2020-11-25Merge branch 'feature/rred' into 'master'Julian Andres Klode
Enhance rred for possible external usage See merge request apt-team/apt!136
2020-11-23Release 2.1.12Julian Andres Klode
2020-11-07Support compressed output from rred similar to apt-helper cat-fileDavid Kalnischkies
2020-11-07Prepare rred binary for external usageDavid Kalnischkies
Merging patches is a bit of non-trivial code we have for client-side work, but as we support also server-side merging we can export this functionality so that server software can reuse it. Note that this just cleans up and makes rred behave a bit more like all our other binaries by supporting setting configuration at runtime and supporting --help and --version. If you can make due without this, the now advertised functionality is provided already in earlier versions.

2020-06-03Allow 20 instead of 10 loops for pkgProblemResolverDavid Kalnischkies
Especially if a lot packages have to be removed due to not to explicitly expressed conflicts the problem resolver can take a few turns to remove them all. Allowing it to try a little longer if needed seems beneficial as the worst which can happen is that we now take two times as long to present an error message to the user.

2020-05-06Fully deprecate apt-key, schedule removal for Q2/2022Julian Andres Klode
People are still using apt-key add and friends, despite that not being guaranteed to work. Let's tell them to stop doing so. We might still want a list command at a future point, but this needs deciding, and a blanket ban atm seems like a sensible step until we figured that out.

2020-05-04doc/po: Merge nl with template, update templateJulian Andres Klode
We did not merge nl with the template when we updated it, hence we have quite a bit of churn in that commit and this one.

2020-04-09ubuntu: http: Add non-interactive to user agent if run by systemdJulian Andres Klode
Include that apt is being run from a service in the user agent, so traffic can be analysed for interactive vs non-interactive use, and prioritised accordingly. It looks like this now: User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (2.0.1) non-interactive A previous version included the full service names, but this raised some privacy concerns. LP: #1825000

2020-03-24configure-index: Add APT::Color optionJulian Andres Klode
This caused unbound error list growth, because each time we dumped an error, the calls to _config->FindB() inside operator << would add 3 new errors of the form: W: Using unknown config option »apt::color« of type BOOL Hence we are dumping an infinite list of errors, and eventually that list will exceed available memory.

2020-03-06Show absolute time while waiting for lock instead of %, rework messageJulian Andres Klode
Showing a percentage for a timeout is pretty non-standard. Rework the progress class so it can show an absolute progress (currently hardcoded to use seconds as a unit). If there is a timeout (aka if it's not the maximum long long unsigned -1llu), then show the timeout, otherwise just count up seconds, e.g. Waiting for cache lock: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 33842 (apt)... 1/120s or Waiting for cache lock: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 33842 (apt)... 1s Also improve the error message to use "Waiting for cache lock: %s" instead of "... (%s)", as having multiple sentences inside parenthesis is super weird, as is having two closing parens. We pass the information via _config, as that's reasonably easy and avoids ABI hackage. It also provides an interesting debugging tool for other kinds of progress.

2020-02-26apt(8): Wait for frontend and cache lockJulian Andres Klode
This is a rework of !6 with additional stuff for the frontend lock, so we can lock the frontend lock and then keep looping over dpkg lock.
