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.

* the good old 'simple' keyring format
* the ascii armored variant since 1.4
Not supported is the (new in gpg 2.1) keybox format.

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.

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).

The CDN service deb.d.o is more reliable than the http
redirector, so switch to it for our examples.

I probably missed that when I did the usability work. But better
late than never.

Distributions seem to install this stuff all over the place, so
let's add a common list of paths we know about.

We support "./foobar.deb" as a way to install a deb file directly.
Recently .changes files were added. This highlights a problem as you
can't add the changes file without also trying to install all of them.
Now, it could also be handy to add entire Packages/Sources files to
perhaps get a bunch of packages in without installing them all
implicitly.
This commit introduces --with-source which allows to add *.deb, *.changes,
*.dsc, source-dirs, Packages & Sources files (the later can also be
compressed) without also installing them.
|

This is much better than removing them in debian/rules.

This commit looks heavy. Most of that comes from the fact that the
ordering of files in the translations changed with the switch to
CMake. I could have gone the extra mile to figure out the original
ordering and replicate it, but I have chosen to re-order everything
by file and line number, as that's easier.

With b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f we dropped what we
calculated here later on and now that we don't need it in the meantime
either we can just skip the busy work by default and expect dpkg to do
the right thing dropping also our little "last explicit configures"
removal trick introduced in b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f.
This enables the last of a bunch of previously experimental options,
some of them existing still, but are very special and hence not really
worth documenting anymore (especially as it would need to be rewritten
now entirely) which is why the documentation is nearly completely
dropped.
The order of configuration stanzas in the simulation code changes
slightly as it isn't concerning itself with finding the 'right' order,
but any order is valid anyhow as long as the entire set happens in the
same call.

Telling dpkg early on that we are going to remove these packages later
helps it with auto-deconfiguration decisions and its another area where
a planner can ignore the nitty gritty details and let dpkg decide the
course of action if there are no special requirements.

Bye, bye, old friend.

This can now build all documentation. It should also be fairly
reusable for other projects, as long as they follow the same
naming scheme for the po4a output files and set the PACKAGE_*
variables used here.
We could have done all translations in a single call to po4a
like the makefile based buildsystem does. While that would
have made the output slightly nicer, this solution offers a
huge performance gain because it can translate the documents
in parallel, which also means that the xsltproc stage does not
have to wait for all translations to be done first.
You might think that the add_custom_command() should list the
actual output files as BYPRODUCTS. This is not true however:
Because the files are not always generated, Ninja will think
missing byproducts mean that the target is out of date - which
is not what we want.
Finally, also add the missing doxygen support. Note that the
packaging script cleans up some md5 and map files created by
doxygen, otherwise it is fairly boring.

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.

Commit b559d4846018c3adac362c6f1d0d697956586208 updated the
documentation to refer to apt.systemd.daily instead of the
apt cron job, introducing fuzzy strings in all the translations.

Yes, we might still add new features to 1.3 or break some more
stuff. Stay tuned!

All apt versions support numeric as well as 3-character timezones just
fine and its actually hard to write code which doesn't "accidently"
accepts it. So why change? Documenting the Date/Valid-Until fields in
the Release file is easy to do in terms of referencing the
datetime format used e.g. in the Debian changelogs (policy §4.4). This
format specifies only the numeric timezones through, not the nowadays
obsolete 3-character ones, so in the interest of least surprise we should
use the same format even through it carries a small risk of regression
in other clients (which encounter repositories created with
apt-ftparchive).
In case it is really regressing in practice, the hidden option
-o APT::FTPArchive::Release::NumericTimezone=0
can be used to go back to good old UTC as timezone.
The EDSP and EIPP protocols use this 'new' format, the text interface
used to communicate with the acquire methods does not for compatibility
reasons even if none of our methods would be effected and I doubt any
other would (in these instances the timezone is 'GMT' as that is what
HTTP/1.1 requires). Note that this is only true for apt talking to
methods, (libapt-based) methods talking to apt will respond with the
'new' format. It is therefore strongly adviced to support both also in
method input.

Debian isn't using 'update' anymore for years and the command is in
direct conflict with our goal of not requiring gnupg anymore, so it
is high time to officially declare this command as deprecated.
|
|
apt-key needs gnupg for most of its operations, but depending on it
isn't very efficient as apt-key is hardly used by users – and scripts
shouldn't use it to begin with as it is just a silly wrapper. To draw
more attention on the fact that e.g. 'apt-key add' should not be used in
favor of "just" dropping a keyring file into the trusted.gpg.d
directory this commit implements the display of warnings.
