Branches for Precise

Author: Stefano Rivera
Revision Date: 2012-02-15 23:00:59 UTC

* Merge from Debian testing (LP: #926738). Remaining changes:
  - In Ubuntu, debfoster tries to remove packages with priority required
    even if MaxPriority=required is used. Setting MaxPriority to important
    reduces the number of packages to be removed as well as false positives
    generated by unwanted package removals. This can be dropped if a
    proper fix for debfoster is found.
  - piuparts.py:
    + Set default keyring name to ubuntu-archive-keyring.pgp
    + Set default distribution to precise.
* New patch add-existing-chroot-option.patch (LP: #926730):
  - add --existing-chroot option to piuparts, it is useful when you use
    pbuilder with "--no-targz" option, that creates a chroot within
    a directory instead of a ".tar.gz" file.
* piuparts.py:
  - Add to self.ignored_patterns: /run/.*
  - Unset DISPLAY variable before running commands in the chroot.
  - Read possibly remaining buffered output after a command terminated.
  - Run apt-cache policy on the packages to be installed.
  - Simplify keeping the reference chroot state: move tree info, selections
    and diversions into a dict, can be extended easily.
  - Fix --*end-meta documentation and actually enable these options.
  - Cleanup options and settings.
* piupartslib/packagesdb.py:
  - Restrict circular-dependency state to packages on the circle.
* piuparts-master.py:
* piuparts-slave.py:
  - Fix chdir in/out of the slave dir to work with relative paths.
* piuparts-report.py:
  - Reorder the list of known problem analyses and add a few new ones.
  - Correctly split + strip comma-separated lists.
* piuparts-analyze.py:
  - Also consider bugs that 'affects' a package.
  - Treat bugs without 'found' version as older than anything.
* Makefile: Support version number substitution in piuparts-*.py, too.
* README.txt: Document piuparts.conf settings used by piatti.git scripts.
* piuparts.1.txt: correctly reverse the description of --save-end-meta
  and --end-meta.
* piuparts-report.py:
  - add support for more static pages and add bug_howto.tpl, explaining how
    to file meaningful bugs piuparts-analyse understands. This page also
    links to the templates used for bug filing.
* piuparts-slave.py: make status message more useful by including the
  section.
