This is an inactive derivative according to the census, and all the URLs which
are part of tanglu.org are dead.

The CDN service deb.d.o is more reliable than the http
redirector, so switch to it for our examples.

On BSD systems, we cannot simply use find -name or stuff, we
always have to pass a directory name first.

Bye, bye, old friend.

Cache the current vendor, so we do not have to rerun getinfo when
reconfiguring stuff. This also has the nice effect of making the
vendor configurable, so you can manually specify it on a platform
that might not have dpkg (not that building without dpkg works
yet).

This can be used to query a field for a specific vendor. It
also speeds up things a lot if we can cache the current vendor
in cmake and pass it to further getinfo invocations.

Introduce an initial CMake buildsystem. This build system can build
a fully working apt system without translation or documentation.
The FindBerkelyDB module is from kdelibs, with some small adjustements
to also look in db5 directories.
Initial work on this CMake build system started in 2009, and was
resumed in August 2016.

This makes it easier to write a generic subsitution tool for
handling substitutions in apt-key.in and sources.list.in

Introduce the 'current' command to eventually replace the current
symbolic link. The current command does roughly the same as the
makefile, the code has just been cleaned up a bit to work better
as a shell function.

Debian isn't using 'update' anymore for years and the command is in
direct conflict with our goal of not requiring gnupg anymore, so it
is high time to officially declare this command as deprecated.

If pkgAcqChangelog is told to acquire the changelog for a version it
will check first if this version is installed on the disk and if so will
use the local changelog in /usr/share/doc (possibily/likely gz
compressed) instead of downloading the file from the web.
An option is provided to disable this, which is enabled by default for
the Ubuntu vendor as they truncate the local changelogs – and for apts
--print-uris action.

Parsing XML entity files in shell isn't exactly nice and causing the
substitution with a while-read loop isn't either, but it seems to be
good enough for the moment without changing too much.
Thanks: Niels Thykier for reporting on IRC

Having two different formats in the same file is very dirty and causes
external tools to fail hard trying to parse them. It is probably not a
good idea for them to parse them in the first place, but they do and we
shouldn't break them if there is a better way.
So we solve this issue for now by giving our deb822 format a new
filename extension ".sources" which unsupporting applications are likely
to ignore an can begin gradually moving forward rather than waiting for
the unknown applications to catch up.
Currently and for the forseeable future apt is going to support both
with the same feature set as documented in the manpage, with the
longtime plan of adopting the 'new' format as default, but that is a
long way to go and might get going more from having an easier time
setting options than from us pushing it explicitely.

Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure
out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error
message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try
to download if it should just be displayed or similar such.
The URI is constructed as follows:
Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field,
otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or
"Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value
for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is
replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog
for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path
part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct),
while the rest of the URI varies widely between them.
The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs
for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where
the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what
apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from
security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian
and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists).
If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different
location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin.

Vendors like ubuntu need to change some options, so giving them
a way to do this less painfully avoids reducing differences.

Modified by commiter to not publicily export the codename (as the
manpages do not use it that way) and removing the included additional
derives logic as it was not working (the link always exists at that
point) and isn't needed as we do the special casing for debian mainly
because it would shallow all distributions otherwise.
(similar, but not that strong for ubuntu)

It can be useful to have a whole makefile available for vendor setup,
but by providing a basic one we can deal with the simple cases more
easily (and changes to the system are presumably easier).

The apt-key script uses quiet a few keyring files for operation which
are specific to the distribution it is build on and is hence one of the
most patched parts – even if it is not that often used anymore now that
a fragment directory for trusted.gpg exists.
|
|
Adds a small helper to extract the small information bits we store in
apt-vendor.ent and uses it in debian/rules to set apt:keyring as a
substvar for debian/control populated with the &keyring-package; info
|
|
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.

Many derivatives make quiet a few simple changes to apt introducing
silly diffs just to change examples and co making it harder for
them to update apt and harder for us to merge real changes back.
