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.
2014-10-15don'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.
2014-10-07ensure 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.
2014-09-27allow fetcher setup without directory creationDavid Kalnischkies
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. - Acquire (13: Permission denied) Closes: 762898
2014-09-02Make Proxy-Auto-Detect check for each hostMichael Vogt
When doing Acquire::http{,s}::Proxy-Auto-Detect, run the auto-detect command for each host instead of only once. This should make using "proxy" from libproxy-tools feasible which can then be used for PAC style or other proxy configurations. Closes: #759264
