Check that Date of Release file is not in the future

2018-02-19T15:05:01Z

By restricting the Date field to be in the past, an attacker cannot just create a repository from the future that would be accepted as a valid update for a repository. This check can be disabled by Acquire::Check-Date set to false. This will also disable Check-Valid-Until and any future date related checking, if any - the option means: "my computers date cannot be trusted." Modify the tests to allow repositories to be up to 10 hours in the future, so we can keep using hours there to simulate time changes.

allow multivalue fields in deb822 sources to be folded

2017-11-19T16:24:41Z

The documentation said "spaces", but there is no real reason to be so strict and only allow spaces to separate values as that only leads to very long lines if e.g. multiple URIs are specified which are again hard to deal with from a user PoV which the deb822 format is supposed to avoid. It also deals with multiple consecutive spaces and strange things like tabs users will surely end up using in the real world. The old behviour on encountering folded lines is the generation of URIs which end up containing all these whitespace characters which tends to mess really bad with output and further processing.

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.

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
