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.

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.

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.

The exception was made to give (script) users a one-release grace period
to adapt their setup to deal with apt enforcing signing of repositories.
As we are now at the start of a new release cycle its as good a time as
any to lift it now.

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.

Committer notes:
po file from #852485, patch applied from msg #2, further adapted as the
patch the --fix-broken string is referring to apt instead of apt-get.
Also changing the dot in "&apt-cache. &apt;" to a semicolon to fix the
syntax error and refreshed to drop the outdated fuzzy comments.

Most of them in (old) code comments. The two instances of user visible
string changes the po files of the manpages are fixed up as well.

While unlikely, it would be embarrising if we would need a freeze
exception for such a change, so lets do the flip now.

We are basically frozen now, but (a) this wildcard thing
is a bit "explosive" to call this RC and (b) you never know
if you might need to add a new tiny feature and freeze can
be long...

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.

Users end up believing that this is a --force mode as -f is common for
that, but apt doesn't have such a mode and --fix-broken is really not
about forcing something but actually trying to fix the breakage which
tends to be the result of a user forcing something on its system via
low-level forced dpkg calls.
Example: The "common" pattern of "dpkg -i ./foo.deb; apt install -f" is
nowadays far better dealt with via "apt install ./foo.deb".
And while at it the two places handing out this suggestion are changed
to use the same strings to avoid needless translation work in the future
and the suggestion uses 'apt' instead of 'apt-get' as this will be run
interactively by a user, so its a good opportunity to showcase what we
can do and will allow us to be more helpful to the user.

The implementation is quite different compared to --arch-only due to ABI
reasons but functionality wise they are similar and usually both
available for symmetry at least.

No need to ask translators to deal with typo fixes in english text,
adding new items to long existing lists and 'literals'.

This also changes Acquire-By-Hash to be "yes" rather than "true", so it
is consistent with dak's output.
Closes: #272557

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).
