apt/apt-pkg/cachefilter-patterns.h, branch 2.9.26

Add pkgCache::{Priority,DepType}_NoL10n to avoid duplication

2025-01-05T22:16:08Z

We don't have many places, but lets reduce the amount of duplicating these short strings, so that we may find all the places we have to change if that ever happens.

patterns: Safely peek ahead one byte

2024-11-18T18:23:01Z

The pattern tree parser was written using string_views in a no-copy fashion. However, at various places we assume that we can index one byte after the end of the string_view and get a NUL-byte there. This works fine in practice because we only ever pass it zero-terminated string_views, but it fails if you compile with -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS because it will do bounds checks. So instead, do our own bounds checks here and always return '\0' if requesting one byte too many. Reported-by: Christian Heusel

apt-pkg/cachefilter-patterns.h, apt-pkg/cachefilter-patterns.cc: prepare for APT::StringView -> std::string_view

Modernize standard library includes

2024-02-20T12:49:04Z

This was automated with sed and git-clang-format, and then I had to fix up the top of policy.cc by hand as git-clang-format accidentally indented it by two spaces.

Add the ?security pattern

Add a new ?phasing pattern

2024-02-13T13:28:06Z

This selects all packages that are being kept back due to phasing on your system.

make ?installed pattern match installed version only when narrowed

2023-01-13T11:27:55Z

This is the correct behavior, but it was overlooked when aptitude patterns where ported. I remember wondering about this, but I checked the aptitude code and saw a check that CurrentVer != 0 or something and then apparently did not notice another implementation for version matching.

Document tagfile-keys.h as internal to apt

2022-04-01T12:15:26Z

The previous regime of the file was to sort it on insert, but that changes the values in the generated enum, which is fine as long as we only use it in libapt itself, but breaks on other users. The header was always intended to be private to apt itself, so we just document this here now and lay the ground work to have the file in the future only appended to, so that it remains sufficiently ABI stable that we can use it outside the library in our apt tools. We also remove some fields apt is unlikely to need or only uses in certain cases outside of any (speed) critical path to have enough room to add more fields soon as currently we are limited to 128 fields max and it would be sad if we use up that allowance entirely already.
