In commit Do not warn about duplicate "legacy" targets, we
we added an if, that changed the .po files...
|

|
We now wait for being online ourselves, so all we need to wait
on is for services we are using to be online first. This avoids
severe boot slowdowns by other services having specified an
After=network-online.target without a Wants=.

This fixes the indentation of struct members, for
example, which were previously indented by 4 spaces.

We do not actually test without these libraries, and it likely
would not build without them due to them being NOTFOUND and CMake
exiting with an error, so let's just mark them as required.
|
|
When udev is not available, the variables for libraries and
include paths are set to NOTFOUND rather than an empty string
and CMake exits with an error. Use a generator expression to
only use these variables when UDEV_FOUND is true.

We previously dlopen()ed it, but it seems painful to do that
without any real gain, except for possibly not having libudev
in the address space and not having code #ifdefed for Linux.
The latter means that we are a bit more likely to break stuff
for non-Linux systems now if we play with udev, but at least
we don't end up with it silently breaking because of a libudev
ABI break.
The existing function pointers in the struct were renamed and
kept for compat purposes.
Fixes Debian/apt#48
Also adjust prepare-release to strip [linux-any] from build-depends
for travis.

When writing a Sources files hashes that were already present
in the .dsc were always copied through (or modified), even if
disabled. Remove them instead when they are disabled, otherwise
we end up with hashes for tarballs and stuff but not for dsc
files (as the dsc obviously does not hash itself).
Also adjust the tests: test-compressed-indexes relied on Files
being present in showsrc, and test-apt-update-weak-hashes expected
the tarball to be downloaded when an archive only has MD5 and we
are requiring SHA256 because that used to work because the tarball
was always included.
Closes: #872963
|
|
This fails if no Files field exists anymore, for example, because
the Sources index only contains SHA256 hashes. Instead check all
hashes.
|
|
If a source has a legacy Contents file, and two lines mention
the same archive but different components, a warning would be
issued that is confusing. So, as the field is named Contents-deb-legacy,
let's just not print warnings for fields containing "legacy".

There's no real point in pulling it in in the timer already,
and it it somewhat saver to do so in the service.

Introduce a new helper, apt-helper wait-online that uses
NetworkManager and/or systemd-networkd to wait for them
reporting online, with a time out of 30 seconds; and run
that helper before running the daily update script.

The relevant calling code as well as the implementation for the deb
system was removed 2 years ago with the refactoring of release
information storage (b07aeb1a6e24825e534167a737043441e871de9f).
This commit removes the the unused remains of this change with no
practical effect on anybody (expect codesize) as the methods were
declared as hidden and hence only libapt could have called it.

A libapt user who hasn't initialized _system likely has a reason, so we
shouldn't greet back with a segfault usually deep down in the callstack
for no reason. If the user had intended to pick up information from the
system, _system wouldn't be uninitialized after all.

APT by default logs terminal (term.log) and actions (history.log), but
if either or Dir::Log directly is set to /dev/null it continues to do
so, which isn't too bad – just wasted effort – but term.log is
chmodded to protect it from the general public (as it may contain
otherwise private data the admin entired in the terminal) which
shouldn't happen for /dev/null.

Seems we forgot to update the packaging when adding the manual
page. Once we have translations for it, we need to add them
as well...

It was broken because apt.conf.d was not readable, but that's
where the architecture is defined...
|
|
As a follow up to the last commit, let's replace APT_CONST
with APT_PURE everywhere to clean stuff up.
|
|
Functions marked with the const attribute may not inspect
any global memory. This includes targets of pointers or
references passed as arguments. A pure function however
is free to inspect memory, but may not have any side
effects.
The function StringSplit() was marked as const, but took
two references to strings. When the second one was passed
as a literal as in StringSplit(name, "::") the compiler
cleverly figured out that we only inspect the address of
"::" (since StringSplit is const) and thus optimized away
the "::" content.
While patching out individual broken uses of APT_CONST
would be possible, this is already the second case, and
there might be more, so let's redefine APT_CONST to use
the pure attribute, so we don't end up with the same
situation again in some time.

The version is probably wrong for most, but oh well,
let's just pretend we are introducing them now.

We now require gcc 7 on the packaging side, and add an appropriate
symbol to our symbols file.
Also adjust prepare-release to ignore g++ version requirements
when setting up build dependencies on CI.

This caused a build failure in the test suite.

APT clients always noticed if a method isn't supported and nowadays
generate a message of the form:
E: The method driver …/foobar could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-foobar installed?
This only worked if a single source was using such an unavailable method
through as we were registering the failed config the first round and
the second would try to send requests to the not started method, which
wouldn't work and hang instead (+ hiding the error messages as they would
be shown only at the end of the execution).

If 'apt-ftparchive packages /path/to/files/' (or sources) is used the
files to include in the generated index (on stdout) were included in the
order in which they were discovered, which isn't a very stable order
which could lead to indexes changing without actually changing content
causing needless changes in the repository changing hashsums, pdiffs,
rsyncs, downloads, ….
This does not effect apt-ftparchive calls which already have an order
defined via a filelist (like generate) which will still print in the
order given by the filelist.
Note that a similar effect can be achieved by post-processing index
files with apt-sortpkgs.

The code only used to warn when it came into a situation where
something actually had to be forced. Warn directly after parsing
the command-line instead, that's more accurate.

The feature exists for a long while even if we get around to document
it properly only now, so we should push for its adoption a bit to avoid
the problems its supposed to solve like avoiding usage of non-world
readable configuration files as they can cause strange behaviour for the
unsuspecting user (like different solutions as root and non-root).
|
|
We detect the effected sources by matching Release info – that has
potential by-catch of repositories which have incorrect field values,
but those are better fixed now anyhow. The bigger incorrectness is that
this message will not only be printed for the Debian services itself but
also for all mirrors not under Debian control but serving Debian like more
local/private mirrors which will not (directly) shutdown. It is likely
through that many of them will follow suite with less visible
announcements or break downright if their upstream source disappears, so
having false-positives here seems benefitial for the user in the end.

Opening the file before we drop privileges in the methods allows us to
avoid chowning in the acquire main process which can apply to the wrong
file (imagine Binary scoped settings) and surprises users as their
permission setup is overridden.
There are no security benefits as the file is open, so an evil method
could as before read the contents of the file, but it isn't worse than
before and we avoid permission problems in this setup.
|
|
On HTTP Connect we since recently look into the auth.conf file for login
information, so we should really look for all proxies into the file as
the argument is the same as for sources entries and it is easier to
document (especially as the manpage already mentions it as supported).
|
|
We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing
518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and
netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer
exists making the feature even more arcane.
On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style)
and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit
strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first.
We now do a single pass over the stanzas.
In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not
really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to
document and more usual for an apt user.
Closes: #811181

We used to fail on unreadable config/preferences/sources files, but at
least for sources we didn't in the past and it seems harsh to refuse to
work because of a single file, especially as the error messages are
inconsistent and end up being silly (like suggesting to run apt update
to fix the problem…).
LP: #1701852
|
|
Using different ways of opening files means we have different behaviour
and error messages for them, so by the same for all we can have more
uniformity for users and apt developers alike.
|
|
Failing on too much data is good, but we can do better by checking for
exact filesizes as we know with hashsums how large a file should be, so
if we get a file which has a size we do not expect we can drop it
directly, regardless of if the file is larger or smaller than what we
expect which should catch most cases which would end up as hashsum
errors later now a lot sooner.
|
|
We tend to operate on rather large static files, which means we usually
get Content-Length information from the server. If we combine this
information with the filesize we are expecting (factoring in pipelining)
we can avoid reading a bunch of data we are ending up rejecting anyhow
by just closing the connection saving bandwidth and time both for the
server as well as the client.
|
|
Weak hashes like filesize can be used by methods for basic checks and
early refusals even if we can't use them for hard security proposes.
Normal apt operations are not affected by this as they fail if no strong
hash is available, but if apt is forced to work with weak-only files or
e.g. in apt-helper context it can have benefits as weak is better than
no hash for the methods.
