2015-09-14use std-algorithms instead of manual loops to avoid overflow warningDavid Kalnischkies
Reported-By: gcc Understandable: no 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.

Git-Dch: Ignore
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

2015-09-07Set APT::FTPArchive::DoByHash to false by defaultMichael Vogt
"apt-ftparchive release" will create the by-hash files if this mode is enabled. This maybe unexpected by existing users so make it a opt-in. Git-Dch: ignore

2015-09-04Add support for writing by-hash dirs in apt-ftparchiveMichael Vogt
This option is enabled via the APT::FTPArchive::DoByHash switch. It will also honor the option APT::FTPArchive::By-Hash-Keep that controls how many previous generation of by-hash files should be kept (defaults to 3). Merged from https://github.com/mvo5/apt/tree/feature/apt-ftparchive-by-hash

2015-09-01use clock() as source for SRV randomnessDavid Kalnischkies
Initializing a random number generator with the time since epoch could be good enough, but reaches its limits in test code as the 100 iterations might very well happen in the same second and hence the seed number is always the same… clock() has a way lower resolution so it changes more often and not unimportant: If many users start the update at the same time it isn't to unlikely the SRV record will be ordered in the same second choosing the same for them all, but it seems less likely that the exact same clock() time has passed for them. And if I have to touch this, lets change a few other things as well to make me and/or compilers a bit happier (clang complained about the usage of a GNU extension in the testcase for example).
2015-09-01use unusable-for-security hashes for integrity checksDavid Kalnischkies
We want to declare some hashes as not enough for security, so that a user will need --allow-unauthenticated or similar to get data secured only by those hashes, but we can still us these hashes for integrity checks if we got them.
2015-09-01Consider md5sum no longer a usable hashMichael Vogt
The md5sum hash is broken since some time and we should no longer consider it a usable hash. Also update the tests to reflect this.

Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-31test: show the highlevel test for lowerranking onesDavid Kalnischkies
testsuccess checks the return code, but it does also some autotests based on the command like grepping for dpkg warnings in a apt-get install call – but if this finds something it is just showing the grep command. With this change it will additionally show the first msgtest which in this case will detail the actual apt-get install call. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-31tests: store msgtest in -q mode for display in msgfailDavid Kalnischkies
Not-quiet output is very verbose and with our growing array of tests generates many many lines which e.g. kills the log display in travis-ci and obscures failures and uncatched output in a wall of details. The -q mode fixed this by callapsing passed tests to a single P and now with some rework we can even get failures properly displayed with the message from msgtest. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-08-31do delay the test for http, too, to make it more reliableDavid Kalnischkies
The file method was already slowed down and somehow I thought I had done the same for http, but it turns out that I didn't. Giving it the same delay as file should help in making this test slower and therefore more likely to successfully test what it is supposed to test. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-08-31if file is inaccessible for _apt, disable privilege drop in acquireDavid Kalnischkies
We had a very similar method previously for our own private usage, but with some generalisation we can move this check into the acquire system proper so that all frontends profit from this compatibility change. As we are disabling a security feature here a warning is issued and frontends are advised to consider reworking their download logic if possible. Note that this is implemented as an all or nothing situation: We can't just (not) drop privileges for a subset of the files in a fetcher, so in case you have to download some files with and some without you need to use two fetchers.
2015-08-31ignore for _apt inaccessible TMPDIR in pkgAcqChangelogDavid Kalnischkies
Using libpam-tmpdir caused us to create our download tmp directory in root's private tmp before changing to _apt, which wouldn't have access to it. By extending our GetTempDir method with an optional wrapper changing the effective user, we can test if a given user can access the directory and ignore TMPDIR if not instead of ignoring TMPDIR completely. Closes: 797270
2015-08-30detect and deal with indextarget duplicatesDavid Kalnischkies
Multiple targets downloading the same file is bad™ as it leads us to all sorts of problems like the acquire system breaking or simply a problem of which settings to use for them. Beside that this is most likely a mistake and silently ignoring it doesn't help the user realizing his mistake… On the other hand, we have 'duplicates' which are 'created' by how we create indextargets, so we have to prevent those from being created to but do not emit a warning for them as this is an implementation detail. And then, there is the absolute and most likely user mistake: Having the same target(s) activated in multiple entries.
