2018-05-28Use a steady clock source for progress reportingDavid Kalnischkies
Clock changes while apt is running can result in strange reports confusing (and amusing) users. Sadly, to keep the ABI for now the code is a bit more ugly than it would need to be.

2017-07-12Reformat and sort all includes with clang-formatJulian Andres Klode
This makes it easier to see which headers includes what. The changes were done by running git grep -l '#\s*include' \ | grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \ | xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/' To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running ./git-clang-format.sh.

2016-05-28look into the right textdomain for apt-utils againDavid Kalnischkies
Broken in e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 by looking always into "apt" while we ship some tools in "apt-utils"…

2015-11-29use function pointers instead of weak symbols for cmdline parsingDavid Kalnischkies
Passing function pointers around while working on this was very icky, but if weak symbols are too much to ask for… Reverts "do not use "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" during the build to avoid breakage" aka a5fc9be36211a290a7abc3ca2a8bf98943bc1f57.

2015-11-04support arch:all data e.g. in separate Packages fileDavid Kalnischkies
Based on a discussion with Niels Thykier who asked for Contents-all this implements apt trying for all architecture dependent files to get a file for the architecture all, which is treated internally now as an official architecture which is always around (like native). This way arch:all data can be shared instead of duplicated for each architecture requiring the user to download the same information again and again. There is one problem however: In Debian there is already a binary-all/ Packages file, but the binary-any files still include arch:all packages, so that downloading this file now would be a waste of time, bandwidth and diskspace. We therefore need a way to decide if it makes sense to download the all file for Packages in Debian or not. The obvious answer would be a special flag in the Release file indicating this, which would need to default to 'no' and every reasonable repository would override it to 'yes' in a few years time, but the flag would be there "forever". Looking closer at a Release file we see the field "Architectures", which doesn't include 'all' at the moment. With the idea outlined above that 'all' is a "proper" architecture now, we interpret this field as being authoritative in declaring which architectures are supported by this repository. If it says 'all', apt will try to get all, if not it will be skipped. This gives us another interesting feature: If I configure a source to download armel and mips, but it declares it supports only armel apt will now print a notice saying as much. Previously this was a very cryptic failure. If on the other hand the repository supports mips, too, but for some reason doesn't ship mips packages at the moment, this 'missing' file is silently ignored (= that is the same as the repository including an empty file). The Architectures field isn't mandatory through, so if it isn't there, we assume that every architecture is supported by this repository, which skips the arch:all if not listed in the release file.
2015-11-04revamp all tools help messagesDavid Kalnischkies
The general idea is: A small paragraph on the tool itself as a description, a list of the most used (!= all) commands available in the tool, a remark where to find more information on the tool and its commands (aka: in the manpage) and finally a common block referring to even more manpages. In exchange options are completely omitted from the output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them sanely in this context.

2015-11-04move apts cmdline helper type into -privateDavid Kalnischkies
Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04generate commands array after config is loadedDavid Kalnischkies
This ensures that location strings loaded from a location specified via configuration (Dir::Locale) effect the help messages for commands. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04deduplicate main methodsDavid Kalnischkies
All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to move the common parts into -private to have the real differences more visible. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04split up help messages for simpler reuseDavid Kalnischkies
That is one huge commit with busy work only: Help messages used to be one big translateable string, which is a pain for translators and hard to reuse for us. This change there 'explodes' this single string into new string for each documented string trying hard to split up the translated messages as well. This actually restores many translations as previously adding a single command made all of the bug message fuzzy. The splitup also highlighted that its easy to forget a line, duplicate one and similar stuff. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-05-11rewrite all TFRewrite instances to use the new pkgTagSection::WriteDavid Kalnischkies
While it is mostly busywork to rewrite all instances it actually fixes bugs as the data storage used by the new method is std::string rather than a char*, the later mostly created by c_str() from a std::string which the caller has to ensure keeps in scope – something apt-ftparchive actually didn't ensure and relied on copy-on-write behavior instead which c++11 forbids and hence the new default gcc abi doesn't use it.
2015-03-16stop displaying time of build in online helpJérémy Bobbio
As part of the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that apt could not be built reproducibly. One issue is that it uses the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros of the C preprocessor to display the time of build in the online help. We believe this information not to be really useful to users as they can always look at the package data and metadata to figure it out. The attached patch simply removes this information. All non-documentation packages can then be built reproducibly with our current experimental framework. [David: changed the string slightly to be untranslateable as well] Closes: 774342

2014-11-09streamline display of --help in all toolsDavid Kalnischkies
By convention, if I run a tool with --help or --version I expect it to exit successfully with the usage, while if I do call it wrong (like without any parameters) I expect the usage message shown with a non-zero exit.
2014-09-03Make Packages & Sources generation optional, during Generate callDimitri John Ledkov
refactor a bit, extract code out of Generate() into DoGenerate{PackagesAndSources,Contents}, add new APT::FTPArchive::ContentsOnly option to allow skipping the generation of Package/Source files (if they are generated e.g. by some db outside of apt-ftparchives control)

the compressed files as we want them and to prevent the file to be replaced without a reason which could save us from steady redownloads of a file with the same content.

2010-03-22* ftparchive/writer.cc:David Kalnischkies
- write LongDescriptions if they shouldn't be included in Packages file into i18n/Translation-en by default. It is ensured that each package+description is listed only ones in the Translation file even if we generate multiple Packages file in one run. The file is only generated in "generate" - the simple file commands can't create it by now. Also, the LongDescription is currently a global setting, so generating archives with and without LongDescriptions in the Packages file in the same run are currently not possible.
2010-02-18 - add --arch option for apt-ftparchive packages and contents commandsDavid Kalnischkies
