* Added another test as suggested by Nagy on the ML- a package both provides
for and is a dependency of another package. (upgrade057) * Removed man2html stuff from doc/Makefile.am. * Patch: improved depends checking in _alpm_checkdeps Nagy Gabor <ngaba@petra.hos.u-szeged.hu> * Slight revisions to pmrule.py to allow for a PKG_PROVIDES test. * Very quick updates to the pactest README. * Added rules to some of the newer upgrade tests. Note: upgrade055 now fails due to requiredby entries not being written packages that are dependencies in a provides role.
