14 * Updated Polish po file from Marcin Owsiany <porridge@debian.org>
19 apt (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
21 * Oh well, apt isn't going to make it into testing anytime soon due to
22 new glibc and gcc deps, so we might as well fix more bugs
23 * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
24 * Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)
25 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to have --version
26 only print the version (and not usage as well) (Closes: #203418)
27 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
28 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
29 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
30 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
31 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
32 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
33 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
34 written by a single write(2)

42 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them
44 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
45 suggests/recommends which are Provided by a package which is already
46 installed (Closes: #200395)
47 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
48 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
49 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
50 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
51 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
52 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
54 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
56 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
57 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
59 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
60 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
61 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
62 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
64 - echo 3 > debian/compat
65 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
66 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
67 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
68 password (Closes: #199425)
69 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
70 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
71 with our SGML man pages
72 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
73 fragments are properly substituted

77 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
79 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
80 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and

99 YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
101 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
102 * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
103 lots of stuff (perhaps an infinite amount) to read (Closes: #192228)
