* show a warning for Debian shutting down FTP servicesDavid Kalnischkies2017-07-261-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | We detect the effected sources by matching Release info – that has potential by-catch of repositories which have incorrect field values, but those are better fixed now anyhow. The bigger incorrectness is that this message will not only be printed for the Debian services itself but also for all mirrors not under Debian control but serving Debian like more local/private mirrors which will not (directly) shutdown. It is likely through that many of them will follow suite with less visible announcements or break downright if their upstream source disappears, so having false-positives here seems benefitial for the user in the end.

* reimplement and document auth.confDavid Kalnischkies2017-07-262-0/+133
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing 518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer exists making the feature even more arcane. On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style) and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first. We now do a single pass over the stanzas. In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to document and more usual for an apt user. Closes: #811181

* ask for releaseinfo change interactively in aptDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | If we have a user sitting around we can let 'apt' ask the user for a confirmation rather than print errors at the end and require the user to figure out which commandline flags are needed to confirm the changes non-interactively.
* error in update on Release information changesDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-283-19/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | The value of Origin, Label, Codename and co can be used in user configuration from apts own pinning to unattended upgrades. A repository changing this values can therefore have serious effects on the behaviour of apt and other tools using these values. In a first step we will generate error messages for these changes now explaining the need for explicit confirmation and provide config options and commandline flags to accept them.
* fail instead of warn on insecure repositories in apt-getDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-281-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | The exception was made to give (script) users a one-release grace period to adapt their setup to deal with apt enforcing signing of repositories. As we are now at the start of a new release cycle its as good a time as any to lift it now. Removes-Exception: 952ee63b0af14a534c0aca00c11d1a99be6b22b2
* Introduce Acquire::AllowTLS to turn off TLS supportJulian Andres Klode2017-06-282-0/+11
| | | | | | As requested by Henrique de Moraes Holschuh, here comes an option to disable TLS support. If the option is set to false, the internal TLS layer is disabled.
* avoid explicit types for pkg counts by autoDavid Kalnischkies2017-06-261-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | Changes nothing on the program front and as the datatypes are sufficently comparable fixes no bug either, but problems later on if we ever change the types of those and prevent us using types which are too large for the values we want to store waste (a tiny bit of) resources.

Also changing the dot in "&apt-cache. &apt;" to a semicolon to fix the syntax error and refreshed to drop the outdated fuzzy comments. Closes: 852460

* update release mappings in documentationDavid Kalnischkies2017-01-191-7/+7
| | | | | While unlikely, it would be embarrising if we would need a freeze exception for such a change, so lets do the flip now.
* Release 1.4~beta41.4_beta4Julian Andres Klode2017-01-1712-13/+13
| | | | | | | We are basically frozen now, but (a) this wildcard thing is a bit "explosive" to call this RC and (b) you never know if you might need to add a new tiny feature and freeze can be long...
* Read dpkg tables to handle architecture wildcardsJulian Andres Klode2017-01-171-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel, but should match any-arm. With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11). There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for historical and API reasons: * The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style wildcard matching on the commandline. * The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm- is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard ending in a minus. * Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets - by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any" if there is a wildcard component. Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch() expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way. This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all things it should accept. Closes: #748936 Thanks: James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com> for the initial patch

* allow warning generation for non-whitelisted optionsDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-243/+523
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea is simple: Each¹ Find*( call starts with a call check if the given option (with the requested type) exists in the whitelist. The whitelist is specified via our configure-index file so that we have a better chance at keeping it current. the whitelist is loaded via a special (undocumented for now) configuration stanza and if none is loaded the empty whitelist will make it so that no warnings are shown. Much needs to be done still, but that is as good a time as any to take a snapshot of the current state and release it into the wild given that it found some bugs already and has no practical effect on users. ¹ not all in this iteration, but many
* expand -f to --fix-broken in error messagesDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-3111-30/+152
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Users end up believing that this is a --force mode as -f is common for that, but apt doesn't have such a mode and --fix-broken is really not about forcing something but actually trying to fix the breakage which tends to be the result of a user forcing something on its system via low-level forced dpkg calls. Example: The "common" pattern of "dpkg -i ./foo.deb; apt install -f" is nowadays far better dealt with via "apt install ./foo.deb". And while at it the two places handing out this suggestion are changed to use the same strings to avoid needless translation work in the future and the suggestion uses 'apt' instead of 'apt-get' as this will be run interactively by a user, so its a good opportunity to showcase what we can do and will allow us to be more helpful to the user. Closes: #709092 Thanks: Kristian Glass for initial patch!
* add --indep-only for build-dep commandDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-1/+6
| | | | | | | | The implementation is quite different compared to --arch-only due to ABI reasons but functionality wise they are similar and usually both available for symmetry at least. Closes: #845775

* add hidden config to set packages as Essential/ImportantDavid Kalnischkies2016-11-111-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | You can pretty much achieve the same with a local dummy package if you want to, but libapt has an inbuilt setting for essential: "apt" which can be overridden with this option as well – it could be helpful in quick tests and what not so adding this alternative shouldn't really hurt much. We aren't going to document them much through as care must be taken in regards to the binary caches as they aren't invalidated by config options alone, so the effects of old settings could still be in them, similar to the other already existing pkgCacheGen option(s).
