Try establishing connections in alternating address families in
rapid intervals of 250 ms, adding more connections to the wait
list until one succeeds (RFC 8305, happy eyeballs 2).
It is important that WaitAndCheckErrors() waits until it has
a successful connection, a time out, or all connections failed
- otherwise the timing between tries might be wrong, and the
final long wait might exit early because one connection failed
without trying the others. Timing wise, this only works correctly
on Linux, as select() counts down there. But we rely on that in
some other places too, so this is not the time to fix that.
Timeouts are only reported in the final long wait - the short
inner waits are expected to time out more often, and multiple
times, we do not want to report them.

This should help debugging crashes. The signal handler is a C++11
lambda, yay! Special care has been taken to only use signal handler
-safe functions inside there.

This reduces the number of syscalls to about 140 from about
350 or so, significantly reducing security risks.
Also change prepare-release to ignore the architecture lists
in the build dependencies when generating the build-depends
package for travis.
We might want to clean up things a bit more and/or move it
somewhere else.

We detect the effected sources by matching Release info – that has
potential by-catch of repositories which have incorrect field values,
but those are better fixed now anyhow. The bigger incorrectness is that
this message will not only be printed for the Debian services itself but
also for all mirrors not under Debian control but serving Debian like more
local/private mirrors which will not (directly) shutdown. It is likely
through that many of them will follow suite with less visible
announcements or break downright if their upstream source disappears, so
having false-positives here seems benefitial for the user in the end.

/org has been obsoleted by /srv for many years on debian.org hosts.

If we have a user sitting around we can let 'apt' ask the user for a
confirmation rather than print errors at the end and require the user to
figure out which commandline flags are needed to confirm the changes
non-interactively.
|
|
The value of Origin, Label, Codename and co can be used in user
configuration from apts own pinning to unattended upgrades.
A repository changing this values can therefore have serious effects on
the behaviour of apt and other tools using these values.
In a first step we will generate error messages for these changes now
explaining the need for explicit confirmation and provide config options
and commandline flags to accept them.

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.

Changes nothing on the program front and as the datatypes are
sufficently comparable fixes no bug either, but problems later on if we
ever change the types of those and prevent us using types which are too
large for the values we want to store waste (a tiny bit of) resources.

Most of them in (old) code comments. The two instances of user visible

Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some
common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel,
but should match any-arm.
With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are
both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11).
There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for
historical and API reasons:
* The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact
it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style
wildcard matching on the commandline.
* The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example
the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm-
is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard
ending in a minus.
* Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets
- by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any"
if there is a wildcard component.
Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch()
expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a
tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way.
This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all
things it should accept.

The idea is simple: Each¹ Find*( call starts with a call check if the
given option (with the requested type) exists in the whitelist. The
whitelist is specified via our configure-index file so that we have
a better chance at keeping it current. the whitelist is loaded via a
special (undocumented for now) configuration stanza and if none is
loaded the empty whitelist will make it so that no warnings are shown.
Much needs to be done still, but that is as good a time as any to take a
snapshot of the current state and release it into the wild given that it
found some bugs already and has no practical effect on users.
¹ not all in this iteration, but many

You can pretty much achieve the same with a local dummy package if you
want to, but libapt has an inbuilt setting for essential: "apt" which
can be overridden with this option as well – it could be helpful in
quick tests and what not so adding this alternative shouldn't really
hurt much.
We aren't going to document them much through as care must be taken in
regards to the binary caches as they aren't invalidated by config
options alone, so the effects of old settings could still be in them,
similar to the other already existing pkgCacheGen option(s).

Build HTML docbook guides (untranslated) and manual pages
(including translations). Also install the examples in the
example subdirectory.
Translation of docbook guides has not been implemented yet,
but should be easy to do. The code also needs some cleanup
to automatically detect the available translations.

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.

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.

The configuration key Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories controls if
apt allows loading of unsigned repositories at all.
The configuration Acquire::AllowDowngradeToInsecureRepositories
controls if a signed repository can ever become unsigned. This
should really never be needed but we provide it to avoid having
to mess around in /var/lib/apt/lists if there is a use-case for
this (which I can't think of right now).

Many derivatives make quiet a few simple changes to apt introducing
silly diffs just to change examples and co making it harder for
them to update apt and harder for us to merge real changes back.

- default to putting the Contents-* files below $(SECTION) as apt-file
expects them there - thanks Martin-Éric Racine! (Closes: #675827)
|
|
- use the codename instead of 'stable' in the examples sources.list
as we do in the manpage and as the debian-installer does
|
|
- replace CDROM with the proper CD-ROM in text
|
|
|
|
- document APT::Architectures list (Closes: #612102)
|
|
- deal with missing FSTAB_DIR when using libudev to discover cdrom
- add experimental APT::cdrom::CdromOnly option (on by default).
When this is set to false apt-cdrom will handle any removable
deivce (like a usb-stick) as a "cdrom/dvd" source
