2014-01-15integrate Anthonys rred with POC for client-side mergeDavid Kalnischkies
Providing the benefits of both without the downsides :) (ABI breaks or external dependencies) For this Anthonys rred is equipped with: - magic-filename-pickup of patches rather than explicit messages - use of FileFd instead of FILE* to get on-the-fly uncompress of the gzip compressed pdiff patches The acquire code in turn stops checking for apt-file's helper as our own rred is now clever enough for our needs.
2014-01-15reenable unlimited pdiff files downloadDavid Kalnischkies
In 51fc6def77edfb1f429a48e5169519e9e05a759b we limited the amount of pdiff to be downloaded per index to 20. This was a compromise between not letting it go overboard (becoming even slower) and not using bandwidth needlessly. Now that with the POC the speed reason is gone it makes sense again to download as much files as we possible can via pdiff to save bandwidth (and possibly even time). It also avoids problems with the limit in cases we were we deal with a server merged archieve as this limit assumes a strict patch progression.

2013-12-13implement POC client-side merging of pdiffs via apt-fileDavid Kalnischkies
The idea of pdiffs is to avoid downloading the hole file by patching the existing index. This works very well, but becomes slow if a lot of patches needs to be applied to reconstruct an up-to-date index and in recent years more and more dinstall (or similar) runs are executed creating more and more pdiffs in the same amount of time, so pdiffs became less useful. The solution is simple: Reduce the amount of patches (which are very small) which need to be applied on top of the index we have available (which is usually pretty big). This can be done in two ways: Either merge the patches on the server-side so that the client has to download only one patch or the patches are all downloaded and merged on the client-side. The first needs a client who is doing one step at a time who can also skip patches if it needs (APT supports this for a long time now). The later is implemented by this commit, but depends on the server NOT merging the patches and the patches being in a strict order in which no patch is skipped. This is traditionally the case for dak, but other repository creators support merging – e.g. reprepro (which helpfully adds a flag indicating that the patches are merged). To support both or even mixes a client needs more information which isn't available for now. This POC uses the external diffindex-rred included in apt-file to do the heavy lifting of merging & applying all patches in one pass, hence to test this feature apt-file needs to be installed.

apport reporting is still disabled by default, but it is available in Debian/experimental at the moment and a diff is not a good idea anyway.
2013-11-30truncating /dev/null to zero is always successfulDavid Kalnischkies
Calling truncate on /dev/null can happen by the download methods if they are instructed to download a file to /dev/null (as testcases are only interested in the status code, but do not support HEAD requests yet) So just ignore truncate calls on the /dev/null file as it is always empty anyway, so truncating to zero isn't a problem.
