+- set environment variables REPREPRO_*_DIR when calling hooks. + (note that those are set to the last set values, so for example + REPREPRO_CONF_DIR will be the directory with 'distributions' in it, + not necessarily the one with 'options' in it that was parsed). +- other minor bugfixes + +Updates between 3.4.2 and 3.5.0: +- allow suite names as command line arguments + (when there is not codename of this name and only one distribution + has this suite name) +- generate and check Sha256, too. +- changestool puts Files: last in .changes files so etch's dupload + works. + +Updates between 3.4.1 and 3.4.2: +now really fix the nasty bug with notifiers 3.4.1 should +have fixed and be more verbose when rejecting packages because +of problems with a key + +Updates between 3.4.0 and

REPREPRO_CAUSING_FILE environment variable in log notifiers. +- update expected fields to new dpkg-dev +- try to extract missing section and priority of .dsc files from + .diff.gz and .tar.gz. + +Updates between 3.3.1 and 3.3.2: +- bugfix in includedeb and a little bit code cleanup + +Updates between 3.3.0 and 3.3.1: +- multiple bugfixes + +Updates between 3.1.0 and 3.3.0: +- add support for different checksums. + The new checksums.db which stores all the checksums, while + files.db still only stores md5sum and is the canonical information, + when it exists. This way repositories keep backward compatible. + A repository generated with --nooldfilesdb only has checksums.db + and will not work with reprepro version prior to 3.3. + New command collectnewchecksums to calculate checksums missing + in the database. + +Updates between 3.0.1 and 3.1.0: +- add sha1 hashes to the generated Release files. + the changes semantics needed in the release.caches.db file for this + should be transient. This will only cause index files without + uncompressed variants to be regenerated once upon upgrade, but + switching back and forth between previous versions and this or + later versions will cause regenerating of unchanged files. +- internal changes of reading of text files (.dsc/.changes/Release/ + control from .deb). Should not make any difference with normal input, + and make the situation better with strange input. +- source packages now can have .tar und .diff lzma compressed + (still missing is support for lzma compressed binary packages) + +Updates between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1: +- the default for --export is now "changed", as the old default was + just too confusing most of the time. +- translatefilelist know also can convert databases with old and new + style entries + +Updates between 2.2.4 and 3.0.0: +- new config file parser: + * many error messages now with line numbers + * native support of comments (i.e. lines starting with # are now ignored, + instead of treated as ignored headers, # within lines is now comment, too) + * better support of tabs + * meaning of empty fields changed, empty now means nothing and not all. +- always parse the whole distributions file first before doing anything else + (avoids actions started in the wrong base directory and helps to catch more + disambiguities, may lead to the need of a valid config file for some actions + not needing one, though). +- check pull and update rules to not list any architectures or components that + will never be used, so typos won't go unnoticed. +- obsolete --overridedir and searching files in overrides/ directory by default. + This places are still search, but so is the configuration directory now and + future version will stop accepting --overridedir and not search in that + directory. +- added db/version file to document database format + (so future versions can warn about incompatibilities) +- cleaned up tracking handling a bit: + * retrack no longer created tracking data for distributions without tracking + * retrack only recreates usage data, not all data + (so .changes files and old versions are no longer lost when run) + also references from tracking data are now refreshed by rereferences instead + * removealltracks now needs explicitly needs distribution names + * tidytracks now removes all tracking data from a distribution without tracking + * clearvanished removes tracking data from vanished distributions. +- make update's ListHook relative to confdir (unless absolute) +- added removesrc and removefilter +- new format for contents.cache.db. Only needs half of the disk space and runtime + to generate Contents files, but you need to run translatefilelists to translate + the cached items (or delete your contents.cache.db and let reprepro reread + all your .deb files). Also format and meaning of the Contents-fields changed, a + rate no longer can be specified. + +Updates between 2.2.3 and 2.2.4: +- [SECURITY] fix bug causing a Release.gpg with only + unknown signatures considered as properly signed. + +Updates between 2.2.2 and 2.2.3: +- add support for binNMUs (i.e. .changes files having a Version: that is not + the source version). +- add zsh auto-completions script + +Updates between 2.2.1 and 2.2.2: +- processincoming can be limited to a single .changes file +- fix to support apt-methods stating Send-Config: false +- set GPG_TTY when stdin is a terminal to ease usage of pinentry-curses + +Updates between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1: +- fix mixup of the name of the --spacecheck option +- fix missing options in bash completions +- fix segfault when including changes without notificators + +Updates between 2.1.0 and 2.2.0: +- renamed cleartracks in removealltracks +- new notifier type for accepted changes files +- bugs fixed: + * not tidy tracking dependencies on package remove + * forgot to call some slow notifiers in processincoming +- new --wait-for-lock option +- check free space on update (new --spaceheck option to switch this off) +- extended the changestool helper (add, adddsc, addrawfile, setdistribution) +- processincoming changes: + * reports and error if a package is not included due to an already existing + newer version. + * allow ignoring of unused files and newer versions (Permit:) + * option when to delete rejected or faulty package (Cleanup:) +- include command names incldued .changes files like processincoming does + +Updates between 2.0.0 and 2.1.0: +- add --silent option +- change some status output to stdout instead of stderr. +- fix some uncessary exporting of index files +- fix bug in term parsing (for FilterFormula and the like) +- add Log: mechanism to log to file and execute external helpers +- example-script to generate a packages.debian.org/changelogs like + hierachy with changelog and copyright files. + +Updates between 1.3.1 and 2.0.0: +- add "adddeb" action to changestool +- fix bug in manpage ("accept" should have been "allow" for uploaders) +- new AlsoAcceptFor:-header for conf/distributions to allow more fine + controled which distributions to allow than just codename/suite + or everything (via --ignore=wrongdistribution) +- fail cleanly when getting a .dsc without Format header +- fix bug in non-libarchive filelist extraction on large lists +- add processincoming command to scan an incoming directory and add + packages from there. (this needed some refactorisations of other + code, so beware) +- add gensnapshot command + +Updates between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1: +- bugfix in changestool updatechecksums + +Updates between 1.2.0 and 1.3.0: +- now uses libgpgme11 instead of libgpgme6. +- remove --onlyacceptsigned switch (soon to be be replaced by something + useable, hopefully) +- only reject a package because of signatures if it only has bad signatures + and no good one. (Rejecting a package because of a missing key when + it would have processed without signature did not really make sense) +- new --ignore=brokensignatures to also accept packages with broken signatures + without any valid signature. +- Now looks at the Binary: and Version: fields of a .changes file. + Unless the new --ignore=wrongversion is specified, a dsc must + have the same version, and a .deb must have this source version + unless --ignore=wrongsourceversion is given. A .deb must also + contain a package listed in the Binary: header unless + --ignore=surprisingbinary is given. (A .dsc with an different name + or a .deb with an different Source than the Source-header if the + .changes file is still not ignoreable due to file naming issues) +- FilterList in update and pull rules now has a space separated list + of filenames instead of only a single filename. +- new Uploaders field in conf/distributions: + specifies what a .changes file has to be signed with to be allowed in +- new helper program "changestool" to preprocess .changes files. + +Updates between 1.1.0 and 1.2.0: +- improve message of missing files +- checkin now support .tar.bz2, .diff.bz2 and .tar.bz2 + (checkindsc did not care, binaries may contain tar.bz2 if reprepro + is compiled with libarchive and libbz2) +- fix bug delaying full Contents- generation + +Updates between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0: +- extended the (experimental) package tracking feature +- cleartracks removes files losing their last reference (unless --keepunreferenced as usual) +- fix bug of not generating a uncompressed Sources line in Release when no uncompressed + Sources file is generated. + +Updates between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2: +- fix segfault in non-libarchive code introduced with 1.0.0 + +Updates between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1: +- add clearvanished command +- cope with GNU ar style .deb files (when using libarchive) +- cope with strange control.tar.gz files (when not using libarchive) + +Updates between 0.9.1 and 1.0.0: +- reject some .changes earlier, delete added files + when checks after copying files to the pool failed. +- handle some signals (TERM, ABRT, INT and QUIT) a bit + more gracefully +- some little fixes in the documentation +- add predelete action to delete packages that would be + deleted or replaced in an update +- add new copy command to copy a single package from + one distribution to another. + +Updates between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1: +- fix bug in post-export script handling. +- fixed documentation in tiffany.example how to generate + .diff directories the new apt can read. + +Updates between 0.8.2 and 0.9.0: +- added --export= option and harmonized exporting of + distributions. (Now every distribution processed + without errors is exported by default, with options + for always, never or only export it when changed) +- added pull and checkpull actions. + Those are roughly equivalent to upgrade rules with + file:/path/to/basedir Method, but faster and a bit + more limited (files cannot change components) +- fix segfault of checkupdate +- fix including a changes file with source and restricting + to some binary distribution or to binary package type. +- add support to use libarchive instead of calling ar and tar +- added Contents file generation support +- now supporting libdb-4.4, libdb-4.3 and libdb3 + +Updates between 0.8.1 and 0.8.2: +- mark process list files and only skip those not marked + as processed instead those not newly downloaded. +- change the wording of some warnings, add some new +- new WORKAROUND part in the manpage +- add example bash_completion script + +Updates between 0.8 and 0.8.1: +- some bugfixes (segfault, memmory leak, manpage typos) +- enforcement of extensions of include{,dsc,deb,udeb} files + to .changes,.dsc,.deb,.udeb and new --ignore=extension to + circumvent it. +- support generation of the NotAutomatic field. +- added --ignore=missingfile to ignore files missing in + a .changes file, but lying around and requested by + a .dsc file. + +Updates between 0.7 and 0.8: +- unless the new --keepdirectories option is given, + try to remove pool/ directories that got empty by + removing things from them. (To be exact, try to rmdir(2) + them every time, which will only work if they are empty). +- Unless the new --noskipold is used, only targets with newly + downloaded index files are updated. (new = downloaded + by the instance of reprepro currently running) +- reprepro now always puts the checksums of the uncompressed + index files into the Release file, even if it is not + written to disk. This fixes some problems with newer + versions of apt. (Take a look at DscIndices to get older + versions of reprepro to please them, too). +- The export hooks (the programs specified as DebIndices, + UDebIndices and DscIndices) are now always called once + with the uncompressed names. +- to compile reprepro with woody without a backported zlib + use the -DOLDZLIB switch. +- reprepro now supports bzip2 output natively. (You can + still use the example if you want to call bzip2 yourself + instead of using the libbz2 library) +- new db/release.cache.db file storing md5sums of written + index and Release files there. (This can cause Release + file give old md5sums when the files are not what it + expects, but unless you manually changed them that is + a good way to find errors, and manually changing if + fragile anyway, so better do not do it but ask me + if some feature is missing overrides cannot offer yet). + +Updates between 0.6 and 0.7: +- new --ignore=missingfield,brokenold,brokenversioncmp, + unusedarch,surpisingarch +- Fix segfault when update file is empty. + (Thanks to Gianluigi Tiesi for noticing this.) +- improve manpage a little bit +- many little tidy ups + +Updates between 0.5 and 0.6: +- no longer set execute bit of generated Release.gpg files +- use REPREPRO_BASE_DIR for default basedir, parse conf/options + for further default options. (and add --no options to disable + boolean options again, same for ignore) +- new command createsymlinks (for symlinks like "stable"->"sarge") +- parse FilterList default action correctly +- putting .changes in a distribution not listed is now an error + without --ignore=wrongdistribution (and without + "ignore wrongdistributions" in conf/options) + +Updates between 0.4 and 0.5: +- starts of source package tracking +- add quick&dirty --ask-passphrase option +- SignWith's argument is now used, use "yes" or "default" to get old behaviour +- allow ~ in versions listed in .changes files + +Updates between 0.3 and 0.4: +- minor bugfix: no longer readd existing packages, when after a delete rule + a old package was found first. +- adopt short-howto to changes in keywords. +- many tidy ups and little bugfixes +- add Fallback option to specify another host to get mirrored files from +- default basedir is now "." i.e. the current directory. + +Updates between 0.2 and 0.3: +- Override: SourceOverride: replaced by (Deb|UDeb|Dsc)Override +- new command reoverride to reapply override information. +- sometimes be a bit more verbose +- new experimental iteratedupdate command , which is a variant of + update but needs less memory. +- to ignore Release signature failures two --force's are needed now. + +Updates between 0.1.1 and 0.2: +- _md5sums command got removed. New command to dump + the contents of the files database is _listmd5sums +- --basedir (alias -b) will no longer override prior + given values to --confdir, --listdir, .... +- fix nasty overflow bug +- write Release, Packages, and Sources files first + to .new variants and move then all at once. +- new Options DebIndices DscIndices UDebIndices |
