Most servers who close the connection do not send a content-length as
this is redundant information usually, but some might and while testing
with our server and with 'aptwebserver::response-header::Connection' set
to 'close' I noticed that http hangs after a redirect in such cases, so
if we have the information, just use it instead of discarding it.

We usually use absolute paths to specific the location of dpkg, apt-key
and the like, but there is nothing wrong with using just the command
name and instead let exec(3) make the lookup in PATH.
We had a wild mixture before, so opting for the more accepting option
out of the two seems about right especially as it makes no difference in
the default case as apt uses absolute paths.

Just closing the fd would be enough, but while we are at it we can also
use the Popen interface to have an easier time with this.

Not a big deal to leak fds in debugging mode, but for completeness.

Seen first in #826783, but as this buglog also shows leaked uncompressed
files as well we don't close it just yet.

This effects only compressors configured on the fly (rather then the
inbuilt ones as they use a library).

The comment says it should have been removed with Lenny+1 which is a
small while ago already, so it seems like a good time now…
And as this is a cleanup commit it also gets right of spurious
whitespace at the end of lines, adds missing fold markers and similar
busy work.

We had an old FIXME saying that it is probably pointless to do this if
we limit by length of the commandline already and I completely agree.
The splitting is bad enough if it must be done, so we should only do it
if we have to (as in absolute length of commandline) and, but that is
just a remark, it is unlikely that we ever have/had a call triggering
this as the default value was ~32000 items…
|
|
We end our operation by calling "dpkg --configure -a", so instead of
running a (big) configure run with all packages mentioned explicitly
before this, we simply skip them and let them be handled by this call
implicitly.
There isn't really an observeable gain to be had here from a speed
point, but it helps in avoiding an (uncommon) problem of having a too
long commandline passed to dpkg, which we would split up (probably
incorrectly).

Most (if not all) solvers should be able to run perfectly fine without
root privileges as they get the entire state they are supposed to work
on via stdin and do not perform any action directly, but just pass
suggestions on via stdout.
The new default is to run them all as _apt hence, but each solver can
configure another user if it chooses/must. The security benefits are
minimal at best, but it helps preventing silly mistakes (see
35f3ed061f10a25a3fb28bc988fddbb976344c4d) and that is always good.
Note that our 'apt' and 'dump' solver already dropped privileges if they
had them.

Create and log the EDSP(like) request even if we use the internal
resolver.
|
|
It wasn't noticeable before, but now with the (optional) logging it can
be observed that we decide in the internal path two times if an internal
or external solver should be used (and hence with logging, it is
attempted twice), so if we are in the internal path call the internal
resolver directly, which means those internal methods need to be public
– but we can hide them based on the symbol at least.

For bugreports and co it could be handy to have the scenario and all the
settings used in it around later for inspection for EDSP like protocols.
EDSP might not be the most interesting as the user can still interrupt
the process before the solution is applied and users tend to have an
opinion on the "rightness" of a solution, so it is disabled by default.
|
|
EDSP(-like) protocols are one-shot processes working on data which
exists only as long as they run (as they get feed via a pipe), so trying
to write a cache for it is pretty pointless, especially as it will
usually fail as the cache files tend to be owned by root, but the
process is run as a unpriviledged user (either _apt if called by root,
otherwise the user of the caller).
So this was in fact only observeable with our testcases which run as
non-root and the worst which happens is that a valid cache is overridden
with an invalid one which the next run will detect and not use.

With have better ways to compare, manipulate and work with strings, so
use it instead of counting string length by hand with is a wonder it
hasn't failed yet. Ignoreable from a changelog perspective as there is
no behaviour change.
Git-Dch: Ignore
|
|
The classes are all marked as hidden, so changing them is no problem ABI
wise and will help with introducing protocols similar to EDSP.
The change has no observeable behavior difference, its just code
juggling.

The script takes the version from the changelog, but if it lacks behind
and the symbols file already includes symbols tagged for the next
version the helper prints incorrect lines as NEW for these symbols, but
ideally it shouldn't print them at all as the symbol is already dealt
with.

EDSP had a WriteSolution method to write out the entire solution based
on the inspection of a given pkgDepCache, but that is rather inflexible
both for EDSP itself and for other EDSP like-protocols. It seems better
to use a smaller scope in printing just a single stanza based on a given
version as there is more reuse potential.
|
|
Currently an EDSP solver gets send basically all versions which means
the absolute count is the same, but that might not be true forever (and
with the skipping of rc-only versions it kinda is already) and even if
it were true, segfaulting on bad input seems wrong.

First seen on hurd, but easily reproducible on all systems by removing
the 'execution' bit from the current working directory and watching some
tests (mostly the no-output expecting tests) fail due to find printing:
"find: Failed to restore initial working directory: …"
Samuel Thibault says in the bugreport:
| To do its work, find first records the $PWD, then goes to
| /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ to find the files, and then goes back to $PWD.
|
| On Linux, getting $PWD from the 700 directory happens to work by luck
| (POSIX says that getcwd can return [EACCES]: Search permission was denied
| for the current directory, or read or search permission was denied for a
| directory above the current directory in the file hierarchy). And going
| back to $PWD fails, and thus find returns 1, but at least it emitted its
| output.
|
| On Hurd, getting $PWD from the 700 directory fails, and find thus aborts
| immediately, without emitting any output, and thus no keyring is found.
|
| So, to summarize, the issue is that since apt-get update runs find as a
| non-root user, running it from a 700 directory breaks find.
Solved as suggested by changing to '/' before running find, with some
paranoia extra care taking to ensure the paths we give to find are really
absolute paths first (they really should, but TMPDIR=. or a similar
Dir::Etc::trustedparts setting could exist somewhere in the wild).
The commit takes also the opportunity to make these lines slightly less
error ignoring and the two find calls using (mostly) the same parameters.
Thanks: Samuel Thibault for 'finding' the culprit!

In 8b79c94af7f7cf2e5e5342294bc6e5a908cacabf changing to usage of C++ way
of setting the locale causes us to be terminated in case of usage of an
ungenerated locale as LC_ALL (or similar) – but we don't want to fail
here, we just want to carry on as before with setlocale which we call in
that case just for good measure.

This reduces the number of symbols by about 10%. Unfortunately,
it does not seem to cover all the weird std::vector and friend
template expansions.
ABI should not brake due to that change: It was never specified
before whether an inline symbol was exported or not; so no library
could rely on its presence. Instead, the symbols were exported in
each library/program needing it and and then merged into a common
one by the dynamic linker.
Also update the symbol files to account for the removed symbols.

It is a try as the we need to inspect SUDO_COMMAND which could be
anything – apt, apt-get, in /usr/bin, in a $DPKG_ROOT "chroot", build
from source, aliases, …
The best we can do is look if the SHELL variable is equal to the
SUDO_COMMAND which would mean a shell was invoked. That isn't fail-safe
if different shells are involved as sub-shells have the tendency of not
overriding the SHELL so a bash started from within zsh can happily
pretend to be still zsh, so we could have a look at /etc/shells for a
list, but oh well, we have to stop somewhere I guess.
This sudo-prefixing feature is a gimmick after all.

The std::put_time and std::get_time introduced in
9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 are part of C++11, but not
implemented in GCC until version 5. std::put_time could actually be
worked around via using the facets put() directly, but get() isn't
implemented so that doesn't really help.
We require various tools from wily (which also means we can't build apt
on Debian stable) already, so requiring gcc-5 is just one more instead
of a big step [and an ignoreable change for changelog anyhow].
It also helps in testing what will actually be used (in terms of the
c++11 std ABI) instead of the old ABI.

Broken in e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 by looking always
into "apt" while we ship some tools in "apt-utils"…

We use a wild mixture of C and C++ ways of generating output, so having
a consistent world-view in both styles sounds like a good idea and
should help in preventing regressions.

Using C++ here avoids calling setlocale here which never really was that
ideal, but needed to avoid locale specific weekday/month names.

HTTP/1.1 hardcodes GMT (RFC 7231 §7.1.1.1) and what is good enough for the
internet must be good enough for us™ as we reuse the implementation
internally to parse (most) dates we encounter in various places like the
Release files with their Date and Valid-Until header fields.
Implementing a fully timezone aware parser just feels too hard for no
effective benefit as it would take 5+ years (= until LTS's are out of
fashion) until a repository could use non-UTC dates and expect it to
work. Not counting non-apt implementations which might or might not
only want to encounter UTC here as well.
As a bonus, this eliminates the use of an instance of setlocale in
libapt.

Setting the C++ locale via std::locale::global(std::locale("")); which
would otherwise default to the default C locale (aka: unaffected by
setlocale) effects the formatting of numeric types in IO streams, which
for output for humans is perfectly sensible, but breaks our many text
interfaces used and parsed by us and others without expecting the
numbers to be formatted.

libapt allows to configure compressors to be used by its system via
configuration implemented in 03bef78461c6f443187b60799402624326843396,
but that was never really documented and also only partly working, which
also explains why the tests weren't using it…

The debian/rules file tries to guess in which directory it is supposed
to be building, but that guess is always ./build – if it wasn't it
would fail later as not all rules take alternatives into acount.
So, as this is clearly not used lets remove this complexity instead of
fixing it up.

The embedding is done completely automatic by doxygen and documented to
be that way for reasons: /usr/share/doc/doxygen/README.jquery
As we can't do anything about it, it is pointless to keep the warning.

The code moving in eb1f04dda07c2b69549ad9fd793cca0e91841b3e
moved the acquire stuff above the simulation exit, so before getting
locks (and creating/chmod directories) we should be checking if we
should actually really do it…

No real code change, just moving code around heavily to decouple the
EDSP specific parts from those we can reuse for EDSP-like protocols.
