2015-12-28aptconfiguration: Set default compression level to 6Julian Andres Klode
Since commit 7a68effcb904b4424b54a30e448b6f2560cd1078, the xz and lzma compressors read the level of compression they shall use. A default of -9 is too much for them, this will use 674 MB, according to the xz manual page. Level -6 on the other hand only needs 94 MB memory for compression. This causes autopkgtest failures in the test-compressed-indexes test, as not enough memory exists to proceed. Change the other compression levels to 6 as well: The gzip and bzip2 FileFd backends do not read them, and use their code's default level which is 6, so do the same for external methods.
2015-12-28apt-helper: Use CopyFile() for concatenating the filesJulian Andres Klode
There's no point in keeping using yet another read-then-write loop. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-12-28BufferedWriter: flushing: Check for written < size instead of <=Julian Andres Klode
This avoids some issues with InternalWrite returning 0 because it just cannot write stuff at the moment.

2015-12-27deal with empty values properly in deb822 parserDavid Kalnischkies
Regression introduced in 8710a36a01c0cb1648926792c2ad05185535558e, but such fields are unlikely in practice as it is just as simple to not have a field at all with the same result of not having a value. Closes: 808102
2015-12-27Release 1.1.91.1.9Julian Andres Klode
2015-12-27doc/acquire-additional-files.txt: Mention apt-helper cat-fileJulian Andres Klode
People should know that this is exists.
2015-12-27allow repositories to forbid arch:all for specific index targetsDavid Kalnischkies
Debian has a Packages file for arch:all already, but the arch:any files contain arch:all packages as well, so downloading it would be a total waste of resources. Getting this solved is on the list of things to do, but it is also the hardest part – for index targets like Contents the situation is much easier and less server/client implementations are involved so we might not want to stall them. A repository can now declare via: No-Support-for-Architecture-all: Packages that even if an arch:all Packages exists, it shouldn't be downloaded, so that support for Contents files can be added now. See also 1dd20368486820efb6ef4476ad739e967174bec4 for the implementation of downloading arch:all index targets, which this is limiting. The field uses the name of the target from the apt configuration for simplicity and is negative by design as this field is intended to be supported/needed only for a "short" time (one or two Debian releases). While this commit theoretically supports any target, its expected to only see "Packages" as a value in reality.
2015-12-27pkgcachegen.h: Hack around unordered_map not existing before C++11Julian Andres Klode
This is for public users only, which cannot use the class at all, except for the static methods.
2015-12-27rred: Use buffered writesJulian Andres Klode
Buffered writes improve performance a lot, given that we spent about 78% of the time in _write.
2015-12-27FileFd: Add a buffered writing modeJulian Andres Klode
This is somewhat experimental right now, and might not work for everyone, so it is on an opt-in basis.
2015-12-27FildFd: Introduce a Flush() function and call it from Close()Julian Andres Klode
The flush function can be used for buffered writers.
2015-12-27FileFdPrivate: Add getter and setter for fieldsJulian Andres Klode
We will soon implement a buffered writing decorator and we will need to forward attribute changes to those.
2015-12-27fileutl: simple_buffer: Add write() and full() methodsJulian Andres Klode
These can be used to implement write buffering Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-12-27fileutl: simple_buffer: Mark accessors as constJulian Andres Klode
Suggested by David. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-12-27FileFdPrivate: Extract SimpleBuffer and mark it as hiddenJulian Andres Klode
Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-12-27rred: Only call pkgInitConfig() in test modeJulian Andres Klode
This accidentally slipped in in a previous commit, but it should be used only for testing mode. Reported-By: David Kalnischkies <david@kalnischkies.de>
2015-12-27ParseDepends: Mark branches for build-dep parsing as unlikelyJulian Andres Klode
We do not see those branches at all during normal mode of operation (that is, during cache generation), so tell the compiler about it.
2015-12-27debListParser: Do not validate Description-md5 for correctness twiceJulian Andres Klode
The Set() method returns false if the input is no hex number, so simply use that.
2015-12-27Hex2Digit: Do not use isxdigit()Niels Thykier
We directly check if we are a hex digit in HexDigit, so use that information. [jak@debian.org: Commit message wording]
2015-12-27debListParser: ParseDepends: Only query native arch if neededJulian Andres Klode
This makes the code parsing architecture lists slower, but on the other hand, improves the more generic case of reading dependencies from Packages files.
2015-12-27pkgcachegen: Use std::unordered_map instead of std::mapJulian Andres Klode
std::unordered_map is faster than std::map in our use case, reducing cache generation time by about 10% in my benchmark.
2015-12-27Convert most callers of isspace() to isspace_ascii()Julian Andres Klode
This converts all callers that read machine-generated data, callers that might work with user input are not converted.
2015-12-27Introduce isspace_ascii() for use by parsersJulian Andres Klode
This is like isspace(), but ignores the current locale.
2015-12-26Release 1.1.81.1.8Julian Andres Klode
This release is made for Niels Thykier and apt-file.
2015-12-26apt-helper: Check that we can open stdoutJulian Andres Klode

2015-12-26Refactor InternalReadLine to not unroll Size == 0 caseJulian Andres Klode
There is not much point and this is more readable. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-12-26Change InternalReadLine to always use buffer.read() return valueJulian Andres Klode
This is mostly a documentation issue, as the size we want to read is always less than or equal to the size of the buffer, so the return value will be the same as the size argument. Nonetheless, people wondered about it, and it seems clearer to just always use the return value.
2015-12-26apt-helper: Add a cat-file command for concatening filesJulian Andres Klode
This can automatically handle compressed files and is useful for stuff like apt-file.
2015-12-26Release 1.1.71.1.7Julian Andres Klode
2015-12-26Get rid of memmove() in our read bufferingJulian Andres Klode
This further improves our performance, and rred on uncompressed files now spents 78% of its time in writing. Which means that we should really look at buffering those.
2015-12-26rred: Allow passing files as arguments for compressor testingJulian Andres Klode
This introduces a -t mode in which the first argument is input, the second is output and the remaining are diffs. This allows us to test patching compressed files, which are detected using their file extension.
2015-12-26Use a hardcoded buffer size of 4096 to fix performanceJulian Andres Klode
The code uses memmove() to move parts of the buffer to the front when the buffer is only partially read. By simply reading one page at a time, the maximum size of bytes that must be moved has a hard limit, and performance improves: In one test case, consisting of a 430 MB Contents file, and a 75K PDiff, applying the PDiff previously took about 48 seconds and now completes in 2 seconds. Further speed up can be achieved by buffering writes, they account for about 60% of the run-time now.

2015-12-23fix new[] vs delete mismatch introduced by b3db9d81David Kalnischkies
And as we are at it lets fix the 'style' issue I introduced with the filefd changes as well. Reported-By: gcc -fsanitize's & cppcheck Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-12-23ensure we got a lock in clean operationDavid Kalnischkies
We try to acquired the locks, but we didn't stop if we failed to get it… Closes: 808561
2015-12-23use a dynamic buffer for ReadLineDavid Kalnischkies
We don't need the buffer that often - only for ReadLine - as it is only occasionally used, so it is actually more efficient to allocate it if needed instead of statically by default. It also allows the caller to influence the buffer size instead of hardcoding it. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-12-23implement a buffer system for FileFd::ReadLineDavid Kalnischkies
The default implementation of ReadLine was very naive by just reading each character one-by-one. That is kinda okay for libraries implementing compression as they have internal buffers (but still not great), but while working with files directly or via a pipe as there is no buffer there so all those reads are in fact system calls. This commit introduces an internal buffer in the FileFd implementation which is only used by ReadLine. The more low-level Read and all other actions remain unbuffered – they just changed to deal with potential "left-overs" in the buffer correctly. Closes: 808579
2015-12-22parse xz-compression level from configurationDavid Kalnischkies
If we use the library to compress xz, still try to understand and pick up the arguments we would have used to call xz to figure out which level the user wants us to use instead of defaulting to level 6 (which is the default level of xz).
2015-12-22follow dpkg and xz and use CRC64 for xz compressionDavid Kalnischkies
dpkg switched from CRC32 to CRC64 in 777915108d9d36d022dc4fc4151a615fc95e5032 with the message: | This is the default CRC used by the xz command-line tool, align with | it and switch from CRC32 to CRC64. It should provide slightly better | detection against damaged data, at a negligible speed difference.
2015-12-22shuffle compressor-specific code into private subclassesDavid Kalnischkies
This isn't implementing any new features, it is "just" moving code around from FileFd methods which decided on each call how to handle the request by including all logic for all possible compressor backends in the method body to a model in which backend-specifics are implemented in a FileFdPrivate subclass. This avoids a big chunk of #ifdef's and should make it a tiny bit more obvious which backend uses which code. The execution of the idea is slightly uglified by the need to preserve ABI and API which causes liberal befriending. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-12-19tests: support gpg2 properly in all testcasesDavid Kalnischkies
The output changes slightly between different versions, which we already dealt with in the main testcase for apt-key, but there are two more which do not test both versions explicitly and so still had gpg1 output to check against as this is the default at the moment. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-12-19avoid triggering gpg2 migration in apt-keyDavid Kalnischkies
The presents (even of an empty) secring.gpg is indication enough for gpg2 to tigger the migration code which not only produces a bunch of output on each apt-key call, but also takes a while to complete as an agent needs to be started and all that. We workaround the first part by forcing the migration to happen always in a call we forced into silence, but that leaves us with an agent to start all the time – with a bit of reordering we can make it so that we do not explicitly create the secring, but let gpg create it if needed, which prevents the migration from being triggered and we have at least a bit less of a need for an agent. Changes - even to public only keyrings - still require one, but such actions are infrequent in comparison to verification calls, so that should be a net improvement.
2015-12-19avoid evaluating shell in paths used in apt-keyDavid Kalnischkies
apt-key creates internally a script (since ~1.1) which it will call to avoid dealing with an array of different options in the code itself, but while writing this script it wraps the values in "", which will cause the shell to evaluate its content upon execution. To make 'use' of this either set a absolute gpg command or TMPDIR to something as interesting as: "/tmp/This is fü\$\$ing cràzy, \$(man man | head -n1 | cut -d' ' -f1)\$!" If such paths can be encountered in reality is a different question…
2015-12-19tests: support spaces in path and TMPDIRDavid Kalnischkies
This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to write tests which could run successfully in such environments. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-12-19Do not try to read in FileFd::Read() if Size is 0Julian Andres Klode
There's no point trying to read 0 bytes, so let's just not do this and switch to a while loop like in Write(). Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-12-19Do nothing in FileFd::Write() if Size is 0Julian Andres Klode
Turn the do-while loop into while loops, so it simply does nothing if the Size is already 0. This reverts commit c0b271edc2f6d9e5dea5ac82fbc911f0e3adfa7a which introduced a fix for a specific instance of the issue in the CopyFile() function. Closes: #808381
2015-12-19CopyFile: avoid failing on EOF on some systemsPino Toscano
On EOF, ToRead will be 0, which might trigger on some systems (e.g. on the Hurd) an error due to the invalid byte count passed to write(). The whole loop already checks for ToRead != 0, so perform the writing step only when there was actual data read. Closes: #808381
