Repositories are identified with a 'url' in the remote 'repo.info' file. There is also a 'base url' which is the URL locally with which the system is able to access the repository data on. There is some confusion between these two terms in the source. This change aims to separate the two out and consistently name them. The settings for the repository locally also was not storing these values and that has been fixed. Debug info about the repositories also did not display the two urls consistently and will now also do so. Finally, HaikuDepot now correlates locally configured repositories with the data in HaikuDepotServer using the identifier URL; this makes the use of mirrors with HaikuDepot possible. Fixes #13888 Change-Id: I66dfe589b05c24e1ab123a6945352e0f24b60bf1
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
