2014-04-23Consistently use Dpkg::Progress* in documentationJames McCoy
Closes: 745452
2014-03-13support DEB_BUILD_PROFILES and -P for build profilesDavid Kalnischkies
Inspired by the rest of the patch in 661537, but abstract the parsing of various ways of setting the build profiles more so it can potentially be reused and all apt parts have the same behaviour. Especially config options, cmdline options and environment will not be combined as proposed as this isn't APTs usual behaviour and dpkg doesn't do it either, so one overrides the other as it normally does.
2014-02-14do not recommend dselect in apt-get manpageDavid Kalnischkies
The current description says: "Many users find dselect intimidating and new users may prefer to use apt-based user interfaces." It doesn't feel right to refer users to it then. Closes: 617625
2013-12-05* document Dpkg::Progress-Fancy (closes: 726169), thanks to James McCoyMichael Vogt
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.

2010-05-24* doc/apt-get.8.xml:David Kalnischkies

- add a --only-upgrade flag to install command (Closes: #572259) That is NOT what is requested in e.g. #74067 - this is a very simple flag which behaves orthogonal to --no-upgrade not a full-blown upgrade option for a single package instead of the whole package set.
