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.

This was discussed a while ago on #debian-apt and now that I see myself
making this mistake lets bite the bullet and fix it in the easy way out
version: Using a new name which fits with a similar named setter and
deprecate the old method instead of 'hostily' changing API.
Closes: #803471

Removals in the acquire progress can be pretty important, so a failure
should be silently ignored, so we wrap our unlink call in a slightly
more forgiving wrapper checking things.

Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make
it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for
now.

-q is for logging and -qqq (old -qq) basically kills every output expect
errors, so there should be a way of declaring a middleground in which
the output of e.g. 'update' isn't as verbose, but still shows some
things. The test framework was actually making use of by accident as it
ignored the quiet level in output setup for apt before.
Eventually we should figure out some better quiet levels for all tools…

All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to
move the common parts into -private to have the real differences more
visible.

That is one huge commit with busy work only: Help messages used to be
one big translateable string, which is a pain for translators and hard
to reuse for us. This change there 'explodes' this single string into
new string for each documented string trying hard to split up the
translated messages as well. This actually restores many translations as
previously adding a single command made all of the bug message fuzzy.
The splitup also highlighted that its easy to forget a line, duplicate
one and similar stuff.

Especially with apt now, it can be useful to set an option only for apt
and not for apt-get. Using a binary-specific subtree which is merged into
the root seems like a simple enough trick to achieve this.
|
|
The manpage is also slightly updated to work better as a central hub to
push people from all angles into the right directions without writting a
book disguised as an error message.

Insecure (aka unsigned) repositories are bad, period. We want to get
right of them finally and as a first step we are printing scary
warnings. This is already done, this commit just changes the messages to
be more consistent and prevents them from being displayed if
authenticity is guaranteed some other way (as indicated with
trusted=yes).
The idea is to first print the pure fact like "repository isn't signed"
as a warning (and later as an error), while giving an explaination in a
immediately following notice (which is displayed only in quiet level 0:
so in interactive use, not in scripts and alike).

The main part is refactoring through to allow hiding the magic needed to
support .deb files in deeper layers of libapt so that frontends have
less exposure to Debian specific classes like debDebPkgFileIndex.

Showing just "Get: [1234 B]" looks very strange, so we now print the
filename and as usual the package name, version and architecture.

Commit 653ef26c70dc9c0e2cbfdd4e79117876bb63e87d broke the camels back in
sofar that everything works in terms of our internal use of copy:/, but
external use is completely destroyed. This is kinda the reverse of what
happened in "parallel" in the sid branch, where external use was mostly
fine, internal and external exploded on the GzipIndexes option.
We fix this now by rewriting our internal use by letting copy:/ only do
what the name suggests it does: Copy files and not uncompress them
on-the-fly. Then we teach copy and the uncompressors how to deal with
/dev/null and use it as destination file in case we don't want to store
the uncompressed files on disk.

As we have support for 'hold', we need support for undoing a hold which
in effect means that we implemented most other states as well, just that
they weren't exposed in the interface directly so far.
|
|
We had this code lying around in apt-mark for a while now, but other
frontends need this (and similar) functionality as well, so its high
time that we provide a public interface in libapt for this stuff.
|
|
We have a few places and there will be a few more still where we have to
call dpkg to detect/set certain features or settings. Centralizing the
calling infrastructure now seems like a good idea before we add another.
|

As usual by now, not all containers wrapped by the cacheset containers
support all methods, like push_back now, but they fail on use of these
unusable methods only.
Would be nice to not expose these methods for unsupporting containers at
all, but that means either a lot of classes or a lot of std::enable_if
magic, which seems like too big work for this small wrapper for now.

Technically an abi-break as we change a template parameter to
std::iterator for this, but this class is empty in all instances and
just causes the right typedefs to be set – which were incorrect as
detected by std::stable_partition as its implementation uses ::pointer
and needs also a operator* implementation.
In practice CacheSets have no external users (yet) and the difference is
visible only at compile time (which was an error before and now works),
not while linking.
The changes to apt-mark are functionally identical to the code before,
just that we use a std:: algorithm now instead of trying hard on our
own.

Some codepaths need to check if the system (in our case usually dpkg)
supports MultiArch or not. We had copy-pasted the check so far into
these paths, but having it as a system check is better for reusability.

Since gcc 4.9, the API for erase slightly changed. In
commit 3dddcdf2432e78f37c74d8c76c2c519a8d935ab2 the
existing checks for __cplusplus where changed to
check the gcc version, as the __cplusplus check
did nothing, because gcc 4.8 already provided the
standard value in there.
Fix the code to check for the gcc version in two
more places, and change the existing checks to
use a convenience macro.

The acquire system actually uses usec pulse intervals, so the
previous value was correct (500ms) whereas the new value is
now 5s.
It's a bit unfortunate that the two systems use different units
for pulse intervals, but probably not much we can do about it.
This partially reverts commit eaf21c2144fa8dc4be8581dc69cf88cb38e30ce2.

We uses a small trick to implement the fallback: We make it so, that
by-hash is a special compression algorithm and apt already knows how to
deal with fallback between compression algorithms.
The drawback with implementing this fallback is that a) we are guessing
again and more importantly b) by-hash is only tried for the first
compression algorithm we want to acquire, not for all as before – but
flipping between by-hash and well-known for each compression algorithm
seems to be not really worth it as it seems unlikely that there will
actually be mirrors who only mirror a subset of compressioned files, but
have by-hash enabled.
The user-experience is the usual fallback one: You see "Ign" lines in
the apt update output. The fallback is implemented as a transition
feature, so a (potentially huge) mirror network doesn't need a flagday.
It is not meant as a "someday we might" or "we don't, but some of our
mirrors might" option – we want to cut down on the 'Ign' lines front so
that they become meaningful – if we wanted to spam everyone with them, we
could enable by-hash by default for all repositories…
sources.list and config options are better suited for this.
Closes: 798919

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.

The previous implementation was still a bit unstable in terms of failing
at times. Lets try if we have more luck with this one.

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.

In private-install.cc we call MarkInstall with FromUser=true, which sets
the bit accordingly, but while applying the EDSP solution we call mark
install on all packages with FromUser=false, so MarkInstall believes
this install is an automatic one and sets it to auto – so that a new package
which is explicitely installed via an external solver is marked as auto
and is hence also up for garbage collection in a following call.
Ideally MarkInstall wouldn't reset it, but the detection is hard to do
without regressing in other cases – and ideally ideally MarkInstall
wouldn't deal with the autobit at all – so we work around this on the
calling side for now.
|
|
The parser creates a preferences as well as an extended states file
based on the EDSP scenario file, which isn't the most efficient way of
dealing with this as thes text files have to be parsed again by another
layer of the code, but it needs the least changes and works good enough
for now. The 'apt' solver is in the end just a test solver like dump.

These assumptions were once true, but they aren't anymore, so what is
supposed to be a speed up is effectively a slowdown [not that it would
be noticible].
Usage of SingleArchFindPkg was nuked in a stable update already as the
included assumption was actually harmful btw, which is why we should get
right of other 'non-harmful' but still untrue assumptions while we can.

Pipes and such have no good Size value, but we still want to copy from
it maybe and we don't really need size as we can just as well read as
long as we get data out of a file to copy it.
