2020-04-09ubuntu: http: Add non-interactive to user agent if run by systemdJulian Andres Klode
Include that apt is being run from a service in the user agent, so traffic can be analysed for interactive vs non-interactive use, and prioritised accordingly. It looks like this now: User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (2.0.1) non-interactive A previous version included the full service names, but this raised some privacy concerns. LP: #1825000
2016-02-11use local changelog from /usr/share/doc if possibleDavid Kalnischkies
If pkgAcqChangelog is told to acquire the changelog for a version it will check first if this version is installed on the disk and if so will use the local changelog in /usr/share/doc (possibily/likely gz compressed) instead of downloading the file from the web. An option is provided to disable this, which is enabled by default for the Ubuntu vendor as they truncate the local changelogs – and for apts --print-uris action.
2015-08-10bring back deb822 sources.list entries as .sourcesDavid Kalnischkies
Having two different formats in the same file is very dirty and causes external tools to fail hard trying to parse them. It is probably not a good idea for them to parse them in the first place, but they do and we shouldn't break them if there is a better way. So we solve this issue for now by giving our deb822 format a new filename extension ".sources" which unsupporting applications are likely to ignore an can begin gradually moving forward rather than waiting for the unknown applications to catch up. Currently and for the forseeable future apt is going to support both with the same feature set as documented in the manpage, with the longtime plan of adopting the 'new' format as default, but that is a long way to go and might get going more from having an easier time setting options than from us pushing it explicitely.
2015-06-15provide a public interface for acquiring changelogsDavid Kalnischkies
Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try to download if it should just be displayed or similar such. The URI is constructed as follows: Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field, otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or "Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct), while the rest of the URI varies widely between them. The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists). If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin. Closes: 687147, 739854, 784027, 787190
2014-04-26allow vendors to install configuration filesDavid Kalnischkies
Vendors like ubuntu need to change some options, so giving them a way to do this less painfully avoids reducing differences.
2014-03-13autogenerate makefile for vendor systemDavid Kalnischkies
It can be useful to have a whole makefile available for vendor setup, but by providing a basic one we can deal with the simple cases more easily (and changes to the system are presumably easier).

2013-12-01generate apt-key script with vendor info about keysDavid Kalnischkies
The apt-key script uses quiet a few keyring files for operation which are specific to the distribution it is build on and is hence one of the most patched parts – even if it is not that often used anymore now that a fragment directory for trusted.gpg exists.
2013-11-30use a substvar to set the archive-keyring in debian/controlDavid Kalnischkies
Adds a small helper to extract the small information bits we store in apt-vendor.ent and uses it in debian/rules to set apt:keyring as a substvar for debian/control populated with the &keyring-package; info
2013-11-30add a vendor specific file to have configurable entitiesDavid Kalnischkies
manpages sometimes refer to distro-specific things like the name of the package providing the achive-keyring. Having a central place to configure this helps in having it consistent in the manpages and allows to load this info from other places in the buildsystem as well later.
2013-11-30introduce a vendor system to change sources.listDavid Kalnischkies
Many derivatives make quiet a few simple changes to apt introducing silly diffs just to change examples and co making it harder for them to update apt and harder for us to merge real changes back. First stop: doc/examples/sources.list
