Apt.installedBackport replaced with Apt.backportInstalled

2018-05-17T14:33:26Z

Apt.installedBackport would do this: apt-get install -t stretch-backports foo bar Apt.backportInstalled does this: apt-get install foo/stretch-backports bar/stretch-backports The Apt.installedBackport behaviour can install the dependencies of foo and bar from stretch-backports even when the versions in stretch will satisfy the dependencies of the backports of foo and bar. So this property can result in very many more backports being installed on the host when intended. But the number of installed backports should always be minimised. Worse, whether this happens is highly dependent on the system state, and the order in which other properties get ensured. For example, & Apt.installed ["dgit"] & Apt.installedBackport ["dgit"] will install only dgit from stretch-backports, but unless debhelper and devscripts happen to already be installed, & Apt.installedBackport ["dgit"] & Apt.installed ["dgit"] will install dgit, debhelper, devscripts and maybe more from backports. This is surprising, difficult to debug, and breaks the expectation that when the order in which properties are ensured is not specified with connectives like `requires` and `before`, ensuring them in any order will produce the same result. Property renamed because user configs should not silently break, as they would if they did not list dependencies that must be installed from stable-backports. Signed-off-by: Sean Whitton

Apt.trustsKey: Use apt-key to add key rather than manually driving gpg, which seems to not work anymore.

Thanks, Russell Sim.

Apt.isInstalled: Fix handling of packages that are not known at all to apt.

getInstallStatus returns [] when passed only such packages, and all of that list == IsInstalled. So also check that the list contains every package queried.

add a description for Apt.useLocalCacher

drop suggestion to use Apt.mirror for a LAN apt cacher

2017-07-15T15:53:25Z

It is probably best to use Apt.proxy for this.

add Apt.proxy, Apt.useLocalCacher

Apt.mirror can be used to set the preferred apt mirror of a host, overriding the default CDN.

This info is used by Apt.stdSourcesList and Sbuild.builtFor. Thanks, Sean Whitton.
