We use these constants in both MenuField.cpp and BMCPrivate.cpp
Incorporate kMarginWidth into kPopUpIndicatorWidth.
A small code simplication in FrameResized() along with replacing bare numbers
with magic constants.
* the Virtio PCI bus driver exposes a Virtio controller to the Virtio bus manager,
which in turn exposes a Virtio device consumed by Virtio drivers. Drivers follow the
new driver model.
* virtio_block handles Virtio block devices under disk/virtual/virtio_block/x/raw.
* Here is the Qemu command line option for Virtio disk devices:
-drive file=haiku.image,if=virtio
* the PCI bus driver currently supports only legacy interrupts (no MSI(-X) yet).
* There is room for improvements in the bus manager:
- it notifies the host for each queued request, which isn't optimal.
- transfer descriptors should probably be simply preallocated (they are nicely
leaked at the moment).
- indirect descriptors are not supported yet.
and in the block driver:
- get the id of the disk.
- implements flushing the cache.
- improves dma restrictions.
- do_io() should use a page for header descriptors instead of malloc(), which
could cross boundaries.
* The device manager tries to guess the driver based on the PCI device type, this
implies having to declare the "busses/virtio" path for each possible type
provided by Virtio. Thus future driver additions might require patching the device
manager.
* virtio.h is still private, the API is subject to changes.
* virtio_pci.h, virtio_blk.h, virtio_ring.h are copied unchanged from FreeBSD.
... the one expected for the respective attribute. Before it was
possible that e.g. a uint was read and then interpreted as a
const char*, if a string was expected for that attribute.
... <package/hpkg/PackageAttributes.h>, which also defines other
properties (name and type) for each attribute. It does so via a macro
that the caller can define to generate whatever code is desired.
Global and user settings files can be declared. For global ones an
update policy can be specified. If not specified, the settings file is
not included in the package, but created by the program (or user) later.
If an update type is specified, it defines what to do with the settings
file when updating the package to a newer version.
User settings files are never included in the package; they are always
created by the program or the user. If the package contains a template/
default settings file, it can be declared, but for informative purposes
only.
* Add minor_version to hpkg_header and hpkg_repo_header and make
heap_compression uint16.
* If the minor version of a package/repository file is greater than the
current one unknown attributes are ignored without error. This allows
introducing new harmless attributes without making the resulting files
unreadable for older package kit versions.
* ReaderImplBase:
- Add virtual CreateCachedHeapReader() which can create a cached
reader based on the given heap reader.
- Rename HeapReader() to RawHeapReader() and add HeapReader() for the
cached heap reader.
- Add DetachHeapReader() to allow a clients to remove the heap
reader(s) after deleting the ReaderImplBase object.
* packagefs:
- Add CachedDataReader class, which wraps a given
BAbstractBufferedDataReader and provides caching for it using a
VMCache. The implementation is based on the IOCache implementation.
- Use CachedDataReader to wrap the heap reader. For file data that
means they are cached twice -- in the heap reader cache and in the
file cache -- but due to the heap reader using a VMCache as well,
the pages will be recycled automatically anyway. For attribute data
the cache should be very helpful, since they weren't cached at all
before.
* Add flags parameter to Init() of BPackageReader and friends.
* Introduce flag B_HPKG_READER_DONT_PRINT_VERSION_MISMATCH_MESSAGE and
don't print a version mismatch error when given.
* package extract/list: Use the new flag.
* Pull _UnwriteLastPartialChunk() out of Reinit() for reuse.
* _UnwriteLastPartialChunk(): fPendingDataSize wasn't set.
* _PushChunks(): Some simplifications for clarity.
* ChunkBuffer/RemoveDataRanges(): Use data reading and decompression
methods provided by our base class instead of duplicating the
implementation.
* RemoveDataRanges():
- _FlushPendingData() before starting, so we don't ignore the pending
data and _UnwriteLastPartialChunk() when done, so a partial chunk
is read back into the pending data buffer.
- fUncompressedHeapSize wasn't reset before the main processing loop,
thus resulting in an erroneous size later on.
* Introduce BPackageWriterParameters which comprises all parameters
for package creation, currently flags and compression level. Such an
object can be passed to BPackageWriter::Init() and is passed on to
PackageWriterImpl and WriterImplBase.
* PackageFileHeapWriter: Add compressionLevel property and pass the
value on to ZlibCompressor.
* package add/create: Add options -0 ... -9 to specify the compression
level to be used.
Instead of handling compression for individual file/attribute data we
do now compress the whole heap where they are stored. This
significantly improves compression ratios. We still divide the
uncompressed data into 64 KiB chunks and use a chunk offset array for
the compressed chunks to allow for quick random access without too much
overhead. The tradeoff is a limited possible compression ratio -- i.e.
we won't be as good as tar.gz (though surprisingly with my test
archives we did better than zip).
The other package file sections (package attributes and TOC) are no
longer compressed individually. Their uncompressed data are simply
pushed onto the heap where the usual compression strategy applies. To
simplify things the repository format has been changed in the same
manner although it doesn't otherwise use the heap, since it only stores
meta data.
Due to the data compression having been exposed in public and private
API, this change touches a lot of package kit using code, including
packagefs and the boot loader packagefs support. The latter two haven't
been tested yet. Moreover packagefs needs a new kind of cache so we
avoid re-reading the same heap chunk for two different data items it
contains.
It is no longer public (or even private) API. BPackageDataReaderFactory
returns a BAbstractBufferedDataReader instead. The advantage is that
the latter doesn't have hpkg format specific dependencies.
It doesn't do much in terms of buffering, but defines an interface
buffered readers can implement, namely the additional
ReadDataToOutput() which currently BPackageDataReader specifies.
It uses sub-namespace BPackage::BHPKG::V1. Unlike the one for the
current format version, the V1 version of BPackageInfoContentHandler
lives in BHPKG(::V1) sub-namespace and is private.
* Use enums/constants/functions instead of preprocessor macros.
* Missing include in PackageInfoAttributeValue.h.
* PackageReaderImpl::Init(): Check version before header size and
return B_MISMATCHED_VALUES instead of B_BAD_DATA, if the version
doesn't match. This allows callers to determine the condition and
try a reader for a different version. A more flexible interface for
that case would be nice, but since we want to support the old package
version only temporarily, the current solution should be good enough.
* 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.
* If at least one image is either B_HAIKU_ABI_GCC_2_ANCIENT or
B_HAIKU_ABI_GCC_2_BEOS almost all areas are marked as executable.
* B_EXECUTE_AREA and B_STACK_AREA are made public. The former is enforced since
the introduction of DEP and apps need it to correctly set area protection.
The latter is currently needed only to recognize stack areas and fix their
protection in compatibility mode, but may also be useful if an app wants
to use sigaltstack from POSIX API.
* Factor out the code to add some data to the about window, with a header and a content under it
* Make this method public so it's possible to add custom entries in an about box
* If the method is called with only the header or only the content, the text is added non-bold and non-indented (like the description entry*).
* Make the header text bold. I'm not sure it looks that good, after all. Thoughts ?
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.
