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

47 * This methods handles the various ways to set the prefered codes,
48 * honors the environment and ensures that the codes are not listed twice.
49 *
50 * The special word "environment" will be replaced with the long and the short
51 * code of the local settings and it will be insured that this will not add
52 * duplicates. So in an german local the setting "environment, de_DE, en, de"
53 * will result in "de_DE, de, en".
54 *
55 * Another special word is "none" which separates the prefered from all codes
56 * in this setting. So setting and method can be used to get codes the user want
57 * to see or to get all language codes APT (should) have Translations available.
58 *
59 * \param All return all codes or only codes for languages we want to use
60 * \param Cached saves the result so we need to calculated it only once
