2006-01-29  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c (do_help): Print the proper version
	giving it as an argument to printf, instead of printing 'VERSION'.

2006-01-29  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.14~.

2006-01-28  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.13.

2006-01-28  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Do not print the warning about a
	missmatch between gcc target machine type and GNU target system
	type if the actions are '-e' or '-i'.

2006-01-27  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Honor LD_LIBRARY_PATH when
	searching for shared libraries.
	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Don't recurse into package
	directories when searching for local shlibs files.

2006-01-26  Zefram  <zefram@fysh.org>,
	    Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

	* man/C/dpkg-query.1: Document the correct format string for
	the '--showformat' option. Update '-l' example. Lower case program
	name in title header.

2006-01-26  Christoph Maser  <cm@financial.com>

	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c (do_help): Fix typo ('-C' -> '-d').

2006-01-26  A Costa  <agcosta@gis.net>

	* man/C/dselect.1: Fix typos.

2006-01-26  Bastian Kleineidam  <calvin@debian.org>

	* man/C/dpkg.1: Document the --no-debsig option.

2006-01-26  Marc Haber  <mh+debian-packages@zugschlus.de>

	* man/C/dpkg-statoverride.8: Fix typo.

2006-01-24  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* debian/control (Section): dpkg and dselect are now in section
	admin, not section base. Correct info in the control file.
	(Standards-Version): Bump Standards-Version to 3.6.2 (no changes).

	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Fix typo.

2006-01-23  Vasilis Vasaitis  <v.vasaitis@sms.ed.ac.uk>

	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c (pid_is_exec) [OSLinux]: Change function
	prototype to take a constant string instead of a struct stat. Compare
	the filename pointed by the '/proc/<pid>/exe' symlink, instead of the
	stat device and inode numbers. Fix all callers.

2006-01-23  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Rewrite of the script
	to not use the path information from ldd anymore (which
	is unreliable in the case of symlinked directories and
	not necessarily available for biarch builds). Instead
	build an own representation of the search patch.

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Don't use \b to match the end
	of the version in filenames, use (?=[.-]) and (?=\.) instead.
	\b doesn't work in case the version ends with ~.

	* AUTHORS: Updated for new maintainance team
	* debian/copyright: Add myself as copyright holder since
	I also added a note to that effect with my dpkg-shlibdeps
	patch.

2006-01-23  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

	Support for architecture wildcards.

	* scripts/controllib.pl: Rename to ...
	* scripts/controllib.pl.in: ... this.
	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Add new actions '-e'  and '-i' that
	call debian_arch_eq and debian_arch_is, to check for architecture
	equality and identity respectively. Use debian_arch_fix instead of
	the duplicated code.
	(pkgdatadir, read_cputable, read_ostable): Move to ...
	* scripts/controllib.pl.in: ... here.
	(debian_arch_fix): New function. Fix normalized kernel-cpu input to
	legacy Debian architecture output.
	(debian_arch_split): New function. Normalize and split input into
	kernel and cpu components.
	(debian_arch_eq): New function. Compare two tuples for equality after
	having normalized them with debian_arch_split.
	(debian_arch_is): New function. Check two tuples for identity after
	having normalized them with debian_arch_split.
	(debian_arch_expand): New function. Expand the normalized input
	into all possible legacy Debian architectures matching the wildcard.
	(parsedep): Use debian_arch_is to check if the host architecture is
	part of the architecture listed in the dependency relationship.
	(showdep): Use debian_arch_expand to normalize the architectures for
	binary and source packages, so generated packages will be backward
	compatible in regard to architecture format.
	* scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: Use new dpkg_arch_is and dpkg_arch_eq
	instead of the hardcoded checks.
	* scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Likewise.
	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Likewise. Use dpkg_arch_expand to fill
	the Architecture field with the legacy Debian architecures.
	* scripts/Makefile.am: New rule to generate .pl from .pl.in files.
	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Update. Add new options, and few words
	about the format of the wildcards.

2006-01-23  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Add a missing '+' in the architecture
	validator regex.

2006-01-23  Bart Martens  <bart.martens@advalvas.be>,
	    Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

	* debian/contrl (Build-Depends): Add libsepol1-dev as a temporary
	workaround until libselinux1-dev has pkg-config support.
	* m4/libs.m4 (DPKG_LIB_SELINUX): Explicitly statically link against
	libsepol.

2006-01-20  Aurelien Jarno  <aurel32@debian.org>

	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Do not depend on libselinux1-dev
	in GNU/kFreeBSD.

2006-01-20  Lennert Buytenhek  <buytenh+debian@wantstofly.org>

	* cputable: Add armeb.

2006-01-18  Joey Hess  <joeyh@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Add possibility to specify a package
	type in the shlibs file and add a -t switch to dpkg-shlibdeps to
	specify the wanted type. Entries without package type will have
	type 'deb' and will serve as fallback if no entry with the correct
	type is found.
	* man/C/dpkg-source.1: Document new -t switch for dpkg-shlibdeps.

2005-10-11  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* man/C/*.[158]: Update references to dpkg and dselect
	man pages with correct section (8->1).
	* man/C/dselect.1: Update reference to debconf
	man page with correct section (8->1).

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Warn on -b if we add a file with
	special (i.e. exectuable or set{u,g}id) permission in the
	diff since this mode will get lost.

2005-10-07  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/controllib.pl (checkversion): Add generic check for valid
	version numbers.
	(checkpackagename): Add generic check for valid package names.
	(readmd5sum): Add generic function to extract md5sum from md5sum
	program output. This also fixes the handling of md5sum -b output in
	dpkg-source.
	(setsourcepackage): Call checkpackagename on new value.
	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Use the new checks added to
	controllib to ensure validity of version and packagename
	on build, too. Previously this was only done on
	unpack.

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Test on build if directories
	added by diff already exist with other type in the original
	source since we already tested that on unpack.

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl (addfile): Test if files are added
	twice. Should not happen but as we error out on unpack
	better make sure it doesn't.

2005-10-04  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Check build relation
	fields for correctness before putting them into
	the .dsc when building. This also normalizes the
	fields.

2005-10-03  Matt Zimmerman  <mdz@debian.org>,
	    Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: If gpg is installed, check
	the signature of the .dsc file before unpacking.
	Allow the unpacking to suceed if the .dsc is unsigned
	but error out if the signature is bad. If gpg exits
	with a code >2 (e.g. missing key), show the user the gpg
	output but continue.

2005-10-03  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Try to chown files extracted from
	a tar file to the uid and gid of the user. This should make
	dpkg-source -x safer to use as root. Also create the temporary
	directory mode 0700 to not allow anyone exploiting races
	between the extraction and the chown.

	* scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Warn about illegal architecture
	strings. This will warn e.g. about comma-separated architecture
	lists.
	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Also check architecture strings and
	error out if we find illegal ones.

2005-08-27  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Bail out with an error if parsedep
	found an error while parsing a dependency field.

2005-08-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.12~.

	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.11.

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Re-work the logic that handles the Files
	field when unpacking source packages; always remove the revision
	component and thereby allow -$rev.orig.tar.gz as well as native
	diff.gz or debian.tar.gz; improve the "unrecognised file" error to
	give the full filename, not the mangled suffix; check whether the
	revision has length, rather than is non-zero ("0" is false in Perl).

2005-08-17  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/controllib.pl (parsedep): Correct a bug that caused wrong
	architecture requirements in some cases, due to only "my"ing the
	@arches list in some circumstances.

2005-08-17  Colin Watson  <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>

	* src/processarc.c (process_archive): When copying the forward
	dependency tree, blank the version field of unversioned dependencies
	rather than leaving them uninitialised.

2005-08-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Fix a few problems found with the
	$diff_ignore_default_regexp value; it'd match any path with
	DEADJOE in it somewhere (or .cvsignore, etc.), wouldn't match
	an initial CVS or {arch}, etc.
	Took the opportunity to reformat the string and add some comments,
	which get stripped out before it's used.
	Added tla/baz junk ",,.*" to the list of filters.

	* lib/dbmodify.c (log_message): Call setcloexec() on the log
	file descriptor, otherwise we leak it to our children.

2005-08-17  Ludovic Rousseau  <rousseau@debian.org>

	* src/filesdb.c: Replace all references to "statusoverride" file
	with "statoverride".

2005-08-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* src/query.c (enqperpackage): Only output a newline between
	different packages and not after the last one.

	* man/C/dpkg-deb.1: Document -W/--show and --showformat.

2005-08-14  Bastian Kleineidam  <calvin@debian.org>

	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Fix typo.

2005-08-14  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: Give a warning when one tries
	to use -sd on a native Debian package.

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle absolute paths in the argument
	given for -b.

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Give more meaningful error message
	if first argument to dpkg-source -x is a directory

	* scripts/controllib.pl (parsecdata): Ignore trailing newlines
	in single paragraph control files.

	* scripts/controllib.pl (parsedep): Give a warning explaining
	the problem when failing to parse the dependency.
	* scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Pass the dependency field name
	to all calls to &build_depends() and &build_conflicts(), which
	both call &check_line().
	(check_line): Take an argument specifying the field name, and
	use it to output an error if the dependency list is not
	defined (caused by a failure of &parsedep()).

	* scripts/controllib.pl: Remove the %capit map, it's no longer
	used and everything uses the &capit() function instead.
	(capit): Uppercase all letters that come after a minus ('-'),

2005-08-14  Moritz Muehlenhoff  <jmm@inutil.org>,
	    Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>

	* scripts/controllib.pl (parsedep): Allow whitespace before
	version operators in dependencies.

2005-08-14  Goswin Brederlow  <brederlo@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>

	* scripts/dpkg-name.sh (stderr): Use shell redirect rather than
	/dev/stderr.

2005-08-14  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* debian/control ([dselect]Description): Remove "a" from the start
	of the description synopsis line.
	([dpkg]Description): De-capitalise description synopsis line.
	([dpkg-dev]Description): Likewise.

2005-08-14  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl (usageversion): Correct punctuation
	in copyright message and escape the @ so Perl doesn't treat it as
	an array reference.  Same for initial comment.

2005-07-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* src/remove.c (removal_bulk_remove_files): Call lstat() rather
	than stat() when removing a character, block or setuid file so
	we change the thing itself and not what the symlink points to.
	* src/processarc.c (process_archive): Likewise.

	* src/processarc.c (process_archive): Call ohshit() after finding
	out we don't have an errno, not ohshite().

	* src/cleanup.c (cu_preinstverynew): Blank the status information
	of a newly installed package that we aborted the install of,
	to avoid having packages in a not-installed state but with a version.

2005-07-16  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* src/filesdb.h (filenamenode.flags): Add fnnf_placed_on_disk flag
	to indicate that the file is now on the disk, and thus needs to be
	removed in cleanup if that happens.
	* src/cleanup.c (cu_installnew): If <foo>.dpkg-tmp did not exist,
	and the fnnf_placed_on_disk flag is set, we now remove the newly
	created file.
	* src/archives.c (tarobject): Set the fnnf_placed_on_disk flag once
	the rename to the final destination succeeds.  Add additional
	comments to the source so we know what's on the disk at each point.
	Fix up the #ifdef syntax to not confuse emacs.

	* src/archives.c (filesavespackage): Check whether the file we're
	going to install is going to be diverted, before whether it's in the
	new archive.

	* src/processarc.c (process_archive): When removing files that
	were in the old version of the package only, don't just call
	isdirectoryinuse(), actually check whether it's a directory first;
	otherwise we won't remove diverted things.

2005-07-15  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* lib/ehandle.c (run_cleanups): Modify the value of flagset
	according to the checkpoint mask and value after processing,
	otherwise we'll run handlers we didn't mean to.
	(pop_cleanup): Remove the flagset setting, we don't mix
	checkpoints and calls anywhere.

2005-06-28  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.11~.

	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.10.

	* debian/dpkg.preinst (create_logfile): Remove from preinst.
	* debian/dpkg.postinst (create_logfile): To postinst; I can't think
	of any particular reason it needs to happen before configuration.
	In addition, use numeric ids for the chown call to avoid requirement
	that base-passwd be configured first.

2005-06-28  Manoj Srivastava  <srivasta@debian.org>

	* src/archives.c: Look at the security context of the final
	destination, not the temporary file.

2005-06-24  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* po/POTFILES.in: Remove lib/star.c.

2005-06-24  Manoj Srivastava  <srivasta@debian.org>

	* src/archives.c: Restore selinux code incorrectly placed in
	lib/star.c, modified to fit in with tarobject.

2005-06-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* debian/dpkg.preinst (confirm_dselect_split): When set -e,
	following a command with "|| return" doesn't eat the exit status.

	* lib/dbmodify.c (log_message): Set the log to be line-buffered.

2005-06-16  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* lib/star.c: Remove, it's unused code and causes confusion.
	* lib/Makefile.am (libdpkg_a_SOURCES): Don't compile star.c.

2005-06-15  Bastian Kleineidam  <calvin@debian.org>

	* man/C/dpkg.cfg.5: Correct reference to dpkg(8) to dpkg(1).

2005-06-14  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Add missing "recent" from paragraph
	on backward compatibility.

2005-06-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* debian/rules: Check DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS and only add the option
	to enable SELinux if we're on Linux.
	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Don't build-depend on
	libselinux1-dev on hurd-i386.  The complete list is too long to
	maintain, so wait until we can put "[linux-any]" in here.

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle native tarballs with a
	Debian revision.

	* lib/dbmodify.c (log_message): Use the local time, not UTC;
	this is more consistent with syslog.

2005-06-13  Johannes Veser  <veser@gmx.de>

	* debian/dpkg.prerm (undivert_md5sum): dpkg-divert takes the
	diverted filename, not the destination.

2005-06-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* debian/dpkg.install: Remove start-stop-daemon rule, as that
	copies it rather than moves it.
	* debian/rules (binary-arch): Move start-stop-daemon into sbin
	my hand.

2005-06-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.10~.

	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.9.

2005-06-11  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Add .arch-inventory to default diff
	ignore regexp.

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: If two arguments are given to dpkg-source,
	use the second to set $newdirectory rather than creating it ourselves.
	It's an error to specify an output directory that exists.
	(usageversion): Document optional second argument to dpkg-source -x.
	
	* man/C/dpkg-source.1: Document optional second argument.

2005-06-11  Matt Kraai  <kraai@alumni.cmu.edu>,
	    Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Move the .orig directory out of the way
	during the duration of the script, moving it back again afterwards.

2005-06-11  Brendan O'Dea  <bod@debian.org>

	Support unpacking of "Wig And Pen" (Format: 2.0) source packages.

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: When unpacking a source package with a
	2.x format, allow multiple orig tarballs and allow the diff to be
	replaced by a debian.tar.  Additional orig tarballs are named
	"*.orig-xxx.tar" where the "xxx" is the name of the sub-directory
	of the source where they should be unpacked.  The debian.tar is
	unpacked as the debian sub-directory of the source and may contain
	binaries (which the diff can't) and patches (in a patches
	sub-directory) which are automatically applied during unpacking.
	(checkdiff): Move diff checking code into sub-routine as we call
	it multiple times now.  Allow uncompressed patches, cruft
	at the start of a patcha and be less strict about patched directory
	name (including allowing /dev/null).  Skip "Index:" header generated
	by CVS.
	(forkgzipread): Run either gunzip or bunzip2 depending on the
	filename, allowing us to support .tar.bz2, and .diff.bz2.
	(handleformat): Compare a range of major versions, as we now
	support both 1.0 and 2.0 formats.
	(def_dscformat): Generate 1.0 format packages by default.
	(setfile): Removed unused function.
	* debian/control ([dpkg-dev]Recommends): Recommend bzip2, it's
	not an absolute dependency until bz2 packages are supported by
	katie and policy.

2005-06-11  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* m4/libs.m4 (DPKG_LIB_ZLIB, DPKG_LIB_BZ2): Rewrite to match the
	way --with-selinux works.  Actually check whether the library and
	header files we need are available, using the configure option to
	determine whether the tests should be skipped (=no) or cause a
	hard failure if not present (=yes or =static).
	* lib/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Remove ZLIB_CFLAGS and BZ2_CFLAGS as
	we don't set these to anything in configure anymore (WITH_ZLIB and
	WITH_BZ2 are set in config.h) and users would set CFLAGS itself to
	supply missing -I arguments.
	* dpkg-deb/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Remove ZLIB_CFLAGS and BZ2_CLFAGS.
	* src/Makefile.am (dpkg_query_LDADD): Remove ZLIB_LIBS and CFLAGS_LIBS
	as dpkg-query doesn't use them.

	* m4/libs.m4 (DPKG_LIB_SELINUX): Add new test for the selinux
	library and header.  This works a little differently from the
	current --with-{zlib,bz2} tests in that if no option is given it
	still tries to enable it if possible.  If "yes" or "static" is given,
	that forces the requirement (configure fails if not present), if "no"
	is given the tests are skipped.
	* configure.ac: Include selinux test.

2005-06-11  Manoj Srivastava  <srivasta@debian.org>

	* lib/star.c (ExtractFile, SetModes): If dpkg is compiled with
	SELinux, test once whether SELinux is enabled on the system.  If it
	is enabled, find out the security context of the file from its path
	and either set what we think it should be or let the default security
	context for the process be applied.
	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Add libselinux1-dev as a build
	dependency. 
	* debian/rules: Compile-in support for selinux and link statically.
	* dpkg-deb/Makefile.am (dpkg_deb_LDADD): Link dpkg-deb with
	SELINUX_LIBS.
	* src/Makefile.am (dpkg_LDADD): Link dpkg with SELINUX_LIBS.

2005-06-10  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* lib/dbmodify.c (log_message): New function that writes a
	formatted string to the log file, opening it if it hasn't been
	yet.  In case of error, we print it and don't try to open the
	file again.
	(modstatdb_note): Replace log writing code with call to new
	log_message function.
	* src/configure.c (promptconfaction): Replace log writing code
	with call to log_message function.
	* src/help.c (log_action): Simplify to just a log_message call.
	* lib/dpkg-db.h: Remove extern definition of log_pipes, replace
	with log_message function.
	* src/main.c (cmdinfos): Change --log argument action to just
	storing the string in the log_file variable.
	(setfile): Remove function.
	* lib/myopt.c (myfileopt): strdup the string option argument
	before storing it, otherwise it just gets overwritten by the next
	line.

	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.9~.

	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.8.

	* lib/parse.c (parsedb): Check whether the file size is greater
	than zero bytes in size before trying to mmap or malloc it, if it
	isn't don't process the file.

2005-06-09  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.8~.

	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.7.

	* src/main.c (setfile): Make inability to open the log file a
	warning only, rather than bailing out; and if not running as root,
	don't even show the warning.

2005-06-09  Colin Watson  <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>

	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Include example debian/rules snippet
	to support older versions of dpkg-dev after updating to use new
	variables.

2005-06-09  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Clean up examples using .nf and .fi
	to produce a pre-like effect.  Indent the examples a little.

	we supplied our own md5sum.

2005-05-26  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* debian/control (Maintainer): I'm going to officially take blame for

	turned the Maintainer field into a Changed-By field.

2005-03-21  Marc Dequènes  <duck@duckcorp.org>

	* src/query.c (listpackages): Create a second filtered list of
	packages, sort that (rather than the complete list) and use that
	when calling list1package.  This means we only expand to the
	longest field in the result, not the database.  Hopefully the
	speed gain of only sorting a filtered list outweights the slighty
	extra computation time.

	* ostable: Create new table of operating system names with
	canonical GNU names and a regex to match against config.guess
	output.

2005-03-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* debian/dpkg.preinst (confirm_dselect_split): Check that dselect
	is running before bitching; it's easy to do and will stop this

	third columns of the non-Linux architecture to actually return a
	GNU name.  Sort the file into i386/linux-first alphabetical order.

2005-01-22  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* utils/md5sum.c (main): Correct md5sum according to the wishes
	of the Debian technical committee; when given a file on standard

	* man/ja/dselect.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
	* man/ja/Makefile.am: Install dpkg.1, dpkg-query.1, dselect.1
	* man/pt_BR/dpkg.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
	* man/pt_BR/dselect.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
	* man/pt_BR/Makefile.am: Install dselect.1, dpkg.1
	* man/ru/dpkg.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
	* man/ru/Makefile.am: Install dpkg.1
	* man/sv/dpkg.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
	* man/sv/dpkg-query.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
	* man/sv/dpkg-split.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
	* man/sv/dselect.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
	* man/sv/Makefile.am: Install dpkg.1, dpkg-query.1, dpkg-split.1,
	dselect.1
	* debian/dpkg.install: Install dpkg.1, dpkg-query.1, dpkg-split.1
	* debian/dselect.install: Install dselect.1

	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute files in the debian directory
	in the source tarball.
	(package): Create source and binary packages using dpkg-buildpackage
	and some magic to give us a directory containing only 'dist' files.
	Check the resulting changes file with lintian if we have it.

	* .arch-inventory: Apply l33t regex skills to ignore source tarballs,
	packages and the dist directory.

	* utils/Makefile.am (rootsbin_PROGRAMS): Install start-stop-daemon
	into the ordinary sbindir by default.
	* debian/dpkg.install: Install usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon into /sbin.

	* debian/control (Build-Depends): The source tarball now includes
	the generated gmo files, so there's no reason for the package to
	build-depend on gettext.

	* getopt/getdate.c: Remove unused file.

	* methods/disk/update: Remove {...} glob, as it's a bashism.

	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Fix dependency on virtual
	package `libncurses-dev'.

	* m4/funcs.m4 (DPKG_FUNC_VA_COPY): Wrap TRY_RUN and TRY_COMPILE
	calls in AC_CACHE_CHECK, missed when I copied it over and updated.

	* debian/dpkg.prerm: Give the script a bit of a spring clean,
	add a comment block at the top to serve as documentation of how
	prerm is called for anyone wanting a quick reference; this seems
	a reasonable place to do it as any.  Don't remove the historic
	info scripts anymore (dating back to 1.3.3) as we haven't shipped
	them in ages and 1.3.3's upgrade script did it anyway.
	* debian/dpkg.postrm: Equal spring clean and documentation comment
	added to the top.  Removed code to purge dpkg.cfg now we include it
	in the package as a conffile again anyway.
	* debian/dpkg.preinst: Equal spring clean and documentation comment
	added to the top.  Separated each discreet piece of upgrade behaviour
	for the 0.93.50 jump into different functions.
	* debian/dpkg.postinst: Equal spring clean and documentation comment
	added to the top.  Separated each bit of behaviour into a separate
	function.
	(move_info_directory): No longer create symlinks to the new location.
	(remove_info_symlink): Remove /usr/info or /usr/info/dir symlinks.

2005-01-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Add forgotten build-depend on
	debhelper, I picked 4.1.81 after reading the changelog as it has the
	first feature we need (upstream and debian changelogs in a native
	package).

	* man/C/Makefile.am (dpkg_source_aliases): I missed a whole bunch
	of manpages created as aliases to dpkg-source, put the rules in to
	do that.
	* man/C/.arch-inventory: Ignore generated aliased pages.

	* debian/rules: Rewrite from scratch to use debhelper, this breaks
	being able to bootstrap dpkg from its own source directory; but that
	didn't really work anyway.  You can always just 'make install' first.
	* debian/compat: Set debhelper compatibility to v4.
	* debian/dpkg.docs: List documentation to ship with dpkg.
	* debian/dpkg.install: List files that belong to dpkg.
	* debian/dselect.install: List files that belong to dselect.
	* debian/dpkg-dev.install: List files that belong to dpkg-dev.
	* .arch-inventory: Ignore build-tree, created by debian/rules.
	* debian/.arch-inventory: Ignore files and directories created by
	debian/rules.

	* lib/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Correct sharedstatedir to datadir,
	common-licenses isn't in /usr/com (whatever that is).

	* dpkg-split/Makefile.am (install-data-local): Use $(mkdir_p) instead
	of $(MKINSTALLDIRS), better style.
	* methods/Makefile.am (install-data-local): Use $(mkdir_p) instead of
	$(MKINSTALLDIRS) here too.
	* origins/Makefile.am (install-data-local): And here.
	* scripts/Makefile.am (install-exec-local): Here as well.
	(install-data-local): Likewise.
	* src/Makefile.am (install-data-local): And finally, here too.

	* scripts/Makefile.am: Automake doesn't create out-of-tree output
	directories for us, so do so if it they don't exist (but quiet, like).
	(do_perl_subst): Remove space in #! line.
	* dpkg-split/Makefile.am: Create out-of-tree directories.
	(do_perl_subst): Remove space in #! line.

	* lib/dpkg.h: Include locale.h, for LC_ALL which is expanded in
	a macro here.  This is needed if we build without optimisations
	as libintl.h won't include it for us.

2005-01-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* debian/pseudo-tags: Rewrite and clear up, put tags into a decent
	order and add a new [DEPENDS] tag to track dependency handling
	issues.

	* debian/shlibs.default: Clean up.
	* debian/shlibs.override: Clean up.

	* debian/dselect.cfg: Clean up atrocious English spelling.
	* debian/dpkg.cfg: Clean up atrocious English spelling; remove old
	configuration values as this file would be useful to be installed
	to describe its use.
	* debian/dpkg.conffiles: Add dpkg.cfg.

	* debian/copyright: Clean up, utf-8ify and add missing copyright
	declarations.

	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Remove SGML-related tools now	we no
	longer have docs in that format; increase gettext build-dependency to
	0.14.1; remove build-dependency on autotools-dev.
	(Standards-Version): Bump to keep lintian happy, we're conformant.
	([dpkg]Pre-Depends): Remove pre-dependency on dselect put in place
	to ease transition between woody and sarge where dselect was split
	into a separate binary package.
	([dpkg]Suggests): It's about time we suggested apt.
	([dpkg]Description): The dselect program is no longer included in the
	dpkg package, so don't mention it in the description.
	([dselect]Description): Rewrite as dselect is no longer the primary
	interface for package management, and that users may prefer apt-based
	interfaces.

	* debian/control (dpkg-static): The dpkg (and dpkg-deb) binaries
	have been linked statically to zlib for some time, and the
	dpkg-static package hasn't actually been created either.  Remove
	from the control file.

	* debian/control (dpkg-doc): The documentation shipped in the
	dpkg-doc package was rather incomplete and out-of-date, so was
	removed from the distribution.  Remove package from control file.
	* debian/dpkg-doc.doc-base: Remove dpkg-doc file.
	* debian/dpkg-doc.postinst: Remove dpkg-doc maintainer script.
	* debian/dpkg-doc.prerm: Remove dpkg-doc maintainer script.
	* debian/README.compile: Removed this file as it's both out of
	date, and entirely replaced by Build-Depends anyway for those
	that care about such things.

	* Makefile.am: Remove rules to install common documentation and
	licence under /usr/share/doc/dpkg, leave that up to the package.
	* lib/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Define COPYINGFILE to point to
	/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2.

2005-01-11  Colin Watson  <cjwatson@debian.org>

	* dselect/basecmds.cc (baselist::displayhelp): Revert to former
	Space/Enter/'Q' behaviour, so that Space leaves the help screen
	and Enter and 'Q' do nothing. It's dangerous to encourage users
	to press Enter or 'Q', since they commit changes in the package
	selection screen.
	* dselect/helpmsgs.cc (hlp_readonlyintro, hlp_recurintro): Update
	help text to match.
	(hlp_mainintro): 'Q' quits and overrides dependency problems;
	'X' quits without saving changes.

2005-01-10  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* configure.ac: Fix --without-dselect and --without-start-stop-daemon
	so they actually work, Autoconf was preserving the old value of the
	variable.  Always call AC_PROG_CXX otherwise things aren't happy
	as it gets partially expanded.

	* dpkg-split/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute mksplit.pl.
	* dselect/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute mkcurkeys.pl.
	* lib/Makefile.am (libdpkg_a_SOURCES): Distribute gettext.h.
	* scripts/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the scripts and
	README.alternatives, oops.
	(all-local): Build install-info from install-info.pl manually.
	(install-exec-local): Install install-info manually.
	(uninstall-local): Remove install-info manually.
	* scripts/.arch-inventory: Ignore install-info-stamp file we need.
	* src/Makefile.am (dpkg_query_SOURCES): There is no errors.h.

	* Makefile.conf.in: Remove file used by old build system.
	
	* lib/mlib.c (buffer_write): Remove cast from lvalue, deprecated
	in recent versions of gcc.
	* m4/compiler.m4 (SJR_COMPILER_OPTIMISATIONS): Explicitly set -O0
	when disabling compiler optimisations, as recent versions of gcc
	have some on by default.

	Now we're not using CVS at all, replace the old .cvsignore files
	with .arch-inventory files Arch can use to ignore generated files.

	* .cvsignore: Remove old file.
	* .arch-inventory: Replace with more complete regex rules.

	* dselect/checkunimp.pl: Remove unused file.
	* dselect/keys.c: Remove unused file.
	
	For at least the second time in dpkg's history, convert the build
	system to use GNU Automake.  I'm sure some future maintainer will
	come along and get rid of it again, but for now, Automake is the
	way forward.

	* Makefile.in: Remove old file.
	* Makefile.am: Replace with shiny Automake goodness, don't distribute
	TODO anymore; it's only useful for developers.

	include rules to build md5sum-static.

	* dpkg-deb/build.c: Replace USE_ZLIB with WITH_ZLIB.
	* dpkg-deb/extract.c: Replace USE_ZLIB with WITH_ZLIB.
	* dpkg-deb/main.c: Remove version.h include.
	* dpkg-split/main.c: Remove version.h include.

	with WITH_ZLIB.
	* src/help.c: Remove version.h include and replace
	USE_START_STOP_DAEMON with WITH_START_STOP_DAEMON.
	* src/main.c: Remove version.h include.
	
	We're going to move to using 'autoreconf' to generate the build
	scripts after a checkout and 'make dist' to get a clean tarball.
	Various files will get copied automatically so there's no point
	having them under version control, they'll still appear in the
	tarballs though.

	* INSTALL: Remove from version control.
	* config.guess: Remove from version control.
	* config.sub: Remove from version control.
	* install-sh: Remove from version control.
	* autogen.sh: Remove unnecessary script, just run 'autoreconf'.
	* release.sh: Remove unnecessary script, just run 'make dist'.

	The old 'configure.in' arranged for a bunch of code to be added
	to the bottom of 'config.h' with the assumption that it'd be
	included everywhere.  That's not good style, the file is only
	supposed to contain settings and not real code.  Put the code in
	real header files and source.

	* lib/dpkg.h: Include <sys/cdefs.h> and <stddef.h> if available.
	(INTERPRETER_MAX): Define to PATH_MAX or 1024 if not available.
	(DPKG_VERSION_ARCH): Define using PACKAGE_VERSION instead of
	DPKG_VERSION, which no longer exists.
	(ADMINDIR): Remove definition, define in Makefiles where needed.

	(CONSTANT, PRINTFFORMAT, NONRETURNING, UNUSED, NONRETURNPRINTFFORMAT):
	Define attribute markers used in function prototypes.
	(strerror, strsignal, scandir, alphasort, unsetenv): Define prototypes
	for functions in 'compat.c' if the system lacks them.

	the system lacks.
	(BUILDOLDPKGFORMAT): Define here.
	(_, N_): Include gettext.h and define friendlier macros.
	* lib/gettext.h: Include from gettext distribution useful header
	file that does the heavy lifting of enabling or disabling gettext.
	* lib/md5.h: Add code to define UWORD32 used by this implementation.
	* getopt/error.h (error, error_at_line): Remove printf format
	attribute marker from prototypes to keep the code clean.
	* getopt/getopt.c (store_args_and_env): Remove unused attribute
	marker from function to keep the code clean.
	* utils/md5sum.c: Let gettext.h (included through dpkg.h) do the
	heavy lifting and define the right things for us.
	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Duplicate includes of <sys/cdefs.h>
	and <stddef.h> along with attribute marker definitions to avoid
	having to include 'dpkg.h'.
	
	* configure.in: Rename to 'configure.ac' and rewrite from the
	ground-up with Autoconf 2.59 in mind.
	* m4/arch.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
	(DPKG_OS_TYPE): Code from old 'configure.in' to turn output from
	'config.guess' into an operating system name we recognise.
	(DPKG_ARCHITECTURE): Code from old 'configure.in' to look up
	CPU and operating system name in the 'archtable'.
	* m4/compiler.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
	(SJR_COMPILER_WARNINGS): Add my standard macro to enable additional
	compiler warnings and treat them as errors.
	(SJR_COMPILER_OPTIMISATIONS): Add my standard macro to allow
	disabling of optimisations.
	(DPKG_C_ATTRIBUTE): Macro to check whether the C compiler supports
	__attribute__, we assume that compilers that do ignore unknown
	attributes like gcc does.
	* m4/funcs.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
	(DPKG_FUNC_VA_COPY): Code from old 'configure.in' to determine
	whether the system supports va_copy or directly copying the values.
	* m4/libs.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
	(DPKG_LIB_ZLIB): Rework of old 'configure.in' code to allow the
	user to decide whether to use zlib, and whether to link it statically.
	(DPKG_LIB_BZ2): Rework of old 'configure.in' code to allow the user
	to decide whether to use the bz2 library, and whether to link it
	statically.
	(DPKG_LIB_CURSES): Code from old 'configure.in' to pick the right
	curses library on the system.
	(DPKG_LIB_SSD): Code from old 'configure.in' to look for libraries
	used by start-stop-daemon.

	(SJR_LINKER_OPTIMISATIONS): Add my standard macro to enable linker
	optimisations and allow them to be disabled.
	* m4/perl.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
	(DPKG_PROG_PERL): Macro to locate the Perl interpreter in the PATH,
	or allow the user to specify it with PERL=.
	* m4/types.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
	(DPKG_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T): Macro to replace obsolete AC_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T
	macro from Autoconf.
	(DPKG_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST): Macro to replace obsolete AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST
	macro from Autoconf.
	(DPKG_CHECK_DEFINE): Rework of old 'automake/dpkg.m4' code.
	* version-nr: Remove, version should be changed in configure.ac
	directly.
	* automake: Remove older Autoconf macros.
	
	* po/ChangeLog: Add new ChangeLog to describe changes affecting
	translations and their infrastructure.
	
	* origin: Move to 'origins/debian' so we can ship additional
	origins in future.

	Rearrange changelog parsers under 'scripts' into a separate
	directory so they also don't need to be renamed on installation.

	* scripts/cl-debian.pl: Move to 'scripts/changelog/debian.pl'.

	Rearrange 'methods' directory into the same hierarchy used when
	installed to save having to rename files on installation.

	* methods/disk.desc.cdrom: Move to 'methods/disk/desc.cdrom'.
	* methods/disk.desc.harddisk: Move to 'methods/disk/desc.harddisk'.
	* methods/disk.desc.mounted: Move to 'methods/disk/desc.mounted'.
	* methods/disk.desc.nfs: Move to 'methods/disk/desc.nfs'.
	* methods/disk.install: Move to 'methods/disk/install' and chmod +x.
	* methods/disk.names: Move to 'methods/disk/names'.
	* methods/disk.setup: Move to 'methods/disk/setup' and chmod +x.
	* methods/disk.update: Move to 'methods/disk/update' and chmod +x.
	* methods/floppy.desc.floppy: Move to 'methods/floppy/desc.floppy'.
	* methods/floppy.install: Move to 'methods/floppy/install' and
	chmod +x.
	* methods/floppy.names: Move to 'methods/floppy/names'.
	* methods/floppy.setup: Move to 'methods/floppy/setup' and chmod +x.
	* methods/floppy.update: Move to 'methods/floppy/update' and chmod +x.
	* methods/hd.setup: Remove unused method script.
	* methods/hd.unpack: Remove unused method script.
	* methods/hd.update: Remove unused method script.

	Consolidate the library code into one directory, so the headers are
	alongside the code rather than somewhere else.

	* include/dpkg-db.h: Move to 'lib'.
	* include/myopt.h: Move to 'lib'.
	* include/parsedump.h: Move to 'lib'.
	* include/tarfn.h: Move to 'lib'.
	* include/dpkg.h.in: Move to 'lib' and rename to 'dpkg.h', we'll
	set ADMINDIR, CONFIGDIR and LIBDIR in Makefile where needed as they
	can contain shell paths.
	* include: Remove directory.
	
	* AUTHORS: Add new file detailing the original authors of dpkg and
	the maintainers through the years.
	* COPYING: Update to include correct FSF address.
	* NEWS: Add new file that just points to debian/changelog for major
	changes between releases.
	* README: Add new file to briefly describe the package.

	Instead of scattering manpages throughout the source, we'll keep
	all of the original pages in one place under 'man/C'.  This should
	make it easier to keep track of them, especially translators.

	* dpkg-deb/dpkg-deb.1: Move to 'man/C'.
	* dpkg-split/dpkg-split.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	* dselect/dselect.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/822-date.1: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/cleanup-info.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.1: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.1: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/dpkg-divert.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/dpkg-name.1: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/dpkg-scanpackages.1: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/dpkg-scansources.1: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/dpkg-source.1: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/dpkg-statoverride.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/install-info.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	* scripts/update-alternatives.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	* src/dpkg-query.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	* src/dpkg.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	* utils/md5sum.1: Move to 'man/C'.
	* utils/start-stop-daemon.8: Move to 'man/C'.
	
	* man/en: Rename directory to 'man/C', reserving country codes for
	manpages that have actually undergone translation.  These are the
	"original" format, and like the strings in the code itself don't
	really belong to any particular locale.

	Continuing the spirit of having only one markup format for manpages,
	fix up the two generated from POD and remove the POD.

	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.1: Generate with pod2man and remove
	damage from the top, turning it into respectable nroff.
	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Remove POD documentation from script.
	* scripts/dpkg-scansources.1: Generate with pod2man and remove

	Remove the SGML files containing the same content as the manpages,
	but which were never used to generate them.  This avoids confusion,

	control is for.
	* doc: Remove obsolete, incomplete and out-of-date documentation
	including that licenced under the GFDL (ie the entire directory).
	* md5sum: Remove empty directory.

	* main: Rename directory to 'src' so it's consistent with 'lib'.
	* optlib: Rename directory to 'getopt' as that's what's really in it.
	* split: Rename directory to 'dpkg-split' so it's consistent with
	'dpkg-deb'.

Thu May 6 23:50:17 BST 2004 Daniel Kobras <kobras@debian.org>

  variable, fixing segfault on when "gcc -dumpmachine" returns a
  non-matching triplet.

Thu May 6 23:44:55 BST 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

  * dselect/helpmsgs.cc: Pressing 'n' repeats the last search, not
  moves down; pressing 'p' does nothing.

Thu May 6 23:39:59 BST 2004 Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>

  * man/de/Makefile.in: Install update-alternatives.8
  * man/de/update-alternatives.8: Translated into German.

Thu May 6 23:23:10 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * utils/md5sum.1, man/es/md5sum.1, man/de/md5sum.1, men/ja/md5sum.1:
  Correct "et al" to "et al."
  * main/main.c, man/en/dpkg.8.sgml: Correct description of
  --compare-versions command to describe versions as "empty" rather
  than "missing" or "no version" as "" has to be passed.

Sun May  2 10:22:25 CEST 2004 Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@debian.org>

    Bugs.

Sun May  2 10:04:25 CEST 2004 Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@debian.org>

    out the correct field name.

Tue Apr 27 21:49:25 BST 2004 Ruben Porras <nahoo82@telefonica.net>

  * man/es/Makefile.in: Install it.

Tue Apr 27 19:47:37 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl (rewrite_gnu): Add a new regexp for
  parsing i386-gnu style triplets on the Hurd.

Tue Apr 27 19:23:01 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * main/dpkg.8: Correct reference to non-existant --force-reinstreq
  option to --force-remove-reinstreq.

Tue Apr 27 19:01:28 BST 2004 Ruben Porras <nahoo82@telefonica.net>

  * man/es/start-stop-daemon.8, man/es/dselect.8, man/es/dpkg.8,
  man/es/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.8, man/es/dpkg-deb.1,
  man/es/dpkg-scanpackages.8: Updated Spanish manpages.

Mon Apr 26 20:28:58 CEST 2004 Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl, archtable: Add AMD64/x86_64 support.
    Also reindent archtable so the columns line up nicely.

Mon Apr 26 18:53:15 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * configure.in: Put the man page directories in alphabetical order.
  * man/Makefile.in: Likewise
  * debian/rules: Extract manual page directories from Makefile.in and
  use that list instead of hardcoding them.

Sun Apr 25 19:00:20 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * version-nr, debian/changelog: Bump version to 1.10.22.

Sun Apr 25 18:02:34 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * scripts/install-info.pl: Add --dir-file option for compatibility
  with GNU install-info.  Correct code to break infinite loop.

Sun Apr 25 17:57:46 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * scripts/dpkg-divert.8: Document that diverting shared libraries
  can be troublesome when combined with ldconfig.

Sun Apr 25 17:53:06 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.1: This script no longer checks for
  build-essential, so don't document that it does.

Sun Apr 25 17:45:47 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: Group the -o expression to find
  using braces.

Sun Apr 25 12:27:38 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  * main/archive.c: make block and char devices work properly when
    extracting.  mknod can create other kinds of devices than just char
    and block devices, so we need to pass the type of device to mknod in
    the mode argument.

Sun Apr 25 00:46:38 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  * split/mksplit.pl: cut off anything after the first piece of whitespace
    when getting the md5sum, since we now get a different-formatted md5sum
    back.  (It now has a trailing dash.)

Sun Apr 25 00:23:27 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  * lib/dump.c: Terminate buffer in order to not display garbage when
    displaying dependency fields.
	
Sun Apr 25 00:12:27 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  * main/query.c, dpkg-deb/main.c: Fix up the query format to be
    consistent with what the library expects.  Remove the pkg: prefix from
    the default showformat.
	
Sun Apr 25 00:06:27 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-statoverride.pl: Make sure the permissions passed to
    dpkg-statoverride are numeric.

Sat Apr 24 23:11:12 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  * include/dpkg.h.in, lib/ehandle.c, lib/myopt.c: Failed opening of
    configuration files are no longer a fatal error.  Thanks to Max
    Vozeler <max@hinterhof.net> for the patch.

Mon Apr 19 12:24:40 CEST 2004 Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Set LC_ALL to C before spawning off dpkg
  --search, to avoid searching on localized strings.

Sun Mar 28 18:32:19 CEST 2004 Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>

  * po/ca.po: Update Catalan translation.

Fri Mar 12 19:02:21 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * main/remove.c (removal_bulk_remove_configfiles): Don't change the
  "previous pointer" pointer if we remove the node from the linked list,
  ensuring that if the next node is to be removed the right thing will
  happen.

  This corrects the bug where every second shared or diverted conffile
  would be incorrectly deleted by dpkg.
 
Fri Mar 12 15:05:52 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Don't require an argument for -V (version).

  * version-nr, debian/changelog: Bump version to 1.10.21.

Thu Mar 11 11:23:09 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * man/ja/Makefile.in: Add new pages to Makefile.in so they get
  installed.

Thu Mar 11 11:18:29 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Revert change suggested by Javier
  Fernandez-Sanguino Pena, and don't echo a blank line when dealing
  with PGP.  PGP itself will fail if we do this, it's needed to
  satisfy pgpgp, which quite frankly is a bug in pgpgp's emulation
  of pgp.
  
Thu Mar  8 01:10:00 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  * po/pt_BR.po: Fix typo.

Thu Mar  8 01:10:00 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  per patches in #218713 

Thu Mar  8 00:54:00 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  * man/ja/{dpkg-architecture.1,dpkg-query.8,dselect.8}:  Update Japanese
    translation.  Closes: #224616

Thu Mar  8 00:38:00 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

  * release.sh: Remove .svn directories as well.

Mon Mar  8 19:37:00 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

Mon Mar  8 18:55:13 GMT 2004 Brian M. Carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.ath.cx>

  * utils/md5sum.c: Don't print offending lines as they may not be NULL
  terminated.

Mon Mar  8 18:34:16 GMT 2004 Goswin Brederlow <brederlo@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>

  * lib/parse.c, main/processarc.c: Store Architecture in the status file
  and don't remove it when processing.  This is a first step towards
  multi-arch support in a future release of Debian.

Mon Mar  8 18:28:07 GMT 2004 Robert Millan <rmh@debian.org>

  * archtable, configure.in, scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Update
  support for Debian FreeBSD.

Mon Mar  8 18:20:38 GMT 2004 Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena <jfs@computer.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Add blank line to .dsc before
  signing with PGP.

Mon Mar  8 18:10:06 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * debian/control: Remove duplicated uploaders field and add myself
  to the one that's left.

Mon Mar  8 16:49:13 GMT 2004 Christian Haggstrom <chm@c00.info>

  * lib/mlib.c: Remove extraneous %s in ohshite() call when out of
  disk space so that condition gets handled correctly and not with
  a SEGV.

Mon Mar  8 10:14:27 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
 
  * dselect/methlist.cc, dselect/pkgdisplay.cc: Set the total display width
  to the maximum of TOTAL_LIST_WIDTH and COLS, improving display on wide
  terminals.

Thu Mar  4 13:28:11 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * lib/tarfn.c: Copy the Name and LinkName elements and ensure they
  are NULL-terminated, freeing these copies before returning.  The
  tar spec doesn't require a NULL byte if the filename is exactly
  100 characters long.

Sun Feb 29 21:56:25 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Push build-conflicts errors into
  @conflicts instead of @unmet, this looks like an accidental error
  introduced by bad copy&pasteing.

Mon Mar  8 17:26:06 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * debian/changelog, version-nr: Bump to 1.10.19.

Thu Feb 26 01:48:15 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * main/processarc.c (process_archive): Copy code from main/remove.c
  to ensure that hardlinks to devices, setuid files or setgid files
  cannot be stashed away in the hope that they become compromisable
  in the future.  This was handled when removing a package, but not
  when upgrading one.

Thu Feb 26 01:23:13 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

  * version-nr: Bump to 1.10.18.1

Mon Feb 23 22:46:21 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>

Tue Jan 27 20:08:12 CST 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/control: Update dpkg conflicts to << 1.10, instead of 1.9.

Mon Oct 27 13:39:56 CST 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * version-nr, debian/changelog: Rebuild, tagging and releasing correctly
    from cvs this time.

    reference ${dpkg:Version}.

Mon Oct 27 18:45:19 CET 2003 Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>

  * po/ca.po: Update Catalan translation and recode to UTF-8.

Mon Oct 27 11:06:25 CST 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/dpkg.postinst: Don't assume /usr/info/dir exists if /usr/info
    does.

Mon Oct 27 10:57:54 CST 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Add .#* to the default ignore filter.

Mon Oct 27 09:49:29 CST 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-scanpackages.pl: Add -u -a<arch> commands.

Mon Oct 27 09:42:57 CST 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Set $reduce_arch when calling parsedep.

Sun Oct 26 19:29:16 CST 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: s/dpkg-checkbuild/dpkg-checkbuilddeps/
    in usage.
  * version-nr: Bump to 1.10.17.
  * debian/changelog: Make the date UNRELEASED.

Sun Oct 26 14:55:53 CET 2003 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@wiggy.net>

  * dselect/pkgdepcon.cc: change return value for pkgdepcon() to indicate
    a conflict resolution is needed when dealing with autoselected
    recommends

Sat Oct 25 15:46:16 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/changelog: Tag for 1.10.16 release date(for real this time).

Sat Oct 25 15:45:48 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/install-info.pl: Change formatting of info.dir.

Sat Oct 25 15:04:41 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/mlib.c, include/dpkg.h.in, utils/md5sum.c: Change limit and the
    return value for buffer_copy to off_t, which fixes large file handling.

Sat Oct 25 15:02:27 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * almost all .c files: Almost *EVERY* damn file was including config.h in
    the wrong spot.  After making it the first include, then
    off_t/size_t/etc could actually be redefined to be 64-bit compatible.

Sat Oct 25 12:47:22 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Fix dpkg-checkbuilddeps calling of
    parsedep.  It wasn't setting use_arch.

Tue Sep 23 12:20:35 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * configure.in: Add man/es/Makefile.
  
Tue Sep 23 12:12:38 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/changelog: Set release date for 1.10.16.

Sat Sep 20 21:17:45 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * utils/md5sum.c: Fix handling of large files.

Sat Sep 20 20:42:35 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * man/*
    * Imported several translated manpages, from debian-doc cvs:

       deb.5 dpkg-checkbuilddeps.1 dpkg-deb.1 dpkg-divert.8 dpkg-name.1

     * French: deb.5
     * Portuguese: dpkg.8 dselect.8
  * main/dpkg.8: -O had an inverted word.
  * po/cz.po: Improve translation of: "dpkg - warning: ignoring request to
    remove %s which isn't installed."
  * po/it.po: Fix missing space in translation when listing files, and the
    file is diverted.
  * po/pl.po:
    * Updated.
    * Fix translation of 'conflicts with'
  * po/ja.po: Fix typo in translation of dpkg --force-help; dowgrade ->
    downgrade
  * po/fr.po:
    * Fix translation when listing files, and the file is diverted.
    * Fix missing space in translation of: "%s - warning: downgrading %.250s
      from %.250s to %.250s.\n"
  * po/da.po: Fix translation of(was missing the leading space): " does not
    appear to be available\n"

Sat Sep 20 18:45:11 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * utils/start-stop-daemon.[c8]:
    * Add a -d|--chdir option to start-stop-daemon.
    * Split the background block into 2 parts: one that does the fork, and
      opens /dev/tty and /dev/null, and one that does everything else.  The
      second block is then moved to be run right before the exec.  This
      allows error messages to be seen from the child(previously, they were
      lost), and allows for the chroot to not require the device files.
    * When --start, --startas and --pidfile are given, print 'process'
      instead of '(null)' for the process name, if it's already running.

Sat Sep 20 17:44:40 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * configure.in, include/dpkg.h.in: Fix (non-)detection of setlocale.

Fri Sep 19 20:02:19 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/changelog: Set date/time for 1.10.15 release.
 
Fri Sep 19 19:56:48 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/varbuf.c, configure.in: Fix va_copy detection.
  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Back out debian/rules build-arch
    detection.  It is *not* possible *at all* to detect available targets
    in a rules file.  Period.

Fri Sep 19 12:26:54 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/{controllib,dpkg-{source,checkbuilddeps,control}}.pl:
    * Rewrote the parsedep stuff, so that it wasn't done during control 
      file parsing.  Scripts that need the internal parsed format should 
      call parsedep on the field's value.
    * Split the substvars parsing into a separate function.
    * No longer validate dependency fields when reading the control file.
      Some fields may have vars in them, which breaks the validation.
    * dpkg-gencontrol calls substvars after parsing the control file, and
      then validates the substituted depends lines.  Originally,
      substitution occured only during writing of the final output file.
    * Andreas Barth <aba@not.so.argh.org>:
      Fix bad regex that didn't allow spaces in dependency field parsing.
      It now directly matches what the c code expects.  It previously was
      allowing all of \S, which matched on '('.
      Closes: #211660.
  * debian/control: Remove stale debug that would have broken installation
    on s390.
  * debian/rules: We were calling our own local copy of dpkg-gencontrol,
    but the system-installed copy of dpkg-shlibdeps.  Now, both are called
    from the build directory.

Wed Sep 17 13:26:14 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/changelog, version-nr: Updated to 1.10.13.

Wed Sep 17 13:23:15 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/controllib.pl: Fix parsing of deps when both () and [] are
    specified.
  * scripts/controllib.pl: Set $host_arch in controllib.pl:parsedep.
  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Don't output the [] stuff when finding
    invalid deps.

Tue Sep 16 13:44:06 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Fix generation of dependency lines.

Tue Sep 16 13:06:01 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: Ignore 'o:.*' in %fi.

Tue Sep 16 13:02:10 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Tue Sep 16 12:50:44 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Remove -w, as it causes runtime
    warnings.  The code isn't clean enough yet to support it.

Mon Sep 15 19:08:28 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/rules: No longer generate any BYHAND files.  Also, fix bug in
    pseudo-tags installation.

Mon Sep 15 18:53:06 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/rules, debian/pseudo-tags: Install
    /usr/share/doc/dpkg/pseudo-tags, which talks about the bug titling we
    use to mark bugs for filtering in the Debian bts.

Mon Sep 15 18:48:39 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Call debian/rules -qn build-arch, and if
    it's available, modify -B handling appropriately.  If build-arch is not
    available, then when -B was called, do *not* pass -B on to
    dpkg-checkbuilddeps.

Sun Sep 14 21:45:44 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * configure.in: Fix broken os_type detection on linux.

Sun Sep 14 21:44:01 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * po/ca.po: Updated.

Sun, 14 Sep 2003 21:16:18 -0500 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/controllib.pl, scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Moved dependency
    parsing logic from dpkg-checkbuilddeps.  The dpkg-checkbuilddeps parser
    didn't support empty fields, while the controllib parser did.
  * scripts/controllib.pl:
    * Dependency fields are now parsed into a nested list structure.

Thu Sep  5 16:31:11 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * version-nr, debian/changelog: Set 1.10.8 version.

Tue Sep  3 18:59:19 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Tue Sep  3 18:37:45 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Sun Sep  1 23:46:04 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/changelog: Set date for 1.10.6 release.

Sat Aug 31 23:46:04 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * dpkg-deb/main.c, dselect/main.cc, include/dpkg.h.in, lib/startup.c
    main/main.c, main/query.c, split/main.c:  Don't call nffreeall, in any
    of the c/c++ programs.  It appears dselect slightly corrupts it's
    memory enough that it can't be freed without segfaulting.

  * version-nr, debian/changelog: Modified for version 1.10.6.

  * lib/parse.c: Check for eof before we getc(), not after.

Sat Aug 24 15:36:41 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/install-info.pl: Previous install-infos(before 1.10) handled
    multiple dir file entries, because they would copy the entire stanza
    unmodified.  The newest version does not do this, as it reformats the
    options, and thereby only takes the first line.  So, we now split all
    the lines from the stanza, and process them all.

  * archtable: Add i386-gnu0.3.

    trailing ')'.

Sat Aug 24 14:16:13 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/archives.c: Fix segfault when --auto-deconfigure is given.  This is
    causes because the deconfigure list is allocated in an obstack, but
    then freed with normal free().

Thu Aug 22 23:37:45 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/database.c, lib/parse.c, lib/parsehelp.c, main/main.c: Fix several
    read pass buffer bugs, and a memleak.

Thu Aug 22 23:25:23 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/nfmalloc.c: Fix read past buffer in lib/nfmalloc.c.

Thu Jul 11 23:33:13 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/control: dselect replaces dpkg << 1.10.3, as we moved the
    dselect config file and manpages from dpkg.deb to dselect.deb.

Thu Jul 11 22:26:30 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * utils/start-stop-daemon.c: If in --test mode, and --stop is given,
    increment n_killed, so that start-stop-daemon returns the proper exit
    value.  Thanks Thomas Morin <thomas.morin@enst-bretagne.fr>.

Thu Jul 11 22:19:12 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

    warn about missing timestamps.

Tue Jul  2 12:11:59 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/changelog, debian/control: dpkg + dpkg-static conflict dpkg-dev
    << 1.9, as dpkg-source 1.9 doesn't work with md5sum 1.10.

Tue Jul  2 12:29:52 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

  * Merge from HEAD:
    + lib/myopt: check for malloc failure and actually look in $HOME for
      file instead of looking in confdir twice

Tue Jul  2 10:20:40 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

  * debian/rules: cp instead of mv since we need files for both dpkg

    our namespace and replace manpages-de which includes one of our manpages

Fri Jun 21 21:53:24 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

  * debian/dpkg.postinst: Merge patch from Josip Rodin to improve

    translation.

Sun May 26 01:35:34 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/tarfn.c: dpkg now reorders symlinks when extracting debs.  However,
    this is also still done when building debs.  After a stable release of

    main/main.c main/query.c dpkg-deb/main.c split/main.c dselect/main.cc,
    lib/startup.c: New functions, standard_startup, standard_shutdown, that

Thu May 23 23:23:03 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Thu May 23 15:21:09 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Thu May 23 11:16:28 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Wed May 22 13:03:41 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Tue May 21 17:20:12 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

  * debian/dpkg.postinst: remove compat stuff for ancient dpkg versions.
    This also enables the /usr/info/dir move code which was never reached

Mon May 20 00:58:17 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * main/enquiry.c, main/main.h, utils/md5sum.c, split/dpkg-split.h,
    split/split.c, lib/Makefile.in, include/dpkg.h.in, dpkg-deb/build.c,
    dpkg-deb/dpkg-deb.h: Even more gcc warning fixes.

Sun May 19 23:39:02 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * <all Makefile.in>, Makefile.conf.in: Add rules to Makefile.conf, to
    rebuild Makefile if $(srcdir)/Makefile.in is modified.  This also
    required adding a 'default' target to all Makefiles.

Sun, 19 May 2002 22:56:41 -0500 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * utils/md5sum.c: Fairly heavy work(net no lines changed), to fix
    longjmp() clashing variable warnings.  Also, a few miscellaneous gcc
    -W<foo> fixes.

Sun May 19 20:25:05 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/showpkg.c, lib/utils.c, optlib/long-options.c, main/archives.c,
    main/configure.c, main/main.c, main/main.h, main/query.c,
    optlib/long-options.c, lib/showpkg.c, lib/utils.c: Several more gcc
    -W<foo> fixes.

Sun May 19 18:48:39 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/rules: Fix overzealous running of autoheader for every build.

Sun May 19 06:05:24 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * configure.in: Split out the -W*-prototype warnings into separate
    checks.

Sun May 19 06:01:31 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * configure.in, automake/dpkg.m4: Make a new macro, DPKG_C_GCC_ATTRIBUTE.

Sun May 19 05:57:24 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * automake/dpkg.m4.  Gah, I hate gcc.  AC_TRY_COMPILE() produces code
    of the form 'int main() { ... }'.  When -Werror -Wstrict-prototypes is
    given to gcc, it thinks the above code snippet is an error, and aborts.
    This was making DPKG_C_GCC_TRY_WARNS disable some -W options.  So, I
    no longer use AC_TRY_COMPILE.

Sun May 19 04:56:51 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/rules:  Oops.  The command to run is aclocal, not aclocal.m4.

Sun May 19 04:45:41 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * configure.in, config.h.bot(removed), acconfig.h(removed):  The latest
    autoheader/autoconf combination allows us to do everything in
    configure.in.  config.h.bot is now in AH_BOTTOM(), and the
    descriptions for all the defines(from acconfig.h) are now part of
    AC_DEFINE().

Sun May 19 04:41:07 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/rules: All the hard-coded calls to scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl
    are now down thru a variable, GENCONTROL.

Sun May 19 04:26:58 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/rules: Remove all calls to $(shell pwd), and use $(CURDIR).
    Also, `pwd` is removed.  There was a var, DIR := $(shell pwd);
    instances of this var were also replaced with CURDIR.

Sun May 19 04:18:46 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/rules: If automake/*.m4 is modified, rebuild aclocal.m4.  If
    aclocal.m4 or configure.in are modified, rebuild configure.in.
    config.h.in gets rebuilt if configure.in is modified.  And, lastly,
    configure is rerun, if configure or config.h.in is modified.

Sun May 19 04:09:25 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/rules: Fix targets, so that if configure fails, but actually
    succeeds in creating config.status(as might happen if one has a
    c-style comment in configure.in, and the shell trys running /foo), then
    the build will actually fail correctly.

Sun May 19 02:31:11 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * acconfig.h: Oops.  Forgot to add #undef HAVE_GNUC25_UNUSED.

Sun May 19 02:31:11 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * config.h.bot, configure.in, optlib/getopt.c: Define an UNUSED macro,
    for __attribute__((unused)).

Sun May 19 02:31:11 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * optlib/error.h, optlib/getopt.c, utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Use
    the configure detected gcc __attribute__ macros, instead of
    hard-coding them.

Thu May 16 19:09:48 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

  * Merged in changes from 1.9.11 to 1.9.14 branches.

    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Disable source package sanity checking.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: make Uploaders optional.
    + scripts/controllib.pl: Set the default to convert warnerrors
      into warnings.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Remove a warnable error if the orig.tar.gz
      contains './'.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle symlinks in the tarball, and don't
      error out if found.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Add support for an Uploaders field, which is
      read from the first paragraph of debian/control, and propagated to
      the .dsc.  This lists the people allowed to upload a package.  If it
      is not set, then the value of the Maintainer is placed into this
      field of the .dsc.  This bumps the .dsc format to 1.1.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle stating of truncated cpio filenames
      (100 char limit, bah)
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Set LC_ALL before calling external programs,
      when we are going to parse their output.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Move the check for '\n' and '././@LongLink'
      before the check for leading './'.
    + dselect/main.cc: Handle window resize in main menu

      contains './'.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle the case where a single directory
      exists in the orig.tar.gz, but it is NOT of the form <pkg>-<ver>.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Don't error out if the files in the tar
      have leading './'.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl, scripts/controllib.pl, scripts/dpkg-source.1,
      scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Add support for -W, which turns certain
      errors into warnings, and -E, which turns them back into errors again.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: When the tarball doesn't contain directories,
      only display the warning once for each directory.
    + THANKS: Added Colin Watson.  Also put in an email address for Colin
      Plumb.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Grumble.  Fix case where top-dir in
      orig.tar.gz was renamed to .orig.

      high, and critcial.

      an error(which happens if there is a dangling symlink, because we use
      -follow).
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Apply patch from Colin Watson:
      * Reset SIGPIPE to DEFAULT when forking gzip.
      * set LANG to C before execing cpio, as we parse its output.
      * In checktarcpio() and checktarsane(), use the previously open pipes,
        instead of the opening files on disk(which was the old, ancient way).
      * Improve the output parsing of tar in checktarsane().
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: When both arch: all and arch: <arch> packages

  * main/archives.c: add safe_read() to read from a pipe and deal

Wed May  2 20:41:10 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * include/dpkg.h.in, main/Makefile.in main/enquiry.c main/main.c,
    main/query.c: Split out code for commands -sSlLp into a separate
    binary, dpkg-query, and have the normal dpkg binary exec this.  Also,
    dpkg now uses a macro to define external backends to call.

Wed May  2 12:32:24 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * configure.in: If --without-zlib was given, and static programs were
    enabled, the compile would fail.

Tue May  1 23:05:48 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/parse.c: Oops.  EOF_mmap was incorrectly detecting the end of the
    data block.
  * main/depcon.c: After fixing the above bug, and using debootstrap to
    build a sid chroot, I discovered that my previous dependency cycle fix
    could cause segfaults in some situations.

Tue May  1 00:24:49 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * acconfig.h, config.h.bot, configure.in, lib/varbuf.c, debian/changelog:
    Check for __va_copy, and use it, instead of a direct assignment, for
    broken arches, like ppc.
  
Mon Apr 30 17:34:47 CEST 2001 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Makefile.conf.in, configure.in, debian/control, debian/rules,
    dpkg-deb/Makefile.in, main/Makefile.in, utils/Makefile.in,
    .cvsignore debian/.cvsignore: Added -static support.  There is support
    for building a dpkg-static.deb, but this is not used during a normal
    run.  However, a -static.nondebbin.tar.gz file is created, in addition
    to the normal nondebbin.tar.gz.

    set the end, to \0.
  * lib/parse.c: Don't loose the last char of a field value, when EOF is
    hit.

Sat Apr 28 14:31:27 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-divert.pl, debian/changelog: Fix removing of diversions.
    This has always been broken, but was just masked by another bug, that
    made it work. :|

Sat Apr 28 12:18:55 CEST 2001 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: only check for valid sign interface
    when the user specifies one
   
Sat Apr 28 03:33:28 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/dpkg.cfg: Changed to include no-debsig by default, as no debs
    are currently signed, and we get false errors when debsig-verify is
    installed.  This will be removed in the future, when the archive tools
    support package signatures.

Fri Apr 27 20:43:25 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/nfmalloc.c: nfstrnsave() was not allocated n+1 chars, and was not
    setting the n+1 byte to \0.

Sat Apr 28 02:52:56 CEST 2001 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: do not care if dpkg --search returns
    with an error: it will do that know if we search for something
    that is not installed which is a valid case for us.

Fri Apr 27 13:14:04 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/parse.c, debian/changelog: Fix a segfault when reading an empty

Thu Apr 26 13:36:41 CEST 2001 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

    to report errors.

Wed Apr 25 20:20:07 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * utils/md5sum.c, lib/mlib.c: Modified mlib.c, to malloc enough space

    speed of convert_string() by a factor of 2, by storing the length

Wed Dec 20 12:50:55 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

Sat Apr 15 14:53:23 EDT 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * TODO: updated
  * debian/rules: explicitly strip the setgid bit for debian/tmp-*.
    This is needed since the kernel copies it when we create subdirs
    and install doesn't strip it even though we explicitly ask for
    a mode 755 directory. Updated clean target to run make distclean
    to remove generated sourcefiles as well.
  * dpkg-deb/build.c: add comments to describe what we are doing.

    + po/{es,sv}.po: updated
    + debian/changelog: include changes for 1.6.12
    + dpkg-genchanges: recognize non-deb packages (tarballs, such as
      dpkg-non-deb and boot-floppies disk tarballs). This makes sure that we
      include them when figuring up the Arch field in the .changes
    + scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Don't default to no signing until
      after we parsed the options, otherwise we will miss overrides.

    + debian/changelog: update to 1.6.10
    + scripts/dpkg-divert.pl: reinstate last writeability-patch. Modified
      to not abort on ENOENT: this indicates a directory does not (yet)
      exist. If this happens don't try to rename.
    + scripts/update-alternatives.pl:
      + update usage-warning to reflect the new --config option
      + Document some global variables
      + Switch back to auto-mode when removing a manually selected alternative
    + dselect/{dselect.h,main.cc,pkglist.cc}: remove CAN_RESIZE stuff

  * debian/control: correct Build-Dependencies for ncurses
  * debian/control: update extended description to not list dependencies
    for dpkg-dev
  * Update lots of documentation
  * main/enquiry.c: handle failed open of /dev/tty
  * main/remove.c: revert earlier patch from Oct 11 1999 to remove
    conffiles before removing directories. Due to the changed execution
    order conffiles were no longer around when the postrm was run.
    which is not what we want.

Sun Feb 13 01:06:46 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: we know that dpkg-architecture is
    installed since we provide it, so don't test for its existance
  * More updates from Marcus Brinkman:
    + archtable: Change first column format from CPU to CPU-OS.
      Add entry for i386-gnu. Update comment.
    + configure.in: Check Debian architecture revamped:
      More appropriate check title. Check for CPU-OS in arhctable (instead
      just CPU). Enclose result message in [...] (because of the comma
      character). After the test, $dpkg_archset can't be empty, so remove
      following test which is always true.
    + Remove internal use of --print-architecture:
      scripts/controllib.pl: Use always dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH
      scripts/dpkg-buildpackage: Don't set $arch at command line parsing time,
        instead, always set it later with dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH
      dpkg-name.pl: Fall back to dpkg --print-installation-architecture.

Sat Feb 12 17:11:33 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * configure.in: don't try to outguess what CFLAGS should be
  * scripts/update-alternatives.8: fix typo
  * `Merge Marcus Brinkman patches day':

    + scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: build a list of packages instead of
      overwriting previous results. 
    + utils/start-stop-daemon.c: update HURD specifics
    + configure.in: revamp HURD detection stuff
    + debian/rules: use dpkg-buildarchitecture to get proper info,
      set config_arg if we are crosscompiling
    + debian/rules: typo in clean target, scan start-stop-daemon for
      shlibdeps
      
Tue Feb  8 21:33:58 EST 2000 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>

  * main/{processarc,archive}.c: Make the conflictor an array of structs and
    make sure that check_conflicts uses that and increments a global indexs
    for the array. The reason that multiple conflicts/replaces were getting
    borked had something to do with thre first one in the hash not being
    processed. This was the result of bad pointer games, so this makes it a
    lot cleaner.

Wed Jan 19 16:41:04 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * scripts/controllib.pl: add comment with description of global variables

Tue Jan 11 02:02:00 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * dselect/main.cc: fix help for -D

    be and gettext can't handle VPATH).

  * Don't bother translating debug-statements

Mon Oct 25 11:55:35 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps: start using objdump as opposed to ldd, this
    works much more cleanly, works with libc5, and allows from better
    error reporting. Also corrected checks on shlibs.local, which wasn't
    really being parsed, it now works as advertised.
  * scripts/{dpkg-gencontrol,dpkg-source,controllib.pl}: fixed references
    to old style build dep fields to match current policy ammendment

Mon Oct 25 17:12:34 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * gettextize dselect

Mon Oct 25 08:42:52 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

    also compress the info and ps files for internals in dpkg-doc

Mon Oct 25 06:50:17 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * main/processarc.c: fixes calculation of package filename display (the
    ".../foo.deb" one) where it was showing the full path if the basename
    was longer than 30 chars. Now shows just the basename if it can't
    squeez the full path to < 30 chars (even if the basename is > than 30
    chars)

Mon Oct 25 02:27:49 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * dselect/main.cc: Fixup error message for invalid parameter to reflect
    we are dselect, not dpkg

Sun Oct 24 20:46:44 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: we want to 'delete' the POSIXLY_CORRECT env
    not 'undef'

Sun Oct 24 20:25:11 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * debian/dpkg-doc-{postrm,prerm}: Added install-info for internals.info
  * debian/dpkg-internals: fixed misplaced description

Sun Oct 24 11:39:21 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * debian/control: added dpkg-doc
  * debian/dpkg-doc-{postinst,prerm}: new files for dpkg-doc package
  * debian/dpkg-internals: doc-base support for dpkg-doc
  * debian/rules: added build rules for dpkg-doc to binary-indep target
  * doc/Makefile.am: changed build setup for internals.sgml to use the
    debiandoc tools, and removed internals.* stuff from being built by
    default. Two new targets, internals and internals-install, now handle
    this
  * doc/changelog: removed, duplicate of ChangeLog
  * doc/internals.sgml: converted to debiandoc format, now builds correctly
    and without errors
  * doc/manuals-version: removed since it is generated at build time
  * doc/texinfo.*: moved to doc/obsolete/ since the debiandoc format doesn't
    need them
  * main/filesdb.c: fixed compiler warning

Sat Oct 23 21:23:08 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Added 'D' to the list of choices for conffile handling

Sat Oct 23 16:25:16 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * main/{processarc.c,depcon.c}: added new structure for conflictors,
    which contains a struct for conflicts. This is used to create an array
    of conflicting packages, which are going to be replaced. Allows for
    multiple conflicts and replaces. All conflictor handlers were
    converted to loops to handle each one (processarc.c).

Sat Oct 23 09:22:16 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Leave file info intact in available when installing packages. MD5sum,
    Filename, and MSDOS-Filename used to get lost when installing a package.
  * Backout dep check patch (merged from v1_4_1_18)
  * Added armv4l to archtable

Thu Oct 21 12:57:31 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Fixed incorrect patch for --print-architecture (oops, oh well
    it was already broken when there was no gcc anyway :)
  * Fixed missing mipseb that was supposed to be in the archtable
  * Better output in update-alternatives --config, now shows the
    current, and the prefered choices.
  * dpkg-name: ignore epoch when getting version
  * 50dpkg-dev.el: add it as a conffile for dpkg-dev
  * dpkg-shlibdeps: redirect STDERR to /dev/null for the dpkg fork so we
    don't see dpkg's errors
  * internals.sgml: Removed references to the versions of build tools,
    they date the document.
  * debian-changelog-mode.el: added hint for better log-email handling
  * Added recognition for new source-depends fields for policy
    referenced in bug #41232
  * dpkg-buildpackage: add -ap option to force a pause prior to starting
    the sign process. This helps for people who don't keep their signatures
    on the filesystem (on a floppy perhaps, then mount as needed).
  * minor script corrections
  * dpkg-dev control: Change gcc to c-compiler in the recommends field, and
    move cpio, patch and make to the depends line

Thu Oct 21 10:22:43 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Fixed the check that was added to dpkg-divert.
  * Removed the lib version checking.
  * Oops, somehow the --config feature went missing from update-
    alternatives

Thu Oct 21 13:22:42 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Update copyright (taken from dpkg-iwj tree, with Ben added)
  * Add support for long filenames in tarfiles. Based on a patch
    from Andrew Hobson <ahobson@eng.mindspring.net>
  * Add a --assert-longfilenames option

Thu Oct 21 06:37:24 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Fixed some compiler warnings
  * Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
    pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
  * When running --configure on an already installed package, just
    say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
    state
  * Bah, add all the prefix/datadir... stuff back to the install
    target in debian/rules (po/ doesn't use it)
  * Add function to libdpkg that dpkg can call to make sure it's
    compiled version matches that of the library. If it fails,
    complain loudly, but allow to proceed
  * Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
    since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
    borked in the first place
  * Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
  * Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
  * start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
  * update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
    are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
    to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
  * dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
    destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
    changing the diversion registry
  * Fix bad regex in update-rc.d

Tue Oct 19 18:07:28 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Ok, TMPDIR usage is back in dpkg-deb and working
  * {include,scripts}/Makefile.am: Fix for using DESTDIR
  * debian/rules: really convert to DESTDIR on install target this
    time. chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
    in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
    distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
    simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
    source.

Tue Oct 19 09:59:22 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Reverted the new tmpfile stuff in dpkg-deb. For some reason it's
    completely corrupting the new package

Mon Oct 18 18:40:35 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
    this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
    different in layout. Note, I tested the first way and this new way
    against package foo (version 1 & 2) each had 5000 files (different
    in version 2 than in version 1). basically this meant the old way
    needed to do about 2.5 million lstats, and the new way only needs
    10,000 lstats. This sped it up about %6000 percent (the old way took
    over 1 hour on a 333Mhz, the new way was 2 minutes and 20 seconds).
    Note that this is an extreme case since most per package upgrades
    a) don't have 5000 files
    b) don't have all the files different
  * Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
    for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
    largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)

Mon Oct 18 09:25:30 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Add mipseb to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
    both viable names for the mips big endian arch
  * Update dpkg-architecure's archtable
  * Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
    we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
    already generated anyway
  * Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
    to libtool itself after running configure, much cleaner, and
    reversible since libtool is a generated file
  * Use DESTDIR when installing instead of specifying all our
    dest dirs seperately in the make line. Also fix some of the
    make files to use DESTDIR when installing files
  * Regenerated .po files and dpkg.pot. Also added update.sh to the po/
    subdir for easier regenerating for cvs only
  * Make release.sh generate .gmo files
  * Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
    Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
    arch

Sun Oct 17 13:40:46 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
  * Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
    when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
    this is just a documentation fix).
  * Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
    it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
  * Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
    a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
  * Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
  * When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
    packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
    and continue.
  * Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
    the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
    output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.

Sun Oct 17 11:51:36 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Revert to hardcoding ENOENT again, since the necessary parts of
    the perl POSIX module aren't in perl-*-base. sigh.

Sat Oct 16 11:43:45 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>

  * Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
    a different uid when starting a process
  * Added mipsel to the archtable for completeness
  * Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
    of the registered alternatives for a specific name
  * Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
    and uses
  * Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
    it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor

Thu Oct 14 04:51:14 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Don't use Errno module but the POSIX module, since that *is*
    in perl-*-base
  * Fixup debian/rules

Thu Oct 14 04:39:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Update dpkg manpage to add new --force-conf* options

Thu Oct 14 04:16:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Reinstate patch to not read available-file with doing listfiles.
  * Don't forget to get the correct SHELL before showing a diff of
    conffiles!
  * Merge a patch from Ben Collins to add a bunch of --force options
    to handle changed conffiles

Thu Oct 14 03:37:52 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Add mips to archtable
  * Use Errno module to get ENOENT instead of hardcoding it

Thu Oct 14 02:47:40 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Fix C error we introduced in checkpath() earlier

Wed Oct 13 20:41:16 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Update oldfile-check in process_archive so we don't experience
    memory corruption

Wed Oct 13 17:51:17 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Merge patches from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>:
    + fix windowresizing in dselect
    + when upgrading check if a file is not also in the new package before
	  removing it, so we don't remove new files due to symlinks confusing us
    + fix logic error in checkforremoval: it was breaking cycles in for the
      wrong package
    + fix findbreakcycle to remove cycles even for packages we are not changing

Mon Oct 11 22:19:01 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Add the option to show a diff of the old and new conffile when
    configuring a package

Tue Oct 12 17:15:08 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * don't die if we can't open a package in dpkg-scanpackages, just print
    a warning and skip the package.

Mon Oct 11 18:18:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Move dselect into its own package

Mon Oct 11 17:37:47 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Added support for HURD to start-stop-daemon
  * Create new directory utils/ for extra C-programs, and move
    start-stop-daemon there.

Mon Oct 11 15:47:18 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Preparation to move start-stop-daemon from scripts to utils
  * Merge patches from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>:
    + modify remove_buld to remove conffiles when purging a package before we
      remove its directories.
    + check if we violate conflicts/depends/pre-depends of other packages when
      processing an archive.

Mon Oct 11 02:13:15 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Merge patch from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> to make dpkg-deb
    handle packages created with Linux ar.

Thu Oct  7 01:16:23 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Check if sequencecode is between 0 and 99 instead of just checking
    for a number in update-rc.d

Wed Oct  6 14:40:33 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Lock complete lockfile for database: it's empty anyway, and Hurd
    doesn't support partial locks currently
  * Don't use PATH_MAX but allocate necessay memory in checkpath().
    Useful for system that don't have PATH_MAX (like Hurd)

Tue Oct  5 19:16:38 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Set docdir to $(datadir)/doc
  * Install /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dpkg-dev.el with mode 644

Tue Oct  5 04:08:41 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

    <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

Tue Sep 28 01:14:14 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Fix typo in dpkg-buildpackage that broke signing if only -sgpg was given

Mon Sep 27 04:25:32 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Change changelog-style for ChangeLog, the package-style doesn't work
    well for CVS IMHO.
  * Merged patch from Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org> to make update-alternatives.pl
    work across filesystems

dpkg (1.4.1.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * Modify tarobject() so it does not complain if we are creating a

dpkg (1.4.0.28) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added gpg (GNU Privacy Guard) support:
    * scripts/buildpackage.sh: default to GPG (unless no GPG, but only a PGP
      secret key file is found), as GPG, unlike PGP, is DFSG-free.
    * Updated dpkg-source(1), and added gpg(1) and pgp(1) to the SEE ALSO
      section.
    * Worked around broken textmode implementation in GPG.

  * controllib.pl: Again by popular acclamation, fix the getlogin() warnings.
    I redirected STDERR onto fd 0 before calling getlogin().
  * tools.m4: Fix display of whether c++ works.
  * dpkg-deb/extract.c: glibc 2.1 and some kernels want to make
    fflush() move the current fpos.  Until someone can fix that,
    protect with seek.
  * Add an extra 0, to dselect/{pkg,meth}keys.cc so it compiles again.
  * Start using lchown() if available.
  * Really fix #20353. (aclocal.m4 was the wrong place; that's a generated

    segregating and defining the interface).
  * Preliminary internationalization support by Galen Hazelwood
    <galenh@debian.org>.  Only the library, dpkg-deb, md5sum, and dpkg
    have been converted so far.  No translations have yet been
    constructed.
  * Handle 'libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40010000)' format from libc6
    ldd (fixes #7603, #7926, #8688, #9179, #9134, #8516).

dpkg (0.93.80); priority=LOW

    main and recursive).
  * dselect help messages made more friendly.
  * dselect package list `quit, confirm, and check dependencies' key is

  * dselect `v=verbose' becomes `v=terse' when in verbose mode.

  * hard disk method unmounts /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt on failure.

  * dpkg now tolerates ^Z characters in Packages files.
  * harddisk method doesn't display extra slash when updating packages file.

  * dselect no longer segfaults when you try to modify the last item.

  * dselect Makefile compiles with -g, and links without -s, but installs

    (NB this is not compatible with Carl Streeter's old dpkg-split script.)
  * dpkg uses dpkg-split.
  * floppy disk method available - NB this is a first attempt only.

  * hard disk method uses --merge-avail rather than --update-avail.

    remove a directory belonging to a package being removed.
  * dpkg, dpkg-deb usage error reporting improved.

dpkg (0.93.69) BETA; priority=MEDIUM

  * dpkg --configure and --remove should work properly when
    they have to defer processing (this tends to happen when many
    packages are processed at once).  (Bug#1209.)

  * dpkg --configure and --remove work better when `processing'
    several related packages with --no-act.

  * dpkg --auto is now two options, --pending or -a (for configure,

  * dpkg won't get an internal error if you try to use the default
    conffiles response (ie, if you just hit return).  (Bug#1208.)

  * dpkg -G is an abbreviation for dpkg --refuse-downgrade.
  * dpkg -R alias for --root withdrawn, pending reuse with different meaning.
  * dpkg --help message rationalised somewhat.

  * Obsolete `examples' and `dpkg-split' directories removed from
    source tree.  The `hello' package is a better example.

dpkg (0.93.66) ALPHA; priority=MEDIUM

  * dpkg will correctly remove overwritten files from the lists of
    the package(s) that used to contain them.

  * dpkg --purge is now an action, rather than a modifier for --remove,
    and the -P alias for it is withdrawn.

  * dpkg --unpack/--install filenames in messages are now more sensible
    about when to use .../ (show as many trailing components as possible
    in 40 characters, or the whole path if that the last component is
    longer than that).

dpkg (0.93.65) ALPHA; priority=MEDIUM

    by another that is also queued for removal, defer the depended-on
    package rather than aborting it.  (Bug#1188.)

  * dpkg will not attempt to configure or remove a package more than
    once in the same run.  (Bug#1169.)

  * dpkg cosmetic fix to dependency problems message (this bug
    hasn't been triggered to my knowledge).

  * perl-dpkg no longer installed in /usr/bin.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>  Wed, 2 Aug 1995 13:02:58 +0100

dpkg (0.93.64) ALPHA; priority=MEDIUM

  * dpkg marks a package as no longer `to be configured in this run'
    when an error occurs, so that other packages which depend on it
    will fail (rather than causing a loop and an assertion failure,
     packages.c:166: failed assertion `dependtry <= 4').

  * dselect initial selection granularity is single-package.
  * dpkg --no-also-select option renamed to --selected-only (old option
    still accepted, but no longer in --help).  Changed -N to -O.

  * dselect `update' option changed to `install' (and other options
    renamed too).  NB: old access methods will not work, because
    the `update' script should now be an `install' script.

  * dselect `installation methods' renamed to `access methods'.
  * dpkg --skip-same-version and --refuse-downgrade produce friendlier
    messages when they skip packages.
  * --licence option now properly mentioned in all programs' --version
    messages.

  * bad fix for ELF compile problem involving myopt.h removed (compile
    problem turned out to be a GCC bug.)

    an error flag set or which aren't in a standard `installed' state.

  * dpkg --search now does a substring search if the string doesn't
    start with a wildcard character (*, [ or ?) or slash.

  * problem with C/C++ linkage of stuff in "myopt.h" fixed, to help
    with compiling with GCC 2.7.0.

  * dselect Makefile.in `clean' deletes curkeys.inc &c, so that they are
    not shipped in the distribution source and will be rebuilt on the
    target system.

      and unpack packages;
    - invoke dpkg to configure and remove packages.
    There are no installation methods available yet.

  * Search feature in dselect works (it was purely an ncurses bug).

  * dpkg-*.nondebbin.tar.gz now available (built by debian.rules).

  * The target directory for dpkg-deb --extract (also available as
    dpkg --extract) is no longer optional.  dpkg-deb suggests the use

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>  Sun, 14 May 1995 18:05:38 +0100

dpkg (0.93.38) BETA; priority=MEDIUM

    for `package_revision' and writes the former.

  * Major improvements and many changes to C option parsing, database
    management, error handling, Makefiles &c to support dpkg.
  * dpkg-deb should now work if sizeof(void*) < sizeof(void(*)()).

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>  Mon, 24 Apr 1995 12:34:39 +0100

    thanks to Peter Tobias for the bug report.
  * Fixed other assorted minor bugs in description displays.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>  Fri, 7 Apr 1995 02:24:55 +0100

dpkg (0.93.36) BETA; priority=LOW (MEDIUM for dselect users)

  * All the C code (including dselect) updated to support `provides'
    (virtual packages).

    as the predefined ones which we understand and can interpret).
  * Fixed bug that prevented display update when moving down a small
    recursive package list in dselect.
  * Column heading characters corrected from `SHOC' to `HSOC'.

 * Improved dselect's package list help messages.
 * Highlight now moves on after (de)selecting just one package.
 * Better algorithm for scrolling up/down when moving highlight.
 * Fixed bug in display of `preformatted' extended Description lines.

	                  /usr/sbin/dselect.
	* dpkg (0.93.32): Many portability enhancements: should now
	                  compile using GCC 2.6.3, and dpkg-deb should
	                  compile better on non-Linux systems.

	* dpkg (0.93.32): varbuf has C++ member functions in header
	                  #ifdef __cplusplus.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.31:

* start-stop-daemon --pidfile now works (Bug#571).
* Fixed dependency processing bugs which could require a rerun of
  dpkg --configure (Bug#566).

Changes in dpkg 0.93.29:

* Made postinst scripts really be run when dpkg --purge used.
* Added new --force-extractfail option - VERY DANGEROUS.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.28:

* Make version number specifications in Depends &c work.
* Added AC_PROG_CXX to autoconf.in for dselect.
* Changed myopt.h not to have cipaction field in cmdinfo (this was
  specially for dpkg-deb) - now we have a generic void*.

* Much work in `dselect' subdirectory.
* Deleted executables, objects and libraries from OLD tree !
* Minor changes to various copyright notices and top-of-file comments.
* Don't install nasty Perl dselectish thing as /usr/bin/dselect.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.26:

* Added --no-also-select instead of not auto-selecting on --unpack
  but doing so on --install; removed --force-unpack-any.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.25:

* Fixed duplicate output (failure to flush before fork) bug.
* More clarification of md5sum.c copyright.
* Corrected typo in ChangeLog in 0.93.24 source package.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.24:

* dpkg could copy conffiles info from one package to another.  Aargh.
  Bug #426.
* dpkg failed to initialise status if you tried to remove or
  configure a nonexistent package.  Bug #419.
* install-info now handles START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY entries like:
   * Gdb::                         The GNU debugger.
  Previously it would only accept (Bug #407):
   * Gdb: (gdb).                   The GNU debugger.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.23:

* `dpkg-deb' --build now does a syntax check on the control file.
* `dselect' is now no longer called `debian', spurious copy removed
  from package top-level source directory.
* C control information parsing complete and somewhat tested.
* Moved `global' include files into $(srcdir)/include from ../lib,
  added some files to the lib Makefile, and arranged for pop_cleanup().

Changes in dpkg 0.93.22:

* Fixed bug which caused dpkg to see failures of md5sum where there
  were none (would also have caused dpkg to miss a real failure).
* Fixed failure to update some `status' database fields.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.21:

* Fixed error-handling bug which could corrupt database.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.20:

* Fixed bug which ran old (/var/adm/dpkg) postinst scripts.
* Fixed dpkg usage message which claimed -i => both --install & --info.
* Use Colin Plumb's MD5 code - faster, and better copyright.
* Manpages: dpkg-deb(8), deb-control(5), deb(5) - thanks to Raul
  Deluth Miller.  Also, an xfig picture of some C program innards.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.19:

* Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database.
* Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling.
* Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the
  `dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles.  This means
  that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of
  /etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead.  However, the
  link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles.
* When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that
  wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't
  do any prompting but just install the version from the archive.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.17:

* install-info --remove exits with status 0 if it doesn't find the
  thing to remove, instead of status 1.
* Error handling functions have __attribute__((format...)) if GCC.
* push_cleanup its arg takes void **argv instead of char **argv.
* Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops.
* dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.16:

* Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'.
* install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask.
* Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail,
  and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways.
* dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with
  /var/{adm,lib}/dpkg.  Should be faster.
* Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.15:

* Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive.
* Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib.
* Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search.
* Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but
  dpkg-deb not yet updated).
* Added --root, --admindir and --instdir, as well as --isok &c.
* Moved much stuff into /usr/lib/dpkg-lib.pl, rewritten status
  database handling.
* Put packages in `purge' state even if `deinstall' requested if
  they have no postrm and no conffiles.
* Version number comparisons fixed.
* insert-version.pl now installes lib.pl filename too.
* Strip trailing slashes when reading files from file lists.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.14:

* Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace.
* postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file.
* Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider
  packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead.
* Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old
  configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.13:

* sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl.
* Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error
  if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file.
* Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call.
* New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN
  directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.12:

* No longer needs *.ph files, since these appear to be broken.
* Postinst fixes up *.control files with curly brackets.
* embryo of dselect.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.11:

* New --ignore-depends option.
* This ChangeLog changed format here.

	* dpkg 0.93.11 released.

	* conffile updating fixed.

	* more debugging around conffiles updates.

	* *.hash files not deleted so soon.

	* adds brand new packages to status array so we can install them.

	* postinst does h2ph for {sys,linux}/{stat,types}.ph if required.

Mon Nov 28 02:00:13 GMT 1994  Ian Jackson  <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>

        * dpkg 0.93.10 released.

        * dpkg.pl completely rewritten.

        * dpkg-deb: removed dabase-processing and --install option.

        * Makefiles reworked, debian.rules added.

        * Don't install anything in /usr/doc/examples.

        * dpkg-*.deb contains /usr/bin/dpkg-deb.dist, fixed up by postinst.

Thu Oct 20 13:22:20 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * dpkg 0.93.9 released.

        * dpkg.pl: Use $argument, not $package, with `--build'.
        Make sure that saved postinst scripts are executable.

Tue Oct 18 09:40:57 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * dpkg 0.93.8 released.

        * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir ()
        when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this
        case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and
        are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence).

Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards.

        * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are
        removed LAST!  This will result in complete removal of packages
        when --remove is called.  dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems
        with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which
        will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time.

        * deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name.

        * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): When a list file cannot be
        opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.

        * deb/util.c (return_info): When a control file cannot be opened,
        silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.

        * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Exit 0 if the regular expression is
        matched and 1 if it is not.

        * deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin.

        * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters

        (pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for
        the front-end to parse the output.
        (pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description
        with '\0'.

        * dpkg 0.93.5 released.

        * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents
        into function pkg_contents.

        * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so
        that symbolic links are recognized.
        (pkg_contents): print the usual `<path> -> <link_to>' now that we
        recognize symbolic links.

        * deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed
        information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory
        in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do.

Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a
        uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation.

        * dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during
        package removal.

        * dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure.

        * deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and
        is a Debian archive before doing anything.

        * deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and
        is a Debian archive before doing anything.

        * deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done.

        * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that
        --remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a
        directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic
        link never being removed at all.

ChangeLog begins Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 for dpkg 0.93.5.
