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.

Parse Checksum fields via pkgTagSection::Key, too

2022-04-01T12:16:19Z

We abstract hashes a fair bit to be able to add new ones eventually, which lead us to building the field names on the fly. We can do better through by keeping a central place for these names, too, which even helps in reducing code as we don't need the MD5 → Files dance anymore.

Use pkgTagSection::Key in more places in src:apt

2022-04-01T12:16:19Z

The speed critical paths were converted earlier, but the remaining could benefit a tiny bit from this as well especially as we have the facility now available and can therefore brush up the code in various places in the process as well. Also takes the time to add the hidden Exists method advertised in the headers, but previously not implemented.

Drop support for long obsoleted Suggests alias: Optional

2022-04-01T12:16:15Z

dpkg-dev stopped recognizing it in 2007 (1.14.7) while building packages. The rename itself happened in 1995 (0.93.72).

Remove includes of (md5|sha1|sha2).h headers

2020-01-14T12:10:36Z

Remove it everywhere, except where it is still needed.

Convert users of {MD5,SHA1,SHA256,SHA512}Summation to use Hashes

2020-01-14T12:10:36Z

This makes use of the a function GetHashString() that returns the specific hash string. We also need to implement another overload of Add() for signed chars with sizes, so the existing users do not require reinterpret_cast everywhere.
