- Add disttag to VerStrs (used by APT to identify package versions).
- Increase default APT::Cache-Limit in 1.5 times due to the extension of VerStrs
  (ALT#36775).
May 31, 2019 Aleksei Nikiforov 0.5.15lorg2-alt53.M80P.2

May 13, 2019 Ivan Zakharyaschev 0.5.15lorg2-alt53.M80P.1
- Add buildtime to VerStrs (used by APT to identify package versions).
  This data is used in several manners:
  * by CheckDep() (only when matching a dependency with a real package);
  * rpm_name_conversion() (only when making up an id for a duplicated package);
  * and by *CmpVersion().
  The latter needs buildtime to determine the correct upgrade direction and
  can be called through the API with some externally supplied versions.
  In order to honor buildtime without changing the API and its clients, we pass
  buildtime inside the existing argument. (Also fixes ALT#36528)
- Cherry-picked individual changes from:
[0.5.15lorg2-alt63]
- archtable:
  + added ppc64le;
  + added trivial arch translation (%_target_cpu -> %_target_cpu).
[0.5.15lorg2-alt59]
- Fixed crash on fail to read package file.
[0.5.15lorg2-alt58]

  some fixes for http download method (ALT: 18925)
  * Fix pipeline handling on http.cc
  (closes: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413324)
  (thx Otavio Salvador).
  * show error details of failed methods
  * if a process aborts with signal, show signal number
  * in http method: ignore SIGPIPE, we deal with EPIPE elsewhere
  (closes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/385144)
  (thx Michael Vogt).
