1038 apt (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
1040 * Oh well, apt isn't going to make it into testing anytime soon due to
1041 new glibc and gcc deps, so we might as well fix more bugs
1042 * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
1043 * Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)
1044 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to have --version
1045 only print the version (and not usage as well) (Closes: #203418)
1046 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
1047 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
1048 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
1049 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
1050 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
1051 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
1052 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
1053 written by a single write(2)
1054 * Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore
1055 * Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)
1056 * Avoid segfault if a package name is specified which consists
1057 entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')
1059 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
1060 suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation
1061 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them
1063 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
1064 suggests/recommends which are Provided by a package which is already
1065 installed (Closes: #200395)
1066 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
1067 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
1068 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
1069 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
1070 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
1071 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
1073 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
1075 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
1076 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
1078 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
1079 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
1080 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
1081 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
1083 - echo 3 > debian/compat
1084 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
1085 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
1086 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
1087 password (Closes: #199425)
1088 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
1089 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
1090 with our SGML man pages
1091 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
1092 fragments are properly substituted

1096 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
1098 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
1099 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
1100 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
1101 decidedly better than 0.5.4.

1109 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
1110 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
1111 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)

1116 * Support TMPDIR in apt-extracttemplates (Closes: #191656)
1117 * Fix ru.po to use a capital letter for the translation of 'Y' so that
1118 YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
1119 to have this problem
1120 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
1121 * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
1122 lots of stuff (perhaps an infinite amount) to read (Closes: #192228)
