get group again after potential remap in Source: parse

2016-03-06T14:00:33Z

Mysteriously segfaults only on i386 for me, but at least one reporter had the same behavior and it makes sense that this is the problem as the parsing of Source: was fixed in 1.2.2 – before the not remapped group was not used. We don't use our usual Dynamic<> trick here as we don't have it in the parser. Its a bit of a layer violation to do this parsing here, but its how it is always was… Until next time with this lovely kind of problem. Closes: 812251 Thanks: Francesco Poli and Marc Haber for testdata.

only warn about missing/invalid Date field for now

2016-01-27T15:39:52Z

The Date field in the Release file is useful to avoid allowing an attacker to 'downgrade' a user to earlier Release files (and hence to older states of the archieve with open security bugs). It is also needed to allow a user to define min/max values for the validation of a Release file (with or without the Release file providing a Valid-Until field). APT wasn't formally requiring this field before through and (agrueable not binding and still incomplete) online documentation declares it optional (until now), so we downgrade the error to a warning for now to give repository creators a bit more time to adapt – the bigger ones should have a Date field for years already, so the effected group should be small in any case. It should be noted that earlier apt versions had this as an error already, but only showed it if a Valid-Until field was present (or the user tried to used the configuration items for min/max valid-until). Closes: 809329

convert Version() and Architecture() to APT::StringView

Part of hidden classes, so conversion is abi-free. Git-Dch: Ignore

remove unused Description methods in listparsers

2016-01-26T20:58:57Z

These virtual methods are implemented in hidden classes, so we can drop them without breaking the ABI. Git-Dch: Ignore

parse version correctly from binary Source field

2016-01-26T18:17:11Z

In commit a221efc331693f8905da870141756c892911c433 I promoted the source package name and version to the binary cache for faster access by e.g. EDSP, but due to changing the interpretation length to soon we always ignored the version part of the Source field, so that packages ended up having the binary version as source version – which while usually just fine it is wrong for binary rebuilds. Closes: 812492

reimplement build-dep via apts normal resolver

2016-01-25T17:15:44Z

build-dep was implemented by parsing the build-dependencies of a package and figuring out which packages to install/remove based on this. That means that for the first level of dependencies build-dep was implementing its very own resolver with all the benefits (aka: bugs) this gives us for not using the existing resolver for all levels. Making this work involves generating a dummy binary package with fitting Depends and Conflicts and as we can't create them out of thin air the cache generation needs to be involved so we end up writing a Packages file which we want to parse – after we have parsed the other Packages files already. With .dsc/.deb files we could add them before we started parsing anything. With a bit of care we can avoid generating too much data we have to throw away again (as many parts assume that e.g. the count of packages doesn't change midair), so that on a speed front there shouldn't be much of a difference, but output can be slightly confusing as if we have a completely valid cache on disk the "Reading package lists... Done" is printed two times – but apt is pretty quick about it in that case. Closes: #137560, #444930, #489911, #583914, #728317, #812173
