2015-09-14tests: try to support spaces in TMPDIRDavid Kalnischkies
Not all tests work yet, most notable the cdrom tests, but those require changes in libapt itself to have a proper fix and what we have fixed so far is good enough progress for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-31if file is inaccessible for _apt, disable privilege drop in acquireDavid Kalnischkies
We had a very similar method previously for our own private usage, but with some generalisation we can move this check into the acquire system proper so that all frontends profit from this compatibility change. As we are disabling a security feature here a warning is issued and frontends are advised to consider reworking their download logic if possible. Note that this is implemented as an all or nothing situation: We can't just (not) drop privileges for a subset of the files in a fetcher, so in case you have to download some files with and some without you need to use two fetchers.
2015-06-15condense parallel requests with the same hashes to oneDavid Kalnischkies
It shouldn't be too common, but sometimes people have multiple mirrors in the sources or otherwise repositories with the same content. Now that we gracefully can handle multiple requests to the same URI, we can also fold multiple requests with the same expected hashes into one. Note that this isn't trying to find oppertunities for merging, but just merges if it happens to encounter the oppertunity for it. This is most obvious in the new testcase actually as it needs to delay the action to give the acquire system enough time to figure out that they can be merged.
2015-06-15deal better with acquiring the same URI multiple timesDavid Kalnischkies
This is an unlikely event for indexes and co, but it can happen quiet easily e.g. for changelogs where you want to get the changelogs for multiple binary package(version)s which happen to all be built from a single source. The interesting part is that the Acquire system actually detected this already and set the item requesting the URI again to StatDone - expect that this is hardly sufficient: an Item must be Complete=true as well to be considered truely done and that is only the tip of the ::Done handling iceberg. So instead of this StatDone hack we allow QItems to be owned by multiple items and notify all owners about everything now, so that for the point of each item they got it downloaded just for them.
