Using a binary-specific subtree which is merged into the root seems like a simple enough trick to achieve this. 2015-09-14T13:22:19Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-09-14T11:18:29Z urn:sha1:24e8f24e1e94ec3816b0bfc7a05d1c4e3f73248e This changes the semantics of the option (which is renamed too) to be a yes/no value with the special additional value "force" as this allows by-hash to be disabled even if the repository indicates it would be supported and is more in line with our other yes/no options like pdiff which disable themselves if no support can be detected. The feature wasn't documented so far and hasn't reached a (un)stable release yet, so changing it without trying too hard to keep compatibility seems okay. 2015-08-27T16:16:50Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-08-27T16:13:00Z urn:sha1:1a3a14ac63b0c4f18de53a7bddcf79d20a5e814f Disabling pdiffs can be useful occasionally, like if you have a fast local mirror where the download doesn't matter, but still want to use it for non-local mirrors. Also, some users might prefer it to only use it for very big indextargets like Contents. 2015-08-24T10:39:57Z Michael Vogt mvo@ubuntu.com 2015-08-24T10:39:57Z urn:sha1:c8ec5ab764e90565b58ba5f55f4d9d6939b44c69 Thanks: Julian Andres Klode Git-Dch: ignore 2015-08-21T09:38:32Z Michael Vogt mvo@debian.org 2015-08-21T09:38:32Z urn:sha1:a27c4e88a5820ac0642c68f72d01e5eac3dfc6b5 Git-Dch: ignore 2015-08-12T09:55:47Z Jonathan Nieder jrnieder@gmail.com 2015-08-11T20:07:18Z urn:sha1:29efb9dda712554a2f05eb0475e3cd0a6b8a90fb [Commiter: Patch adapted to apply to current version of the manpage and added/moved a few words about Version 3 to make it fit better] Closes: 627188 2015-08-12T09:55:47Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-08-11T17:24:24Z urn:sha1:35bf76cf3035761c8721e51250bbeb5f4facf8ee RootDir doesn't only effect Dir-scope but all FindDir directories, so document it accordingly.

Valid-Until-* names are chosen instead of the Min/Max-ValidTime as this seems like a better name and their use in the wild is probably low enough that this isn't going to confuse anyone if we have to names for the same thing in different areas. In the longrun, the config options should be removed, but for now documentation hinting at the new options is good enough as these are the kind of options you set once across many systems with different apt versions, so the new way should work everywhere first before we deprecate the old way. 2015-06-15T12:39:37Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-06-13T09:13:45Z urn:sha1:d56e2917f27a722b54685de13aeb1bb7592fc61b Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try to download if it should just be displayed or similar such. The URI is constructed as follows: Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field, otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or "Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct), while the rest of the URI varies widely between them. The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists). If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin. Closes: 687147, 739854, 784027, 787190
