tests: support spaces in path and TMPDIR

2015-12-19T22:04:34Z

This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to write tests which could run successfully in such environments. Git-Dch: Ignore

use @CHANGEPATH@ as placeholder in changelog URI templates

2015-12-02T11:59:23Z

This should make it more obvious that CHANGEPATH is a placeholder which apt will replace with a package specific path rather than a string constant. Mail-Reference: <87d1upgvaf.fsf@deep-thought.43-1.org> Mail-Archive: https://lists.debian.org/debian-dak/2015/12/msg00005.html

tests: use quiet level 0 by default in tests

2015-11-19T16:13:56Z

Git-Dch: Ignore

tests: don't use hardcoded port for http and https

2015-09-15T08:16:09Z

This allows running tests in parallel. Git-Dch: Ignore

tests: try to support spaces in TMPDIR

2015-09-14T13:22:19Z

Not all tests work yet, most notable the cdrom tests, but those require changes in libapt itself to have a proper fix and what we have fixed so far is good enough progress for now. Git-Dch: Ignore

condense parallel requests with the same hashes to one

2015-06-15T21:35:55Z

It shouldn't be too common, but sometimes people have multiple mirrors in the sources or otherwise repositories with the same content. Now that we gracefully can handle multiple requests to the same URI, we can also fold multiple requests with the same expected hashes into one. Note that this isn't trying to find oppertunities for merging, but just merges if it happens to encounter the oppertunity for it. This is most obvious in the new testcase actually as it needs to delay the action to give the acquire system enough time to figure out that they can be merged.

provide a public interface for acquiring changelogs

2015-06-15T12:39:37Z

Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try to download if it should just be displayed or similar such. The URI is constructed as follows: Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field, otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or "Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct), while the rest of the URI varies widely between them. The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists). If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin. Closes: 687147, 739854, 784027, 787190

test exitcode as well as string equality

2015-03-16T17:01:54Z

We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for a specific output as well. Git-Dch: Ignore

tests: enhance output of grep and test fails

chown finished partial files earlier

2014-10-22T23:28:05Z

partial files are chowned by the Item baseclass to let the methods work with them. Now, this baseclass is also responsible for chowning the files back to root instead of having various deeper levels do this. The consequence is that all overloaded Failed() methods now call the Item::Failed base as their first step. The same is done for Done(). The effect is that even in partial files usually don't belong to _apt anymore, helping sneakernets and reducing possibilities of a bad method modifying files not belonging to them. The change is supported by the framework not only supporting being run as root, but with proper permission management, too, so that privilege dropping can be tested with them.
