apt-listchanges
===============

Default APT behavior only displays NEWS entries
-----------------------------------------------

Please note that even though apt-listchanges can automatically display
entries from both NEWS.Debian, and the changelog[.Debian] files during
upgrades with APT, the default installation enables displaying of the
NEWS.Debian entries only. To enable displaying the changelog entries
as well, please run:
  dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges


How apt-listchanges decides what to display
-------------------------------------------

See /usr/share/doc/apt-listchanges/what_to_display.html.


Sharing the status database between machines
--------------------------------------------

The status database, /var/lib/apt/listchanges, can be shared between
machines, see https://bugs.debian.org/658444 for a use case, using
NFS-mounted storage, as long as you do not run more than one instance
of apt-listchanges at time (otherwise the database might get corrupted
due to lack of locking). The '--dump-seen' option can be used to
examine the contents of the database.
