Revert "doc: Increase visibility of special signs' usage"

2025-06-10T16:03:00Z

This reverts commit 66ec0dfad8ac1d4d8646a4734eb9353f3ebc0a91. This creates too much churn in the translation.

doc: Increase visibility of special signs' usage

Introduce apt why, apt why-not

2025-05-19T15:20:09Z

These are implemented somewhat differently from aptitudes why and why-not commands: They produce the actual solver trace for why a particular decision has been taken. For the why-not case, we need to explicitly discover our specified package, as if nothing else depends on it in our graph, it would otherwise always be undiscovered and conflicts not detected (see e.g. level-3 in the test).

apt.8: summarise remaining verbs (Closes: #827785)

The following were undocumented // package stuff {"auto-remove", &DoInstall, nullptr}, {"autopurge",&DoInstall, nullptr}, // system wide stuff // misc {"moo", &DoMoo, nullptr}, // for compat with muscle memory {"dist-upgrade", &DoDistUpgrade, nullptr}, {"showsrc",&ShowSrcPackage, nullptr}, {"depends",&Depends, nullptr}, {"rdepends",&RDepends, nullptr}, {"policy",&Policy, nullptr}, {"build-dep", &DoBuildDep,nullptr}, {"clean", &DoClean, nullptr}, {"distclean", &DoDistClean, nullptr}, {"dist-clean", &DoDistClean, nullptr}, {"autoclean", &DoAutoClean, nullptr}, {"auto-clean", &DoAutoClean, nullptr}, {"source", &DoSource, nullptr}, {"download", &DoDownload, nullptr}, {"changelog", &DoChangelog, nullptr}, {"info", &ShowPackage, nullptr}, And there's good reason for some of it, but I unironically didn't know where apt changelog lived. It's unsearchable. So the following are now simple links with no paragraphs: // query // package stuff // system wide stuff // misc // for compat with muscle memory {"showsrc",&ShowSrcPackage, nullptr}, {"depends",&Depends, nullptr}, {"rdepends",&RDepends, nullptr}, {"policy",&Policy, nullptr}, {"build-dep", &DoBuildDep,nullptr}, {"clean", &DoClean, nullptr}, {"distclean", &DoDistClean, nullptr}, {"autoclean", &DoAutoClean, nullptr}, {"source", &DoSource, nullptr}, {"download", &DoDownload, nullptr}, {"changelog", &DoChangelog, nullptr},
