* experimental option offline_mode to simply avoid outgoing connections and
deliver cached data only
* added a HUP handler to reload the config
* fixed a minor bug in the header parser, found with clients using LWP agent

Burton (closes: #348178)
* additional data size checks when returning cached versions to detect
possible file system corruption.

stored additionaly to be available even if is not extracted from Packages
files first. Does not cover initial download errors but local corruption.
* code refactoring, ensured ownership change when running cleanup
* it's called libdbd-sqlite3-perl! (fixed name of the package in Suggests)
-- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org> Sun, 22 Jan 2006 02:21:31 +0100

* spelling error fixes in apt-cacher.1 (closes: #337545)
* increased the treshhold of unparsed request lines to stop throwing "Go
away" messages
* disabled the child reaper code (caused races). This restores the old
behaviour of downloads not stopping on client exit.
* moved setgid code before setuid code to make it actually work, also using
standard perl variables instead of POSIX module (closes: #341348)
* also removing /var/log/apt-cacher when purging (closes: #326050)
* a bit code refactoring
* more carefull forwarding of header fields on error reports. Solves a "bug"
which resulted in apt-get hanging forever or becoming confused because it
assumed a premature connection termination. Now it does keep the
connection open while forwarding error status headers.
* replace all underscores with / when reconstructing the URL which is not
available if downloaded by an old apt-cacher version (closes: #345878)
* updates to the manpage (FAQ, mistakes, more details) and
apt-cacher-cleanup.pl help message (closes: #345286)

apt-cacher (1.0.11) unstable; urgency=medium
* the REMOTE_ADDR interpretation had unexpected side effects, script was
executed in paranoid CGI mode when runned from apt-cacher-cleanup.pl, so
CGI script has finally been separated: apt-cacher.pl as invoked by httpd
sets clear flags and then executs the normal code (installed in a separate
file now)

configuration data from apt-proxy and assimilate its cache
* config file parser improvements: speedup and multiline support

supressing of it in certain situations (closes: #322299)
* apt-cacher-cleanup now removes orphaned .notify files (after few days)
which could be left behind by the some download processes in version 1.0.2
or after killing fetcher processes, system crashes, etc.
* proper printing of usage info if the path has been omited
* new option to print text with HTTP 410 messages, eg. to advise users to
change sources.list to use apt-cacher in server mode

apt-cacher (0.9.12) experimental; urgency=low
* parts of design reverted back to the old method:

apt-cacher (0.9.4) unstable; urgency=high
* removed /var/{log,cache}/apt-cacher from debian/dirs to manage them
without interferences via postinst/prerm, calling

before and came to daylight after the rewrite of the old (ownership
overriding) code in 0.9.
* fixed the size calculation in the access.log (closes: #311001)

README.txt in the directory where dpkg has been started
* added more visible advisories to run apt-cacher-format-transition.pl in
NEWS.Debian and README.Debian
* commented out the allowed_locations example in apt-cacher.conf, it should

config behaviour used before the IPv6 patch)
* "nice mode" in cleanup, refreshing the index files first and then
continuing with low priority

configuration which most likely also fixes the last
issue in another bug report (closes: #307579, #264147)

apt-cacher (0.9) experimental; urgency=medium
* New main maintainer (Jonathan & me -> Uploaders:)
* new format, separates package contents and HTTP headers
(closes: #274975). The new script apt-cacher-format-transition.pl converts
the old cached files to the new version and moves the parts to the new
locations
* used syswrite/sysread where appropriate to minimise effects of Perl
buffering in combination with Apache2 (avoids apt-get's long
"waiting for headers" phase in most cases, still appears from time to
time, but not soo often.
* uses modification times of index files if configured, this should avoid
desynchronisation of some files (closes: #180544). Used curl to get the
HTTP head for that (wget was just too stupid with its timestamping
abilities). By the way rewrote the fetcher code to use curl only, removing
the wget depedency (closes: #277279)
* rewrote large parts of unsafe code, worked around race conditions
(closes:#251468), fixed some crap like inserting of status code into
half-downloaded files (closes: #251660), really detached the fetcher
thread from the reader when the file is initialy beeing downloaded, and
made error code passing more reliable
* removed another useless fork (thread-over-thread-over-thread, jeez...)
* removed the CHLD handler that fscked up the return codes that I needed
from close (became cruft anways since I dropped the unneccessary forking)
It now also fails sanely on mirror failure conditions (closes:#203123)
* allowing alternative URL scheme (with apt-cacher?/server/...) which does
work with alternative http daemons and added alternative dependency on boa
and httpd-cgi (closes: #282599, #273776)
* applied patch from Peter Denison <bug-reports@marshadder.uklinux.net> for
more flexible names of index files (closes: #267680)
* IPv6 & filtering patch by Darren Salt (closes: #294617, #278070)
* added my patch to do basic URL filtering (closes: #307151)
* README.Debian update to the new stuff, removed cruft in debian/debian-old
* rewrote the import script, made it work more efficient and work around the
epoch numbers in the file names from apt's cache (closes: #278799)
* rewrote and simplified the cleanup script (closes: #299404), also added
support for source files and bzip2 compression (closes: #261273, #305956).
Also made it refresh the index files rather then relying on possibly
outdated data (or missing data because of tiffani/apt-dupdate usage) and
really lock them while reading to not kill the cached data because the
file is beeing downloaded just while the cleanup process runs
* changed install.pl to copy the ownership of new files/directories and only
doing so when they are new, rather than resetting them to www-data, and on
every package upgrade
* added my apt-precache.pl script for people that may need this toy
(closes: #305175). It still needs some refinement to control the
expiration of the "subscriptions".
* added hooks for checksumming of forwarded packages
* new feature: checksumming of data (downloaded and uploaded). Optionaly,
see README.Debian for instructions to enable it (closes: #274059)

apt-cacher (0.8.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed package version to native numbering scheme.
Closes: #282593
* Default config now does not specify a range of allowed_hosts,
so new installations will allow access to all clients by default.
This reduces the default security but should help reduce the
large number of "I've upgraded and now I can't use my cache" and
"I've installed but nothing is allowed to connect" questions.
Later this will be radically overhauled with Darren Salt's IPv6
patch, but I don't want to make too many changes in one release.
Closes: #264149
* Applied patch by Eduard Bloch to alter the rate limit config
handling, which improves handling of timeouts in corner cases.
Closes: #258242
* Cleaned syntax of scalar references in allowed_hosts processing.
Closes: #272937, #272813
* Added cleaning of udebs to cache cleaning script
Closes: #271391
* Removed build-deps on wget, apache and bzip2, plus dep on bzip2.
Closes: #294613
* 's/licence/license' typo fix in info output.
Closes: #295616
* Removed references to apt-cacher.org in the man page.
Closes: #285725
* Added support for caching Release.gpg files
Closes: #283219
* Altered install.pl to restart apache/apache-ssl/apache2 on configure.

The "how many bugs can we fix at once?" release.
* apt-cacher.pl: Check for undefined value which was showing an
error in the log.
Closes: #231187
* apt-cacher.pl: Fix version number displayed
Closes: #257409
* remove.pl: Now removes logrotate file on removal of package
(shouldn't this be taken care of by DPKG? The logrotate file
is installed by it, so it should remove it. Anyway...)
Closes: #253828
* apt-cacher.pl: Expires 'Sources.gz' file now in addition to
Packages.gz and Release (Thanks to Andreas Beckmann)
Closes: #237889
* apt-cacher.pl and apt-cacher.conf: Rate limiting by passing a
'--rate-limit' argument to Wget. Thanks to Torbjorn Svensson
for the patch!
Closes: #255361
* install.pl and remove.pl: No longer patches httpd.conf with an
alias. Now just symlinks to the apache config snippet from
conf.d, so we never touch httpd.conf. No more runaway entries!
Closes: #242365
* install.pl: Activates cgi module in Apache2.
Closes: #250599
* apt-cacher.pl: Check for name of file being requested. As a
partial answer to bug #251575 (still to be fixed properly) the
name of the file is now checked. If it isn't a .deb, .rpm,
Packages.gz, Sources.gz or Release file it's rejected with 403
Forbidden. That may trip up people if they don't compress the
Packages file, so if this causes grief please let me know ASAP.

apt-cacher (0.7-2) unstable; urgency=low
* apt-cacher-report.pl: Not much visibly different, but most of
the internals have been re-written after I started with just
fixing #230934 and then couldn't stop myself:
o Added support for reading rolled/compressed logfiles.
o Fixed previously undetected bug introduced in 0.6-11 by the
date handling patch: that change caused the latest logfile
to nuke the logfile array, causing old logfiles to be
ignored even though they were being opened. Doh!
o Check for zero value of traffic and assign hit and miss
values manually to fix divide by zero error.
Closes: #230934
o Set strings for start and end date if no records found.
o Check size of traffic values (total, hit, miss) and set
human-readable report strings in MB, or if >2000MB as GB
rounded to 3 decimal places.

* apt-cacher-import.pl: At long last. I've answered the
question "why can't I just copy .debs into the cache dir?"
sooooo many times that I've finally done something about it.
This supporting script traverses $cache_dir/import and imports
any .debs it finds into $cache_dir. More info in 'man apt-cacher'.
Of course, I did it in a half-assed way with a helper script
rather than making it work transparently within apt-cacher.pl
itself. Fixes welcome! Also fixes for the cludgy shell in it.

apt-cacher (0.6-10) unstable; urgency=low
* apt-cacher.pl: Altered the mix of direct and system calls
to where possible use system calls (ie: read->sysread, seek->
sysseek, open->sysopen) at the suggestion of my favorite bug
detective Peter Hawkins, to fix a potential infinite loop
situation on file reads - but hey, this is Linux, isn't it
meant to do infinite loops in 5 seconds? :-P
Closes: #196684
* install.pl: Added prompts for SSL cert password on Apache
restart at the suggestion of Brian Hunt.
* remove.pl: Updated to use the config file parser in
apt-cacher-lib.pl rather than the old-style internal parser.

apt-cacher (0.6-9) unstable; urgency=low
* apt-cacher.pl: Daniel Stone contributed a lot to this one,
providing me with an earlier version with changes in it to
help fix the hated 500 Internal Server Error bug by catching a
state where Wget makes a new file rather than truncating, and
thus changes the file descriptor out from under us. Those
changes were then merged forward to the most recent devel
version.
Also added 'seek' command to handle reading files of varying
length, such as packages that are currently in the process of
being downloaded and are not the full length at the time
apt-cacher tries to stream them to the client: that patch and a
Perl lesson supplied by Adam Moore.
Also changed the 'read' call to use sysread, at the suggestion
of Andreas Boeckler.
All those changes together help prevent the 500 Internal Server
Error bug occuring in different situations. Thanks Daniel, Adam
and Andreas! Hopefully that stupid bug is gone for good now.
Yippee!
Closes: #171059
* apt-cacher.pl: More changes provided by Daniel Stone to fix a
potential race condition discovered by some very nice detective
work by Peter Hawkins. Peter patched his local server, Daniel
incorporated the changes into the version he sent me :-)

Perl rather than kludgy shell, and to read the most recently
rotated log if one exists.
* apt-cacher-lib.pl: a new library for apt-cacher that so far
only contains the config file parser, so that a lot of
duplicate code can be ripped out of the main scripts. Based on
a patch sent in by Jeff Williams. Thanks Jeff!

complies with the new logdir directive.
Closes: #159605
* debian/man.1: Updates to the man page to reflect the config
file changes.

create a new upgrade script to prevent the cache contents being
nuked when upgrading.

displayed when apt-cacher is called with no arguments, and
addition of config values to info page for debug purposes.
* apt-cacher-report.pl: Addition of script to parse the access
log and generate a traffic report.
