* 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.

2010-01-16Fix the newly introduced method GetListOfFilesInDir to not accept everyDavid Kalnischkies

2009-11-25add https options which default to the ones from http for the httpsDavid Kalnischkies
method as this is more sane than using only the http options without a possibility to override these for https.

See the bugreport (and merged ones) for discussion details which lead to these additions to the introduction of the apt.conf manpage.

2009-09-18cleanup commit for trigger processing:David Kalnischkies
- remove the DPkg::NoConfTriggers - absolutely useless as we need TriggersPending already so we can use --no-triggers. - remove the Immediate-option from the example, it doesn't help much. - UnpackCritical uses DepUnPackPre with a D (on simple letter...) - the "smart" optimisation to skip A was not so smart - revert.
2009-09-15Add even more config options and try to handle configuration problemsDavid Kalnischkies
arising if we upgrade essential or predependencies which need to be configured before even unpacking packages depending on them.
2009-09-13add and document experimental options to make aggressiveDavid Kalnischkies
use of dpkg's trigger and configuration handling (Closes: #473461) Add NoTriggers option to add --no-triggers to all dpkg calls, NoConfiguration to prevent apt from trying to configure packages - dpkg should handle this in the last ConfigurePending call. This options are for now deactivated as they require more testing in real world situations, but the plan is to enable them in the near future if anything works well.

* doc/*.?.xml (manpages): - add contrib to author tags and also add refmiscinfo to fix warnings
2009-08-25"backport" the APT::Configuration class to apt-sidDavid Kalnischkies
We can use it to simplify the internal code to operate with Acquire::CompressionTypes group. This also made it possible to set this setting with the -o flag.

2009-08-12Add a Acquire::CompressionTypes config variable from there theDavid Kalnischkies
acquire-items choose which compression file they should (try first to) download to easily add new or change the order of the compression types. And because it is easy now we directly add builtin lzma support. The compression ratio is better than bzip2 but we prefer the later for now as no (official) mirror uses lzma, so this would only generate useless hits on the servers. Maybe sometime in the future lzma will be the default... [apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc] - use configsettings for dynamic compression type use and order. Based on a patch by Jyrki Muukkonen, thanks! (LP: #71746) [apt-pkg/init.cc] - add default configuration for compression types and add lzma support. Order is now bzip2, lzma, gzip, none (Closes: #510526) [ftparchive/writer.cc] - add lzma support also here, patch for this (and inspiration for the one above) by Robert Millan, thanks!
