vendor/getinfo: Don't assume that Ubuntu is the last vendor

2019-03-15T15:25:43Z

If your dpkg-vendor configuration in base-files is an Ubuntu derivative, but not exactly Ubuntu, and not an exact match for anything in vendor/, we want to use vendor/ubuntu. Previously we used whatever $DISTRO happened to be at the end of the "for" loop above, but that's undesirable: even if we assume that find(1) returns results in alphabetical order (which is not guaranteed), we wouldn't want to return a non-Ubuntu result if a future apt version happens to have a vendor that sorts later than vendor/ubuntu, for example vendor/zombieos or something.

vendor/getinfo: Iterate through vendors in lexicographic order

2019-03-15T15:25:35Z

find(1) works in readdir() order, which isn't guaranteed to be sorted. If the current vendor is not an exact match for any subdirectory in vendor/, and is somehow a derivative of more than one of them, we should at least produce a deterministic answer. Closes: #924662 Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie

Always pass a directory to find before an option

2016-08-26T20:17:55Z

On BSD systems, we cannot simply use find -name or stuff, we always have to pass a directory name first. Gbp-Dch: ignore

vendor/getinfo: Accept --vendor VENDOR option

2016-08-10T14:10:41Z

This can be used to query a field for a specific vendor. It also speeds up things a lot if we can cache the current vendor in cmake and pass it to further getinfo invocations. Gbp-Dch: ignore

vendor/getinfo: Teach it about sourceslist-list-format

2016-08-06T20:35:54Z

This makes it easier to write a generic subsitution tool for handling substitutions in apt-key.in and sources.list.in Gbp-Dch: ignore

vendor/getinfo: Provide command to determine vendor to use

2016-08-06T20:35:54Z

Introduce the 'current' command to eventually replace the current symbolic link. The current command does roughly the same as the makefile, the code has just been cleaned up a bit to work better as a shell function. Gbp-Dch: ignore

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

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).
