* Add a "reinstall" command as an alias for "install --reinstall".Josh Triplett2019-01-271-0/+1
| | | | aptitude has a similar "reinstall" command for precedent.
* Provide a "autopurge" shortcutJulian Andres Klode2018-12-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | This adds a new "autopurge" command that will is a shortcut for "autoremove --purge" Thanks: Michael Vogt for the initial work
* Fix typos reported by codespell & spellintianDavid Kalnischkies2018-08-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | No user-visible change as it effects mostly code comments and not a single error message, manpage or similar. Reported-By: codespell & spellintian Gbp-Dch: Ignore
* Remove obsolete RCS keywordsGuillem Jover2018-05-071-1/+0

* Reformat and sort all includes with clang-formatJulian Andres Klode2017-07-121-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes it easier to see which headers includes what. The changes were done by running git grep -l '#\s*include' \ | grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \ | xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/' To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running ./git-clang-format.sh.
* Drop cacheiterators.h includeJulian Andres Klode2017-07-121-1/+0
| | | | | Including cacheiterators.h before pkgcache.h fails because pkgcache.h depends on cacheiterators.h.
* indextargets: Check that cache could be built before using itJulian Andres Klode2016-07-051-3/+3
| | | | | | This caused a crash because the cache was a nullptr. Closes: #829651
* look into the right textdomain for apt-utils againDavid Kalnischkies2016-05-281-2/+0
| | | | | Broken in e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 by looking always into "apt" while we ship some tools in "apt-utils"…
* keep compressed indexes in a low-cost formatDavid Kalnischkies2016-01-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* drop some needlessly public declarations in libapt-privateDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-291-2/+2

* use function pointers instead of weak symbols for cmdline parsingDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Passing function pointers around while working on this was very icky, but if weak symbols are too much to ask for… Reverts "do not use "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" during the build to avoid breakage" aka a5fc9be36211a290a7abc3ca2a8bf98943bc1f57.
* revamp all tools help messagesDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-33/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The general idea is: A small paragraph on the tool itself as a description, a list of the most used (!= all) commands available in the tool, a remark where to find more information on the tool and its commands (aka: in the manpage) and finally a common block referring to even more manpages. In exchange options are completely omitted from the output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them sanely in this context.
* hidden support more apt-get/apt-cache commands in aptDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-1184/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | apt is supposed to be a user-friendly interface, so while these commands are usually poweruser material and therefore do not need to be shown in general introduction manpages/help messages its of no use to not allow users to use them. This includes clean, autoclean, build-dep, source, download, changelog, depends, rdepends and showsrc – it doesn't include more non-interactive commands like dump or xvcg as those are usually used by scripts if at all. Closes: 778234, 780700, 781237
* deal with --version more centrallyDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-11/+2

* move apts cmdline helper type into -privateDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-3/+2
| | | | | | | | Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
* generate commands array after config is loadedDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-8/+9
| | | | | | | This ensures that location strings loaded from a location specified via configuration (Dir::Locale) effect the help messages for commands. Git-Dch: Ignore
* new quiet level -qq for apt to hide progress outputDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-10/+3
| | | | | | | | | -q is for logging and -qqq (old -qq) basically kills every output expect errors, so there should be a way of declaring a middleground in which the output of e.g. 'update' isn't as verbose, but still shows some things. The test framework was actually making use of by accident as it ignored the quiet level in output setup for apt before. Eventually we should figure out some better quiet levels for all tools…
* deduplicate main methodsDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-22/+5
| | | | | | | | All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to move the common parts into -private to have the real differences more visible. Git-Dch: Ignore
* split up help messages for simpler reuseDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-47/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | That is one huge commit with busy work only: Help messages used to be one big translateable string, which is a pain for translators and hard to reuse for us. This change there 'explodes' this single string into new string for each documented string trying hard to split up the translated messages as well. This actually restores many translations as previously adding a single command made all of the bug message fuzzy. The splitup also highlighted that its easy to forget a line, duplicate one and similar stuff. Git-Dch: Ignore
* implement apt-get source msg 'Please use: $vcs' for gitDavid Kalnischkies2015-09-141-21/+13
| | | | | A bit unfair that only Bzr had this message. Lets at least print it for git as well with the option of adding more later without string changes.
* if file is inaccessible for _apt, disable privilege drop in acquireDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-311-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had a very similar method previously for our own private usage, but with some generalisation we can move this check into the acquire system proper so that all frontends profit from this compatibility change. As we are disabling a security feature here a warning is issued and frontends are advised to consider reworking their download logic if possible. Note that this is implemented as an all or nothing situation: We can't just (not) drop privileges for a subset of the files in a fetcher, so in case you have to download some files with and some without you need to use two fetchers.
* implement indextargets option 'DefaultEnabled'David Kalnischkies2015-08-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Some targets like Contents-udeb are special-needs targets. Shipping the configuration snippet for them is okay, but they shouldn't be downloaded by default. Forcing the user to enable targets by uncommenting targets is wrong and this would still not really solve the problem completely as even if you want to download some -udebs it will probably not be for all sources you have enabled, so having the possibility of disabling a target by default, but giving the user the option to enable it on a per-source entry basis is better.
* implement PDiff patching for compressed filesDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-281-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some additional files like 'Contents' are very big and should therefore kept compressed on the disk, which apt-file did in the past. It also implemented pdiff patching of these files by un- and recompressing these files on-the-fly, with this commit we can do the same – but we can do this in both pdiff patching styles (client and server merging) and secured by hashes. Hashes are in so far slightly complicated as we can't compare the hashes of the compressed files as we might compress them differently than the server would (different compressor versions, options, …), so we must compare the hashes of the uncompressed content. While this commit has changes in public headers, the classes it changes are marked as hidden, so nobody can use them directly, which means the ABI break is internal only.
* sources.list and indextargets option for pdiffsDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-271-1/+6
| | | | | | | Disabling pdiffs can be useful occasionally, like if you have a fast local mirror where the download doesn't matter, but still want to use it for non-local mirrors. Also, some users might prefer it to only use it for very big indextargets like Contents.
* use always priv-dropping for changelog download as rootDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-271-4/+1
| | | | | | | First of, the temporary directory we download the changelog to needs to be owned by _apt, but that also means that we don't need to check if we could/should drop privs as the download happens to a dedicated tempdir and only after that it is moved to its final location by a privileged user.

* Make auto-remove and auto-clean aliases for the versions without -Julian Andres Klode2015-08-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Some people type them instead of autoremove and autoclean, so make them happy. Closes: #274159 Makes-Happy: Ansgar
* Deprecate SPtrArray<T> and convert everyone to unique_ptr<T[]>Julian Andres Klode2015-08-131-1/+1
| | | | More standardization
* Mark SPtr as deprecated, and convert users to std::unique_ptrJulian Andres Klode2015-08-131-3/+3

* remove the compatibility markers for 4.13 abiDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-101-33/+0
| | | | | | | | We aren't and we will not be really compatible again with the previous stable abi, so lets drop these markers (which never made it into a released version) for good as they have outlived their intend already. Git-Dch: Ignore
* show or-groups in not-installed recommends and suggests listsDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-101-4/+4
| | | | | | | | Further abstracting our new ShowList allows to use it for containers of strings as well giving us the option to implement an or-groups display for the recommends and suggests lists which is a nice trick given that it also helps with migrating the last remaining other cases of old ShowList.
* headers are for declarations onlyDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | Housekeeping. This used to be embedded in apt-get directly, then moved to into our (then new) private lib and now header and code get a proper separation. Git-Dch: Ignore
* rename 'apt-get files' to 'apt-get indextargets'David Kalnischkies2015-08-101-5/+5
| | | | | | | | 'files' is a bit too generic as a name for a command usually only used programmatically (if at all) by developers, so instead of "wasting" this generic name for this we use "indextargets" which is actually the name of the datastructure the displayed data is stored in. Along with this rename the config options are renamed accordingly.
* add c++11 override marker to overridden methodsDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | C++11 adds the 'override' specifier to mark that a method is overriding a base class method and error out if not. We hide it in the APT_OVERRIDE macro to ensure that we keep compiling in pre-c++11 standards. Reported-By: clang-modernize -add-override -override-macros Git-Dch: Ignore
* merge indexRecords into metaIndexDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-101-21/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | indexRecords was used to parse the Release file – mostly the hashes – while metaIndex deals with downloading the Release file, storing all indexes coming from this release and … parsing the Release file, but this time mostly for the other fields. That wasn't a problem in metaIndex as this was done in the type specific subclass, but indexRecords while allowing to override the parsing method did expect by default a specific format. APT isn't really supporting different types at the moment, but this is a violation of the abstraction we have everywhere else and, which is the actual reason for this merge: Options e.g. coming from the sources.list come to metaIndex naturally, which needs to wrap them up and bring them into indexRecords, so the acquire system is told about it as they don't get to see the metaIndex, but they don't really belong in indexRecords as this is just for storing data loaded from the Release file… the result is a complete mess. I am not saying it is a lot prettier after the merge, but at least adding new options is now slightly easier and there is just one place responsible for parsing the Release file. That can't hurt.
* support lang= and target= sources.list optionsDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We support arch= for a while, now we finally add lang= as well and as a first simple way of controlling which targets to acquire also target=. This asked for a redesign of the internal API of parsing and storing information about 'deb' and 'deb-src' lines. As this API isn't visible to the outside no damage done through. Beside being a nice cleanup (= it actually does more in less lines) it also provides us with a predictable order of architectures as provides in the configuration rather than based on string sorting-order, so that now the native architecture is parsed/displayed first. Observeable e.g. in apt-get output.
* fix memory leaks reported by -fsanitizeDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-101-5/+3
| | | | | | | | Various small leaks here and there. Nothing particularily big, but still good to fix. Found by the sanitizers while running our testcases. Reported-By: gcc -fsanitize Git-Dch: Ignore
* provide a public interface for acquiring changelogsDavid Kalnischkies2015-06-151-165/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try to download if it should just be displayed or similar such. The URI is constructed as follows: Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field, otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or "Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct), while the rest of the URI varies widely between them. The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists). If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin. Closes: 687147, 739854, 784027, 787190
* implement default apt-get file --release-info modeDavid Kalnischkies2015-06-151-3/+23
| | | | | | | | | | Selecting targets based on the Release they belong to isn't to unrealistic. In fact, it is assumed to be the most used case so it is made the default especially as this allows to bundle another thing we have to be careful with: Filenames and only showing targets we have acquired. Closes: 752702
* implement 'apt-get files' to access index targetsDavid Kalnischkies2015-06-111-0/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Downloading additional files is only half the job. We still need a way to allow external tools to know where the files are they requested for download given that we don't want them to choose their own location. 'apt-get files' is our answer to this showing by default in a deb822 format information about each IndexTarget with the potential to filter the records based on lines and an option to change the output format. The command serves also as an example on how to get to this information via libapt.
* drop incorrect parameter implicitely converted to boolDavid Kalnischkies2015-05-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | The helper expects to be told if it should generate messages, not where these messages should be printed – as it isn't printing such messages, but puts them in _error. apt-get uses in other methods a helper specialisation which does also print stuff to a stream through, so this is likely a copy&paste error. Git-Dch: Ignore
* add a simple unit test for acquire progressDavid Kalnischkies2015-04-101-3/+3
| | | | | | | This isn't testing much of the 'complex' parts, but its better than nothing for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
* stop displaying time of build in online helpJérémy Bobbio2015-03-161-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that apt could not be built reproducibly. One issue is that it uses the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros of the C preprocessor to display the time of build in the online help. We believe this information not to be really useful to users as they can always look at the package data and metadata to figure it out. The attached patch simply removes this information. All non-documentation packages can then be built reproducibly with our current experimental framework. [David: changed the string slightly to be untranslateable as well] Closes: 774342

| * use 'best' hash for source authenticationDavid Kalnischkies2014-11-101-12/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Collect all hashes we can get from the source record and put them into a HashStringList so that 'apt-get source' can use it instead of using always the MD5sum. We therefore also deprecate the MD5 struct member in favor of the list. While at it, the parsing of the Files is enhanced so that records which miss "Files" (aka MD5 checksums) are still searched for other checksums as they include just as much data, just not with a nice and catchy name. This is a cherry-pick of 1262d35 with some dirty tricks to preserve ABI. LP: 1098738
| * apt-get: Create the temporary downloaded changelog inside tmpdirGuillem Jover2014-10-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code is creating a secure temporary directory, but then creates the changelog alongside the tmpdir in the same base directory. This defeats the secure tmpdir creation, making the filename predictable. Inject a '/' between the tmpdir and the changelog filename.
* | use pkgAcquire::GetLock instead of own codeDavid Kalnischkies2014-11-091-20/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do the same with less code in apt-get. This especially ensures that the lock file (and the parent directories) exist before we are trying to lock. It also means that clean now creates the directories if they are missing so we returned to a proper clean state now. Git-Dch: Ignore
