An option is provided to disable this, which is enabled by default for the Ubuntu vendor as they truncate the local changelogs – and for apts --print-uris action. 2016-01-14T16:33:58Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2016-01-14T13:45:37Z urn:sha1:7fa4f5e12261d39666283051956d9e1f78eb609b Parsing XML entity files in shell isn't exactly nice and causing the substitution with a while-read loop isn't either, but it seems to be good enough for the moment without changing too much.

It is probably not a good idea for them to parse them in the first place, but they do and we shouldn't break them if there is a better way. So we solve this issue for now by giving our deb822 format a new filename extension ".sources" which unsupporting applications are likely to ignore an can begin gradually moving forward rather than waiting for the unknown applications to catch up. Currently and for the forseeable future apt is going to support both with the same feature set as documented in the manpage, with the longtime plan of adopting the 'new' format as default, but that is a long way to go and might get going more from having an easier time setting options than from us pushing it explicitely. 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.

(similar, but not that strong for ubuntu) Closes: 743595 2014-03-13T12:57:34Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2014-02-23T23:25:29Z urn:sha1:fa19cc9573aac19cfbf43364d4b5660c9ab645bc It can be useful to have a whole makefile available for vendor setup, but by providing a basic one we can deal with the simple cases more easily (and changes to the system are presumably easier).
