2016-04-01Use systemd.timer instead of a cron jobMichael Vogt
The rational is that we need to spread the load on the mirrors that apt update and unattended-upgrades cause. To do so, we leverage the RandomizeDelay feature of systemd. The other advantage is that the timer is not run at a fixed daily.daily time but instead every 24h. This also fixes the problem that the randomized deplay in the current apt.cron.daily causes other cron jobs to be deplayed. A compatibility cron job is also provided for systems that do not use systemd. Note that the time is fired two times a day, but the logic inside of apt.systemd.daily will ensure (via stamp files) that the servers are hit at most every 24h. Firing two times a day helps with the worst case update time and it also helps with systems that are not always on. LP: #246381, #727685 Closes: #600262, #709675, #663290
2016-01-02Add support for APT::Periodic::CleanIntervalMichael Vogt
In order to allow regular cleaning of the downloaded deb archives the new option APT::Periodic::CleanInterval is added. It will run "apt-get clean" in the given time interval. Thanks: Martin-Éric Racine
2015-12-14redirect which stderr to /dev/null for consistencyDavid Kalnischkies
The "standard" which (debianutils) has no output whatsoever on stderr, bash and dash which use this implementation therefore haven't either. In zsh 'which' is a shell built-in – and has no stderr output either, it does print an error message on stdout… So, realistically, a redirection isn't needed at all, but it also can't hurt (<- I have said that before in this context ->) so why not for consistency with… well, not with "command -v" as that hasn't an error message either. Lets say for consistency with my mental image of shell, as I am still a bit puzzled by zsh's which and now could imagine even more strange things in other shells. Closes: 807373
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 "which" with "command -v" for portabilityDavid Kalnischkies
which is a debian specific tool packaged in debianutils (essential) while command is a shell builtin defined by POSIX. Closes: 807144 Thanks: Mingye Wang for the suggestion.
