* policy: Do not override negative pins with 1 due to phasingJulian Andres Klode2022-06-281-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If a package is already pinned to a negative value, we should not override this with a positive 1. This causes packages to be installable that were pinned to -1, which is not intended. For this, implement phasing as a ceiling of 1 for the pin instead of a fixed 1 value. An alternative would have been to fix it to NEVER_PIN, but that would mean entirely NEW packages would not be installable while phasing which is not the intention either. LP: #1978125
* (Temporarily) Rewrite phased updates using a keep-back approachJulian Andres Klode2022-06-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a lot closer to the original implementation in update-manager, but still has a couple of differences that might cause bugs: - When checking whether a version is a security update, we only check versions in between and not any later version. This happens mostly because we do not know the suite, so we just check if there is any version between the installed version and our target that is a security update - We only keep already installed packages, as we run before the resolver. update-manager first runs the resolver, and then marks for keep all packages that were upgraded or newly installed that are phasing (afaict). This approach has a significant caveat that if you have version 1 installed from a release pocket, version 2 is in security, and version 3 is phasing in updates, that it installs version 3 rather than 2 from security as the policy based implementation does. It also means that apt install does not respect phasing and would always install version 3 in such a scenario. LP: #1979244
* policy: Apply phasing to uninstalled packages tooJulian Andres Klode2021-05-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a package is not installed yet, we do need to apply phasing as we otherwise get into weird situations when installing packages: In the launchpad bug below, ubuntu-release-upgrader-core was installed, and hence the phasing for the upgrade to it was applied. However, ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk was about to be installed - and hence the phasing did not apply, causing a version mismatch, because ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk from -updates was used, but -core from release pocket. Sigh. An alternative approach to dealing with this issue could be to apply phasing to all packages within the same source package, which would work in most cases. However, there might be unforeseen side effects and it is of course possible to have = depends between source packages, such as -signed packages on the unsigned ones for bootloaders. This problem does not occur in the update-manager implementation of phased updates as update-manager only deals with upgrading packages, but does not install new packages and thus does not see that issue. APT however, has to apply phasing more broadly, as you can and often do install additional packages during upgrade, or upgrade packages during install commands, as both accept package list arguments and have the same code in the backend.

* Add support for Phased-Update-PercentageJulian Andres Klode2021-01-081-0/+272
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.
