Changelog
cupt (2.3.0~rc1) experimental; urgency=low
* console:
- Common options:
- New options '--include-archives', '--exclude-archives',
'--include-codenames', --exclude-codenames'.
- 'policy':
- 'Candidate' field name is ambiguous, changed it to 'Preferred'.
- 'source':
- Downloading source package parts: include only those codename/component
pairs to long descriptions which belong to a selected base
download URI.
- Don't try to re-download already existing (i.e. hash sums match) files.
- Managing packages:
- Don't print misleading 'Performing requested actions' when there is
nothing to do.
- New option '--show-not-preferred'.
- Don't uppercase action names anymore.
- Show also action summary.
- New options '--summary-only', '--no-summary'.
- 'search':
- Output short description(s) even if all search expressions was found in
the package name.
- Sort packages before the processing. That reduces a program's system
time by making file reads more linear. As a consequence, an output is
now sorted too.
- Now searches in the localized description if present.
* lib:
- system/resolvers/native:
- Removing automatically installed packages: stopped considering
those inter-package relations which are satisfied by some
non-removable package.
- Implemented partially sticked packages. This should get rid of
duplicate solutions. (Closes: #641473)
- download/progresses/console:
- Printing 'download failed' messages: use a download number instead of
the download description.
- Printing 'download failed' messages: reformatted to have the error
string earlier in the string and match the 'Get:<number>' style.
- config:
- New options 'cupt::cache::limit-releases::by-archive',
'cupt::cache::limit-releases::by-archive::type'.
- New options 'cupt::cache::limit-releases::by-codename',
'cupt::cache::limit-releases::by-codename::type'.
- New option 'cupt::console::actions-preview::show-not-preferred'.
- New options 'cupt::console::actions-preview::show-summary',
'cupt::console::actions-preview::show-details'.
- New option 'cupt::cache::pin::addendums::but-automatic-upgrades'.
- The APT option 'apt::acquire::translations' is no more used.
- New option 'cupt::languages::indexes'.
- New option 'cupt::console::use-colors'.
- Recognize (but don't use) the APT option 'acquire::languages'.
- system/worker:
- Logging: log errors too.
- Downloading package archives: include only those codename/component
pairs to long descriptions which belong to a selected base
download URI.
- Updating release and index data: use i18n/Index for downloading package
description localizations (Closes: #547948).
- Updating release and index data: download all variants of requested
description localizations, not only the first successful one.
- 'getArchivesInfo': fixed an undefined behavior while obtaining the
result of readlink(2). (Closes: #638327)
- cache:
- Honor 'cupt::cache::limit-releases::*' options.
- Process all requested translations, not only the first successful one.
- cache/releaseinfo:
- New field 'butAutomaticUpgrades'.
- hashsums:
- Reduce CPU overhead of the calculating hashes of short strings.
- 'fatal', 'warn', 'debug', 'simulate': are deprecated now.
* doc:
- man:
- [Jonathan Nieder] Split off a cupt.conf(5) page from cupt(1).
Thanks to A. Costa for the idea (Closes: #648012).
- What was referred as 'candidate version' is really
the 'preferred version'.
