André Roth 4f339be879 fix(task): Eliminate data race in RunTaskInBackground return value
RunTaskInBackground() previously returned *task AFTER releasing list.Lock()
and sending the task to the consumer queue. This created a data race:

  1. list.queue <- task  (consumer receives)
  2. Consumer: list.Lock() → task.State = RUNNING → list.Unlock()
  3. RunTaskInBackground: return *task  (struct copy WITHOUT lock)

Steps 2 and 3 can execute concurrently — consumer writes task.State
while RunTaskInBackground reads the entire struct via copy.

Fix: Copy the task struct BEFORE unlocking, while list.Lock() is still
held. At this point the task was just created and no other goroutine can
access it, so the copy is guaranteed consistent (always State=IDLE).

The returned copy is a snapshot of the initial task state, which is what
callers expect — the task ID and name for tracking purposes.

Safety invariant maintained:
  - I4: All struct copies happen while list.Lock() is held

Changes:
  - task/list.go: RunTaskInBackground() copies *task before unlock,
    returns the pre-made copy instead of dereferencing after unlock

Documentation is available at `http://www.aptly.info/ <http://www.aptly.info/>`_. For support please use
open `issues <https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly/issues>`_ or `discussions <https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly/discussions>`_.

Aptly features:

* make mirrors of remote Debian/Ubuntu repositories, limiting by components/architectures
* take snapshots of mirrors at any point in time, fixing state of repository at some moment of time
* publish snapshot as Debian repository, ready to be consumed by apt
* controlled update of one or more packages in snapshot from upstream mirror, tracking dependencies
* merge two or more snapshots into one
* filter repository by search query, pulling dependencies when required
* publish self-made packages as Debian repositories
* REST API for remote access

Any contributions are welcome! Please see `CONTRIBUTING.md <CONTRIBUTING.md>`_.

Installation
=============

Aptly can be installed on several operating systems.

Debian / Ubuntu
----------------

Aptly is provided in the following debian packages:

* **aptly**: Includes the main Aptly binary, man pages, and shell completions
* **aptly-api**: A systemd service for the REST API, using the global /etc/aptly.conf
* **aptly-dbg**: Debug symbols for troubleshooting

The packages can be installed on official `Debian <https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=aptly>`_ and `Ubuntu <https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=aptly>`_ distributions.

Upstream Debian Packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If a newer version (not available in Debian/Ubuntu) of aptly is required, upstream debian packages (built from git tags) can be installed as follows:

Install the following APT key (as root)::

    wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/aptly.asc https://www.aptly.info/pubkey.txt

Define Release APT sources in ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/aptly.list``::

    deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/aptly.asc] http://repo.aptly.info/release DIST main

Where DIST is one of: ``bullseye``, ``bookworm``, ``trixie``, ``focal``, ``jammy``, ``noble``

Install aptly packages::

    apt-get update
    apt-get install aptly
    apt-get install aptly-api  # REST API systemd service

CI Builds
~~~~~~~~~~

For testing new features or bugfixes, recent builds are available as CI builds (built from master, may be unstable!) and can be installed as follows:

Define CI APT sources in ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/aptly-ci.list``::

    deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/aptly.asc] http://repo.aptly.info/ci DIST main

Where DIST is one of: ``bullseye``, ``bookworm``, ``trixie``, ``focal``, ``jammy``, ``noble``

Note: same gpg key is used as for the Upstream Debian Packages.

Other Operating Systems
------------------------

Binary executables (depends almost only on libc) are available on `GitHub Releases <https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly/releases>`_ for:

- macOS / darwin (amd64, arm64)
- FreeBSD (amd64, arm64, 386, arm)
- Generic Linux (amd64, arm64, 386, arm)
