Ticket #12061 (Let the position of packages and config files customizeable) created

Latest Bugs & Tasks - Mon, 2015-05-11 23:18

I think it is a good idea to let users to choose where to install their packages and config files besides the default directory. This method could solve the problems of some hard coded old softwares, and give users the right to make choice.

Reimplement unnamed POSIX semaphores using user_mutex

Source Activity - Mon, 2015-05-11 20:14
* Fixes sharing semantics, so non-shared semaphores in non-shared memory do not become shared after a fork. * Adds two new system calls: _user_mutex_sem_acquire/release(), which reuse the user_mutex address-hashed wait mechanism. * Named semaphores continue to use traditional sem_id semaphores. * Fixes sharing semantics, so non-shared semaphores in non-shared memory do not become shared after a fork. * Adds two new system calls: _user_mutex_sem_acquire/release(), which reuse the user_mutex address-hashed wait mechanism. * Named semaphores continue to use traditional sem_id semaphores.

Update icu x86_64 package with namespace renaming enabled.

Source Activity - Sun, 2015-05-10 19:13
"Renaming" means the icu namespace is suffixed with the version number, atm icu_55. Using "renaming" allows to use two different versions of ICU, thus easing upgrades. For instance haikuwebkit uses a current version of ICU, while the system uses a newer one after an upgrade. * Replace all uses of the icu namespace in our public headers, with a macro defaulting to icu. As the namespace is only used for private fields pointers, there should be no impact. * Locale kit *.cpp have to import the macro from *before* including any locale headers. Ditto for a Time preferences cpp file. This way, the correct current icu namespace is referenced. * Fixes bug #12057.
