reenable pipelining via hashsum reordering support

2014-05-09T11:06:27Z

Now that methods have the expected hashes available they can check if the response from the server is what they expected. Pipelining is one of those areas in which servers can mess up by not supporting it properly, which forced us to disable it for the time being. Now, we check if we got a response out of order, which we can not only use to disable pipelining automatically for the next requests, but we can fix it up just like the server responded in proper order for the current requests. To ensure that this little trick works pipelining is only attempt if we have hashsums for all the files in the chain which in theory reduces the use of pipelining usage even on the many servers which work properly, but in practice only the InRelease file (or similar such) will be requested without a hashsum – and as it is the only file requested in that stage it can't be pipelined even if we wanted to. Some minor annoyances remain: The display of the progress we have doesn't reflect this change, so it looks like the same package gets downloaded multiple times while others aren't at all. Further more, partial files are not supported in this recovery as the received data was appended to the wrong file, so the hashsum doesn't match. Both seem to be minor enough to reenable pipelining by default until further notice through to test if it really solves the problem. This therefore reverts commit 8221431757c775ee875a061b184b5f6f2330f928.

Add new Debug::RunScripts option

2014-04-01T10:16:03Z

This debug option will display all scripts that are run by apts RunScripts and RunScriptsWithPkgs helpers.

support DEB_BUILD_PROFILES and -P for build profiles

2014-03-13T12:58:44Z

Inspired by the rest of the patch in 661537, but abstract the parsing of various ways of setting the build profiles more so it can potentially be reused and all apt parts have the same behaviour. Especially config options, cmdline options and environment will not be combined as proposed as this isn't APTs usual behaviour and dpkg doesn't do it either, so one overrides the other as it normally does.

add a vendor specific file to have configurable entities

2013-11-30T22:34:15Z

manpages sometimes refer to distro-specific things like the name of the package providing the achive-keyring. Having a central place to configure this helps in having it consistent in the manpages and allows to load this info from other places in the buildsystem as well later.

improve documentation for Acquire::http::Proxy-Auto-Detect (thanks to Francesco Poli)

2013-10-25T10:23:11Z

add Acquire::http::Proxy-Auto-Detect to the apt.conf.5 manpage (closes: 726597)

allow Pre-Install-Pkgs hooks to get info over an FD != stdin

2013-08-16T09:12:03Z

This adds ::InfoFD option alongside the ::Version one to request sending the information to the specified FD, by default it is STDIN as it was the case before. The environment variable APT_HOOK_INFO_FD contains the FD the data is on as a confirmation that the APT version used understood the request. Allowing the hook to choose the FD is needed/helpful e.g. for shellscripts which have a hard time accessing FDs above 9 (as >= 10 are usually used internally by them) Closes: #671728

merge patch from Daniel Hartwig to Clarify units of Acquire::http::Dl-Limit (closes: #705445)

Version 3 for DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs with MultiArch info

2013-07-11T16:34:21Z

Adds on top of Version 2 to all displayed version numbers the architecture as well as the MultiArch flag for consumption by the hooks. Most of the time the architecture will be the same for both versions displayed, but packages might change from "all" to "any" (or back) between versions so we can't display the architecture for packages. Pseudo-Format for Version 3:

Examples: stuff - - none < 1 amd64 none **CONFIGURE** libsame 1 i386 same < 2 i386 same **CONFIGURE** stuff 2 i386 none > 1 i386 none **CONFIGURE** libsame 2 i386 same > - - none **REMOVE** toolkit 1 all foreign > - - none **REMOVE** Closes: #712116
