- library:
  o fix urpm::download::sync() return value (used by rpmdrake) (#43639)

Version 6.9 - 9 September 2008, Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi
  o after installing in chroot, migrate back rpmdb db version to one
    compatible with the rpm in the chroot
  o fix orphans handling: an already installed pkg must not become
    "unrequested" because a new version of it is required
- fix display of downloaded urls with aria2 and metalinks
- fix handling --downloader when using mirrorlist (it was forcing aria2)

Version 6.8 - 4 September 2008, Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- fix proxy parameter for aria2
- remove rsync mirrors when calling aria2
- urpmi
  o enhance --bug: copy installed-through-deps.list in bug report

  o silence perl warnings (ie remove "use warnings")
- library:
  o modify urpm::download::get_content() to work as non-superuser

Version 6.7 - 3 September 2008, Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- really call aria2 with --max-tries=1
  (it helps a lot when trying to download some files (eg: reconfig.urpmi))

Version 6.6 - 2 September 2008, Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- call aria2 with brand-new --uri-selector=adaptive

Version 6.5 - 1 September 2008, Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- all tools
  o use metalink/aria2 by default (when available) when using a mirrorlist
- urpmi, urpmq
  o do not display all substring matches on stderr, only a subset of them, and
    suggest to use "-a" to use all matches (#38956)
- urpmi
  o do not write useless "foo (obsoletes foo-xxx)" in
    installed-through-deps.list (#42167)
- urpmi.addmedia
  o instead of discarding --update when using --distrib, give it a meaning:
    only add media flagged "update"
  o handle $URPMI_ADDMEDIA_REASON 
    (special reason to give to api.mandriva.com/mirrors/... to allow statistics)
- gurpmi2
  o nicer default window size
  o render nicely under matchbox during install
  o handle --update

Version 6.4 - 14 August 2008, Thierry Vignaud

- gurpmi
  o fix exit code if canceling when requested to select a choice
  o fix exit code if refusing to insert the proper media
  o notify callers when installation is canceled (#40358)

Version 6.3 - 14 August 2008, Thierry Vignaud

- gurpmi
  o better handle closing dialogs
  o fix not asking questions on error

Version 6.2 - 7 August 2008, Thierry Vignaud

- gurpmi
  o handle --justdb and --noscripts
  o fix/manage --urpmi-root
- urpme
  o add --justdb
  o sort the list of orphans

Version 6.1 - 10 July 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- all tools
  o fix broken ssh:// (regression introduced in 6.0)
- urpmi, urpme, urpmq:
  o fix orphans handling: suggested packages must not be detected as orphans
- urpmi:
  o handle README.urpmi in utf8 (but not other encodings) (#41553)
  o handle --debug-librpm
  o fix --parallel on local media (ie when synthesis.cz is not copied to /var/lib/urpmi)
  o fix --parallel --auto-select when one box is up-to-date but not the others (#41924)
  o fix creation of chroot with --root by using /var/lib/rpm/installed-through-deps.list 
    (instead of having it in /var/lib/urpmi)
- urpmi.addmedia:
  o make --mirrorlist with no url equivalent to --mirrorlist '$MIRRORLIST' (#40283)
  o --interactive: fix selecting "noauto" media (#39522)
- urpmq:
  o --suggests now displays the suggested packages, see --allow-suggests for
    previous behaviour (#39726)
  o add --obsoletes
- urpme:
  o --test: display "Removal is possible" if no pb (#40584)

Version 6.0 - 8 July 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- all tools:
  o handle "unrequested orphans" (similar to "deborphan")
  o statedir files are now in /var/lib/urpmi/<medium-name>/
      for eg: /var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.<medium-name> is now
      /var/lib/urpmi/<medium-name>/synthesis.hdlist.cz
    it allows easier medium update without using urpmi.update (#31893)
    (but with --urpmi-root, old statedir files are used to allow compatibility
    with older urpmi)
  o fix handling --urpmi-root <relative dir>
- gurpmi:
  o do cancel when pressing the 'No' button (#41648)
- urpmi:
  o "missing file" and "bad rpms" errors are reported asap
    and are fatal errors unless the user wants to go on anyway (or --force)
  o display a message "Package foo is already installed" when asking 
    "urpmi foo bar" and only installing bar (#41593)
    (requires perl-URPM 3.18)
  o set connection timeout for rsync as well (Anssi)
  o fix --replacepkgs when a same package appears more than once in urpmi db
  o fix displaying "files are missing" (regression introduced in 5.6)
  o tell bash-completion urpmi handles file names (#41699) (guillomovitch)
- urpmi.addmedia, urpmi.update:
  o fix --no-md5sum (regression introduced in 5.20) (#41237)
- urpme:
  o indent the packages to be removed
  o enhance error message "Removing the following package will break your system"

Version 5.20 - 2 June 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi:
  o --auto-update should behave like urpmi.update when mirrorlist is outdated
    (cf http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=86837)
  o fix --replacepkgs when a package appears more than once in urpmi db (#40893)
    (need perl-URPM 3.14)
- urpmi.addmedia:
  o add missing mark in "Do you want to add media '%s'?" message (from Nikos)
- urpmi.addmedia, urpmi.update:
  o fix checking synthesis MD5SUM
  o check downloaded synthesis/MD5SUM is not invalid HTML code, and try
    another mirror from mirrorlist (#39918)
    (useful for servers not returning a valid HTTP error)

Version 5.19 - 3 April 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmq:
  o --suggests is currently misleading, introduce --allow-suggests and explain
    the user that --suggests really means --allow-suggests (#39726)

Version 5.18 - 1 April 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi.addmedia, urpmi.update:
  o correctly handle media with no xml-info when using "xml-info: always"
    (#39521)
- urpmi.addmedia:
  o --mirrorlist: if the retrieved media.cfg is broken, try another mirror
    (#39591, it also workarounds #39592)
- urpmf:
  o check usage of -a, -! and the like instead of displaying the ugly
    "Internal error: syntax error ..."
  o in some cases (iso on disk), the hdlist is not available in
    media/xxx/media_info/, but we can use the statedir copy. So use it

Version 5.17 - 28 March 2008, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi:
  o nice error message when hal daemon is not running and is needed (#39327)
- urpmq:

  o have fatal errors on some errors that must not happen (eg: moving rpm from
    download dir to cachedir)

- urpmi:
  o display "%s of packages will be retrieved."
    (need perl-URPM 3.10 and synthesis built with @filesize@)

  o --test: only display "Installation is possible" when it is the case (#29837)
  o fix "using one big transaction" that occurs when using --keep 
    (#30198) (part of the fix is in perl-URPM 3.09)

- urpmi.addmedia

  o --install-src will remove succesfully installed src.rpm from
    /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/* (unless post-clean is 0)
- urpmf:
  o add special code for --files simple case, it makes urpmf 3x faster for
    this often used case

    hdlist files in memory (was fixed for multitags, but not for simple tags)
- all tools:
  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 do remove __db* on priority-upgrade
    (fix regression introduced in 4.10.15)

  o fix handling "post-clean: 0" in urpmi.cfg 
    (#36082, regression introduced in 4.10.16)

    install "valid"

Version 4.10.16 - 28 November 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi:
  o small transactions should have at least 8 packages

    (ie --split-level is now 1 by default)
- urpmq:
  o new option --requires-recursive (alias of option -d)
  o bugfix previous release: "urpmq --fuzzy foo" should display all "*foo*" matches

Version 4.10.15 - 26 November 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- all tools:
  o exit with code 1 after displaying usage (instead of exit code 0)
- urpmi:
  o with rsync, use --copy-links (to have the same behaviour as http/ftp, and
    so allow symlinks on the server)
  o fix "urpmi --install-src" (regression introduced in 4.10.9) (#35164)
  o fix --limit-rate (regression introduced in 4.9.12)
  o --auto-update is quite unsafe, but at least now it should be cleaner
    (ensure $urpm doesn't have media twice) (#36134)

Version 4.10.14 - 4 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- library:

    pubkey_main_updates is missing)

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

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

    (#28367)
- german translation
  o don't use non iso-8859-15 chars otherwise perl segfaults (#28537)
    (perl bug #41442)

Version 4.9.14 - 25 January 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi
  o fix encoding issue with "--bug ..." introduced in previous version (#28387)
- urpmi, ...
  o workaround no locale (eg: LC_ALL=C): when encoding is "ascii", 
    do not try to convert strings to this encoding, any encoding will do
    (#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
    package, eg: "skipping package(s) required by db1-devel via devel(libdb),
    since that virtual package is provided by libdb2-devel"
    (#27814)
  o do not document option -P (which is the default)

Version 4.9.13 - 19 January 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi, ...
  o fix encoding/codeset mess (using the magical
  Locale::gettext::bind_textdomain_codeset(..., "UTF-8") from new
  perl-Locale-gettext)
  o fix translating rpmlib messages (using URPM::bind_rpm_textdomain_codeset())
- gurpmi2
  o do display installation failed on file conflicts (#22131)
- urpmi.addmedia
  o do not display in clear text the password (when using -v or --debug)
- urpmq
  o when using synthesis do not download packages to get information.
    before this modification, it was downloaded iff one medium was using hdlist (#16772)
  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

- urpmi
  o fix handling removable media (bug introduced in 4.9.x) (#27854)
  o with "-v", display the package file copied to disk
  o use P (ie ngettext) to handle plurals
  o re-allow "urpmi --clean" with no arguments 
    (broken on january 2006, commit r36390) (#27747)
  o be more verbose with "-v"
- urpmi, urpmq, urpmf
  o "--media foo" and "--searchmedia foo" use medium "foo" 
    even if "foo" is flagged "ignore" (#27745)
- urpmi.addmedia
  o new option "--probe-rpms" which replaces "-f -f"
  o fix using dir "/foo/bar boo" and no hdlist (using *.rpm)
  o when using "--distrib <url>", have "xxx" instead of "xxx1" 
    for the medium name (eg: "Main" instead of "Main1")
  o when using --distrib, add noauto media with flag ignore 
    so that someone can easily use them by removing ignore
    (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, 
     but exits with status 0

Version 4.9.10 - 7 December 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

Version 4.9.8 - 6 December 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- urpmi.addmedia, urpmi
  o use "hdlist" just like "synthesis" when forcing only hdlist usage
  o "hdlist" is valid with "virtual"
- urpmi
  o don't say "Package foo-1.1 already installed"
    when in fact it is "Package foo-1.2 already installed". 
    Still display "Package foo-1.1 can not be installed" until we can do
    better (#27176)
- gurpmi (tvignaud)
  o don't ignore exceptions in callbacks
  o fix crash and really lock the urpm db

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

- bug fix release
- urpmi.addmedia
  o fix --probe-hdlist
  o fix "... with hdlist.cz" (only "... with synthesis.hdlist.cz" was working)
- urpmi

  o --quiet is really quiet (#14538)

Version 4.9.6 - 31 November 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- bug fix release
- urpmf:
  o handle --urpmi-root
- urpmi.addmedia:
  o fix downloading synthesis which is done twice when remote
  o fix downloading pubkey in media_info/

Version 4.9.5 - 30 November 2006, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

- all tools:
  o new option --urpmi-root that is similar to --root but also use rooted 
    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)
