200 (Closes: #234685)
201 * Implement an ugly workaround for the 10000-character limit on the
202 Binaries field in debSrcRecordParser, until such time as some things
203 can be converted over to use STL data types (ABI change) (Closes: #236688)

217 <chaisave@263.net> (Closes: #234186)
218 * Change default for Acquire::http::max-age to 0 to prevent index files
219 being out of sync with each other (important with Release.gpg)
220 * Add an assert() to make sure that we don't overflow a fixed-size
221 buffer in the very unlikely event that someone adds 10 packaging
222 systems to apt (Closes: #233678)
223 * Fix whitespace in French translation of "Yes, do as I say!", which

228 * Point to Build-Depends in COMPILING (Closes: #233669)
229 * Make debian/rules a bit more consistent in a few places.
230 Specifically, always use -p$@ rather than an explicit package name,
231 and always specify it first, and use dh_shlibdeps -l uniformly rather
232 than sometimes changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH directly
233 * Document unit for Cache-Limit (bytes) (Closes: #234737)
234 * Don't translate "Yes, do as I say!" in Chinese locales, because it can
235 be difficult to input (Closes: #234886)

353 isatty has the advantage of not requiring /proc under Linux, and thus
354 Closes: #221728

371 * apt-get build-dep, when trying to skip over the remaining elements of
372 an or-expression, would accidentally inherit the version requirements of a
373 later item in the or-expression. Fixed it.

378 * Process build-dependencies in forward rather than reverse order
379 * Error out if an installed package is too new for a << or <=
380 build-dependency
381 * apt-get build-dep should now be able to handle almost any package with
382 correct build-depends. The primary exception is build-dependencies on
383 virtual packages with more than one provider, and these are
384 discouraged for automated processing (but still common,

467 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
468 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
469 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
470 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)

488 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
489 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
490 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
491 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)

496 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
497 (Closes: #194282)
498 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
499 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
500 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
501 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
502 will add them
503 - echo 3 > debian/compat
504 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
505 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
506 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
507 password (Closes: #199425)
508 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
509 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
510 with our SGML man pages
511 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst

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