+Version 5.0 - 11 January 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
+
+- urpmf, urpmq:
+ o use xml info instead of hdlist when possible
+ o "urpmq -l" is faster (3x)
+ o "urpmf -l" is slower (1.5x)
+ o "urpmf --sourcerpm" is much faster
+ o see "xml-info" option in urpmi.cfg(5) to see when those files are downloaded
+ o new require: perl module XML::LibXML
+- urpmq:
+ o use rpm file instead of hdlist/xml-info when file is local
+ o use URPM::Package->changelogs (need perl-URPM 3.06)
- urpmf
o fix an *old* bug (since december 2002) making urpmf keeps parsed
hdlist files in memory (was fixed for multitags, but not for simple tags)
- all tools:
- o drop hdlist support (will be replaced with xml media_info)
o replace /var/lib/urpmi/MD5SUM with /var/lib/urpmi/MD5SUM.<medium_name>
(this will allow checking xml media_info is up-to-date even if we don't
update it at the same time as synthesis is updated)
- urpmi.update, urpmi.addmedia, urpmi.removemedia:
+ o drop hdlist support replaced with xml media_info
+ (this imply file-deps are correctly handled, see genhdlist2(1))
o drop option "-c" which used to clean /var/cache/urpmi/headers
o enhancement: only parse updated synthesis
- urpmi.addmedia
o do check md5sum of downloaded synthesis
(the check was only done on urpmi.update)
+ o new --xml-info option
- urpmi:
o do remove __db* on priority-upgrade
(fix regression introduced in 4.10.15)
o always prompt before doing a priority-upgrade transaction, even if there
is only one priority upgrade package (since there will be more packages to
install after restarting urpmi)
-- urpmq:
- o use URPM::Package->changelogs (need perl-URPM 3.06)
