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

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