A simple HTTP server implementation is so few lines of code when one
is linking to libsoup anyways, so let's just have one here in ostree
that will be used for the test suite.
This allows us to run the archive tests that previously required
apache even in gnome-ostree.
This is where loose content objects are stored as one compressed file,
instead of the two separate ones for regular archive mode. This mode
would be suitable for HTTP servers, beause only one HTTP request is
necessary, and the result would be compressed.
Since we're making a shared library, it should be usable by non-GPL
apps.
To allow more code sharing between the core and the tests, move them
to the LGPLv2+ too.
A few bits of test and other code are still GPL. See the new COPYING
file for more information.
This necessitated a large set of changes.
We now support an "archive" mode for repositories. In this mode,
files are stored "packed" rather than hard linked. This allows one to
e.g. store an OSTree repository with root-owned files as non-root. It
is also used as the basis for serving repositories via HTTP.
While doing this I realized that GVariant is endianness-dependent; I
decided to just store all data in big endian.
