Version 4.9.23 - 3 May 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi
  o always upgrade (-U) packages instead of installing (-i) them,

    (may be too verbose though)
  o display "In order to satisfy the '%s' dependency, one of the following
    packages is needed:" so that user can understand what dependency is used
    (need perl-URPM 1.62)
- for rpmdrake
  o make translate_why_removed() safe to call (cf bug #28613)

  o add --probe-rpms to replace -f -f

- urpmi
  o fix encoding issue with "--bug ..." introduced in previous version (#28387)

    (#28367)
- urpmq
  o rename option -R into --whatrequires
  o rename option -RR into --whatrequires-recursive,
    and don't go through virtual packages which are provided by another

  o when using synthesis fix using local rpms to get information
    before this modification, local rpm was used iff one medium was using hdlist
  o display a warning about no hdlist only for needed media, 
    adapt the warning to the option (for "-i", synthesis can still help),
    and tell which rpms and impacted

Version 4.9.12 - 10 January 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

    (nb: debug_for and srpm media are not added though)
    (cf bug #28050)

Version 4.9.11 - 12 December 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi
  o when "urpmi --auto-select" needs to restart urpmi because of a
    priority-upgrade, ensure it doesn't prompt an unneeded choice before
    restarting (#27527)
    (nb: the problem can still occur on "urpmi rpmdrake")
- urpmi.removedia
  o "urpmi.removedia -a" when urpmi.cfg has no entry still warn the user,

    better (#27176)

Version 4.9.7 - 4 December 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

    urpmi db
- urpmi:
  o handle buggy "list: xxx" in urpmi.cfg (when the list can't be found)
  o handle no "synthesis" together with "with_hdlist: synthesis.hdlist.cz"
- urpmi.cfg:
  o new per-medium field "media_info_dir:" which replaces "with_hdlist:" in
    most cases. It allows using either hdlist & synthesis when nor
    "hdlist:" nor "synthesis" is set (#16232)
- urpmi.update:
  o not so verbose by default, only display 
    'medium "foo" is up-to-date' or 'medium "foo" updated'
- urpmi.removemedia:
  o not so verbose by default, only display 'removing medium "foo"'
  o do not allow both "-a" and <name>, fix usage
- urpmi.addmedia:
  o not so verbose by default, only display 'adding medium "foo"'
  o do not add "hdlist: hdlist.<name>.cz" lines in urpmi.cfg,
    compute it from <name> (one can still enforce a file name)
  o do not default to --probe-synthesis but use both hdlist/synthesis

Version 4.9.4 - 24 November 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi.addmedia:
  o fix random ordering of media (using --distrib on a non-remote medium)
  o now inserting non-remote medium after first non-remote medium
    (instead of adding it as first medium)
- urpmi, urpme, urpmq:
  o add option --probe-synthesis (allowed with --use-distrib)

Version 4.9.3 - 24 November 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- bug fix release:
- fix handling multiple virtual hdlist files
  (the second pass was not done...)

Version 4.9.2 - 24 November 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- bug fix release:
- /foo/@86875:bar.src.rpm is not a url with protocol /foo/@86875
- /foo/chroot_tmp/... is not a url with protocol /foo/chroot

Version 4.9.1 - 23 November 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- cleanup locks handling, log locking, and don't say "urpmi database locked"
  when it's the rpm database that is locked
- urpmi:
  o add --nokeep (which overrides urpmi.cfg global option "keep")

Version 4.9.0 - 22 November 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi:
  o don't fork on multiple transactions
  o fix buggy print "::logger_id::" (#27026)
- gurpmi2 (tvignaud): 
  o fix unvisible content
  o prevent a dialog to have a height of several scores of thousands pixels
  o add support of --root
- urpmi.update:
  o don't write urpmi.cfg unless really needed
  o don't write md5sum in urpmi.cfg (bugfix)
- urpmi.addmedia:
  o drop support for "list" file
    (now you must have a hdlist/synthesis on remote server)
  o drop support for searching recursively rpms when there is no
    hdlist/synthesis. Only search in given directory (ie $url/*.rpm)
  o do not use list.<media_name> to store passwords, use /etc/urpmi/netrc
    instead. Also do have the url in urpmi.cfg, only the password is removed
  o change the format of list.<media_name>, it contains only rpm files
    relative to the medium url
  o deprecate "... with <relative hdlist/synthesis>". It is not useful anymore
    (nb: if you want to force using hdlist or synthesis, use --probe-hdlist or
    --probe-synthesis)
  o don't write urpmi.cfg twice
  o do not look for hdlist/synthesis in ../media_info/hdlist$suffix.cz (nb:
    with media.cfg, it will still use hdlist from media/media_info/, but it
    will simply use the hdlist$suffix.cz given by media.cfg )
  o --norebuild is by default (and deprecated): when the local
    hdlist/synthesis is buggy, do not discard it and go searching for *.rpm.
    Make it an error instead
  o fix building synthesis when using *.rpm (ie no hdlist/synthesis)
- urpmi.removemedia: much faster (since it doesn't parse hdlist/synthesis anymore)
- handle "empty" hdlist/synthesis
- generate names.<media_name> only when the medium is created/updated
- major splitting of urpm.pm in many modules
- major splitting of functions in smaller functions
  (eg: update_media was 988 lines long, has been splitted in functions shorter
  than 105 lines)
- big code cleanup/rework
- perl_checker compliance (very useful for such big code rework)
