2014-09-27add a (hidden) --quiet option for apt-keyDavid Kalnischkies
2014-09-27rename postrm to apt.postrmDavid Kalnischkies
It helps in identifying its affiliation. Also removes the old postinst which was hidden by apt.postinst for a long time now and would just install a sources.list in edgecases which is probably not a good idea (e.g. on my system /etc/apt/sources.list does not exist). It is better done by the installer of the distro. Git-Dch: Ignore

2014-09-27add an API for cache filters/matcherDavid Kalnischkies
A lot of code deals with iterating over packages and checking for specific states. At the moment these are all handcrafted inplace, but that makes sharing common code which just differs in the states it checks rather difficult and is error prune. Having an API to construct arbitrary complex filters will come in handy for those. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27move PCI::From* methods into CacheSetHelper classDavid Kalnischkies
The methods itself deal with the helper a lot, so it makes sense to move them to the helper itself, which helps also if we want to override some of these methods, the FromString mentioned in the bugreport being the obvious example. VCI is spared from this change for now as while it would fit with the same reasoning it much heavier entangled with the previous CacheSetHelper change, so moving it now would mean breaking the API. The PCI change is worthwhile on its own though as it is used by VCI. Closes: 686221
2014-09-27adapt to the new CacheSetHelper APIDavid Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27rework cachesets API to allow future extensionDavid Kalnischkies
The introduction of Fnmatch showed that each new selector would require multiple new virtual methods in the CacheSetHelper to work correctly, which isn't that great. We now flip to a single virtual method which handles all cases separated by an enum – as new enum values can be added without an ABI break. Great care was taken to make old code work with the new way of organisation, which means in return that you might be bombarded with deprecation warnings now if you don't adapt, but code should still compile and work as before as can be seen in apt itself with this commit.

2014-09-27mark pkg(All|Dist)Upgrade as deprecatedDavid Kalnischkies
The comment above their definition marks them already as such, so this is only a formalisation of the deprecation and fixes the occurances we have in our own code together with removing a magic number. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27fix progress output for (dist-)upgrade calculationDavid Kalnischkies
Previously, we had a start and a done of the calculation printed by higher-level code, but this got intermixed by progress reporting from an external solver or the output of autoremove code… The higherlevel code is now only responsible for instantiating a progress object of its choosing (if it wants progress after all) and the rest will be handled by the upgrade code. Either it is used to show the progress of the external solver or the internal solver will give some hints about its overall progress. The later isn't really a proper progress as it will jump forward after each substep, but that is at least a bit better than before without any progress indication. Fixes also the 'strange' non-display of this progress line in -q=1, while all others are shown, which is reflected by all testcase changes.
2014-09-27de-duplicate version strings in the cacheDavid Kalnischkies
Turns out that version numbers aren't as random as you might guess. In my cache for example, I have: Total package names: 69513 (1390 k) Total package structures: 188259 (9036 k) Total distinct versions: 186345 (13.4 M) Total dependencies: 2052242 (57.5 M) which amounts to 1035873 (10,1 M) strings. Reusing version strings reduces this to 161465 (3.479 k). This comes at a cost of course: Generation is slightly slower, but we are still faster than what we started with and it makes room (also cache size wise) for further changes.
2014-09-27drop stored StringItems in favor of in-memory mappingsDavid Kalnischkies
Strings like Section names or architectures are needed vary often. Instead of writing them each time we need them, we deploy sharing for these special strings. Until now, this was done with a linked list of strings in which we would search, which was stored in the cache. It turns out we can do this just as well in memory as well with a bunch of std::map's. In memory means here that it isn't available anymore if we have a partly invalid cache, but that isn't much of a problem in practice as the status file is compared to the other files we parse very small and includes mostly duplicates, so the space we would gain by storing is more or less equal to the size of the stored linked list…
2014-09-27count strings more accurately for statsDavid Kalnischkies
So far, only the few strings stored in stringitems were counted, but many more strings are directly inserted into the cache. We account for this now by identifying all these different strings and measure their length. We are still not at the correct size of the cache in 'stats' this way, but we are now again a bit closer. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27packages in the cache are sorted by name so noise-freeDavid Kalnischkies
Commit aa0fe657e46b87cc692895a36df12e8b74bb27bb sorts the package names in the hashtable. We make use of this already in these functions, but as a minor sideeffect it also means that we don't have 'noise' anymore between packages belonging to the same group. We therefore don't need to check for a matching name in Grp.FindPkg anymore. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27search for pkg names in the cache case-sensitiveDavid Kalnischkies
Package names have to be lowercase (debian-policy §5.6.1) and in as lowlevel as these method are it would be quiet strange to treat an invalid package "suddently" as a valid one which other tools might or might not accept. If case-insensitivity is really needed the frontend should ensure this rather than these methods waste cpu cycles by default. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27deprecate Pkg->Name in favor of Grp->NameDavid Kalnischkies
They both store the same information, so this field just takes up space in the Package struct for no good reason. We mark it "just" as deprecated instead of instantly removing it though as it isn't misleading like Section was and is potentially used in the wild more often.

2014-09-25Remove check for "Translation-" from pkgAcqIndex::Custom600Headers()Michael Vogt
This unneeded because pkgAcqIndexTrans has its own Custom600Headers() method.
2014-09-25Revert making pkgAcquire::Item::DescURI() "const"Michael Vogt
Revert because its a API change and the gain does not justify the extra work to make the required changes in the consumers of this interface at this point.

2014-09-21Ensure that iTFRewritePackageOrder is "MD5sum" to match apt-ftparchiveMichael Vogt
The iTFRewritePackageOrder is used in indexcopy to copy and normalize cdrom Packages files. This change will ensure that there is no "normalization" that changes MD5sum -> MD5Sum which alters the hash of the Packages file on disk (oh the irony).
2014-09-21Fix regression for cdrom: sources from latest security updateMichael Vogt
Skip a reverify for cdrom: sources. The reverify step is actually harmful here because the apt-cdrom add code uses the indexcopy.cc which will "normalize" the Packages file from the cdrom when it writes it to the local disk. This leads to changing the "MD5sum" field (notice the lower case "s") on the cdrom Packages file to a "MD5Sum" field on the local file in /var/lib/apt/lists. Which of course alters the hash and makes apt fail to reverify the file.

2014-09-19Fix regression when copy: is used for a relative pathMichael Vogt
When we do a ReverifyAfterIMS() we use the copy: method to verify the hashes again. If the user uses -o Dir=./something/relative this fails because we use the URI class in copy.cc that strips away the leading relative part. By not using URI this is fixed. Closes: #762160
