apt/doc/examples, branch 1.9.1

Introduce apt satisfy and apt-get satisfy

2019-06-11T14:49:03Z

Allow to satisfy dependency strings supplied on the command line, optionally prefixed with "Conflicts:" to satisfy them like Conflicts. Build profiles and architecture restriction lists, as used in build dependencies, are supported as well. Compared to build-dep, build-essential is not installed automatically, and installing of recommended packages follows the global default, which defaults to yes. Closes: #275379 See merge request apt-team/apt!63

Prevent shutdown while running dpkg

2019-05-03T14:37:50Z

As long as we are running dpkg, keep an inhibitor that blocks us from shutting down. LP: #1820886

Merge branch 'pu/dpkg-path' into 'master'

2018-12-10T17:35:33Z

Set PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin when running dpkg See merge request apt-team/apt!38

Set PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin when running dpkg

2018-12-10T16:31:24Z

This avoids a lot of problems from local installations of scripting languages and other stuff in /usr/local for which maintainer scripts are not prepared. [v3: Inherit PATH during tests, check overrides work] [v2: Add testing]

Add support for /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/*.conf (netrcparts)

2018-12-04T16:48:41Z

This allows us to install matching auth files for sources.list.d files, for example; very useful. This converts aptmethod's authfd from one FileFd to a vector of pointers to FileFd, as FileFd cannot be copied, and move operators are hard.

Allow setting Referer header for http method

2018-11-25T16:22:43Z

Not needed for common interactions, but for some download-file interactions it could be useful to set a specific referer as some servers do not serve requested files otherwise.

Default to https: scheme for fetching Debian changelogs

Closes: #910941

Lower default timeout from 120s to 30s

2018-05-24T12:31:31Z

120s is an insanely high default time out, lower it to 30s to make things a bit nicer.

Remove obsolete RCS keywords

apt-pkg: Add support for zstd

2018-03-12T07:56:59Z

zstd is a compression algorithm developed by facebook. At level 19, it is about 6% worse in size than xz -6, but decompression is multiple times faster, saving about 40% install time, especially with eatmydata on cloud instances.
