Change log for apt-file package in Ubuntu

apt-file (3.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Debian Janitor ]
  * Drop no longer supported add-log-mailing-address setting from
    debian/changelog.

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * Add new --stream-results argument to apt-file.  This option
    will make apt-file emit results as soon as they are found
    but also emit duplicate results in many cases.  It can greatly
    reduce memory usage and runtime spent up to first result.

  [ Ville Skyttä ]
  * apt-file: Replace `fgrep` with `grep -E`.  (Closes: #1019329)

  [ Lucy Phipps ]
  * apt-file: Fix invalid call to stop_with_msg.
  * debian/control: Remove obsolete (build-)dependency on
    liblist-moreutils-perl.

  [ Debian Janitor ]
  * Remove constraints unnecessary since buster:
    + Build-Depends: Drop versioned constraint on apt.
    + apt-file: Drop versioned constraint on apt in Depends.
    + apt-file: Drop versioned constraint on apt-venv, command-not-found and
      devscripts in Breaks.
    + Remove 2 maintscript entries from 1 files.
  * Bump debhelper from old 11 to 13.
  * Update standards version to 4.6.0, no changes needed.

apt-file (3.2.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix bug where the progress indicator was still been using
    under debug mode (despite the intention for it to be
    disabled as it clashes with the debug messages).
  * README.md: Update links to Julian's blog.  (Closes: #921115)
  * Optimize imports to reduce start up time a bit.

• diff from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 (2.6 KiB)

apt-file (3.2.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Include a final new-line in the 50apt-file.conf file.  Thanks to
    Sven Joachim for reporting its absence.  (Closes: #917304)
  * Optimize "apt-file list-indices" by about a factor 3 in the
    default case by calling "apt-get indextargets" only once rather
    than once per index.
  * Have apt-file print status indicators when stdout is a TTY
    (and when not running in debug mode).
  * Explicitly pass configuration file to apt-file during the test
    to fix a problem with the autopkgtests failing.

apt-file (3.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Drop now unnecessary lintian-overrides.
  * Add a new "list-indices" command to list which indices can be
    enabled/disabled and searched (using the -I command).
  * Assume that Contents files no longer have a descriptive header
    that contains human-readable instructions for how to read the
    file.  If you are working with Contents files that still have
    them, then set "apt-file::Parser::Check-For-Description-Header"
    to "true" in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50apt-file.conf.  Thanks to
    Paul Wise for making this factor 2 speed improvement possible.
    (Closes: #881406)
  * Reset the error message for when the apt-file cache is empty
    to refer to "apt-file update" instead of "apt update".
    (Closes: #857095)
  * Clarify in apt-file.1 that "apt-file update" is not deprecated
    as it has a special case where it is different from a regular
    "apt update" / "apt-get update".
  * Sort the options in the --help output (except for --help and
    "--", which are both deliberately last).  (Closes: #651684)
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.3.0.

 -- Niels Thykier <email address hidden>  Tue, 25 Dec 2018 16:00:53 +0000

apt-file (3.1.6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix typo in the changelog

  * Bump debhelper compat 11 via the new "debhelper-compat"
    dependency.

apt-file (3.1.5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Remove rapt-file and two obsolete .sgml files from the source.
  * Set R³ to no; apt-file does not need (fake)root during the
    binary-targets in the package builds.
  * Skip dh_strip_determinism; it is a no-op at the moment and
    is planned to be removed eventually.
  * Set debhelper compat to 10.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.1 - no additional changes
    required.

  * diffindex-download improvements for the case when diff/Index is not available
    (LP: #316155):

apt-file (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low

    instead of the full Contents files. Use this for http and ftp in default
    config file (closes: #373589).

    (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).

    (closes: #506554).

apt-file (2.1.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use ~/.cache/apt-file as cache directory if called as non-root user,

    'apt-file update' as non-root (closes: #443728).

    allow to choose the config file with the APT_FILE_CONFIG environment
    variable.

    - 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

  * 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).

  * 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.

  * 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).

    - 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)
    - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), cdbs
    - Standards-Version: 3.7.3

  * 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
