504 apt (0.5.16) unstable; urgency=low
506 * po/de.po update from Michael Karcher <karcher@physik.fu-berlin.de>
508 * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20031007.1
509 * Add knetbsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #212344)
510 * Don't suggest apt-get -f install to correct broken build-deps; broken
511 installed packages are rarely the cause (Closes: #220858)
512 * Avoid clobbering configure.in if sed fails

516 apt (0.5.15) unstable; urgency=low
518 * Spanish man pages, patch from Ruben Porras <nahoo82@telefonica.net>
520 - apt.es.8 wasn't included in the patch, but was referenced. Fetched
521 version 1.3 from debian-doc cvs
522 - Create doc/es/.cvsignore
523 * Patch from Koblinger Egmont <egmont@uhulinux.hu> to fix
524 pkgCache::PkgFileIterator::Label() to correctly refer to File->Label
525 rather than File->Origin (Closes: #213311)
526 * Add missing comma and space to German translation of "downgraded"
528 * Add missing comma in apt_preferences(5) (Closes: #215362)
529 * Fix whitespace in French translation of "Yes, do as I say!", which
530 made it tricky to type. Thanks to Sylvain Pasche
531 <sylvain.pasche@switzerland.org> (Closes: #217152)
532 * Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the installed package
533 doesn't meet version requirements (Closes: #214736)
534 * Fix version display for recommends (Closes: #219900)
535 * Use isatty rather than ttyname for checking if stdin is a terminal.
536 isatty has the advantage of not requiring /proc under Linux, and thus
538 * Correctly implement -n as a synonym for --names-only (Closes: #224515)
539 * Update apt-cache(8)
540 - Document --installed
541 - --recursive applies to both depends and rdepends
542 * Japanese translation of documentation from Kurasawa Nozomu <nabetaro@slug.jp>
544 * Clarify documentation of --no-upgrade in apt-get(8) (Closes: #219743)
545 * Clean up and simplify some of the suggests/recommends display in apt-get
546 * Use cvs update -d in debian/rules cvs-build rather than just update
547 * Pass --preserve-envvar PATH --preserve-envvar CCACHE_DIR to debuild. apt
548 takes a long time to build, and ccache helps

552 apt (0.5.14) unstable; urgency=low
554 * apt-get build-dep, when trying to skip over the remaining elements of
555 an or-expression, would accidentally inherit the version requirements of a
556 later item in the or-expression. Fixed it.
557 * Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the first dependency in an
558 or-expression is not available
559 * Add a Debug::BuildDeps to generate some trace output
560 * Help apt-get build-dep produce more useful error messages
561 * Process build-dependencies in forward rather than reverse order
562 * Error out if an installed package is too new for a << or <=
564 * apt-get build-dep should now be able to handle almost any package with
565 correct build-depends. The primary exception is build-dependencies on
566 virtual packages with more than one provider, and these are
567 discouraged for automated processing (but still common,

572 apt (0.5.13) unstable; urgency=medium
574 * Document configuration file comment syntax in apt.conf(5)
576 * s/removed/installed/ in a comment in apt-get.cc
577 * Move comment for ListParser::ParseDepends into the right place
578 * Don't preserve ownership when copying config.guess and config.sub.
579 This broke builds where the clean target was run with different
580 privileges than the rest of the build (i.e., root) (Closes: #212183)
581 * On second thought, don't copy config.guess and config.sub at all. I'd
582 rather they always match what is in CVS.

593 apt (0.5.11) unstable; urgency=low
595 * Updated pt_BR translations from Andre Luis Lopes <andrelop@debian.org>
597 * In apt.conf(5), give the fully qualified name of Dir::Bin::Methods,
598 rather than just "methods"
599 * Add new nb and nn translations from Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>
600 * Clean up reportbug script a bit, and extend it to distinguish between a
601 configuration file not existing and the user declining to submit it with
603 * Add #include <langinfo.h> to cmdline/apt-get.cc. This apparently gets
604 pulled in by something else with recent g++ and/or glibc, but is
605 required when building on, e.g., stable
606 * Patch from Koblinger Egmont <egmont@uhulinux.hu> to fix version
607 comparisons with '~' (Closes: #205960)
608 * Disable Russian translation until someone can review it

613 apt (0.5.10) unstable; urgency=low
615 * Correct the section in apt_preferences(5) on interpreting priorities
616 to show that zero is not a valid priority, and print a warning if such
617 a pin is encountered in the preferences file (Closes: #204971)
618 * Regenerate French man pages from sgml source (Closes: #205886)
619 * Get self-tests compiling again, updated for latest library API
621 * Add version comparison tests for #194327 and #205960
622 * Fix error message in version test to output versions in the order in
623 which they were compared when the reverse comparison fails
624 * Reference the source package bug page rather than the one for the
625 binary package 'apt' in the man pages (Closes: #205290)
626 * Updated Polish po file from Marcin Owsiany <porridge@debian.org>
628 * Mention some of the available frontends in apt-get(8) (Closes: #205829)
629 * Add apt-config to SEE ALSO section of apt-get (Closes: #205036)
630 * Add missing "lang" attributes to refentry tags in French man pages
631 (apt-cdrom, apt-extracttemplates, apt-sortpkgs)
632 * Change upgraded/newly installed/not fully installed or removed
633 messages to be consistent and somewhat shorter (some translations
634 exceeded 80 characters even in the simplest case)
635 * Make APT::Get::Show-Upgraded (aka apt-get -u) default to true.
636 * Updates to Dutch translation from Bart Cornelis <cobaco@linux.be>

641 apt (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
643 * Oh well, apt isn't going to make it into testing anytime soon due to
644 new glibc and gcc deps, so we might as well fix more bugs
645 * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
646 * Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)
647 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to have --version
648 only print the version (and not usage as well) (Closes: #203418)
649 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
650 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
651 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
652 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
653 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
654 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
655 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
656 written by a single write(2)
657 * Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore
658 * Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)
659 * Avoid segfault if a package name is specified which consists
660 entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')
662 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
663 suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation
664 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them
666 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
667 suggests/recommends which are Provided by a package which is already
668 installed (Closes: #200395)
669 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
670 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
671 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
672 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
673 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
674 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
676 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
678 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
679 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
681 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
682 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
683 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
684 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
686 - echo 3 > debian/compat
687 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
688 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
689 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
690 password (Closes: #199425)
691 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
692 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
693 with our SGML man pages
694 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
695 fragments are properly substituted

699 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
701 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
702 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
703 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
704 decidedly better than 0.5.4.
705 * Clarify the meaning of the only-source option in apt-get(8)
707 * Updated French man pages from Philippe Batailler
708 <philippe.batailler@free.fr> (Closes: #182194)

710 configuration item (Closes: #168453)
711 * Improve build-depends handling of virtual packages even further, so that
712 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
713 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
714 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)

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