I probably missed that when I did the usability work. But better
late than never.

This allows passing compressing the output. The compressor must
be a compressor name, extension, or an extension without the
leading dot.

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.

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

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.

We can't for compatibility reasons in apt-cache, but apt can.

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.

This ensures that location strings loaded from a location specified via
configuration (Dir::Locale) effect the help messages for commands.

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.

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.

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.

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.
|
|
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.

It's a tiny diff, so why not? But no need to document it.

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.

'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.
|
|
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

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.

You would think one instance of this is enough, but
80e8d923ebc8d5f3f84eb3f922b28ca309c25026 wasn't as
globally applied as the commit message suggested…

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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".

Display only the candidate version with "apt show pkg" but show
