Detailed Description

template<typename Str, typename Itr>
struct pkgCache< Str, Itr >::PackageFile

stores information about the files used to generate the cache

Package files are referenced by Version structures to be able to know after the generation still from which Packages file includes this Version as we need this information later on e.g. for pinning.

Member Data Documentation

Flags

template<typename Str , typename Itr >

map_flags_t Flags

Todo:

document PackageFile::Flags

IndexType

template<typename Str , typename Itr >

map_stringitem_t IndexType

indicates what sort of index file this is

Todo:

enumerate at least the possible indexes

Size

template<typename Str , typename Itr >

map_filesize_t Size

Size of the file.

Used together with the modification time as a simple check to ensure that the Packages file has not been altered since Cache generation.
