Julian Harnath 39f49f7033 HaikuDepot: speed up package change handling
* During package population, when the repository is being
  refreshed, thousands of package change messages arrive
  in MainWindow while the PackageInfo fields are filled with
  data.

  Every such message caused a full generation of a package
  list (including applying filters to all known packages),
  which is quite slow, and caused the freezing from bug
  #13823. The list was only used temporarily to figure out
  if the package should be visible now or not.

* Instead of generating a new package list, we now only
  match the single updated PackageInfo against the current
  filters.

* Fixes #13823

* To reduce CPU usage even more, it would be better to not
  generate at all, or not subscribe to, package changes while the
  list is being initially populated, and/or to coalesce all the
  changes to each package info into one update message (instead
  of one for title, one for prominence, etc).
  Deferring subscription requires some additional thought on when
  to subscribe then, and how to avoid leaving a "hole" where
  changes would go unnoticed.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

  • Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
  • Clean, clear, concise code.
  • Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing code

If you're submitting a patch to us, please make sure you're following the patch submitting guidelines.

Contributing documentation

The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found in the tree at docs/user). Just find an undocumented class, write documentation for it, and submit a patch.
