2015-08-12apt-cache: Modify policy output to use per-version pinsJulian Andres Klode
Also optionally enable old output by setting APT::Policy=0.
2015-08-10just-in-time creation for (implicit) ProvidesDavid Kalnischkies
Expecting the worst is easy to code, but has its disadvantages e.g. by creating package structures which otherwise would have never existed. By creating the provides instead at the time a package structure is added we are well prepared for the introduction of partial architectures, massive amounts of M-A:foreign (and :allowed) and co as far as provides are concerned at least. We have something relatively similar for dependencies already. Many tests are added for both M-A states and the code cleaned to properly support implicit provides for foreign architectures and architectures we 'just' happen to parse. Git-Dch: Ignore
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.
2015-08-10remove the compatibility markers for 4.13 abiDavid Kalnischkies
We aren't and we will not be really compatible again with the previous stable abi, so lets drop these markers (which never made it into a released version) for good as they have outlived their intend already. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10split-up Dependency structDavid Kalnischkies
Having dependency data separated from the link between version/package and the dependency allows use to work on sharing the depdency data a bit as it turns out that many dependencies are in fact duplicates. How many are duplicates various heavily with the sources configured, but for a single Debian release the ballpark is 2 duplicates for each dependency already (e.g. libc6 counts 18410 dependencies, but only 45 unique). Add more releases and the duplicates count only rises to get ~6 for 3 releases. For each architecture a user has configured which given the shear number of dependencies amounts to MBs of duplication. We can cut down on this number, but pay a heavy price for it: In my many releases(3) + architectures(3) test we have a 10% (~ 0.5 sec) increase in cache creationtime, but also 10% less cachesize (~ 10 MB). Further work is needed to rip the whole benefits from this through, so this is just the start. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-08-10apt-cache: Change version pin output to use per-version pinsJulian Andres Klode
2015-06-15hide Translation-* in 'apt-cache policy' outputDavid Kalnischkies
Translation-* files are internally handled as PackageFiles which isn't super nice, but giving them their own struct is a bit overkill so let it be for the moment. They always appeared in the policy output because of this through and now that they are properly linked to a ReleaseFile they even display all the pinning information on them, but they don't contain any packages which could be pinned… No problem, but useless and potentially confusing output. Adding a 'NoPackages' flag which can be set on those files and be used in applications seems like a simple way to fix this display issue.
2015-06-12store Release files data in the CacheDavid Kalnischkies
We used to read the Release file for each Packages file and store the data in the PackageFile struct even through potentially many Packages (and Translation-*) files could use the same data. The point of the exercise isn't the duplicated data through. Having the Release files as first-class citizens in the Cache allows us to properly track their state as well as allows us to use the information also for files which aren't in the cache, but where we know to which Release file they belong (Sources are an example for this). This modifies the pkgCache structs, especially the PackagesFile struct which depending on how libapt users access the data in these structs can mean huge breakage or no visible change. As a single data point: aptitude seems to be fine with this. Even if there is breakage it is trivial to fix in a backportable way while avoiding breakage for everyone would be a huge pain for us. Note that not all PackageFile structs have a corresponding ReleaseFile. In particular the dpkg/status file as well as *.deb files have not. As these have only a Archive property need, the Component property takes over this duty and the ReleaseFile remains zero. This is also the reason why it isn't needed nor particularily recommended to change from PackagesFile to ReleaseFile blindly. Sticking with the earlier is usually the better option.
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.
2015-03-16stop displaying time of build in online helpJérémy Bobbio
As part of the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that apt could not be built reproducibly. One issue is that it uses the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros of the C preprocessor to display the time of build in the online help. We believe this information not to be really useful to users as they can always look at the package data and metadata to figure it out. The attached patch simply removes this information. All non-documentation packages can then be built reproducibly with our current experimental framework. [David: changed the string slightly to be untranslateable as well] Closes: 774342
2014-11-18various small additional tests and testcasesDavid Kalnischkies
Usually they don't provide a lot in terms of what they test, but they help in covering many lines from strictly anecdotal commands (stats, moo) and error messages, so that stuff which really needs to be tested, but isn't is better visible in coverage reports. 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.
2014-11-08guard pkg/grp hashtable creation changesDavid Kalnischkies
The change itself is no problem ABI wise, but the remove of the old undynamic hashtables is, so we bring it back for older abis and happily use the now available free space to backport more recent additions like the dynamic hashtable itself. Git-Dch: Ignore

2014-09-27store source name and version in binary cacheDavid Kalnischkies
Accessing the package records to acquire this information is pretty costly, so that information wasn't used so far in many places. The most noticeable user by far is EDSP at the moment, but there are ideas to change that which this commit tries to enable.
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
2014-09-27count strings more accurately for statsDavid Kalnischkies
So far, only the few strings stored in stringitems were counted, but many more strings are directly inserted into the cache. We account for this now by identifying all these different strings and measure their length. We are still not at the correct size of the cache in 'stats' this way, but we are now again a bit closer.

2014-09-02Use heap to allocate PatternMatch to avoid potential stack overflowMichael Vogt
When apt-cache search with many args (> 130) is given the allocation of PatternMatch on the stack may fail resulting in a segmentation fault. By using the heap the max size is much bigger and we also get a bad_alloc expection instead of a segfault (which we can catch *if* this ever becomes a pratical problem). No test for the crash as its not reproducable with the MALLOC_ settings in framework. Closes: 759612
2014-06-18correct 'apt-cache stats' to include moreDavid Kalnischkies
It still doesn't reflect the size the cache has on the disk compared to what is given as total size (90 vs 103 MB), but by counting all structs in we are at least a bit closer to the reality. Git-Dch: ignore
2014-06-18cleanup datatypes mix used in binary cacheDavid Kalnischkies
We had a wild mixture of (unsigned) int, long and long long here without much sense, so this commit adds a few typedefs to get some sense in the typesystem and ensures that a ID isn't sometimes computed as int, stored as long and compared with a long long… as this could potentially bite us later on as the size of the archive only increases over time.

2013-07-18fix 'apt-cache search' crash with missing descriptionDavid Kalnischkies
Beside the earlier fixed 'apt-cache show', 'showpkg' and 'search' deal with descriptions. 'showpkg' was fixed by fixing the cache generation for 'show', but 'search' still segfaulted. On the upside, it doesn't segfault any longer, on the downside, if a package has no description at all (aka: not in the Packages file and not in a Translation-* file) the package can't be found with 'search', even if we search only by name. That is a shortcoming in the code, but fixing it means rewriting it completely for dubious gain at best. So this commit just skips packages without a description and is done. Closes: 647590
2013-07-18skip all Description fields in apt-cache, not just firstDavid Kalnischkies
Given a Packages file like: […] Description: foo bar baz moo moo moo Multi-Arch: foreign Description-md5: 97e204a9f4ad8c681dbd54ec7c505251 […] We have to display the Multi-Arch flag field as well as the fields after the Description-md5, but not this field itself, as we already have one printed alongside the Description we display. Closes: 717254
2013-06-20handle missing "Description" in apt-cache showDavid Kalnischkies
do not blindly assume that all packages stanzas have a "Description:" field in 'apt-cache show' as well as in the cache creation itself. We instead assume now that if the stanza has a Description, it will not be the first field as we look out for "\nDescription" to take care of MD5sum as well as (maybe ignored) translated Descriptions embedded in the package stanza. Closes: #712435
2013-06-09fix support for multiple patterns in apt-cache searchDavid Kalnischkies
