2016-01-02Add new APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages optionMichael Vogt
This option controls if downloaded packages should be kept after a successful install or if they should be deleted. The default for "apt-get" is that they are kept (just like before). However the default for "apt" is that they get deleted. Closes: #160743
2015-11-29use function pointers instead of weak symbols for cmdline parsingDavid Kalnischkies
Passing function pointers around while working on this was very icky, but if weak symbols are too much to ask for… Reverts "do not use "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" during the build to avoid breakage" aka a5fc9be36211a290a7abc3ca2a8bf98943bc1f57.
2015-11-28Revert "Revert "appease adequate with some weak symbols for -private""Julian Andres Klode
This reverts commit 7ac9386cb6e272625490fcf3e8183b45e28bbc43.
2015-11-28Revert "appease adequate with some weak symbols for -private"Julian Andres Klode
This reverts commit 28f24d3dad1844af316337d565ba2ebc11c8ce97. This fails on Ubuntu as they build with -Bsymbolic-functions.
2015-11-27appease adequate with some weak symbols for -privateDavid Kalnischkies
Closes: #806422
2015-11-04revamp all tools help messagesDavid Kalnischkies
The general idea is: A small paragraph on the tool itself as a description, a list of the most used (!= all) commands available in the tool, a remark where to find more information on the tool and its commands (aka: in the manpage) and finally a common block referring to even more manpages. In exchange options are completely omitted from the output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them sanely in this context.
2015-11-04show version and type in "apt (r)depends"David Kalnischkies
We can't for compatibility reasons in apt-cache, but apt can. Closes: 218995
2015-11-04deal with --version more centrallyDavid Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04move apts cmdline helper type into -privateDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04generate commands array after config is loadedDavid Kalnischkies
This ensures that location strings loaded from a location specified via configuration (Dir::Locale) effect the help messages for commands. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04deduplicate main methodsDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04split up help messages for simpler reuseDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04disable updating insecure repositories in apt by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
apt is an interactive command and the reasons we haven't this option set for everything is mostly in keeping compatibility for a little while longer to allow scripts to be changed if need be.
2015-11-04move 'search' implementations as wellDavid Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04centralize 'show' implementation of apt and apt-cacheDavid Kalnischkies
The show commands have different styles in both binaries as the audience is potentially very different, but that doesn't mean we need to separate the implementation especially as they are slightly similar. This also allows us to switch between the different show versions at runtime via an option. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04add binary-specific options via Binary scopeDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2015-11-04allow all dpkg selections to be set via apt-mark and libaptDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2015-10-20Allow -i and -u as aliases for installed and upgradable in listJulian Andres Klode
This makes things much easier to use
2015-08-18Add support for "apt-cache showsrc --only-source srcpkgname"Michael Vogt
Thanks: Steve Slangasek for the suggestion Closes: 695633
2015-08-14Make auto-remove and auto-clean aliases for the versions without -Julian Andres Klode
Some people type them instead of autoremove and autoclean, so make them happy. Closes: #274159 Makes-Happy: Ansgar
2015-08-14Replace --force-yes by various options starting with --allowJulian Andres Klode
This enables more fine grained control over such exceptions.
2015-08-13Accept --upgradeable as synonym for --upgradableJulian Andres Klode
It's a tiny diff, so why not? But no need to document it. Closes: #787846
2015-08-10hide implicit deps in apt-cache again by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
Before MultiArch implicits weren't a thing, so they were hidden by default by definition. Adding them for MultiArch solved many problems, but having no reliable way of detecting which dependency (and provides) is implicit or not causes problems everytime we want to output dependencies without confusing our observers with unneeded implementation details. The really notworthy point here is actually that we keep now a better record of how a dependency came to be so that we can later reason about it more easily, but that is hidden so deep down in the library internals that change is more the problems it solves than the change itself.
2015-08-10rename 'apt-get files' to 'apt-get indextargets'David Kalnischkies
'files' is a bit too generic as a name for a command usually only used programmatically (if at all) by developers, so instead of "wasting" this generic name for this we use "indextargets" which is actually the name of the datastructure the displayed data is stored in. Along with this rename the config options are renamed accordingly.
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.
2015-03-16fix another d(e)select-upgrade typoDavid Kalnischkies
You would think one instance of this is enough, but 80e8d923ebc8d5f3f84eb3f922b28ca309c25026 wasn't as globally applied as the commit message suggested… LP: #1399037
2014-11-09streamline display of --help in all toolsDavid Kalnischkies
By convention, if I run a tool with --help or --version I expect it to exit successfully with the usage, while if I do call it wrong (like without any parameters) I expect the usage message shown with a non-zero exit.
2014-10-20reenable support for -s (and co) in apt-get sourceDavid Kalnischkies
The conversion to accept only relevant options for commands has forgotten another one, so adding it again even through the usecase might very well be equally good served by --print-uris. Closes: 742578
2014-10-01Use Acquire::Allow{InsecureRepositories,DowngradeToInsecureRepositories}Michael Vogt
The configuration key Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories controls if apt allows loading of unsigned repositories at all. The configuration Acquire::AllowDowngradeToInsecureRepositories controls if a signed repository can ever become unsigned. This should really never be needed but we provide it to avoid having to mess around in /var/lib/apt/lists if there is a use-case for this (which I can't think of right now).
2014-09-07support regular expressions in 'apt search'David Kalnischkies
apt-cache search supported this since ever and in the code for apt was a fixme indicating this should be added here as well, so here we go.
2014-04-16support dist-upgrade options in full-upgradeDavid Kalnischkies
dist-upgrade is supposed to be an alias for full-upgrade in apt, but dist-upgrade was the only command recognized of the two in the option and flags recognition code.

2014-03-13cleanup headers and especially #includes everywhereDavid Kalnischkies

2014-03-13warning: no previous declaration for foobar() [-Wmissing-declarations]David Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: gcc -Wmissing-declarations
2014-03-13support DEB_BUILD_PROFILES and -P for build profilesDavid Kalnischkies
Inspired by the rest of the patch in 661537, but abstract the parsing of various ways of setting the build profiles more so it can potentially be reused and all apt parts have the same behaviour. Especially config options, cmdline options and environment will not be combined as proposed as this isn't APTs usual behaviour and dpkg doesn't do it either, so one overrides the other as it normally does.

2014-01-24add "apt full-upgrade" and tweak "apt upgrade"Michael Vogt
There is a new "apt full-upgrade" that performs a apt-get dist-upgrade. "apt dist-upgrade" is still supported as a alias. The "apt upgrade" code is changed so that it mirrors the behavior of "apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs" and also honors "apt uprade --no-new-pkgs".
