* added --verbose option to aid in debugging dlocate
* fixed bug that broke support for multiple packages in most commands
* fixed '-s' command so that it only calls grep-dctrl once if there are multiple package names
* applied following 6 lintian fixes from era eriksson: (Closes: #513470)
* debian/control: revert dependency on awk; as per Lintian error,
it is in practice essential, and should not be declared
* debian/copyright: add copyright year; disambiguate license as GPL v2
(fix lintian warning)
* debian/rules: move binary-arch commands to binary-indep; do not ignore
errors from "make clean" (fix lintian warnings)
* debian/changelog: fix typo in 0.96.1 s/dancy/dency/ (fix lintian warning)
* debian/postinst: don't use explicit path for /usr/sbin (fix lintian warning)
* debian/postrm: add -e flag (fix lintian warning)
* Added bash completion rules. only one trivial change to the
patch provided by Danilo Piazzalunga (Closes: #223718)
* version 0.95 introduced a dependency on awk, which is an optional
package. the simple awk script has only been tested on my system
with gawk, but it doesn't do anything gawkish so should work with
mawk or original-awk. fixed Depends line.
* accidentally deleted cron.daily rather than updating it. restored it.
(Closes: 488222)
* updated postinst to generate /var/lib/dlocate/dpkg.list with tab-
separated fields, the same way that /etc/cron.daily/dlocate does.
also removed COLUMNS=200 because the postinst doesn't need it any
more than the cron.daily does.
* updated man page for update-dlocatedb to note additional author
* changed cron.daily to not use ionice if kernel version <2.6.13
* redirected stderr from ionice to >/dev/null to avoid error
messages if running under vserver or other environments without
CFQ scheduling (Closes: #456292)
* added Pawel Chmielowski <prefiks@prefiks.org> patch to
update-dlocatedb which re-uses any old data from the existing
dlocatedb. (Closes: #457572)
* changed separator character when building the search regexp so
that we don't end up grepping for everything. (Closes: #466662)
* while/read loops in bash are abysmally slow. replaced that loop
in 'dlocate -l' section with an awk script. vast improvement in
speed.
Note: this required changing the field separator in $DPKGLIST from
space to tab, so anyone who parses that file directly (nobody, i
think) may need to modify their scripts.
(Closes: #487471)
* finally close some bugs that were actually closed ages ago in
NMUs. (Closes: #314276, #337711, #83196, #54073, #63902, #84018, #67650, #78621, #132930, #91785, #100694, #101426, #129251, #132931, #129186, #76149, #43145, #43146, #45057, #42314)
* optimisation for '-S' and 'DEFAULT' commands. run locate once
only with multiple filenames on the command line. significantly
faster when searching for multiple filenames.
* the optimisation also means that $result is the exit-code of
all searches combined, rather than just the exit-code of the
last search to be run.
* minor fix to -lsbin. now excludes all non-files, rather than
just directories. also follows symlinks.
* added '--' option to make it possible to search for partial
files like -conf, -ls, and other '-*' that happen to match
dlocate options. did i already mention that dlocate's
arg processing really sucks and needs a rewrite?
* added Makefile rules ("make test") to automate testing of dlocate
output, and to remind me to update the version banner in dlocate.
* check for unknown options (Closes: #220351, #307371)
(NOTE: breaks backwards-compatibility for anyone who relies on
the old behaviour!)
* only print header for 'dlocate -l' if there are any matching
packages found. (Closes: #447140)
* fixed dlocate's stderr redirection so that 'make test' works.
(possible bug in bash - '>/dev/stderr' treated differently to '>&2')
* passed '--' to egrep so you can search for partial package names
like '-utils', '-tools', etc.
* fixed a bug in -md5check which prevented it from checking some
packages with spaces in the filenames.
* used '-r' ("--no-run-if-empty") everywhere with xargs.
(Closes: #452746)
* also changed numerous tests of [ -e $PKG.* ] to [ -s $PKG.* ]
to test for 'exists and not empty' rather than just 'exists'.
* removed output of double-quotes (0x22) surrounding $PKG to
make stderr output more parser-friendly.
* added simple script to test dlocate output prior to uploading
a new version (script is in source package only)
* corrected minor mistake in dpkg-remove man page.
* cron.daily doesn't need to have COLUMNS=200. this was fixed in dpkg
years ago.
* redirect error output from -lsbin to /dev/null. (Closes: #452297)
* made -lsbin output consistent with other -ls options
* added dpkg-hold, dpkg-unhold, dpkg-remove, and dpkg-purge to /usr/sbin.
simple command line tools that i've been using for years to
flag/unflag a package for hold, or flag it to be removed or purged.
They ONLY change the status of the package which will be noticed
the next time dpkg, dselect, or apt-get is run.
* wrote simple man pages for dpkg-{hold,unhold,remove,purge}
* really fixed bad handling of first arg this time (Closes: #380081)
* updated date in dlocate.1 man page
* call md5sum -c with '-' rather than /dev/stdin (Closes: #413804)
* can not reproduce 61790, and nobody else has ever reported anything
similar. probably some problem with cron on Lazarus' system at the
time (Apr 2000). (Closes: #61790)
* improved error messages from update-dlocatedb. also modified
script to comply with 'use strict;'. (Closes: #361196)
* fixed small bug in arg handling
* added more commentary and examples in the dlocate man page to resolve
various searching issues (both locate and egrep are different to dpkg's
shell-style pattern matching).
Also added 'SEE ALSO locate(1)' to the man page.
(Closes: #441183, #208425, #447141)
* man page for dpkg is in section 1. (Closes: #354648)
* added -lsman option to list full path/filename of man pages.
(Closes: #361125, #289351)
* added -lsbin option to list full path/filename of binaries
(Closes: #441109)
* Applied patch from Andreas Metzler: GNU locate has been split off to
a separate package. Adapt dlocate to work both with the new and the
old setup. (Closes: #451750)
* always pass '--' to locate. (Closes: #360824, #360824)
* can not reproduce bug 65974. my guess is that update-dlocatedb hadn't
been run. (Closes: #65974)
* error messages now go to stderr (Closes: 375271)
* first option is no longer a special case (Closes: #380081)
* 'LINES=40' isn't needed. removed. (Closes: #224947)
* shameful trailing blanks removed from -l output (Closes: #261733)
* 'dlocate -l' no longer outputs one header for each package name.
(Closes: #268288, #319251, #354285)
* added '/' to start of dlocate -man regexp. (Closes: #290562)
* dlocate now has --version and -V options (Closes: #223698)
* dlocate really needs a rewrite. it started as a Q&D hack and grew
beyond that. the remaining bugs need a rewrite to fix.
expect a rewrite from scratch soon.
* Non-Maintainer Upload.
* Updated Standards version to 3.7.2.1
* Depend on dctrl-tools or grep-dctrl (Closes: #314276)
* Remove -v from md5check routine so md5checking works with md5sum from
textutils (Closes: #318980)
* Change Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends since debhelper is called from
the clean target, this makes dlocate lintian clean.
* Apply patch from Sam Morris to return non-zero if a package is not
installed (Closes: #123777, #322290, #213292, 364318)
* Make database backups atomic (Closes: #372151)
* Apply patch from Nicolas Fancios to fix typos in manpage (Closes: #271328)
* Use capital letters in long description (Closes: #374475)
* Fix typo in cron file (Closes: #243620)
* NMU to fix RC bug
* Updated Standards version to 3.6.2.1
* Use debhelper v5, Closes: #337711 - Puts link in /usr/doc
* escape minus chars in man pages
* Non-Maintainer Upload.
* NMU, Craig Sanders seems to have lost his interest in this package,
last upload was in 1999.
* Upload sponsored by Thom May <thom@debian.org>.
* cron job conditional on package being installed (Closes: #83196, #54073)
* remove /var/lib/dlocate on purge (Closes: #63902)
* work with long package names. Patch from Peter Samuelson, modified to
limit length of output to $COLUMNS characters
(Closes: #84018, #67650, #78621)
* Patch for #84018 adds "Hold" to the list of desired states, too.
(Closes: #132930)
* dpkg -ls works with packages containing many files (use xargs),
patch from Peter Samuelson (Closes: #91785)
* Works with slocate, using dpkg-divert --truename, patch from Robert
Luberda, depend on dpkg 1.8.0, drop superfluous versioned conflicts
on very old dpkg. Once this is uploaded I'll ask the slocate-maintainer
to remove the "Conflicts: dlocate".
(Closes: #100694, #101426, #129251)
* depend on perl. (Closes: #132931)
* Use nice quotation marks in dlocate(1) (Closes: #129186)
* Add manpage for update-dlocatedb.8 (Closes: #76149)
* dlocate -l already mimics dpkg -l good enough
(Closes: #43145, #43146, #45057)
* fix lintian warnings:
findutils and bash are essential, depending on them is wrong
copyright: fix location of GPL
update-dlocatedb has no manpage.
Add versioned Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper >= 3.0.0 (dh_installmanpages)
Bump standards-version.
* update debian/rules from dh_make-template
* Use dh_installman instead of dh_installmanpages.
* Use DH_COMPAT=3, get rid of debian/conffiles.
* update dlocate(1)
* -l uses egrep and accepts extended re, document it in manpage.
* Old bug was already fixed: Generate initial database asynchronously
(Closes: #42314)
* make /etc/cron.daily/dlocate a conffile. (closes: 49458)
* changed Depends: dpkg >= 1.4.1.10 to Conflicts: dpkg 1.4.1.[789] according
to wichert's suggestion in bug 46614
* add closes line to changelog for all the bugs that were closed
in previous versions but i didn't get the closes syntax right:
(closes: #43194 #45239 #46614 #45057, #43145, #43146 #42234 #42314 #42210 #42248)
* changed 'dpkg -l' to 'dpkg -l "*"' so that the list includes purged
packages as well.
* replaced cron.d script /etc/cron.daily/dlocate (fixes #43194 #45239)
* added dependency on dpkg >= 1.4.10, (fixes #46614)
* added simplistic emulation of 'dpkg -l' (fixes #45057, #43145, #43146)
NOTE: this is NOT the same as 'dpkg -l' and i will ignore bug reports
which point out this obvious fact. it is a simplistic emulation, not
an exact clone. IMO, it is more useful than 'dpkg -l'. if you
disagree, then you are free to use the slower original.
* use a version of the fast perl script submitted by hallon@debian.org
rather than make, sed, and perl. it even finishes the job faster than
make can decide whether to update the dlocatedb file or not. (fixes #42234)
* this makes it viable to build initial db in background (fixes #42314)
* doesn't depend on make anymore.
* depends on grep-dctrl >= 0.11 (fixes #42210)
* updated dlocate man page (fixes #42248)
* added postinst to create /var/lib/dlocate/dlocatedb at install time (fixes #42120)
* bashisms in scripts, #!/bin/sh is bad - change to #!/bin/bash
* fixed bashism in cron.d script, use >/dev/null not >&
* wrote a man page for dlocate(1)
* really add dependency on make this time
* add copyright (GPL)
* depends on grep-dctrl, not dpkg-awk
* also depends on make
* made it use /usr/bin/locate.old if it exists - solves incompatibility
with slocate.
* fixed minor bug in dlocate option handling. should be all done now.
* i'll get it right eventually - should be arch: all, not i386
* touching the initial dlocatedb makes it fail an md5sum check,
so modify /usr/lib/dlocate/Makefile instead
* touch initial /var/lib/dlocate/dlocatedb
* Initial Release.
