argparse completed a prefix into the only flag starting with it:
slots.py --emulator read profiles from a directory named after the
emulator and reported nothing, and pipeline.py --all built every pack
variant. Every parser now refuses an abbreviation.
The deterministic rebuild raises on a member whose bytes fail their
CRC, and the builder caught it and copied the damaged archive into
the pack, expecting verify to flag it, which nothing did. The run now
stops on it and names the file to restore.
The registry names one path per standalone copy for every platform,
but each manifest places the file its own way, so the installer
looked where the pack had put nothing and copied nothing: EmuDeck's
aes_keys.txt for Azahar, Batocera's switch/prod.keys. Each manifest
copy now names its source, which the installer validates and reads.
The cache of manifest hashes was keyed by the database's id without
holding the database, so a freed database replaced at the same
address got another scan's verified hashes back. The key now carries
the sha1 that database expects for the path.
Packs were opened on their final name, so a rebuild truncated the
previous one and a build that failed half way left a readable ZIP
of part of the files. Each pack is now written beside its name and
replaces it only when the write finished.
Emulator mode reduced region groups without knowing which files the
collection holds, so a requested-region image nobody had collected
withdrew the held one and left the slot empty. Platform mode already
kept it; both emulator readers now pass the database.
A target was canonicalised once for the run and kept as typed under
--all when platforms file it differently, so the --all build and a
--platform check named the same Batocera pack two ways. Each pack,
group, manifest and expected name now takes the target as its own
platform files it.
--platform --system --one-per-slot was refused with a message
asking for --platform, which the command carried. The refusal now
names --system or --emulator, and every refusal in the mode matrix
is checked never to ask for a flag it was given.
generate_pack split --platform on commas to validate it, then used
the whole string as one platform and crashed. Every script takes a
single platform; a list is refused with a message pointing at --all.
generate_pack kept a private .gitignore parser whose cache ignored the
root it was asked about, and generate_db a copy of the shared one. Both
now read largefiles.load_registered_paths, cached per root. Test modules
whose main block preceded their last class end with it again.
Region filtering ranked every declared file, held or not, so a request
answered only by a missing file dropped the held fallback and emptied
the slot. Only held files now decide what gives way; the missing better
match stays reported.
A profile lists each version its code takes under one name. The core
extra carries the first; a held copy matching another entry of the same
profile is no longer reported as a hash discrepancy.
Two --from-md5 runs with different hash lists wrote the same file, the
second replacing the first, and a pack limited to thirty systems built
a name longer than a file name may be. The custom pack now carries a
digest of its hash list, and a long system list keeps its first system,
a count and a digest, as the emulator pack does.
The emulator pack recorded only loose files as a path's occupant, so a
path an archive or data tree had filled was reported missing even with
the same bytes in the ZIP, and an archive several profiles ask for was
counted once per profile. verify registered neither, and credited one
profile's file at a path holding another's. Both now record archives
and tree members in pack order; --system snk-neogeo-mvs went from 113
missing in the pack and 51 in verify to 59 on both sides.
Step 2 refreshed the data directories, then the pack build and the
manifest build refreshed them again, so a tree tracking a moving
branch could differ between the pack and the manifest. generate_pack
gains --no-refresh-data, which packs the cached trees and still
fetches release assets; the online pipeline passes it to both builds.
The RetroArch and Lakka pack was built under RetroArch's own name and
renamed afterwards, which overwrote then carried away a --platform
retroarch pack in the same directory, and failed on Windows where
os.rename refuses an existing target.
--system snes joined 23 emulator names into the ZIP name and died
with ENAMETOOLONG before writing anything. The system pack now passes
its own name in, and an --emulator selection too long to join keeps
its first name, a count and a digest of the selection.
