6 * Regenerate French man pages from sgml source (Closes: #205886)
7 * Get self-tests compiling again, updated for latest library API

22 exceeded 80 characters even in the simplest case)
23 * Make APT::Get::Show-Upgraded (aka apt-get -u) default to true.
27 apt (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
29 * Oh well, apt isn't going to make it into testing anytime soon due to
30 new glibc and gcc deps, so we might as well fix more bugs
31 * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
32 * Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)
33 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to have --version
34 only print the version (and not usage as well) (Closes: #203418)
35 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
36 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
37 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
38 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
39 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
40 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
41 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
42 written by a single write(2)
43 * Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore
44 * Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)
45 * Avoid segfault if a package name is specified which consists
46 entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')
48 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
49 suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation
50 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them
52 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
53 suggests/recommends which are Provided by a package which is already
54 installed (Closes: #200395)
55 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
56 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
57 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
58 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
59 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
60 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
62 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
64 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
65 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
67 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
68 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
69 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
70 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
72 - echo 3 > debian/compat
73 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
74 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
75 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
76 password (Closes: #199425)
77 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
78 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
79 with our SGML man pages
80 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
81 fragments are properly substituted

85 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
87 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
88 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
89 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's

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