2018-12-04Add support for /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/*.conf (netrcparts)Julian Andres Klode
This allows us to install matching auth files for sources.list.d files, for example; very useful. This converts aptmethod's authfd from one FileFd to a vector of pointers to FileFd, as FileFd cannot be copied, and move operators are hard.

2017-07-26reimplement and document auth.confDavid Kalnischkies
We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing 518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer exists making the feature even more arcane. On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style) and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first. We now do a single pass over the stanzas. In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to document and more usual for an apt user. Closes: #811181
