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.

In b0d408547734100bf86781615f546487ecf390d9 I accidently removed the
documentation for Trusted and replaced it with Signed-By instead of
adding it.

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.
|
|
While Target{,-Add,-Remove} is available for configuring IndexTargets
already, allow Targets to be mentioned explicitely as yes/no options as
well, so that the Target 'Contents' can be disabled via 'Contents: no'
as well as 'Target-Remove: Contents'.

Closes: #617445

'files' is a bit too generic as a name for a command usually only used
programmatically (if at all) by developers, so instead of "wasting" this
generic name for this we use "indextargets" which is actually the name
of the datastructure the displayed data is stored in.
Along with this rename the config options are renamed accordingly.

Limits which key(s) can be used to sign a repository. Not immensely useful
from a security perspective all by itself, but if the user has
additional measures in place to confine a repository (like pinning) an
attacker who gets the key for such a repository is limited to its
potential and can't use the key to sign its attacks for an other (maybe
less limited) repository… (yes, this is as weak as it sounds, but having
the capability might come in handy for implementing other stuff later).

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.

A specific trust state can be enforced via a sources.list option, but it
effects all entries handled by the same Release file, not just the entry
it was given on so we enforce acknowledgement of this by requiring the
same value to be (not) set on all such entries.

Having two different formats in the same file is very dirty and causes
external tools to fail hard trying to parse them. It is probably not a
good idea for them to parse them in the first place, but they do and we
shouldn't break them if there is a better way.
So we solve this issue for now by giving our deb822 format a new
filename extension ".sources" which unsupporting applications are likely
to ignore an can begin gradually moving forward rather than waiting for
the unknown applications to catch up.
Currently and for the forseeable future apt is going to support both
with the same feature set as documented in the manpage, with the
longtime plan of adopting the 'new' format as default, but that is a
long way to go and might get going more from having an easier time
setting options than from us pushing it explicitely.

We support arch= for a while, now we finally add lang= as well and as a
first simple way of controlling which targets to acquire also target=.
This asked for a redesign of the internal API of parsing and storing
information about 'deb' and 'deb-src' lines. As this API isn't visible
to the outside no damage done through.
Beside being a nice cleanup (= it actually does more in less lines) it
also provides us with a predictable order of architectures as provides
in the configuration rather than based on string sorting-order, so that
now the native architecture is parsed/displayed first. Observeable e.g.
in apt-get output.

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.

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.

Default is to acquire all architectures from APT::Architectures which
can be changed by arch=, but this isn't very flexible if you want
"mostly" the default as you have to hardcode the architectures then,
so arch-= and arch+= can be used to add/remove architectures from the
default set.
On a machine with 'amd64' and 'i386' configured the lines:
deb [arch+=armel] http://example.org/debian wheezy rocks
deb [arch-=amd64] http://example.org/debian jessie rocks
will result in the download of:
wheezy Packages for 'amd64', 'i386' and 'armel'
jessie Packages for 'i386'

doc/apt_preferences.5.xml:
- review and fix spelling issues
|

- remove 'GNU/Linux' from 'Debian systems' strings as Debian
has more systems than just GNU/Linux nowadays
|

|
|
- mark even more stuff as untranslateable and improve the
markup here and there (no real text change)

* doc/*.xml:
- find and fix a bunch of misspellings
|
|
- add trusted=yes option to mark unsigned (local) repository as trusted
based on a patch from Ansgar Burchardt, thanks a lot! (Closes: #596498)
Note that "apt-get update" still warns about unknown signatures even
when [trusted=yes] is given for the source.

- remove obsolete references to non-us (Closes: #594495)
|
|
- move some strings into apt-verbatim.ent to avoid showing them in
apt-doc.pot as they are untranslatable anyway (e.g. manpage references)
|
|
- add entities for the current oldstable/stable/testing codenames
* doc/sources.list.5.xml:
- use stable-codename instead of stable in the examples (Closes: #531492)
