2018-01-17Introduce inrelease-path option for sources.listJulian Andres Klode
Allow specifying an alternative path to the InRelease file, so you can have multiple versions of a repository, for example. Enabling this option disables fallback to Release and Release.gpg, so setting it to InRelease can be used to ensure that only that will be tried. We add two test cases: One for checking that it works, and another for checking that the fallback does not happen. Closes: #886745
2017-12-14remove pointless APT_PURE from void functionsDavid Kalnischkies
Earlier gcc versions used to complain that you should add them althrough there isn't a lot of point to it if you think about it, but now gcc (>= 8) complains about the attribute being present. warning: ‘pure’ attribute on function returning ‘void’ [-Wattributes] Reported-By: gcc -Wattributes Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2017-12-13implement fallback to alternative URIs for all itemsDavid Kalnischkies
For deb files we always supported falling back from one server to the other if one failed to download the deb, but that was hardwired in the handling of this specific item. Moving this alongside the retry infrastructure we can implement it for all items and allow methods to use this as well by providing additional URIs in a redirect.
2017-08-24Replace APT_CONST with APT_PURE everywhereJulian Andres Klode
As a follow up to the last commit, let's replace APT_CONST with APT_PURE everywhere to clean stuff up.
2017-07-12Reformat and sort all includes with clang-formatJulian Andres Klode
This makes it easier to see which headers includes what. The changes were done by running git grep -l '#\s*include' \ | grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \ | xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/' To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running ./git-clang-format.sh.
2017-07-12Drop cacheiterators.h includeJulian Andres Klode
Including cacheiterators.h before pkgcache.h fails because pkgcache.h depends on cacheiterators.h.
2017-06-26fix some unlikely memory leaks in error casesDavid Kalnischkies
The error cases are just as unlikely as the memory leaks to ever cause real problems, but lets play it safe for correctness. Reported-By: scan-build & clang Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-08-17add --with-source option and Packages/Sources supportDavid Kalnischkies
We support "./foobar.deb" as a way to install a deb file directly. Recently .changes files were added. This highlights a problem as you can't add the changes file without also trying to install all of them. Now, it could also be handy to add entire Packages/Sources files to perhaps get a bunch of packages in without installing them all implicitly. This commit introduces --with-source which allows to add *.deb, *.changes, *.dsc, source-dirs, Packages & Sources files (the later can also be compressed) without also installing them.
2016-06-22add insecure (and weak) allow-options for sources.listDavid Kalnischkies
Weak had no dedicated option before and Insecure and Downgrade were both global options, which given the effect they all have on security is rather bad. Setting them for individual repositories only isn't great but at least slightly better and also more consistent with other settings for repositories.
2016-05-08implement Identifier field for IndexTargetsDavid Kalnischkies
A frontend like apt-file is only interested in a specific set of files and selects those easily via "Created-By". If it supports two locations for those files through it would need to select both and a user would need to know that implementation detail for sources.list configuration. The "Identifier" field is hence introduced which by default has the same value as "Created-By", but can be freely configured – especially it can be used to give two indexes the same identifier.
2016-05-08implement Fallback-Of for IndexTargetsDavid Kalnischkies
Sometimes index files are in different locations in a repository as it is currently the case for Contents files which are per-component in Debian, but aren't in Ubuntu. This has historic reasons and is perhaps changed soon, but such cases of transitions can always happen in the future again, so we should prepare: Introduced is a new field declaring that the current item should only be downloaded if the mentioned item wasn't allowing for transitions without a flagday in clients and archives. This isn't implemented 'simpler' with multiple MetaKeys as items (could) change their descriptions and perhaps also other configuration bits with their location.
2016-04-13detect compressed status files on extension againDavid Kalnischkies
It handy to be able to point apt at reading a compressed dpkg/status file in debugging cases, which worked pre-1.1 but somewhere down the line in the massive refactoring. Restoring this behavior in a central place for all realfile index files instead of just for the status file. (This has no effect on index files acquired from an archive – those are handled by different classes and support compressed files just fine)

2016-01-25reimplement build-dep via apts normal resolverDavid Kalnischkies
build-dep was implemented by parsing the build-dependencies of a package and figuring out which packages to install/remove based on this. That means that for the first level of dependencies build-dep was implementing its very own resolver with all the benefits (aka: bugs) this gives us for not using the existing resolver for all levels. Making this work involves generating a dummy binary package with fitting Depends and Conflicts and as we can't create them out of thin air the cache generation needs to be involved so we end up writing a Packages file which we want to parse – after we have parsed the other Packages files already. With .dsc/.deb files we could add them before we started parsing anything. With a bit of care we can avoid generating too much data we have to throw away again (as many parts assume that e.g. the count of packages doesn't change midair), so that on a speed front there shouldn't be much of a difference, but output can be slightly confusing as if we have a completely valid cache on disk the "Reading package lists... Done" is printed two times – but apt is pretty quick about it in that case. Closes: #137560, #444930, #489911, #583914, #728317, #812173
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.

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.
2015-09-14add 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.

2015-08-30detect 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.
2015-08-29implement 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.
2015-08-28implement 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.

2015-08-10parse 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
2015-08-10allow 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.
2015-08-10make 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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-16add d-pointer, virtual destructors and de-inline de/constructorsDavid Kalnischkies
To have a chance to keep the ABI for a while we need all three to team up. One of them missing and we might loose, so ensuring that they are available is a very tedious but needed task once in a while. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-15implement default apt-get file --release-info modeDavid Kalnischkies
Selecting targets based on the Release they belong to isn't to unrealistic. In fact, it is assumed to be the most used case so it is made the default especially as this allows to bundle another thing we have to be careful with: Filenames and only showing targets we have acquired. Closes: 752702
2015-06-11implement 'apt-get files' to access index targetsDavid Kalnischkies
Downloading additional files is only half the job. We still need a way to allow external tools to know where the files are they requested for download given that we don't want them to choose their own location. 'apt-get files' is our answer to this showing by default in a deb822 format information about each IndexTarget with the potential to filter the records based on lines and an option to change the output format. The command serves also as an example on how to get to this information via libapt.
2015-06-11use an enum instead of strings as IndexTarget::Option interfaceDavid Kalnischkies
Strings are easy to typo and we can keep the extensibility we require here with a simple enum we can append to without endangering ABI. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-11use IndexTarget to get to IndexFileDavid Kalnischkies
