2018-05-05move special READMEs into doc/ and format as mdDavid Kalnischkies
The formatting is very basic and more should probably be done, but we at least get the files out of the root directory which in case of the various READMEs was confusing salsa which one display as (central) README.

2018-05-04Prevent GTest from flooding us with compiler warningsDavid Kalnischkies
GTest has a bunch of undefined macros which causes the compiler to spit out warnings for each one on each test file. There isn't much we can do, so we just disable the warning for the testcases. Other warnings like sign-promo and sign-compare we can avoid by being more explicit about our expected integer constants being unsigned. As we are just changing testcases, there is no user visible change which would deserve to be noted in the changelog. Gbp-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: gcc-8

2018-04-15Merge branch 'pu/heavy-hooks' into 'master'Julian Andres Klode
json-based hooks for apt cli tools See merge request apt-team/apt!10
2018-04-15Introduce experimental new hooks for command-line toolsJulian Andres Klode
This allows third-party package managers like snap or flatpak to hook in and suggest alternatives if packages could not be found, for example. This is still highly experimental and the protocol might change in future versions.

2018-04-13zstd: Implement support for multi-frame filesJulian Andres Klode
This implements support for multi frame files while keeping error checking for unexpected EOF working correctly. Files with multiple frames are generated by pzstd, for example.
2018-04-13Implement compression level handling for zstdJulian Andres Klode
This is a simplified variant of the code for xz, adapted to support multiple digit integers.
2018-04-13apt-private: Collect not found packages in CacheSetHelperAPTGetJulian Andres Klode
Collecting the packages we could not find allows us to pass them to other places.

2018-04-07set our two libapt libraries to prio:optionalDavid Kalnischkies
The override file already implements this, so we just adapt to reality. Reported-By: lintian excessive-priority-for-library-package

Whatever caused it, lets fix it.

2018-03-23CI: Switch testing to use ubuntu:bionic for 1.6.yJulian Andres Klode
1.6.y is bionic's release series, it should be tested in it.
2018-03-19Bump cache major version to allow different 1.5 and 1.6 updatesJulian Andres Klode
Shipping 1.6 with major 12 would not allow us to update 1.5.y in a different way than 1.6.y if we have to without resorting to minor version hacks. Let's just bump the major instead.
2018-03-15Use https for Ubuntu changelogsJulian Andres Klode
We just enabled https on changelogs.ubuntu.com, let's use it.

2018-03-12apt-inst: Add support for zstd compressed debsJulian Andres Klode
Whitelist support for zst members.
2018-03-12apt-pkg: Add support for zstdJulian Andres Klode
zstd is a compression algorithm developed by facebook. At level 19, it is about 6% worse in size than xz -6, but decompression is multiple times faster, saving about 40% install time, especially with eatmydata on cloud instances.

Check that Date of Release file is not in the future See merge request apt-team/apt!3
2018-02-19Check that Date of Release file is not in the futureJulian Andres Klode
By restricting the Date field to be in the past, an attacker cannot just create a repository from the future that would be accepted as a valid update for a repository. This check can be disabled by Acquire::Check-Date set to false. This will also disable Check-Valid-Until and any future date related checking, if any - the option means: "my computers date cannot be trusted." Modify the tests to allow repositories to be up to 10 hours in the future, so we can keep using hours there to simulate time changes.
2018-02-19tests: install aptitude for test-method-mirrorDavid Kalnischkies
This is an optional dependency for the test, but the skipping of the test is very noisy and checking that an unchanged aptitude isn't downright exploding with our libapt isn't a bad idea either. Gbp-Dch: Ignore

2018-02-19ensure correct file permissions for auxfilesDavid Kalnischkies
The interesting takeaway here is perhaps that 'chmod +w' is effected by the umask – obvious in hindsight of course. The usual setup helps with hiding that applying that recursively on all directories (and files) isn't correct. Ensuring files will not be stored with the wrong permissions even if in strange umask contexts is trivial in comparison. Fixing the test also highlighted that it wasn't bulletproof as apt will automatically fix the permissions of the directories it works with, so for this test we actually need to introduce a shortcut in the code. Reported-By: Ubuntu autopkgtest CI
2018-02-19tests: set debhelper compat 10 and R³ by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
The testpackages hardly need debhelper at all, so any version would do, and they build without root rights by definition, but declaring it explicitly can't hurt and in the case of debhelper it would be sad if our testcases break one day because the old compat level is removed. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2018-02-19restore gcc visibility=hidden for apt-privateDavid Kalnischkies
This setting was lost in the transition to cmake. The private library has no public users and hence the default visibility of symbols changed early to hidden – something which should eventually be done for the public libraries as well, but one step at the time.
2018-02-19use a more standard approach to disable security for cdrom methodDavid Kalnischkies
It is sad that we can't wrap the cdrom method tighter at the moment, but due to its ability to mount drives into arbitrary places via an external suid binary we can't really do a lot better at the moment. What we can do is set the options in the configuration space through as it is standard in the other methods instead of doing it in main() which is assumed to be more boilerplatey than actually doing something. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2018-02-19add apt-helper drop-privs command…David Kalnischkies
2018-02-19Work around test-method-mirror failure by setting umask at startJulian Andres Klode
This fixes a test failure on autopkgtest.
2018-02-19indexcopy: Copy uncompressed indices from cdrom againJulian Andres Klode
This was broken by a refactoring in 1adcf56bec7d2127d83aa423916639740fe8e586 which iterated over getCompressorExtensions() instead of the compressors and using their extension field. getCompressorExtensions() does not contain the empty extension for uncompressed files, though, and hence this was broken.
