That could easily be solved by moving the logic into libapt directly, but by allowing a method to request other methods to do something we can keep this logic contained in the method and allow e.g. also methods which perform binary patching or similar things. Previously they would need to implement their own acquire system inside the existing one which in all likelyhood will not support the same features and methods nor operate with similar security compared to what we have already running 'above' the requesting method. That said, to avoid methods producing conflicts with "proper" files we are downloading a new directory is introduced to keep the auxiliary files in. [The message magic number 351 is a tribute to the german Grundgesetz article 35 paragraph 1 which defines that all authorities of the state(s) help each other on request.] 2018-01-03T17:55:41Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2017-11-22T23:58:00Z urn:sha1:c28682430a27f75ceb8cc8dff78b3a560fd68399 Same reasoning as with the previous commit for http with the added benefit of moving the hard to discover and untranslated example config into a manpage which could be translated. 2018-01-03T17:55:41Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2017-11-22T18:39:31Z urn:sha1:956145444e1a3b7f5e660f71904711f4ea5bd262 We had documentation for the http transport in our "catch-all" apt.conf manpage, but it seems benefitial to document transports in their own manpage instead of pushing them all into one. 2018-01-03T14:31:36Z Julian Andres Klode jak@debian.org 2018-01-02T21:15:50Z urn:sha1:3bbd328396745d0dd6c5585935040082a2c41e3e Try establishing connections in alternating address families in rapid intervals of 250 ms, adding more connections to the wait list until one succeeds (RFC 8305, happy eyeballs 2). It is important that WaitAndCheckErrors() waits until it has a successful connection, a time out, or all connections failed - otherwise the timing between tries might be wrong, and the final long wait might exit early because one connection failed without trying the others. Timing wise, this only works correctly on Linux, as select() counts down there. But we rely on that in some other places too, so this is not the time to fix that. Timeouts are only reported in the final long wait - the short inner waits are expected to time out more often, and multiple times, we do not want to report them.

This makes apt.ent translatable again. This generates the target multiple times, but surprisingly, that works just fine, so let's just keep it that way, as it's clean code otherwise. 2017-11-19T23:11:27Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2017-11-19T23:03:18Z urn:sha1:871f3346ea601b444eb8f487836a73d219766e0b Adding manpages is really hard it seems.

It also deals with multiple consecutive spaces and strange things like tabs users will surely end up using in the real world. The old behviour on encountering folded lines is the generation of URIs which end up containing all these whitespace characters which tends to mess really bad with output and further processing.
