apt/apt-private, branch 1.7.0_alpha3 Debians commandline package manager https://git.kalnischkies.de/apt/atom?h=1.7.0_alpha3 2018-08-07T13:51:13Z Merge branch 'bugfix/big-lock' into 'master' 2018-08-07T13:51:13Z Julian Andres Klode jak@debian.org 2018-08-07T13:51:13Z urn:sha1:e165588b0b9bc7c484c91e324b6b9418b0a29457 Add support for dpkg frontend lock See merge request apt-team/apt!11 Add support for dpkg frontend lock 2018-08-07T13:07:52Z Julian Andres Klode jak@debian.org 2017-01-29T12:05:18Z urn:sha1:c2c8b4787b0882234ba2772ec7513afbf97b563a The dpkg frontend lock is a lock dpkg tries to acquire except if the frontend already acquires it. This fixes a race condition in the install command where the dpkg lock is not held for a short period of time between different dpkg invocations. For this reason we also define an environment variable DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED for dpkg invocations so dpkg knows not to try to acquire the frontend lock because it's held by a parent process. We can set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED only if the frontend lock really is held; that is, if our lock count is greater than 0 - otherwise an apt client not using the LockInner family of functions would run dpkg without the frontend lock set, but with DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED set. Such a process has a weaker guarantee: Because dpkg would not lock the frontend lock either, the process is prone to the existing races, and, more importantly, so is a new style process. Closes: #869546 [fixups: fix error messages, add public IsLocked() method, and make {Un,}LockInner return an error on !debSystem] Add trailing newline to output of edit-sources. 2018-07-01T04:10:08Z Jean-Ralph Aviles jeanralph.aviles@gmail.com 2018-07-01T04:10:08Z urn:sha1:8a6caaf869ea87ade6043169076bda04a0dc6cb6 Makes the console output cleaner. Handle JSON hooks that just close the file/exit and fix some other errors 2018-06-27T13:09:45Z Julian Andres Klode julian.klode@canonical.com 2018-06-27T09:31:21Z urn: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. LP: #1776218 Support local files as arguments in show command 2018-05-11T15:58:46Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2018-04-12T07:59:47Z urn: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.

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 needed 2018-05-11T15:58:46Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2018-01-26T15:15:13Z urn: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 tools 2018-04-15T19:11:42Z Julian Andres Klode julian.klode@canonical.com 2018-04-13T10:32:35Z urn: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 CacheSetHelperAPTGet 2018-04-13T10:30:53Z Julian Andres Klode julian.klode@canonical.com 2018-04-13T10:30:53Z urn:sha1:03cc48f6c6591d762c27f9b5c8627b267a7158e2 Collecting the packages we could not find allows us to pass them to other places.
