2016-11-09rename Checksum-FileSize to Filesize in hashsum mismatchDavid Kalnischkies
Some people do not recognize the field value with such an arcane name and/or expect it to refer to something different (e.g. #839257). We can't just rename it internally as its an avoidance strategy as such fieldname existed previously with less clear semantics, but we can spare the general public from this implementation detail.
2016-06-22add [weak] tag to hash errors to indicate insufficiencyDavid Kalnischkies
For "Hash Sum mismatch" that info doesn't make a whole lot of difference, but for the new insufficient info message an indicator that while this hashes are there and even match, they aren't enough from a security standpoint.
2016-04-25show more details for "Writing more data" errors, tooDavid Kalnischkies
They are the small brothers of the hashsum mismatch, so they deserve a similar treatment even through we have for architectual reasons not a much to display as for hashsum mismatches for now.
2016-04-25show more details for "Hash Sum mismatch" errorsDavid Kalnischkies
Users tend to report these errors with just this error message… not very actionable and hard to figure out if this is a temporary or 'permanent' mirror-sync issue or even the occasional apt bug. Showing the involved hashsums and modification times should help in triaging these kind of bugs – and eventually we will have less of them via by-hash. The subheaders aren't marked for translation for now as they are technical glibberish and probably easier to deal with if not translated. After all, our iconic "Hash Sum mismatch" is translated at least. These additions were proposed in #817240 by Peter Palfrader.
2016-04-25drop empty line from fetch errorDavid Kalnischkies
This is a duplicate of sorts of 0efb29eb36184bbe6de7b1013d1898796d94b171 which is the a lot more frequent case of this error – and also a duplicate of this error message, just without the \n at the end. Git-Dch: Ignore
2016-03-14enforce verify of filesize in 'apt-get source'David Kalnischkies
The structure we parse the data into has a dedicated size field, but it tends to be easier to handle it as a (very weak) checksum.
2016-03-13Do not consider SHA1 usableJulian Andres Klode
SHA1 is not reasonably secure anymore, so we should not consider it usable anymore. The test suite is adjusted to account for this.
2016-02-03avoid building dependency tree in 'source' commandDavid Kalnischkies
We don't need the dependencies for obvious reasons and we don't need the candidate version either, so building a pkgDepCache is wasted effort, which we can stop doing now that build-dep cleared the path.
2015-12-19tests: support spaces in path and TMPDIRDavid Kalnischkies
This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to write tests which could run successfully in such environments. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-15tests: don't use hardcoded port for http and httpsDavid Kalnischkies
This allows running tests in parallel. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-01use unusable-for-security hashes for integrity checksDavid Kalnischkies
We want to declare some hashes as not enough for security, so that a user will need --allow-unauthenticated or similar to get data secured only by those hashes, but we can still us these hashes for integrity checks if we got them.
2015-09-01Consider md5sum no longer a usable hashMichael Vogt
The md5sum hash is broken since some time and we should no longer consider it a usable hash. Also update the tests to reflect this.
2015-06-15show item ID in Hit, Ign and Err lines as wellDavid Kalnischkies
Again, consistency is the main sellingpoint here, but this way it is now also easier to explain that some files move through different stages and lines are printed for them hence multiple times: That is a bit hard to believe if the number is changing all the time, but now that it keeps consistent.
2015-06-11show URI.Path in all acquire item descriptionsDavid Kalnischkies
It is a rather strange sight that index items use SiteOnly which strips the Path, while e.g. deb files are downloaded with NoUserPassword which does not. Important to note here is that for the file transport Path is pretty important as there is no Host which would be displayed by Site, which always resulted in "interesting" unspecific errors for "file:". Adding a 'middle' ground between the two which does show the Path but potentially modifies it (it strips a pending / at the end if existing) solves this "file:" issue, syncs the output and in the end helps to identify which file is meant exactly in progress output and co as a single site can have multiple repositories in different paths.
2015-06-09rework hashsum verification in the acquire systemDavid Kalnischkies
Having every item having its own code to verify the file(s) it handles is an errorprune process and easy to break, especially if items move through various stages (download, uncompress, patching, …). With a giant rework we centralize (most of) the verification to have a better enforcement rate and (hopefully) less chance for bugs, but it breaks the ABI bigtime in exchange – and as we break it anyway, it is broken even harder. It shouldn't effect most frontends as they don't deal with the acquire system at all or implement their own items, but some do and will need to be patched (might be an opportunity to use apt on-board material). The theory is simple: Items implement methods to decide if hashes need to be checked (in this stage) and to return the expected hashes for this item (in this stage). The verification itself is done in worker message passing which has the benefit that a hashsum error is now a proper error for the acquire system rather than a Done() which is later revised to a Failed().
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
2014-10-23chown finished partial files earlierDavid Kalnischkies
partial files are chowned by the Item baseclass to let the methods work with them. Now, this baseclass is also responsible for chowning the files back to root instead of having various deeper levels do this. The consequence is that all overloaded Failed() methods now call the Item::Failed base as their first step. The same is done for Done(). The effect is that even in partial files usually don't belong to _apt anymore, helping sneakernets and reducing possibilities of a bad method modifying files not belonging to them. The change is supported by the framework not only supporting being run as root, but with proper permission management, too, so that privilege dropping can be tested with them.
2014-05-09reenable pipelining via hashsum reordering supportDavid Kalnischkies
Now that methods have the expected hashes available they can check if the response from the server is what they expected. Pipelining is one of those areas in which servers can mess up by not supporting it properly, which forced us to disable it for the time being. Now, we check if we got a response out of order, which we can not only use to disable pipelining automatically for the next requests, but we can fix it up just like the server responded in proper order for the current requests. To ensure that this little trick works pipelining is only attempt if we have hashsums for all the files in the chain which in theory reduces the use of pipelining usage even on the many servers which work properly, but in practice only the InRelease file (or similar such) will be requested without a hashsum – and as it is the only file requested in that stage it can't be pipelined even if we wanted to. Some minor annoyances remain: The display of the progress we have doesn't reflect this change, so it looks like the same package gets downloaded multiple times while others aren't at all. Further more, partial files are not supported in this recovery as the received data was appended to the wrong file, so the hashsum doesn't match. Both seem to be minor enough to reenable pipelining by default until further notice through to test if it really solves the problem. This therefore reverts commit 8221431757c775ee875a061b184b5f6f2330f928.
2014-05-09use 'best' hash for source authenticationDavid Kalnischkies
Collect all hashes we can get from the source record and put them into a HashStringList so that 'apt-get source' can use it instead of using always the MD5sum. We therefore also deprecate the MD5 struct member in favor of the list. While at it, the parsing of the Files is enhanced so that records which miss "Files" (aka MD5 checksums) are still searched for other checksums as they include just as much data, just not with a nice and catchy name.
