- switch {,Install-}Size to unsigned long long
* apt-pkg/depcache.cc:
- deal with long long, not with int to remove 2GB Limit (LP: #250909)
- show at the end of the install process a list of disappeared packages
* apt-pkg/packagemanager.h:
- export info about disappeared packages with GetDisappearedPackages()
* doc/apt-get.8.xml:
- do not say explicit target_release_{name,version,codename}, it should
be clear by itself and 'man' can break lines again (Closes: #566166)
* doc/apt.ent
- add entities for the current oldstable/stable/testing codenames
* doc/sources.list.5.xml:
- use stable-codename instead of stable in the examples (Closes: #531492)
* doc/apt_preferences.5.xml:
- adapt some examples here to use current codenames as well
* debian/rules:
- spell out some less known options to reduce manpage consulation-rate
- Use POSIX command substitution: $(<command sequence>)
- Remove EOL whitespace (Closes: #577804)

* doc/files.sgml:
- sync documentation with status quo, regarding files/directories in
use, extended_states and uri schemes.
* doc/cache.sgml:
- drop the file in favor of inplace documentation with doxygen
* 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/contrib/weakptr.h:
- add a class WeakPointable which allows one to register weak pointers to
an object which will be set to NULL when the object is deallocated.
* [ABI break] apt-pkg/acquire{-worker,-item,}.h:
- subclass pkgAcquire::{Worker,Item,ItemDesc} from WeakPointable.
* 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/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.
