21 *
22 * Files can be compressed in various ways to decrease the size of the
23 * download. Therefore the Acquiremethods support a few compression types
24 * and some archives provide also a few different types. This option
25 * group exists to give the user the choice to prefer one type over the
26 * other (some compression types are very resource intensive - great if you
27 * have a limited download, bad if you have a really lowpowered hardware.)
28 *
29 * This method ensures that the defaults are set and checks at runtime
30 * if the type can be used. E.g. the current default is to prefer bzip2
31 * over lzma and gz - if the bzip2 binary is not available it has not much
32 * sense in downloading the bz2 file, therefore we will not return bz2 as
33 * a usable compression type. The availability is checked with the settings
34 * in the Dir::Bin group.
35 *
36 * \param Cached saves the result so we need to calculated it only once
37 * this parameter should ony be used for testing purposes.
38 *
39 * \return a vector of the compression types in the preferred usage order

46 * This methods handles the various ways to set the preferred codes,
47 * honors the environment and ensures that the codes are not listed twice.
48 *
49 * The special word "environment" will be replaced with the long and the short
50 * code of the local settings and it will be insured that this will not add
51 * duplicates. So in an german local the setting "environment, de_DE, en, de"
52 * will result in "de_DE, de, en".
53 *
54 * Another special word is "none" which separates the preferred from all codes
55 * in this setting. So setting and method can be used to get codes the user want
56 * to see or to get all language codes APT (should) have Translations available.
