New parser: apt-cache - Githubissues

chriscroome commented 1 year ago

It would be nice to have the output of apt-cache --quiet show and perhaps also apt-cache --quiet policy as JSON, see the Debian manpage.

Note that while apt show and apt policy has similar outputs they are not always the same and just supporting apt-cache is probably sensible.

apt-cache show

An example from a Debian Buster server with backports enabled:

apt-cache --quiet show systemd

Description-en: system and service manager
 systemd is a system and service manager for Linux. It provides aggressive
 parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting
 services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using
 Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points and implements an
 elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic.
 .
 systemd is compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts and can work as a
 drop-in replacement for sysvinit.
 .
 Installing the systemd package will not switch your init system unless you
 boot with init=/lib/systemd/systemd or install systemd-sysv in addition.

From what I can see each version of a package is separated by an empty line and each package listing is colon separated unless the value is on multiple lines and in this case the value is indented by one space. If the value contains commas it is a list.

However I haven't found a specification for this output.

apt-cache policy

See the The apt-cache policy Command section of the The Debian Administrator's Handbook.

An example output, again on Debian Buster with backports enabled:

apt-cache --quiet policy systemd

apt-cache policy systemd

To me apt-cache policy looks harder to parse than apt-cache show, perhaps a specification for this output would be needed?

chriscroome commented 1 year ago

Perhaps this is not relevant but I've just found the APT JSON Hooks documentation:

APT 1.6 introduces support for hooks that talk JSON-RPC 2.0. Hooks act as a server, and APT as a client.

However I can't see how to access / create the $APT_HOOK_SOCKET, there is a Bash integration test script but my attempt to run it only got as far as:

./test/integration/test-apt-cli-json-hooks 
E: You need to build tree first 
E: Looks like the testcases ended prematurely with exitcode: 1

kellyjonbrazil commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the parser suggestions! I'll start working on some of these new parsers for the next release.

kellyjonbrazil commented 1 year ago

Interesting, it looks like the apt-cache show output works pretty well with the Key/value parser. Just a couple fields that could be split up:

Don't forget that apt-cache show might list several packages if, for example, backports is enabled and the package is available from the main repo and also backports.

kellyjonbrazil commented 11 months ago

It looks like apt-cache show has the same output as the new deb-packages-index parser in dev:

https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/issues/480

It looks like I could check specific fields for commas, like:

Depends Pre-Depends Recommends Suggests Conflicts Breaks Tag

kellyjonbrazil commented 8 months ago

I have a working version of the apt-cache show command parser in the dev branch.

chriscroome commented 8 months ago

It looks good but it only displays the last one?

kellyjonbrazil commented 8 months ago

This parser is an alias of rpm-qi so you won’t be able to test without cloning the dev branch or also downloading and replacing that parser file in place. I’ll double check that it is outputting all of the entries.

chriscroome commented 8 months ago

Thanks, I didn't realise that and simply downloaded the new parser.

kellyjonbrazil commented 7 months ago

Added in v1.25.2
