* keep compressed indexes in a low-cost formatDavid Kalnischkies2016-01-081-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* update manpage last-modified from git via pre-export hookDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-2513-13/+13
| | | | | | | | 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
* enforce a slightly more sensible default headerDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-2512-1124/+1445
| | | | | | | | | | | | In 12f7536 I chose to opt for a slightly better text which avoids assigning copyright to the FSF (not because it would be wrong to do it, but is usually not what the contributor intended, but just the default. xgettext has a --foreign flag for avoiding the copyright, but po4a hasn't and an empty copyright-holder doesn't work either, so this little rework of files with sed and cat.

* support arch:all data e.g. in separate Packages fileDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on a discussion with Niels Thykier who asked for Contents-all this implements apt trying for all architecture dependent files to get a file for the architecture all, which is treated internally now as an official architecture which is always around (like native). This way arch:all data can be shared instead of duplicated for each architecture requiring the user to download the same information again and again. There is one problem however: In Debian there is already a binary-all/ Packages file, but the binary-any files still include arch:all packages, so that downloading this file now would be a waste of time, bandwidth and diskspace. We therefore need a way to decide if it makes sense to download the all file for Packages in Debian or not. The obvious answer would be a special flag in the Release file indicating this, which would need to default to 'no' and every reasonable repository would override it to 'yes' in a few years time, but the flag would be there "forever". Looking closer at a Release file we see the field "Architectures", which doesn't include 'all' at the moment. With the idea outlined above that 'all' is a "proper" architecture now, we interpret this field as being authoritative in declaring which architectures are supported by this repository. If it says 'all', apt will try to get all, if not it will be skipped. This gives us another interesting feature: If I configure a source to download armel and mips, but it declares it supports only armel apt will now print a notice saying as much. Previously this was a very cryptic failure. If on the other hand the repository supports mips, too, but for some reason doesn't ship mips packages at the moment, this 'missing' file is silently ignored (= that is the same as the repository including an empty file). The Architectures field isn't mandatory through, so if it isn't there, we assume that every architecture is supported by this repository, which skips the arch:all if not listed in the release file.
* revamp all tools help messagesDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-0410-22/+106
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* split up help messages for simpler reuseDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-049-1795/+4836
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* revamp apt(8) to refer more instead of duplicatingDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-042-111/+114
| | | | | | As apt is targetted at users, lets try to make apt(8) for users as well by giving only a quick overview about what is available and some pointers for how to find a whole lot more details.
* add binary-specific options via Binary scopeDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-0/+20
| | | | | | Especially with apt now, it can be useful to set an option only for apt and not for apt-get. Using a binary-specific subtree which is merged into the root seems like a simple enough trick to achieve this.
