2021-01-11Release 2.1.17Julian Andres Klode
2021-01-08Fixup manual page docbook syntaxJulian Andres Klode
No idea why we don't have manual page syntax check (what prepare-release post-build does) in CI. Should fix that eventually. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2021-01-08Add support for Phased-Update-PercentageJulian Andres Klode
This adds support for Phased-Update-Percentage by pinning upgrades that are not to be installed down to 1. The output of policy has been changed to add the level of phasing, and documentation has been improved to document how phased updates work. The patch detects if it is running in a chroot, and if so, always includes phased updates, restoring classic apt behavior to avoid behavioral changes on buildd chroots. Various options are added to control this all: * APT::Get::{Always,Never}-Include-Phased-Updates and their legacy update-manager equivalents to always or never include phased updates * APT::Machine-ID can be set to a UUID string to have all machines in a fleet phase the same * Dir::Etc::Machine-ID is weird in that it's default is sort of like ../machine-id, but not really, as ../machine-id would look up $PWD/../machine-id and not relative to Dir::Etc; but it allows you to override the path to machine-id (as opposed to the value) * Dir::Bin::ischroot is the path to the ischroot(1) binary which is used to detect whether we are running in a chroot.
2020-02-26Release 1.9.11Julian Andres Klode
2020-01-17policy: Implement pinning by source packageJulian Andres Klode
This implements the src: syntax inside policy, allowing you to pin by source package. This by default only pins the native architecuture, use src:pkg:any to pin for all architectures in your cache. Closes: #166032
2016-01-14change debian related entities to a more explicit nameDavid Kalnischkies
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
2015-08-15Document the general effect of the comma operatorJulian Andres Klode
Closes: #574939
2015-08-14apt_preferences(5): Mention overlapping of pin matchesJulian Andres Klode
2015-08-14apt_preferences(5): Correct default pin assignment documentationJulian Andres Klode
This was broken, as higher pins were also assigned to versions that are installed. Closes: #623706
2015-08-14Merge branch 'debian/experimental' of https://github.com/DonKult/apt into ↵Julian Andres Klode
debian/experimental
2015-08-12apt_preferences(5): Re-document how priorities are calculatedJulian Andres Klode
The old text did not match either the old or the new implementation, so let's rewrite it to explain the new implementation. Closes: #554773
2015-08-12policy: Be more strict about parsing pin files, and document prio 0Julian Andres Klode
Treat invalid pin priorities and overflows as an error. Closes: #429912
2015-08-12use a=experimental instead n=experimental in pin documentationJohannes Schauer
Closes: 783343
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.
2012-08-30* doc/apt_preferences.5.xml:David Kalnischkies
- use the correct interval (x <= P < y) for pin value documentation as these are the intervals used by the code (Closes: #685989)
