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 (0.6.9-1~exp1) experimental; urgency=low


  * New upstream release.
    - See NEWS for full details.
    - Checking for errors on the command-line is much stricter,
      and many commands which would previously run will now
      exit with failure.
      (Closes: #576212, #590686, #282408, #434502)
      (LP: #919216, #585408)
    - An install run will no longer proceed if any
      package was unavailable or failed to download
      correctly, instead an error will be shown
      and exit with non-zero status (100).
      (Closes: #121313, #302784, #639789)
      (LP: #734737)
    - Some commands (search, versions, changelog, …) will exit
      with non-zero status (1, or some times 100) if there were
      no matches for the given arguments.
      (Closes: #675833, #497299)
    - Support downloading changelogs for packages on
      third-party sites by guessing the URI. (LP: #563155)
    - Properly process all -o command line options.
      (Closes: #587671)
    - Package arguments without an arch-qualifier
      will also consider foreign-arch packages, in
      order of preference.  (LP: #892074)
    - Use up-to-date changelog uri construction from apt-get
      using APT::Changelogs::Server.
    - Minor fixes to changelog downloading on the command-line.
      (Closes: #631464, #587775, #537393)
    - Do not group packages as tasks based on their name,
      rather, use their section.  (Closes: #679602)
    - Most errors are now displayed at the end of a command's
      output which makes them easier to spot when there is
      lots of output. (Closes: #430392)
  * Remove dependency on libept, now access debtags and Xapian
    directly.  (Closes: #501732, #504153, #677551)
  * Depend on libxapian instead.
  * Depend on newer version of libapt-pkg for architecture
    specification string support.
  * debian/rules:

  * Translation updates:
    - Polish (Closes: #678153)

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

• diff from 0.6.6-1 to 0.6.8-1 (1.2 MiB)

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

 -- Daniel Hartwig <email address hidden>  Thu, 03 May 2012 15:57:42 +0800

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.

aptitude (0.6.3-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream release.

    - aptitude no longer requires log4cxx; dropped that build dependency.

      I hope this will solve some of the random crashes, particularly
      on exit, that have been reported, but since they're unreproducible
      it's hard to know.

    - aptitude should build correctly against either the current ept
      release or the upcoming release (in experimental).
      (Closes: #581009)

  * Applied upstream patches to make the tests build when GTK+ is
    disabled.

  * Weakened the build dependency on libboost-dev, since this upstream
    release no longer requires 1.42.

  * aptitude now requries gtest and google-mock for its test suite;
    added build dependencies.

  * Add the compile flag -fno-gcse on s390; current g++ miscompiles some
    of aptitude's parse code without this. (Closes: #580085)

aptitude (0.6.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low


  * Tighten the dependency on libboost-dev to reflect the fact that
    aptitude needs at least 1.42.

    This caused actual build failures, so I'm surprised I didn't get bugs
    about it.  I don't know if this will be a permanent state of affairs;
    a configure test could take care of the one thing that's a serious
    problem (a published API reversed the order of its arguments (!)).

aptitude (0.6.1.5-3) unstable; urgency=low


  * Backport changes from head to increase how long the resolver is
    permitted to run.  Fixes problems with some large upgrades where
    the resolver would time out and fail to find a solution.  The new
    limit is much larger than any reasonable upgrade should require (it
    was increased by a factor of 100, from a value that was just barely
    too small).

aptitude (0.6.1.5-2) unstable; urgency=low


  * Ignore failures in the Boost unit test everywhere; it's just too flaky
    (Closes: #566780).

  * Backport patch from head to make sure the changelog progress bar is
    safely destroyed after it downloads (Closes: #566205).

  * Backport patch from head to fix crashes when changing the settings of
    the command-line resolver (Closes: #567242).

aptitude (0.6.1.5-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream release.

    - Make the resolver significantly less conservative, so major
      upgrades get computed better. (Closes: #565867)

    - Explicitly explain the implications of how the Linux command-line
      works in the aptitude manpage entry for "search" to reduce
      the confusion it causes. (Closes: #566003)

aptitude (0.6.1.4-2) unstable; urgency=low


  * Don't abort the build if the Boost unit test fails on kfreebsd; it
    looks like the Boost test framework is flaky there.  (Closes: #565736)

 -- Daniel Burrows <email address hidden>  Tue, 19 Jan 2010 09:34:50 -0800

aptitude (0.6.1.4-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream release.

    - Fixes for multiple compile bugs (see NEWS for details);
      Closes: #531687, #560517, #559980, #555120

  * Add ${misc:Depends} to each binary package.

  * Build-depend on elinks instead of html2text since that's what the
    upstream Makefiles use.

  * Add a NEWS entry warning about the syntax break with "full-upgrade" to
    make its behavior saner and consistent with safe-upgrade.

aptitude (0.5.9rc4-1) experimental; urgency=low


  * New upstream release.

    - Don't print a spurious warning if we get --no-gui when the GTK+
      frontend was compiled out. (Closes: #550727)

 -- Daniel Burrows <email address hidden>  Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:20:43 -0700

aptitude (0.5.9rc3-1) experimental; urgency=low


  * New upstream release.

    - On the command-line, package versions can be chosen by codename
      (Closes: #547707).

    - Switch back from dpkg-parsechangelog to parsechangelog; they both
      require an external dependency and parsechangelog is faster
      (Closes: #546280).

    - Don't crash if the Xapian database fails to load (Closes: #512998).

    - Recognize --no-gui in all builds, not just aptitude-gtk.
      (Closes: #546406)

    - Don't discard errors after dpkg fails (Closes: #548879, #548889).

    - Block SIGWINCH by default so nothing interferes with cwidget
      catching it. (Closes: #547212)

    - Mention build-dep in "aptitude help" (Closes: #547151).

    - Make --arch-only behave correctly (Closes: #547266).

    - Make the "hold" command in the GTK+ interface hold packages
      instead of deleting them (Closes: #549897).

    - Mention Get-Root-Command in the manual when it describes
      auto-switching-to-root. (Closes: #548657)

    - Fix the default value of Get-Root-Command in the manual so it
      matches the actual code. (Closes: #550057)

    - Translation updates:

      + Danish (Closes: #546497)
      + French
      + Portuguese
      + Russian (Closes: #535806)
      + Spanish

  * Remove the calls to update-apt-xapian-index in the postinsts
    (Closes: #550062).

aptitude (0.5.3.1-1) experimental; urgency=low


  * New upstream release.
  
    - Don't crash the GTK+ interface when displaying a solution that
      cancels the installation of a package. (Closes: #525898)
  
    - aptitude now build-depends on Boost.
  
    - Major performance improvements in the dependency solver.

    - Translation updates:

      + Asturian (Closes: #521558)

    - New Spanish translation of the user's manual.

aptitude (0.5.2-1) experimental; urgency=low


  * New upstream release.

    - Support for guaranteed ordering of solutions produced by the
    dependency resolver. (Closes: #514820, #514930, #524221, #473296)
  
    - The dependency resolver will continue searching for a short time
      after finding a solution, in case a better solution turns up.
      (Closes: #482825)
  
    - The GTK+ interface should no longer crash while trying to find
      dependency chains. (Closes: #514714)
  
    - aptitude is now more careful about automatically canceling the
      removal of an unused package, to avoid triggering a conflict with
      other packages (for instance, packages included in a dependency
      solution). (Closes: #522881, #524667)
  
    - The curses interface no longer warns users when they purge an
      already-removed Essental package. (Closes: #513472)
  
    - The curses interface no longer computes an excessive amount of
      dependency information every time a package is highlighted.
      (Closes: #516296)
  
    - Fixed incorrect formatting in some command-line error messages.
      (Closes: #516296, #514676)
  
    - Fix really stupid column wrapping in "aptitude why".
      (Closes: #516389)
  
    - Translation updates:

      + Asturian (Closes: #518981, #519693)
      + Danish (Closes: #512384)
      + German
      + Italian
      + Norwegian Bokmål (Closes: #510977)
      + Spanish (Closes: #517272)
      + Swedish (Closes: #511238, #514011)
  
  * Change the reportbug script to run in the C locale, so program output
    that's inserted doesn't get translated.
  
  * Change the description of aptitude-gtk to say that it has a GUI
    interface. (Closes: #514545, #521152)
  
  * Give aptitude-gtk a versioned dependency on aptitude. (Closes: #516527)
  
  * Include .desktop file contributed by Fabit Greffrath.  I know that
    using su-to-root is not ideal, but since aptitude-gtk can't be used to
    install / remove packages unless it's run as root, this is probably a
    good interim approach.  Eventually we'll hook up the code so that the
    GTK+ frontend can do what the curses frontend does (automagically
    become root and preserve selections). (Closes: #521255)

  * New build-deps: liblog4cxx10-dev, inkscape.
