What this line means? Here are my thoughts/questions/suggestions:
- switched to libfetch in place of libftp
Thank you for this, Aaron! :)
- attempt to speed up file reading by reading /desc and /depends on demand
Nice.
- fixed the download progressbar
This is mentioned somewhere below IIRC.
- downloads are interruptable again - new libalpm function: alpm_db_search()
Should be removed.
- pactest: initial import, run make check to call it
- makepkg: recoginze .TGZ, .ZIP and other uppercase extensions
What does it mean? Does case or extension make any difference for makepkg?
- python: added a few casting functions - new function in libalpm: alpm_db_setserver() - incremented libalpm's sover due to new error codes intruduced by alpm_db_setserver()
Should be removed.
- added python bindings
Also java and perl should be added here.
- fixed problem when sometimes ^C was ignored
- new pacman option: --ask
Nice, didn't know about it.
- makepkg: bugfix for suboptions=('nostrip')
Should be removed as we don't have subpackages support
- - pipe and parse scriptlet messages. see man FrugalBuild AFAIK this was merged into our pacman3.
- ia64 support
Cool. :)
- gettext improvements
Should be removed because of: + - added gettext support below
- French translation
- pacman: display uncompressed package size by default on upgrade
Only if repo db contains this info.
- initial support for pkgdesc localization
How is this realized? I doubt about usefulness of this.
- - gpg support in makepkg Hmm... That was for package signing?
- - offer deleting a packages if it is corrupted Doesn't our pacman3 has this? I rememer feature request for this.
- - new pacman option: --noscriptlet for disabling install - scriptlets Why was this needed for?
-2.9.99.18 - makepkg now allows to inherit install scriptlets from a - scheme That would be nice. I remember a feature request for this.
- - added SBU variable to makepkg.conf What is SBU?
+ - fixed logging everything twice to pacman.log TODO: dan- i think i saw this happen when i installed things Isn't this line of patch corrupted?

What this line means? read submitting-patches in the pacman source, Aaron just added it a few days ago. It is just standard procedure for submitting things with

Thank you for this, Aaron! :) It is actually libdownload (as well as libarchive) now, so a note on

- makepkg: recoginze .TGZ, .ZIP and other uppercase extensions
What does it mean? Does case or extension make any difference for makepkg? It is configurable now.
- - added SBU variable to makepkg.conf What is SBU? It is an 'unit' (not sure what SB is) to allow people to know how long a package build takes with some package being a reference. Perhaps 'standard build unit' or something.
+ - fixed logging everything twice to pacman.log TODO: dan- i think i saw this happen when i installed things It wrapped the line.
Notice that I didn't really add anything...just removed a bunch of stuff. If anyone wants to sit down and comb the cvs logs and mailing lists for changes that have been made and compile them in a file, it would be much appreciated. -Dan

Yeah, this one is long so I'll take care of it when I'm at a real *nix machine. It might also be a good idea to break this apart into NEWS (>= 3.0) and OLDNEWS (< 3.0), because the 3.0 changes are longer than everything else at this point. I also want to begin sending cvs commits to this list... would that bother anyone?

Yes, that would be nice.

Not me. I'm used to this as I'm subscrived to sdl-cvs ML. Also this may spot some wrongly applied patch and is useful for searching with mail.. :) I suggest to add something like {CVS] after [pacman-dev] is each message's subject. Also, can you please version pacman-rc package like pacman-rc-3.0.1234-1, where 1234 will be CVS build number or date. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
