2016-07-19ensure Cnf::FindFile doesn't return files below /dev/nullDavid Kalnischkies
Very unlikely, but if the parent is /dev/null, the child empty and the grandchild a value we returned /dev/null/value which doesn't exist, so hardly a problem, but for best operability we should be consistent in our work and return /dev/null always.
2016-07-06don't change owner/perms/times through file:// symlinksDavid Kalnischkies
If we have files in partial/ from a previous invocation or similar such those could be symlinks created by file:// sources. The code is expecting only real files through and happily changes owner, modification times and permission on the file the symlink points to which tend to be files we have no business in touching in this way. Permissions of symlinks shouldn't be changed, changing owner is usually pointless to, but just to be sure we pick the easy way out and use lchown, check for symlinks before chmod/utimes.

2016-07-05give a descriptive error for pipe tries with 'false'David Kalnischkies
If libapt has builtin support for a compression type it will create a dummy compressor struct with the Binary set to 'false' as it will catch these before using the generic pipe implementation which uses the Binary. The catching happens based on configured Names through, so you can actually force apt to use the external binaries even if it would usually use the builtin support. That logic fails through if you don't happen to have these external binaries installed as it will fallback to calling 'false', which will end in confusing 'Write error's. So, this is again something you only encounter in constructed testing. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-07-02use +0000 instead of UTC by default as timezone in outputDavid Kalnischkies
All apt versions support numeric as well as 3-character timezones just fine and its actually hard to write code which doesn't "accidently" accepts it. So why change? Documenting the Date/Valid-Until fields in the Release file is easy to do in terms of referencing the datetime format used e.g. in the Debian changelogs (policy §4.4). This format specifies only the numeric timezones through, not the nowadays obsolete 3-character ones, so in the interest of least surprise we should use the same format even through it carries a small risk of regression in other clients (which encounter repositories created with apt-ftparchive). In case it is really regressing in practice, the hidden option -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::NumericTimezone=0 can be used to go back to good old UTC as timezone. The EDSP and EIPP protocols use this 'new' format, the text interface used to communicate with the acquire methods does not for compatibility reasons even if none of our methods would be effected and I doubt any other would (in these instances the timezone is 'GMT' as that is what HTTP/1.1 requires). Note that this is only true for apt talking to methods, (libapt-based) methods talking to apt will respond with the 'new' format. It is therefore strongly adviced to support both also in method input.
2016-06-29don't do atomic overrides with failed filesDavid Kalnischkies
We deploy atomic renames for some files, but these renames also happen if something about the file failed which isn't really the point of the exercise… Closes: 828908
2016-06-29Revert "travis: use gcc-5 instead of gcc(-4.8)"David Kalnischkies
This reverts commit 2b8221d66a8284042fc53c7bbb14bb9750e9137f. Avoiding the use of GCC >= 5 stuff lets use go back to 4.8 simplifying the travis setup again as well as reducing the backport requirements in general. This is possible because the std::get_time use requiring GCC >= 5 in 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 was replaced by handrolling it in 1d742e01470bba27715a8191c50adde4b39c2f19, so the remaining uses are just small conviniences we can do without.

2016-06-25imbue datetime parsing with C.UTF-8 localeDavid Kalnischkies
Rewritten in 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 for c++ locales usage and rewritten again in 1d742e01470bba27715a8191c50adde4b39c2f19 to avoid a currently present stdlibc++6 bug in the std::get_time implementation. The later implementation uses still stringstreams for parsing, but forgot to explicitly reset the locale to something sane (for parsing english dates that is), so date and especially the parsing of a number is depending on the locale. Turns out, the French (among others) format their numbers with space as thousand separator so for some reason the stdlibc++6 thinks its a good idea to interpret the entire datetime string as a single number instead of realizing that in "25 Jun …" the later parts can't reasonably be part of that number even through there are spaces there… Workaround is hence: LC_NUMERIC=C.UTF-8 Closes: 828011
2016-06-20implement and document DIRECT for auto-detect-proxyDavid Kalnischkies
There is a subtile difference between an empty setting and "DIRECT" in the configuration as the later overrides the generic settings while the earlier does not. Also, non-zero exitcodes should really be reported as an error rather than silently discarded.
2016-06-20do not error if auto-detect-proxy cmd has no outputDavid Kalnischkies
Regression introduced in 8f858d560e3b7b475c623c4e242d1edce246025a. Commands are probably better of always having output through as the fall through to the generic proxy settings is likely not intended. As documenting and implementing this more consistently is kind of a regression through, it is split off into the next commit. Closes: 827713
2016-06-17avoid std::get_time usage to sidestep libstdc++6 bugDavid Kalnischkies
As reported upstream in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71556 the implementation of std::get_time is currently not as accepting as strptime is, especially in how hours should be formatted. Just reverting 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 would be possible, but then we would reopen the problems fixed by it, so instead I opted here for a rewrite of the parsing logic which makes this method a lot longer, but at least it provides the same benefits as the rewrite in std::get_time was intended to give us and decouples us from the fix of the issue in the standard library implementation of GCC. LP: 1593583
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.
2016-06-10don't leak FD in AutoProxyDetect command return parsingDavid Kalnischkies
Just closing the fd would be enough, but while we are at it we can also use the Popen interface to have an easier time with this.
2016-06-10don't leak an FD in lz4 (de)compressionDavid Kalnischkies
Seen first in #826783, but as this buglog also shows leaked uncompressed files as well we don't close it just yet.
2016-06-10do not hang on piped input in PipedFileFdPrivateDavid Kalnischkies
This effects only compressors configured on the fly (rather then the inbuilt ones as they use a library).
2016-05-28use de-localed std::put_time instead rolling our ownDavid Kalnischkies
2016-05-28accept only the expected UTC timezones in date parsingDavid Kalnischkies
HTTP/1.1 hardcodes GMT (RFC 7231 §7.1.1.1) and what is good enough for the internet must be good enough for us™ as we reuse the implementation internally to parse (most) dates we encounter in various places like the Release files with their Date and Valid-Until header fields. Implementing a fully timezone aware parser just feels too hard for no effective benefit as it would take 5+ years (= until LTS's are out of fashion) until a repository could use non-UTC dates and expect it to work. Not counting non-apt implementations which might or might not only want to encounter UTC here as well. As a bonus, this eliminates the use of an instance of setlocale in libapt. Closes: 819697
2016-05-27prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIsDavid Kalnischkies
Setting the C++ locale via std::locale::global(std::locale("")); which would otherwise default to the default C locale (aka: unaffected by setlocale) effects the formatting of numeric types in IO streams, which for output for humans is perfectly sensible, but breaks our many text interfaces used and parsed by us and others without expecting the numbers to be formatted. Closes: #825396
2016-05-20edsp: try harder to not generate unneeded error messagesDavid Kalnischkies
The &= introduced in the EDSP-FileFd conversion isn't working to full satisfaction for multiple && clauses as the && has a higher binding than &= has, so that the methods were called even through they shouldn't have because of previous errors. Using variadic functions we can solve this in a slightly cleaner way bringing down the amount of 'broken pipe' errors for the error case of the dump resolver substantially. Git-Dch: Ignore
2016-05-20convert EDSP to be based on FileFd instead of FILE*David Kalnischkies
I doubt there is any non-src:apt usage of these interfaces.

2016-05-03remove 100-levels config nesting limitDavid Kalnischkies
The actual reason for this commit isn't the limit – there isn't much point in using that much nesting – its in shutting up gcc mostly: apt/apt-pkg/contrib/configuration.cc: In function ‘bool ReadConfigFile(Configuration&, const string&, const bool&, const unsigned int&)’: apt/apt-pkg/contrib/configuration.cc:686:20: warning: cannot optimize loop, the loop counter may overflow [-Wunsafe-loop-optimizations] string Stack[100]; ^ by replacing this with C++s handy std::stack container (adapter). Also cleans some whitespace noise from the file in the process.

2016-04-28FileFd: avoid further writing if file failedDavid Kalnischkies
If the file is in a failed state there is no point in trying to flush out the buffers as the file is to be discarded anyhow & its likely all this flushing is producing is additional error messages. Git-Dch: Ignore

2016-04-03use buffered writing for InRelease splittingDavid Kalnischkies
Hardly noticeable, but given that we have the option to easily enable it, lets enable it as every newline in the message is written individually by the code.
2016-04-03consistently add APT_OVERRIDE as method markerDavid Kalnischkies
Some methods had it missing, some used the keyword directly, which isn't a problem as it is a cc file, but for consistency lets stick to our macro for now. Git-Dch: Ignore

Introduces APT::Hashes::<NAME> with entries Untrusted and Weak which can be set to true to cause the hash to be treated as untrusted and/or weak.
2016-03-24Set hidden visibility for StringViewJulian Andres Klode

2016-03-13Do not consider SHA1 usableJulian Andres Klode
SHA1 is not reasonably secure anymore, so we should not consider it usable anymore. The test suite is adjusted to account for this.

2016-03-06Fix lzma write support to handle "try again" caseColin Watson
The liblzma-based write code needs the same tweaks that the read code already has to cope with the situation where lzma_code returns zero the first time through because avail_out is zero, but will do more work if called again. This ports the read tweaks to the write code as closely as possible (including matching comments etc.). Closes: #751688
2016-02-10Set seekpos to 0 after reopening files in Seek()Julian Andres Klode
If we just reopened the file, we also need to reset the current seek position when we reset the buffer, otherwise the code will not try to seek to the position given to Skip (from 0), but will try to seek to old offset + the position given to skip. Closes: #812994, #813000
2016-02-04Use some semantically more correct buffer operationsJulian Andres Klode
When writing into the buffer write to free() bytes starting at getend(), instead of buffersize_max bytes at get() -> get() is a read pointer. This makes no difference in practice though, as we reset the buffer before the call, so start = end = 0. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-02-04Correctly report write errors when flushing buffered writerJulian Andres Klode
We cannot just return false without setting an error, as InternalWrite does not set one itself.

Microoptimization, but still gives a measurable 2-3% improvement when using commands with lots of output like `apt list`.
2016-02-01Do not buffer writes larger than the buffer if possibleJulian Andres Klode
It makes no sense to split a large block into multiple small blocks, so when we have the chance to write them unbuffered, do so.

2016-02-01simple_buffer::write: Use free() instead of maxsize - size()Julian Andres Klode
We want to check whether the amount of free space is smaller than the requested write size. Checking maxsize - size() is incorrect for bufferstart >= 0, as size() = end - start. Gbp-Dch: ignore

2016-01-26drop explicit check for EWOULDBLOCK if it has the same value as EAGAINDavid Kalnischkies
gcc correctly reports that we check for the same value twice, expect that the manpage of read(2) tells us to do it for portability, so to make both sides happy lets add a little #if'ing here. Reported-By: gcc-6 Git-Dch: Ignore
2016-01-15string_view: Drop constexpr constructor for standard compatibilityJulian Andres Klode
APT::StringView is supposed to be a temporary measure, until support for the standardized string_view is widely available. Introducing additional unstandardized features just makes porting to the standard version harder. The constexpr constructor also won't have any real effect on most systems, as the compiler will happily optimise the strlen() call away for constant strings. Gbp-Dch: ignore

2016-01-15return correct position in APT::StringView::(r)findDavid Kalnischkies
The position returned is supposed to be the position of the character counted from the start of the string, but if we used the substr calling overloads the skipped over prefix wasn't considered. The pos parameter of rfind had also the wrong semantic.
2016-01-08Store the size of strings in the cacheJulian Andres Klode
By storing the size of the string in the cache, we can make use of it when comparing the names in the hashtable in pkgCache::FindGrp.
