36 apt (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
38 * Oh well, apt isn't going to make it into testing anytime soon due to
39 new glibc and gcc deps, so we might as well fix more bugs
40 * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
41 * Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)

43 only print the version (and not usage as well) (Closes: #203418)
44 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
45 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
46 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
47 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
48 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
49 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
50 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
51 written by a single write(2)
52 * Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore
53 * Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)
54 * Avoid segfault if a package name is specified which consists
55 entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')
57 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
58 suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation
59 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them
61 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
62 suggests/recommends which are Provided by a package which is already
63 installed (Closes: #200395)
64 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
65 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
66 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
67 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
68 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
69 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
71 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
73 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
74 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
76 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
77 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
78 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
79 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
81 - echo 3 > debian/compat
82 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
83 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
84 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
85 password (Closes: #199425)
86 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
87 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
88 with our SGML man pages
89 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
90 fragments are properly substituted

94 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
96 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
97 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
98 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
99 decidedly better than 0.5.4.

105 configuration item (Closes: #168453)
106 * Improve build-depends handling of virtual packages even further, so that
107 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
108 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
109 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)
110 * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20030717.1

114 * Support TMPDIR in apt-extracttemplates (Closes: #191656)
115 * Fix ru.po to use a capital letter for the translation of 'Y' so that
116 YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
118 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
119 * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
120 lots of stuff (perhaps an infinite amount) to read (Closes: #192228)

129 archives and not changing the system (Closes: #190862)
