Only enable pipelining if server is HTTP/1.1

2016-01-12T22:40:59Z

Just enabling it for anyone breaks with HTTP/1.0 servers and proxies sometimes. Closes: #810796

allow pdiff bootstrap from all supported compressors

2016-01-08T14:40:01Z

There is no reason to enforce that the file we start the bootstrap with is compressed with a compressor which is available online. This allows us to change the on-disk format as well as deals with repositories adding/removing support for a specific compressor.

use one 'store' method to rule all (de)compressors

2016-01-08T14:40:01Z

Adding a new compressor method meant adding a new method as well – even if that boilt down to just linking to our generalized decompressor with a new name. That is unneeded busywork if we can instead just call the generalized decompressor and let it figure out which compressor to use based on the filenames rather than by program name. For compatibility we ship still 'gzip', 'bzip2' and co, but they are just links to our "new" 'store' method.

rred: Run in parallel

2016-01-07T16:32:39Z

Remove the SingleInstance flag so we can use the new randomized queue feature to run parallel.

Do not remove a not working SrvRecords server twice

2016-01-05T19:49:19Z

The PopFromSrvRecs() already removed the entry from the active list, so the extra SrvRecords.erase() was incorrect. Git-Dch: ignore

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
