Bug#739854: libapt-pkg-dev: get list of changelog URIs
Package: libapt-pkg-dev Version: 0.9.15.1 Severity: minor Noted on another bug [1] and no doubt observed by anyone who has read the source of more than one frontend, libapt should contain a function to generate a list of possible changelog URIs for a package. Currently apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, and maybe others all duplicate this inconsistently. Suggest at least the obvious, minimal interface: // return a list of possible changelog URIs to be tried in order std::liststd::string GetChangelogURIs(pkgCache::VerIterator) using appropriate parts of apt-get.cc as that supports the additional check for changelogs being stored alongside package files under pool/ (although I have no idea whether any derivative is using that). This will also provide a central location to update in response to issues such as the recent change to metadata.ftp-master.d.o and https usage.
