* Show APT::Compressor example in apt.conf(5)David Kalnischkies2018-09-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | Including a block-element like informalexample in a para is legal, but the documentation of the para tag hints that some processing systems may have difficulties handling this – so lets just move it out of the block and be happy as it is (again?) displayed. Closes: #909712

* Lower default timeout from 120s to 30sJulian Andres Klode2018-05-241-3/+3
| | | | | 120s is an insanely high default time out, lower it to 30s to make things a bit nicer.
* use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost as default Tor proxyDavid Kalnischkies2018-05-1112-27/+27
| | | | | | This shouldn't make a practical difference for most people, but for edge cases it avoids DNS lookups and additionally prevents us from perfoming unneeded SRV requests, too.
* po: Drop boilerplate in initial commentsDavid Kalnischkies2018-05-101-2/+1
| | | | | | | | The boilerplate stems from automatic processing of these files as most (with the exception of po/nl.po) are one-off (partial) translations from years past. Gbp-Dch: Ignore

* move special READMEs into doc/ and format as mdDavid Kalnischkies2018-05-057-96/+359
| | | | | | The formatting is very basic and more should probably be done, but we at least get the files out of the root directory which in case of the various READMEs was confusing salsa which one display as (central) README.

| * apt-pkg: Add support for zstdJulian Andres Klode2018-03-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | zstd is a compression algorithm developed by facebook. At level 19, it is about 6% worse in size than xz -6, but decompression is multiple times faster, saving about 40% install time, especially with eatmydata on cloud instances.

| * Check that Date of Release file is not in the futureJulian Andres Klode2018-02-193-0/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By restricting the Date field to be in the past, an attacker cannot just create a repository from the future that would be accepted as a valid update for a repository. This check can be disabled by Acquire::Check-Date set to false. This will also disable Check-Valid-Until and any future date related checking, if any - the option means: "my computers date cannot be trusted." Modify the tests to allow repositories to be up to 10 hours in the future, so we can keep using hours there to simulate time changes.

* | ensure correct file permissions for auxfilesDavid Kalnischkies2018-02-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The interesting takeaway here is perhaps that 'chmod +w' is effected by the umask – obvious in hindsight of course. The usual setup helps with hiding that applying that recursively on all directories (and files) isn't correct. Ensuring files will not be stored with the wrong permissions even if in strange umask contexts is trivial in comparison. Fixing the test also highlighted that it wasn't bulletproof as apt will automatically fix the permissions of the directories it works with, so for this test we actually need to introduce a shortcut in the code.

* Introduce inrelease-path option for sources.listJulian Andres Klode2018-01-171-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow specifying an alternative path to the InRelease file, so you can have multiple versions of a repository, for example. Enabling this option disables fallback to Release and Release.gpg, so setting it to InRelease can be used to ensure that only that will be tried. We add two test cases: One for checking that it works, and another for checking that the fallback does not happen. Closes: #886745
* simplify translating "lists directory missing" msgDavid Kalnischkies2018-01-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | The appended "partial" should not be translated, but some translations got this wrong and now that there is also "auxfiles" we can just fix that problem by hiding these untranslatables from the translators. Gbp-Dch: Ignore

* add apt-transport-mirror manpageDavid Kalnischkies2018-01-033-0/+152
| | | | | The mirror method is undocumented since 0.7.24, now with the reimplementation it is high time to get something written about it.
* allow a method to request auxiliary filesDavid Kalnischkies2018-01-031-2/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a method needs a file to operate like e.g. mirror needs to get a list of mirrors before it can redirect the the actual requests to them. That could easily be solved by moving the logic into libapt directly, but by allowing a method to request other methods to do something we can keep this logic contained in the method and allow e.g. also methods which perform binary patching or similar things. Previously they would need to implement their own acquire system inside the existing one which in all likelyhood will not support the same features and methods nor operate with similar security compared to what we have already running 'above' the requesting method. That said, to avoid methods producing conflicts with "proper" files we are downloading a new directory is introduced to keep the auxiliary files in. [The message magic number 351 is a tribute to the german Grundgesetz article 35 paragraph 1 which defines that all authorities of the state(s) help each other on request.]
* document https options in new apt-transport-https manpageDavid Kalnischkies2018-01-039-219/+148
| | | | | | Same reasoning as with the previous commit for http with the added benefit of moving the hard to discover and untranslated example config into a manpage which could be translated.
* document http options in new apt-transport-http manpageDavid Kalnischkies2018-01-036-73/+158
| | | | | | We had documentation for the http transport in our "catch-all" apt.conf manpage, but it seems benefitial to document transports in their own manpage instead of pushing them all into one.
* Add rapid "happy eyeballs" connection fallback (RFC 8305)Julian Andres Klode2018-01-031-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try establishing connections in alternating address families in rapid intervals of 250 ms, adding more connections to the wait list until one succeeds (RFC 8305, happy eyeballs 2). It is important that WaitAndCheckErrors() waits until it has a successful connection, a time out, or all connections failed - otherwise the timing between tries might be wrong, and the final long wait might exit early because one connection failed without trying the others. Timing wise, this only works correctly on Linux, as select() counts down there. But we rely on that in some other places too, so this is not the time to fix that. Timeouts are only reported in the final long wait - the short inner waits are expected to time out more often, and multiple times, we do not want to report them. Closes: #668948 LP: #1308200 Gbp-Dch: paragraph
* Translate shared documentation parts againJulian Andres Klode2017-11-201-1/+7
| | | | | | | We accidentally did not translate the entity file, but should have. This makes apt.ent translatable again. This generates the target multiple times, but surprisingly, that works just fine, so let's just keep it that way, as it's clean code otherwise.
* allow apt_auth.conf(5) to be translatedDavid Kalnischkies2017-11-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | Adding manpages is really hard it seems. References: ea408c560ed85bb4ef7cf8f72f8463653501332c, ea7581c9aaaaebf844d00935a1cdf8c8fee7f7f3, 90bfc5b057d3f9136ffe34089b6e56d59593797c
* allow multivalue fields in deb822 sources to be foldedDavid Kalnischkies2017-11-191-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation said "spaces", but there is no real reason to be so strict and only allow spaces to separate values as that only leads to very long lines if e.g. multiple URIs are specified which are again hard to deal with from a user PoV which the deb822 format is supposed to avoid. It also deals with multiple consecutive spaces and strange things like tabs users will surely end up using in the real world. The old behviour on encountering folded lines is the generation of URIs which end up containing all these whitespace characters which tends to mess really bad with output and further processing.
