proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo:
Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS.
This commit is the start of the NEW history.
Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point.
Creation process:
1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot
2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files
3. Transform all Manifests to thin
4. Remove empty Manifests
5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$
5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags.

It is extensible to any string type, with @String@, + @ByteString@ and @Text@ provided out of the box. + + Basic usage: Parsing a tree (/Tree/), formatting a tree (/Format/). + Other features: Helpers for processing XML trees (/Proc/), trees annotated with + XML source location (/Annotated/), extended XML trees with comments, + processing instructions, etc (/Extended/), XML cursors (/Cursor/), + SAX-style parse (/SAX/), and access to the low-level interface in case speed + is paramount (/Internal.IO/). + + The design goals are speed, speed, speed, interface simplicity and modularity. + + For introduction and examples, see the /Text.XML.Expat.Tree/ module. For benchmarks, + <http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hexpat/> + + If you want to do interactive I\/O, an obvious option is to use lazy parsing + with one of the lazy I\/O functions such as hGetContents. However, this can be + problematic in some applications because it doesn't handle I\/O errors properly + and can give no guarantee of timely resource cleanup. In these cases, chunked + I\/O is a better approach: Take a look at the /hexpat-enumerator/ package. + + /IO/ is filed under /Internal/ because it's low-level and most users won't want + it. The other /Internal/ modules are re-exported by /Annotated/, /Tree/ and /Extended/, + so you won't need to import them directly. + + Credits to Iavor Diatchki and the @xml@ (XML.Light) package for /Proc/ and /Cursor/. + Thanks to the many contributors. + + BOUND VS. UNBOUND THREADS: GHC (at least versions 6.12.X) will spawn threads + if you call a safe FFI callback from an unbound thread. This can get out of + control in a busy application. To avoid this, from version 0.19.1 we now delegate + processing to a single worker thread if the calling thread is not bound. + This essentially means that hexpat currently won't exploit multicores very well. + It also means that hexpat may be more efficient on threads spawned with forkOS + (to give you a bound thread) rather than forkIO. + + ChangeLog: 0.15 changes intended to fix a (rare) \"error: a C finalizer called back into Haskell.\" + that seemed only to happen only on ghc6.12.X; 0.15.1 Fix broken Annotated parse; + 0.16 switch from mtl to transformers; 0.17 fix mapNodeContainer & rename some things.; + 0.18 rename defaultEncoding to overrideEncoding. 0.18.3 formatG and indent were demanding list + items more than once (inefficient in chunked processing); 0.19 add Extended.hs; + 0.19.1 fix a memory leak introduced in 0.19, delegate parsing to bound thread + if unbound (see note above); 0.19.2 include expat source code so \'cabal install\' just works + on Linux, Mac and Windows (thanks Jacob Stanley); 0.19.3 fix misconfiguration of expat + which broke entity parsing; 0.19.4 bump version constraint for text; 0.19.5 bump text + to < 0.12 and fix text-0.10.0.1 breakage; 0.19.6 dependency breakage with List; + 0.19.7 ghc-7.2.1 compatibility; 0.19.8 fix space leak on lazy parse under ghc-7.2.1 + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
