apt/methods/ftp.cc, branch 3.2.0

Remove ftp, rsh, ssh methods (disabled since 1.8)

2024-11-07T13:04:30Z

These methods have been unsupported and disabled since 1.8, remove them for the 3.0 cleanup. Please migrate to http instead. If you need ad-hoc access to a remote repository, you can run `python3 -m http.server` on that machine and use SSH port forwarding to run http over ssh.

Bump read()/write() loop buffers from 4k to APT_BUFFER_SIZE (64k). Bump FileFdPrivate's read()/discard buffer from 1k to APT_BUFFER_SIZE (64k)

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.

Implement encoded URI handling in all methods

2020-12-18T18:31:19Z

Every method opts in to getting the encoded URI passed along while keeping compat in case we are operated by an older acquire system. Effectively this is just a change for the http-based methods as the others just decode the URI as they work with files directly.

apt-pkg: URI: Add 'explicit' to single argument constructor

This needs a fair amount of changes elsewhere in the code, hence this is separate from the previous commits.

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.

report transient errors as transient errors

2017-12-13T22:56:29Z

The Fail method for acquire methods has a boolean parameter indicating the transient-nature of a reported error. The problem with this is that Fail is called very late at a point where it is no longer easily identifiable if an error is indeed transient or not, so some calls were and some weren't and the acquire system would later mostly ignore the transient flag and guess by using the FailReason instead. Introducing a tri-state enum we can pass the information about fatal or transient errors through the callstack to generate the correct fails.

Sandbox methods with seccomp-BPF; except cdrom, gpgv, rsh

This reduces the number of syscalls to about 140 from about 350 or so, significantly reducing security risks. Also change prepare-release to ignore the architecture lists in the build dependencies when generating the build-depends package for travis. We might want to clean up things a bit more and/or move it somewhere else.
