2015-09-30Fix select timeout to be 50msec instead of 0.5msecMichael Vogt
Closes: #799857
2015-09-22Use --add-location=file for po/ and doc/poMichael Vogt
This avoids churn in the po/pot files when just the location line number in the source code changes. Git-Dch: ignore
2015-09-15tests: add a -j $jobs mode to test runner for parallel executionDavid Kalnischkies
Now that tests can be run in parallel, lets actually do it… The mode has some downsides like not collecting the failed tests, but it can be a lot faster than a sequential run and is therefore a good alternative in testing those "this shouldn't break anything" changes (which tend to break everything if untested). Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-15tests: don't use hardcoded port for http and httpsDavid Kalnischkies
This allows running tests in parallel. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14fallback to well-known URI if by-hash failsDavid Kalnischkies
We uses a small trick to implement the fallback: We make it so, that by-hash is a special compression algorithm and apt already knows how to deal with fallback between compression algorithms. The drawback with implementing this fallback is that a) we are guessing again and more importantly b) by-hash is only tried for the first compression algorithm we want to acquire, not for all as before – but flipping between by-hash and well-known for each compression algorithm seems to be not really worth it as it seems unlikely that there will actually be mirrors who only mirror a subset of compressioned files, but have by-hash enabled. The user-experience is the usual fallback one: You see "Ign" lines in the apt update output. The fallback is implemented as a transition feature, so a (potentially huge) mirror network doesn't need a flagday. It is not meant as a "someday we might" or "we don't, but some of our mirrors might" option – we want to cut down on the 'Ign' lines front so that they become meaningful – if we wanted to spam everyone with them, we could enable by-hash by default for all repositories… sources.list and config options are better suited for this. Closes: 798919
2015-09-14add by-hash sources.list option and document all of by-hashDavid Kalnischkies
This changes the semantics of the option (which is renamed too) to be a yes/no value with the special additional value "force" as this allows by-hash to be disabled even if the repository indicates it would be supported and is more in line with our other yes/no options like pdiff which disable themselves if no support can be detected. The feature wasn't documented so far and hasn't reached a (un)stable release yet, so changing it without trying too hard to keep compatibility seems okay.
2015-09-14tests: try to support spaces in TMPDIRDavid Kalnischkies
Not all tests work yet, most notable the cdrom tests, but those require changes in libapt itself to have a proper fix and what we have fixed so far is good enough progress for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14deal with spaces in path, command and filepaths in apt-keyDavid Kalnischkies
Filenames we get could include spaces, but also the tmpdir we work in and the failures we print in return a very generic and unhelpful… Properly supporting spaces is a bit painful as we constructed gpg command before, which is now moved to (multilevel) calls to temporary scripts instead.
2015-09-14tests: use SHA1 checksum only by default in testsDavid Kalnischkies
This is mostly a small speedup for the testcases, but it is also handy to document which tests actually deal with a specific hash compared to those which 'just' need some hash which can be important while adding new hashes. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-09-14various changes to increase test-coverageDavid Kalnischkies
And of course, testing obscure things ends up showing obscure 'bugs' or better shortcomings/inconsitencies, so lets fix them with the tests. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14implement apt-get source msg 'Please use: $vcs' for gitDavid Kalnischkies
A bit unfair that only Bzr had this message. Lets at least print it for git as well with the option of adding more later without string changes.

The previous implementation was still a bit unstable in terms of failing at times. Lets try if we have more luck with this one. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-09-14do not report deprecate warnings for the None declarationDavid Kalnischkies
This is defined for compatibility, warning about it is intended, but only in places where it is actually used, rather than at the place we declare it for compatability… Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14move std=c++11 from CXXFLAGS to CXXDavid Kalnischkies
Setting CXXFLAGS like --coverage on the commandline fails if we set the std too late, so if we set it with the compiler name we set it always first. A bit hacky as it bends the expectation, but seems to work. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-09-14tests: use more 'native' instead of 'amd64' if possibleDavid Kalnischkies
The tests usually run on amd64 boxes, but once in a while I run it on a (slow) armel box as well, which has its fair share of problems with some tests, but at least the low hanging fruits can be dealt with: Do not assume that amd64 is the native dpkg architecture – instead use whatever dpkg thinks is native as architecture for the test. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14avoid using global PendingError to avoid failing too often too soonDavid Kalnischkies
Our error reporting is historically grown into some kind of mess. A while ago I implemented stacking for the global error which is used in this commit now to wrap calls to functions which do not report (all) errors via return, so that only failures in those calls cause a failure to propergate down the chain rather than failing if anything (potentially totally unrelated) has failed at some point in the past. This way we can avoid stopping the entire acquire process just because a single source produced an error for example. It also means that after the acquire process the cache is generated – even if the acquire process had failures – as we still have the old good data around we can and should generate a cache for (again). There are probably more instances of this hiding, but all these looked like the easiest to work with and fix with reasonable (aka net-positive) effects.

2015-09-14include debug information in the autoremove-kernels fileDavid Kalnischkies
Figuring out after the fact what went wrong in the kernel hook is kinda hart, also as the bugreports are usually very lacking on the details front. Collecting the internal variables in the debug output we attach to the generated file might help shine some light on the matter. It's at least not going to hurt…
2015-09-14do not discard new manual-bits while applying EDSP solutionsDavid Kalnischkies
In private-install.cc we call MarkInstall with FromUser=true, which sets the bit accordingly, but while applying the EDSP solution we call mark install on all packages with FromUser=false, so MarkInstall believes this install is an automatic one and sets it to auto – so that a new package which is explicitely installed via an external solver is marked as auto and is hence also up for garbage collection in a following call. Ideally MarkInstall wouldn't reset it, but the detection is hard to do without regressing in other cases – and ideally ideally MarkInstall wouldn't deal with the autobit at all – so we work around this on the calling side for now.
2015-09-14implement autobit and pinning in EDSP solver 'apt'David Kalnischkies
The parser creates a preferences as well as an extended states file based on the EDSP scenario file, which isn't the most efficient way of dealing with this as thes text files have to be parsed again by another layer of the code, but it needs the least changes and works good enough for now. The 'apt' solver is in the end just a test solver like dump.
2015-09-14remove incorrect optimization branchesDavid Kalnischkies
These assumptions were once true, but they aren't anymore, so what is supposed to be a speed up is effectively a slowdown [not that it would be noticible]. Usage of SingleArchFindPkg was nuked in a stable update already as the included assumption was actually harmful btw, which is why we should get right of other 'non-harmful' but still untrue assumptions while we can. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14select kernels to protect from autoremove based on Debian versionDavid Kalnischkies
This is basically a rewrite of the script with the general idea of finding the Debian version of the installed kernels – as multiple flavours will have the same Debian version – select the two newest of them and translate them back to versions found in package names. This way we avoid e.g. kernel and kernel-rt to use up the protected slots even through they are basically the same kernel (just a different flavour) so it is likely that if kernel doesn't work for some reason, kernel-rt will not either. This also deals with foreign kernel packages, kernels on hold and partly installed kernels (in case multiple kernels are installed in the same apt run) in a hopefully sensible way. Closes: 787827
2015-09-14copy ReadWrite-error to the bottom to make clang happyDavid Kalnischkies
clang detects that fd isn't set in the ReadWrite case – just that this is supposed to be catched earlier in this method already, but it doesn't hurt to make it explicit here as well and clang is happy, too. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14fix insecure use of /tmp in EDSP solver 'dump'David Kalnischkies
As said in the bugreport, this is hardly a serious problem on a security front, but it was always on the list to have the filename configurable somehow and the stable filename is a problem for parallel executions. Using an environment variable (APT_EDSP_DUMP_FILENAME) for this is more or less the best we can do here as solvers do not get told about our configuration and such. Closes: 795600
2015-09-14implement CopyFile without using FileFd::Size()David Kalnischkies
Pipes and such have no good Size value, but we still want to copy from it maybe and we don't really need size as we can just as well read as long as we get data out of a file to copy it. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14add Source-Version field for EDSPDavid Kalnischkies
The syntax of "Source" is different in EDSP compared to the the field of the same name in 'the rest' of Debian, so documented this accordingly and send the version as a new field.
2015-09-14implement dpkgs vision of interpreting pkg:<arch> dependenciesDavid Kalnischkies
How the Multi-Arch field and pkg:<arch> dependencies interact was discussed at DebConf15 in the "MultiArch BoF". dpkg and apt (among other tools like dose) had a different interpretation in certain scenarios which we resolved by agreeing on dpkg view – and this commit realizes this agreement in code. As was the case so far libapt sticks to the idea of trying to hide MultiArch as much as possible from individual frontends and instead translates it to good old SingleArch. There are certainly situations which can be improved in frontends if they know that MultiArch is upon them, but these are improvements – not necessary changes needed to unbreak a frontend. The implementation idea is simple: If we parse a dependency on foo:amd64 the dependency is formed on a package 'foo:amd64' of arch 'any'. This package is provided by package 'foo' of arch 'amd64', but not by 'foo' of arch 'i386'. Both of those foo packages provide each other through (assuming foo is M-A:foreign) to allow a dependency on 'foo' to be satisfied by either foo of amd64 or i386. Packages can also declare to provide 'foo:amd64' which is translated to providing 'foo:amd64:any' as well. This indirection over provides was chosen as the alternative would be to teach dependency resolvers how to deal with architecture specific dependencies – which violates the design idea of avoiding resolver changes, especially as architecture-specific dependencies are a cornercase with quite a few subtil rules. Handling it all over versioned provides as we already did for M-A in general seems much simpler as it just works for them. This switch to :any has actually a "surprising" benefit as well: Even frontends showing a package name via .Name() [which doesn't show the architecture] will display the "architecture" for dependencies in which it was explicitely requested, while we will not show the 'strange' :any arch in FullName(true) [= pretty-print] either. Before you had to specialcase these and by default you wouldn't get these details shown. The only identifiable disadvantage is that this complicates error reporting and handling. apt-get's ShowBroken has existing problems with virtual packages [it just shows the name without any reason], so that has to be worked on eventually. The other case is that detecting if a package is completely unknown or if it was at least referenced somewhere needs to acount for this "split" – not that it makes a practical difference which error is shown… but its one of the improvements possible.

2015-09-14M-A: allowed pkgs of unconfigured archs do not statisfy :anyDavid Kalnischkies
We parse all architectures we encounter recently, which means we also parse packages from architectures which are neither native nor foreign, but still came onto the system somehow (usually via heavy force).
2015-09-14store ':any' pseudo-packages with 'any' as architectureDavid Kalnischkies
Previously we had python:any:amd64, python:any:i386, … in the cache and the dependencies of an amd64 package would be on python:any:amd64, of an i386 on python:any:i386 and so on. That seems like a relatively pointless endeavor given that they will all be provided by the same packages and therefore also a waste of space. Git-Dch: Ignore
