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.

2015-11-04move apts cmdline helper type into -privateDavid Kalnischkies
Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
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
2015-11-04deduplicate 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
2015-11-04allow 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.
2015-11-04provide public interface to hold/unhold packagesDavid Kalnischkies
We had this code lying around in apt-mark for a while now, but other frontends need this (and similar) functionality as well, so its high time that we provide a public interface in libapt for this stuff.
2015-11-04switch 'apt-mark hold' from Pkg to Ver based operationDavid Kalnischkies
Users hold a package foo (at version X) or try to prevent the installation of foo (usually based on the information they know about version X), even if we say that we "hold a package". Conceptionally we also need to know about which architecture we are talking and that is an information bound to a version (as a package can change architecture over time). We internally did this lookup from Pkg to Ver already, we just move this to a central place where the user has a change to influence it now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04add cacheset push_back wrapping for std::back_inserterDavid Kalnischkies
As usual by now, not all containers wrapped by the cacheset containers support all methods, like push_back now, but they fail on use of these unusable methods only. Would be nice to not expose these methods for unsupporting containers at all, but that means either a lot of classes or a lot of std::enable_if magic, which seems like too big work for this small wrapper for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04implement operator* for cacheset iteratorsDavid Kalnischkies
Technically an abi-break as we change a template parameter to std::iterator for this, but this class is empty in all instances and just causes the right typedefs to be set – which were incorrect as detected by std::stable_partition as its implementation uses ::pointer and needs also a operator* implementation. In practice CacheSets have no external users (yet) and the difference is visible only at compile time (which was an error before and now works), not while linking. The changes to apt-mark are functionally identical to the code before, just that we use a std:: algorithm now instead of trying hard on our own.
2015-11-04implement a public pkgSystem::MultiArchSupportedDavid Kalnischkies
Some codepaths need to check if the system (in our case usually dpkg) supports MultiArch or not. We had copy-pasted the check so far into these paths, but having it as a system check is better for reusability.
2015-08-10cleanup Container.erase API to look more like std::containersDavid Kalnischkies
C++11 slightly changes the API again to const_iterator, but we are find with iterators in the C++03 style for now as long as they look and behave equally to the methods of the standard containers. Git-Dch: Ignore
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
2015-03-16(error) Same iterator is used with different containersDavid Kalnischkies
cppcheck reports this error, its not really a problem for us as the API can actually deal with it via implicit conversion, but being explicit can't hurt and the less reported errors the better. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-11-19use dpkg --merge-avail only if needed in apt-markDavid Kalnischkies
Only "recent" versions of dpkg support stdin for merge instead of a file, so as a quick fix we delay calling it until we really need it which fixes most of the problem already. Checking for a specific dpkg version here is deemed too much work, just like using a temporary file here and depends a too high requirement for this minor usecase. After all, it didn't work at all before, so we break nobody here and can fix it if someone complains (with a patch).
2014-11-09allow uninstalled packages to be put on holdDavid Kalnischkies
dpkg wants to know about a package before it can be put on hold, so we have to at least hint about its existance in the available file it "maintaince" to know about such stuff. The simple thing would probably be to just feed all Packages files into dpkg as well, but what would be the point really? Exactly, so we take a shortcut here and just create dummies in the available file if we need to which isn't going to be that common as usually you are holding packages back and not off. Who would have thought that a simple feature like setting a package on hold requires more than 200 lines of code… at least with the testcase it is now explicitly tested code.
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.
2014-03-13cleanup headers and especially #includes everywhereDavid Kalnischkies
Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems I have with high levels of parallel jobs. Git-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: iwyu (include-what-you-use)

2012-07-04* cmdline/apt-mark.cc:David Kalnischkies
- arch:all packages are treated as arch:native packages, but dpkg expects pkg:all for selections, so use the arch of the installed version instead of the package structure if possible. Thanks to Stepan Golosunov for the report! (Closes: #680041)
