2013-04-24implement the /compare/pkg1/pkg2 page differentlyHelmut Grohne
The original version had two major drawbacks: 1) The SQL query used would cause a btree sort, so the time waiting for the first output was rather long. 2) For packages with many equal files, the output would grow with O(n^2). Thanks to the suggestions by Christine Grohne and Klaus Aehlig. The approach now groups files in package1 by their main hash value (sha512). It also does some work SQL was designed to solve manually now. To speed up page generation a new caching table was added identifying which files have corresponding shared files.
2013-03-09split content table to a hash tableHelmut Grohne
In the old content table (package, filename, size) would be the same for multiple hash functions. Now the schema represents that each file has precisely one size, but multiple hashes.

2013-03-02add sharing tableHelmut Grohne
The sharing table is a cache for the /binary web pages. It essentially contains the numbers presented. This caching table is not automatically populated. It needs to be reconstructed after every (group of) package imports.
