Add missing includes and external definitions

2016-08-26T13:49:10Z

Several modules use std::array without including the array header. Bad modules. Some modules use STDOUT_FILENO and friends, or close() without including unistd.h, where they are defined. One module also uses WIFEXITED() without including sys/wait.h. Finally, environ is not specified to be defined in unistd.h. We are required to define it ourselves according to POSIX, so let's do that.

implement and document DIRECT for auto-detect-proxy

2016-06-20T11:49:31Z

There is a subtile difference between an empty setting and "DIRECT" in the configuration as the later overrides the generic settings while the earlier does not. Also, non-zero exitcodes should really be reported as an error rather than silently discarded.

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"…

prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs

2016-05-27T17:14:38Z

Setting the C++ locale via std::locale::global(std::locale("")); which would otherwise default to the default C locale (aka: unaffected by setlocale) effects the formatting of numeric types in IO streams, which for output for humans is perfectly sensible, but breaks our many text interfaces used and parsed by us and others without expecting the numbers to be formatted. Closes: #825396

support '-' and no parameter for stdin in apt-helper cat-file

2016-01-08T14:40:01Z

This way it works more similar to the compressor binaries, which we can relief in this way from their job in the test framework avoiding the need of adding e.g. liblz4-tool to the test dependencies.

apt-helper: cat-file: Add -C/--compress option

2016-01-07T14:51:00Z

This allows passing compressing the output. The compressor must be a compressor name, extension, or an extension without the leading dot.

apt-helper: Use CopyFile() for concatenating the files

2015-12-28T10:41:04Z

There's no point in keeping using yet another read-then-write loop. Gbp-Dch: ignore

apt-helper: Check that we can open stdout

2015-12-26T22:27:15Z

Gbp-Dch: ignore

apt-helper: Add a cat-file command for concatening files

2015-12-26T20:48:14Z

This can automatically handle compressed files and is useful for stuff like apt-file.

apt-helper.cc: include for atoi

2015-12-06T12:30:51Z

Include to ensure that atoi(3) is defined to improve general portability and fix a specific build failure on Android. Closes: 807031
