installation of package, touch temp file "$LOCALEGEN". (closes: #381585)
* usr/bin/localepurge: Move check for existence of configuration file
to the very beginning of the script.

localepurge (0.5.5) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/postinst: Removed redirection via "</dev/tty >/dev/tty" which
breaks noninteractive usage as reported by Michael Eyrich (closes: #373186)
* In addition, a big thanks to Matt Brown for further support regarding
the ucf code portion he contributed before.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 02 Jul 2006 20:08:46 +0200
localepurge (0.5.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated Czech translation po/cs.po sent in by Miroslav Kure
(closes: #370293)
* Close bugreport by Luca Tettamanti about reporting freed space in
bytes instead of KBytes. This was already resolved with upload of
version 0.5.2 which was still waiting in the incoming queue when the
bug was detected. (closes: #369107)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Tue, 06 Jun 2006 20:44:15 +0200
localepurge (0.5.3) unstable; urgency=low

localepurge (0.5.2) unstable; urgency=low
* usr/sbin/localepurge: Change "$(du -bs $1)" to "$(du -ks $1)" to
correct display of space savings.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 27 May 2006 00:26:24 +0200
localepurge (0.5.1) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/po: Added updated Dutch nl.po sent in by Bart Cornelis.
(closes: #354592)
* Really close Bug#341431 of last upload. (closes: #341431)
* Closing bug report about nonexisting typo and request for file
deletions which are not in the scope of this package.
(closes: #368603, #324120)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Fri, 26 May 2006 04:16:37 +0200
localepurge (0.5.0) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control: Added "locales" to dependencies and don't ship
/var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist anymore. We use the list of
supported locales from the locales package instead.
* debian/rules: Added debconf-updatepo to the clean target as
suggested by Thomas Huriaux. (closes: #337266)
* No longer fails to to preconfigure with exit status 10 as reported
both by Julian Gilbey and Jari Aalto. (closes: #356294, #352675)
* Removed ancient debian/preinst. (closes #341431)
* usr/sbin/localepurge: Change "$(du -s $1)" to "$(du -bs $1)" as
suggested by komar. This prevents localepurge from failing when the
BLOCKSIZE variable is set. (closes: #348681)
* Incorporated most changes sent in as a patch by Matt Brown to
preserve user changes of the config file. (closes: #322169)
* debian/po: Added updated German de.po sent in by Erik Schanze, a new
Portuguese pt.po sent in by Miguel Figueiredo, and an updated French
fr.po sent in by Christian Perrier. (closes: #345850, #330378,#337302)
* debian/control: Added [!hurd-i386] for procps entry in Depends line.
(closes: #348183)

2005
localepurge (0.4.1) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control: Added "| debconf-2.0" to dependencies to make it
'possible to install cdebconf, which we would eventually like to
replace debconf' (words shamelessly copied from Joey Hess's posting
to debian-devel).
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 06 Aug 2005 23:46:39 +0200
localepurge (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Added Bulgarian translation of the debconf template sent in by Yavor
Doganov (closes: #317705).
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Mon, 18 Jul 2005 21:02:46 +0200
localepurge (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Update of Brazilian Portuguese translation of the debconf template
by Tiago Bortoletto Vaz (closes: #298332). I never received this bug
report via mail and only found it accidently while browsing the bug
tracking system. What's wrong here?
* Closing the bug regarding the procps dependency suggested by Jonas
Smedegaard which was fixed with last upload. I had to resort to the
bug tracking system to find out the bug number which i hadn't
received by mail either!? (closes: #313013)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Wed, 06 Jul 2005 15:47:18 +0200
localepurge (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Update of danish debconf translation debian/po/da.po sent in by
Claus Hindsgaul. Thank you, Claus! (closes: #315395)
* debian/control: Added procps to Depends line because the debconf
script uses "ps" so the package must depend on procps (as suggested
by Jonas Smedegaard).
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Wed, 06 Jul 2005 15:15:25 +0200
localepurge (0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* After seventyfive 0.0.* sub releases and the recently accomplished
final release of Debian/sarge i dare switching version numbering one
level up. This way the lower level version numbering will be available
for eventual Debian/sarge security updates.
* Updated Vietnamese, German, French and Czech debconf translations
(closes: #311605, #311719, #312593, #313252).
Actually there was no need to update any translations because the
recent wording changes (see #309054) didn't change any textual
meaning and i did mention it in this very changelog with last
release, didn't i?
* Added initial Japanese debconf translation sent in by Shimono Atsushi.
Thanks a lot! :-) (closes: #312495)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Wed, 15 Jun 2005 11:40:04 +0200
localepurge (0.0.75) unstable; urgency=low
* Added Vietnamese debconf translation sent in by Clytie Siddall of
the Vietnamese localization team. Thanks a lot! (closes: #309053)
* debian/localepurge.templates: Correction of wording suggested by
Clytie Siddall of the Vietnamese localization team (closes: #309054).
Since the meaning is exactly the same as before, there is no need to
take action for debconf translators.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Tue, 31 May 2005 14:43:12 +0200
localepurge (0.0.74) unstable; urgency=low

localepurge (0.0.69) unstable; urgency=medium
* Update of german debconf translation debian/po/de.po sent in by Erik
Schanze. Thanks again, Erik! (closes: #266150)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Wed, 18 Aug 2004 12:40:19 +0200
localepurge (0.0.68) unstable; urgency=medium
* Added german debconf translation debian/po/de.po sent in by Erik
Schanze (thanks a lot, Erik!) and adjusted both the english and the
german wordings a little bit. (closes: #266150)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Mon, 16 Aug 2004 23:52:29 +0200
localepurge (0.0.67) unstable; urgency=medium
* Changed "Recommends: debfoster, deborphan" to "Suggests:" as
mindfully requested by Jeff Sheinberg (closes: #265569).
* Added debian/DONATIONS.txt with hints for grateful users.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 14 Aug 2004 15:32:52 +0200
localepurge (0.0.66) unstable; urgency=high
* Updated debian/po/pt_BR.po with newer translation sent in by Andre
Luis Lopes. Thank you, Andre! (closes: #264217)
* Made this upload urgency=high because translations should definitely
be up to date for final release of sarge.
* Added "Recommends: debfoster, deborphan" to debian/control and added
a note about both packages to both debian/README.Debian and the
debian/localepurge.8 man page.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 08 Aug 2004 14:46:48 +0200
localepurge (0.0.65) unstable; urgency=low
* Replaced danish debconf translation debian/po/dk_DK.po with an updated
debian/po/da.po by Claus Hindsgaul. (closes: #242872)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 10 Apr 2004 19:57:56 +0200
localepurge (0.0.64) unstable; urgency=low
* Added french debconf translation sent in by Christian Perrier

-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Fri, 12 Mar 2004 23:25:07 +0100
localepurge (0.0.63) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied patch by Martin Quinson to fix breakage introduced by his
former po-debconf support patch which prevented purging of man page
files. (closes: #236850)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Wed, 10 Mar 2004 12:44:54 +0100
localepurge (0.0.62) unstable; urgency=low
* Added danish debconf translation sent in by Claus Hindsgaul
(closes: #236495)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 06 Mar 2004 23:45:39 +0100
localepurge (0.0.61) unstable; urgency=low
* Forgot to close the wishlist bug for switching to gettext-based
debconf templates by Martin Quinson fixed with the last upload.
(closes: #235491)
* Closing more bug reports:
- Explained via mail to bug reporter that localepurge's side effects as
described in it's documentation have to be considered when using it.
(closes: #228682)
- Due to a coding error localepurge used to be verbose about freed
space even when told not to. This has alread been fixed months
ago but i forgot closing this bug until now. (closes: #202302)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Mon, 01 Mar 2004 00:54:43 +0100
localepurge (0.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied patch by Martin Quinson to include po-debconf support.
Strikes me as quite ironic: localepurge is devised to remove
unnecessary localization files and this patch adds further
localization stuff to it... ;-)
* The former portuguese translation is removed from localepurge and
needs someone to work it over before it could be reintroduced.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 29 Feb 2004 23:36:30 +0100
2003
localepurge (0.0.59) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/postinst: put '#QUICKNDIRTYCALC' at line 101 between
parenthesis to escape the '#' so that it can be properly echoed
when configuring disk space reporting (closes: #210688).
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 13 Sep 2003 13:42:59 +0200
localepurge (0.0.58) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a more explicit warning to package description, README.debian
and the man page explaining that localepurge interferes with the
Debian package management and related programs resulting in possibly
unexpected, but harmless, behaviour. Added a description about how to
temporarily circumvent such unexpected results to README.debian and
the accompanying man page. (Closes: #202214)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Thu, 24 Jul 2003 17:28:16 +0200
localepurge (0.0.57) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/localepurge.config: Replaced "env COLUMNS=160 ps -p" with
"ps w -p" to enable wide output of /bin/ps. This fixes the problem
reported by Sebastien Bacher: Grepping for 'dpkg-reconfigure' at
line 341 always failed because 'ps -p $PPID' truncated the string to
'dpkg-reconfigur'. Should be the same problem which Zygo Blaxell
already reported in #161443 but which we both finally weren't able
to reproduce anymore. (Closes: #201886)
* /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-localepurge: Enable wide output of /bin/ps
by replacing 'ps -p "$PPID"' with 'ps w -p "$PPID"'.
* /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replaced "for LOCALE in $(ls $MANPAGEDIR |
grep -v ^man[1-9])" with "for LOCALE in $(ls --ignore="man[1-9]*"
$MANPAGEDIR)" as sugested by Alfie Costa in private mail to get
rid of yet another grep call in favor of a builtin /bin/ls feature.
* /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replaced "cat "$NEWLOCALELIST" | tr '\n' ' '"
with "tr '\n' ' ' < "$NEWLOCALELIST"", thus getting rid of /bin/cat.
Yet another fantastic hint of my alltime favorite shell wizard Alfie
Costa: Thank you! :-)
* /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replaced all "for file in $(echo foo/bar/*)"
with "for file in foo/bar/*", thus letting 'for' do all expansion
work itself. As well replaced all 'echo ""' with a simple 'echo'.
Guess who? Yes, Alfie Costa again! :-)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 19 Jul 2003 20:59:47 +0200
localepurge (0.0.56) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed localepurge/{showfreedspace,quickndirtycalc,verbose}
debconf priorities from medium to low again. Too much questions
asked for David B Harris, and i do agree. (Closes: #200197)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 06 Jul 2003 15:22:38 +0200
localepurge (0.0.55) unstable; urgency=low
* /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replaced sed command in get_used_space()
with a shell function as suggested by Alfie Costa.
* When i had created all locale files from the locales package for
testing purposes i was surprised to see that localepurge.config
created excessively large temporary files when dpkg-reconfiguring
localepurge. Therefore i added a "sort -u" when creating double
character locale names from underscore variations to prevent such
situations.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 05 Jul 2003 23:37:04 +0200
localepurge (0.0.54) unstable; urgency=low
* /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replaced "grep ^/" in get_used_space()
with "sed 1d" as suggested by Christian Garbs (Closes: #199744).
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Thu, 03 Jul 2003 00:45:51 +0200
localepurge (0.0.53) unstable; urgency=low
* Replaced fast and inaccurate disk space calculation variant with
another shell function which should now work with other locales.
Since this bug was reopened it will probably be reclosed... ;-)
(Closes: #198370)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 28 Jun 2003 01:59:33 +0200
localepurge (0.0.52) unstable; urgency=low
* Simplified grepping for $PPID in both 'debian/localepurge.config' and
'/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-localepurge' as suggested by Zygo Blaxell.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 22 Jun 2003 17:13:14 +0200
localepurge (0.0.51) unstable; urgency=low
* Added "export LANG=C" to /usr/sbin/localepurge to internally exclude
usage of locales other than C while running. (Closes: #198370)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 22 Jun 2003 17:13:14 +0200
localepurge (0.0.50) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/localepurge.config: Rearranged debconf specific code and
elevated all questions with priority "low" to "medium".
debian/localepurge.templates: Arranged answers in such a way
that verbose feedback is turned off by default.
* Reworded some entries in "debian/localepurge.templates" for more
clarity.
* Made "debian/rules clean" remove "debian/tmp" subdirectory. I wonder
how the loss of that went unnoticed all the time... ;-)
* localepurge is (and should be) invoked by apt-get after package
installations have been completed. Any error messages ocurring until
after completion of package installations are output by actions
taking place before localepurge is invoked and therefore can't be
be moved until after the execution of localepurge. Turn off verbose
execution to make sure to see error messages. (Closes: 110005)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Fri, 20 Jun 2003 18:47:46 +0200
localepurge (0.0.49) unstable; urgency=low
* Replaced all occurrences of "find ... -type f" with shell
equivalent "[ -f ... ]" in "/usr/sbin/localepurge", thus gaining
some processing speed. Added a test "[ -h ... ]" as well to avoid
dangling symlinks. Thanks to Alfie Costa! (Closes: #186211)
* Got rid of awk usage by replacing it with a clever shell function.
BIG THANKS to Alfie Costa again! (Closes: #186203)
* Added choice of two functions for disk space calculation enabling to
decide between slow but accurate or fast but inaccurate calculation
of disk space changes. (Closes: #162138, #168432)
* Where feasible, replaced /bin/ls with shell builtin 'echo'. Due to a
suggestion by Alfie Costa - again! ;-) (Closes: #186206)
* Added variable DONTBOTHERNEWLOCALE for those who don't want to
have to bother about deciding whether to delete newly introduced
locales. (Closes: #161443)
* Now localepurge deletes superfluous locale and man page symlinks as
well. (Closes: #190400)
* localepurge doesn't delete complete directories with their contents
but files contained in directories. Therefore the verbose output
during file deletions, as output by '/bin/rm -v' is actually perfectly
suitable for it's task. (Closes: #186127)
* Won't fix localepurge's conflict with debsums. As already outlined
in the README (please do read it!), localepurge is a hack and
not integrated with Debian's package management. Users of
localepurge should be aware of the possibility of negative side
effects of package management related tools. (Closes: #186014)
* The files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/* are dpkg's domain and i better
won't mess around with it. (Closes: #166175)
* Replaced all back tick command substitutions with "$()" constructs.
* Updated /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist with more complete version.
* Bump up Standards version.
* Slightly reformatted debian/changelog for better readability.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 15 Jun 2003 22:13:51 +0200
localepurge (0.0.48) unstable; urgency=low
* Added "env COLUMNS=160" when grepping "$PPID" output at line 342
of "debian/localepurge.config". A big THANKS goes to Tom Rini,
Lloyd Zusman, and above all, Jeff Sheinberg for helping me to
uncover the real culprit. (Closes: #162102, #165596)
* Modified message displayed when checking system for new locale.
* I won't add any code for purging localized debconf templates.
The main objective of localepurge is not to get rid of any
localizations but to regain some chunks of disk space when
needed on smallish disks. The effort of inserting code to get
rid of localized debconf templates would only add to localepurge's
complexity and result in even more speed loss at the gain of pretty
neglectable amounts of disk space (Closes: #99326).
* localepurge is not meant to stay forever and every further activity
making it more "user friendly" (instead of "admin friendly") strikes
me as a waste of time. Therefore i won't add any description of each
locale for the debconf dialog because it would only add to it's
complexity. I'd really hate to receive bug reports based on errors
introduced by efforts of making localepurge "user friendly". It already
is too verbose anyway, IMHO. (Closes: #159242)
* Get rid of the apt-localepurge transition package and added a Conflicts
line to "debian/control". (Closes: #161214)

localepurge (0.0.47) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a check for new locales which have not been considered by
any prior configuration of localepurge. By default, newly found
locales won't be touched at all until localepurge has been
reconfigured for taking them into account as well. This should
hopefully take care of a problem Tatsuya Kinoshita has made me
aware of. (Closes: #155426)
* Corrected localepurge.preinst message wording.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Mon, 5 Aug 2002 01:33:27 +0200
localepurge (0.0.46) unstable; urgency=low

localepurge (0.0.44) unstable; urgency=low
* /usr/sbin/localepurge: Rearranged the flow control constructs and
limited the number of grep calls to accelerate processsing.

localepurge (0.0.43) unstable; urgency=high
* /usr/sbin/localepurge: Disable calculation of LOCALEBEFORE
and MANBEFORE if verbose mode is not turned on. Strange, that
nobody complained about this before and that i didn't note this
myself. A big thanks goes to Marc Haber.
* /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replace calculations of LOCALEBEFORE
and MANBEFORE based on time consuming /usr/bin/du call with a
variation of a /usr/bin/df call. By courtesy of Marc Haber.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sat, 27 Jul 2002 01:54:56 +0200
localepurge (0.0.42) unstable; urgency=high
* In "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-localepurge": grep for "remove" string
within $PPID (which happens to be apt-get's PID) and don't run
"/usr/sbin/localepurge" if check is successfull. There is no need
for execution if apt-get's action is not an install of some kind.
Thanks to Michael Bertha for the hint at the $PPID! :-)
* Adapted TODO.Debian and the BUGS section of the manual page accordingly.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Wed, 26 Jun 2002 12:51:20 +0200
localepurge (0.0.41) unstable; urgency=high

localepurge (0.0.39) unstable; urgency=high
* Display output of '/bin/rm -v' when verbosity is turned on instead
of creating the messages ourselves. Information is more accurate and
complete this way.

localepurge (0.0.38) unstable; urgency=high
* Put grep commands between "". (Closes: #143779) * Made it delete only regular files instead of complete subdirectories to prevent deletion of symlinks set up by update-alternatives which could result in breaking package installations. Actually i do think that update-alternatives should be made robust enough to gracefully handle such situations but unfortunately i don't speak any Perl to help making this happen. The downside of this change is that lots of empty directories are left over after execution of localepurge.

localepurge (0.0.37) unstable; urgency=medium
* Before anything else, create default locale list with localepurge.config
to make it available for the following debconf preconfiguration dialog if
it doesn't already exist. Debconf preconfiguration is taking place before
any actual installation of package contents, so we have to make the default
locale list available right before the start of the debconf dialog.
* Include a script named "reinstall_debs.sh" in documentation which can be
used as a remedy for installing packages which have accidently been
processed due to faulty localepurge configuration.
* Corrected a typo in debian/localepurge.config.
* Reverted default setting for deletion of localized man pages in debconf
template from yes to no. I suppose it's a saner default to give the admin
a chance to first decide on her own before giving a reason to complain.
This maybe helps to prevent situations like in Bug#139796.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 14 Apr 2002 14:15:55 +0200
localepurge (0.0.36) unstable; urgency=medium
* Added a warning to package description in control file, README.debian
and the manual page to remind installers of this package of the fact that
they might break their system by using localepurge without knowing what
they are doing. I'm fed up with bug reports blaming localepurge for any
random breakage. If it breaks your system due to your own requests then
please simply don't use it (Closes: #138426, #139796).
* Made debian/localepurge.config consider the default locale list we
are shipping with this package so that a first time install presents
a mostly complete locale range to choose from. Installing it on a
fresh Debian installation (running Debian on a HP PA-RISC machine ;),
i noted that this was not the case until now.
* debian/postrm: Added creation of a temporary shell script containing a
recipe for reinstalling packages which localepurge has been taking care
of before and displaying a message about it.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 14 Apr 2002 09:35:58 +0200
localepurge (0.0.35) unstable; urgency=medium
* Removed dependency on locales package because it somewhat opposes
localepurge's aim to save as much disk space as possible. The purpose
of the locales package's presence was to create a mostly complete list
of all locales names to be used in the debconf dialog. But since a very
complete pre-made list is already shipped with localepurge this shouldn't
be necessary anymore although it will still be considered if present on
the system (closes: #139804).
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Mon, 25 Mar 2002 18:33:07 +0200
localepurge (0.0.34) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a TODO.Debian file. Please read and help somebody! * Fixed a typo in apt-localepurge package description (closes: #135194) * Made debconf preselection consider already existing /etc/locale.nopurge when upgrading from and replacing the old pre-debconf apt-localepurge package (closes: #135197) * Since all locale names begin with lower case letters, appropriately adapt grep procedure for locales in debian/localepurge.config script.

localepurge (0.0.33) unstable; urgency=low
* Ooops! I didn't remove "set -x" from the localepurge script which
resulted in a lot of useless output... ;-)
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Fri, 08 Feb 2002 22:11:00 +0200
localepurge (0.0.32) unstable; urgency=low
* Made /usr/sbin/localepurge calculate total of freed disk space only
when both locales and localized man pages have actually been purged.
This fixes a scripting problem with the usage of an empty variable
triggered when not having configured deletion of localized man pages.
Reported by restless contributor Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>.

localepurge (0.0.31) unstable; urgency=low
* Replaced all combinations of "sort" with "uniq" by "sort -u".
* Removed useless file debian/locale.nopurge from sources.
* Added a convenient note about how to reinstall all packages
containing locale data with a single command in README.Debian.

localepurge (0.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
* Confirmation from Andreas Tille <tille@debian.org> that stripping the trailing (not "leading" as written in the last changelog entry) ", " from locale listings fixes "Bug#128578". (Closes: #128578)

localepurge (0.0.29) unstable; urgency=low
* Make sure that the list of locales to select is displayed on upgrade
when no previous selections exist in the debconf database. This is
just to prevent skipping of the selection stage during an update due
to the recently introduced automatic preselection feature.
* Disabled debconf debugging aids which i used for testing purposes by
uncommenting the according entries in debconf config file.
* Added sed command to strip leading ", " from locale listings. Otherwise
this would confuse debconf e.g. such that it strips the last locale
entry from the chosen entries or similar. I have yet to confirm with
bug reporter Andreas Tille <tille@debian.org> whether this is the
needed correction to fix Bug#128578. So i won't close this one now.

localepurge (0.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
* Made deletion of all locale data a configurable value PURGE_ALL
in debconf database. Not that i recommend its use... ;-)
* Made "dpkg-reconfigure localepurge" automagically reuse locale
settings from /etc/locale.gen as preselections if it has set the
value NEEDSCONFIGFIRST in debconf database in a prior run.

localepurge (0.0.26) unstable; urgency=low
* Now really update /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist instead of only
the debian/defaultlist file which was not intended to stay there.
Moved it to /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist now.
* Made debconf config script create double character locale names
(like e.g. "de") of all underscore variations (like e.g. "de_DE").
* Updated included /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist accordingly.
* Preselect locale settings in debconf dialog based on entries in
/etc/locale.gen if no previous locale values are present in debconf
database (Closes: #128063).

localepurge (0.0.25) unstable; urgency=low
* Made debconf configuration ask further questions about deletion
of man pages and verbose output only after succesfully choosing
some locales to keep.
* Updated /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist with more content.
* Update of Brazilian Portuguese translation of the debconf template
by Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>.
* Fixed a few typos in template file (Closes: #128368, #128369).

localepurge (0.0.24) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/postrm: delete configuration file /etc/locale.nopurge when
purging the package from system.
* debian/config: check whether /etc/locale.gen exists and make
sure to take its contents in account for configuration.
* Split verbose mode from display of freed disk space summary and made
verbose mode show all its purging actions again.
* Added a debconf option for configuring both verbosity and summary
of freed disk space separately.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Mon, 07 Jan 2002 18:12:57 +0200
localepurge (0.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
* Made verbose operation mode output only what it is processing and
report the freed disk space. It was just too much verbosity.
* Added a debconf configuration option for toggling deletion of
localized man pages as suggested by Gustavo ("principle of least
surprise").
* Updated description in control file, README.debian and the
accompanying man page.
-- Paul Seelig <pseelig@debian.org> Sun, 06 Jan 2002 00:10:28 +0200
localepurge (0.0.22) unstable; urgency=low

* Clean up $TEMPFILE after configuration is finished.
* Corrected the wording of debconf template file regarding
configuration and verbose output.
* /etc/apt.conf.d/99-localepurge has already been declared being
a conffile in a former revision of this package (Closes: #127428).

in control file which i took out before for testing purposes but
forgot to put back again...
* Shortened verbose output messages and removed reporting on keeping
of locale files retaining only information output about purges.
* Made localepurge calculate and, when verbosity is turned on, show
the disk space freed after deletion of superfluous locale files.
* Due to popular demand, added removal of localized man pages from
/usr/share/man directory as new feature. (Closes: #127333, #103744).

* Another debconf addition by Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org> which asks whether localepurge should give verbose output. * Changed some of the texts displayed by debconf for more clarity. * Thanks again to an idea by Gustavo, added a default locale list as "/var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist" and added a postinst routine merging it with a pre-existing "/var/cache/localepurge/localelist". * Added a note about reconfiguring localepurge with dpkg-reconfigure(8) to README.Debian and the man page. * Removed references to "/usr/X11R6/share/locales" from man page and included Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org> in the author section of both the man page and the README.Debian for his contributions.

localepurge (0.0.17) unstable; urgency=low
* Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org> thankfully added the debconf support i never dared to bother about (Closes: #126629). Thanks! * Made it depend on debconf (>= 0.2.26) because of multiselect and locales (to get available locales) [Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org>] * Extended the method for getting a list of the available locales on the system for the debconf configuration dialog. * Made some spelling corrections and other modifications to adapt debconf support to current localepurge version. * Removed obsolete check for /usr/X11R6/share/locale/LC_MESSAGES from "/usr/sbin/localepurge". * Made debconf store list of locales in "/var/cache/localepurge/locales" at first configuration run for later referral. This way it is possible to reclaim deleted locale entries in "/etc/locale.nopurge". This was largely inspired by Gustavo Noronha Silva <kov@debian.org> again. :-)

* Since this package contains new components it's stuck in incoming
anyway. So i'll just give in and rename the source package in the
hope it'll still make it into woody somehow...

apt-localepurge (0.0.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Added an additional warning to "/etc/locale.nopurge" to make
users aware of the fact that activating localepurge by only
commenting out the marker line "NEEDSCONFIGFIRST" without
defining any locale file to keep will result in deletion of
all locale files.
* Made installer package "apt-localepurge" depend on "localepurge"
package with the same or larger version in control file.
* Looks like it was a bad idea renaming this package before the
possible woody freeze because it got stuck in incoming. So i'll
revert the renaming for the source package and will defer this
for a later occasion.
* Since the versions between 0.0.10 and this one never made it into
the main archive here are the respective changelog entries:
- Wed, 19 Dec 2001 19:36:43 +0200

"http://lintian.debian.org/reports/mPaul_Seelig.html";.
- Tue, 18 Dec 2001 23:40:11 +0200
* Added conflict for apt-localepurge <= 0.0.10 in control file.
- Tue, 18 Dec 2001 02:49:35 +0200
* Made debian/rules clean debian directory from apt-localepurge subdir.

* Renamed package simplifying its name by removing the actually
quite pointless "apt-" prefix.
* Created empty "apt-localepurge" depending on "localepurge"
for transitioning purposes.
* Made localepurge stop telling how to make it stop telling how to
make it stop telling... (closes: #103048, #121314)
* localepurge will still keep looking for LC_MESSAGES directories in
/usr/X11R6/share/locale although only a few packages still install their
locale data in there. This will eventually disappear. (closes: #124214)

the "/usr/sbin/apt-localepurge" script in case the package's
default verbosity is still turned on.

apt-localepurge (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Added an "if" clause to the dpkg post-invoke command to test for
the existence of "/usr/sbin/apt-localepurge". This ensures that
after removal of the apt-localepurge package itself no nasty error
messages because of a missing "/usr/sbin/apt-localepurge" are showing
up from dpkg.

* Inverted the removal mechanism. Now every locale listed in the
configuration file "/etc/locale.nopurge" will be kept and any
other locale will be deleted if it contains a subdirectory named
LC_MESSAGES.
* Added a debian/preinst script renaming /etc/locale.purge to
/etc/locale.purge-obsolete and mailing the local root user about
the inverted apt-localepurge removal mechanism.
