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

28 only print the version (and not usage as well) (Closes: #203418)
29 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
30 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
31 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
32 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
33 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
34 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
35 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
36 written by a single write(2)

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

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

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