6 System - Abstraction for running on different systems.
7
8 Instances of this class can be thought of as factories or meta-classes
9 for a variety of more specialized classes. Together this class and
1e3f4083 10 it's specialized offspring completely define the environment and how
b2e465d6
AL
11 to access resources for a specific system. There are several sub
12 areas that are all orthogonal - each system has a unique combination of
13 these sub areas:
14 - Versioning. Different systems have different ideas on versions.
15 Within a system all sub classes must follow the same versioning
16 rules.
17 - Local tool locking to prevent multiple tools from accessing the
18 same database.
19 - Candidate Version selection policy - this is probably almost always
20 managed using a standard APT class
21 - Actual Package installation
22 * Indication of what kind of binary formats are supported
23 - Selection of local 'status' indexes that make up the pkgCache.
24
25 It is important to note that the handling of index files is not a
1e3f4083 26 function of the system. Index files are handled through a separate
b2e465d6
AL
27 abstraction - the only requirement is that the index files have the
28 same idea of versioning as the target system.
29
30 Upon startup each supported system instantiates an instance of the
31 pkgSystem class (using a global constructor) which will make itself
32 available to the main APT init routine. That routine will select the
33 proper system and make it the global default.
