2016-08-17add --with-source option and Packages/Sources supportDavid Kalnischkies
We support "./foobar.deb" as a way to install a deb file directly. Recently .changes files were added. This highlights a problem as you can't add the changes file without also trying to install all of them. Now, it could also be handy to add entire Packages/Sources files to perhaps get a bunch of packages in without installing them all implicitly. This commit introduces --with-source which allows to add *.deb, *.changes, *.dsc, source-dirs, Packages & Sources files (the later can also be compressed) without also installing them.
2016-05-24fix two typos in apt.conf & apt-cache manpageDavid Kalnischkies
Reported-By: lintian: spelling-error-in-manpage Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-25update manpage last-modified from git via pre-export hookDavid Kalnischkies
Never updating this information is wrong, updating it automatically isn't super correct either, but it seems conventional to have it and updating it more often than needed seems better than updating it never. Git-Dch: Ignore
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.

2015-08-10hide implicit deps in apt-cache again by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
Before MultiArch implicits weren't a thing, so they were hidden by default by definition. Adding them for MultiArch solved many problems, but having no reliable way of detecting which dependency (and provides) is implicit or not causes problems everytime we want to output dependencies without confusing our observers with unneeded implementation details. The really notworthy point here is actually that we keep now a better record of how a dependency came to be so that we can later reason about it more easily, but that is hidden so deep down in the library internals that change is more the problems it solves than the change itself.
2014-08-26ensure that all docs use all entities filesDavid Kalnischkies
Not all are needed for all files at the moment, but the new docbook building hadn't available some of the entities it used as the files weren't correctly copied around in all cases and having the same across the bord makes working with all of them a little easier. Git-Dch: Ignore
2013-11-30add a vendor specific file to have configurable entitiesDavid Kalnischkies
manpages sometimes refer to distro-specific things like the name of the package providing the achive-keyring. Having a central place to configure this helps in having it consistent in the manpages and allows to load this info from other places in the buildsystem as well later.

2012-04-05* doc/*:David Kalnischkies
