NEWS file for piuparts
======================
piuparts is a tool for testing that .deb packages can be
installed, upgraded, and removed without trouble. See
the README file and the manual page for more
information. This file summarizes the major changes,
particularly user visible changes, for each release.
Detailed change information can be found in bzr commit
messages.
This file is _deprecated_ now, see debian/NEWS.Debian instead!
Version 0.20, September 22, 2006
--------------------------------
When running external commands, use subprocess.Popen so that
there is no need for tricky (and therefore buggy) quoting
of shell command line arguments.
Version 0.19, September 8, 2006
-------------------------------
When reporting a bad symlink, show the target.
Version 0.18, September 7, 2006
-------------------------------
New features
Piuparts now checks for symlinks whose target does not
exist.
Option parsing code has been rewritten, and --help now
works better.
The chroot is now minimized before used: all unnecessary
packages are purged.
/dev/MAKEDEV, /etc/nologin, /usr/doc/cpio,
/var/spool/cron added to default ignores.
A version number may now begin with a + character. There
was a package that did that and piuparts crashed.
Version 0.17
------------
Bug fixes
The configuration files of piuparts-master/slave are
now documented in the README.
The Python profiler is no longer used. It used to be,
but that was a leftover from development (also known
as failure to read diffs before committing).
When testing upgrades between distributions, piuparts
now makes sure that the packages being tested are upgraded,
even if it means removing an old version of a dependency.
New features
Piuparts now checks for processes running inside the
chroot after it has installed or purged a package.
Because it uses policy-rc.d to prevent any services
from starting, no processes should run inside the
chroot after an installation or a purge has completed.
This check then finds packages that don't use invoke-rc.d
to start new processes.
A number of new default ignores have been added:
/etc/modprobe.d, compiled versions of debconf's Python
modules, papercut, ssl certificates.
/proc is now mounted (and unmounted) inside the chroot.
Version 0.16
------------
Bug fixes
The temporary directory for the chroot was not being
removed in all cases when running apt-get failed. This
has now been fixed.
New features
Added piuparts-analyze.py, which looks at new logs of
failed tests and compares them to logs of failed tests
for earlier versions of the same packages, and if so,
moves them automatically around. This saves a bit of
manual works. Thanks to Goswin Brederlow for the idea.
When piuparts creates a chroot from a tarball (option
-b), it now upgrades it before using it.
A number of new entries to the default ignores list.
Log files are now created with permissions that are
0666 modified with the process umask.
piuparts-report.py has been optimized somewhat.
Version 0.15
------------
Bug fixes
The dependency parser in piupartslib now understands
< and > (they're deprecated but one or two packges still
use them). It also now allows underscores in package
names because of the type-handling package.
Small fixes to the manual page.
New features and significant user visible changes
piuparts-master now understands Provides: headers.
A number of new entries to the default ignores list.
New option --keep-sources-list from John Wright.
Version 0.14
------------
Bug fixes
Specifications for ignoring some directories were buggy
and have now been fixed: /var/spool/news, /var/lib/cvs.
When testing a .deb file given on the command line,
if any of its dependencies were missing, the package
itself would be removed instead of piuparts reporting
an error. This has been fixed.
The check for whether a package is marked untestable
for piuparts-master now works.
New features and significant user visible changes
New program piuparts-report.py produces some "statistics"
about packages and their status with regard to testing
with piuparts-slave.
The chroot is always set up for piuparts, even if it is
unpacked from a tarball. This reduces problems with
out-of-date chroots and with using the pbuilder base.tgz
tarball.
Now ignored by default: /var/lib/firebird, /var/spool/news,
/var/lib/rbldns, /home/ftp.
Version 0.13
------------
Bug fixes
The configuration for apt-get (in the chroot) to allow
un-authenticated sources now actually works. There used
to be a typo.
New features and other user visible changes
The old run-piuparts.py script has been replaced by a
distributed system, consisting of piuparts-master.py and
piuparts-slave.py, plus a reporting script
piuparts-report.py. Since these are not useful for most
users, they're not installed on $PATH, but in
/usr/share/piuparts instead.
The slave part also runs upgrade tests between Debian
releases, which run-piuparts.py didn't.
Some additional files are ignored by default when
comparing the state of the chroot before and after
package installation.
