2007-12-01Move the aptitude-create-state-bundle and aptitude-run-state-bundle ↵Daniel Burrows2-5/+422
documentation into the DocBook manual. This means that the documentation for the scripts will show up in the HTML documentation, and hopefully it will also make translators' lives easier and make the manpages more maintainable.
2007-12-01Document the new behavior of dropping from the command-line resolver to ↵Daniel Burrows1-12/+31
manual resolution.
2007-12-01Consistently link to safe-upgrade and full-upgrade when they are mentioned.Daniel Burrows2-41/+49

2007-11-23Add an option --allow-untrusted to override trust warnings. (Closes: ↵Daniel Burrows1-0/+10
#452201, #452541)
2007-11-21If the user has set StepLimit to 0, always abort with a message indicating ↵Daniel Burrows1-8/+9

2007-10-23Apply the patch from Ian Jackson and Michael Vogt to get proper supportDaniel Burrows1-2/+14
for the new dpkg "Breaks" field.
2007-10-15Reorganize the documentation on the aptitude development tree.Daniel Burrows1-34/+88
* Replace references to darcs with references to Mercurial. * Clean up and segment the documentation. * Mention the mailing list. * Encourage people to submit patches on-list instead of via private email. More work is probably needed here, but I'm not sure exactly what sort of guidance contributors need. I have none right now. If I get some and they say they're confused about things, I can worry about adding more helpful hints at that time.
2007-08-14Fix the 'pattern' grouping policy to match the docs (it was inserting ↵Daniel Burrows1-0/+17
packages into *all* matching trees, not just the first), and add support for inserting packages directly, without creating subtrees.
2007-07-25Automagical 'make dist' updatesDaniel Burrows3-465/+482
2007-07-08Fix the metainformation of the manpage.Daniel Burrows1-0/+5
2007-06-20Remove XML documentation that's autogenerated by po4a on 'make clean'.Daniel Burrows2-0/+2
2007-06-17Update the pofiles with 'make dist'.Daniel Burrows3-4405/+5263
2007-06-17Improve the documentation of 'why', including an update to the sample ↵Daniel Burrows1-21/+46
screenshots.
2007-06-17[aptitude @ Add a new command "aptitude why" that interrogates the package ↵Daniel Burrows1-0/+95
dependency tree to deduce a justification for the presence of a single package.] This command can answer the questions "why is this installed?", "what conflicts with this?", and "why does installing A pull in B?" It does *not* do full dependency resolution, so it can't answer "why can't I install this?"; it just walks the dependency tree until it finds an answer.
2007-06-16[aptitude @ Fix a broken link in the manpage.]Daniel Burrows1-1/+1
2007-06-13[aptitude @ French manpages translation update]bubulle@debian.org1-166/+110
428585_fr-man
2007-05-18[aptitude @ Allow the user to set the command that's used to become root ↵Daniel Burrows1-0/+28
(Closes: #281246).]
2007-05-15[aptitude @ Update the version number to 0.4.5.]Daniel Burrows1-1/+1
2007-04-22[aptitude @ Make it clearer that the command-line search implicitly 'or's ↵Daniel Burrows2-2/+6
its arguments, rather than 'and'-ing them.]
2007-04-22[aptitude @ Change the default value of StepScore to 70, and fix its ↵Daniel Burrows1-2/+6
documentation to not claim it should be negative and to describe it more fully. (Closes: #418385, although I'd like to also implement code to merge search branches when possible)]
2007-04-21[aptitude @ Add safe-upgrade and full-upgrade as synonyms for upgrade and ↵Daniel Burrows2-32/+59
dist-upgrade respectively, and deprecate "upgrade" (dist-upgrade is less misleading).]
2007-04-20[aptitude @ Add a command-line option, ↵Daniel Burrows1-0/+16
Aptitude::CmdLine::Resolver-Show-Steps, which lets the user request that the resolver show its output as a sequence of dependency resolutions.]
2007-03-29[aptitude @ Change how we apply bolding to literal elements so that it works ↵Daniel Burrows1-1/+1
with the new Docbook templates (Closes: #415468, #416232).]
2007-03-13[aptitude @ Rewrite the documentation of the configuration options that ↵Daniel Burrows1-12/+18
control which dependencies are "important"; this incorporates suggestions from Stefan Kangas to more precisely describe the behavior of these options, as well as an attempt to use cleaner and more direct language (e.g., less passive tense). (Closes: #405002)]
2007-03-10[aptitude @ Recognize Apt::Get::AllowUnauthenticated as a synonym for ↵Daniel Burrows1-2/+3
Ignore-Trust-Violations. (Closes: #411927)]
2007-03-10[aptitude @ Fix a build error caused by a mistake in the French ↵Daniel Burrows1-1/+1
documentation's .po file.]
2007-03-10[aptitude @ Add a keyboard command bound to 'N' that repeats the last search ↵Daniel Burrows1-0/+21
in the opposite direction (Closes: #414020, #397880)]
