* Fixup manual page docbook syntaxJulian Andres Klode2021-01-081-2/+4
| | | | | | | No idea why we don't have manual page syntax check (what prepare-release post-build does) in CI. Should fix that eventually. Gbp-Dch: ignore
* Add support for Phased-Update-PercentageJulian Andres Klode2021-01-081-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for Phased-Update-Percentage by pinning upgrades that are not to be installed down to 1. The output of policy has been changed to add the level of phasing, and documentation has been improved to document how phased updates work. The patch detects if it is running in a chroot, and if so, always includes phased updates, restoring classic apt behavior to avoid behavioral changes on buildd chroots. Various options are added to control this all: * APT::Get::{Always,Never}-Include-Phased-Updates and their legacy update-manager equivalents to always or never include phased updates * APT::Machine-ID can be set to a UUID string to have all machines in a fleet phase the same * Dir::Etc::Machine-ID is weird in that it's default is sort of like ../machine-id, but not really, as ../machine-id would look up $PWD/../machine-id and not relative to Dir::Etc; but it allows you to override the path to machine-id (as opposed to the value) * Dir::Bin::ischroot is the path to the ischroot(1) binary which is used to detect whether we are running in a chroot.

* policy: Implement pinning by source packageJulian Andres Klode2020-01-171-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | This implements the src: syntax inside policy, allowing you to pin by source package. This by default only pins the native architecuture, use src:pkg:any to pin for all architectures in your cache. Closes: #166032

* update manpage last-modified from git via pre-export hookDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Never updating this information is wrong, updating it automatically isn't super correct either, but it seems conventional to have it and updating it more often than needed seems better than updating it never. Git-Dch: Ignore

* apt_preferences(5): Correct default pin assignment documentationJulian Andres Klode2015-08-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | This was broken, as higher pins were also assigned to versions that are installed. Closes: #623706

* | apt_preferences(5): Re-document how priorities are calculatedJulian Andres Klode2015-08-121-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old text did not match either the old or the new implementation, so let's rewrite it to explain the new implementation. Closes: #554773
* | policy: Be more strict about parsing pin files, and document prio 0Julian Andres Klode2015-08-121-0/+4
|/ | | | | | Treat invalid pin priorities and overflows as an error. Closes: #429912
* ensure that all docs use all entities filesDavid Kalnischkies2014-08-261-9/+3
| | | | | | | | | Not all are needed for all files at the moment, but the new docbook building hadn't available some of the entities it used as the files weren't correctly copied around in all cases and having the same across the bord makes working with all of them a little easier. Git-Dch: Ignore
* add a vendor specific file to have configurable entitiesDavid Kalnischkies2013-11-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | manpages sometimes refer to distro-specific things like the name of the package providing the achive-keyring. Having a central place to configure this helps in having it consistent in the manpages and allows to load this info from other places in the buildsystem as well later.
