2015-08-10disable locking even for root in --simulateDavid Kalnischkies
Six years ago in 55a5a46c235a30bf024fb2301066553953701cc5 apt-get learned to disable locking if run as normal user and show a message. Helmut Grohne rightly suggests on IRC now that there isn't much point in getting the locks for root either as the output isn't in any way more authoritive than without locking given that after this call the lock is freed and any action can sneak in before we make the next call. So we exchange no benefit for the disavantage of blocking real calls. This can be especially confusing with the aliases --no-act and --just-print. We do not print the message we print for users through as the non-root users can be confronted with a lot more difference via unreadable files.
2015-08-10add c++11 override marker to overridden methodsDavid Kalnischkies
C++11 adds the 'override' specifier to mark that a method is overriding a base class method and error out if not. We hide it in the APT_OVERRIDE macro to ensure that we keep compiling in pre-c++11 standards. Reported-By: clang-modernize -add-override -override-macros Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10prepare cachesets for -std=c++11David Kalnischkies
The "problem" is mostly in the erase() definitions as they slightly conflict and in pre-c++11 are not uniformly in different containers. By differenciating based on the standard we can provide erase() methods for both standards – and as the method is in a template and inline we don't need to worry about symbols here. The rest is adding wrappings for the new forward_list and unordered_set containers and correcting our iterators to use the same trait as the iterator they are wrapping instead of having all of them be simple forward iterators. This allows the use of specialized algorithms which are picked based on iterator_traits and implementing them all is simple to do as we can declare all methods easily and only if they are called they will generate errors (if the underlying iterator doesn't support these). Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10fix memory leaks reported by -fsanitizeDavid Kalnischkies
Various small leaks here and there. Nothing particularily big, but still good to fix. Found by the sanitizers while running our testcases. Reported-By: gcc -fsanitize Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-15condense parallel requests with the same hashes to oneDavid Kalnischkies
It shouldn't be too common, but sometimes people have multiple mirrors in the sources or otherwise repositories with the same content. Now that we gracefully can handle multiple requests to the same URI, we can also fold multiple requests with the same expected hashes into one. Note that this isn't trying to find oppertunities for merging, but just merges if it happens to encounter the oppertunity for it. This is most obvious in the new testcase actually as it needs to delay the action to give the acquire system enough time to figure out that they can be merged.
2015-06-15show item ID in Hit, Ign and Err lines as wellDavid Kalnischkies
Again, consistency is the main sellingpoint here, but this way it is now also easier to explain that some files move through different stages and lines are printed for them hence multiple times: That is a bit hard to believe if the number is changing all the time, but now that it keeps consistent.
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.
2015-05-11rewrite all TFRewrite instances to use the new pkgTagSection::WriteDavid Kalnischkies
While it is mostly busywork to rewrite all instances it actually fixes bugs as the data storage used by the new method is std::string rather than a char*, the later mostly created by c_str() from a std::string which the caller has to ensure keeps in scope – something apt-ftparchive actually didn't ensure and relied on copy-on-write behavior instead which c++11 forbids and hence the new default gcc abi doesn't use it.
2015-04-10add a simple unit test for acquire progressDavid Kalnischkies
This isn't testing much of the 'complex' parts, but its better than nothing for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-04-10reimplement the last uses of sprintfDavid Kalnischkies
Working with strings c-style is complicated and error-prune, so by converting to c++ style we gain some simplicity and avoid buffer overflows by later extensions. Git-Dch: Ignore
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
2014-11-09use the same code to detect quiet setting in all toolsDavid Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore
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.
2014-11-08use a abi version check similar to the gcc checkDavid Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-10-23chown finished partial files earlierDavid Kalnischkies
partial files are chowned by the Item baseclass to let the methods work with them. Now, this baseclass is also responsible for chowning the files back to root instead of having various deeper levels do this. The consequence is that all overloaded Failed() methods now call the Item::Failed base as their first step. The same is done for Done(). The effect is that even in partial files usually don't belong to _apt anymore, helping sneakernets and reducing possibilities of a bad method modifying files not belonging to them. The change is supported by the framework not only supporting being run as root, but with proper permission management, too, so that privilege dropping can be tested with them.
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
2014-10-15check for available space, excluding root reserved blocksDavid Kalnischkies
We are checking the space requirements for ages, but the check uses the free blocks count, which includes the blocks reserved for usage by root. Now that we use an unprivileged user it has no access to these blocks anymore – and more importantly these blocks are a reserve, they shouldn't be used by apt without special encouragement by the user as it would be bad to have dpkg run out of diskspace and maintainerscripts like man-db skip certain actions if not enough space is available freely.
2014-10-15don't drop privileges if _apt has not enough rightsDavid Kalnischkies
Privilege dropping breaks download/source/changelog commands as they require the _apt user to have write permissions in the current directory, which is e.g. the case in /tmp, but not in /root, so we disable the privilege dropping if we deal with such a directory based on idea and code by Michael Vogt. The alternative would be to download always to a temp directory and move it then done, but this breaks partial file support. To resolve this, we could move to one of our partial/ directories, but this would require a lock which would block root from using two of these commands in parallel. As both seems unacceptable we instead let the user choose what to do: Either a directory is setupped for _apt, downloading as root is accepted or – which is potentially even better – an unprivileged user is used for the commands.
2014-10-07don't show ErrorText for Ign by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
Some distributions (or repositories) do not have as much "Ign-discipline" as I would like to, so that could be pretty distracting for our users if enabled by default. It is handy for testcases though. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-10-07display errortext for all Err as well as Ign logsDavid Kalnischkies
consistently using Item::Failed in all specializec classes helps setting up some information bits otherwise unset, so some errors had an empty reason as an error. Ign is upgraded to display the error message we ignored to further help in understanding what happens.
2014-10-07ensure partial dirs are 0700 and owned by _apt:rootDavid Kalnischkies
Reworks the API involved in creating and setting up the fetcher to be a bit more pleasent to look at and work with as e.g. an empty string for no lock isn't very nice. With the lock we can also stop creating all our partial directories "just in case". This way we can also be a bit more aggressive with the partial directory itself as with a lock, we know we will gone need it.
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).

2014-09-28replace c-string Mode with c++-string ActiveSubprocessDavid Kalnischkies
A long-lasting FIXME in the acquire code points out the problem that we e.g. for decompressors assign c-string representations of c++-strings to the Mode variable, which e.g. cppcheck points out as very bad. In practice, nothing major happens as the c++-strings do not run out of scope until Mode would do, but that is bad style and fragile, so the obvious proper fix is to use a c++ string for storage to begin with. The slight complications stems from the fact that progress reporting code in frontends potentially uses Mode and compares it with NULL, which can't be done with std::string, so instead of just changing the type we introduce a new variable and deprecate the old one. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27adapt to the new CacheSetHelper APIDavid Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27rework cachesets API to allow future extensionDavid Kalnischkies
The introduction of Fnmatch showed that each new selector would require multiple new virtual methods in the CacheSetHelper to work correctly, which isn't that great. We now flip to a single virtual method which handles all cases separated by an enum – as new enum values can be added without an ABI break. Great care was taken to make old code work with the new way of organisation, which means in return that you might be bombarded with deprecation warnings now if you don't adapt, but code should still compile and work as before as can be seen in apt itself with this commit. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27mark pkg(All|Dist)Upgrade as deprecatedDavid Kalnischkies
The comment above their definition marks them already as such, so this is only a formalisation of the deprecation and fixes the occurances we have in our own code together with removing a magic number. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27fix progress output for (dist-)upgrade calculationDavid Kalnischkies
Previously, we had a start and a done of the calculation printed by higher-level code, but this got intermixed by progress reporting from an external solver or the output of autoremove code… The higherlevel code is now only responsible for instantiating a progress object of its choosing (if it wants progress after all) and the rest will be handled by the upgrade code. Either it is used to show the progress of the external solver or the internal solver will give some hints about its overall progress. The later isn't really a proper progress as it will jump forward after each substep, but that is at least a bit better than before without any progress indication. Fixes also the 'strange' non-display of this progress line in -q=1, while all others are shown, which is reflected by all testcase changes.
2014-09-27deprecate Pkg->Name in favor of Grp->NameDavid Kalnischkies
They both store the same information, so this field just takes up space in the Package struct for no good reason. We mark it "just" as deprecated instead of instantly removing it though as it isn't misleading like Section was and is potentially used in the wild more often.

2014-09-09don't call pager in non-terminals for changelogDavid Kalnischkies
Most pagers are nice and default to running non-interactively if they aren't connected to a terminal and we relied on that. On ci.debian.net the configured pager is printing a header out of nowhere though, so if we are printing to a non-terminal we call "cat" instead. In the rework we also "remove" the dependency on sensible-utils in sofar as we call some alternatives if calling the utils fail. This seems to be the last problem preventing a "PASS" status on ci.debian.net, so we close the associated bugreport. Closes: 755040
2014-09-07make GetLocalitySortedVersionSet more genericDavid Kalnischkies
No reason in and of by itself at the moment, but prepares for the goal of having 'apt search' and 'apt-cache search' using the same code now that they at least support the same stuff. The 'apt' code is just a multitude slower at the moment… Git-Dch: Ignore

2014-09-07use a format string in ListSingleVersionDavid Kalnischkies
The method already deals with a format string, but had an else path doing a hardcoded format as well. This is changed now to use the same code for both - the format in the second case is still fixed though. Git-Dch: Ignore

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.

2014-09-05Fix incorrect upgradable listing in "apt list" (thanks to Michael Musenbrock)Michael Vogt
The "apt list" command was using only the pkgDepCache but not the pkgPolicy to figure out if a package is upgradable. This lead to incorrect display of upgradable package when the user used the policy to pin-down packages. Thanks to Michael Musenbrock for the initial patch. Closes: #753297
