* debian/rules:
- spell out some less known options to reduce manpage consulation-rate
- Use POSIX command substitution: $(<command sequence>)
- Remove EOL whitespace (Closes: #577804)
* methods/rred.cc:
- use the patchfile modification time instead of the one from the
"old" file - thanks to Philipp Weis for noticing! (Closes: #571541)
* apt-pkg/pkgcache.h:
- enhance the Groups ABI by providing a ID as the other structs does
- check also the size of the Group struct then checking for the others

* apt-pkg/indexfile.cc:
- If no "_" is found in the language code, try to find a "."
This is required for languages like Esperanto that have no
county associated with them (LP: #560956)
Thanks to "Aisano" for the fix
rewrite the pseudo package reinstaller to be more intelligent
in his package choices
The previous implementation tried to install the package for arch A and
if this fails B, C and so on. This results in wrong architecture choices
for packages which depend on other pseudo packages, so he will now try
to install the dependencies first before trying the package itself and
only if this fails he tries the next architecture.
* cmdline/apt-cache.cc:
- align Installed and Candidate Version in policy so they can be compared
easier, thanks Ralf Gesellensetter for the pointer! (Closes: #578657)
* apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
- remove Chroot-Directory from files passed to install commands.
Thanks to Kel Modderman for report & patch! (Closes: #577226)
* apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc:
- Acquire::ForceHash to force method for expected hash
- display MD5Sum in --print-uris if not forced to use another method
instead of displaying the strongest available (Closes: #576420)
* apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc:
- add a parent-guarded "mkdir -p" as CreateDirectory()
* apt-pkg/acquire.{cc,h}:
- add a delayed constructor with Setup() for success reporting
- check for and create directories in Setup if needed instead of
error out unfriendly in the Constructor (Closes: #523920, #525783)
- optional handle a lock file in Setup()
* cmdline/apt-get.cc:
- remove the lock file handling and let Acquire take care of it instead
Initialize history_out always with NULL so apt will not segfault later
in the event of a failure in OpenLog() (which will happen if called with
Debug::NoLocking as user)
Userinfo is urlencoded in URIs (RFC 3986)
Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Lallement for spotting and fixing it!
* apt-pkg/contrib/strutl.cc:
- always escape '%' (LP: #130289) (Closes: #500560)
- unescape '%' sequence only if followed by 2 hex digit
- username/password are urlencoded in proxy string (RFC 3986)
replace every call to toupper with one to our own tolower_ascii
This sounds like a premature optimization and since Mr. Knuth we all
know that they are the root of all evil - but, and here it starts to be
interesting: As the tolower_ascii method is by far the most called
method we have (~60 Mio. times) and as we compare only strings containing
ascii characters (package names, configuration options) using our own
method reduces execution time of APT by 4% plus it avoids that the
locale settings can influence us.
Switch the TranslationWriter to use MultiCompress to be able to generate
the compressed files as we want them and to prevent the file to be
replaced without a reason which could save us from steady redownloads
of a file with the same content.
Inclusion of Long Descriptions in the Packages files can be set now
also in TreeDefaults and Tree to support generation of archives which
should support and which shouldn't support splitted out Translation-en
files in the same run.
* ftparchive/writer.cc:
- write LongDescriptions if they shouldn't be included in Packages
file into i18n/Translation-en by default.
It is ensured that each package+description is listed only ones in the
Translation file even if we generate multiple Packages file in one run.
The file is only generated in "generate" - the simple file commands
can't create it by now. Also, the LongDescription is currently a
global setting, so generating archives with and without LongDescriptions
in the Packages file in the same run are currently not possible.
Add with pkgCacheGen::Essential a way to control which packages get the
essential flag:
* native is the default and will only mark packages of the main arch
* all will mark all packages which have these flag in Packages
* none will obviously do the opposite
* installed will only mark packages which are installed as essential,
so it will behave in the same way as dpkg does it.
It is mostly needed sometimes for debugging but some users with special
needs might like to switch the mode as well under the expense to be
on their own…
merge MultiArch-ABI. We don't support MultiArch yet (as most other tools),
but we support the usage of the new ABI so libapt users
can start to prepare for MultiArch (Closes: #536029)
Readd the FindPkg() method implementation used in the singleArch days to
use it as a fallback if multiarch is not enabled. The effect is barly
noticeable but SingleArch is the realworld scenario.
Fix a segfault in the version merger introduced in the previous patch:
As we skip now versions with a different hash we will have situations
in which the version is equal but the hash different causing to check
the next version, but as this version was the last one the version
iterator is invalid then the merger wants to add further information.
* apt-pkg/pkgcachegen.cc:
- merge versions correctly even if multiple different versions
with the same version number are available.
Thanks to Magnus Holmgren for the patch! (Closes: #351056)
merge with debian-sid, update-po for manpages and fix a few more
typos in doc/po/es.po to generate the manpages properly.
[ Christian Perrier ]
* German translation update. Closes: #571037
* Spanish manpages translation update. Closes: #573293
[ Julian Andres Klode ]
* cmdline/apt-mark:
- Use the new python-apt API (and conflict with python-apt << 0.7.93.2).
* apt-inst/contrib/arfile.h:
- Add public ARArchive::Members() which returns the list of members.
* debian/rules:
- Fix the libraries name to be e.g. libapt-pkg4.9 instead of
libapt-pkg-4.9.
Ensure that for each all package at least one pseudopackage is installed
Removing pseudo packages is cool so far, the problem is that we will
remove with the not required removing so many pseudo packages that
we will have after the remove a few packages with NO installed pseudo
package (e.g. metapackages are good candidates) - so we will walk over
all these packages and try to find a pseudopackage for this package
we can install without breaking something.
* apt-pkg/deb/debversion.cc:
- consider absent of debian revision equivalent to 0 (Closes: #573592)
This moves the existing testcase for version comparison to "my" directory,
adds a few more tests (e.g. the tests used in cupt) and rewrites the
testcases runner: The runner does now call dpkg --compare-versions
to check what dpkg thinks about the comparison - all done in less code ;)
* apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
- if available store the Commandline in the history
* apt-pkg/contrib/cmndline.cc:
- save Commandline in Commandline::AsString for logging
* cmdline/apt-get.cc:
- add a --only-upgrade flag to install command (Closes: #572259)
That is NOT what is requested in e.g. #74067 - this is a very simple
flag which behaves orthogonal to --no-upgrade not a full-blown
upgrade option for a single package instead of the whole package set.
