Change logs for aptitude source package in Wheezy

  • aptitude (0.6.8.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * [all]: Support for matching architectures using specification
               strings and wildcards (for example, "linux-any").  See
               Debian Policy section 11.1 "Architecture specification
               strings" for more details.
      * [cmdline]: Fix typo which prevented installing tasks using the
                   apt-get compatible syntax ("aptitude install
                   gnome-desktop^").
      * [cmdline]: Do not assume that APT::Default-Release always provides
                   the candidate version of a package, instead use the
                   policy defined by apt_preferences(5).
                   (Closes: #587775, #631464, #686316)
      * [all]: Download changelogs from APT::Changelogs::Server instead
               of a fixed location, and replace very ancient and disused
               option for Aptitude::Changelog-URL-Template.
               (Closes: #687239)
      * Documentation:
        - Update for default value of APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant
          which is "true" since apt 0.8.15.3. (Closes: #685310)
        - Correctly reference APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant and
          SuggestsImportant which do not contain any hyphens.
          (Closes: #579071)
      * Translation updates:
        - Czech (Closes: #681693)
        - French (Closes: #680040, #685084)
        - Polish (Closes: #678153)
        - Russian (Closes: #686016)
        - Spanish (Closes: #686752)
      * debian/control: Bump Build-Depends on libapt-pkg-dev to (>= 0.9.7) for
        architecture specification string support.

  • aptitude (0.6.8.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Use xz compression for all binaries. (Closes: #687294)
    
     -- Daniel Hartwig <email address hidden>  Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:51:07 +0800
  • aptitude (0.6.8.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Multi-arch update for the problem resolver:
        - handle conflicts without removing all foreign-arch
          packages (Closes: #672340) (LP: #831768)
        - correctly recognise dependencies solved by Multi-Arch:
          foreign packages (LP: #968412)
      * [curses]: Use dpkg package names when calling dpkg
                  (Closes: #680333)
      * Add (temporary) helpers for interacting with dpkg.

  • aptitude (0.6.8-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      
      * Fix build with g++ 4.7
        Thanks Adrian Lang for the patch (Closes: #672335)
      * New binary packages:
        - aptitude-doc-it: Italian documentation (Closes: #674664)
        - aptitude-common: data files and translations
      * debian/rules:
        - use dh (debhelper command sequencer)
      * Require libapt-pkg 0.9.3 to avoid "Method http has died
        unexpectedly" (Closes: #669322)
      * Removed preinst script, the one transition it handled is
        over ten years old.
      * New upstream release.
        - Update to tasks support: task packages, multi-arch, syntax
    
          Task packages (introduced with tasksel 3.0) are
          meta-packages which define the dependencies of tasks.  The
          packages themselves have always worked but the 'tasks'
          grouping policy and '?task' search term did not support
          them.  This update corrects for this.
    
          As a result of this change to tasksel all Debian tasks now
          function exactly like meta-packages. (Closes: #382631)
    
          The syntax for installing tasks from the command line has
          been updated.  It now supports specifying an arch and
          requires the same syntax as apt-utils ('^' must be the last
          part of the name).  Examples:
    
            # aptitude install gnome-desktop^
            # aptitude install ssh-server^:armel
    
          This avoids ambiguity that may arise when a task and
          package have the same name.
        - Changelog downloading is restored
          (Closes: #669569, LP: #824708)
        - Exit with non-zero status when a package run is
          aborted. (Closes: #293008)
        - Restore candidate version on undo, keep
          (Closes: #529403)
        - Adjust default widths of localized columns:
          broken_count, downloadsize (Closes: #674045)
        - Update package views after 'Cancel pending actions'
          (Closes: #595753)
        - Fix minor errors in documentation. Thanks to Beatrice Torracca
          (Closes: #674675)
        - Fix groff warning in manpage (Closes: #675085)
        - Translation updates:
          + French (Closes: #673827, LP: #642840)
          + German (Closes: #672467, #668875)
          + Simplified Chinese

  • aptitude (0.6.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Fix FTBFS in sid: include build of gtest when building gmock
       (Closes: #670403, #671439)
    
      * New upstream release.
    
        - Avoid dpkg and infinite loop in download-only mode
          (Closes: #629266, LP: #975793)
    
        - Check for apt_init errors in cmdline_download.cc (Closes: #670379)
    
        - Downloading/installing now locks /var/cache/apt/archives
          (Closes: #370381)
    
        - Actually use aptitude::Logging::Levels (Closes: #654344)
    
        - No longer use ListUpdate (from libapt-pkg) to update package lists.
          Instead, restore the previous code and update it to include the
          semantics from ListUpdate which were missing.
    
          ListUpdate was too coarse to suit download_update_manager properly
          even though it more-or-less worked.
    
        - Do not call debtags on list update.  This was a rather unsightly
          kludge is better suited as a script for APT::Update::Post-Invoke.
    
        - Use arch-qualified names in 'Provided by' for virtual packages
          (LP: #972847)
    
        - Preview screen ignores Pkg-Display-Limit
    
          Previously it would apply that limit if UI::Preview-Limit was not
          set.  This was causing confusion and it is more useful to have these
          as two clearly distinct settings. (LP: #381507)
    
        - New translations:
    
          + Croatian (Closes: #667934)
    
      * Use export to really enable build hardening, etc.
    
      * debian/control: remove traces of aptitude-gtk:
        - aptitude: description
        - aptitude-dbg: build-depends

  • aptitude (0.6.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * New upstream release.
    
        - Basic multi-arch support.  See NEWS for details.
    
          + add search terms ?architecture and ?multiarch;
          + add grouping policy 'architecture';
    
          (Closes: #659079, #661744)
          (LP: #454941, #845136, #884945, #904486)
    
        - Apply patch from Ubuntu to fix build -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 errors.
          Thanks to Colin Watson and Michael Vogt (Closes: #497539)
    
        - Remove GTK+ menu entry for minesweeper. (Closes: #552522)
    
        - Hack to prevent debug messages dumping to the screen (Closes: #651748)
    
        - Fix '?action(upgrade)' and others (were finding kept
          packages instead).  Thanks to 'Rogier' for the patch (Closes: #603862)
    
        - List update errors are reported. (Closes: #451137)
    
        - List update now runs APT::Update hooks. (Closes: #476399)
    
        - Actually silence progress messages with '-q2'.  (Closes: #141719)
    
        - Fix various locking issues:
    
          + '[auto]clean' locks /var/cache/apt/archives;
          + 'update' locks /var/lib/apt/lists; (Closes: #653479)
    
        - Fix 'priority' cost level in resolver.  The values should
          have been negated but were not.  Thanks to Modestas Vainius
          for this one. (Closes: #608786)
    
        - Fix some help and prompt strings which wrongly included
          localized names for commands such as 'why'.  (Closes: #486615)
    
        - Change ordering of top-level sections to match the order
          in aptitude::Sections::Top-Sections.  The default order
          is now: main, contrib, non-free.  (Closes: #181997)
    
        - Improve error messages when parsing grouping policies to
          use the user-visible names, rather than the internal
          names.  (Closes: #231595)
    
        - Change default width of %D, %I, %o, and %Z.  Thanks to
          Michał Kułach for this one. (Closes: #599209) (LP: #741417)
    
        - Change default width of %V, %v to 14.  This greatly increases the
          number of versions which will display completely. (Closes: #624542)
    
        - 'versions' now groups it's results by 'package:arch' instead of
          'package'.
    
        - Cleared up grouping, sorting policy error messages.
          (Closes: #231595)
    
        - Minor correction to the user's manual. (Closes: #365485)
    
        - Translation updates:
    
          + Brazilian Portuguese (Closes: #483964)
          + Hungarian (Closes: #592468)
          + Polish (Closes: #659803)
          + Russian (Closes: #662624)
    
      * No longer supplying aptitude-gtk.  It can still be compiled from the
        source but this was an experimental interface that was never finished.
    
        Anyone interested in continuing either of the GTK+ or Qt interfaces
        should contact the mailing list:
    
        http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
    
        - Dropped Build-Depends: needed only for aptitude-gtk.
    
      * Enable build hardening.
    
      * Bump debian/compat to level 9, use dh_auto_configure.
    
        - Adds cross build support. (Closes: #465076)
    
      * Add empty build-arch, build-indep targets. (Closes: #648490)
    
      * Extend aptitude-doc-* packages to include a more complete description
        of the program.
    
      * Update README.Debian with details of Git repository.
    
      * Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck to disable tests.
