apt/apt-private, branch 1.7.0_alpha2Debians commandline package managerhttps://git.kalnischkies.de/apt/atom?h=1.7.0_alpha22018-06-27T13:09:45ZHandle JSON hooks that just close the file/exit and fix some other errors2018-06-27T13:09:45ZJulian Andres Klodejulian.klode@canonical.com2018-06-27T09:31:21Zurn:sha1:1d53cffad22c92645090e0e6ddde31fe4f7c3b05
JSON hooks might disappear and the common idiom to work around hooks
disappearing is to check for the hook in the shell snippet that is
in the apt.conf file and if it does not exist, do nothing. This caused
APT to fail however, expecting it to acknowledge the handshake.
Ignoring ECONNRESET on handshakes solves the problem.
The error case, and the other error cases also did not stop execution
of the hook, causing more errors to pile up. Fix this by directly going
to the closing part of the code.

Support local files as arguments in show command2018-05-11T15:58:46ZDavid Kalnischkiesdavid@kalnischkies.de2018-04-12T07:59:47Zurn:sha1:6085ab7488326cfed8f82e07eefcbc2dc40d4bea
Now that --with-source is supported in show we can go a little further
and add the "syntactic sugar" of supporting deb-files on the commandline
directly to give users an alternative to remembering dpkg -I for deb
files & as a bonus apt also works on changes files.
Most of the code churn is actually to deal with cases probably not too
common in reality like mixing packages and deb-files on the commandline
and getting the right order for these multiple records.

Support --with-source in show & search commands2018-05-11T15:58:46ZDavid Kalnischkiesdavid@kalnischkies.de2018-04-11T10:59:06Zurn:sha1:bf53f39c9a0221b670ffff74053ed36fc502d5a0Support release selector for volatile files as well2018-05-11T15:58:46ZDavid Kalnischkiesdavid@kalnischkies.de2018-01-26T22:33:25Zurn:sha1:ce9223cc4e4ffcc43d17ae97ff8c57fb759a2c49
The syntax is a bit awkward, but it is the same as for a package name
and introducing another syntax wouldn't really help usability, so with
apt install ./foo.deb/experimental you will get the dependencies of foo
satisfied by your default release, but if this wouldn't satisfy the
version requirements the candidate for this dependency is switched to
the version from the experimental release. The same applies for apt
build-dep ./foo.dsc/stable-backports which was the initial request.
Extend apt build-dep pkg/release to switch dep as needed2018-05-11T15:58:46ZDavid Kalnischkiesdavid@kalnischkies.de2018-01-26T15:15:13Zurn:sha1:9169cd5049bd7f0d5dcc56c40d567a766cf5b851
apt install pkg/release follows versioned dependencies in the candidate
switching if the current candidate does not satisfy the dependency,
so for uniformity the same should be supported in build-dep.
Introduce experimental new hooks for command-line tools2018-04-15T19:11:42ZJulian Andres Klodejulian.klode@canonical.com2018-04-13T10:32:35Zurn:sha1:e9796b9c21ee7d8e8f5d6e2a24db43fc4368b557
This allows third-party package managers like snap or flatpak
to hook in and suggest alternatives if packages could not be
found, for example.
This is still highly experimental and the protocol might change
in future versions.
apt-private: Collect not found packages in CacheSetHelperAPTGet2018-04-13T10:30:53ZJulian Andres Klodejulian.klode@canonical.com2018-04-13T10:30:53Zurn:sha1:03cc48f6c6591d762c27f9b5c8627b267a7158e2
Collecting the packages we could not find allows us to pass them
to other places.
restore gcc visibility=hidden for apt-private2018-02-19T14:56:09ZDavid Kalnischkiesdavid@kalnischkies.de2018-01-27T01:11:20Zurn:sha1:6e2877548b114729b69b817b872419edde732d0f
This setting was lost in the transition to cmake.
The private library has no public users and hence the default visibility
of symbols changed early to hidden – something which should eventually
be done for the public libraries as well, but one step at the time.
allow a method to request auxiliary files2018-01-03T17:55:41ZDavid Kalnischkiesdavid@kalnischkies.de2017-08-12T14:21:13Zurn:sha1:ef9677831f62a1554a888ebc7b162517d7881116
If a method needs a file to operate like e.g. mirror needs to get a list
of mirrors before it can redirect the the actual requests to them. That
could easily be solved by moving the logic into libapt directly, but by
allowing a method to request other methods to do something we can keep
this logic contained in the method and allow e.g. also methods which
perform binary patching or similar things.
Previously they would need to implement their own acquire system inside
the existing one which in all likelyhood will not support the same
features and methods nor operate with similar security compared to what
we have already running 'above' the requesting method. That said, to
avoid methods producing conflicts with "proper" files we are downloading
a new directory is introduced to keep the auxiliary files in.
[The message magic number 351 is a tribute to the german Grundgesetz
article 35 paragraph 1 which defines that all authorities of the
state(s) help each other on request.]
avoid some useless casts reported by -Wuseless-cast2017-12-13T22:53:41ZDavid Kalnischkiesdavid@kalnischkies.de2017-12-13T20:39:16Zurn:sha1:1adcf56bec7d2127d83aa423916639740fe8e586
The casts are useless, but the reports show some where we can actually
improve the code by replacing them with better alternatives like
converting whatever int type into a string instead of casting to a
specific one which might in the future be too small.
