195 * Implement an ugly workaround for the 10000-character limit on the
196 Binaries field in debSrcRecordParser, until such time as some things
197 can be converted over to use STL data types (ABI change) (Closes: #236688)
198 * Increase default tagfile buffer from 32k to 128k; this arbitrary limit

213 being out of sync with each other (important with Release.gpg)
214 * Add an assert() to make sure that we don't overflow a fixed-size
215 buffer in the very unlikely event that someone adds 10 packaging
216 systems to apt (Closes: #233678)
217 * Fix whitespace in French translation of "Yes, do as I say!", which

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

365 * apt-get build-dep, when trying to skip over the remaining elements of
366 an or-expression, would accidentally inherit the version requirements of a
367 later item in the or-expression. Fixed it.
368 * Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the first dependency in an
369 or-expression is not available
370 * Add a Debug::BuildDeps to generate some trace output
371 * Help apt-get build-dep produce more useful error messages
372 * Process build-dependencies in forward rather than reverse order
373 * Error out if an installed package is too new for a << or <=
374 build-dependency
375 * apt-get build-dep should now be able to handle almost any package with
376 correct build-depends. The primary exception is build-dependencies on
377 virtual packages with more than one provider, and these are
378 discouraged for automated processing (but still common,
379 unfortunately).

393 rather they always match what is in CVS.

462 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
463 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
464 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)

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

493 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
494 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
495 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
496 will add them
497 - echo 3 > debian/compat
498 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
499 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
500 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
501 password (Closes: #199425)
502 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
503 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
504 with our SGML man pages
505 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst

523 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
524 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
