Detect function multiversioning and sse4.2/crc32, enables i386

2019-02-04T14:21:32Z

This fixes the build on kfreebsd-amd64, and due to the detection of sse4.2, should also enable the sse4.2 on i386.

apt-pkg: Add support for zstd

2018-03-12T07:56:59Z

zstd is a compression algorithm developed by facebook. At level 19, it is about 6% worse in size than xz -6, but decompression is multiple times faster, saving about 40% install time, especially with eatmydata on cloud instances.

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
