Remove non-existent Debug::BuildDeps from apt.conf(5)

2024-03-07T15:35:17Z

The option was removed in 2016 along with the code surrounding it, as the special build-deps specific solver was replaced with reusing our generic solver(s). As such, the normal debug options for these apply here nowadays instead of requiring another one to be set as well. References: a249b3e6fd798935a02b769149c9791a6fa6ef16

Initial support for snapshot servers, apt --snapshot option

2023-05-02T13:23:14Z

Provide snapshot support for offical Debian and Ubuntu archives. There are two ways to enable snapshots for sources: 1. Add Snapshot: yes to your sources file ([snapshot=yes]). This will allow you to specify a snapshot to use when updating or installing using the --snapshot,-S option. 2. Add Snapshot: ID to your sources files to request a specific snapshot for this source. Snapshots are discovered using Label and Origin fields in the Release file of the main source, hence you need to have updated the source at least once before you can use snapshots. The Release file may also declare a snapshots server to use, similar to Changelogs, it can contain a Snapshots field with the values: 1. `Snapshots: https://example.com/@SNAPSHOTID@` where `@SNAPSHOTID@` is a placeholder that is replaced with the requested snapshot id 2. `Snapshots: no` to disable snapshot support for this source. Requesting snapshots for this source will result in a failure to load the source. The implementation adds a SHADOWED option to deb source entries, and marks the main entry as SHADOWED when a snapshot has been requested, which will cause it to be updated, but not included in the generated cache. The concern here was that we need to keep generating the shadowed entries because the cleanup in `apt update` deletes any files not queued for download, so we gotta keep downloading the main source. This design is not entirely optimal, but avoids the pitfalls of having to reimplement list cleanup. Gaps: - Ubuntu Pro repositories and PPAs are not yet supported.
