Avoid undefined pointer arithmetic while growing mmap

2021-02-04T10:00:00Z

The undefined behaviour sanitizer complains with: runtime error: addition of unsigned offset to 0x… overflowed to 0x… Compilers and runtime do the right thing in any case and it is a codepath that can (and ideally should) be avoided for speed reasons alone, but fixing it can't hurt (too much).

Add support for Phased-Update-Percentage

2021-01-08T13:48:47Z

This adds support for Phased-Update-Percentage by pinning upgrades that are not to be installed down to 1. The output of policy has been changed to add the level of phasing, and documentation has been improved to document how phased updates work. The patch detects if it is running in a chroot, and if so, always includes phased updates, restoring classic apt behavior to avoid behavioral changes on buildd chroots. Various options are added to control this all: * APT::Get::{Always,Never}-Include-Phased-Updates and their legacy update-manager equivalents to always or never include phased updates * APT::Machine-ID can be set to a UUID string to have all machines in a fleet phase the same * Dir::Etc::Machine-ID is weird in that it's default is sort of like ../machine-id, but not really, as ../machine-id would look up $PWD/../machine-id and not relative to Dir::Etc; but it allows you to override the path to machine-id (as opposed to the value) * Dir::Bin::ischroot is the path to the ischroot(1) binary which is used to detect whether we are running in a chroot.

Make map_pointer typesafe

2020-02-24T17:29:07Z

Instead of just using uint32_t, which would allow you to assign e.g. a map_pointer to a map_pointer, use our own smarter struct that has strict type checking. We allow creating a map_pointer from a nullptr, and we allow comparing map_pointer to nullptr, which also deals with comparisons against 0 which are often used, as 0 will be implictly converted to nullptr.

Replace map_pointer_t with map_pointer

2020-02-24T16:08:34Z

This is a first step to a type safe cache, adding typing information everywhere. Next, we'll replace map_pointer implementation with a type safe one.

Allow querying all binaries built by a source package

2020-01-17T11:53:20Z

This adds a simple way to lookup binaries by a source package, but this adds all binaries into one list, even with different source versions. Be careful.

Search in all available description translations

2019-11-25T09:59:38Z

When multiple translations of package descriptions are available, perform search in all of them. It allows using search patterns in any of the configured languages. Previously, only the first available translation was searched. As the result, patterns in e.g. English never matched packages which had their descriptions translated into local language.

Deprectate buggy/incorrect Rls/PkgFile::IsOk methods

2018-05-11T15:58:46Z

With the advent of compressed files and especially with in-memory post-processed files the simple assumptions made in IsOk are no longer true. Worse, they are at best duplicates of checks performed by the cache generation (and validation) earlier and isn't used in too many places. It is hence best to simply get right of these calls instead of trying to fix them.
