Weak had no dedicated option before and Insecure and Downgrade were both
global options, which given the effect they all have on security is
rather bad. Setting them for individual repositories only isn't great
but at least slightly better and also more consistent with other
settings for repositories.
|
|
With this commit all APT-based clients default to refusing to work with
unsigned or otherwise insufficently secured repositories. In terms of
apt and apt-get this changes nothing, but it effects all tools using
libapt like aptitude, synaptic or packagekit.
The exception remains apt-get for stretch for now as this might break
too many scripts/usecases too quickly.
The documentation is updated and extended to reflect how to opt out or
in on this behaviour change.

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.

libapt allows to configure compressors to be used by its system via
configuration implemented in 03bef78461c6f443187b60799402624326843396,
but that was never really documented and also only partly working, which
also explains why the tests weren't using it…

This should make it more obvious that CHANGEPATH is a placeholder which
apt will replace with a package specific path rather than a string
constant.

Never updating this information is wrong, updating it automatically
isn't super correct either, but it seems conventional to have it and
updating it more often than needed seems better than updating it never.

Especially with apt now, it can be useful to set an option only for apt
and not for apt-get. Using a binary-specific subtree which is merged into
the root seems like a simple enough trick to achieve this.
|
|
This changes the semantics of the option (which is renamed too) to be a
yes/no value with the special additional value "force" as this allows
by-hash to be disabled even if the repository indicates it would be
supported and is more in line with our other yes/no options like pdiff
which disable themselves if no support can be detected.
The feature wasn't documented so far and hasn't reached a (un)stable
release yet, so changing it without trying too hard to keep
compatibility seems okay.
|
|
Disabling pdiffs can be useful occasionally, like if you have a fast
local mirror where the download doesn't matter, but still want to use it
for non-local mirrors. Also, some users might prefer it to only use it
for very big indextargets like Contents.

These options could be set via configuration before, but the connection
to the actual sources is so strong that they should really be set in the
sources.list instead – especially as this can be done a lot more
specific rather than e.g. disabling Valid-Until for all sources at once.
Valid-Until-* names are chosen instead of the Min/Max-ValidTime as this
seems like a better name and their use in the wild is probably low
enough that this isn't going to confuse anyone if we have to names for
the same thing in different areas.
In the longrun, the config options should be removed, but for now
documentation hinting at the new options is good enough as these are the
kind of options you set once across many systems with different apt
versions, so the new way should work everywhere first before we
deprecate the old way.

Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure
out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error
message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try
to download if it should just be displayed or similar such.
The URI is constructed as follows:
Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field,
otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or
"Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value
for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is
replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog
for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path
part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct),
while the rest of the URI varies widely between them.
The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs
for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where
the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what
apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from
security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian
and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists).
If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different
location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin.

Not all are needed for all files at the moment, but the new docbook
building hadn't available some of the entities it used as the files
weren't correctly copied around in all cases and having the same across
the bord makes working with all of them a little easier.

Now that methods have the expected hashes available they can check if
the response from the server is what they expected. Pipelining is one of
those areas in which servers can mess up by not supporting it properly,
which forced us to disable it for the time being. Now, we check if
we got a response out of order, which we can not only use to disable
pipelining automatically for the next requests, but we can fix it up
just like the server responded in proper order for the current requests.
To ensure that this little trick works pipelining is only attempt if we
have hashsums for all the files in the chain which in theory reduces the
use of pipelining usage even on the many servers which work properly,
but in practice only the InRelease file (or similar such) will be
requested without a hashsum – and as it is the only file requested in
that stage it can't be pipelined even if we wanted to.
Some minor annoyances remain: The display of the progress we have
doesn't reflect this change, so it looks like the same package gets
downloaded multiple times while others aren't at all. Further more,
partial files are not supported in this recovery as the received data
was appended to the wrong file, so the hashsum doesn't match.
Both seem to be minor enough to reenable pipelining by default until
further notice through to test if it really solves the problem.
This therefore reverts commit 8221431757c775ee875a061b184b5f6f2330f928.

This debug option will display all scripts that are run
by apts RunScripts and RunScriptsWithPkgs helpers.
|
|
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.

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.

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)

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**
