tests: don't do boundless string compares with data()

ensure a good clock() value for usage and tests

2016-08-12T09:12:10Z

We use clock() as a very cheap way of getting a "random" value, but the manpage warns that this could return -1, so we should be dealing with this. Additionally, e.g. on hurd-i386 the value increases only slowly – to slow for our fast running tests for randomness hence producing the same range in both samples, so we introduce a simple busy-wait loop (as clock is counting processor time used by the program) in the test which delays the second sample just enough making our randomness a bit more predictable.

don't perform int
2016-08-12T09:12:04Z
Comparing floating numbers is always fun and in this instance a 9 < 9.0 is "somehow" true on hurd-i386 letting the tests fail by reporting that too much progress achieved. A bit mysterious, but with some rework we can use code which avoids dealing with the floats in this way entirely and make our testcases happy.

allow user@host (aka: no password) in URI parsing

If the URI had no password the username was ignored

Get rid of the old buildsystem

Bye, bye, old friend.

CMake: Add unit tests

2016-08-10T14:11:43Z

Add support for our GTest based unit tests. By default, CMake will look in /usr/src/gtest for the external GTest project, but this can be overriden by defining GTEST_ROOT when invoking cmake. Gbp-Dch: ignore

ensure Cnf::FindFile doesn't return files below /dev/null

2016-07-19T16:05:13Z

Very unlikely, but if the parent is /dev/null, the child empty and the grandchild a value we returned /dev/null/value which doesn't exist, so hardly a problem, but for best operability we should be consistent in our work and return /dev/null always.

don't do atomic overrides with failed files

2016-06-29T12:46:34Z

We deploy atomic renames for some files, but these renames also happen if something about the file failed which isn't really the point of the exercise… Closes: 828908

avoid std::get_time usage to sidestep libstdc++6 bug

2016-06-17T16:09:20Z

As reported upstream in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71556 the implementation of std::get_time is currently not as accepting as strptime is, especially in how hours should be formatted. Just reverting 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 would be possible, but then we would reopen the problems fixed by it, so instead I opted here for a rewrite of the parsing logic which makes this method a lot longer, but at least it provides the same benefits as the rewrite in std::get_time was intended to give us and decouples us from the fix of the issue in the standard library implementation of GCC.

don't leak an FD in lz4 (de)compression

2016-06-10T08:49:34Z

Seen first in #826783, but as this buglog also shows leaked uncompressed files as well we don't close it just yet.
