2014-07-08Improve description how to turn off the cachesCédric Barboiron
Closes: #753531
2014-04-01Add new Debug::RunScripts optionMichael Vogt
This debug option will display all scripts that are run by apts RunScripts and RunScriptsWithPkgs helpers.
2014-03-13support DEB_BUILD_PROFILES and -P for build profilesDavid Kalnischkies
Inspired by the rest of the patch in 661537, but abstract the parsing of various ways of setting the build profiles more so it can potentially be reused and all apt parts have the same behaviour. Especially config options, cmdline options and environment will not be combined as proposed as this isn't APTs usual behaviour and dpkg doesn't do it either, so one overrides the other as it normally does.
2013-11-30add a vendor specific file to have configurable entitiesDavid Kalnischkies
manpages sometimes refer to distro-specific things like the name of the package providing the achive-keyring. Having a central place to configure this helps in having it consistent in the manpages and allows to load this info from other places in the buildsystem as well later.
2013-10-25improve documentation for Acquire::http::Proxy-Auto-Detect (thanks to ↵Michael Vogt
Francesco Poli)
2013-10-22add Acquire::http::Proxy-Auto-Detect to the apt.conf.5 manpage (closes: 726597)Michael Vogt
2013-08-16allow Pre-Install-Pkgs hooks to get info over an FD != stdinDavid Kalnischkies
This adds ::InfoFD option alongside the ::Version one to request sending the information to the specified FD, by default it is STDIN as it was the case before. The environment variable APT_HOOK_INFO_FD contains the FD the data is on as a confirmation that the APT version used understood the request. Allowing the hook to choose the FD is needed/helpful e.g. for shellscripts which have a hard time accessing FDs above 9 (as >= 10 are usually used internally by them) Closes: #671728
2013-08-15merge patch from Daniel Hartwig to Clarify units of Acquire::http::Dl-Limit ↵Michael Vogt
(closes: #705445) Conflicts: debian/changelog
2013-07-11Version 3 for DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs with MultiArch infoDavid Kalnischkies
Adds on top of Version 2 to all displayed version numbers the architecture as well as the MultiArch flag for consumption by the hooks. Most of the time the architecture will be the same for both versions displayed, but packages might change from "all" to "any" (or back) between versions so we can't display the architecture for packages. Pseudo-Format for Version 3: <name> <version> <arch> <m-a-flag> <compare> <version> <arch> <m-a-flag> Examples: stuff - - none < 1 amd64 none **CONFIGURE** libsame 1 i386 same < 2 i386 same **CONFIGURE** stuff 2 i386 none > 1 i386 none **CONFIGURE** libsame 2 i386 same > - - none **REMOVE** toolkit 1 all foreign > - - none **REMOVE** Closes: #712116

2010-07-11[ Martin Pitt ]David Kalnischkies
* debian/rules: - Make DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt actually work by passing the right CXXFLAGS. * apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.{h,cc}: - Add support for reading of gzipped files with the new "ReadOnlyGzip" OpenMode. (Closes: #188407) - Link against zlib (in apt-pkg/makefile) and add zlib build dependency. - [ABI BREAK] This adds a new private member to FileFd, but its initialization is in the public header file. * configure.in: - Check for zlib library and headers. * apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc, apt-pkg/deb/debindexfile.cc, apt-pkg/deb/debrecords.cc, apt-pkg/deb/debsrcrecords.h, cmdline/apt-cache.cc: - Open Packages, Sources, and Translations indexes in "ReadOnlyGzip" mode. * apt-pkg/deb/debindexfile.cc: - If we do not find uncompressed package/source/translation indexes, look for gzip compressed ones. * apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc: - If the Acquire::GzipIndexes option is true and we download a gzipped index file, keep it as it is (and rename to .gz) instead of uncompressing it. * doc/apt.conf.5.xml: - Document the new Acquire::GzipIndexes option. * doc/po/apt-doc.pot, doc/po/de.po: - German translation of new Acquire::GzipIndexes option. * Add test/test-indexes.sh: - Test behaviour of index retrieval and usage, in particular with uncompressed and gzip compressed indexes. * methods/gzip.cc: With FileFd now being able to read gzipped files, there is no need for the gzip method any more to spawn an external gzip process. Rewrite it to use FileFd directly, which makes the code a lot simpler, and also using less memory and overhead.
