apt-ftparchive: Support NotAutomatic and ButAutomaticUpgrades fields

2016-11-11T22:40:39Z

This also changes Acquire-By-Hash to be "yes" rather than "true", so it is consistent with dak's output. Closes: #272557

CMake: Handle Berkeley DB on FreeBSD

2016-08-26T13:49:14Z

The BSD systems still ship their own db.h with a historical BSD implementation, which is preferred by CMake, as it searches its default path first. We thus have to disable the DEFAULT_PATH for the search, unfortunately. We also need to pass the correct include directory to the target. Furthermore, on FreeBSD the library is called db-, so let's add db-5 to the list of allowed names. Gbp-Dch: ignore

support compression and by-hash for .diff/Index files

2016-08-17T05:55:46Z

In af81ab9030229b4ce6cbe28f0f0831d4896fda01 by-hash got implemented as a special compression type for our usual index files like Packages. Missing in this scheme was the special .diff/Index index file containing the info about individual patches for this index file. Deriving from the index file class directly we inherent the compression handling infrastructure and in this way also by-hash nearly for free. Closes: #824926

Get rid of the old buildsystem

Bye, bye, old friend.

CMake: Add basic CMake build system

2016-08-06T20:36:02Z

Introduce an initial CMake buildsystem. This build system can build a fully working apt system without translation or documentation. The FindBerkelyDB module is from kdelibs, with some small adjustements to also look in db5 directories. Initial work on this CMake build system started in 2009, and was resumed in August 2016.

use +0000 instead of UTC by default as timezone in output

2016-07-02T10:01:17Z

All apt versions support numeric as well as 3-character timezones just fine and its actually hard to write code which doesn't "accidently" accepts it. So why change? Documenting the Date/Valid-Until fields in the Release file is easy to do in terms of referencing the datetime format used e.g. in the Debian changelogs (policy §4.4). This format specifies only the numeric timezones through, not the nowadays obsolete 3-character ones, so in the interest of least surprise we should use the same format even through it carries a small risk of regression in other clients (which encounter repositories created with apt-ftparchive). In case it is really regressing in practice, the hidden option -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::NumericTimezone=0 can be used to go back to good old UTC as timezone. The EDSP and EIPP protocols use this 'new' format, the text interface used to communicate with the acquire methods does not for compatibility reasons even if none of our methods would be effected and I doubt any other would (in these instances the timezone is 'GMT' as that is what HTTP/1.1 requires). Note that this is only true for apt talking to methods, (libapt-based) methods talking to apt will respond with the 'new' format. It is therefore strongly adviced to support both also in method input.

Revert "travis: use gcc-5 instead of gcc(-4.8)"

2016-06-29T10:23:02Z

This reverts commit 2b8221d66a8284042fc53c7bbb14bb9750e9137f. Avoiding the use of GCC >= 5 stuff lets use go back to 4.8 simplifying the travis setup again as well as reducing the backport requirements in general. This is possible because the std::get_time use requiring GCC >= 5 in 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 was replaced by handrolling it in 1d742e01470bba27715a8191c50adde4b39c2f19, so the remaining uses are just small conviniences we can do without.

Check for cached hash entries to determine which (if any) hash types

2016-06-20T12:47:46Z

need to be generated for the current file. In 1.0.9, each hash type was handled by a separate method, each of which checked the cache. It looks like when these code paths were unified (in a311fb96b84757ef8628e6a754232614a53b7891) the cache checks were not incorporated into the new method.

look into the right textdomain for apt-utils again

2016-05-28T16:12:02Z

Broken in e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 by looking always into "apt" while we ship some tools in "apt-utils"…

avoid changing the global LC_TIME for Release writing

2016-05-28T10:46:37Z

Using C++ here avoids calling setlocale here which never really was that ideal, but needed to avoid locale specific weekday/month names.
