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 a more gitignore style matching

2023-02-27T13:44:12Z

Use a rightmost match for / so that if we end up with a Section: a/b/c, a 'c' matcher still matches. If the section does not contain any /, it can be matched using /pattern, e.g. /c only matches Section: c, but not Section: a/b/c.

Have values in Section config trees refer to them in all components

2023-01-29T23:55:05Z

Hard coding each and every component is not only boring but given that everyone is free to add or use more we end up in situations in which apt behaves differently for the same binary package just because metadata said it is in different components (e.g. non-free vs. non-free-firmware). It is also probably not what the casual user would expect. So we instead treat a value without a component as if it applies for all of them. The previous behaviour can be restored by prefixing the value with "/" as in the component is not defined. In an ideal world we would probably use "*/foo" for the new default instead of changing the behaviour for "foo", but it seems rather unlikely that the old behaviour is actually desired. All existing values were duplicated for all (previously) known components in Debian and Ubuntu.

Fix "was already not hold" message grammar

Inhibit autoremove calculation in apt-mark and apt show

2021-08-28T20:21:35Z

As we never display the information in these code paths there isn't a lot of point in calculating it first saving us some precious CPU cycles. References: d6f3458badf2cfea3ca7de7632ae31daff5742be

apt-mark: don't lie about successful marks

2020-01-09T18:44:22Z

This commit fixes an issue where apt-mark would say it had made a change before actually making the change. For example, when running as a user without permission to write to extended_states, the package is not marked but apt-mark claims it is: ~ % apt-mark manual rxvt-unicode rxvt-unicode set to manually installed. E: Could not create [...snip...] (13: Permission denied) E: Failed to write temporary StateFile /var/lib/apt/extended_states This commit moves reporting of "[package] set to [manually | automatically] installed" after saving extended_states and confirming it was successful.

apt-mark: Add hidden showheld alias for showhold

2019-05-10T07:45:41Z

For Unit193 and those who value grammar, I suppose.

apt-mark: Introduce minimize-manual

2019-01-10T09:38:59Z

This visits dependencies of all manually installed metapackages, as determined by APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections, and marks them as automatically installed. It can be used to clean up autoflags after a d-i install, for example.

apt-mark: showhold: typo-fix (package -> packages)

2018-10-02T15:03:31Z

See merge request apt-team/apt!29 [jak@d.o: Also adjust translations, provide better subject]

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.
