2016-02-11use local changelog from /usr/share/doc if possibleDavid Kalnischkies
If pkgAcqChangelog is told to acquire the changelog for a version it will check first if this version is installed on the disk and if so will use the local changelog in /usr/share/doc (possibily/likely gz compressed) instead of downloading the file from the web. An option is provided to disable this, which is enabled by default for the Ubuntu vendor as they truncate the local changelogs – and for apts --print-uris action.
2016-02-10get dpkg lock in build-dep if cache was invalid againDavid Kalnischkies
Regression introduced in a249b3e6fd798935a02b769149c9791a6fa6ef16, which in the case of an invalid cache would build the first part unlocked and later pick up the (still unlocked) cache for further processing, so the system got never locked and apt would end up complaining about being unable to release the lock at shutdown. The far more common case of having a valid cache worked as expected and hence covered up the problem – especially as tests who would have noticed it are simulations only, which do not lock. Closes: 814139 Reported-By: Balint Reczey <balint@balintreczey.hu> Reported-By: Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de> on IRC
2016-02-03avoid building dependency tree in 'source' commandDavid Kalnischkies
We don't need the dependencies for obvious reasons and we don't need the candidate version either, so building a pkgDepCache is wasted effort, which we can stop doing now that build-dep cleared the path.
2016-02-03use pkgCache::VS instead of pkgDepCache::VS()David Kalnischkies
The later just calls the earlier, but the later needs the fullblown dependency cache to be initialized, which is a very costly operation and isn't done anymore that early in the run as we would need to throw away and rebuild it again after we got all the information about source pkgs. As we end up with a nullptr for the pkgDepCache, we use a slightly longer calling convention to make sure that we use the pkgCache directly, avoiding nullptr induced segfaults and costly operations.

2016-02-02Try avoiding loading long package descriptionAdrian Wielgosik
It's a fairly expensive call and it's called on every package, even though it's usually only used when we're interested in a small number of packages. Long description is currently only shown by this function when using `apt search X --full`. On my PC, this patch speeds up `apt list` by roughly 20% and `apt list --installed` by 1-2%.
2016-01-26get sources for packages in multiple releases againDavid Kalnischkies
In 321213f0dcdcdaab04e01663e7a047b261400c9c Andreas Cadhalpun corrected the incorrect overriding of earlier better-fitting results with later (semi-)matches – but that broke the case in which packages are in multiple releases in the same version (and the user has both releases configured). Closes: 812497
2016-01-25reimplement build-dep via apts normal resolverDavid Kalnischkies
build-dep was implemented by parsing the build-dependencies of a package and figuring out which packages to install/remove based on this. That means that for the first level of dependencies build-dep was implementing its very own resolver with all the benefits (aka: bugs) this gives us for not using the existing resolver for all levels. Making this work involves generating a dummy binary package with fitting Depends and Conflicts and as we can't create them out of thin air the cache generation needs to be involved so we end up writing a Packages file which we want to parse – after we have parsed the other Packages files already. With .dsc/.deb files we could add them before we started parsing anything. With a bit of care we can avoid generating too much data we have to throw away again (as many parts assume that e.g. the count of packages doesn't change midair), so that on a speed front there shouldn't be much of a difference, but output can be slightly confusing as if we have a completely valid cache on disk the "Reading package lists... Done" is printed two times – but apt is pretty quick about it in that case. Closes: #137560, #444930, #489911, #583914, #728317, #812173

2016-01-11Sort the list of sources to be built and linkedMattia Rizzolo
Fix reproducibility issue due to readdir() order by sorting the list of sources to be built and linked. [jak@debian.org: Added summary and fixed typo] Closes: #810509
2016-01-11search: Handle packages without descriptionJulian Andres Klode
If a package has no description, we would crash in search. While this should not happen, there seem to be some weird cases where it does. A safer way might be to make the whole parser thing safe against this, so pkgRecords::Lookup(Desc.FileList()) works and returns a parser where all values are empty. This would also fix all other instances of this bug, if there are any. Closes: #810622
2016-01-07apt-helper: cat-file: Add -C/--compress optionJulian Andres Klode
This allows passing compressing the output. The compressor must be a compressor name, extension, or an extension without the leading dot.
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

2015-12-23ensure we got a lock in clean operationDavid Kalnischkies
We try to acquired the locks, but we didn't stop if we failed to get it… Closes: 808561
2015-12-14non-existing directories don't need to be cleanedDavid Kalnischkies
Trying to clean up directories which do not exist seems rather silly if you think about it, so let apt think about it and stop it. Depends a bit on the caller if this is fixing anything for them as they might try to acquire a lock or doing other clever things as apt does. Closes: 807477
2015-12-01require explicit paths to dsc/control as we do for deb filesDavid Kalnischkies
Otherwise a user is subject to unexpected content-injection depending on which directory she happens to start apt in. This also cleans up the code requiring less implementation details in build-dep which is always good. Technically, this is an ABI break as we override virtual methods, but that they weren't overridden was a mistake resulting in pure classes, which shouldn't be pure, so they were unusable – and as they are new in 1.1 nobody is using them yet (and hopefully ever as they are borderline implementation details). Closes: 806693
2015-12-01deal with configured build-essential firstDavid Kalnischkies
There is no need to check configured build-essentials for each package, doing it once at the start ought to be enough. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-12-01split build-dep satisfier loop out of DoBuildDepDavid Kalnischkies

2015-11-29do not override exact targetrelease matches with lesser matchesAndreas Cadhalpun
The relevant testcases are in test/integration/test-apt-get-source. There is a test for #731853 that is supposed to "ensure that apt will pick the higher version number" of 0.0.1 (stable) and 0.1 (stable). However, this works by pure chance, as simply reversing the order of the two insertsource lines makes the test fail. So #731853 isn't really fixed, yet. Actually, that's related to the problem I reported, as the underlying issue for both is the same: In the FindSrc function apt chooses a new 'best hit', if either * there is a target release and it matches the release of the package, * or the version of the package is higher than the last best hit. Consider having 1.0 (stable), 2.0 (unstable) and 1.5 (unstable), in this order. Looking for the version in stable, apt first selects 1.0, because the release matches the target release, but then subsequently selects 2.0, because the version is higher. Looking for the version in unstable, apt first selects 2.0, because the release matches the target release, but then subsequently selects 1.5, because the release also matches the target release. The correct way would be to choose a new 'best hit', if either * there is a target release and it matches the release of the package, * or there is no target release and the version is higher than the last best hit.

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.

2015-11-21show potentially arch-qualified fullname in 'apt show'David Kalnischkies
We do not show the architecture as a dedicated field as this is rather technical information, but as packagename it makes sense to show the architecture as other part of apt will refer to it in this way.

2015-11-05drop privileges in copy:// method as we do for file://David Kalnischkies
Continueing on the track of dropping privileges in all methods, lets drop it in copy, too, as the reasoning for it is very similar to file and the interaction between the too quiet interesting as copy kinda surfed as a fallback for file not being able to read the file. Both now show a better error message as well as it was previously claiming to have a hashsum mismatch, given that it couldn't read the file. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04wrap every unlink call to check for != /dev/nullDavid Kalnischkies
Unlinking /dev/null is bad, we shouldn't do that. Also, we should print at least a warning if we tried to unlink a file but didn't manage to pull it of (ignoring the case were the file is /dev/null or doesn't exist in the first place). This got triggered by a relatively unlikely to cause problem in pkgAcquire::Worker::PrepareFiles which would while temporary uncompressed files (which are set to keep compressed) figure out that to files are the same and prepare for sharing by deleting them. Bad move. That also shows why not printing a warning is a bad idea as this hide the error for in non-root test runs. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04sanify API to get 'the' candidate versionDavid Kalnischkies
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
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
2015-11-04hidden support more apt-get/apt-cache commands in aptDavid Kalnischkies
apt is supposed to be a user-friendly interface, so while these commands are usually poweruser material and therefore do not need to be shown in general introduction manpages/help messages its of no use to not allow users to use them. This includes clean, autoclean, build-dep, source, download, changelog, depends, rdepends and showsrc – it doesn't include more non-interactive commands like dump or xvcg as those are usually used by scripts if at all. Closes: 778234, 780700, 781237

2015-11-04move apts cmdline helper type into -privateDavid Kalnischkies

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
2015-11-04new quiet level -qq for apt to hide progress outputDavid Kalnischkies
-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…
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.
2015-11-04suggest 'apt autoremove' to get right of unneeded packagesDavid Kalnischkies
The bugreport is more conservative in asking for a conditional, but given that this is a message intended to be read by users to be run by users we should suggest using a command intended to be used by users. And while we are at, add sudo to the message – conditional of course. Closes: 801571
2015-11-04support .deb files in upgrade operations as wellDavid Kalnischkies
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.
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.
