Same reasoning as with the previous commit for http with the added
benefit of moving the hard to discover and untranslated example config
into a manpage which could be translated.
|
|
We had documentation for the http transport in our "catch-all" apt.conf
manpage, but it seems benefitial to document transports in their own
manpage instead of pushing them all into one.

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.

We accidentally did not translate the entity file, but should
have. This makes apt.ent translatable again. This generates the
target multiple times, but surprisingly, that works just fine, so
let's just keep it that way, as it's clean code otherwise.

Adding manpages is really hard it seems.

The documentation said "spaces", but there is no real reason to be so
strict and only allow spaces to separate values as that only leads to
very long lines if e.g. multiple URIs are specified which are again hard
to deal with from a user PoV which the deb822 format is supposed to
avoid. It also deals with multiple consecutive spaces and strange things
like tabs users will surely end up using in the real world.
The old behviour on encountering folded lines is the generation of URIs
which end up containing all these whitespace characters which tends to
mess really bad with output and further processing.

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.

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.
