* ... instead of queuing it for the job thread. The advantage is that
the request will be handled immediately and clients won't have to wait
for transactions (which may even require user feedback) to finish. It
complicates Volume a bit, since there are now two threads that may
access it. The shared data have been moved to a State object which is
protected by a lock.
* For commit transaction requests check whether another package request
is already pending/in progress before queuing a job. Fail immediately,
if there is.
Fixes bug #10039.
* daemon: Handle new request B_MESSAGE_COMMIT_TRANSACTION. It activates
and deactivates given sets of packages. The new packages must be
placed in a directory in the administrative directory. The daemon
moves them to the packages directory and the deactivated packages to
a subdirectory it creates. It also save the old activation state
there.
* Add private BActivationTransaction, describing an activation change
transaction.
* BDaemonClient: Add CommitTransaction(), which sends a given
BActivationTransaction as a B_MESSAGE_COMMIT_TRANSACTION request to
the daemon.
Completely untested yet.
* Rename PackageDaemonDefs.h to DaemonDefs.h.
* Replace the MESSAGE_GET_PACKAGES by the new
B_MESSAGE_GET_INSTALLATION_LOCATION_INFO, which not only returns the
packages, but also other information about the installation location.
* daemon: Volume: Implement a change count which is bumped whenever
packages are activated/deactivated/added/removed. Cache the reply
for a location info request, using the change count to check whether
it is still up-to-date.
* Add private BDaemonClient for communication with the daemon.
* BRoster:
- Add GetInstallationLocationInfo() using BDaemonClient.
- Reimplement GetActivePackages(), using
GetInstallationLocationInfo().
