We have to use actual targets that cause the respective download and
extract the packages. Otherwise the build fails when the packages
haven't been extracted yet.
Missed that when adding the script. Therefore it would be created in the
current directory and when building multiple packages concurrently the
script would be overwritten.
The new configure option "--use-xattr-ref" enables an xattr assisted
variant of the generic attribute emulation. Instead of using the inode
ID of a node to identify its attribute directory, we use a reasonably
unique random 128 bit number, which we generate and attach as an
attribute to the node. This way, when a node changes its inode ID
(defragmentation?) or the inode ID of a removed node with a left-over
attribute directory is reused, attributes won't get mixed up.
The old method is still used for symlinks (since on Linux only
priviledged users can write attributes on symlinks), but those usually
only have a rather boring BEOS:TYPE attribute, so mix-ups wouldn't be
that problematic anyway.
* After examining MacOS toolbox roms, I think i've got
this nailed down. The MacOS Toolbox rom contains chrp
code at the top and binary code at the bottom.
* The Raw format for the chrp seemed to cause issues with the
OpenFirmware boot process on some systems. NetBSD uses a '-'
file type.
* The format of the chrp seems a lot more sensitive across machines
than described. Ensure our returns and spaces are even.
* Booting with the 'c' key is still working on my older OpenFirmware
machine with the chrp script. The bitmap logo is a half black, half
white box.
* I removed the &device; alias for now for troubleshooing. It also may
of been causing compatibility issues. More testing is needed.
* It seems like not all NewWorld OpenFirmware
versions support booting from CHRP scripts.
* Move Haiku elf bootloader into bootloader.b
type tbxi. As it is in the blessed directory
it is picked up by cd:,\\:tbxi
* Adjust bootinfo.txt to point to bootloader
&device; ensures that the image can be started
regardless of source media
* Adjust bootinfo.txt to use \\ as base. \\ is an
alias for the blessed folder on the boot media
* Rename ofboot.b to ofboot.chrp to avoid confusion
* Add .txt, .html to hfs.map to identify them properly
* The haiku-boot-cd-ppc.iso now boots on my G3 PowerBook
by holding the 'c' key at startup. The boot menu colors
are incorrect (white background) but it is a step in
the right direction.
* New chrp script. Blank icon for the moment, if someone
could figure out how to make a chrp icon that would be
neat.
* Tested working on qemu and real hardware. Need to test
on a more modern PowerPC Mac however.
* this package wraps the haiku_cross_devel package (i.e. it contains
that package in /develop/cross)
* the wrapper package is meant to be installed into the system
hierarchy, from where haikuporter will fetch the contained package
when needed
* add HAIKU_PACKAGING_ARCH, which is set to the target packaging
architecture
* introduce support for generic package infos, which are package infos
that are the same for all architectures, except for the declaration
of the package architecture itself
* move package info files underneath architecture-specific or generic
folder
* BuildHaikuPackage rule: Create the script that contains the extraction
commands.
* build_haiku_package: Add extractFile() function (stripped down version
from build_haiku_image).
In build_haiku_image the functionality was mainly used to extract the
optional packages, which is no longer done. We still need it e.g. for
the Wifi firmware packages that want to be extracted.
* Add new package haiku_loader.hpkg and move haiku_loader there. The
package is built without compression, so that the stage 1 boot loader
has a chance of loading it.
* Adjust the stage 1 boot loader to load the haiku_loader package and
relocate the boot loader code accordingly.
It allows to control the compression level used for package creation
and update. The default (9) is *very* slow, so developers may want to
use a smaller level during the regular development process to keep
turn-around times low.
* Switch bash, debugger, less, telnet[d] and top apps to use termcap
functionality provided by ncurses lib instead of GNU libtermcap.so;
* NetBSD version of tput utility replaced with ncurses' one. Fixes #9606;
* terminfo database is provided as mandatory package installed during
building target system;
* Remove libtermcap module. The termcap database source and
corresponding build rules are not removed to provide backward compatibility -
until all optional packages will be rebuild on upcoming system version
using terminfo. Note that gcc2 builds may require to provide termcap a bit
longer in the sake of binary compatibility with R5 era apps.
* add vesa.accelerant, vesa driver, ps2, isa, bios, generic_x86 for x86_64 too
* only have reiserfs, firewire, agp_gart targets for x86
* reverted hrev43950, liblocale alias shouldn't be needed anymore
This means the build tools will no longer be built against the host
platform's libbe, which avoids compatibility problems -- e.g. an
older Haiku host libbe may not have certain features the build tools
require -- and also makes the build behave more similiar on Haiku and
other platforms. The host libroot dependency still remains and is not
easy to get rid of.
Also remove some bits of BeOS/Dano/Zeta build support.
* Update MimeSet rule to use the MIME DB the build system creates.
* Add CreateAppMimeDBEntries rule and call it from Link for targets that
might be applications that need to be registered with the MIME DB. For
the target the rule is invoked with it creates a directory into which
the entries for the types to be registered are written. The directory
is associated with the target via the HAIKU_MIME_DB_ENTRIES variable.
* AddFilesToContainer: If a target is added that has MIME DB entries,
also add those to the container.
* build_haiku_package: Call mimeset for the package contents.
Since the same driver can be added in more than one category, in a few
cases AddDriversToContainer was invoked twice for the same target. Avoid
adding the driver twice to add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin in such a case.
Didn't really cause any problem, but no need to copy the file twice.
* build_haiku_image: Remove MIME DB creation code.
* Rename beos_mime source directory to mime_db.
* Add rules to build the MIME DB in the source directory's jamfile.
* Add MIME DB directory to haiku.hpkg in data/mime_db.
