rred: If there were I/O errors, fail

2016-02-04T16:56:27Z

We basically ignored errors from writing and flushing, let's not do that.

act on various suggestions from cppcheck

allow pdiff bootstrap from all supported compressors

2016-01-08T14:40:01Z

There is no reason to enforce that the file we start the bootstrap with is compressed with a compressor which is available online. This allows us to change the on-disk format as well as deals with repositories adding/removing support for a specific compressor.

rred: Run in parallel

2016-01-07T16:32:39Z

Remove the SingleInstance flag so we can use the new randomized queue feature to run parallel.

rred: Use buffered writes

2015-12-27T15:23:32Z

Buffered writes improve performance a lot, given that we spent about 78% of the time in _write.

rred: Only call pkgInitConfig() in test mode

2015-12-27T12:25:23Z

This accidentally slipped in in a previous commit, but it should be used only for testing mode. Reported-By: David Kalnischkies

Convert most callers of isspace() to isspace_ascii()

2015-12-27T00:20:41Z

This converts all callers that read machine-generated data, callers that might work with user input are not converted.

rred: Allow passing files as arguments for compressor testing

2015-12-26T14:29:00Z

This introduces a -t mode in which the first argument is input, the second is output and the remaining are diffs. This allows us to test patching compressed files, which are detected using their file extension.

allow acquire method specific options via Binary scope

2015-11-05T11:21:33Z

Allows users who know what they are getting themselves into with this trick to e.g. disable privilege dropping for e.g. file:// until they can fix up the permissions on those repositories. It helps also the test framework and people with a similar setup (= me) to run in less modified environments.
