apt/vendor/debian, branch 2.5.5

Switch from "security.d.o" to "deb.d.o" (matching bullseye release notes)

2022-06-24T23:01:10Z

Also, this adds "SUITE-updates", which helps show off one of the smaller benefits of deb822-style sources.list (less duplication).

Switch documentation from httpredir.d.o to deb.d.o

2016-08-29T13:09:05Z

The CDN service deb.d.o is more reliable than the http redirector, so switch to it for our examples.

deprecate 'apt-key update' and no-op it in Debian

2016-07-01T22:03:20Z

Debian isn't using 'update' anymore for years and the command is in direct conflict with our goal of not requiring gnupg anymore, so it is high time to officially declare this command as deprecated.

evaluate sourceslist-list-format entity in vendors sources.list

2016-01-14T16:33:58Z

Parsing XML entity files in shell isn't exactly nice and causing the substitution with a while-read loop isn't either, but it seems to be good enough for the moment without changing too much. Thanks: Niels Thykier for reporting on IRC

bring back deb822 sources.list entries as .sources

2015-08-10T15:25:26Z

Having two different formats in the same file is very dirty and causes external tools to fail hard trying to parse them. It is probably not a good idea for them to parse them in the first place, but they do and we shouldn't break them if there is a better way. So we solve this issue for now by giving our deb822 format a new filename extension ".sources" which unsupporting applications are likely to ignore an can begin gradually moving forward rather than waiting for the unknown applications to catch up. Currently and for the forseeable future apt is going to support both with the same feature set as documented in the manpage, with the longtime plan of adopting the 'new' format as default, but that is a long way to go and might get going more from having an easier time setting options than from us pushing it explicitely.

autogenerate makefile for vendor system

2014-03-13T12:57:34Z

It can be useful to have a whole makefile available for vendor setup, but by providing a basic one we can deal with the simple cases more easily (and changes to the system are presumably easier).
