This also changes Acquire-By-Hash to be "yes" rather than "true", so it is consistent with dak's output. Closes: #272557

Yes, we might still add new features to 1.3 or break some more stuff. Stay tuned!

2016-05-27fix and document on the fly compressor configDavid Kalnischkies
libapt allows to configure compressors to be used by its system via configuration implemented in 03bef78461c6f443187b60799402624326843396, but that was never really documented and also only partly working, which also explains why the tests weren't using it…
2016-01-14change debian related entities to a more explicit nameDavid Kalnischkies

2015-11-27./prepare-release pre-export1.1.1Michael Vogt
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
2015-11-04support arch:all data e.g. in separate Packages fileDavid Kalnischkies
Based on a discussion with Niels Thykier who asked for Contents-all this implements apt trying for all architecture dependent files to get a file for the architecture all, which is treated internally now as an official architecture which is always around (like native). This way arch:all data can be shared instead of duplicated for each architecture requiring the user to download the same information again and again. There is one problem however: In Debian there is already a binary-all/ Packages file, but the binary-any files still include arch:all packages, so that downloading this file now would be a waste of time, bandwidth and diskspace. We therefore need a way to decide if it makes sense to download the all file for Packages in Debian or not. The obvious answer would be a special flag in the Release file indicating this, which would need to default to 'no' and every reasonable repository would override it to 'yes' in a few years time, but the flag would be there "forever". Looking closer at a Release file we see the field "Architectures", which doesn't include 'all' at the moment. With the idea outlined above that 'all' is a "proper" architecture now, we interpret this field as being authoritative in declaring which architectures are supported by this repository. If it says 'all', apt will try to get all, if not it will be skipped. This gives us another interesting feature: If I configure a source to download armel and mips, but it declares it supports only armel apt will now print a notice saying as much. Previously this was a very cryptic failure. If on the other hand the repository supports mips, too, but for some reason doesn't ship mips packages at the moment, this 'missing' file is silently ignored (= that is the same as the repository including an empty file). The Architectures field isn't mandatory through, so if it isn't there, we assume that every architecture is supported by this repository, which skips the arch:all if not listed in the release file.
2015-09-14add --sha512 option + documentation for apt-ftparchiveDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2012-06-09* ftparchive/apt-ftparchive.cc:David Kalnischkies
- default to putting the Contents-* files below $(SECTION) as apt-file expects them there - thanks Martin-Éric Racine! (Closes: #675827)

2012-04-05* doc/*:David Kalnischkies
- move the command synopsis out of each manpage into apt-verbatim.ent as they are a hell to translate and just single out the parameters which can be translated to apt.ent

2010-10-14* doc/apt.ent:David Kalnischkies
- move some strings into apt-verbatim.ent to avoid showing them in apt-doc.pot as they are untranslatable anyway (e.g. manpage references)

- add ValidTime option to generate a Valid-Until header in Release file
2010-05-13* doc/apt.entDavid Kalnischkies

2010-03-26Switch the TranslationWriter to use MultiCompress to be able to generateDavid Kalnischkies
the compressed files as we want them and to prevent the file to be replaced without a reason which could save us from steady redownloads of a file with the same content.
2010-03-26Inclusion of Long Descriptions in the Packages files can be set nowDavid Kalnischkies
also in TreeDefaults and Tree to support generation of archives which should support and which shouldn't support splitted out Translation-en files in the same run.
2010-02-18 - add --arch option for apt-ftparchive packages and contents commandsDavid Kalnischkies
- if an arch is given accept only *_all.deb and *_arch.deb instead of *.deb. Thanks Stephan Bosch for the patch! (Closes: #319710)
