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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Seen first in #826783, but as this buglog also shows leaked uncompressed
files as well we don't close it just yet.
|

This effects only compressors configured on the fly (rather then the
inbuilt ones as they use a library).

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

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.

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.

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]

by replacing this with C++s handy std::stack container (adapter).
Also cleans some whitespace noise from the file in the process.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

We cannot just return false without setting an error,

Microoptimization, but still gives a measurable 2-3% improvement

It makes no sense to split a large block into multiple small

We want to check whether the amount of free space is smaller
than the requested write size. Checking maxsize - size() is

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hide the std::string overload instead of providing a

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.
