(closes: #202302) -- Paul Seelig Mon, 01 Mar 2004 00:54:43 +0100 localepurge (0.0.60) unstable; urgency=low * Applied patch by Martin Quinson to include po-debconf support. Strikes me as quite ironic: localepurge is devised to remove unnecessary localization files and this patch adds further localization stuff to it... ;-) * The former portuguese translation is removed from localepurge and needs someone to work it over before it could be reintroduced. -- Paul Seelig Sun, 29 Feb 2004 23:36:30 +0100 localepurge (0.0.59) unstable; urgency=low * debian/postinst: put '#QUICKNDIRTYCALC' at line 101 between parenthesis to escape the '#' so that it can be properly echoed when configuring disk space reporting (closes: #210688). -- Paul Seelig Sat, 13 Sep 2003 13:42:59 +0200 localepurge (0.0.58) unstable; urgency=low * Added a more explicit warning to package description, README.debian and the man page explaining that localepurge interferes with the Debian package management and related programs resulting in possibly unexpected, but harmless, behaviour.

(Closes: #202214) -- Paul Seelig Thu, 24 Jul 2003 17:28:16 +0200 localepurge (0.0.57) unstable; urgency=low * debian/localepurge.config: Replaced "env COLUMNS=160 ps -p" with "ps w -p" to enable wide output of /bin/ps. This fixes the problem reported by Sebastien Bacher: Grepping for 'dpkg-reconfigure' at line 341 always failed because 'ps -p $PPID' truncated the string to 'dpkg-reconfigur'. Should be the same problem which Zygo Blaxell already reported in #161443 but which we both finally weren't able to reproduce anymore. (Closes: #201886) * /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-localepurge: Enable wide output of /bin/ps by replacing 'ps -p "$PPID"' with 'ps w -p "$PPID"'. * /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replaced "for LOCALE in $(ls $MANPAGEDIR | grep -v ^man[1-9])" with "for LOCALE in $(ls --ignore="man[1-9]*" $MANPAGEDIR)" as sugested by Alfie Costa in private mail to get rid of yet another grep call in favor of a builtin /bin/ls feature. * /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replaced "cat "$NEWLOCALELIST" | tr '\n' ' '" with "tr '\n' ' ' < "$NEWLOCALELIST"", thus getting rid of /bin/cat. Yet another fantastic hint of my alltime favorite shell wizard Alfie Costa: Thank you! :-) * /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replaced all "for file in $(echo foo/bar/*)" with "for file in foo/bar/*", thus letting 'for' do all expansion work itself. As well replaced all 'echo ""' with a simple 'echo'. Guess who? Yes, Alfie Costa again! :-) -- Paul Seelig Sat, 19 Jul 2003 20:59:47 +0200 localepurge (0.0.56) unstable; urgency=low * Changed localepurge/{showfreedspace,quickndirtycalc,verbose} debconf priorities from medium to low again.

Therefore i added a "sort -u" when creating double character locale names from underscore variations to prevent such situations. -- Paul Seelig Sat, 05 Jul 2003 23:37:04 +0200 localepurge (0.0.54) unstable; urgency=low * /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replaced "grep ^/" in get_used_space() with "sed 1d" as suggested by Christian Garbs (Closes: #199744). -- Paul Seelig Thu, 03 Jul 2003 00:45:51 +0200 localepurge (0.0.53) unstable; urgency=low * Replaced fast and inaccurate disk space calculation variant with another shell function which should now work with other locales.

(Closes: #198370) -- Paul Seelig Sun, 22 Jun 2003 17:13:14 +0200 localepurge (0.0.50) unstable; urgency=low * debian/localepurge.config: Rearranged debconf specific code and elevated all questions with priority "low" to "medium". debian/localepurge.templates: Arranged answers in such a way that verbose feedback is turned off by default. * Reworded some entries in "debian/localepurge.templates" for more clarity. * Made "debian/rules clean" remove "debian/tmp" subdirectory. I wonder how the loss of that went unnoticed all the time... ;-) * localepurge is (and should be) invoked by apt-get after package installations have been completed. Any error messages ocurring until after completion of package installations are output by actions taking place before localepurge is invoked and therefore can't be be moved until after the execution of localepurge. Turn off verbose execution to make sure to see error messages. (Closes: 110005) -- Paul Seelig Fri, 20 Jun 2003 18:47:46 +0200 localepurge (0.0.49) unstable; urgency=low * Replaced all occurrences of "find ... -type f" with shell equivalent "[ -f ... ]" in "/usr/sbin/localepurge", thus gaining some processing speed. Added a test "[ -h ... ]" as well to avoid dangling symlinks. Thanks to Alfie Costa! (Closes: #186211) * Got rid of awk usage by replacing it with a clever shell function. BIG THANKS to Alfie Costa again! (Closes: #186203) * Added choice of two functions for disk space calculation enabling to decide between slow but accurate or fast but inaccurate calculation of disk space changes. (Closes: #162138, #168432) * Where feasible, replaced /bin/ls with shell builtin 'echo'. Due to a suggestion by Alfie Costa - again! ;-) (Closes: #186206) * Added variable DONTBOTHERNEWLOCALE for those who don't want to have to bother about deciding whether to delete newly introduced locales. (Closes: #161443) * Now localepurge deletes superfluous locale and man page symlinks as well. (Closes: #190400) * localepurge doesn't delete complete directories with their contents but files contained in directories. Therefore the verbose output during file deletions, as output by '/bin/rm -v' is actually perfectly suitable for it's task. (Closes: #186127) * Won't fix localepurge's conflict with debsums. As already outlined in the README (please *do* read it!), localepurge is a hack and *not* integrated with Debian's package management. Users of localepurge *should* be aware of the possibility of negative side effects of package management related tools. (Closes: #186014) * The files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/* are dpkg's domain and i better won't mess around with it. (Closes: #166175) * Replaced all back tick command substitutions with "$()" constructs. * Updated /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist with more complete version. * Bump up Standards version. * Slightly reformatted debian/changelog for better readability. -- Paul Seelig Sun, 15 Jun 2003 22:13:51 +0200 localepurge (0.0.48) unstable; urgency=low * Added "env COLUMNS=160" when grepping "$PPID" output at line 342 of "debian/localepurge.config". A big THANKS goes to Tom Rini, Lloyd Zusman, and above all, Jeff Sheinberg for helping me to uncover the real culprit. (Closes: #162102, #165596) * Modified message displayed when checking system for new locale. * I won't add any code for purging localized debconf templates. The main objective of localepurge is not to get rid of any localizations but to regain some chunks of disk space when needed on smallish disks. The effort of inserting code to get rid of localized debconf templates would only add to localepurge's complexity and result in even more speed loss at the gain of pretty neglectable amounts of disk space (Closes: #99326). * localepurge is not meant to stay forever and every further activity making it more "user friendly" (instead of "admin friendly") strikes me as a waste of time. Therefore i won't add any description of each locale for the debconf dialog because it would only add to it's complexity. I'd really hate to receive bug reports based on errors introduced by efforts of making localepurge "user friendly". It already is too verbose anyway, IMHO. (Closes: #159242) * Get rid of the apt-localepurge transition package and added a Conflicts line to "debian/control". (Closes: #161214) -- Paul Seelig Sun, 26 Jan 2003 16:37:37 +0200 localepurge (0.0.47) unstable; urgency=low * Added a check for new locales which have not been considered by any prior configuration of localepurge. By default, newly found locales won't be touched at all until localepurge has been reconfigured for taking them into account as well. This should hopefully take care of a problem Tatsuya Kinoshita has made me aware of. (Closes: #155426) * Corrected localepurge.preinst message wording. -- Paul Seelig Mon, 5 Aug 2002 01:33:27 +0200 localepurge (0.0.46) unstable; urgency=low * Added a -verbose/-v switch to /usr/sbin/localepurge script and mention it in the accompanying man page. -- Paul Seelig Sun, 28 Jul 2002 23:39:39 +0200 localepurge (0.0.45) unstable; urgency=low * Removed Marc's mail address from changelog to prevent any possibility to attract unwanted spamming. ;-) -- Paul Seelig Sun, 28 Jul 2002 10:05:24 +0200 localepurge (0.0.44) unstable; urgency=low * /usr/sbin/localepurge: Rearranged the flow control constructs and limited the number of grep calls to accelerate processsing. -- Paul Seelig Sun, 28 Jul 2002 00:16:21 +0200 localepurge (0.0.43) unstable; urgency=high * /usr/sbin/localepurge: Disable calculation of LOCALEBEFORE and MANBEFORE if verbose mode is not turned on. Strange, that nobody complained about this before and that i didn't note this myself. A big thanks goes to Marc Haber. * /usr/sbin/localepurge: Replace calculations of LOCALEBEFORE and MANBEFORE based on time consuming /usr/bin/du call with a variation of a /usr/bin/df call. By courtesy of Marc Haber. -- Paul Seelig Sat, 27 Jul 2002 01:54:56 +0200 localepurge (0.0.42) unstable; urgency=high * In "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-localepurge": grep for "remove" string within $PPID (which happens to be apt-get's PID) and don't run "/usr/sbin/localepurge" if check is successfull. There is no need for execution if apt-get's action is not an install of some kind. Thanks to Michael Bertha for the hint at the $PPID! :-) * Adapted TODO.Debian and the BUGS section of the manual page accordingly. -- Paul Seelig Wed, 26 Jun 2002 12:51:20 +0200 localepurge (0.0.41) unstable; urgency=high * Add -debug/-d switch to /usr/sbin/localepurge script and mention it in the accompanying man page. * Corrected the date of the former changelog entry ... -- Paul Seelig Fri, 17 May 2002 22:45:29 +0200 localepurge (0.0.40) unstable; urgency=high * Corrected some misspellings reported by Tom Goulet . (Closes: #146899) -- Paul Seelig Thu, 16 May 2002 23:59:06 +0200 localepurge (0.0.39) unstable; urgency=high * Display output of '/bin/rm -v' when verbosity is turned on instead of creating the messages ourselves. Information is more accurate and complete this way. -- Paul Seelig Mon, 29 Apr 2002 21:12:11 +0200 localepurge (0.0.38) unstable; urgency=high * Put grep commands between "". (Closes: #143779) * Made it delete only regular files instead of complete subdirectories to prevent deletion of symlinks set up by update-alternatives which could result in breaking package installations. Actually i do think that update-alternatives should be made robust enough to gracefully handle such situations but unfortunately i don't speak any Perl to help making this happen. The downside of this change is that lots of empty directories are left over after execution of localepurge. -- Paul Seelig Sat, 27 Apr 2002 23:36:49 +0200 localepurge (0.0.37) unstable; urgency=medium * Before anything else, create default locale list with localepurge.config to make it available for the following debconf preconfiguration dialog if it doesn't already exist. Debconf preconfiguration is taking place before any actual installation of package contents, so we have to make the default locale list available right before the start of the debconf dialog. * Include a script named "reinstall_debs.sh" in documentation which can be used as a remedy for installing packages which have accidently been processed due to faulty localepurge configuration. * Corrected a typo in debian/localepurge.config. * Reverted default setting for deletion of localized man pages in debconf template from yes to no. I suppose it's a saner default to give the admin a chance to first decide on her own before giving a reason to complain. This maybe helps to prevent situations like in Bug#139796. -- Paul Seelig Sun, 14 Apr 2002 14:15:55 +0200 localepurge (0.0.36) unstable; urgency=medium * Added a warning to package description in control file, README.debian and the manual page to remind installers of this package of the fact that they might break their system by using localepurge without knowing what they are doing. I'm fed up with bug reports blaming localepurge for any random breakage. If it breaks your system due to your own requests then please simply don't use it (Closes: #138426, #139796). * Made debian/localepurge.config consider the default locale list we are shipping with this package so that a first time install presents a mostly complete locale range to choose from. Installing it on a fresh Debian installation (running Debian on a HP PA-RISC machine ;), i noted that this was not the case until now. * debian/postrm: Added creation of a temporary shell script containing a recipe for reinstalling packages which localepurge has been taking care of before and displaying a message about it. -- Paul Seelig Sun, 14 Apr 2002 09:35:58 +0200 localepurge (0.0.35) unstable; urgency=medium * Removed dependency on locales package because it somewhat opposes localepurge's aim to save as much disk space as possible. The purpose of the locales package's presence was to create a mostly complete list of all locales names to be used in the debconf dialog. But since a very complete pre-made list is already shipped with localepurge this shouldn't be necessary anymore although it will still be considered if present on the system (closes: #139804). -- Paul Seelig Mon, 25 Mar 2002 18:33:07 +0200 localepurge (0.0.34) unstable; urgency=low * Added a TODO.Debian file. Please read and help somebody! * Fixed a typo in apt-localepurge package description (closes: #135194) * Made debconf preselection consider already existing /etc/locale.nopurge when upgrading from and replacing the old pre-debconf apt-localepurge package (closes: #135197) * Since all locale names begin with lower case letters, appropriately adapt grep procedure for locales in debian/localepurge.config script. -- Paul Seelig Sat, 23 Feb 2002 16:59:24 +0200 localepurge (0.0.33) unstable; urgency=low * Ooops! I didn't remove "set -x" from the localepurge script which resulted in a lot of useless output... ;-) -- Paul Seelig Fri, 08 Feb 2002 22:11:00 +0200 localepurge (0.0.32) unstable; urgency=low * Made /usr/sbin/localepurge calculate total of freed disk space only when both locales and localized man pages have actually been purged. This fixes a scripting problem with the usage of an empty variable triggered when not having configured deletion of localized man pages. Reported by restless contributor Gustavo Noronha Silva . -- Paul Seelig Fri, 08 Feb 2002 21:25:39 +0200 localepurge (0.0.31) unstable; urgency=low * Replaced all combinations of "sort" with "uniq" by "sort -u". * Removed useless file debian/locale.nopurge from sources. * Added a convenient note about how to reinstall all packages containing locale data with a single command in README.Debian. -- Paul Seelig Mon, 14 Jan 2002 17:39:09 +0200 localepurge (0.0.30) unstable; urgency=low * Confirmation from Andreas Tille that stripping the trailing (not "leading" as written in the last changelog entry) ", " from locale listings fixes "Bug#128578". (Closes: #128578) -- Paul Seelig Mon, 14 Jan 2002 17:39:09 +0200 localepurge (0.0.29) unstable; urgency=low * Make sure that the list of locales to select is displayed on upgrade when no previous selections exist in the debconf database. This is just to prevent skipping of the selection stage during an update due to the recently introduced automatic preselection feature. * Disabled debconf debugging aids which i used for testing purposes by uncommenting the according entries in debconf config file. * Added sed command to strip leading ", " from locale listings. Otherwise this would confuse debconf e.g. such that it strips the last locale entry from the chosen entries or similar. I have yet to confirm with bug reporter Andreas Tille whether this is the needed correction to fix Bug#128578. So i won't close this one now. -- Paul Seelig Fri, 11 Jan 2002 22:59:16 +0200 localepurge (0.0.28) unstable; urgency=low * Added some actualizations to the manual page, the control file and README.Debian. -- Paul Seelig Thu, 10 Jan 2002 23:36:45 +0200 localepurge (0.0.27) unstable; urgency=low * Made deletion of all locale data a configurable value PURGE_ALL in debconf database. Not that i recommend its use... ;-) * Made "dpkg-reconfigure localepurge" automagically reuse locale settings from /etc/locale.gen as preselections if it has set the value NEEDSCONFIGFIRST in debconf database in a prior run. -- Paul Seelig Thu, 10 Jan 2002 23:06:59 +0200 localepurge (0.0.26) unstable; urgency=low * Now really update /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist instead of only the debian/defaultlist file which was not intended to stay *there*. Moved it to /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist now. * Made debconf config script create double character locale names (like e.g. "de") of all underscore variations (like e.g. "de_DE"). * Updated included /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist accordingly. * Preselect locale settings in debconf dialog based on entries in /etc/locale.gen if no previous locale values are present in debconf database (Closes: #128063). -- Paul Seelig Thu, 10 Jan 2002 18:07:30 +0200 localepurge (0.0.25) unstable; urgency=low * Made debconf configuration ask further questions about deletion of man pages and verbose output only after succesfully choosing some locales to keep. * Updated /var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist with more content. * Update of Brazilian Portuguese translation of the debconf template by Gustavo Noronha Silva . * Fixed a few typos in template file (Closes: #128368, #128369). -- Paul Seelig Tue, 08 Jan 2002 21:33:04 +0200 localepurge (0.0.24) unstable; urgency=low * debian/postrm: delete configuration file /etc/locale.nopurge when purging the package from system. * debian/config: check whether /etc/locale.gen exists and make sure to take its contents in account for configuration. * Split verbose mode from display of freed disk space summary and made verbose mode show all its purging actions again. * Added a debconf option for configuring both verbosity and summary of freed disk space separately. -- Paul Seelig Mon, 07 Jan 2002 18:12:57 +0200 localepurge (0.0.23) unstable; urgency=low * Made verbose operation mode output only what it is processing and report the freed disk space. It was just too much verbosity. * Added a debconf configuration option for toggling deletion of localized man pages as suggested by Gustavo ("principle of least surprise"). * Updated description in control file, README.debian and the accompanying man page. -- Paul Seelig Sun, 06 Jan 2002 00:10:28 +0200 localepurge (0.0.22) unstable; urgency=low * Changed all occurencies of "==" to "=" in "/usr/sbin/localepurge". to make it usable with /bin/ash (Closes: #127793). -- Paul Seelig Fri, 04 Jan 2002 18:47:46 +0200 localepurge (0.0.21) unstable; urgency=low * Clean up $TEMPFILE after configuration is finished. * Corrected the wording of debconf template file regarding configuration and verbose output. * /etc/apt.conf.d/99-localepurge has already been declared being a conffile in a former revision of this package (Closes: #127428). * Brazilian translation of debconf template by Gustavo Noronha Silva . -- Paul Seelig Wed, 02 Jan 2002 20:44:54 +0200 localepurge (0.0.20) unstable; urgency=low * Readded apt-localepurge's versioned dependency for localepurge in control file which i took out before for testing purposes but forgot to put back again... * Shortened verbose output messages and removed reporting on keeping of locale files retaining only information output about purges. * Made localepurge calculate and, when verbosity is turned on, show the disk space freed after deletion of superfluous locale files. * Due to popular demand, added removal of localized man pages from /usr/share/man directory as new feature. (Closes: #127333, #103744). -- Paul Seelig Tue, 01 Jan 2002 21:04:38 +0200 localepurge (0.0.19) unstable; urgency=low * Another debconf addition by Gustavo Noronha Silva which asks whether localepurge should give verbose output. * Changed some of the texts displayed by debconf for more clarity. * Thanks again to an idea by Gustavo, added a default locale list as "/var/cache/localepurge/defaultlist" and added a postinst routine merging it with a pre-existing "/var/cache/localepurge/localelist". * Added a note about reconfiguring localepurge with dpkg-reconfigure(8) to README.Debian and the man page. * Removed references to "/usr/X11R6/share/locales" from man page and included Gustavo Noronha Silva in the author section of both the man page and the README.Debian for his contributions. Thanks, Gustavo! :-) -- Paul Seelig Sat, 29 Dec 2001 16:58:14 +0200 localepurge (0.0.18) unstable; urgency=low * Readded localepurge conflict for apt-localepurge <= 0.0.10 in control file which i took out before for testing purposes but forgot to put back again... -- Paul Seelig Sat, 29 Dec 2001 00:53:02 +0200 localepurge (0.0.17) unstable; urgency=low * Gustavo Noronha Silva thankfully added the debconf support i never dared to bother about (Closes: #126629). Thanks! * Made it depend on debconf (>= 0.2.26) because of multiselect and locales (to get available locales) [Gustavo Noronha Silva ] * Extended the method for getting a list of the available locales on the system for the debconf configuration dialog. * Made some spelling corrections and other modifications to adapt debconf support to current localepurge version. * Removed obsolete check for /usr/X11R6/share/locale/LC_MESSAGES from "/usr/sbin/localepurge". * Made debconf store list of locales in "/var/cache/localepurge/locales" at first configuration run for later referral. This way it is possible to reclaim deleted locale entries in "/etc/locale.nopurge". This was largely inspired by Gustavo Noronha Silva again. :-) -- Paul Seelig Thu, 27 Dec 2001 19:29:48 +0200 localepurge (0.0.16) unstable; urgency=low * Since this package contains new components it's stuck in incoming anyway. So i'll just give in and rename the source package in the hope it'll still make it into woody somehow... -- Paul Seelig Thu, 27 Dec 2001 16:11:01 +0200 apt-localepurge (0.0.15) unstable; urgency=low * Added an additional warning to "/etc/locale.nopurge" to make users aware of the fact that activating localepurge by only commenting out the marker line "NEEDSCONFIGFIRST" without defining any locale file to keep will result in deletion of all locale files. * Made installer package "apt-localepurge" depend on "localepurge" package with the same or larger version in control file. * Looks like it was a bad idea renaming this package before the possible woody freeze because it got stuck in incoming. So i'll revert the renaming for the source package and will defer this for a later occasion. * Since the versions between 0.0.10 and this one never made it into the main archive here are the respective changelog entries: - Wed, 19 Dec 2001 19:36:43 +0200 * Hopefully fixed all lintian errors which are listed at "http://lintian.debian.org/reports/mPaul_Seelig.html". - Tue, 18 Dec 2001 23:40:11 +0200 * Added conflict for apt-localepurge <= 0.0.10 in control file. - Tue, 18 Dec 2001 02:49:35 +0200 * Made debian/rules clean debian directory from apt-localepurge subdir. * Fix wrong date (again) in debian/changelog... - Mon, 17 Dec 2001 23:58:10 +0200 * Renamed package simplifying its name by removing the actually quite pointless "apt-" prefix. * Created empty "apt-localepurge" depending on "localepurge" for transitioning purposes. * Made localepurge stop telling how to make it stop telling how to make it stop telling... (closes: #103048, #121314) * localepurge will still keep looking for LC_MESSAGES directories in /usr/X11R6/share/locale although only a few packages still install their locale data in there.
