Debian Changelog apt-file (2.3.0)

2009

apt-file (2.3.0) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add initial version of rapt-file, which does not rely on the downloaded
     file lists, but queries dde.debian.net for every search. It does not offer
     all features of apt-file (closes: #518764).
   * Add Enrico to Uploaders.
   * Fix perl warning when $HOME is not set (closes: #527303)
   * Make diffindex-download check if stdout is a terminal instead of stdin,
     to determine if it should be quiet. This fixes 'apt-file -N' disabling
     the download progress report (closes: #526393)
   * Bump Standards-Version:
     - add support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:38:45 +0200

apt-file (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * diffindex-download improvements for the case when diff/Index is not available
     (LP: #316155):
     - make error message less noisy
     - don't calculate the sha1sum of the old file, it's futile anyway
     - don't redownload the full file if it has not changed

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Mon, 16 Feb 2009 22:46:33 +0100

apt-file (2.2.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix ftp download (closes: #511672).

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:04:33 +0100

apt-file (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low

   * Ship 'diffindex-download' and 'diffindex-rred' for downloading patches
     instead of the full Contents files. Use this for http and ftp in default
     config file (closes: #373589).
   * diffindex-download uses curl with progress meter enabled by default
     (can be changed in apt-file.conf). Closes: #381613
     Therefore always depend on curl and remove dependency on wget.
   * diffindex-download prints some error messages if no connection is possible
     (closes: #357031).
   * Make 'apt-file purge' remove old content files even if the sources.list
     line has been removed in the meantime (closes: #507092).
   * Make tests not require wget or curl during build-time. Thanks James Westby
     (closes: #506554).

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:59:04 +0100

2008

apt-file (2.1.6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Use ~/.cache/apt-file as cache directory if called as non-root user,
     but fall back to the old /var/cache/apt/apt-file. This allows to use
     'apt-file update' as non-root (closes: #443728).
   * No longer search for apt-file.conf in the current directory. Instead,
     allow to choose the config file with the APT_FILE_CONFIG environment
     variable.
   * Update bash completion (closes: #502655).
   * Add some tests and run them during build.

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:04:10 +0100

apt-file (2.1.5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix wrong permissions for cache directory created by old versions
     (closes: #495519).
   * Fix leading slashes being ignored when searching, a regression introduced
     by the fix for #483624 (closes: #496127).
   * Give meaningful error message if cache dir cannot be read.
   * Bump standards version (no changes).

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Sat, 23 Aug 2008 18:56:17 +0200

apt-file (2.1.4) unstable; urgency=low

     generic (Closes: #489821).

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Wed, 09 Jul 2008 00:02:03 +0200

apt-file (2.1.3) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Thijs Kinkhorst ]
   * Recommend menu rather than depend on it since it's not strictly
     necessary (Closes: #483406).
 
   [ Stefan Fritsch ]
   * Fix substring search when absolute path is given (Closes: #483624).

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Sat, 31 May 2008 16:14:21 +0200

apt-file (2.1.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add new option --non-interactive/-N to skip schemes that may require user
     interaction during 'apt-file update'. This is useful for cron jobs.
   * Change BEGIN block to make 'perl -c' work.
   * Accept 'false' as an alias for 'DIRECT' in apt's proxy configuration
     (closes: #476961) and ignore case. Also print the selected proxy
     in verbose mode.
   * Run perltidy on the source code.

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Sun, 18 May 2008 19:15:26 +0200

apt-file (2.1.1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Thijs Kinkhorst ]
   * Fix dashism (!) in is-cache-empty (Closes: #472592).
   * Ship cache dir in package to prevent warnings while apt-file
     has not yet been run (closes: #474545).
   * Add docbook build-depends for manpages.
 
   [ Stefan Fritsch ]
   * With curl, use -f to abort on any error and not just on 404s.
   * Allow absolute paths for commands in apt-file.conf.
   * Do not reorder commands' STDOUT and STDERR.
   * Make is-cache-empty ignore *tmp (closes: #474227).
   * Extract proxy information from apt config and set environment variables
     accordingly (closes: #350716).
   * Slightly increase speed of regexp searches.
   * Use package version in 'apt-file --version' output.
   * Clarify pattern syntax in man page (closes: #474334).
   * Clarify use of --architecture option in man page (closes: #472807).
   * Handle debtorrent: urls in sources.list (thanks to Jö Fahlke,
     closes: #461315).

 -- Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org>  Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:09:53 +0200

apt-file (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Stefan Fritsch ]
   * Hijack package. New maintainer.
   * Add Thijs as uploader.
   * Acknowledge NMU (closes: #397381). Thanks to Gunnar Wolf and Kevin Glynn.
   * Import changes from Ubuntu. This fixes these bugs:
     - Regular expression search with -x does not really work (Closes: #259446)
     - fails to read /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (Closes: #353275)
     - manpage says dpkg -S when it means dpkg -L (Closes: #376828)
     - please apply more complete patch to fix output (Closes: #382312)
     - silently fails when there are no file lists (Closes: #408309)
     - bash_completion: `_apt-file': not a valid identifier (Closes: #441041)
     - bash_completion does not complete filename after search command
       (Closes: #448358)
     - typo in apt-file.conf (Closes: #451840)
     Thanks to Daniel Hahler, Emmet Hikory, and Barry deFreese.
   * Fix misleading error message when cache dir does not exist
     (Closes: #456166).
   * Set umask on apt-file update to ensure cache is always world readable
     (Closes: #361878).
   * Don't show files repeatedly which are in the same package in several suites
     (Closes: #402228).
   * Allow bundling of short options (Closes: #384013).
   * Correctly extract file and directory names from apt config
     (Closes: #446621).
   * Use zfgrep to speed up non-regex searches (Closes: #470488). To be able to
     do this, we need a different way to trim the header of Contents.gz than
     used in the patch for bug #382312 (Closes: #293942).
   * Pass 'set -x' to the shell when in verbose mode.
   * Refactor apt-file.conf:
     - Move common code blocks in apt-file.conf to separate variables.
     - Use gunzip -l instead of file to check if a file is gzipped.
     - Fix misleading comments (Closes: #356790).
     - Remove chmod 644 since we now set umask correctly.
   * Correctly handle parentheses in regexp searches (Closes: #467619).
   * Correctly handle fixed string (-F) searches (Closes: #469375).
   * Remove update-notifier hook file when package is purged.
   * Remove cdbs build dependency.
   * Add vcs header to debian/control.
 
   [ Thijs Kinkhorst ]
   * Remove ancient versioned-depends on essential package gzip.
   * Add missing debhelper compat file.
   * Correct misspelled architecture variable name, makes architecture
     selection work again. Thanks Enno Cramer (Closes: #364411).
   * Change suggestion from ssh to openssh-client (Closes: #375578).
   * Many documentation cleanups (thanks Era Eriksson for some,
     Closes: #320322, #412133).
   * Rebuild man page from sgml during package build.
   * Change section to admin, following override.
   * Drop -N parameter from wget command since it's not allowed in
     combination with -O according to the manual (Closes: #380736).

apt-file (2.0.8.2ubuntu3) hardy; urgency=low

   * Improved "need to run apt-file update" experience (LP: #154180)
     - debian/apt-file.postinst:
       - Do not call apt-file update anymore directly
       - install update-notifier hook
     - debian/control: Depend on "menu" for su-to-root
     - apt-file: test if the cache directory is empty for actions
       search/find and show/list.
   * apt-file: reverted removal of leading slash in pattern and implement
     logic to match both without slash at the beginning and with slash
     inside (LP: #181600). Apply the same logic to regexp patterns (-x).
   * debian/rules:
     - moved DH_COMPAT=3 to debian/compat (increased to 5)
     - Fixed debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error
     - Dropped binary-arch target
   * Fix typos/wording in README
   * apt-file.conf: Add integrity check for fetched files (LP: #176753)
   * apt-file: find_command: remove leading spaces and open parentheses
     before looking for the command, so that the new defaults in
     apt-file.conf work
   * apt-file: print output from command after executing it, so that
     errors and notes from there get to the user
   * debian/apt-file.postrm: added DEBHELPER marker
   * debian/control:
     - Dropped Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>> 3.0.0)

     - Standards-Version: 3.7.3
     - Recommend "file", which gets used optionally for the integrity check
   * apt-file.bash_completion: filename/directory completion for "search",
     patch taken from Debian bug #448358
   * apt-file/do_grep: only search in all cache files once (LP: #174134)
   * apt-file: fix display of warning in purge_cache, if the file cannot be
     deleted
   * Applied patches from Kevin Glynn in a lot of places, see Debian bug
     #382312). Thanks!

apt-file (2.0.8.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * The Contents.gz files map a file to the list of packages that
     contain it. do_grep grabs all these packages, this fix
     post-processes its result so that we only print out the packages
     that do match the given pattern.  Also, take account that a file
     name may have spaces and avoid false positives by tightening the
     grep pattern.  NOTE: this is a minimal NMU patch to close
     important bug #382312 (it also closes two similar bugs).
     There is a more complete patch available in the bts for
     #382312 that I think would make apt-file much more useful and
     closes other bugs.     (Closes: #382312, #376607, #358821)
   * Updated Version String to 2.0.8.2 (Closes: #376458)

     updated the reference in code to ConfigFile to point to Config::File
     instead as well. (Closes: #387018)

 -- Gunnar Wolf <gwolf@debian.org>  Fri, 27 Oct 2006 13:38:03 -0500
