* update manpage last-modified from git via pre-export hookDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Never updating this information is wrong, updating it automatically isn't super correct either, but it seems conventional to have it and updating it more often than needed seems better than updating it never. Git-Dch: Ignore
* revamp all tools help messagesDavid Kalnischkies2015-11-041-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The general idea is: A small paragraph on the tool itself as a description, a list of the most used (!= all) commands available in the tool, a remark where to find more information on the tool and its commands (aka: in the manpage) and finally a common block referring to even more manpages. In exchange options are completely omitted from the output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them sanely in this context.

* hide implicit deps in apt-cache again by defaultDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-101-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before MultiArch implicits weren't a thing, so they were hidden by default by definition. Adding them for MultiArch solved many problems, but having no reliable way of detecting which dependency (and provides) is implicit or not causes problems everytime we want to output dependencies without confusing our observers with unneeded implementation details. The really notworthy point here is actually that we keep now a better record of how a dependency came to be so that we can later reason about it more easily, but that is hidden so deep down in the library internals that change is more the problems it solves than the change itself.
* ensure that all docs use all entities filesDavid Kalnischkies2014-08-261-9/+3
| | | | | | | | | Not all are needed for all files at the moment, but the new docbook building hadn't available some of the entities it used as the files weren't correctly copied around in all cases and having the same across the bord makes working with all of them a little easier. Git-Dch: Ignore
* add a vendor specific file to have configurable entitiesDavid Kalnischkies2013-11-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | manpages sometimes refer to distro-specific things like the name of the package providing the achive-keyring. Having a central place to configure this helps in having it consistent in the manpages and allows to load this info from other places in the buildsystem as well later.

* * doc/*:David Kalnischkies2012-04-051-28/+2
| | | | | - move the command synopsis out of each manpage into apt-verbatim.ent as they are a hell to translate and just single out the parameters which can be translated to apt.ent

| | | | | | - remove not implemented 'apt-cache add' command * doc/apt-cache.8.xml: - describe reality as apt-cache just queries and doesn't manipulate the caches. Thanks to Enrico Zini for spotting it! (Closes: #612009)
* * doc/apt.ent:David Kalnischkies2010-10-141-0/+3
| | | | - move some strings into apt-verbatim.ent to avoid showing them in apt-doc.pot as they are untranslatable anyway (e.g. manpage references)

(Closes: #425150) * Fix typos: - apt-pkg/depcache.cc * Fix compilation warnings: - apt-pkg/acquire.cc - apt-pkg/versionmatch.cc * Compilation fixes and portability improvement for compiling APT against non-GNU libc (thanks to Martin Koeppe, closes: #392063): - buildlib/apti18n.h.in: + textdomain() and bindtextdomain() must not be visible when --disable-nls - buildlib/inttypes.h.in: undefine standard int*_t types - Append INTLLIBS to SLIBS: + cmdline/makefile + ftparchive/makefile + methods/makefile * doc/apt.conf.5.xml: - clarify whether configuration items of apt.conf are case-sensitive (thanks to Vincent McIntyre, closes: #345901) * doc/apt-cache.8.xml: - search command uses POSIX regex, and searches for virtual packages too (closes: #277536) * doc/offline.sgml: clarify remote and target hosts (thanks to Nikolaus Schulz, closes: #175940) * Fix several typos in docs, translations and debian/changelog (thanks to timeless, Nicolas Bonifas and Josh Triplett, closes: #368665, #298821, #411532, #431636, #461458) * Document apt-key finger and adv commands (thanks to Stefan Schmidt, closes: #350575) * Better documentation for apt-get --option (thanks to Tomas Pospisek, closes: #386579) * Retitle the apt-mark.8 manpage (thanks to Justin Pryzby, closes: #471276) * Better documentation on using both APT::Default-Release and /etc/apt/preferences (thanks to Ingo Saitz, closes: #145575) * doc/apt-cache.8.xml: - add missing citerefentry * Upload to unstable * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc: - Store the trigger state descriptions in a way that does not break the ABI. The approach taken makes the search for a string O(n) rather than O(lg(n)), but since n == 4, I do not consider this a major concern. If it becomes a concern, we can sort the static array and use std::equal_range().
