  1. apt (0.5.10) unstable; urgency=low
  2. * Correct the section in apt_preferences(5) on interpreting priorities
  3. to show that zero is not a valid priority, and print a warning if such
  4. a pin is encountered in the preferences file (Closes: #204971)
  5. * Regenerate French man pages from sgml source (Closes: #205886)
  6. * Get self-tests compiling again, updated for latest library API
  7. and g++ 3.3
  8. --
  9. apt (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
  10. * Oh well, apt isn't going to make it into testing anytime soon due to
  11. new glibc and gcc deps, so we might as well fix more bugs
  12. * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
  13. * Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)
  14. * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to have --version
  15. only print the version (and not usage as well) (Closes: #203418)
  16. * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
  17. dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
  18. pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
  19. * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
  20. belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
  21. * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
  22. write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
  23. written by a single write(2)
  24. * Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore
  25. * Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)
  26. * Avoid segfault if a package name is specified which consists
  27. entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')
  28. (Closes: #200425)
  29. * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
  30. suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation
  31. at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them
  32. (Closes: #200102)
  33. * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
  34. suggests/recommends which are Provided by a package which is already
  35. installed (Closes: #200395)
  36. * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
  37. Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
  38. * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
  39. string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
  40. more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
  41. it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
  42. (Closes: #194614)
  43. * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
  44. (Closes: #146667)
  45. * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
  46. indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
  47. (Closes: #194282)
  48. * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
  49. * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
  50. * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
  51. - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
  52. will add them
  53. - echo 3 > debian/compat
  54. - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
  55. * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
  56. * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
  57. password (Closes: #199425)
  58. * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
  59. #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
  60. with our SGML man pages
  61. * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
  62. fragments are properly substituted
  63. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Sun, 10 Aug 2003 19:54:39 -0400
  64. apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
  65. * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
  66. far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
  67. I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
  68. decidedly better than 0.5.4.
  69. * Clarify the meaning of the only-source option in apt-get(8)
  70. (Closes: #177258)
  71. * Updated French man pages from Philippe Batailler
  72. <philippe.batailler@free.fr> (Closes: #182194)
  73. * Give a warning if an illegal type abbreviation is used when looking up a
  74. configuration item (Closes: #168453)
  75. * Improve build-depends handling of virtual packages even further, so that
  76. it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
  77. are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
  78. package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)
  79. * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20030717.1
  80. * Tweak SGML in apt-extracttemplates.1.sgml so that literal '>' doesn't end
  81. up in output
  82. * Document SrcDirectory in apt-ftparchive.1.sgml (Closes: #156370)
  83. * Support TMPDIR in apt-extracttemplates (Closes: #191656)
  84. * Fix ru.po to use a capital letter for the translation of 'Y' so that
  85. YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
  86. to have this problem
  87. * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
  88. * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
  89. lots of stuff (perhaps an infinite amount) to read (Closes: #192228)
  90. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jul 2003 20:21:53 -0400
  91. apt (0.5.7) unstable; urgency=low
  92. * Update control file to match overrides (apt priority important,
  93. libapt-pkg-dev section libdevel)
  94. * Silence the essential packages check if we are only downloading
  95. archives and not changing the system (Closes: #190862)
  96. * Skip version check if a build-dependency is provided by an installed package
  97. (Closes: #126938)
  98. * Have apt-cache show exit with an error if it cannot find any of the
  99. specified packages (Closes: #101490)
