2018-01-03reimplement and simplify mirror:// methodDavid Kalnischkies
Embedding an entire acquire stack and HTTP logic in the mirror method made it rather heavy weight and fragile. This reimplement goes the other way by doing only the bare minimum in the method itself and instead redirect the actual download of files to their proper methods. The reimplementation drops the (in the real world) unused query-string feature as it isn't really implementable in the new architecture.
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.

2016-08-10implement generic config fallback for methodsDavid Kalnischkies
The https method implemented for a long while now a hardcoded fallback to the same options in http, which, while it works, is rather inflexible if we want to allow the methods to use another name to change their behavior slightly, like apt-transport-tor does to https – most of the diff being s#https#tor#g which then fails to do the full circle fallthrough tor -> https -> http for https sources. With this config infrastructure this could be implemented now.
2016-05-28use std::locale::global instead of setlocaleDavid Kalnischkies
We use a wild mixture of C and C++ ways of generating output, so having a consistent world-view in both styles sounds like a good idea and should help in preventing regressions.
2014-10-13Fix backward compatiblity of the new pkgAcquireMethod::DropPrivsOrDie()Michael Vogt
Do not drop privileges in the methods when using a older version of libapt that does not support the chown magic in partial/ yet. To do this DropPrivileges() now will ignore a empty Apt::Sandbox::User. Cleanup all hardcoded _apt along the way.

2014-09-24Drop Privileges to "Debian-apt" in most acquire methodsMichael Vogt
Add a new "Debian-apt" user that owns the /var/lib/apt/lists and /var/cache/apt/archive directories. The methods http, https, ftp, gpgv, gzip switch to this user when they start. Thanks to Julian and "ioerror" and tors "switch_id()" code.
2014-03-13cleanup headers and especially #includes everywhereDavid Kalnischkies
Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems I have with high levels of parallel jobs. Git-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: iwyu (include-what-you-use)
2011-09-13reorder includes: add <config.h> if needed and include it at firstDavid Kalnischkies
2009-07-14* apt-pkg/acquire-worker.cc:Michael Vogt
- show error details of failed methods * apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc: - if a process aborts with signal, show signal number * methods/http.cc: - ignore SIGPIPE, we deal with EPIPE from write in HttpMethod::ServerDie() (LP: #385144)
2006-11-29* prototype of mirror method addedMichael Vogt
