We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing
518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and
netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer
exists making the feature even more arcane.
On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style)
and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit
strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first.
We now do a single pass over the stanzas.
In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not
really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to
document and more usual for an apt user.

This makes the code easier to read.

Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some
common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel,
but should match any-arm.
With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are
both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11).
There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for
historical and API reasons:
* The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact
it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style
wildcard matching on the commandline.
* The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example
the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm-
is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard
ending in a minus.
* Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets
- by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any"
if there is a wildcard component.
Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch()
expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a
tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way.
This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all
things it should accept.
Closes: #748936

This is needed on BSD where root's default group is wheel, not
root.

This allows other vendors to use different paths, or to build
your own APT in /opt for testing. Note that this uses + 1 in
some places, as the paths we receive are absolute, but we need
to strip of the initial /.

This was dropped in autotools as I found no use of the HAVE_PTSNAME_R
macro. Turns out it was typoed as HAVE_PTS_NAME_R. Fix the #ifdef and
add checks to CMake for it.

This is needed in a lot of places. Also adjust config.h.in to use
it instead of the bare email address.

Introduce an initial CMake buildsystem. This build system can build
a fully working apt system without translation or documentation.
The FindBerkelyDB module is from kdelibs, with some small adjustements
to also look in db5 directories.
Initial work on this CMake build system started in 2009, and was
resumed in August 2016.
