Add Debian package registry (#22854)
Co-authored-by: @awkwardbunny

This PR adds a Debian package registry. You can follow [this
tutorial](https://www.baeldung.com/linux/create-debian-package) to build
a *.deb package for testing. Source packages are not supported at the
moment and I did not find documentation of the architecture "all" and
how these packages should be treated.

# Debian Packages Repository
Publish [Debian](https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages) packages for your user or organization.
**Table of Contents**
{{< toc >}}
## Requirements
To work with the Debian registry, you need to use a HTTP client like `curl` to upload and a package manager like `apt` to consume packages.
The following examples use `apt`.
## Configuring the package registry
To register the Debian registry add the url to the list of known apt sources:
```shell
echo "deb https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian {distribution} {component}" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitea.list
```
| Placeholder | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `distribution` | The distribution to use. |
| `component` | The component to use. |
If the registry is private, provide credentials in the url. You can use a password or a [personal access token]({{< relref "doc/development/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}):
```shell
echo "deb https://{username}:{your_password_or_token}@gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian {distribution} {component}" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitea.list
```
The Debian registry files are signed with a PGP key which must be known to apt:
```shell
sudo curl https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian/repository.key -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/gitea-{owner}.asc
```
Afterwards update the local package index:
```shell
apt update
```
## Publish a package
To publish a Debian package (`*.deb`), perform a HTTP PUT operation with the package content in the request body.
```
PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian/pool/{distribution}/{component}/upload
```
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `distribution` | The distribution may match the release name of the OS, ex: `bionic`. |
| `component` | The component can be used to group packages or just `main` or similar. |
Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:
```shell
curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
--upload-file path/to/file.deb \
https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/debian/pool/bionic/main/upload
```
If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a [personal access token]({{< relref "doc/development/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}) instead of the password.
You cannot publish a file with the same name twice to a package. You must delete the existing package version first.
The server reponds with the following HTTP Status codes.
| HTTP Status Code | Meaning |
| ----------------- | ------- |
| `201 Created` | The package has been published. |
| `400 Bad Request` | The package name, version, distribution, component or architecture are invalid. |
| `409 Conflict` | A package file with the same combination of parameters exist already in the package. |
## Delete a package
To delete a Debian package perform a HTTP DELETE operation. This will delete the package version too if there is no file left.
```
DELETE https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian/pool/{distribution}/{component}/{package_name}/{package_version}/{architecture}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
| `package_version` | The package version. |
| `distribution` | The package distribution. |
| `component` | The package component. |
| `architecture` | The package architecture. |
Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:
```shell
curl --user your_username:your_token_or_password -X DELETE \
https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/debian/pools/bionic/main/test-package/1.0.0/amd64
```
The server reponds with the following HTTP Status codes.
| HTTP Status Code | Meaning |
| ----------------- | ------- |
| `204 No Content` | Success |
| `404 Not Found` | The package or file was not found. |
## Install a package
To install a package from the Debian registry, execute the following commands:
```shell
# use latest version
apt install {package_name}
# use specific version
apt install {package_name}={package_version}
```
