Translate shared documentation parts again

2017-11-20T20:48:30Z

We accidentally did not translate the entity file, but should have. This makes apt.ent translatable again. This generates the target multiple times, but surprisingly, that works just fine, so let's just keep it that way, as it's clean code otherwise.

CMake: Get rid of some debugging messages

2017-10-25T22:30:48Z

This fixes a regression introduced in commit 43b9eb5bac15666fdc0346aca7031fab0fa5e064 CMake: methods: Cleanup link libraries, use OBJECT libraries Gbp-Dch: ignore

CMake: methods: Cleanup link libraries, use OBJECT libraries

2017-10-23T02:19:19Z

Use OBJECT libraries for http and connect stuff, and move the seccomp link expression into a global link_libraries() call. This also fixes a bug where only the http target pulled in the gnutls header arguments despite gnutls being used in connect.cc, and thus by mirror and ftp as well. Adjust translation support to ignore TARGET_OBJECTS sources and add the OBJECT libraries to the translated files.

Sandbox methods with seccomp-BPF; except cdrom, gpgv, rsh

2017-10-22T21:38:31Z

This reduces the number of syscalls to about 140 from about 350 or so, significantly reducing security risks. Also change prepare-release to ignore the architecture lists in the build dependencies when generating the build-depends package for travis. We might want to clean up things a bit more and/or move it somewhere else.

Directly link against libudev on Linux systems

2017-09-09T19:07:31Z

We previously dlopen()ed it, but it seems painful to do that without any real gain, except for possibly not having libudev in the address space and not having code #ifdefed for Linux. The latter means that we are a bit more likely to break stuff for non-Linux systems now if we play with udev, but at least we don't end up with it silently breaking because of a libudev ABI break. The existing function pointers in the struct were renamed and kept for compat purposes. Fixes Debian/apt#48 Also adjust prepare-release to strip [linux-any] from build-depends for travis.

reimplement and document auth.conf

2017-07-26T17:09:04Z

We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing 518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer exists making the feature even more arcane. On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style) and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first. We now do a single pass over the stanzas. In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to document and more usual for an apt user. Closes: #811181

Use C++11 threading support instead of pthread

2017-07-20T18:50:05Z

This makes the code easier to read.

fix various typos reported by spellintian

2017-01-19T14:59:38Z

Most of them in (old) code comments. The two instances of user visible string changes the po files of the manpages are fixed up as well. Gbp-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: spellintian

Read dpkg tables to handle architecture wildcards

2017-01-17T00:43:50Z

Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel, but should match any-arm. With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11). There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for historical and API reasons: * The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style wildcard matching on the commandline. * The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm- is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard ending in a minus. * Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets - by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any" if there is a wildcard component. Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch() expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way. This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all things it should accept. Closes: #748936 Thanks: James Clarke for the initial patch

CMake: Add missing iconv dependency

2016-08-26T20:24:25Z

FreeBSD has two iconv systems: It ships an iconv.h itself, and symbols for that in the libc. But there's also the port of GNU libiconv, which unfortunately for us, Doxygen depends on. This changes things to prefer a separate libiconv library over the system one; that is, the port on FreeBSD. Gbp-Dch: ignore
