use @CHANGEPATH@ as placeholder in changelog URI templates

2015-12-02T11:59:23Z

This should make it more obvious that CHANGEPATH is a placeholder which apt will replace with a package specific path rather than a string constant. Mail-Reference: <87d1upgvaf.fsf@deep-thought.43-1.org> Mail-Archive: https://lists.debian.org/debian-dak/2015/12/msg00005.html

Set Acquire::Changelogs::URI::Origin::Tanglu for Tanglu changelogs

2015-08-14T19:22:43Z

rename 'apt-get files' to 'apt-get indextargets'

2015-08-10T15:27:17Z

'files' is a bit too generic as a name for a command usually only used programmatically (if at all) by developers, so instead of "wasting" this generic name for this we use "indextargets" which is actually the name of the datastructure the displayed data is stored in. Along with this rename the config options are renamed accordingly.

remove the longtime deprecated vendor{,list} stuff

2015-08-10T15:25:26Z

History suggests that this comes from an earlier apt-secure implementation, but never really became a thing, totally unused and marked as deprecated for "ages" now. Especially as it did nothing even if it would have been used (libapt itself didn't use it at all).

provide a public interface for acquiring changelogs

2015-06-15T12:39:37Z

Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try to download if it should just be displayed or similar such. The URI is constructed as follows: Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field, otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or "Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct), while the rest of the URI varies widely between them. The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists). If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin. Closes: 687147, 739854, 784027, 787190

store all targets data in IndexTarget struct

2015-06-10T19:24:47Z

We still need an API for the targets, so slowly prepare the IndexTargets to let them take this job. Git-Dch: Ignore

configureable acquire targets to download additional files

2015-06-09T10:57:36Z

First pass at making the acquire system capable of downloading files based on configuration rather than hardcoded entries. It is now possible to instruct 'deb' and 'deb-src' sources.list lines to download more than just Packages/Translation-* and Sources files. Details on how to do that can be found in the included documentation file.

mark internal interfaces as hidden

2014-11-08T13:28:28Z

We have a bunch of classes which are of no use for the outside world, but were still exported and so needed to preserve ABI/API. Marking them as hidden to not export them any longer is a big API break in theory, but in practice nobody is using them – as if they would its a bug.

Change default of Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories to "true"

2014-10-13T14:14:49Z

This change is made for backward compatiblity and should be reverted once jessie is out.
