2016-07-08Add kernels with "+" in the package name to APT::NeverAutoRemoveAndrew Patterson
Escape "+" in kernel package names when generating APT::NeverAutoRemove list so it is not treated as a regular expression meta-character. [Changed by David Kalnischkies: let test actually test the change] Closes: #830159
2015-12-14debian/apt.auto-removal.sh: Adjust -dbg exclusion for multi-archJulian Andres Klode
Allow an optional colon followed by anything at the end.
2015-09-14tests: try to support spaces in TMPDIRDavid Kalnischkies
Not all tests work yet, most notable the cdrom tests, but those require changes in libapt itself to have a proper fix and what we have fixed so far is good enough progress for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14include debug information in the autoremove-kernels fileDavid Kalnischkies
Figuring out after the fact what went wrong in the kernel hook is kinda hart, also as the bugreports are usually very lacking on the details front. Collecting the internal variables in the debug output we attach to the generated file might help shine some light on the matter. It's at least not going to hurt…
2015-09-14select kernels to protect from autoremove based on Debian versionDavid Kalnischkies
This is basically a rewrite of the script with the general idea of finding the Debian version of the installed kernels – as multiple flavours will have the same Debian version – select the two newest of them and translate them back to versions found in package names. This way we avoid e.g. kernel and kernel-rt to use up the protected slots even through they are basically the same kernel (just a different flavour) so it is likely that if kernel doesn't work for some reason, kernel-rt will not either. This also deals with foreign kernel packages, kernels on hold and partly installed kernels (in case multiple kernels are installed in the same apt run) in a hopefully sensible way. Closes: 787827
2014-12-23tighten filtering of kernel images in apt.auto-removalJames McCoy
The current filtering matches the names of the image metapackages on the i386 architecture: $ dpkg-query -l | awk '/^ii[ ]+(linux|kfreebsd|gnumach)-image-[0-9]/ && $2 !~ /-dbg$/ { print $2 }' linux-image-3.16.0-4-586 linux-image-586 This results in an extra image package being removed from APT::NeverAutoRemove, losing the intended effect of keeping the {current, previous, latest} set of images installed. Requiring a “.” in the package name tightens the matched package names to those that are installing a specific version of the image, thus eliding the meta-packages. Closes: 772732
2014-03-21only consider versioned kernel packages in autoremoveDavid Kalnischkies
Metapackages like "linux-image-amd64" are otherwise matched by our extraction as well, which later on can't be successfully compared via dpkg --compare-versions as the 'amd64' bit isn't a version number. (Luckily none of our architectures starts with a digit.) This was broken by me in 0.9.16 as I moved a shell-glob matcher to a regex-based one which has slightly different semantics regarding '*'. Closes: 741962
2014-03-13ensure that a dot is a dot in the hookDavid Kalnischkies
As we deal with regex matchers here the dots are treated as wildcards if we don't take care of escaping them. Not very likely that this could be a real-world problem, but just to be sure.
2014-03-13support kfreebsd and hurd in the kernel hookDavid Kalnischkies
kfreebsd as well as hurd kernel packages call the postinst script as well so we just need to enable the correct parsing for installed packages and disable the "protect every version" hammer for them.
2014-03-13use a configurable list of versioned kernel packagesDavid Kalnischkies
With APT::VersionedKernelPackages users have the option of adding packages like pre-build out-of-tree modules to the list of automatically protected from being autoremoved.

* debian/apt.auto-removal.sh: - do not include debug symbol packages for the kernel in the blacklist (closes: #717616)

2013-07-11* Fix up two things in debian/apt.auto-removal.sh:Adam Conrad
- Use exact matches with $-terminated regexes, so we don't get confusion between similarly-named kernel flavours. - Keep linux-backports-modules in sync with installed kernels. Conflicts: configure.in debian/changelog doc/apt-verbatim.ent
