* debian/rules: - Make DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt actually work by passing the right CXXFLAGS. * apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.{h,cc}: - Add support for reading of gzipped files with the new "ReadOnlyGzip" OpenMode. (Closes: #188407) - Link against zlib (in apt-pkg/makefile) and add zlib build dependency. - [ABI BREAK] This adds a new private member to FileFd, but its initialization is in the public header file. * configure.in: - Check for zlib library and headers. * apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc, apt-pkg/deb/debindexfile.cc, apt-pkg/deb/debrecords.cc, apt-pkg/deb/debsrcrecords.h, cmdline/apt-cache.cc: - Open Packages, Sources, and Translations indexes in "ReadOnlyGzip" mode. * apt-pkg/deb/debindexfile.cc: - If we do not find uncompressed package/source/translation indexes, look for gzip compressed ones. * apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc: - If the Acquire::GzipIndexes option is true and we download a gzipped index file, keep it as it is (and rename to .gz) instead of uncompressing it. * doc/apt.conf.5.xml: - Document the new Acquire::GzipIndexes option. * doc/po/apt-doc.pot, doc/po/de.po: - German translation of new Acquire::GzipIndexes option. * Add test/test-indexes.sh: - Test behaviour of index retrieval and usage, in particular with uncompressed and gzip compressed indexes. * methods/gzip.cc: With FileFd now being able to read gzipped files, there is no need for the gzip method any more to spawn an external gzip process. Rewrite it to use FileFd directly, which makes the code a lot simpler, and also using less memory and overhead.
