First of, the temporary directory we download the changelog to needs to
be owned by _apt, but that also means that we don't need to check if we
could/should drop privs as the download happens to a dedicated tempdir
and only after that it is moved to its final location by a privileged user.

Switch to std::unique_ptr, as this is safer than SPtr.

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.

Further abstracting our new ShowList allows to use it for containers of
strings as well giving us the option to implement an or-groups display
for the recommends and suggests lists which is a nice trick given that
it also helps with migrating the last remaining other cases of old
ShowList.

Housekeeping. This used to be embedded in apt-get directly, then moved
to into our (then new) private lib and now header and code get a proper
separation.

'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.

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.

indexRecords was used to parse the Release file – mostly the hashes –
while metaIndex deals with downloading the Release file, storing all
indexes coming from this release and … parsing the Release file, but
this time mostly for the other fields.
That wasn't a problem in metaIndex as this was done in the type specific
subclass, but indexRecords while allowing to override the parsing method
did expect by default a specific format.
APT isn't really supporting different types at the moment, but this is
a violation of the abstraction we have everywhere else and, which is the
actual reason for this merge: Options e.g. coming from the sources.list
come to metaIndex naturally, which needs to wrap them up and bring them
into indexRecords, so the acquire system is told about it as they don't
get to see the metaIndex, but they don't really belong in indexRecords
as this is just for storing data loaded from the Release file… the
result is a complete mess.
I am not saying it is a lot prettier after the merge, but at least
adding new options is now slightly easier and there is just one place
responsible for parsing the Release file. That can't hurt.

We support arch= for a while, now we finally add lang= as well and as a
first simple way of controlling which targets to acquire also target=.
This asked for a redesign of the internal API of parsing and storing
information about 'deb' and 'deb-src' lines. As this API isn't visible
to the outside no damage done through.
Beside being a nice cleanup (= it actually does more in less lines) it
also provides us with a predictable order of architectures as provides
in the configuration rather than based on string sorting-order, so that
now the native architecture is parsed/displayed first. Observeable e.g.
in apt-get output.

Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure
out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error
message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try
to download if it should just be displayed or similar such.
The URI is constructed as follows:
Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field,
otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or
"Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value
for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is
replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog
for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path
part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct),
while the rest of the URI varies widely between them.
The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs
for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where
the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what
apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from
security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian
and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists).
If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different
location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin.

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.
|

The helper expects to be told if it should generate messages, not where
these messages should be printed – as it isn't printing such messages,
but puts them in _error. apt-get uses in other methods a helper
specialisation which does also print stuff to a stream through, so this
is likely a copy&paste error.

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]

Collect all hashes we can get from the source record and put them into a
HashStringList so that 'apt-get source' can use it instead of using
always the MD5sum.
We therefore also deprecate the MD5 struct member in favor of the list.
While at it, the parsing of the Files is enhanced so that records which
miss "Files" (aka MD5 checksums) are still searched for other checksums
as they include just as much data, just not with a nice and catchy name.
This is a cherry-pick of 1262d35 with some dirty tricks to preserve ABI.

Do the same with less code in apt-get. This especially ensures that the
lock file (and the parent directories) exist before we are trying to
lock. It also means that clean now creates the directories if they are
missing so we returned to a proper clean state now.

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.

We can't add a new virtual method without breaking the ABI, but we can
freely add new methods, so for older ABIs we just implement this method
with a dynamic_cast, so that clients can be more ignorant about the API
here and especially don't need to pull a very dirty trick by assuming
internal knowledge (like apt-get did here).

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.
|
|
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.
|

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.

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.

The code is creating a secure temporary directory, but then creates
the changelog alongside the tmpdir in the same base directory. This
defeats the secure tmpdir creation, making the filename predictable.
Inject a '/' between the tmpdir and the changelog filename.

apt-get download and changelog as well as apt-helper reuse the acquire
system for their own proposes without requiring the directories the
fetcher wants to create, which is a problem if you run them as non-root
and the directories do not exist as it greets you with:
E: Archives directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. -

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.

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.

dpkg-source can be told to enforce signature checks with
--require-valid-signature, but while this isn't feasible as default for
Debian itself at the moment, a local admin should be able to use it.

being called for dpkg-source and dpkg-buildpackage.

It is not very extensible to have the supported Hashes hardcoded
everywhere and especially if it is part of virtual method names.
It is also possible that a method does not support the 'best' hash
(yet), so we might end up not being able to verify a file even though we
have a common subset of supported hashes. And those are just two of the
cases in which it is handy to have a more dynamic selection.
The downside is that this is a MAJOR API break, but the HashStringList
has a string constructor for compatibility, so with a bit of luck the
few frontends playing with the acquire system directly are okay.
