ubuntu: http: Add non-interactive to user agent if run by systemd

2020-04-09T08:39:34Z

Include that apt is being run from a service in the user agent, so traffic can be analysed for interactive vs non-interactive use, and prioritised accordingly. It looks like this now: User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (2.0.1) non-interactive A previous version included the full service names, but this raised some privacy concerns. LP: #1825000

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

Remove "Tanglu" config for Acquire::Changelogs and as vendor

2018-10-25T23:31:10Z

This is an inactive derivative according to the census, and all the URLs which are part of tanglu.org are dead.

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.

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

Get rid of the old buildsystem

Bye, bye, old friend.

CMake: Cache CURRENT_VENDOR and make it configurable

2016-08-10T14:10:48Z

Cache the current vendor, so we do not have to rerun getinfo when reconfiguring stuff. This also has the nice effect of making the vendor configurable, so you can manually specify it on a platform that might not have dpkg (not that building without dpkg works yet). 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

CMake: Add basic CMake build system

2016-08-06T20:36:02Z

Introduce an initial CMake buildsystem. This build system can build a fully working apt system without translation or documentation. The FindBerkelyDB module is from kdelibs, with some small adjustements to also look in db5 directories. Initial work on this CMake build system started in 2009, and was resumed in August 2016.
