Cache manager rewrite branch

[Maarten Bosma]

Hi,

I'd like to give you a little report on the status of the cache manager 
rewrite branch. Since Filip and Hartmut are gone no one worked on it, 
though the actual functionality is already completed since the first 
commit in February 2005 and the code just needs to debugged.

So decided to give it a try and merged the changes from trunk in there. 
I had to recreated the branch, from the last unlocked revision because 
of all the directory movements and tortoise merge having problems with 
them.

I also did some debugging work on it. I have stored my results in the 
bugzilla bugs 942, 1360 and 1362. These are the only bugs I know of 
which hinder the branch from being merged to trunk. I am going on 
holiday tomorrow, so it would be nice if anyone else could continue 
working on fixing them.

You can also help testing because we should do a lot of testing before 
merging. Especially file IO intensive applications, like installers need 
testing. Also the ext2fs branch, Microsoft's ntfs.sys and Vmware tools 
could work. But I haven't tested any of them.
I will provide a patch to trunk so you do not have to check out or 
switch to the branch which is quite annoying, because all the locked 
entries are checked out again.

Hopefully the new cache manager will be in place when I am back.


Best Regards

I've tried this patch out, and had issues with the mIRC 6.16
installer, the Abiword 2.2.9 installer, and Firefox 1.5 installer.

Are it the same problems as in bugs 942, 1360 and 1362 or different ones ?

Honestly I would need to test again to be certain, but it was mostly
the installers complaining.
