apt/cmdline/apt-config.cc, branch 2.9.0

Modernize standard library includes

2024-02-20T12:49:04Z

This was automated with sed and git-clang-format, and then I had to fix up the top of policy.cc by hand as git-clang-format accidentally indented it by two spaces.

Use quoted tagnames in config dumps

2018-11-29T21:15:28Z

Tagnames in configuration can include spaces (and other nasties) e.g. in repository-specific configuration options due to Origin/Label potentially containing a space. The configuration file format supports parsing quoted as well as encoded spaces, but the output generated by apt-config and other places which might be feedback into apt via parsing (e.g. before calling apt-key in our gpgv method) do not quote and hence produce invalid configuration files. Changing the default to be an encoded tagname ensures that the output of dump can be used as a config file, but other users might not expect this so that is technically a backward-breaking change.

avoid some useless casts reported by -Wuseless-cast

2017-12-13T22:53:41Z

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. Reported-By: gcc -Wuseless-cast

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.

use the right key for compressor configuration dump

2016-07-05T18:44:45Z

The generated dump output is incorrect in sofar as it uses the name as the key for this compressor, but they don't need to be equal as is the case if you force some of the inbuilt ones to be disabled as our testing framework does it at times. This is hidden from changelog as nobody will actually notice while describing it in a few words make it sound like an important change… Git-Dch: Ignore

look into the right textdomain for apt-utils again

2016-05-28T16:12:02Z

Broken in e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 by looking always into "apt" while we ship some tools in "apt-utils"…

drop some needlessly public declarations in libapt-private

use function pointers instead of weak symbols for cmdline parsing

2015-11-29T12:12:38Z

Passing function pointers around while working on this was very icky, but if weak symbols are too much to ask for… Reverts "do not use "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" during the build to avoid breakage" aka a5fc9be36211a290a7abc3ca2a8bf98943bc1f57.
