pu/zstd
See merge request apt-team/apt!8
|
|
|
|
zstd is a compression algorithm developed by facebook. At level 19,
it is about 6% worse in size than xz -6, but decompression is multiple
times faster, saving about 40% install time, especially with eatmydata
on cloud instances.

Check that Date of Release file is not in the future
See merge request apt-team/apt!3
|
|
By restricting the Date field to be in the past, an attacker cannot
just create a repository from the future that would be accepted as
a valid update for a repository.
This check can be disabled by Acquire::Check-Date set to false. This
will also disable Check-Valid-Until and any future date related checking,
if any - the option means: "my computers date cannot be trusted."
Modify the tests to allow repositories to be up to 10 hours in the
future, so we can keep using hours there to simulate time changes.

The testpackages hardly need debhelper at all, so any version would do,
and they build without root rights by definition, but declaring it
explicitly can't hurt and in the case of debhelper it would be sad if
our testcases break one day because the old compat level is removed.

apt 1.6~alpha6 introduced aux requests to revamp the implementation of
a-t-mirror. This already included the potential of running as non-root,
but the detection wasn't complete resulting in errors or could produce
spurious warnings along the way if the directory didn't exist yet.

If a method needs a file to operate like e.g. mirror needs to get a list
of mirrors before it can redirect the the actual requests to them. That
could easily be solved by moving the logic into libapt directly, but by
allowing a method to request other methods to do something we can keep
this logic contained in the method and allow e.g. also methods which
perform binary patching or similar things.
Previously they would need to implement their own acquire system inside
the existing one which in all likelyhood will not support the same
features and methods nor operate with similar security compared to what
we have already running 'above' the requesting method. That said, to
avoid methods producing conflicts with "proper" files we are downloading
a new directory is introduced to keep the auxiliary files in.
[The message magic number 351 is a tribute to the german Grundgesetz
article 35 paragraph 1 which defines that all authorities of the
state(s) help each other on request.]

For deb files we always supported falling back from one server to the
other if one failed to download the deb, but that was hardwired in the
handling of this specific item. Moving this alongside the retry
infrastructure we can implement it for all items and allow methods to
use this as well by providing additional URIs in a redirect.
|
|
Moving the Retry-implementation from individual items to the worker
implementation not only gives every file retry capability instead of
just a selected few but also avoids needing to implement it in each item
(incorrectly).

We did not strip away profiling messages when we were diffing
from stdin (-). Just always write temporary files and strip from
them.
We also had a problem when stripping ...profiling: from a line
and the next line starts with profiling. Split the sed into two
calls so we first remove complete profiling: lines before fixing
the ...profiling: cases.

gpg2 generates keyboxes by default and users end up putting either those
or armored files into the trusted.gpg.d directory which apt tools
neither expect nor can really work with without fortifying backward
compatibility (at least under the ".gpg" extension).
A (short) discussion about how to deal with keyboxes happened in
https://lists.debian.org/deity/2017/07/msg00083.html
As the last message in that thread is this changeset lets go ahead
with it and see how it turns out.
The idea is here simply that we check the first octal of a gpg file to
have one of three accepted values. Testing on my machines has always
produced just one of these, but running into those values on invalid
files is reasonabily unlikely to not worry too much.

Failing on too much data is good, but we can do better by checking for
exact filesizes as we know with hashsums how large a file should be, so
if we get a file which has a size we do not expect we can drop it
directly, regardless of if the file is larger or smaller than what we
expect which should catch most cases which would end up as hashsum
errors later now a lot sooner.

On Travis CI running tests with code coverage enabled sometimes
generates profiling lines, which we filter out for a while now,
but that misses lines generated showing progress still causing test
failures, so more sed logic is added in the hopes to ignore them.

Changes in the past to the buildsystem and the testing framework broke

We setup a "horrible" environment in the apt-key testcase to check all
kinds of things, but we really should be making also at least a simple
apt update call, as that in turn will call apt-key which is how apt-key
is used in the non-testcase world, so that calling should be able to
deal with such environments as well.

We want to kill the agent if its home directory exists at that location,

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.

Importing a new secret key into gpg(2) can be increadibly slow which
prolongs the test runs significantly – by caching the homedir we gain a
significant speedbonus as reimporting already present keys seems like a
far less costly operation.

The test test-handle-redirect-as-used-mirror-change serves multiple
clients at the same time, so the order of the output is undefined and
once in a while the two clients will intermix their lines causing the
grep we perform on it later to fail making our tests fail.
Solved by introducing client-specific logfiles which we all grep and
sort the result to have the results more stable.

This also changes Acquire-By-Hash to be "yes" rather than "true", so it
is consistent with dak's output.

On Travis CI running tests with code coverage enabled sometimes
generates lines like:
profiling:/path/to/file.gcda:Merge mismatch for function 257
It would be nice if we could resolve this somehow as it garbles the
statistics, but until then it is far more annoying that this causes
test failures for no good reason.

We can't cleanup the environment like e.g. sudo would do as you usually
want the environment to "leak" into these helpers, but some variables
like HOME should really not have still the value of the root user – it
could confuse the helpers (USER) and HOME isn't accessible anyhow.

Even if we only configure a single architecture, install dpkg, so
dpkg can assert multi arch correctly. This also has the nice side
effect of making single architecture and multiple architecture
test cases more uniform.
This fixes a regression from f878d3a862128bc1385616751ae1d78246b1bd01
("test: Assert multi-arch in the chroot").

Introduce a new -qq mode for our integration test framework,
and make travis use it.
The new -qq mode sets MSGLEVEL to 1. In MSGLEVEL=1, no messages
are generated for passed tests, and all testcase filenames are
printed in the same line.
Also install first in travis, do not ls the installed output
and run the install with chronic, so we only get output if it
failed.

Without randomizing the order in which we download the index files we
leak needlessly information to the mirrors of which architecture is
native or foreign on this system. More importantly, we leak the order in
which description translations will be used which in most cases will e.g.
have the native tongue first.
Note that the leak effect in practice is limited as apt detects if a file
it wants to download is already available in the latest version from a
previous download and does not query the server in such cases. Combined
with the fact that Translation files are usually updated infrequently
and not all at the same time, so a mirror can never be sure if it got asked
about all files the user wants.

On BSD systems, the root group is wheel, not root, so let's
just use the default group here.

The host system might not have a dpkg installed, which makes
dpkg fail with:
dpkg not recorded as installed, cannot check for multi-arch support!
That's entirely useless of course. We want to know if dpkg could
support multi-arch in our chroot, so we pseudo-install dpkg into
the chroot and pretend it's version is one version higher than
the minimum dpkg version, so dpkg --assert-multi-arch works on
recent dpkgs.

This check should work regardless if dpkg was installed by dpkg
or by a native package manager like RPM or pkg.

This is more safe against sticky bits. For example, in FreeBSD
all files created in /tmp have the group set to wheel.

This breaks the tests with FreeBSD's shell, and is not needed -

Use of echo with special characters is not portable. On a normal
POSIX system, the behavior with backslash escaped strings is
implementation-defined. On an XSI-conformant system, they must
be interpreted.
A way out is the printf command - printf "%b" specifies that
the following argument is to be printed with backslash escapes
interpreted.

Especially on non-Debian platforms, dpkg might not list itself
on the host system, and thus dpkg --assert-multi-arch fails.

Our test suite assumes that dpkg's admindir is var/lib/dpkg. This
might not always be true; for example, on FreeBSD, it is located
at /var/db/dpkg.

This allows other vendors to use different paths, or to build
your own APT in /opt for testing. Note that this uses + 1 in
some places, as the paths we receive are absolute, but we need
to strip of the initial /.

In most cases apt was already skipping the (re)setting of packages as
to be removed/purged if dpkg had told us that it already did, but we
haven't dealt with it in the most obvious of the cases: Selections set
for packages we touched in this operation which either restores
selections even dpkg would have overridden or e.g. tries to restore a
purge selection for a package which was just purged – does not happen
with apt itself as it isn't using selections in this way, but higher
frontends like aptitude do.
The result in the later case is a warning printed by dpkg that we try to
set selections for an unknown package, which is harmless per se, but can
be confusing for users and we really shouldn't cause warnings in dpkg if
we can help it.

The bugreport shows a segfault caused by the code not doing the correct
magical dance to remove an item from inside a queue in all cases. We
could try hard to fix this, but it is actually better and also easier to
perform these checks (which cause instant failure) earlier so that they
haven't entered queue(s) yet, which in return makes cleanup trivial.
The result is that we actually end up failing "too early" as if we
wouldn't be careful download errors would be logged before that process
was even started. Not a problem for the acquire system, but likely to
confuse users and programs alike if they see the download process
producing errors before apt was technically allowed to do an acquire
(it didn't, so no violation, but it looks like it to the untrained eye).

We need to support partial upgrades anyhow, so we have to deal with the
different versions and your tests try to ensure that we do, so we
shouldn't make any explicit higher requirements.
