2017-09-13don't ask an uninit _system for supported archsDavid Kalnischkies
A libapt user who hasn't initialized _system likely has a reason, so we shouldn't greet back with a segfault usually deep down in the callstack for no reason. If the user had intended to pick up information from the system, _system wouldn't be uninitialized after all. LP: #1613184 SRU: 1.4.y (cherry picked from commit cba5c5a26a9bf00724f8ea647ac61b30e32734ba)

2016-07-05don't add default compressors two times if disabledDavid Kalnischkies
This is in so far pointless as the first match will deal with the extension, so we don't actually ever use these second instances – probably for the better as most need arguments to behave as epected & more importantly: the point of the exercise disabling their use for testing proposes. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-06-14don't use FindFile for external Dir::Bin commandsDavid Kalnischkies
We usually use absolute paths to specific the location of dpkg, apt-key and the like, but there is nothing wrong with using just the command name and instead let exec(3) make the lookup in PATH. We had a wild mixture before, so opting for the more accepting option out of the two seems about right especially as it makes no difference in the default case as apt uses absolute paths.
2016-05-27fix and document on the fly compressor configDavid Kalnischkies
libapt allows to configure compressors to be used by its system via configuration implemented in 03bef78461c6f443187b60799402624326843396, but that was never really documented and also only partly working, which also explains why the tests weren't using it…
2016-01-08keep compressed indexes in a low-cost formatDavid Kalnischkies
Downloading and storing are two different operations were different compression types can be preferred. For downloading we provide the choice via Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order as there is a choice to be made between download size and speed – and limited by whats available in the repository. Storage on the other hand has all compressions currently supported by apt available and to reduce runtime of tools accessing these files the compression type should be a low-cost format in terms of decompression. apt traditionally stores its indexes uncompressed on disk, but has options to keep them compressed. Now that apt downloads additional files we also deal with files which simply can't be stored uncompressed as they are just too big (like Contents for apt-file). Traditionally they are downloaded in a low-cost format (gz) as repositories do not provide other formats, but there might be even lower-cost formats and for download we could introduce higher-cost in the repositories. Downloading an entire index potentially requires recompression to another format, so an update takes potentially longer – but big files are usually updated via pdiffs which has to de- and re-compress anyhow and does it on the fly anyhow, so there is no extra time needed and in general it seems to be benefitial to invest the time in update to save time later on file access.
2016-01-07FileFd: (native) LZ4 supportJulian Andres Klode
Implement native support for LZ4 compression, using the official lz4 library.
2016-01-03Change compressor costs to be 100 apartJulian Andres Klode
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.
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.

2015-10-30aptconfiguration: Convert strtok() to strtok_r()Julian Andres Klode
strtok() is not thread-safe, whereas strtok_r() is. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-08-29try xz instead of bz2 first for compressed filesDavid Kalnischkies
xz has pretty much won "the compressor war" and e.g. the Debian archive doesn't even distribute bz2 anymore in favor of 'xz' and 'gz', so by changing the default order we have a more realistic --print-uris behavior as it will always show the first compressor. In practice this effects repositories without a Release file (very bad, we don't want to support them anymore anyhow) as xz will be tried before bz2 now [which is probably not available, but so might be bz2…] AND repositories which provide both, bz2 and xz (which isn't too common) in sofar as apt will now download xz instead of bz2. Users with special needs can stick with bz2 as first compressor tried with Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order:: "bz2"; (see man apt.conf) – but users with special needs usually prefer "gz" anyhow, so the realworld change is expected to be very low.
2015-08-29use c++11 algorithms to avoid strange compiler warningsDavid Kalnischkies
Nobody knows what makes the 'unable to optimize loop' warning to appear in the sourceslist minus-options parsing, especially if we use a foreach loop, but we can replace it with some nice c++11 algorithm+lambda usage, which also helps in making even clearer what happens here. And as this would be a lonely change, lets do it for a few more loops as well where I might or might not have seen the warning at some point in time, too. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-17Cleanup includes after running iwyuMichael Vogt
2015-08-14Make apt compile with clang++ againMichael Vogt
This allows us to run the clang static analyzer and to run the testsuite with the clang MemorySanitizer.
2014-09-30mark private methods as hiddenDavid Kalnischkies
We are the only possible users of private methods, so we are also the only users who can potentially export them via using them in inline methods. The point is: We don't need these symbols exported if we don't do this, so marking them as hidden removes some methods from the API without breaking anything as nobody could have used them. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-05-10invalid cache if architecture set doesn't matchDavid Kalnischkies
The cache heavily depends on the architecture(s) it is build for, especially if you move from single- to multiarch. Adding a new architecture to dpkg therefore has to be detected and must invalidate the cache so that we don't operate on incorrect data. The incorrect data will prevent us from doing otherwise sensible actions (it doesn't allow bad things to happen) and the recovery is simple and automatic in most cases, so this hides pretty well and is also not as serious as it might sound at first. Closes: 745036
2014-04-11do not create an (additional) empty compressorDavid Kalnischkies
FileFd code knows how to deal with such a compressor, so it isn't a problem, but it is absolutely not needed as we already have an (matching) identity compressor with '.' earlier in the list. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-03-13use liblzma-dev to provide xz/lzma supportDavid Kalnischkies
We have xz/lzma support for a while, but only via an external binary provided by xz-utils. Now that the Debian archive provides xz by default and dpkg pre-depends on the library provided by liblzma-dev we can switch now to use this library as well to avoid requiring an external binary. For now the binary is in a prio:required package, but this might change in the future. API wise it is quiet similar to bz2 code expect that it doesn't provide file I/O methods, so we piece this together on our own.
2014-03-13cleanup headers and especially #includes everywhereDavid Kalnischkies
Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems I have with high levels of parallel jobs. Git-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: iwyu (include-what-you-use)

Reported-By: gcc -Wignored-qualifiers Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-03-13support DEB_BUILD_PROFILES and -P for build profilesDavid Kalnischkies
Inspired by the rest of the patch in 661537, but abstract the parsing of various ways of setting the build profiles more so it can potentially be reused and all apt parts have the same behaviour. Especially config options, cmdline options and environment will not be combined as proposed as this isn't APTs usual behaviour and dpkg doesn't do it either, so one overrides the other as it normally does.
2014-03-13add default and override handling for Cnf::FindVectorDavid Kalnischkies
Automatically handle the override of list options via its parent value which can even be a comma-separated list of values. It also adds an easy way of providing a default for the list.

2014-01-16rework some code to fix some scan-build warningsDavid Kalnischkies
No visible functional changes, just code moved around and additional checks to eliminate impossible branches Reported-By: scan-build Git-Dch: Ignore
2013-10-03fix lzma-support detection via xz binaryDavid Kalnischkies
Clear() only clears a config option, not removing it and an empty setting still exists. Hence we set the option instead to the xz path so that the later existance check can find a binary for the test

2012-09-03* apt-pkg/cdrom.cc:David Kalnischkies
- copy only configured translation files from a CD-ROM and not all available translation files preventing new installs with d-i from being initialized with all translations (Closes: #678227) - handle Components in the reduction for the source.list as multi-arch CDs otherwise create duplicated source entries (e.g. "wheezy main main")
2012-06-10* apt-pkg/aptconfiguration.cc:David Kalnischkies
- if APT::Languages=none save "none" in allCodes so that the detected configuration is cached as intended (Closes: #674690, LP: #1004947)
2012-05-20* apt-pkg/aptconfiguration.cc:David Kalnischkies
- longcode Translation files are saved with encoded underscore, so make sure to pick these files up as well for Acquire::Languages
2012-05-09* apt-pkg/aptconfiguration.cc:David Kalnischkies
- use NULL instead of "" for no (un)compress parameters
2012-04-20fix a bug uncovered by the previous commit which checks if a CompressorDavid Kalnischkies
preference given by the Order setting is really available before adding it as possible CompressionType.
2012-04-20* apt-pkg/aptconfiguration.cc:David Kalnischkies
- if the compressor is not installed, but we link against it's library accept it as a CompressionType (Closes: #669328)

ignore the presents (or absence) of lzma if we decided to use xz
2012-04-05 - add libbz2-dev as new build-dependencyDavid Kalnischkies
- remove the libz-dev alternative from zlib1g-dev build-dependency - do the same for bz2 builtin if available * apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc: - use libz2 library for (de)compression instead of the bzip2 binary as the first is a dependency of dpkg and the later just priority:optional so we gain 'easier' access to bz2-compressed Translation files this way
