Fix typos reported by codespell & spellintian

No user-visible change as it effects mostly code comments and not a single error message, manpage or similar. Reported-By: codespell & spellintian Gbp-Dch: Ignore

Use a steady clock source for progress reporting

2018-05-28T15:59:35Z

Clock changes while apt is running can result in strange reports confusing (and amusing) users. Sadly, to keep the ABI for now the code is a bit more ugly than it would need to be.

avoid some useless casts reported by -Wuseless-cast

2017-12-13T22:53:41Z

The casts are useless, but the reports show some where we can actually improve the code by replacing them with better alternatives like converting whatever int type into a string instead of casting to a specific one which might in the future be too small. Reported-By: gcc -Wuseless-cast

ftparchive: Do not pass through disabled hashes in Sources

2017-09-09T18:12:15Z

When writing a Sources files hashes that were already present in the .dsc were always copied through (or modified), even if disabled. Remove them instead when they are disabled, otherwise we end up with hashes for tarballs and stuff but not for dsc files (as the dsc obviously does not hash itself). Also adjust the tests: test-compressed-indexes relied on Files being present in showsrc, and test-apt-update-weak-hashes expected the tarball to be downloaded when an archive only has MD5 and we are requiring SHA256 because that used to work because the tarball was always included. Closes: #872963

ftparchive: sort discovered filenames before writing indexes

2017-08-04T11:06:10Z

If 'apt-ftparchive packages /path/to/files/' (or sources) is used the files to include in the generated index (on stdout) were included in the order in which they were discovered, which isn't a very stable order which could lead to indexes changing without actually changing content causing needless changes in the repository changing hashsums, pdiffs, rsyncs, downloads, …. This does not effect apt-ftparchive calls which already have an order defined via a filelist (like generate) which will still print in the order given by the filelist. Note that a similar effect can be achieved by post-processing index files with apt-sortpkgs. Closes: 869557 Thanks: Chris Lamb for initial patch & Stefan Lippers-Hollmann for testing
