Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.59-0.2
Severity: wishlist


when changes for many packages are listed, it is useful to skip over some
packages.  yet there is no searchable regular expression for the next
package.

for example, if i am upgrading fuse and gconf2 and zsh, i might not be
interested in gconf2 changes and want to go to the zsh changes.
there is no search term that will do that generically.

so if between packages you can put "======" or something that
would help.

even better would be preloading less with "======" as a search string,
if that is possible.

just a wishlist for a very nice program.

thanks.

You can configure the program to add headers with the --headers command-line flag or the headers configuration file setting and then search for "--- Changes" or whatever the equivalent is in the language apt-listchanges displays in on your computer.
