6 Acquire - File Acquiration
8 This module contians the Acquire system. It is responsible for bringing
9 files into the local pathname space. It deals with URIs for files and
10 URI handlers responsible for downloading or finding the URIs.
12 Each file to download is represented by an Acquire::Item class subclassed
13 into a specialization. The Item class can add itself to several URI
14 acquire queues each prioritized by the download scheduler. When the
15 system is run the proper URI handlers are spawned and the the acquire
16 queues are fed into the handlers by the schedular until the queues are
17 empty. This allows for an Item to be downloaded from an alternate source
18 if the first try turns out to fail. It also alows concurrent downloading
19 of multiple items from multiple sources as well as dynamic balancing
20 of load between the sources.
22 Schedualing of downloads is done on a first ask first get basis. This
23 preserves the order of the download as much as possible. And means the
24 fastest source will tend to process the largest number of files.
26 Internal methods and queues for performing gzip decompression,
27 md5sum hashing and file copying are provided to allow items to apply
28 a number of transformations to the data files they are working with.

33 /** \defgroup acquire Acquire system
35 * \brief The Acquire system is responsible for retrieving files from
36 * local or remote URIs and postprocessing them (for instance,
37 * verifying their authenticity). The core class in this system is
38 * pkgAcquire, which is responsible for managing the download queues
39 * during the download. There is at least one download queue for
40 * each supported protocol; protocols such as http may provide one
43 * Each file to download is represented by a subclass of
44 * pkgAcquire::Item. The files add themselves to the download
45 * queue(s) by providing their URI information to
46 * pkgAcquire::Item::QueueURI, which calls pkgAcquire::Enqueue.
48 * Once the system is set up, the Run method will spawn subprocesses
49 * to handle the enqueued URIs; the scheduler will then take items
50 * from the queues and feed them into the handlers until the queues
53 * \todo Acquire supports inserting an object into several queues at
54 * once, but it is not clear what its behavior in this case is, and
55 * no subclass of pkgAcquire::Item seems to actually use this
