By restricting the Date field to be in the past, an attacker cannot
just create a repository from the future that would be accepted as
a valid update for a repository.
This check can be disabled by Acquire::Check-Date set to false. This
will also disable Check-Valid-Until and any future date related checking,
if any - the option means: "my computers date cannot be trusted."
Modify the tests to allow repositories to be up to 10 hours in the
future, so we can keep using hours there to simulate time changes.

Same reasoning as with the previous commit for http with the added
benefit of moving the hard to discover and untranslated example config
into a manpage which could be translated.
|
|
We had documentation for the http transport in our "catch-all" apt.conf
manpage, but it seems benefitial to document transports in their own
manpage instead of pushing them all into one.

As requested by Henrique de Moraes Holschuh, here comes
an option to disable TLS support. If the option is set
to false, the internal TLS layer is disabled.

This commit looks heavy. Most of that comes from the fact that the
ordering of files in the translations changed with the switch to
CMake. I could have gone the extra mile to figure out the original
ordering and replicate it, but I have chosen to re-order everything
by file and line number, as that's easier.

With b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f we dropped what we
calculated here later on and now that we don't need it in the meantime
either we can just skip the busy work by default and expect dpkg to do
the right thing dropping also our little "last explicit configures"
removal trick introduced in b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f.
This enables the last of a bunch of previously experimental options,
some of them existing still, but are very special and hence not really
worth documenting anymore (especially as it would need to be rewritten
now entirely) which is why the documentation is nearly completely
dropped.
The order of configuration stanzas in the simulation code changes
slightly as it isn't concerning itself with finding the 'right' order,
but any order is valid anyhow as long as the entire set happens in the
same call.

Yes, we might still add new features to 1.3 or break some more
stuff. Stay tuned!

Quite a huge churn of new strings.

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.

[Commiter: Patch adapted to apply to current version of the manpage and
added/moved a few words about Version 3 to make it fit better]

RootDir doesn't only effect Dir-scope but all FindDir directories, so
document it accordingly.

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.
