2015-11-04support arch:all data e.g. in separate Packages fileDavid Kalnischkies
Based on a discussion with Niels Thykier who asked for Contents-all this implements apt trying for all architecture dependent files to get a file for the architecture all, which is treated internally now as an official architecture which is always around (like native). This way arch:all data can be shared instead of duplicated for each architecture requiring the user to download the same information again and again. There is one problem however: In Debian there is already a binary-all/ Packages file, but the binary-any files still include arch:all packages, so that downloading this file now would be a waste of time, bandwidth and diskspace. We therefore need a way to decide if it makes sense to download the all file for Packages in Debian or not. The obvious answer would be a special flag in the Release file indicating this, which would need to default to 'no' and every reasonable repository would override it to 'yes' in a few years time, but the flag would be there "forever". Looking closer at a Release file we see the field "Architectures", which doesn't include 'all' at the moment. With the idea outlined above that 'all' is a "proper" architecture now, we interpret this field as being authoritative in declaring which architectures are supported by this repository. If it says 'all', apt will try to get all, if not it will be skipped. This gives us another interesting feature: If I configure a source to download armel and mips, but it declares it supports only armel apt will now print a notice saying as much. Previously this was a very cryptic failure. If on the other hand the repository supports mips, too, but for some reason doesn't ship mips packages at the moment, this 'missing' file is silently ignored (= that is the same as the repository including an empty file). The Architectures field isn't mandatory through, so if it isn't there, we assume that every architecture is supported by this repository, which skips the arch:all if not listed in the release file.
2015-11-04sanify API to get 'the' candidate versionDavid Kalnischkies
This was discussed a while ago on #debian-apt and now that I see myself making this mistake lets bite the bullet and fix it in the easy way out version: Using a new name which fits with a similar named setter and deprecate the old method instead of 'hostily' changing API. Closes: #803471
2015-11-04show progress info while 'downloading' a local .deb fileDavid Kalnischkies
Showing just "Get: [1234 B]" looks very strange, so we now print the filename and as usual the package name, version and architecture.
2015-11-04provide public interface to hold/unhold packagesDavid Kalnischkies
We had this code lying around in apt-mark for a while now, but other frontends need this (and similar) functionality as well, so its high time that we provide a public interface in libapt for this stuff.
2015-11-04refactor dpkg execution in deb/debsystemDavid Kalnischkies
We have a few places and there will be a few more still where we have to call dpkg to detect/set certain features or settings. Centralizing the calling infrastructure now seems like a good idea before we add another.
2015-11-04implement a public pkgSystem::ArchitecturesSupportedDavid Kalnischkies
2015-11-04implement a public pkgSystem::MultiArchSupportedDavid Kalnischkies
Some codepaths need to check if the system (in our case usually dpkg) supports MultiArch or not. We had copy-pasted the check so far into these paths, but having it as a system check is better for reusability.
2015-10-30dpkgpm: Convert users of localtime() to localtime_r()Julian Andres Klode
The former is not thread-safe, whereas the latter is. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-10-30dpkgpm: Use ptsname_r() instead of ptsname() to be thread-safeJulian Andres Klode
This function only exists on a limited number of platforms, so we add a configure check to make sure it exists. Gbp-Dch: ignore

More safety, less writeable memory.
2015-09-14add by-hash sources.list option and document all of by-hashDavid Kalnischkies
This changes the semantics of the option (which is renamed too) to be a yes/no value with the special additional value "force" as this allows by-hash to be disabled even if the repository indicates it would be supported and is more in line with our other yes/no options like pdiff which disable themselves if no support can be detected. The feature wasn't documented so far and hasn't reached a (un)stable release yet, so changing it without trying too hard to keep compatibility seems okay.
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.
2015-09-14implement 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.
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

2015-08-30detect 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.
2015-08-30implement $(NATIVE_ARCHITECTURE) substvar for indextargetsDavid Kalnischkies
2015-08-29implement indextargets option 'DefaultEnabled'David Kalnischkies
Some targets like Contents-udeb are special-needs targets. Shipping the configuration snippet for them is okay, but they shouldn't be downloaded by default. Forcing the user to enable targets by uncommenting targets is wrong and this would still not really solve the problem completely as even if you want to download some -udebs it will probably not be for all sources you have enabled, so having the possibility of disabling a target by default, but giving the user the option to enable it on a per-source entry basis is better.
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
2015-08-28implement PDiff patching for compressed filesDavid Kalnischkies
Some additional files like 'Contents' are very big and should therefore kept compressed on the disk, which apt-file did in the past. It also implemented pdiff patching of these files by un- and recompressing these files on-the-fly, with this commit we can do the same – but we can do this in both pdiff patching styles (client and server merging) and secured by hashes. Hashes are in so far slightly complicated as we can't compare the hashes of the compressed files as we might compress them differently than the server would (different compressor versions, options, …), so we must compare the hashes of the uncompressed content. While this commit has changes in public headers, the classes it changes are marked as hidden, so nobody can use them directly, which means the ABI break is internal only.
2015-08-27sources.list and indextargets option for pdiffsDavid Kalnischkies
Disabling pdiffs can be useful occasionally, like if you have a fast local mirror where the download doesn't matter, but still want to use it for non-local mirrors. Also, some users might prefer it to only use it for very big indextargets like Contents.
2015-08-27Do not parse Status fields from remote sourcesJulian Andres Klode
This could allow an attacker to mark a package as installed in a remote package index, as long as the package was not listed in the dpkg status file. This way, an attacker could force the installation of a package during a dist-upgrade, by providing two packages in an index, an older marked as installed, and a newer - apt would "upgrade" to the newer version.
2015-08-27allow explicit dis/enable of IndexTargets in sources optionsDavid Kalnischkies
While Target{,-Add,-Remove} is available for configuring IndexTargets already, allow Targets to be mentioned explicitely as yes/no options as well, so that the Target 'Contents' can be disabled via 'Contents: no' as well as 'Target-Remove: Contents'.

2015-08-10drop obsolete explicit :none handling in pkgCacheGenDavid Kalnischkies
We archieve the same without the special handling now, so drop this code. Makes supporting this abdomination a little longer bearable as well. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10parse packages from all architectures into the cacheDavid Kalnischkies
Now that we can dynamically create dependencies and provides as needed rather than requiring to know with which architectures we will deal before running we can allow the listparser to parse all records rather than skipping records of "unknown" architectures. This can e.g. happen if a user has foreign architecture packages in his status file without dpkg knowing about this architecture (or apt configured in this way). A sideeffect is that now arch:all packages are (correctly) recorded as available from any Packages file, not just from the native one – which has its downsides for the resolver as mixed-arch source packages can appear in different architectures at different times, but that is the problem of the resolver and dealing with it in the parser is at best a hack (and also depends on a helpful repository). Another sideeffect is that his allows :none packages to appear in Packages files again as we don't do any kind of checks now, but given that they aren't really supported (anymore) by anyone we can live with that.
2015-08-10elimate duplicated code in pkgIndexFile subclassesDavid Kalnischkies
Trade deduplication of code for a bunch of new virtuals, so it is actually visible how the different indexes behave cleaning up the interface at large in the process. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10add volatile sources support in libapt-pkgDavid Kalnischkies
Sources are usually defined in sources.list (and co) and are pretty stable, but once in a while a frontend might want to add an additional "source" like a local .deb file to install this package (No support for 'real' sources being added this way as this is a multistep process). We had a hack in place to allow apt-get and apt to pull this of for a short while now, but other frontends are either left in the cold by this and/or the code for it looks dirty with FIXMEs plastering it and has on top of this also some problems (like including these 'volatile' sources in the srcpkgcache.bin file). So the biggest part in this commit is actually the rewrite of the cache generation as it is now potentially a three step process. The biggest problem with adding support now through is that this makes a bunch of previously mostly unusable by externs and therefore hidden classes public, so a bit of further tuneing on this now public API is in order…
2015-08-10just-in-time creation for (explicit) negative depsDavid Kalnischkies
Now that we deal with provides in a more dynamic fashion the last remaining problem is explicit dependencies like 'Conflicts: foo' which have to apply to all architectures, but creating them all at the same time requires us to know all architectures ending up in the cache which isn't needed to be the same set as all foreign architectures. The effect is visible already now through as this prevents the creation of a bunch of virtual packages for arch:all packages and as such also many dependencies, just not very visible if you don't look at the stats… Git-Dch Ignore
2015-08-10just-in-time creation for (implicit) ProvidesDavid Kalnischkies
Expecting the worst is easy to code, but has its disadvantages e.g. by creating package structures which otherwise would have never existed. By creating the provides instead at the time a package structure is added we are well prepared for the introduction of partial architectures, massive amounts of M-A:foreign (and :allowed) and co as far as provides are concerned at least. We have something relatively similar for dependencies already. Many tests are added for both M-A states and the code cleaned to properly support implicit provides for foreign architectures and architectures we 'just' happen to parse. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10hide implicit deps in apt-cache again by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
Before MultiArch implicits weren't a thing, so they were hidden by default by definition. Adding them for MultiArch solved many problems, but having no reliable way of detecting which dependency (and provides) is implicit or not causes problems everytime we want to output dependencies without confusing our observers with unneeded implementation details. The really notworthy point here is actually that we keep now a better record of how a dependency came to be so that we can later reason about it more easily, but that is hidden so deep down in the library internals that change is more the problems it solves than the change itself.
2015-08-10remove the compatibility markers for 4.13 abiDavid Kalnischkies
We aren't and we will not be really compatible again with the previous stable abi, so lets drop these markers (which never made it into a released version) for good as they have outlived their intend already. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10bunch of micro-optimizations for depcacheDavid Kalnischkies
DepCache functions are called a lot, so if we can squeeze some drops out of them for free we should do so. Takes also the opportunity to remove some whitespace errors from these functions. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10rename 'apt-get files' to 'apt-get indextargets'David Kalnischkies
'files' is a bit too generic as a name for a command usually only used programmatically (if at all) by developers, so instead of "wasting" this generic name for this we use "indextargets" which is actually the name of the datastructure the displayed data is stored in. Along with this rename the config options are renamed accordingly.
2015-08-10add c++11 override marker to overridden methodsDavid Kalnischkies
C++11 adds the 'override' specifier to mark that a method is overriding a base class method and error out if not. We hide it in the APT_OVERRIDE macro to ensure that we keep compiling in pre-c++11 standards. Reported-By: clang-modernize -add-override -override-macros Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10allow individual targets to be kept compressedDavid Kalnischkies
There is an option to keep all targets (Packages, Sources, …) compressed for a while now, but the all-or-nothing approach is a bit limited for our purposes with additional targets as some of them are very big (Contents) and rarely used in comparison, so keeping them compressed by default can make sense, while others are still unpacked. Most interesting is the copy-change maybe: Copy is used by the acquire system as an uncompressor and it is hence expected that it returns the hashes for the "output", not the input. Now, in the case of keeping a file compressed, the output is never written to disk, but generated in memory and we should still validated it, so for compressed files copy is expected to return the hashes of the uncompressed file. We used to use the config option to enable on-the-fly decompress in the method, but in reality copy is never used in a way where it shouldn't decompress a compressed file to get its hashes, so we can save us the trouble of sending this information to the method and just do it always.
2015-08-10implement Signed-By option for sources.listDavid Kalnischkies
Limits which key(s) can be used to sign a repository. Not immensely useful from a security perspective all by itself, but if the user has additional measures in place to confine a repository (like pinning) an attacker who gets the key for such a repository is limited to its potential and can't use the key to sign its attacks for an other (maybe less limited) repository… (yes, this is as weak as it sounds, but having the capability might come in handy for implementing other stuff later).
2015-08-10add sources.list Check-Valid-Until and Valid-Until-{Max,Min} optionsDavid Kalnischkies
These options could be set via configuration before, but the connection to the actual sources is so strong that they should really be set in the sources.list instead – especially as this can be done a lot more specific rather than e.g. disabling Valid-Until for all sources at once. Valid-Until-* names are chosen instead of the Min/Max-ValidTime as this seems like a better name and their use in the wild is probably low enough that this isn't going to confuse anyone if we have to names for the same thing in different areas. In the longrun, the config options should be removed, but for now documentation hinting at the new options is good enough as these are the kind of options you set once across many systems with different apt versions, so the new way should work everywhere first before we deprecate the old way.
2015-08-10merge indexRecords into metaIndexDavid Kalnischkies
indexRecords was used to parse the Release file – mostly the hashes – while metaIndex deals with downloading the Release file, storing all indexes coming from this release and … parsing the Release file, but this time mostly for the other fields. That wasn't a problem in metaIndex as this was done in the type specific subclass, but indexRecords while allowing to override the parsing method did expect by default a specific format. APT isn't really supporting different types at the moment, but this is a violation of the abstraction we have everywhere else and, which is the actual reason for this merge: Options e.g. coming from the sources.list come to metaIndex naturally, which needs to wrap them up and bring them into indexRecords, so the acquire system is told about it as they don't get to see the metaIndex, but they don't really belong in indexRecords as this is just for storing data loaded from the Release file… the result is a complete mess. I am not saying it is a lot prettier after the merge, but at least adding new options is now slightly easier and there is just one place responsible for parsing the Release file. That can't hurt.
2015-08-10detect and error out on conflicting Trusted settingsDavid Kalnischkies
A specific trust state can be enforced via a sources.list option, but it effects all entries handled by the same Release file, not just the entry it was given on so we enforce acknowledgement of this by requiring the same value to be (not) set on all such entries.
2015-08-10support lang= and target= sources.list optionsDavid Kalnischkies
We support arch= for a while, now we finally add lang= as well and as a first simple way of controlling which targets to acquire also target=. This asked for a redesign of the internal API of parsing and storing information about 'deb' and 'deb-src' lines. As this API isn't visible to the outside no damage done through. Beside being a nice cleanup (= it actually does more in less lines) it also provides us with a predictable order of architectures as provides in the configuration rather than based on string sorting-order, so that now the native architecture is parsed/displayed first. Observeable e.g. in apt-get output.
2015-08-10fix memory leaks reported by -fsanitizeDavid Kalnischkies

2015-08-10make all d-pointer * const pointersDavid Kalnischkies
Doing this disables the implicit copy assignment operator (among others) which would cause hovac if used on the classes as it would just copy the pointer, not the data the d-pointer points to. For most of the classes we don't need a copy assignment operator anyway and in many classes it was broken before as many contain a pointer of some sort. Only for our Cacheset Container interfaces we define an explicit copy assignment operator which could later be implemented to copy the data from one d-pointer to the other if we need it.
