2018-11-21apt.cc: Add "apt info" alias for muscle memoryanatoly techtonik
Muscle memory is acquired from querying package info with tools like snap, dnf etc.
2017-07-12Reformat and sort all includes with clang-formatJulian Andres Klode
This makes it easier to see which headers includes what. The changes were done by running git grep -l '#\s*include' \ | grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \ | xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/' To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running ./git-clang-format.sh.
2016-05-28look into the right textdomain for apt-utils againDavid Kalnischkies
Broken in e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 by looking always into "apt" while we ship some tools in "apt-utils"…

2015-11-29use function pointers instead of weak symbols for cmdline parsingDavid Kalnischkies
Passing function pointers around while working on this was very icky, but if weak symbols are too much to ask for… Reverts "do not use "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" during the build to avoid breakage" aka a5fc9be36211a290a7abc3ca2a8bf98943bc1f57.
2015-11-04revamp all tools help messagesDavid Kalnischkies
The general idea is: A small paragraph on the tool itself as a description, a list of the most used (!= all) commands available in the tool, a remark where to find more information on the tool and its commands (aka: in the manpage) and finally a common block referring to even more manpages. In exchange options are completely omitted from the output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them sanely in this context.
2015-11-04hidden support more apt-get/apt-cache commands in aptDavid Kalnischkies
apt is supposed to be a user-friendly interface, so while these commands are usually poweruser material and therefore do not need to be shown in general introduction manpages/help messages its of no use to not allow users to use them. This includes clean, autoclean, build-dep, source, download, changelog, depends, rdepends and showsrc – it doesn't include more non-interactive commands like dump or xvcg as those are usually used by scripts if at all. Closes: 778234, 780700, 781237

2015-11-04move apts cmdline helper type into -privateDavid Kalnischkies
Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04generate commands array after config is loadedDavid Kalnischkies
This ensures that location strings loaded from a location specified via configuration (Dir::Locale) effect the help messages for commands. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04new quiet level -qq for apt to hide progress outputDavid Kalnischkies
-q is for logging and -qqq (old -qq) basically kills every output expect errors, so there should be a way of declaring a middleground in which the output of e.g. 'update' isn't as verbose, but still shows some things. The test framework was actually making use of by accident as it ignored the quiet level in output setup for apt before. Eventually we should figure out some better quiet levels for all tools…
2015-11-04deduplicate main methodsDavid Kalnischkies
All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to move the common parts into -private to have the real differences more visible. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04split up help messages for simpler reuseDavid Kalnischkies
That is one huge commit with busy work only: Help messages used to be one big translateable string, which is a pain for translators and hard to reuse for us. This change there 'explodes' this single string into new string for each documented string trying hard to split up the translated messages as well. This actually restores many translations as previously adding a single command made all of the bug message fuzzy. The splitup also highlighted that its easy to forget a line, duplicate one and similar stuff. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04move 'search' implementations as wellDavid Kalnischkies
Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04centralize 'show' implementation of apt and apt-cacheDavid Kalnischkies
The show commands have different styles in both binaries as the audience is potentially very different, but that doesn't mean we need to separate the implementation especially as they are slightly similar. This also allows us to switch between the different show versions at runtime via an option. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-14apt: Add autoremove and auto-remove commandsJulian Andres Klode
2015-03-16stop displaying time of build in online helpJérémy Bobbio
As part of the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that apt could not be built reproducibly. One issue is that it uses the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros of the C preprocessor to display the time of build in the online help. We believe this information not to be really useful to users as they can always look at the package data and metadata to figure it out. The attached patch simply removes this information. All non-documentation packages can then be built reproducibly with our current experimental framework. [David: changed the string slightly to be untranslateable as well] Closes: 774342
2014-11-09streamline display of --help in all toolsDavid Kalnischkies
By convention, if I run a tool with --help or --version I expect it to exit successfully with the usage, while if I do call it wrong (like without any parameters) I expect the usage message shown with a non-zero exit.

2014-01-24add "apt full-upgrade" and tweak "apt upgrade"Michael Vogt
There is a new "apt full-upgrade" that performs a apt-get dist-upgrade. "apt dist-upgrade" is still supported as a alias. The "apt upgrade" code is changed so that it mirrors the behavior of "apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs" and also honors "apt uprade --no-new-pkgs".
