2016-07-02use +0000 instead of UTC by default as timezone in outputDavid Kalnischkies
All apt versions support numeric as well as 3-character timezones just fine and its actually hard to write code which doesn't "accidently" accepts it. So why change? Documenting the Date/Valid-Until fields in the Release file is easy to do in terms of referencing the datetime format used e.g. in the Debian changelogs (policy §4.4). This format specifies only the numeric timezones through, not the nowadays obsolete 3-character ones, so in the interest of least surprise we should use the same format even through it carries a small risk of regression in other clients (which encounter repositories created with apt-ftparchive). In case it is really regressing in practice, the hidden option -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::NumericTimezone=0 can be used to go back to good old UTC as timezone. The EDSP and EIPP protocols use this 'new' format, the text interface used to communicate with the acquire methods does not for compatibility reasons even if none of our methods would be effected and I doubt any other would (in these instances the timezone is 'GMT' as that is what HTTP/1.1 requires). Note that this is only true for apt talking to methods, (libapt-based) methods talking to apt will respond with the 'new' format. It is therefore strongly adviced to support both also in method input.
2016-07-02deprecate 'apt-key update' and no-op it in DebianDavid Kalnischkies
Debian isn't using 'update' anymore for years and the command is in direct conflict with our goal of not requiring gnupg anymore, so it is high time to officially declare this command as deprecated.
2016-07-01warn if apt-key is used in scripts/its output parsedDavid Kalnischkies
apt-key needs gnupg for most of its operations, but depending on it isn't very efficient as apt-key is hardly used by users – and scripts shouldn't use it to begin with as it is just a silly wrapper. To draw more attention on the fact that e.g. 'apt-key add' should not be used in favor of "just" dropping a keyring file into the trusted.gpg.d directory this commit implements the display of warnings.
2016-07-01alias apt-key list to fingerDavid Kalnischkies
There is no real point in having two commands which roughly do the same thing, especially if the difference is just in the display of the fingerprint and hence security sensitive information. Closes: 829232
2016-06-29eipp: let apt make a plan, not make stuff planeDavid Kalnischkies
Julian noticed on IRC that I fall victim to a lovely false friend by calling referring to a 'planer' all the time even through these are machines to e.g. remove splinters from woodwork ("make stuff plane"). The term I meant is written in german in this way (= with a single n) but in english there are two, aka: 'planner'. As that is unreleased code switching all instances without any transitional provisions. Also the reason why its skipped in changelog. Thanks: Julian Andres Klode Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-06-27eipp: rename stanza 'Install' to 'Unpack'David Kalnischkies
Freeing 'Install' for future use as an interface for "dpkg --install", which is currently not used by any existent planer, so the implementation of it itself will be delayed until then.
2016-06-27eipp: add Allow-Temporary-Remove-of-EssentialsDavid Kalnischkies
A rather special need option, but the internal planer supports this and we have a testcase for it & sometimes it is hit (as a bug through). The option itself mostly serves as a reminder for implementors that they should be careful with removes and especially temporary removes if they perform any.
2016-06-27eipp: include global errors in reported errorDavid Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore
2016-06-27eipp: implement Immediate-Configuration flagDavid Kalnischkies
APT has 3 modes: no immediate configuration, all packages are configured immediately and its default mode of configuring essentials and pseudo-essentials immediately only. While this seems like a job of different planers at first, it might be handy to have it as an option, too, in case a planer (like apts internal one) supports different modes where the introduction of individual planers would be counter intuitive.
2016-06-27eipp: provide the internal planer as an external oneDavid Kalnischkies
Testing the current implementation can benefit from being able to be feed an EIPP request and produce a fully compliant response. It is also a great test for EIPP in general.
2016-06-20implement and document DIRECT for auto-detect-proxyDavid Kalnischkies
There is a subtile difference between an empty setting and "DIRECT" in the configuration as the later overrides the generic settings while the earlier does not. Also, non-zero exitcodes should really be reported as an error rather than silently discarded.
2016-06-14apt-key: don't search PATH if command is a path alreadyDavid Kalnischkies
2016-06-08edsp: drop privileges before executing solversDavid Kalnischkies
Most (if not all) solvers should be able to run perfectly fine without root privileges as they get the entire state they are supposed to work on via stdin and do not perform any action directly, but just pass suggestions on via stdout. The new default is to run them all as _apt hence, but each solver can configure another user if it chooses/must. The security benefits are minimal at best, but it helps preventing silly mistakes (see 35f3ed061f10a25a3fb28bc988fddbb976344c4d) and that is always good. Note that our 'apt' and 'dump' solver already dropped privileges if they had them.
2016-06-08edsp: optionally store a compressed copy of the last scenarioDavid Kalnischkies
For bugreports and co it could be handy to have the scenario and all the settings used in it around later for inspection for EDSP like protocols. EDSP might not be the most interesting as the user can still interrupt the process before the solution is applied and users tend to have an opinion on the "rightness" of a solution, so it is disabled by default.
2016-06-04edsp: use a stanza based interface for solution writingDavid Kalnischkies
EDSP had a WriteSolution method to write out the entire solution based on the inspection of a given pkgDepCache, but that is rather inflexible both for EDSP itself and for other EDSP like-protocols. It seems better to use a smaller scope in printing just a single stanza based on a given version as there is more reuse potential.
2016-06-02apt-key: change to / before find to satisfy its CWD needsDavid Kalnischkies
First seen on hurd, but easily reproducible on all systems by removing the 'execution' bit from the current working directory and watching some tests (mostly the no-output expecting tests) fail due to find printing: "find: Failed to restore initial working directory: …" Samuel Thibault says in the bugreport: | To do its work, find first records the $PWD, then goes to | /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ to find the files, and then goes back to $PWD. | | On Linux, getting $PWD from the 700 directory happens to work by luck | (POSIX says that getcwd can return [EACCES]: Search permission was denied | for the current directory, or read or search permission was denied for a | directory above the current directory in the file hierarchy). And going | back to $PWD fails, and thus find returns 1, but at least it emitted its | output. | | On Hurd, getting $PWD from the 700 directory fails, and find thus aborts | immediately, without emitting any output, and thus no keyring is found. | | So, to summarize, the issue is that since apt-get update runs find as a | non-root user, running it from a 700 directory breaks find. Solved as suggested by changing to '/' before running find, with some paranoia extra care taking to ensure the paths we give to find are really absolute paths first (they really should, but TMPDIR=. or a similar Dir::Etc::trustedparts setting could exist somewhere in the wild). The commit takes also the opportunity to make these lines slightly less error ignoring and the two find calls using (mostly) the same parameters. Thanks: Samuel Thibault for 'finding' the culprit! Closes: 826043
2016-05-28look into the right textdomain for apt-utils againDavid Kalnischkies
Broken in e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 by looking always into "apt" while we ship some tools in "apt-utils"…
2016-05-27prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIsDavid Kalnischkies
Setting the C++ locale via std::locale::global(std::locale("")); which would otherwise default to the default C locale (aka: unaffected by setlocale) effects the formatting of numeric types in IO streams, which for output for humans is perfectly sensible, but breaks our many text interfaces used and parsed by us and others without expecting the numbers to be formatted. Closes: #825396
2016-05-20edsp: use a limited scenario based on bool-arrayDavid Kalnischkies
Its more space and runtime efficient to use a boolean set instead of a CacheSet-based implementation. Git-Dch: Ignore
2016-05-20edsp: add Forbid-{New-Install,Remove} and Upgrade-AllDavid Kalnischkies
This allows to differentiate properly between 'apt-get upgrade', 'apt upgrade' and 'apt full-upgrade'.
2016-05-20edsp: dump: support dumping into compressed fileDavid Kalnischkies
2016-05-20convert EDSP to be based on FileFd instead of FILE*David Kalnischkies
I doubt there is any non-src:apt usage of these interfaces.
2016-05-20fail instead of segfault on unreadable config filesDavid Kalnischkies
The report mentions "apt list --upgradable", but there are others which have inconsistent behavior ranging from segfaulting to doing something with the partial (and hence incomplete) data. We had a recent report about sources.list (#818628), this one mentions prefences, the obvious next step is conf files… so the testcase is adapted to check for all three in file and directory versions and run a bunch of commands each time which should all have more or less the same behavior in such a case (aka error out). Closes: 824503
2016-05-01apt-key: add \n to dpkg-query --show --showformatCarsten Hey

2016-05-01warn if apt-key is run unconditionally in maintainerscriptDavid Kalnischkies
We want to stop hard-depending on gnupg and for this it is essential that apt-key isn't used in any critical execution path, which maintainerscript are. Especially as it is likely that these script call apt-key either only for (potentially now outdated cleanup) or still not use the much simpler trusted.gpg.d infrastructure.
2016-03-06add test for apt-key 0xKEY and use parameter expansionDavid Kalnischkies
Fixed in f7bd44bae0d7cb7f9838490b5eece075da83899e already, but the commit misses the Closes tag and while we are at it we can add a simple regression test and micro-optimize it a bit. Thanks: James McCoy for the suggestion. Closes: 816691
2016-03-04apt-key del should correctly handle keyids prefixed with 0xDaniel Kahn Gillmor
2016-01-08support '-' and no parameter for stdin in apt-helper cat-fileDavid Kalnischkies
This way it works more similar to the compressor binaries, which we can relief in this way from their job in the test framework avoiding the need of adding e.g. liblz4-tool to the test dependencies.
2016-01-08keep compressed indexes in a low-cost formatDavid Kalnischkies
Downloading and storing are two different operations were different compression types can be preferred. For downloading we provide the choice via Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order as there is a choice to be made between download size and speed – and limited by whats available in the repository. Storage on the other hand has all compressions currently supported by apt available and to reduce runtime of tools accessing these files the compression type should be a low-cost format in terms of decompression. apt traditionally stores its indexes uncompressed on disk, but has options to keep them compressed. Now that apt downloads additional files we also deal with files which simply can't be stored uncompressed as they are just too big (like Contents for apt-file). Traditionally they are downloaded in a low-cost format (gz) as repositories do not provide other formats, but there might be even lower-cost formats and for download we could introduce higher-cost in the repositories. Downloading an entire index potentially requires recompression to another format, so an update takes potentially longer – but big files are usually updated via pdiffs which has to de- and re-compress anyhow and does it on the fly anyhow, so there is no extra time needed and in general it seems to be benefitial to invest the time in update to save time later on file access.
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.

This can automatically handle compressed files and is useful for stuff like apt-file.
2015-12-19avoid triggering gpg2 migration in apt-keyDavid Kalnischkies
The presents (even of an empty) secring.gpg is indication enough for gpg2 to tigger the migration code which not only produces a bunch of output on each apt-key call, but also takes a while to complete as an agent needs to be started and all that. We workaround the first part by forcing the migration to happen always in a call we forced into silence, but that leaves us with an agent to start all the time – with a bit of reordering we can make it so that we do not explicitly create the secring, but let gpg create it if needed, which prevents the migration from being triggered and we have at least a bit less of a need for an agent. Changes - even to public only keyrings - still require one, but such actions are infrequent in comparison to verification calls, so that should be a net improvement.
2015-12-19avoid evaluating shell in paths used in apt-keyDavid Kalnischkies
apt-key creates internally a script (since ~1.1) which it will call to avoid dealing with an array of different options in the code itself, but while writing this script it wraps the values in "", which will cause the shell to evaluate its content upon execution. To make 'use' of this either set a absolute gpg command or TMPDIR to something as interesting as: "/tmp/This is fü\$\$ing cràzy, \$(man man | head -n1 | cut -d' ' -f1)\$!" If such paths can be encountered in reality is a different question…

2015-12-07part revert, part redo 'which' replacementDavid Kalnischkies
In e75e5879 'replace "which" with "command -v" for portability' I missed that command -v isn't actually required to be available in debian, so for the 5 files we are using it: Two (abicheck/run_abi_test & test/integration/framework) are called in environments were I believe sh is at least dash or 'better' as the first one is "interactive" for apt developers and the later is sourced by ~200 tests in the same directory run by hand and ci-services – for the later we have pulled some uglier hacks for worser things already, so if there should actually end up needing something more compatible we will notice eventually (and the later actually had a command -v call for some time already and nobody came running). debian/rules and debian/apt.cron.daily I switched back to which as that is more or less debian-specific or at least highly non-critical. That leaves cmdline/apt-key.in with a bunch of calls where I will implement that functionality in shell as this is relatively short-lived as it is used to detect wget (for net-update, which Michael wants to revive and in that process will properly use apt-helper instead of wget) and to detect gpg vs. gpg2 systems, where the earlier is supposed to go away in the longrun (or the later, but by replacing the earlier…). [and this gpg/gpg2 detection is new in sid, so I have some sympathy for that being a problem now.] Thanks: Jakub Wilk for pointing out #747320
2015-12-06replace run-parts with find|sort to avoid debianutils usageDavid Kalnischkies
After e75e5879 the reason for an implicit dependency on debianutils (which is essential for debian, but likely not on other systems) was just two uses of run-parts, which can be replaced with the a lot more portable find-piped-into-sort duo.

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
2015-11-04revamp 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.
2015-11-04hidden 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.
