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.

Instead of changing this test to change the filename according to the compression we want to test we just disable EIPP logging for this test as that is easier and has the same practical effect.

This means that simulation comes even so slightly closer to a real run as it will require and parse the package indexes for filenames and queuing of URIs, so that a simulation "using" an unavailable download method actually fails now. The real benefit of this change is through that the rather special but nontheless handy --no-download --fix-missing mode now actually shows what the solution is it will apply to the system rather than the solution it would if it could download all not-downloaded packages. 2016-04-14T19:56:01Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2016-04-14T15:32:17Z urn:sha1:b2fd852459a6b9234255644730f48f071ccad64d There is just no point in taking the time to acquire empty files – especially as it will be tiny non-empty compressed files usually. 2016-01-08T14:40:01Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2016-01-07T19:32:09Z urn:sha1:0179cfa83cf0042235eda41db7f35c420781c63e Downloading and storing are two different operations were different compression types can be preferred. For downloading we provide the choice via Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order as there is a choice to be made between download size and speed – and limited by whats available in the repository. Storage on the other hand has all compressions currently supported by apt available and to reduce runtime of tools accessing these files the compression type should be a low-cost format in terms of decompression. apt traditionally stores its indexes uncompressed on disk, but has options to keep them compressed. Now that apt downloads additional files we also deal with files which simply can't be stored uncompressed as they are just too big (like Contents for apt-file). Traditionally they are downloaded in a low-cost format (gz) as repositories do not provide other formats, but there might be even lower-cost formats and for download we could introduce higher-cost in the repositories. Downloading an entire index potentially requires recompression to another format, so an update takes potentially longer – but big files are usually updated via pdiffs which has to de- and re-compress anyhow and does it on the fly anyhow, so there is no extra time needed and in general it seems to be benefitial to invest the time in update to save time later on file access. 2016-01-08T14:40:01Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2016-01-03T21:39:46Z urn:sha1:912a61312a0463b46d6560756c89146f59daaab6 Less hardcoding should help while introducing new compressors.

This way arch:all data can be shared instead of duplicated for each architecture requiring the user to download the same information again and again. There is one problem however: In Debian there is already a binary-all/ Packages file, but the binary-any files still include arch:all packages, so that downloading this file now would be a waste of time, bandwidth and diskspace. We therefore need a way to decide if it makes sense to download the all file for Packages in Debian or not. The obvious answer would be a special flag in the Release file indicating this, which would need to default to 'no' and every reasonable repository would override it to 'yes' in a few years time, but the flag would be there "forever". Looking closer at a Release file we see the field "Architectures", which doesn't include 'all' at the moment. With the idea outlined above that 'all' is a "proper" architecture now, we interpret this field as being authoritative in declaring which architectures are supported by this repository. If it says 'all', apt will try to get all, if not it will be skipped. This gives us another interesting feature: If I configure a source to download armel and mips, but it declares it supports only armel apt will now print a notice saying as much. Previously this was a very cryptic failure. If on the other hand the repository supports mips, too, but for some reason doesn't ship mips packages at the moment, this 'missing' file is silently ignored (= that is the same as the repository including an empty file). The Architectures field isn't mandatory through, so if it isn't there, we assume that every architecture is supported by this repository, which skips the arch:all if not listed in the release file. 2015-11-04T17:04:00Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-10-11T11:58:23Z urn:sha1:af9e40c9bfb353b8aea1e2621b3b5a8c1c1db4bd Commit 653ef26c70dc9c0e2cbfdd4e79117876bb63e87d broke the camels back in sofar that everything works in terms of our internal use of copy:/, but external use is completely destroyed. This is kinda the reverse of what happened in "parallel" in the sid branch, where external use was mostly fine, internal and external exploded on the GzipIndexes option. We fix this now by rewriting our internal use by letting copy:/ only do what the name suggests it does: Copy files and not uncompress them on-the-fly. Then we teach copy and the uncompressors how to deal with /dev/null and use it as destination file in case we don't want to store the uncompressed files on disk. Closes: 799158
