For downloading we provide the choice via Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order as there is a choice to be made between download size and speed – and limited by whats available in the repository. Storage on the other hand has all compressions currently supported by apt available and to reduce runtime of tools accessing these files the compression type should be a low-cost format in terms of decompression. apt traditionally stores its indexes uncompressed on disk, but has options to keep them compressed. Now that apt downloads additional files we also deal with files which simply can't be stored uncompressed as they are just too big (like Contents for apt-file). Traditionally they are downloaded in a low-cost format (gz) as repositories do not provide other formats, but there might be even lower-cost formats and for download we could introduce higher-cost in the repositories. Downloading an entire index potentially requires recompression to another format, so an update takes potentially longer – but big files are usually updated via pdiffs which has to de- and re-compress anyhow and does it on the fly anyhow, so there is no extra time needed and in general it seems to be benefitial to invest the time in update to save time later on file access. 2015-11-29T16:00:11Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-11-29T15:57:58Z urn:sha1:f6777222f82f6279c104138216b0e5e50d8caa67 Git-Dch: Ignore 2015-11-29T12:12:38Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-11-29T12:12:38Z urn:sha1:90986d4dbbd38e2e89f986d621e301304210452e 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. 2015-11-04T17:04:05Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-10-27T08:57:26Z urn:sha1:8561c2fedae26aecd8ba758a5e7ef686ba1243f3 The general idea is: A small paragraph on the tool itself as a description, a list of the most used (!= all) commands available in the tool, a remark where to find more information on the tool and its commands (aka: in the manpage) and finally a common block referring to even more manpages. In exchange options are completely omitted from the output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them sanely in this context. 2015-11-04T17:04:04Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-10-26T18:30:44Z urn:sha1:9055d5e68bd09f31df00e45bd14cb599ba3735e5 apt is supposed to be a user-friendly interface, so while these commands are usually poweruser material and therefore do not need to be shown in general introduction manpages/help messages its of no use to not allow users to use them. This includes clean, autoclean, build-dep, source, download, changelog, depends, rdepends and showsrc – it doesn't include more non-interactive commands like dump or xvcg as those are usually used by scripts if at all.

The test framework was actually making use of by accident as it ignored the quiet level in output setup for apt before. Eventually we should figure out some better quiet levels for all tools… 2015-11-04T17:04:03Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-10-24T20:43:37Z urn:sha1:e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to move the common parts into -private to have the real differences more visible.
