2017-04-24systemd: Rework timing and add After=network-onlineJulian Andres Klode
The timeout values were so large that the timer could run at any random time of the day, possibly easily interfering with business hours, and causing trouble. Reduce them to 30 minutes of random delay and an accuracy to the default value (1 minute). Also drop the 18:00 event. People still actively use their device during that time, and for servers, there might be less attendance than in the regular 06:00 time slot, so longer time to fix things if something breaks. During a boot, the service might be run to catch up with a timer that would have normally elapsed. Due to no dependencies, it would have run before the network is online - that's bad. Adding an After and a Wants fixes that for boots, but still leaves the same issue for Resume. LP: #1615482

2017-03-19Ignore AutomaticRemove conffile option in upgradeDavid Kalnischkies
We are in a dilemma here: The regression of sorts was introduced in 2013 with commit d8a8f9d7f0 allowing pkg modifiers for the upgrade commands. That calls the autoremover as a sideeffect through and with it comes the option to remove the garbage packages in these commands (similar to aptitude). Having the option on the commandline is no problem – people aren't going to request what they don't want (or so I hope), but the documentation explicitly states that this option only effects install/remove and mentions a config knob users might use and expect to not suddenly apply (especially without documentation) to more commands. Just reverting the commit is out of question, completely ignoring the option breaks the workflow of every user who happened to use --autoremove on the commandline for upgrade and expects that to work given that it was accepted and worked in a stable release. Changing the documentation to reflect reality while perhaps the simplest and cleanest option contradicts freeze and is a surprising change we tend to avoid like the plague while just leaving it be confuses all users who end up believing the documentation even if was different in the last 3 years. So what we do is a tricky compromise: The configuration option if read from a file does apply only for install/remove as documented, while if the option is encountered on the commandline it is accepted and applies to the upgrade which should make 99% of the users happy. The rest has to wait for us to figure out for buster how to get that documented and implemented in a saner way. Closes: #855891
2017-03-19Fix and avoid quoting in CommandLine::AsStringDavid Kalnischkies
In the intended usecase where this serves as a hack there is no problem with double/single quotes being present as we write it to a log file only, but nowadays our calling of apt-key produces a temporary config file containing this "setting" as well and suddently quoting is important as the config file syntax is allergic to it. So the fix is to ignore all quoting whatsoever in the input and just quote (with singles) the option values with spaces. That gives us 99% of the time the correct result and the 1% where the quote is an integral element of the option … doesn't exist – or has bigger problems than a log file not containing the quote. Same goes for newlines in values. LP: #1672710

2017-03-13auto-removal: Ignore running kernel if attempting a reproducible buildChris Lamb
If one is attempting to create a reproducible ISO image we do not want to include the build system's kernel version, not only due to it breaking reproducibility, but it could be somewhat misleading and/or the wrong thing to put in this file anyway. Closes: #857632

2017-02-12debian: Generate debian/copyright during cleanJulian Andres Klode
Ubuntu servers / Launchpad rejects uploads where debian/copyright is a symbolic link, and lintian warns about them. I think that's crazy, but I'm tired of having to work around this in SRUs, so let's just solve it by copying the file during clean: This way, it won't be in git, but it will be generated during the export by git-buildpackage.
2017-02-12CMake: Install statvfs.h to include/sys, not just include/Julian Andres Klode
We are including sys/statvfs.h, not statvfs.h, so make sure our dummy in the correct spot.
2017-02-11Don't use -1 fd and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW for faccessat()Julian Andres Klode
-1 is not an allowed value for the file descriptor, the only allowed non-file-descriptor value is AT_FDCWD. So use that instead. AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW has a weird semantic: It checks whether we have the specified access on the symbolic link. It also is implemented only by glibc on Linux, so it's inherently non-portable. We should just drop it. Thanks: James Clarke for debugging these issues Reported-by: James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com>
2017-02-10shippable: Perform CI on Debian stretch instead of Ubuntu xenialJulian Andres Klode
2017-02-10Do not package names representing .dsc/.deb/... filesJulian Andres Klode
In the case of build-dep and other commands where a file can be passed we must make sure not to normalize the path name as that can have odd side effects, or well, cause the operation to do nothing. Test for build-dep-file is adjusted to perform the vcard check once as "vcard" and once as "VCard", thus testing that this solves the reported bug. We inline the std::transform() and optimize it a bit to not write anything in the common case (package names are defined to be lowercase, the whole transformation is just for names that should not exist...) to counter the performance hit of the added find() call (it's about 0.15% more instructions than with the existing transform, but we save about 0.67% in writes...). Closes: #854794

2017-01-28Only merge acquire items with the same meta keyJulian Andres Klode
Since the introduction of by-hash, two differently named files might have the same real URL. In our case, the files icons-64x64.tar.gz and icons-128x128.tar.gz of empty tarballs. APT would try to merge them and end with weird errors because it completed the first download and enters the second stage for decompressing and verifying. After that it would queue a new item to copy the original file to the location, but that copy item would be in the wrong stage, causing it to use the hashes for the decompressed item. Closes: #838441

2017-01-27avoid malloc if option whitelist is disabled (default)David Kalnischkies
Config options are checked in various paths, so making "useless" memory allocations wastes time and can also cause problems like #852757. The unneeded malloc was added in ae73a2944a89e0d2406a2aab4a4c082e1e9da3f9. (We have no explicit malloc here – its std:string doing this internally)

2017-01-24test suite: Do not exit 0 in trap for QUITJulian Andres Klode
This hides errors in the test suite because it will exit with 0 here. Instead, just do exit 1 in most traps, and do just the cleanup in the QUIT hook. This fixes a regression introduced with the caching of the GPG home directory in 4ce2f35248123ff2366c8c365ad6a94945578d66.
2017-01-24travis: Run test suites for root and user in separate build jobsJulian Andres Klode
This hopefully cuts down on the test time. Optimally, we'd just have one build job and parallize, but that requires a tty or something, probably due to GNU parallel? Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-01-24basehttp: Only read Content-Range on 416 and 206 responsesJulian Andres Klode
This fixes issues with sourceforge where the redirector includes such a Content-Range in a 302 redirect. Since we do not really know what file is meant in a redirect, let's just ignore it for all responses other than 416 and 206. Maybe we should also get rid of the other errors, and just ignore the field in those cases as well? LP: #1657567

2017-01-19make the moo reproducibleDavid Kalnischkies
Normal cows moo every time they feel like it and it might be a "moo", "moo!" or "moo?". This is completely unacceptable behaviour in our super cow through as as a superior being it has to show its superiority over the common cows and the meager easter eggs by being fully reproducible! The second version of Chris' patch is modified to include an array of tests for this feature – which doubles as explanation for some of the moo lines by giving more exact dates – and falling back to current time if the environment is invalid + passing time around instead of having an invalid environment be an unrecoverable error (aka: Guru Meditation) as that is more inline with how apt usually behaves: The wisdom of super cow should be available to everyone, even to the most misfortune users not capable of having a valid environment variable. That makes the code slightly more ugly, so instead of requiring a young follower to produce a third version a high priest of the cult applied the finishing touches as he is used to the pain by now – and another round with the slowpoke high priest would have been a serious threat to the Debian release schedule which the cow would not approve. Closes: #848721 Signed-off-by: Super Cow Thanks: Chris Lamb for initial patch and guru meditation
2017-01-19stop rred from leaking debug messages on recovered errorsDavid Kalnischkies
rred can fail for a plentory of reasons, but its failure is usually recoverable (Ign lines) so it shouldn't leak unrequested debug messages to an observing user. Closes: #850759
2017-01-19remove 'old' FAILED files in the next acquire callDavid Kalnischkies
If apt renames a file to .FAILED it leaves its namespace and is never touched again – expect since 1.1~exp4 in which "apt clean" will remove those files. The usefulness of these files rapidly degrades if you don't keep the update log itself (together with debug output in the best case) through and on 99% of all system they will be kept around forever just to collect dust over time and eat up space. With this commit an update call will remove all FAILED files of previous runs, so that the FAILED files you have on disk are always only the ones related to the last apt run stopping apt from hoarding files. Closes: 846476
2017-01-19fix 'install --no-download' modeDavid Kalnischkies
The mode wasn't working at all if not used together with --fix-missing which while likely to come in pairs its legal to use standalone. Regression-in: eb1f04dda07c2b69549ad9fd793cca0e91841b3e
2017-01-19avoid validate/delete/load race in cache generationDavid Kalnischkies
Keeping the Fd of the cache file we have validated around to later load it into the mmap ensures not only that we load the same file (which wouldn't really be a problem in practice), but that this file also still exists and wasn't deleted e.g. by a 'apt clean' call run in parallel.
2017-01-19don't lock dpkg in update commandsDavid Kalnischkies
The update command acquires a lock on lists/, but at the end it will also require the dpkg/lock while building the binary caches. That seems rather pointless as we are only reading those files, not causing writing in them. This can also cause problems if a package installation is running and a background process (like cron) starts an update: If you are "lucky" enough the update process will pick the dpkg lock in between apt calls causing the installation process to fail.
2017-01-19don't lock dpkg in 'apt-get clean'David Kalnischkies
We get the archives/lock for clean – that is enough to ensure that other apt instances aren't interfering (or are being interfered with). We don't need to block actions involving dpkg.
2017-01-19don't show update stats if cache generation is disabledDavid Kalnischkies
Unlikely that anyone is actually running into this, but if we asked to not generate a cache and avoid it in the first step we shouldn't create one implicitly anyway by displaying the statistics.

2017-01-17https: Quote path in URL before passing it to curlJulian Andres Klode
Curl requires URLs to be urlencoded. We are however giving it undecoded URLs. This causes it go completely nuts if there is a space in the URI, producing requests like: GET /a file HTTP/1.1 which the servers then interpret as a GET request for "/a" with HTTP version "file" or some other non-sense. This works around the issue by encoding the path component of the URL. I'm not sure if we should encode other parts of the URL as well, this one seems to do the trick for the actual issue at hand. A more correct fix is to avoid the dequoting and (re-)quoting of URLs when a redirect occurs / a new request is sent. That's been on the radar for probably a year or two now, but nobody bothered implementing that yet. LP: #1651923
2017-01-17CMake: Find the Perl executable, and use it to run perl scriptsJulian Andres Klode
