Summary of Changes

Hello @xusd320, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refactors the package manager's tgz extraction logic to implement a true streaming write mechanism. The primary goal is to enhance memory efficiency and simplify the internal architecture by processing tar entries directly from the incoming stream to the filesystem, rather than buffering their entire contents in memory. This change results in a more robust and scalable unpacking process, particularly beneficial when dealing with large package files.

Highlights

  • Memory Efficiency: The tgz extraction process now uses direct streaming writes, avoiding buffering entire tar entry contents in memory. This significantly reduces memory consumption, especially for large files.
  • Simplified Architecture: The previous two-stage pipeline, which involved separate extraction and file writing tasks communicating via mpsc channels, has been replaced with a single, more direct streaming process.
  • Dependency Reduction: Unnecessary imports like tokio::io::AsyncReadExt, tokio::sync::Semaphore, and tokio::sync::mpsc have been removed, streamlining the codebase.
  • Code Clean-up: The ExtractedEntry struct, which was used to temporarily hold buffered file contents, has been removed as it is no longer needed with the new streaming approach.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the package unpacking logic to use a true streaming approach, which is a great improvement. By using tokio::io::copy, it avoids reading entire file entries into memory, significantly reducing memory consumption and simplifying the code by removing the complex two-stage pipeline with channels and semaphores. The changes make the code more maintainable and robust. I have a couple of suggestions to further simplify the code by removing concurrency primitives that are no longer necessary in the new sequential implementation.
