[Aptitude-devel] Bug#853033: aptitude: pre-fill options for forget-new dialog

[Paul Wise]

Package: aptitude
Severity: wishlist

As a convenience, it would be nice to pre-fill the forget-new dialog.
There should also be a way to disable the pre-fill by default.

The data pre-filling the dialog could be based on the current view:

 * Binary package list view
    * A top-level heading: search term for that heading (~o etc)
    * A section name: ~ssection
    * A component name: ~ssection
       (can't search for main/contrib/non-free components)
    * A package name: ^escaped-package-name$
       * Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
 * Recommendations package list view and flat packages list view
    * A package name: ^escaped-package-name$
       * Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
 * Debtags Browser package list view
    * TAGLESS PACKAGES heading: empty
    * A facet name: ~Gfacet::
    * A tag name: ~Gfacet::tag
    * A package name: ^escaped-package-name$
       * Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
 * Source package list view
    * main/contrib/non-free: empty
       (can't search for main/contrib/non-free components)
    * one-character prefix: ~eX
    * source package: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
    * binary package: ^escaped-package-name$
       * Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
 * Individual package view
    * A package name/version: ^escaped-package-name$
       * Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
    * Dependency field: name of selected package
       * Optionally source package
    * etc
