Replace map_pointer_t with map_pointer

2020-02-24T16:08:34Z

This is a first step to a type safe cache, adding typing information everywhere. Next, we'll replace map_pointer implementation with a type safe one.

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.

apt-private: Do not include apti18n.h in headers

2016-08-10T14:17:19Z

This causes build failures when turning translations off.

add volatile sources support in libapt-pkg

2015-08-10T15:27:59Z

Sources are usually defined in sources.list (and co) and are pretty stable, but once in a while a frontend might want to add an additional "source" like a local .deb file to install this package (No support for 'real' sources being added this way as this is a multistep process). We had a hack in place to allow apt-get and apt to pull this of for a short while now, but other frontends are either left in the cold by this and/or the code for it looks dirty with FIXMEs plastering it and has on top of this also some problems (like including these 'volatile' sources in the srcpkgcache.bin file). So the biggest part in this commit is actually the rewrite of the cache generation as it is now potentially a three step process. The biggest problem with adding support now through is that this makes a bunch of previously mostly unusable by externs and therefore hidden classes public, so a bit of further tuneing on this now public API is in order…

avoid virtual in the iterators

2015-08-10T15:27:18Z

With a bit of trickery and the Curiously recurring template pattern we can free us from our use of virtual in the iterators were it is unneeded bloat as we never deal with pointers to iterators and similar such. Git-Dch: Ignore

show or-groups in not-installed recommends and suggests lists

2015-08-10T15:27:18Z

Further abstracting our new ShowList allows to use it for containers of strings as well giving us the option to implement an or-groups display for the recommends and suggests lists which is a nice trick given that it also helps with migrating the last remaining other cases of old ShowList.

implement a more generic ShowList method

2015-08-10T15:27:17Z

apt-get is displaying various lists of package names, which until now it was building as a string before passing it to ShowList, which inserted linebreaks at fitting points and showed a title if needed, but it never really understood what it was working with. With the help of C++11 the new generic knows not only what it works with, but generates the list on the fly rather than asking for it and potentially discarding parts of the input (= the non-default verbose display). It also doubles as a test for how usable the CacheSets are with C++11. (Not all callers are adapted yet.) Git-Dch: Ignore

move pkgSourceList::AddMetaIndex() into a private subclass until we decide about a good API

enable fvisibility=hidden for our private library

2014-03-21T14:54:15Z

While it is a huge undertaking to enable it for our public libraries as basically everything we exported so far could be seen as public interface our private library is new and under our full control, so we can do whatever we like with it. The benefits are not that big in return of course, but it reduces the size a bit, so thats great nontheless. Git-Dch: ignore
