2015-11-04allow all dpkg selections to be set via apt-mark and libaptDavid Kalnischkies
As we have support for 'hold', we need support for undoing a hold which in effect means that we implemented most other states as well, just that they weren't exposed in the interface directly so far.
2015-11-04provide public interface to hold/unhold packagesDavid Kalnischkies
We had this code lying around in apt-mark for a while now, but other frontends need this (and similar) functionality as well, so its high time that we provide a public interface in libapt for this stuff.
2015-03-16test exitcode as well as string equalityDavid Kalnischkies
We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for a specific output as well. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-11-19use dpkg --merge-avail only if needed in apt-markDavid Kalnischkies
Only "recent" versions of dpkg support stdin for merge instead of a file, so as a quick fix we delay calling it until we really need it which fixes most of the problem already. Checking for a specific dpkg version here is deemed too much work, just like using a temporary file here and depends a too high requirement for this minor usecase. After all, it didn't work at all before, so we break nobody here and can fix it if someone complains (with a patch).
2014-11-18various small additional tests and testcasesDavid Kalnischkies
Usually they don't provide a lot in terms of what they test, but they help in covering many lines from strictly anecdotal commands (stats, moo) and error messages, so that stuff which really needs to be tested, but isn't is better visible in coverage reports. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-11-09allow uninstalled packages to be put on holdDavid Kalnischkies
dpkg wants to know about a package before it can be put on hold, so we have to at least hint about its existance in the available file it "maintaince" to know about such stuff. The simple thing would probably be to just feed all Packages files into dpkg as well, but what would be the point really? Exactly, so we take a shortcut here and just create dummies in the available file if we need to which isn't going to be that common as usually you are holding packages back and not off. Who would have thought that a simple feature like setting a package on hold requires more than 200 lines of codeā€¦ at least with the testcase it is now explicitly tested code.
