APT has a different understanding than dpkg (#748936) what matches and
what doesn't match an architecture specification as it isn't converting
back (and forward) to Debian triplets. That has to eventually be solved
some way or the other, but until that happens we change the matching in
apt so that porters can continue their work on non-gnu libc-ports even
if policy doesn't specify that yet (and dpkg just supporting it "by
accident" via triplets).
The initial patch was reformatted, fixed in terms of patterns containing
"any-any", dealing with expanding an arch without libc to gnu while a
pattern expands libc to any, the parsedepends test was fixed (the new
if's were inserted one step too early) and another test just for the
specifications added.
Closes: #812212

The Date field in the Release file is useful to avoid allowing an
attacker to 'downgrade' a user to earlier Release files (and hence to
older states of the archieve with open security bugs). It is also needed
to allow a user to define min/max values for the validation of a Release
file (with or without the Release file providing a Valid-Until field).
APT wasn't formally requiring this field before through and (agrueable
not binding and still incomplete) online documentation declares it
optional (until now), so we downgrade the error to a warning for now to
give repository creators a bit more time to adapt – the bigger ones
should have a Date field for years already, so the effected group should
be small in any case.
It should be noted that earlier apt versions had this as an error
already, but only showed it if a Valid-Until field was present (or the
user tried to used the configuration items for min/max valid-until).

It is a bit academic to support values which aren't big enough to fit even
the hashtables without resizing, but cleaning up ensures that we do the
right thing (aka not segfaulting) even if something goes wrong in these
deep layers. You still can't have very very small values through…

These virtual methods are implemented in hidden classes, so we can drop

In commit a221efc331693f8905da870141756c892911c433 I promoted the source
package name and version to the binary cache for faster access by e.g.
EDSP, but due to changing the interpretation length to soon we always
ignored the version part of the Source field, so that packages ended up
having the binary version as source version – which while usually just
fine it is wrong for binary rebuilds.

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.

This would mess up reference counting and should not be allowed
(it could be implemented correctly, but it would not be efficient
and we do not need it).

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.

Proper debian packages do not contain ':' in the package name, so for
real packages this is a non-issue, but apt itself frequently makes use
of packages with such an illegal name for internal proposes.

If you have chosen to install a foreign architecture provider it is
more reasonable to keep this provider instead of removing this one to
replace it with a newer version from a (usually) more preferred arch.

To resolve dependencies like "pkg:arch" we create a package with the
name "pkg:arch" and the architecture "any". We create these packages
only if a dependency needs it as these kind of dependencies aren't that
common. This commit ensured that in the even this architecture specific
dependency is the only relation this package has we still create the
underlying package to have them available in provides resolution.

I only looked at parameters in the previous commit, which was
not enough: One place also generated local string views. In this
case, we only need to make ArchA dynamic, as NameA is not used
after the FindPkg() call.

It turns out that StringViews might need to be remapped in some
places because they come from the cache. For example, some sites
pass a Ver.VerStr() to NewProvides().
Such a StringView would become invalid during the duration of
the call if the cache is remapped, causing the program to die
with a segmentation fault.
We can take care of those issues by remapping string views in
the same way we remap all the iterators. String views are only
remapped if they point into the cache though, this allows us
to write more generic code on the callee site without having
to check whether the view points into the cache or not.
That's not as efficient as possible, but the overhead does not
appear to be measurable.
Closes: #812251

This allows us to check if a value to be remapped was inside
the cache or not, which will become useful at a later point.

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.

Introduced in 9d2a8a7388cf3b0bbbe92f6b0b30a533e1167f40 apt tries to
merge actions like downloading the same (as judged by hashes) file
into doing it once. The implementation was very simple in that it isn't
planing at all. Turns out that it works 90% of the time just fine, but
has issues in more complicated situations in which items can be in
different stages downloading different files emitting potentially the
"wrong" hash – like while pdiffs are worked on we might end up copying
the patch instead of the result file giving us very strange errors in
return. Reverting the change until we can implement a better planing
solution seems to be the best course of action even if its sad.

Architectures for packages which do not belong to the native nor a
foreign architecture (dubbed barbarian for now) which are marked
M-A:foreign still provide in their own architecture even if not for
others. Also, other M-A:foreign (and allowed) packages provide in these
barbarian architectures.

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.

The code already deals with compressed leftovers, but forgot the
uncompressed files. The opertunity is picked to reorder this code and
add debug messages about the actions taken as well as produce such a
leftover file in the associated testcase.
|
|
With the addition of the $HASH-Download field in the .diff/Index we got
the size of the compressed patches for 'free', so if that information is
available we can use it for a more fitting calculation of the size
requirements of the patches vs. the complete file.
Note that this predicts a too small size in the transition case in which
the information isn't available for all patches, but figuring this out
would be a lot of code for practically nothing as only one update can
ever be in such a transition phase.

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.
|
|
There is no reason to enforce that the file we start the bootstrap with
is compressed with a compressor which is available online. This allows
us to change the on-disk format as well as deals with repositories
adding/removing support for a specific compressor.
|
|
If we store files compressed in lists/ and the file switched compression
formats we happened to retain the "old" format, but by default the
cleanup process catched this oversight and removed the file.
[The initial situation described doesn't arise as we store no files by
default compressed and even with apt-file configuring Contents files, we
don't really have that problem as there is just .gz files for those.]
We solve this by just removing any uncompressed as well as compressed
(we support) file just before we move the 'new' version of the file in.
|
|
Adding a new compressor method meant adding a new method as well – even
if that boilt down to just linking to our generalized decompressor with
a new name. That is unneeded busywork if we can instead just call the
generalized decompressor and let it figure out which compressor to use
based on the filenames rather than by program name.
For compatibility we ship still 'gzip', 'bzip2' and co, but they are
just links to our "new" 'store' method.

Do not create strings within the loop, that creates one string
per language and does more work than needed. Instead, reserve
enough space at the beginning and assign the prefix, and then
resize and append inside the loop.
Also call exists with the string itself instead of the c_str(),
this means that the lookup uses the size information in the
string now and does not have to call strlen() on it.
|
|
It makes no sense to check if the value is empty, as it cannot
be. It will always be a hexstring of exactly 32 bytes.
|
|
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.

Instead of storing a string -> map_stringitem_t mapping, create
our own data type that can point to either a normal string or
a string inside the cache.
This avoids the creation of any string and improves performance
slightly (about 4%).

This improves performance, as we now can ignore unequal strings
based on their length already.

This removes some minor overhead.

Moving the string is likely faster than copying it. We could probably
avoid strings alltogether in the future using some more crazy code,
but I have not looked at that yet.
