Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor
The manpage for apt.conf(5) should mention the possibility of having
"//" comments in the configuration file.
I searched for a long time to find a way to put a comment in my
configuation file (to explain to myself what it does), but in vain.
It was only later that I came across some example files that
contained comments of this shape.

Description:
apt - Advanced front-end for dpkg

libapt-pkg-dev - Development files for APT's libapt-pkg and libapt-inst
libapt-pkg-doc - Documentation for APT development
Closes: 211262 212183
Changes:
apt (0.5.13) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Document configuration file comment syntax in apt.conf(5)
(Closes: #211262)
* s/removed/installed/ in a comment in apt-get.cc
* Move comment for ListParser::ParseDepends into the right place
* Don't preserve ownership when copying config.guess and config.sub.
This broke builds where the clean target was run with different
privileges than the rest of the build (i.e., root) (Closes: #212183)
* On second thought, don't copy config.guess and config.sub at all. I'd
rather they always match what is in CVS.
