Read dpkg tables to handle architecture wildcards

2017-01-17T00:43:50Z

Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel, but should match any-arm. With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11). There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for historical and API reasons: * The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style wildcard matching on the commandline. * The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm- is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard ending in a minus. * Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets - by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any" if there is a wildcard component. Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch() expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way. This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all things it should accept. Closes: #748936 Thanks: James Clarke for the initial patch

Make directory paths configurable

2016-08-26T20:17:54Z

This allows other vendors to use different paths, or to build your own APT in /opt for testing. Note that this uses + 1 in some places, as the paths we receive are absolute, but we need to strip of the initial /.

if conf unset, don't read / as conf/pref/sources dir

2016-06-29T10:22:33Z

Usually these config options are set to sensible values, but if init isn't run or the user interferes with configuration clearing or similar the options could indeed carry an empty value, which will result in FindDir returning a '/'. That feels kinda wrong, but as a public interface there isn't much we can do about it and instead make it so that we get the special file /dev/null back we know how to deal with in such cases.

eipp: let apt make a plan, not make stuff plane

2016-06-29T10:17:41Z

Julian noticed on IRC that I fall victim to a lovely false friend by calling referring to a 'planer' all the time even through these are machines to e.g. remove splinters from woodwork ("make stuff plane"). The term I meant is written in german in this way (= with a single n) but in english there are two, aka: 'planner'. As that is unreleased code switching all instances without any transitional provisions. Also the reason why its skipped in changelog. Thanks: Julian Andres Klode Gbp-Dch: Ignore

eipp: enable xz-compressed scenario logging

2016-06-27T09:57:13Z

In 385d9f2f23057bc5808b5e013e77ba16d1c94da4 I implemented the storage of scenario files based on enabling this by default for EIPP, but I implemented it first optionally for EDSP to have it independent. The reasons mentioned in the earlier commit (debugging and bugreports) obviously apply here, especially as EIPP solutions aren't user approved, nearly impossible to verify before starting the execution and at the time of error the scenario has changed already, so that reproducing the issue becomes hard(er).

add insecure (and weak) allow-options for sources.list

2016-06-22T12:05:01Z

Weak had no dedicated option before and Insecure and Downgrade were both global options, which given the effect they all have on security is rather bad. Setting them for individual repositories only isn't great but at least slightly better and also more consistent with other settings for repositories.
