2015-12-22shuffle compressor-specific code into private subclassesDavid Kalnischkies
This isn't implementing any new features, it is "just" moving code around from FileFd methods which decided on each call how to handle the request by including all logic for all possible compressor backends in the method body to a model in which backend-specifics are implemented in a FileFdPrivate subclass. This avoids a big chunk of #ifdef's and should make it a tiny bit more obvious which backend uses which code. The execution of the idea is slightly uglified by the need to preserve ABI and API which causes liberal befriending. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-12-19Do not try to read in FileFd::Read() if Size is 0Julian Andres Klode
There's no point trying to read 0 bytes, so let's just not do this and switch to a while loop like in Write(). Gbp-Dch: ignore
2015-12-19Do nothing in FileFd::Write() if Size is 0Julian Andres Klode
Turn the do-while loop into while loops, so it simply does nothing if the Size is already 0. This reverts commit c0b271edc2f6d9e5dea5ac82fbc911f0e3adfa7a which introduced a fix for a specific instance of the issue in the CopyFile() function. Closes: #808381
2015-12-19CopyFile: avoid failing on EOF on some systemsPino Toscano
On EOF, ToRead will be 0, which might trigger on some systems (e.g. on the Hurd) an error due to the invalid byte count passed to write(). The whole loop already checks for ToRead != 0, so perform the writing step only when there was actual data read. Closes: #808381
2015-12-19CopyFile: fix BufSize to a sane valuePino Toscano
Commit e977b8b9234ac5db32f2f0ad7e183139b988340d tries to make BufSize calculated based on the size of the buffer; the problem is that std::unique_ptr::size() returns a pointer to the data, so sizeof() equals to the size of a pointer (later divided by sizeof(char), which is 1). The result is that the CopyFile copies in chunks of 8 bytes, which is not exactly ideal... As solution, declare BufSize in advance, and use its value to allocate the Buf array. Closes: #808381
2015-12-14pkgcache: Make hash arch-independent using fixed size integerJulian Andres Klode
This helps writing test cases. Also adapt the test case that expected 64-bit. Nothing changes performance wise, the distribution of the hash values remains intact.

2015-12-14non-existing directories don't need to be cleanedDavid Kalnischkies
Trying to clean up directories which do not exist seems rather silly if you think about it, so let apt think about it and stop it. Depends a bit on the caller if this is fixing anything for them as they might try to acquire a lock or doing other clever things as apt does. Closes: 807477
2015-12-14support regex and co in 'apt-cache policy $pkg' againDavid Kalnischkies
Regression of 1e064088bf7b3e29cd36d30760fb3e4143a1a49a (1.1~exp4) which moved code around and renamed methods heavily ending up calling the wrong method matching packagenames only instead of calling the full array. Most commands work with versions, so this managed to fly under the radar for quite a while. Closes: 807870
2015-12-14show a more descriptive error for weak Release filesDavid Kalnischkies
If we can't work with the hashes we parsed from the Release file we display now an error message if the Release file includes only weak hashes instead of downloading the indexes and failing to verify them with "Hash Sum mismatch" even through the hashes didn't mismatch (they were just weak). If for some (unlikely) reason we have got weak hashes only for individual targets we will show a warning to this effect (again, befor downloading and failing the index itself). Closes: 806459
2015-12-13parse .diff/Index hashes in reverse orderDavid Kalnischkies
Reversing the parsing order ensures that we parse weaker hashes (like SHA1) before we touch newer/stronger hashes (like SHA256) as the weaker ones will usually be there for a longer time already with data already present, which we would discard if we start with the strong one first. The discarding is visible in the debug logs: File X wasn't in the list for the first parsed hash! (history) File X wasn't in the list for the first parsed hash! (patches) which if file X is part of the patch-path means apt will not find a path and fallback to acquire the whole file instead needlessly. If file X isn't part of the patch-path that is no problem, so that effects only the update-call which updates with patches coming from before and after the addition of a new hash.

2015-12-11Convert package names from Packages files to lower caseJulian Andres Klode

2015-12-01require explicit paths to dsc/control as we do for deb filesDavid Kalnischkies
Otherwise a user is subject to unexpected content-injection depending on which directory she happens to start apt in. This also cleans up the code requiring less implementation details in build-dep which is always good. Technically, this is an ABI break as we override virtual methods, but that they weren't overridden was a mistake resulting in pure classes, which shouldn't be pure, so they were unusable – and as they are new in 1.1 nobody is using them yet (and hopefully ever as they are borderline implementation details). Closes: 806693

2015-11-28disable privilege-drop verification by default as fakeroot trips over itDavid Kalnischkies
Dropping privileges is an involved process for code and system alike so ideally we want to verify that all the work wasn't in vain. Stuff designed to sidestep the usual privilege checks like fakeroot (and its many alternatives) have their problem with this through, partly through missing wrapping (#806521), partly as e.g. regaining root from an unprivileged user is in their design. This commit therefore disables most of these checks by default so that apt runs fine again in a fakeroot environment. Closes: 806475
2015-11-28show the group we failed to drop via setgroupsDavid Kalnischkies

2015-11-27Deal with killed acquire methods properly instead of hangingMichael Vogt
This fixes a regression caussed by commit 95278287f4e1eeaf5d96749d6fc9bfc53fb400d0 that moved the error detection of RunFds() later into the loop. However this broke detecting issues like dead acquire methods. Instead of relying on the global error state (which is bad) we now pass a boolean value back from RunFds() and break on false. Closes: #806406

2015-11-21do not sent Last-Modified if we expect a changed fileDavid Kalnischkies
In 8d041b4f we made apt figure out based on the last Release file it has if it should request a file or not given that the hashes changed or not. So if we have a last Release file and do a request, do not sent a Last-Modified header as we expect a change so much that a non-change would indeed be an error. The Last-Modified header is therefore at best ignored by the server, so sending it is just wasted effort. In the worst case as time is a fragile thing the server decides against sending us an update with the idea that we already have the latest content, which we know for a fact that we haven't. Given that we sent less information to the server our request is on its own also less identifiable as coming from a returning or new user. The disadvantage is that if we end up getting an old index file after getting a new Release file from another mirror the old mirror will not be able to tell us 'Hit', but instead sends us the complete file we discard, but both lets us end up with the same error class in the end, so the difference isn't big in practice.

2015-11-20do not segfault in cache generation on mmap failureDavid Kalnischkies
Out of memory and similar circumstanzas could cause MMap::Map to fail and especially the mmap/malloc calls in it. With some additional checking we can avoid segfaults and similar in such situations – at least in theory as if this is a real out of memory everything we do to handle the error could just as well run into a memory problem as well… But at least in theory (if MMap::Map is made to fail always) we can deal with it so good that a user actually never sees a failure (as the cache it tries to load with it fails and is discarded, so that DynamicMMap takes over and a new one is build) instead of segfaulting. Closes: 803417
2015-11-19ignore lost+found in private directory cleanupDavid Kalnischkies
In ce1f3a2c we started warning about failing unlinking, which we consistently do for directories. That isn't a problem as directories usually aren't in the places we do want to clean up – with the potential exeception of "lost+found", so lets ignore it like we ignore our own partial/ subdirectory. Closes: 805424
2015-11-19support setting empty values (sanely) & removing support forDavid Kalnischkies
space-gapping: '-o option= value' That is a very old feature (straight from 1998), but it is super surprising if you try setting empty values and instead get error messages or a non-empty value as the next parameter is treated as the value – which could have been empty, so if for some reason you need a compatible way of setting an empty value try: '-o option="" ""'. I can only guess that the idea was to support '-o option value', but we survived 17 years without it, we will do fine in the future I guess. Similar is the case for '-t= testing' even through '-t testing' existed before and the code even tried to detect mistakes like '-t= -b' … all gone now. Technically that is as its removing a feature replacing it with another a major interface break. In practice I really hope for my and their sanity that nobody was using this; but if for some reaon you do: Remove the space and be done. I found the patch and the bugreport actually only after the fact, but its reassuring that others are puzzled by this as well and hence a thanks is in perfect order here as the patch is practical identical [expect that this one here adds tests and other bonus items]. Thanks: Daniel Hartwig for initial patch. Closes: 693092
2015-11-19do not use _apt for file/copy sources if it isn't world-accessibleDavid Kalnischkies
In 0940230d we started dropping privileges for file (and a bit later for copy, too) with the intend of uniforming this for all methods. The commit message says that the source will likely fail based on the compressors already – and there isn't much secret in the repository content. After all, after apt has run the update everyone can access the content via apt anyway… There are sources through which worked before which are mostly single-deb (and those with the uncompressed files available). The first one being especially surprising for users maybe, so instead of failing, we make it so that apt detects that it can't access a source as _apt and if so doesn't drop (for all sources!) privileges – but we limit this to file/copy, so the uncompress which might be needed will still fail – but that failed before this regression. We display a notice about this, mostly so that if it still fails (e.g. compressed) the user has some idea what is wrong. Closes: 805069
2015-11-05"support" unsigned Release files without hashes againDavid Kalnischkies
This 'ignores' the component Release files you can find in Debian alongside the binary-* directories, which isn't exactly a common usecase, but it worked before, so lets support it again as this isn't worse than a valid Release file which is unsigned. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-11-04wrap every unlink call to check for != /dev/nullDavid Kalnischkies
Unlinking /dev/null is bad, we shouldn't do that. Also, we should print at least a warning if we tried to unlink a file but didn't manage to pull it of (ignoring the case were the file is /dev/null or doesn't exist in the first place). This got triggered by a relatively unlikely to cause problem in pkgAcquire::Worker::PrepareFiles which would while temporary uncompressed files (which are set to keep compressed) figure out that to files are the same and prepare for sharing by deleting them. Bad move. That also shows why not printing a warning is a bad idea as this hide the error for in non-root test runs. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04ensure FileFd doesn't try to open /dev/null as atomic and coDavid Kalnischkies
The wrapping will fail in the best case and actually end up deleting /dev/null in the worst case. Given that there is no point in trying to write atomically to /dev/null as you can't read from it again just ignore these flags if higher level code ends up trying to use them on /dev/null. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04ignore newlines in dpkg-deb control output for installing debsDavid Kalnischkies
Leading or trailing newlines can be confusing for our parser as it expects two newlines to start/stop a new stanza. To solve this the lines we wanna add are printed first, ignore any leading newlines and then add the stanza as provided by dpkg-deb with or without trailing newlines as the parser will look at the first stanza only anyway and removing trailing newlines is considerably harder to do. Closes: 802553
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.
