CMake: Document that the globs are expanded during CMake

2017-01-17T13:33:02Z

This will avoid people from thinking that they have to do nothing when they change the set of files. Gbp-Dch: ignore

CMake: Find the Perl executable, and use it to run perl scripts

2017-01-17T00:43:50Z

This is somewhat more portable than just hardcoding perl or in the triehash case /usr/bin/perl in the shebang. Thanks: Guillem Jover for the hint Gbp-Dch: ignore

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

strutl: Provide an APT::String::Join() function

ParseDepends: Support passing the desired architecture

2017-01-02T13:27:52Z

This is useful for e.g. Britney, where the Build-Depends would have to be parsed for multiple architectures. With this change, the call can choose the architecture without having to mess with the config. Signed-off-by: Niels Thykier Closes: #845969 (jak@d.o: made the code compile)

allow warning generation for non-whitelisted options

2016-12-31T17:24:12Z

The idea is simple: Each¹ Find*( call starts with a call check if the given option (with the requested type) exists in the whitelist. The whitelist is specified via our configure-index file so that we have a better chance at keeping it current. the whitelist is loaded via a special (undocumented for now) configuration stanza and if none is loaded the empty whitelist will make it so that no warnings are shown. Much needs to be done still, but that is as good a time as any to take a snapshot of the current state and release it into the wild given that it found some bugs already and has no practical effect on users. ¹ not all in this iteration, but many

fix minimum pkgs option for dpkg --recursive usage

2016-12-31T17:23:25Z

Interpreting a boolean as an int works just fine – it just hasn't the intended result – it isn't a serious problem through as the disabling of the usage of this dpkg calling style is just an "optimization"

use FindB instead of FindI for Debug::pkgAutoRemove

2016-12-31T01:29:21Z

Again no practical difference, but for consistency a boolean option should really be accessed via a boolean method rather than an int especially if you happen to try setting the option to "true" … Gbp-Dch: Ignore

avoid producing invalid options if repo has no host

2016-12-31T01:29:21Z

This can happen e.g. for file: repositories. There is no inherent problem with setting such values internally, but its bad style, forbidden in the manpage and could be annoying in the future. Gbp-Dch: Ignore

gets file location via FindFile instead of manual merge

2016-12-31T01:29:21Z

Unlikely to have any practical effect, but its more consistent to use the right methods instead of performing it slightly incorrect by hand. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
