- Cleaned up the code (thx Dmitry V. Levin ldv@; including quite a few commits cherry-picked from http://apt-rpm.org/scm/apt.git): + to avoid compilation warnings altogether and some unreliable code; + to avoid using any old deprecated RPM API. - Reverted (for a while) new features with unreliable implementation introduced in 0.5.15lorg2-alt70 (dynamic resizing of allocated memory; some support for large files). Updated how the other changes look in the history (thx darktemplar@). (The soname has been bumped again.) - API changes: + Reverted inessential optimizations that caused incompatibilities with the Debian API (introduced in 0.5.15lorg2-alt70). + Made pkgCacheFile class lazy and immutable so that it better suits the expectations of modern libapt clients such as PackageKit and so that it is less prone to memory leaks and other programming errors. + And changed some other things (how functions return results) to avoid programming errors (which lead to the NULL dereference bugs listed below). - Fixed some recently introduced and recently discovered bugs: + APT now can handle packages without ARCH tag (such as gpg-pubkey, brought by 3rd-party packages) without a crash (thx darktemplar@ et al) (ALT#38381, ALT#38642). + Some crashes with incomplete indices (after the old apt-cdrom or for incompatible arch). - Increased the default APT::Cache-Limit (up to 192M) to make the "out of space" failure less probable for packagekit.
Sept. 21, 2020 Ivan Zakharyaschev 0.5.15lorg2-alt71.3
- Fixed copying release information from cdrom (thx Aleksei Nikiforov). (Closes: #37531)
July 22, 2019 Aleksei Nikiforov 0.5.15lorg2-alt71
- Introduced new function ListUpdate for improved packagekit support. (Note that the APT::Get::Archive-Cleanup configuration option has no longer any effect after this change. It was off by default.)
