2015-04-19a hit on Release files means the indexes will be hits tooDavid Kalnischkies
If we get a IMSHit for the Transaction-Manager (= the InRelease file or as its still supported fallback Release + Release.gpg combo) we can assume that every file we would queue based on this manager, but already have locally is current and hence would get an IMSHit, too. We therefore save us and the server the trouble and skip the queuing in this case. Beside speeding up repetative executions of 'apt-get update' this way we also avoid hitting hashsum errors if the indexes are in fact already updated, but the Release file isn't yet as it is the case on well behaving mirrors as Release files is updated last. The implementation is a bit harder than the theory makes it sound as we still have to keep reverifying the Release files (e.g. to detect now expired once to avoid an attacker being able to silently stale us) and have to handle cases in which the Release file hits, but some indexes aren't present (e.g. user added a new foreign architecture).
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
2014-11-08reenable patchsize limit option for pdiffsDavid Kalnischkies
One word: "doh!" Commit f6d4ab9ad8a2cfe52737ab620dd252cf8ceec43d disabled the check to prevent apt from downloading bigger patches than the index it tries to patch. Happens rarly of course, but still. Detected by scan-build complaining about a dead assignment. To make up for the mistake a test is included as well.

2014-09-30support parsing of all hashes for pdiffDavid Kalnischkies
The fileformat of a pdiff index stores currently only SHA1 hashes. With this change, we look for all other hashes we support as well and take what we get, so that we can work after the release of jessie to get right of SHA1 if we want to. Note that the completely patched file is and was checked against the hashes collected from the Release file, so this transition isn't mission critical.

2014-05-09use HashStringList in the acquire systemDavid Kalnischkies
It is not very extensible to have the supported Hashes hardcoded everywhere and especially if it is part of virtual method names. It is also possible that a method does not support the 'best' hash (yet), so we might end up not being able to verify a file even though we have a common subset of supported hashes. And those are just two of the cases in which it is handy to have a more dynamic selection. The downside is that this is a MAJOR API break, but the HashStringList has a string constructor for compatibility, so with a bit of luck the few frontends playing with the acquire system directly are okay.
2014-02-10always cleanup patchfiles at the end of rred callDavid Kalnischkies
With APT::Get::List-Cleanup disabled the ed-style patch files are lingering in the lists/ directory otherwise. That was kinda okay in the old none-client-merge as the filename was always the same so it was constantly overridden, but now with different names for client-merge quiet a few could pill up on the system and are used by the next call as it picks them up based on the filename.
2014-01-15integrate Anthonys rred with POC for client-side mergeDavid Kalnischkies
Providing the benefits of both without the downsides :) (ABI breaks or external dependencies) For this Anthonys rred is equipped with: - magic-filename-pickup of patches rather than explicit messages - use of FileFd instead of FILE* to get on-the-fly uncompress of the gzip compressed pdiff patches The acquire code in turn stops checking for apt-file's helper as our own rred is now clever enough for our needs.
2013-12-13implement POC client-side merging of pdiffs via apt-fileDavid Kalnischkies
The idea of pdiffs is to avoid downloading the hole file by patching the existing index. This works very well, but becomes slow if a lot of patches needs to be applied to reconstruct an up-to-date index and in recent years more and more dinstall (or similar) runs are executed creating more and more pdiffs in the same amount of time, so pdiffs became less useful. The solution is simple: Reduce the amount of patches (which are very small) which need to be applied on top of the index we have available (which is usually pretty big). This can be done in two ways: Either merge the patches on the server-side so that the client has to download only one patch or the patches are all downloaded and merged on the client-side. The first needs a client who is doing one step at a time who can also skip patches if it needs (APT supports this for a long time now). The later is implemented by this commit, but depends on the server NOT merging the patches and the patches being in a strict order in which no patch is skipped. This is traditionally the case for dak, but other repository creators support merging – e.g. reprepro (which helpfully adds a flag indicating that the patches are merged). To support both or even mixes a client needs more information which isn't available for now. This POC uses the external diffindex-rred included in apt-file to do the heavy lifting of merging & applying all patches in one pass, hence to test this feature apt-file needs to be installed.
2013-08-28configurable compression for testcasesDavid Kalnischkies
Compressing files in 4 different styles eats test-time for no practical gain if we don't test them explicitly, so default to just building 'gz' compressed files as it is the simplest compression algorithm supported Git-Dch: Ignore
2013-08-12add chronic-like testsuccess/testfailure helpersDavid Kalnischkies
For many commands the output isn't stable (like then dpkg is called) but the exitcode is, so this helper enhances the common && msgpass || msgfail by generating automatically a msgtest and showing the output of the command in case of failure instead of discarding it unconditionally, the later being chronic-like behaviour Git-Dch: Ignore
2013-06-24simple fork and pidfile aptwebserverDavid Kalnischkies
Forking only after being ready to accept clients avoids running races with the tests which sometimes failed on the first 'apt-get update' (or similar) with the previous background-start and hope for the best… The commit fixes also some oversight output-order changes in regards to Description-md5 and (I-M-S) race conditions in various tests.

- don't use ReadOnlyGzip mode for PDiffs as this mode doesn't work in combination with the AddFd methods of our hashclasses Add also 2 testcases: one to test pdiffs in general and one to test the handling of compressed indexes.
