[ David Kalnischkies ]
* doc/makefile: - create doxygen directory to avoid depending on magic (Closes: #628799) * cmdline/apt-key: - explicitly state that net-update is not supported if no url is set - require to be root for add, rm, update and net-update - clarify update vs. net-update in different distros (Closes: #632043) * debian/apt.symbols: - forgot 'mips' in the list for all architecture dependent symbols - comment out gcc-4.5 specific symbols as gcc-4.6 is now default - the symbol for PrintStatus() is architecture dependent * apt-pkg/policy.cc: - do not segfault in pinning if a package with this name doesn't exist. Thanks to Ferdinand Thommes for the report! - Defaults is a vector of Pin not of PkgPin - ensure that only the first specific stanza for a package is used - save all stanzas which had no effect in Unmatched - allow package:architecure in Package: - remove invalid pkgcache.bin and rebuild it if possible - log reinstall commands in history.log * apt-pkg/init.cc: - don't set deprecated APT::Acquire::Translation, thanks Jörg Sommer! * cmdline/apt-config.cc: - show Acquire::Languages and APT::Architectures settings in 'dump' (Closes: 626739) * apt-pkg/orderlist.cc: - ensure that an old version of a package with a provides can never satisfy a dependency of a newer version of this package [ Michael Vogt ] * methods/mirror.cc: - ignore lines starting with "#" in the mirror file - ignore non http urls in the mirrors - append the dist (e.g. sid, wheezy) as a query string when asking for a suitable mirror * apt-pkg/deb/deblistparser.cc: - include all known languages when building the apt cache (LP: #794907) * apt-pkg/deb/debindexfile.cc: - remove some no longer valid checks for "TranslationsAvailable()" [ Kenneth Solbø Andersen ] * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc: - set permissions of term.log to root.adm and 644 (LP: #404724) [ Chris Leick ] * various typo and syntax corrections in doc/*.xml [Chris Baines] * Began to fix DepAdd for imediate configuration of all packages
