show warnings instead of errors if files are unreadable

2017-07-26T17:09:04Z

We used to fail on unreadable config/preferences/sources files, but at least for sources we didn't in the past and it seems harsh to refuse to work because of a single file, especially as the error messages are inconsistent and end up being silly (like suggesting to run apt update to fix the problem…).

use FileFd to parse all apt configuration files

2017-07-26T17:09:04Z

Using different ways of opening files means we have different behaviour and error messages for them, so by the same for all we can have more uniformity for users and apt developers alike.

Reformat and sort all includes with clang-format

2017-07-12T11:57:51Z

This makes it easier to see which headers includes what. The changes were done by running git grep -l '#\s*include' \ | grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \ | xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/' To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running ./git-clang-format.sh.

Drop cacheiterators.h include

2017-07-12T11:56:05Z

Including cacheiterators.h before pkgcache.h fails because pkgcache.h depends on cacheiterators.h.

support 'apt build-dep .' (aka: without /)

treat .ddeb files like .deb, especially for dpkg

2016-08-25T14:12:24Z

Ubuntu uses *.ddeb files for their debug packages, but the interface we are using since f495992428a396e0f98886c9a761a804aa161c68 to talk to dpkg isn't supporting *.ddeb files. This used to work previously as apt itself isn't caring about the filenames at all and if they are explicitly mentioned dpkg will accept all, too. It might or might not be a good idea to patch dpkg, too, but regardless of it happening, we don't want to couple us to closely to dpkg for this minor feature but testing for this at runtime as it would delay shipping the fix for the too long commandlines further. It is also questionable if it is really a good idea to allow any file extension to be used here (like .foobar in the testcase), but we used to and we tend to avoid breaking existing usecases if we can help it. As a bonus, this also allows the installation of ddeb files directly from the commandline as you can with deb files already. We continue to ignore udeb through as the user-mistake to useful ratio is too high. LP: #1616909

don't count each Type as an individual deb822-sources stanza

add --with-source option and Packages/Sources support

2016-08-17T12:12:25Z

We support "./foobar.deb" as a way to install a deb file directly. Recently .changes files were added. This highlights a problem as you can't add the changes file without also trying to install all of them. Now, it could also be handy to add entire Packages/Sources files to perhaps get a bunch of packages in without installing them all implicitly. This commit introduces --with-source which allows to add *.deb, *.changes, *.dsc, source-dirs, Packages & Sources files (the later can also be compressed) without also installing them.

support "install ./foo.changes"

2016-07-22T14:05:09Z

We support installing ./foo.deb (and ./foo.dsc for source) for a while now, but it can be a bit clunky to work with those directly if you e.g. build packages locally in a 'central' build-area. The changes files also include hashsums and can be signed, so this can also be considered an enhancement in terms of security as a user "just" has to verify the signature on the changes file then rather than checking all deb files individually in these manual installation procedures.

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.
