493 apt (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
495 * Oh well, apt isn't going to make it into testing anytime soon due to
496 new glibc and gcc deps, so we might as well fix more bugs
497 * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
498 * Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)
499 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to have --version
500 only print the version (and not usage as well) (Closes: #203418)
501 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
502 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
503 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
504 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
505 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
506 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
507 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
508 written by a single write(2)
509 * Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore
510 * Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)
511 * Avoid segfault if a package name is specified which consists
512 entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')
514 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
515 suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation
516 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them
518 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
519 suggests/recommends which are Provided by a package which is already
520 installed (Closes: #200395)
521 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
522 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
523 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
524 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
525 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
526 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
528 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
530 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
531 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
533 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
534 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
535 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
536 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
538 - echo 3 > debian/compat
539 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
540 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
541 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
542 password (Closes: #199425)
543 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
544 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
545 with our SGML man pages
546 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
547 fragments are properly substituted

551 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
553 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
554 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
555 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
556 decidedly better than 0.5.4.
557 * Clarify the meaning of the only-source option in apt-get(8)
559 * Updated French man pages from Philippe Batailler

562 configuration item (Closes: #168453)
563 * Improve build-depends handling of virtual packages even further, so that
564 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
565 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
566 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)
567 * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20030717.1
568 * Tweak SGML in apt-extracttemplates.1.sgml so that literal '>' doesn't end
570 * Document SrcDirectory in apt-ftparchive.1.sgml (Closes: #156370)
571 * Support TMPDIR in apt-extracttemplates (Closes: #191656)
572 * Fix ru.po to use a capital letter for the translation of 'Y' so that
573 YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
575 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
576 * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
577 lots of stuff (perhaps an infinite amount) to read (Closes: #192228)
