2016-05-16show globalerrors before asking for confirmationDavid Kalnischkies
Errors cause a kind of automatic no already, but warnings and notices are only displayed at the end of the apt execution even through they could effect the choice of saying yes/no to questions: E.g. if a configuration (file) was ignored you wanted to have an effect or if an external solver you used generated warnings suggesting that the solution might be valid, but bogus non-the-less and similar things. Note that this only moves those messages up to the question if the answer is interactive – not if e.g. -y is used or no question is asked at all so this has an effect only on interactive usage of apt(-get), not script who might be parsing apt output.
2015-09-14avoid using global PendingError to avoid failing too often too soonDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2014-03-13cleanup headers and especially #includes everywhereDavid Kalnischkies
Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems I have with high levels of parallel jobs. Git-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: iwyu (include-what-you-use)
