2015-06-12store Release files data in the CacheDavid Kalnischkies
We used to read the Release file for each Packages file and store the data in the PackageFile struct even through potentially many Packages (and Translation-*) files could use the same data. The point of the exercise isn't the duplicated data through. Having the Release files as first-class citizens in the Cache allows us to properly track their state as well as allows us to use the information also for files which aren't in the cache, but where we know to which Release file they belong (Sources are an example for this). This modifies the pkgCache structs, especially the PackagesFile struct which depending on how libapt users access the data in these structs can mean huge breakage or no visible change. As a single data point: aptitude seems to be fine with this. Even if there is breakage it is trivial to fix in a backportable way while avoiding breakage for everyone would be a huge pain for us. Note that not all PackageFile structs have a corresponding ReleaseFile. In particular the dpkg/status file as well as *.deb files have not. As these have only a Archive property need, the Component property takes over this duty and the ReleaseFile remains zero. This is also the reason why it isn't needed nor particularily recommended to change from PackagesFile to ReleaseFile blindly. Sticking with the earlier is usually the better option.
2014-11-08mark internal interfaces as hiddenDavid Kalnischkies
We have a bunch of classes which are of no use for the outside world, but were still exported and so needed to preserve ABI/API. Marking them as hidden to not export them any longer is a big API break in theory, but in practice nobody is using them – as if they would its a bug.
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)
2011-12-13revert 2184.1.3: forward declaration instead of headersDavid Kalnischkies
The breakage is just to big for now, so guard the change with #ifndef APT_8_CLEANER_HEADERS and be nice to library users
2011-09-19use forward declaration in headers if possible instead of includesDavid Kalnischkies
2011-09-19do not pollute namespace in the headers with using (Closes: #500198)David Kalnischkies
2011-03-30add a first round of stuff needed for talking between APT and solversDavid Kalnischkies
based on a very early draft for EDSP by Stefano APT can now write a scenario as well as load most stuff from it.
