2009-09-15Add even more config options and try to handle configuration problemsDavid Kalnischkies
arising if we upgrade essential or predependencies which need to be configured before even unpacking packages depending on them.
2009-09-13add and document experimental options to make aggressiveDavid Kalnischkies
use of dpkg's trigger and configuration handling (Closes: #473461) Add NoTriggers option to add --no-triggers to all dpkg calls, NoConfiguration to prevent apt from trying to configure packages - dpkg should handle this in the last ConfigurePending call. This options are for now deactivated as they require more testing in real world situations, but the plan is to enable them in the near future if anything works well.

2009-08-28merge with my po4a branch & update both pot'sDavid Kalnischkies
Thanks again for the initial patch from KURASAWA Nozomu and for the improvements and cleanups done by Nicolas François to get po4a up and running for apt man page translations!
2009-08-27 * buildlib/po4a_manpage.mak, doc/makefile, configure:David Kalnischkies
- simplify the makefiles needed for po4a manpages Add a bit more autodetection to the buildsystem to be able to add only half translated languages (only a few man pages, not all) and try to reduce the overhead needed to add new languages.

* doc/ja/*, doc/po/ja.po: - remove the old ja man page translation and replace it with the new po4a-powered translation by KURASAWA Nozomu.
2009-08-26 [ Nicolas François ]David Kalnischkies
* Cleaned up the first patch draft from KURASAWA Nozomu to finally get po4a support for translating the man pages. Many thanks to both for this excellent work! (Closes: #441608)

* doc/style.txt, buildlib/defaults.mak, buildlib/manpage.mak: - fix a few typos in the comments of this files
2009-08-26* doc/Doxyfile.inDavid Kalnischkies
- activate DOT_MULTI_TARGETS, it is default on since doxygen 1.5.9 The description for this option is: # Set the DOT_MULTI_TARGETS tag to YES allow dot to generate multiple output # files in one run (i.e. multiple -o and -T options on the command line). This # makes dot run faster, but since only newer versions of dot (>1.8.10) # support this, this feature is disabled by default. Even oldstable has a newer dot version, so the debian package doxygen activate it per default and we will follow this recommendation now.
2009-08-26 * doc/Doxyfile.in:David Kalnischkies
- update file with doxygen 1.6.1 (current unstable)
2009-08-26[ Nicolas François ]David Kalnischkies
* doc/*.?.xml (manpages): - add contrib to author tags and also add refmiscinfo to fix warnings
2009-08-25"backport" the APT::Configuration class to apt-sidDavid Kalnischkies
We can use it to simplify the internal code to operate with Acquire::CompressionTypes group. This also made it possible to set this setting with the -o flag.

2009-08-12[doc/apt-get.8.xml]David Kalnischkies
- update the source description to reflect what it actually does and how it can be used. (Closes: #413021)
2009-08-12Add a Acquire::CompressionTypes config variable from there theDavid Kalnischkies
acquire-items choose which compression file they should (try first to) download to easily add new or change the order of the compression types. And because it is easy now we directly add builtin lzma support. The compression ratio is better than bzip2 but we prefer the later for now as no (official) mirror uses lzma, so this would only generate useless hits on the servers. Maybe sometime in the future lzma will be the default... [apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc] - use configsettings for dynamic compression type use and order. Based on a patch by Jyrki Muukkonen, thanks! (LP: #71746) [apt-pkg/init.cc] - add default configuration for compression types and add lzma support. Order is now bzip2, lzma, gzip, none (Closes: #510526) [ftparchive/writer.cc] - add lzma support also here, patch for this (and inspiration for the one above) by Robert Millan, thanks!
2009-08-09[doc/apt-mark.8.xml] improve manpage based on patch by Carl Chenet, thanks!David Kalnischkies
