Closes #97.

Adds a deb registry that reads an archive's Packages indexes, following the plan in #97.

Configuration. As proposed in my last comment there, the suites, components and architectures go in the query string of the archive URL, which archives don't use:

https://deb.debian.org/debian?suites=bookworm,bookworm-updates&components=main&architectures=amd64

components defaults to main. suites and architectures are required, and architectures=source fails as unsupported. An archive under another root, such as deb.debian.org/debian-security with bookworm-security, is a registry of its own. If you'd rather have an exported config type and constructor, that's an easy change.

Indexes.

  • Each suite's InRelease is read, falling back to Release. Without either, its indexes are read unchecked.
  • Of the variants the Release lists, Packages.xz, Packages.gz and Packages are tried in that order, moving on after a 404. Each is checked against its SHA256 and size.
  • binary-all is read too where the Release lists it.
  • Indexes are decoded and parsed as a stream, through a new Client.Stream.
  • The decompressed size is capped at 512 MiB.
  • .xz is decoded by a small reader of its own, internal/xzlimit. An .xz block header names the LZMA2 dictionary it needs, up to 4 GiB, and ulikunitz/xz allocates what it names. Checking headers ahead of decoding can't be made sound, since where a block ends is only known by decoding it. So xzlimit reads the container itself, refuses a block asking for more than 64 MiB as it reaches it, and hands the block's data to the library's LZMA2 decoder with exactly that dictionary. It verifies the header, block, index and footer checksums.
  • Nothing is cached unless every index was read and checked.

Artifacts.

  • Each version gets one artifact per architecture and release.
  • Artifacts carry sha256-<hex> integrity, the size, and the metadata arch, distro, suite and component.
  • distro is the Release's codename without -updates or -security.
  • A Filename that would leave the archive root gets no artifact.
  • Versions keep their epoch (1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3) and are sorted with the deb scheme.

Left for follow-ups:

  • The resolver side: the debian-12 → bookworm and ubuntu-22.04 → jammy table, and matching a version without its epoch or with trivy's epoch= qualifier.
  • GPG verification of InRelease.
  • snapshot.debian.org.
  • The resolver only hands out https download URLs from metadata, so archives served over plain http won't resolve. Every Debian and Ubuntu mirror I tried serves https.

Tested. Unit tests cover both compressed formats and plain indexes, several versions and architectures including Architecture: all, the same version in two releases, epochs, checksum and size mismatches, an index the Release lists but the archive lacks, missing configuration, and not-found packages and versions. xzlimit is compared with the library's own reader on Debian's index and on multi-block, multi-stream and every-check-type files, and tested against malformed and truncated ones. All of it is mutation-checked. I also ran it against real archives:

archive read
deb.debian.org bookworm + bookworm-updates, main amd64 1.6 s, about 190 MB of memory
deb.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security 0.5 s
archive.ubuntu.com jammy + jammy-updates, main + universe amd64 2.6 s, about 200 MB
download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm stable, amd64 + arm64 0.2 s
deb.debian.org sid, main amd64 (11 MB .xz) 1.8 s, about 210 MB

I downloaded one resolved .deb and checked it against its SHA256.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Debian (deb) support for package and version lookups, dependencies, maintainers, and downloadable artifacts with architecture and distribution qualifiers.
    • Debian package indexes support XZ, gzip, and uncompressed formats, with integrity checks when Release metadata is available.
    • Added streaming for URL responses, with a stream-size limit and callback error reporting.
  • Documentation
    • Added details on Debian repository configuration, supported qualifiers, version handling, and source-package limitations.

Read the Packages indexes of the suites, components and architectures
given as query parameters on the archive URL. Each index is checked
against the SHA256 its suite's InRelease or Release lists, tried as
Packages.xz, Packages.gz and Packages past a 404, and decoded as a
stream. The LZMA2 dictionary of every .xz block is checked before
decoding, since the decoder allocates whatever a block asks for.

Artifacts record arch and distro (the suite's codename without -updates
or -security) for qualifier selection. Versions keep their epoch and
compare with the deb scheme.

Add Client.Stream for large bodies that aren't JSON.

Walkthrough

The change adds a Debian registry that reads package indexes and exposes package and artifact data. It adds bounded HTTP and XZ streaming, registers the deb ecosystem, and updates resolver tests and documentation.

Changes: Debian Registry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded response streaming and XZ decoding
client/client.go, client/client_test.go, internal/xzlimit/*, internal/xzlimit/xzlimit_test.go, internal/deb/parse_test.go, go.mod
Client.Stream passes response bodies to a callback under a configured size limit. The XZ reader validates stream structures and enforces a dictionary limit. Tests cover stream limits, XZ decoding, malformed input, and error handling.
Parse and validate Debian indexes
internal/deb/parse.go, internal/deb/parse_test.go
The parsers read package stanzas, Release metadata, dependencies, and archive paths. Tests cover valid and malformed input.
Read indexes and resolve package data
internal/deb/deb.go, internal/deb/deb_test.go
The registry validates archive configuration, discovers and reads package indexes, checks listed index sizes and SHA256 values, and caches records. Tests cover configuration, index handling, caching, and retries.
Expose Debian package and artifact data
internal/deb/deb.go, internal/deb/deb_test.go
The registry returns package, version, dependency, maintainer, artifact, and PURL data. Artifacts include architecture and distro qualifiers when their pool paths are safe.
Register and document the deb ecosystem
all/all.go, registries_test.go, fetch/deb_resolver_test.go, README.md
The all-registries package imports the Debian implementation. Registry expectations and resolver tests cover Debian behavior. The README describes Debian configuration and artifact qualifiers.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~50 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 9be97

This adds a Debian registry with bounded index streaming and XZ decoding. Earlier review findings have been addressed, and no merge-blocking risk remains in the supplied evidence. Note that InRelease signatures are not verified, as documented.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 9be97

The new ingestion path has useful integrity and size controls, but a hostile archive can still trigger excessive processing through folded dependency fields. That work can stall other lookups sharing the same registry instance.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Archive-controlled Depends and Pre-Depends continuations repeatedly rebuild the complete accumulated string. Millions of short continuation lines fit within the per-line and per-index limits but induce quadratic copying before checksum verification. Because parsing holds the registry mutex and does not check cancellation, one hostile index can consume substantial CPU and allocation bandwidth while blocking all lookups sharing that registry instance.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Exploitation of the processing concern requires control over index bytes returned by a selected archive, rather than merely a package lookup name. The directly supported impact is excessive resource consumption in the caller process and blocking of lookups sharing that registry; broader tenant or service impact depends on deployment sharing not established here.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — For ARCH-DEB-001, a small compressed index can expand into many short dependency continuations. Each continuation copies the growing field before the final checksum comparison. A later integrity failure therefore prevents publication but does not prevent the preceding computational denial of service.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Archive Filename values must be relative paths without dot segments, escapes or URL syntax before artifact URLs are constructed beneath the configured archive root. The existing fetch resolver then applies HTTPS and resolved-address policy checks before returning a selected artifact URL; those checks are unchanged by this PR.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The default compressed-body limit and decompressed-index limit are each 512 MiB. Debian decoding passes a 64 MiB per-block XZ dictionary limit, and the custom reader checks block, index and footer consistency before successful end-of-file. These bound important resource dimensions but do not bound cumulative field-assembly work.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make folded-field accumulation linear, enforce cumulative field or stanza budgets, and make parsing and cache-build waiting cancellation-aware so the byte limits also provide useful processing containment.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Add a Debian repository client" matches the main change. The PR adds a deb registry that reads Debian Packages indexes from a configured archive URL, which the client-focused title describes. The title is concise and specific, and it does not describe anything absent from the changeset.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#97] Read-path requirements are implemented at the reviewed head. internal/deb/deb.go requires suites and architectures, defaults components to main, rejects source, and returns ErrInvalidConfig for a missing URL. It reads dists/<suite>/<component>/binary-<arch>/ indexes, adds binary-all where the Release lists it, and tries Packages.xz, Packages.gz, Packages in order, moving on after a 404. Each index is checked against the Release SHA256 and size. parseIndex streams through Client.Stream and xzlimit.NewReader(counted, xzlimit.MaxDict), so the 64 MiB dictionary bound is applied during decoding. Decompressed size is capped at maxIndexSize = 512 MiB. Artifacts resolve Filename relative to the archive root, carry sha256- integrity and size, and record arch, distro, suite, and component metadata. Versions are sorted with vers.CompareWithScheme(..., "deb"), which keeps epochs. Index caching happens only after every suite is read. Tests cover the listed cases per the PR description and the test file summary. Residual uncertainty: the issue's example PURL includes arch and distro qualifiers, but URLs.PURL emits only repository_url. Per the issue, artifact-level qualifier selection is assigned to #95 and artifacts record arch and distro, so this is treated as covered. Not verified: the test bodies were not read.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Each changed area connects to #97 or to a contract it needs. internal/deb (deb.go, parse.go, and their tests) implements the registry. internal/xzlimit implements the .xz decoding the issue requires, and go.mod adds the ulikunitz/xz dependency the issue names as new. client/client.go adds Stream, which the streaming requirement needs, with its test. fetch/deb_resolver_test.go covers resolution of the new registry. all/all.go, registries_test.go, and README.md register and document the ecosystem. The excluded and unread test data is not a scope concern.

repository_url held only the archive root, so a PURL the registry built
could not be read back: the suites and architectures were missing. It
is now the whole configured URL.

Keep the resolver test, which needs httptest.NewTLSServer, out of the
TinyGo build.

The dictionary check found blocks through each stream's index, which
the decoder only compares with the blocks after it has read their
headers and allocated their dictionaries. An index that left a block
out hid it. The check now reads the file front to back: each block
header, then the block's LZMA2 chunks by the sizes in their headers.
It no longer takes sizes from the footer, which could overflow a
32-bit int.

- The same version in two releases is recorded for each, so either
  distro resolves; -updates repeating a version still adds nothing.
- An index the Release lists but the archive doesn't serve fails the
  read instead of leaving its packages out for the Registry's lifetime.
- A clearsigned Release with CRLF line endings is read, and one without
  its header separator or signature is an error, not an empty Release.
- Dependencies keep << and >> requirements, which were cut as build
  profiles.

Checking block headers ahead of decoding cannot be made sound: where a
block's data ends is only known by decoding it, since the LZMA2 decoder
may stop short of the compressed size a chunk declares. A file could
place a block header where the check did not look.

internal/xzlimit reads the .xz container itself and hands each block's
data to ulikunitz/xz's LZMA2 decoder with exactly the dictionary the
block asks for, refusing one over the limit as it is reached. It
verifies the header, block, index and footer checksums. Packages.xz is
now decoded as a stream like the other variants, so its size limit and
the check before decoding are gone.

internal/xzlimit/xzlimit_test.go: 1

259-259: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Corrupt the intended fields in these two cases.

The fixture has one block with 1,080 uncompressed bytes. Its footer is 12 bytes, and its index is 12 bytes. From the end of the file:

  • The block check (CRC32) occupies len-28 through len-25.
  • The index begins at len-24. Its first byte, index[0], is the index indicator.
  • The uncompressed-size varint begins after the unpadded-size varint. Byte index[6] is always padding.

So -12-8-4 (len-24) changes the index indicator, not the block check. index[indexSize-5-1] (index[6]) changes padding, not the uncompressed size. Both cases assert only ErrMalformed, so each can pass on a different error and leave its named check untested.

Target the block check at -12-12-4. For the uncompressed size, locate the field with uvarint, which returns the length of the unpadded-size varint:

Suggested fix

-		"block check":               patch(-12-8-4, valid[len(valid)-12-8-4]^1),
+		"block check":               patch(-12-12-4, valid[len(valid)-12-12-4]^1),
-		"uncompressed size":     reindex(func(index []byte) { index[indexSize-5-1]++ }),
+		"uncompressed size":     reindex(func(index []byte) { _, n := uvarint(index[2:]); index[2+n]++ }),

Thanks for this, it follows the plan in #97 closely and the index handling is careful. The query string for suites, components and architectures is fine, no need for an exported config type.

One thing to fix before merging:

A configured suite that yields no index is skipped without an error. In Registry.index (internal/deb/deb.go:192-201), ErrNoIndex is only returned when every suite reads zero indexes. With suites=bookworm,bookwrm-updates, or a mirror that briefly answers 404 for one suite's InRelease, Release and indexes, the Registry caches a map without that suite for its lifetime. That is the same outcome the listed-but-not-served check in readIndex guards against. Please return ErrNoIndex naming the suite when readSuite returns 0, with a test that has one good suite and one empty one.

Smaller:

  • client/client.go:46 and :369: the MaxStreamSize and WithMaxStreamSize comments still say the limit is for bodies read through StreamJSON. Stream uses it too, so both should say so.

This PR closes #97, but the debian-12 to bookworm codename table, matching a version without its epoch, GPG verification of InRelease and snapshot.debian.org are left out and have no issues yet. Please open an issue for each so they aren't lost when #97 closes.

A misspelt suite, or one a mirror briefly answers 404 for, was left out of
the cached map for the Registry's lifetime as long as another suite read.
Each suite now needs at least one index, and the error names it.

Also say that MaxStreamSize applies to Stream as well as StreamJSON.

Fixed in 9be978c.

  • Registry.index returns ErrNoIndex naming the suite as soon as readSuite reads none for it. TestSuiteWithoutIndexFails has a good bookworm and an empty bookworm-updates, checks the error names the empty one, and that nothing is cached: once the suite appears, the next read succeeds.
  • The MaxStreamSize and WithMaxStreamSize comments now name Stream as well as StreamJSON.

I'll open the four follow-up issues and link them here.
