cupt (2.10.0) unstable; urgency=low
* console:
- New positional action override option '--reinstall'.
- Action preview prompt: removed printing "(a)" suffix for removed/purged
automatically installed packages. Instead, introduced all-action
package indicators: "{m}" for manually installed packages, "{a}" for
automatically installed ones. Those 2 affect only non-color output mode.
Only "{m}" is enabled by default.
- Action preview prompt: fixed an internal error on showing versions for
to-be-purged removed packages.
- Action preview prompt: warn (by default) when removing important
packages (the ones marked as 'Important: yes').
- Action preview prompt: fixed showing broken installed packages as to
be reinstalled if an user prevented their automatic
removal/reinstallation.
- Package action modifier suffixes '+' and '-' are now deprecated.
They still work (for now) but produce a warning when used.
- 'shell':
- Don't rebuild the cache when the last action required less cache
parts than the current one, but all needed parts were loaded before.
- Don't rebuild the cache if simulation is on.
- Replaced argument parsing algorithm from a shell invocation to a
simple word parser (simple one-level shell quotes still allowed).
- 'version' and 'help' commands now work also here.
- 'dist-upgrade':
- Do not apply positional arguments on the first stage (when upgrading
package management tools).
- 'reinstall':
- Make non-must reinstall requests non-fatal even if there are no
reinstallation candidates.
- Also consider candidates having same version but different hash sums.
- 'functional selectors':
- New functions 'build-depends-arch' and 'build-conflicts-arch'.
- New functions 'reverse-build-depends-arch' and
'reverse-build-conflicts-arch.
- New function 'important';
* lib:
- config:
- New option 'cupt::console::warnings::removal-of-essential'.
- New option 'cupt::console::warnings::removal-of-important'.
- Don't ask dpkg for architectures if the 'apt::architecture' option
was already set via configuration file.
- New method 'getConfigurationPartPaths'.
- Enable colored output on terminals by default.
- New options in 'cupt::console::actions-preview' family:
'package-indicators::manually-installed' and
'package-indicators::automatically-installed'.
- cache:
- Verifying repository signatures: use APT keyrings directly, now that
they're finally world-readable.
- Verifying repository signatures: display better error message when
a key has expired.
- Verifying repository signatures: display 'public key not found'
warning message also if there are no available keyrings.
- Verifying repository signatures: treat unaccessible detached
signatures as missing (results in better diagnostics).
- Removed the 'copy the keyring' hack, introduced in 2.2.2.
- Removed support of localized descriptions without a description hash
present in the original index (even oldstable has them).
- Parsing release files: fixed displaying 'no release file present'
warnings if more than one release file is missing.
- Support for 'check-valid-until=no' option in sources.list.
- 'getSatisfyingVersions': provisional single-arch support for ':native'
suffixes.
- cache/binaryversion:
- [ABI break] New member 'important'.
- cache/sourceversion:
- [ABI break] New member 'buildProfiles'.
- [ABI break] 'RelationTypes': new values 'BuildDependsArch' and
'BuildConflictsArch'.
- system/worker:
- 'updateReleaseAndIndexData': fixed removing partial uncompressed file
if uncompressing of a temporary file failed.
- 'updateReleaseAndIndexData': use new '*-Download' sections in
diff indexes to check size and hash sums of individual diff earlier.
- 'updateReleaseAndIndexData': dropped the obsolete way of downloading
translation files via localication index (even oldstable has them in
Release files).
- 'changeSystem': do not require anymore that 'dpkg' binary package is
installed, it's enough that dpkg binary is available.
* doc:
- reference:
- Fixed Doxygen warnings about obsolete Doxyfile tags.
* debian:
- control:
- Bumped the ABI suffix from 1 to 2.
- Added build-dependency on locales-all (for locale-specific tests).
- Added build-dependency on liblist-moreutils-perl (for tests).
- Added build-dependency on libtest-dir-perl (for tests).
- Added build-dependency on libexpect-simple-perl (for shell tests).
- Added build-dependency on gpgv, gnupg, ed (for tests).
- Removed 'breaks' of very old versions of daptup and debdelta.
- Moved 'libcupt4-2' to sections 'libs', as lintian suggests.
