Public bug reported: [Impact] These are not driven from a direct user experience, but are related to other developments:
(1) unattended-upgrades could use the never pinning to disable repositories rather than switching candidates. That would simplify code quite a bit. (2) Packages-Require-Authorization lets a repository declare that downloading packages from it requires authorization. This is useful both for private repositories, as it can prevent unattended-upgrades failures if you remove authorization info; and it also allows creating a new form of semi-private repository, where only pool/ requires authorization. [Test case] Tests are included in autopkgtests and cover the common scenarios. https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/blob/master/test/integration/test-packages-require-authorization: (1) Add repository with Packages-Require-Authorization and no auth.conf entry: pin -32768 (2) Add repository with Packages-Require-Authorization and a auth.conf entry: pin 500 (3) As (2), but a custom pin still applies https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/blob/master/test/integration/test-policy-pinning#L365 (1) Test that Pin-Priority: never overrides both per-package pins and per-repository pins (2) Test that Pin-Priority: never is only applied for per-repository (Package: *) pins Tests in older releases should be the same, but it's not clear yet. Bug will be updated once the SRUs are ready. [Regression potential] The changes might introduce regressions in pinning. The pinning implementation in trusty is substantially different from the other releases, and should thus require more testing. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814727 Title: Backport never pinning and Packages-Require-Authorization To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1814727/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
