Changelog
wajig (2.0.50) unstable; urgency=low
[ Tshepang Lekhonkhobe ]
* VERIFY: Add a check for debsums before running the command, and add
a Suggests on it.
* PURGE: use apt-get instead of dpkg, in order to get a yes/no prompt.
* LIST-LOG: Remove custom logging implementation
- was fragile: sometimes info was lost during a run
- was expensive: checked system cache both before and after the
operation to determine what happened; it also did this for commands
which didn't even change the system cache
- did not log cache changes when they were done by other tools
(apt, aptitude, & synaptic)
- APT log looks much better
* SHOW: use aptitude instead of apt-cache
- the output is prettier
- better virtual package handling; it displays real packages that provide
the functionality implied by that virtual package, instead of just
vomiting "package not found!"
- only displays info on the installed version; else, the latest available;
apt-get showed all available versions
- the trade-off is that the command is a bit slower, but what's the rush :)
* LIST-RECOMMENDED: new command that displays packages which are
auto-installed via Recommends, and are without installed dependencies.
(Closes: #482147)
* PURGE: also purge packages that were installed via a Recommends and have
nothing depending on them; this makes PURGE-DEPEND reduntant.
* REMOVE: also remove packages that were installed via a Recommends and have
nothing depending on them; this makes REMOVE-DEPEND reduntant.
* AUTO-REMOVE: Made reduntant by above REMOVE change, so removed.
* AUTO-INSTALL: Deprecated in favour of "--yes INSTALL", so removed from docs.
* NEWS: 'new' command that displays package NEWS file(s).
* AVAILABLE: AVAILABLE: removed a badly-named and redundant command; POLICY
command does the same thing.
* INSTALL: accept -y|--yes option, an alias for apt-get's --assume-yes.
* UPGRADE: accept -y|--yes option, too.
* FIX-INSTALL: accept -n|--noauth option.
* FIX-MISSING: accept -n|--noauth option, too.
* REINSTALL: accept -n|--noauth and -y|--yes option.
* HELP: introduce the convenient "wajig HELP COMMAND" functionality.
* Remove supression of error messages; Not a good idea.
* Add dependency on aptitude; It must have been forgotten.
* Cleanse packaging, drastically :-)
* Stop using python-support; There was no need for it.
wajig (2.0.49) unstable; urgency=low
[ Tshepang Lekhonkhobe ]
* UPGRADE: Don't automatically do an "apt-get update" with the backup
option; the behaviour is not standard, and is not so-damn-fast.
* UPGRADE: Add command line argument for --backup to specify target
directory. * Used to be "wajig --backup upgrade BKDIR". * Now it's
"wajig --backup=BKDIR upgrade".
* UPGRADE: Proceed to upgrade after using -b|--backup option.
* UPGRADE: Remove the option to install listed packages. This helps
reduce code complexity.
* CHANGELOG: Now only displays uninstalled entries by default. This
makes the hacky NEWS command redundant, which is therefore
removed. (Closes: #424668).
* CHANGELOG: Add -v|--verbose=1 option to display the whole thing. This
was the default option, but suggestion offered in #424668 is more
sane.
* CHANGELOG: Add -x|--pager option to allow scrolling. This also implies
-v|--verbose=1 (see above).
* DIST-UPGRADE: Add -b|--backup=BKDIR option to allow backing up of
packages before dist-upgrade.
* BUILD: Now uses sudo instead of fakeroot to avoid permission-related.
build failures for some packages (EG, fakeroot & cdbs). (Closes:
#464003).
* Fix a parsing bug where "wajig changelog libgtk2.0-0" didn't work.
* Switch to dpkg-source 3.0 (native) format
* RBUILDDEPS: New option allowing one to determine which packages
build-depends on a particular package. The long form command is
"reverse-build-depends", else just use "wajig rbuilddeps pkgname".
(Closes: #335240).
* SEARCH: Make apt-cache's "--names-only" default. Use "-v" option to get
old behaviour.
