rred: Use buffered writes

2015-12-27T15:23:32Z

Buffered writes improve performance a lot, given that we spent about 78% of the time in _write.

rred: Only call pkgInitConfig() in test mode

2015-12-27T12:25:23Z

This accidentally slipped in in a previous commit, but it should be used only for testing mode. Reported-By: David Kalnischkies

Convert most callers of isspace() to isspace_ascii()

2015-12-27T00:20:41Z

This converts all callers that read machine-generated data, callers that might work with user input are not converted.

rred: Allow passing files as arguments for compressor testing

2015-12-26T14:29:00Z

This introduces a -t mode in which the first argument is input, the second is output and the remaining are diffs. This allows us to test patching compressed files, which are detected using their file extension.

disable privilege dropping for rsh/ssh method by default

2015-11-28T15:09:42Z

ssh expects various configuration bits to be usable like known hosts, possibly keys and co. Setting this up needs some user work for probably not a whole lot of benefits, so instead of forcing it upon users on upgrade disable dropping for it by default. Closes: 806511

fix program name detection in rsh method

2015-11-28T14:46:31Z

Regression intoduced in 23e64f6d0facf9610c1042326ad9850e071e8349

ignore lost+found in private directory cleanup

2015-11-19T16:56:07Z

In ce1f3a2c we started warning about failing unlinking, which we consistently do for directories. That isn't a problem as directories usually aren't in the places we do want to clean up – with the potential exeception of "lost+found", so lets ignore it like we ignore our own partial/ subdirectory. Closes: 805424

activate AI_IDN by default to support IDN domains

2015-11-05T11:21:33Z

AI_IDN is a glibc extension, but we can worry about this at the time actually anyone is seriously trying apt on non-glibc systems. Closes: 763437

apply various suggestions made by cppcheck

allow acquire method specific options via Binary scope

2015-11-05T11:21:33Z

Allows users who know what they are getting themselves into with this trick to e.g. disable privilege dropping for e.g. file:// until they can fix up the permissions on those repositories. It helps also the test framework and people with a similar setup (= me) to run in less modified environments.
