  22. * Updated Polish translation from Marcin Owsiany <porridge@debian.org>
  23. (Closes: #238333)
  24. * In pkgAcquire::Shutdown(), set the status of fetching items to
  25. StatError to avoid a sometimes large batch of error messages
  26. (Closes: #234685)
  27. * Implement an ugly workaround for the 10000-character limit on the
  28. Binaries field in debSrcRecordParser, until such time as some things
  29. can be converted over to use STL data types (ABI change) (Closes: #236688)
  30. * Increase default tagfile buffer from 32k to 128k; this arbitrary limit
  31. should also be removed someday (Closes: #174945)
  32. * Checked against Standards-Version 3.6.1 (no changes)
  33. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Tue, 16 Mar 2004 22:47:55 -0800
  34. apt (0.5.23) unstable; urgency=low
  35. * Cosmetic updates to XML man pages from Richard Bos <radoeka@xs4all.nl>

  40. <chaisave@263.net> (Closes: #234186)
  41. * Change default for Acquire::http::max-age to 0 to prevent index files
  42. being out of sync with each other (important with Release.gpg)
  43. * Add an assert() to make sure that we don't overflow a fixed-size
  44. buffer in the very unlikely event that someone adds 10 packaging
  45. systems to apt (Closes: #233678)
  46. * Fix whitespace in French translation of "Yes, do as I say!", which
  47. made it tricky to type, again. Thanks to Sylvain Pasche
  48. <sylvain.pasche@switzerland.org> (Closes: #234494)
  49. * Print a slightly clearer error message if no packaging systems are
  50. available (Closes: #233681)
  51. * Point to Build-Depends in COMPILING (Closes: #233669)
  52. * Make debian/rules a bit more consistent in a few places.
  53. Specifically, always use -p$@ rather than an explicit package name,
  54. and always specify it first, and use dh_shlibdeps -l uniformly rather
  55. than sometimes changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH directly
  56. * Document unit for Cache-Limit (bytes) (Closes: #234737)
  57. * Don't translate "Yes, do as I say!" in Chinese locales, because it can
  58. be difficult to input (Closes: #234886)
  59. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Thu, 26 Feb 2004 17:08:14 -0800
  60. apt (0.5.22) unstable; urgency=low
  61. * Updated French translation of man pages from Philippe Batailler

  63. * Initialize StatusFile in debSystem (Closes: #229791)
  64. * Fix apt-get's suggests/recommends printing, which was skipping every
  65. other dependency due to both using GlobOr and incrementing the DepIterator
  66. (Closes: #229722)
  67. * Restore SIGINT/SIGQUIT handlers to their old values (rather than
  68. SIG_DFL) after invoking dpkg (Closes: #229854)
  69. * Updated Dutch translation of message catalog from cobaco
  70. <cobaco@linux.be> (Closes: #229601)

  81. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Mon, 9 Feb 2004 12:44:54 -0800
  82. apt (0.5.21) unstable; urgency=low
  83. * Patch from Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> to include apt18n.h after
  84. other headers to avoid breaking locale.h when setlocale() is defined
  85. as an empty macro. This was not a problem on Debian, but broke
  86. compilation on Solaris. (Closes: #226509)
  87. * Updated French translation from Pierre Machard <pmachard@debian.org>
  88. (Closes: #226886)

  90. (Closes: #226813)
  91. * Fix typo in apt-cache(8) (Closes: #226351)

  94. * Patch from Oliver Kurth <oku@masqmail.cx> to use AC_CACHE_VAL for
  95. GLIBC_VER to make cross-compilation easier (Closes: #221528)
  96. * Add example preferences file (Closes: #220799)
  97. * Updated Greek translation from Konstantinos Margaritis <markos@debian.org>

  99. * Updated Spanish translation of man pages from Ruben Porras
  100. <nahoo82@telefonica.net> (Closes: #227729)
  101. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 10:54:39 -0800
  102. apt (0.5.20) unstable; urgency=low
  103. * Fixed German translations of "Suggested" from Christian Garbs
  104. <debian@cgarbs.de> (Closes: #197960)
  105. * Add an "apt-cache madison" command with an output format similar to
  106. the katie tool of the same name (but less functionality)
  107. * Fix debSourcesIndex::Describe() to correctly say "Sources" rather than
  108. "Packages"
  109. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Sat, 3 Jan 2004 23:42:50 -0800
  110. apt (0.5.19) unstable; urgency=low
  111. * Fix Packages::Extensions support in apt-ftparchive generate
  112. (Closes: #225453)
  113. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Sat, 3 Jan 2004 16:20:31 -0800
  114. apt (0.5.18) unstable; urgency=low
  115. * New no_NO.po file from Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@debian.org> to fix
  116. encoding problems (Closes: #225602)
  117. * Have "apt-ftparchive release" strip the leading path component from
  118. the checksum entries
  119. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Fri, 2 Jan 2004 11:24:35 -0800
  120. apt (0.5.17) unstable; urgency=low
  121. * Enable apt-ftparchive to generate Release files. Hopefully this will
  122. make it easier for folks to secure their apt-able packages
  123. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Fri, 26 Dec 2003 12:53:21 -0800
  124. apt (0.5.16) unstable; urgency=low

  126. (Closes: #222560)
  127. * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20031007.1
  128. * Add knetbsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #212344)
  129. * Don't suggest apt-get -f install to correct broken build-deps; broken
  130. installed packages are rarely the cause (Closes: #220858)
  131. * Avoid clobbering configure.in if sed fails
  132. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Wed, 24 Dec 2003 14:54:40 -0800
  133. apt (0.5.15) unstable; urgency=low
  134. * Spanish man pages, patch from Ruben Porras <nahoo82@telefonica.net>
  135. (Closes: #195444)
  136. - apt.es.8 wasn't included in the patch, but was referenced. Fetched
  137. version 1.3 from debian-doc cvs
  138. - Create doc/es/.cvsignore
  139. * Patch from Koblinger Egmont <egmont@uhulinux.hu> to fix
  140. pkgCache::PkgFileIterator::Label() to correctly refer to File->Label
  141. rather than File->Origin (Closes: #213311)
  142. * Add missing comma and space to German translation of "downgraded"
  143. (Closes: #213975)
  144. * Add missing comma in apt_preferences(5) (Closes: #215362)
  145. * Fix whitespace in French translation of "Yes, do as I say!", which
  146. made it tricky to type. Thanks to Sylvain Pasche
  147. <sylvain.pasche@switzerland.org> (Closes: #217152)
  148. * Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the installed package
  149. doesn't meet version requirements (Closes: #214736)
  150. * Fix version display for recommends (Closes: #219900)
  151. * Use isatty rather than ttyname for checking if stdin is a terminal.
  152. isatty has the advantage of not requiring /proc under Linux, and thus
  153. Closes: #221728
  154. * Correctly implement -n as a synonym for --names-only (Closes: #224515)
  155. * Update apt-cache(8)
  156. - Document --installed
  157. - --recursive applies to both depends and rdepends
  158. * Japanese translation of documentation from Kurasawa Nozomu <nabetaro@slug.jp>
  159. (Closes: #186235)
  160. * Clarify documentation of --no-upgrade in apt-get(8) (Closes: #219743)
  161. * Clean up and simplify some of the suggests/recommends display in apt-get
  162. * Use cvs update -d in debian/rules cvs-build rather than just update
  163. * Pass --preserve-envvar PATH --preserve-envvar CCACHE_DIR to debuild. apt
  164. takes a long time to build, and ccache helps
  165. -- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Sat, 20 Dec 2003 16:34:30 -0800
  166. apt (0.5.14) unstable; urgency=low
  167. * apt-get build-dep, when trying to skip over the remaining elements of
  168. an or-expression, would accidentally inherit the version requirements of a
  169. later item in the or-expression. Fixed it.
  170. * Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the first dependency in an
  171. or-expression is not available
  172. * Add a Debug::BuildDeps to generate some trace output
  173. * Help apt-get build-dep produce more useful error messages
  174. * Process build-dependencies in forward rather than reverse order
  175. * Error out if an installed package is too new for a << or <=
  176. build-dependency
