2015-04-10add a simple unit test for acquire progressDavid Kalnischkies
This isn't testing much of the 'complex' parts, but its better than nothing for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-04-07keyids in "apt-key del" should be case-insensitiveDavid Kalnischkies
gnupg is case-insensitive about keyids, so back then apt-key called it directly any keyid was accepted, but now that we work more with the keyid ourself we regressed to require uppercase keyids by accident. This is also inconsistent with other apt-key commands which still use gnupg directly. A single case-insensitive grep and we are fine again. Closes: 781696
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

2014-12-22dispose http(s) 416 error page as non-contentDavid Kalnischkies
Real webservers (like apache) actually send an error page with a 416 response, but our client didn't expect it leaving the page on the socket to be parsed as response for the next request (http) or as file content (https), which isn't what we want at all… Symptom is a "Bad header line" as html usually doesn't parse that well to an http-header. This manifests itself e.g. if we have a complete file (or larger) in partial/ which isn't discarded by If-Range as the server doesn't support it (or it is just newer, think: mirror rotation). It is a sort-of regression of 78c72d0ce22e00b194251445aae306df357d5c1a, which removed the filesize - 1 trick, but this had its own problems… To properly test this our webserver gains the ability to reply with transfer-encoding: chunked as most real webservers will use it to send the dynamically generated error pages. (The tests and their binary helpers had to be slightly modified to apply, but the patch to fix the issue itself is unchanged.) Closes: 768797

2014-11-28support long keyids in "apt-key del" instead of ignoring themJames McCoy
apt-key given a long keyid reports just "OK" all the time, but doesn't delete the mentioned key as it doesn't find the key. Note: In debian/experimental this was closed with 29f1b977100aeb6d6ebd38923eeb7a623e264ffe which just added the testcase as the rewrite of apt-key had fixed this as well. Closes: 754436
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).
2014-11-18various 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
2014-11-10use 'best' hash for source authenticationDavid Kalnischkies
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. LP: 1098738
2014-11-09use pkgAcquire::GetLock instead of own codeDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
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.

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
2014-11-08guard ABI changes for SourcePkg/Ver in pkgCacheDavid Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-11-08better non-virtual metaIndex.LocalFileName() implementationDavid Kalnischkies
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).
2014-10-23chown finished partial files earlierDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2014-10-20test if TMPDIR is accessible before usingDavid Kalnischkies
Private temporary directories as created by e.g. libpam-tmpdir are nice, but they are also very effective in preventing our priviledge dropping to work as TMPDIR will be set to a directory only root has access to, so working with it as _apt will fail. We circumvent this by extending our check for a usable TMPDIR setting by checking access rights. Closes: 765951
2014-10-15check for available space, excluding root reserved blocksDavid Kalnischkies
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.
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.
2014-10-03apt-get: Create the temporary downloaded changelog inside tmpdirGuillem Jover
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.

2014-09-29Test if TMPDIR is a directory in apt-key and if not unset itMichael Vogt
This prevents a failure in mktemp -d - it will blindly trust TMPDIR and not use something else if the dir is not there.

2014-09-27cleanup partial directory of lists in apt-get cleanDavid Kalnischkies
Not really the intended usecase for apt-get clean, but users expect it to help them in recovery and it can't really hurt as this directory should be empty if everything was fine and proper anyway. Closes: #762889
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
2014-09-27store 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.
2014-09-27add and use 'apt-key verify' which prefers gpgv over gpgDavid Kalnischkies
gnupg/gnupg2 can do verify just fine of course, so we don't need to use gpgv here, but it is what we always used in the past, so there might be scripts expecting a certain output and more importantly the output of apt-cdrom contains messages from gpg and even with all the settings we activate to prevent it, it still shows (in some versions) a quiet scary: "gpg: WARNING: Using untrusted key!" message. Keeping the use of gpgv is the simplest way to prevent it. We are increasing also the "Breaks: apt" version from libapt as it requires a newer apt-key than might be installed in partial upgrades.

2014-09-27add --readonly option for apt-key advDavid Kalnischkies
Some advanced commands can be executed without the keyring being modified like --verify, so this adds an option to disable the mergeback and uses it for our gpg calling code. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27use only one --keyring in gpg interactionsDavid Kalnischkies
We were down to at most two keyrings before, but gnupg upstream plans dropping support for multiple keyrings in the longrun, so with a single keyring we hope to be future proof – and 'apt-key adv' isn't a problem anymore as every change to the keys is merged back, so we have now the same behavior as before, but support an unlimited amount of trusted.gpg.d keyrings.
2014-09-27add --secret-keyring option for apt-keyDavid Kalnischkies
For some advanced usecases it might be handy to specify the secret keyring to be used (e.g. as it is used in the testcases), but specifying it via a normal option for gnupg might not be available forever: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2013-August/047180.html Git-Dch: Ignore

2014-09-27support gnupg2 as drop-in replacement for gnupgDavid Kalnischkies
If both are available APT will still prefer gpg over gpg2 as it is a bit more lightweight, but it shouldn't be a problem to use one or the other (at least at the moment, who knows what will happen in the future).
2014-09-27delay gnupg setup in apt-key until it is neededDavid Kalnischkies
'apt-key help' and incorrect usage do not need a functioning gnupg setup, as well as we shouldn't try to setup gnupg before we actually test if it is available (and print a message if it is not).
2014-09-27merge fragment keyrings in apt-key to avoid hitting gpg limitsDavid Kalnischkies
gnupg has a hardlimit of 40 (at the moment) keyrings per invocation, which can be exceeded with (many) repositories. That is rather misfortune as the longrun goal was to drop gnupg dependency at some point in the future, but this can now be considered missed and dropped. It also means that 'apt-key adv' commands might not have the behaviour one would expect it to have as it mainly operates on a big temporary keyring, so commands modifying keys will break. Doing this was never a good idea anyway through, so lets just hope nothing break too badly. Closes: 733028
