Less hardcoding should help while introducing new compressors.
Git-Dch: Ignore
|
|
There is no reason to enforce that the file we start the bootstrap with
is compressed with a compressor which is available online. This allows
us to change the on-disk format as well as deals with repositories
adding/removing support for a specific compressor.
|
|
If we store files compressed in lists/ and the file switched compression
formats we happened to retain the "old" format, but by default the
cleanup process catched this oversight and removed the file.
[The initial situation described doesn't arise as we store no files by
default compressed and even with apt-file configuring Contents files, we
don't really have that problem as there is just .gz files for those.]
We solve this by just removing any uncompressed as well as compressed
(we support) file just before we move the 'new' version of the file in.
|
|
Adding a new compressor method meant adding a new method as well – even
if that boilt down to just linking to our generalized decompressor with
a new name. That is unneeded busywork if we can instead just call the
generalized decompressor and let it figure out which compressor to use
based on the filenames rather than by program name.
For compatibility we ship still 'gzip', 'bzip2' and co, but they are
just links to our "new" 'store' method.
|
|
Having a hardcoded list of compression types here doesn't really provide
us with anything beside added complexity each time someone adds a new
compression type. That we don't need to be that specific is evident by
Contents and Translation-* matchers which are a lot more generic and
didn't generate problems anyhow.

Do not create strings within the loop, that creates one string
per language and does more work than needed. Instead, reserve
enough space at the beginning and assign the prefix, and then
resize and append inside the loop.
Also call exists with the string itself instead of the c_str(),
this means that the lookup uses the size information in the
string now and does not have to call strlen() on it.
|
|
It makes no sense to check if the value is empty, as it cannot
be. It will always be a hexstring of exactly 32 bytes.
|
|
Use the same path for both comparisons, as the operator== path
is faster than just calling compare() - it avoids any comparison
if the size differs.

Instead of storing a string -> map_stringitem_t mapping, create
our own data type that can point to either a normal string or
a string inside the cache.
This avoids the creation of any string and improves performance
slightly (about 4%).
|
|
This improves performance, as we now can ignore unequal strings
based on their length already.

This removes some minor overhead.

Moving the string is likely faster than copying it. We could probably
avoid strings alltogether in the future using some more crazy code,
but I have not looked at that yet.

This improves performance of the cache generation on my
ARM platform (4x Cortex A15) by about 10% to 20% from
2.35-2.50 to 2.1 seconds.

The class APT::StringView implements a drop-in replacement
for a subset of C++17 std::string_view() features. It will
be dropped at a later point and may not be used in public
interfaces.
|
|
Remove the SingleInstance flag so we can use the new randomized
queue feature to run parallel.
|
|
The maximum parallelization soft limit is the number of CPU
cores * 2 on systems defining _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN. The hard
limit in all cases is Acquire::QueueHost::Limit.
|
|
This is a multiple of the page size and thus results in less
page faults, speeding up copying.
Also, while we're at at, unify all uses of that size in a
constant variable APT_BUFFER_SIZE.
|
|
This allows passing compressing the output. The compressor must
be a compressor name, extension, or an extension without the
leading dot.

Implement native support for LZ4 compression, using the official
lz4 library.

The PopFromSrvRecs() already removed the entry from the active
list, so the extra SrvRecords.erase() was incorrect.

This drop the hash table utilization from a high 98%
to acceptable 74% on unstable, and the average bucket length
from 4.6 to 1.8.
This improves performance by about 5%, while increasing
the size of the cache by 0.2 out of 38MB, that is 0.5%.
48481 is a nice number

It does not make sense to consider empty buckets in the
average, as they do not affect the lookup performance.

I'd like to avoid pulling libgtest-dev into the bootstrap set.
Fortunately, libgtest-dev is only used for testing apt and apt
correctly implements DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck now. So this
bug is about getting rid of the Build-Depends.
Simply removing it (by adding a build profile) is not sufficient
however as configure fails hard, so an additional bit is necessary
to cover for that.
Closes: #809726

This will give us the freedom to insert more compressors at
positions in between.
Also change the cost of uncompressed to 0, as that really has
no overhead, and the values do not really mean much.
|
|
This makes code easier to read, and somewhat more correct.

This aids our introduction of lz4, which we do not want to impose
as an additional requirement for bootstrappers.

This option controls if downloaded packages should be kept after
a successful install or if they should be deleted. The default
for "apt-get" is that they are kept (just like before).
However the default for "apt" is that they get deleted.
Closes: #160743

The apt bash-completion support was submited to the bash-completion
package as a patch in May 2014. It is still not included to this
date and because it is an important feature for many users it is
now part of apt until the bash-completion package is mantained
more actively again.
Note that the "Relaces" line is only required for Ubuntu it will
have no effect on Debian.
Closes: #747094

In order to allow regular cleaning of the downloaded deb archives
the new option APT::Periodic::CleanInterval is added. It will run
"apt-get clean" in the given time interval.

apt_preferences and deb822-style sources used the specialized class
pkgUserTagSection to deal with comments before/after a given stanza, but
it couldn't deal with comments in the stanza at all.
codesearch suggests that nobody else does and a vastely superior way of
working with potentially commented files is implemented now, so we can
officially discourage the use of the old incomplete hack class.
|
|
Now (55153bf94ff28a23318e79aa48242244c4d82b3c) that pkgTagFile can be
told to deal with all sorts of comments we can use this mode to parse
dsc (as by catch) and debian/control files properly even in the wake of
multiline fields spliced with comments like Build-Depends.
Closes: 806775

APT usually deals with perfectly formatted files generated automatically
be other programs – and as it has to parse multiple MBs of such files it
tries to be fast rather than forgiving.
This was always a problem if we reused this parser for files with a
deb822 syntax which are mostly written by hand however, like
apt_preferences or the deb822-style sources as these can include stray
newlines and more importantly comments all over the place.
As a stopgap we had pkgUserTagSection which deals at least with comments
before and after a given stanza, but comments in between weren't really
supported and now that we support parsing debian/control for e.g.
build-dep we face the full comment problem e.g. with comments inbetween
multi-line fields (like Build-Depends).
We can't easily deal with this on the pkgTagSection level as the interface
gives access to 'raw' char-pointers for performance reasons so we would
need to optionally add a buffer here on which we could remove comments
to hand out pointers into this buffer instead. The interface is quite
large already and supports writing stanzas as well, which does not
support comments at all either. So while in future it might make sense
to have a parser setup which deals with and keeps comments in this
commit we opt for the simpler solution for now: We officially declare
that pkgTagSection does not support comments and instead expect the
caller to deal with them, which in our case is pkgTagFile:
pkgTagFile is extended with an additional mode which can deal with
comments by dropping them from the buffer which will later form the
input of pkgTagSection. The actual implementation is slightly more
complex than this sentence suggests at first on one hand to have good
performance and on the other to allow jumping directly to stanzas with
offsets collected in a previous run (like our cache generation does it
for example).

Integrity is taken care of by the checksum now.

If we already have opened a cache, there is no point in having
to open it again.
|

We ignored the boundary of the buffer we were reading in
while scanning for spaces.
