  52. (instead of one or more) letters and turn the items into a proper list.
  53. - Generate the man pages at build time. This makes it possible to process
  54. them and update several variable strings such as system and package
  55. pathnames, the release date and the dpkg suite version. And makes it
  56. possible to use UTF-8 in the source and convert to the more conservative
  57. groff escape sequences on the output.
  58. - Switch from groff escape sequences to UTF-8 in man pages sources.
  59. - Disable hyphenation in man pages globally, because it performs very

  67. - Fix M4sh/Autoconf coding style. Add a new section to coding-style.txt
  68. describing M4sh/Autoconf.
  69. - Disable C++ exceptions for dselect.
  70. - Fix typo in SE Linux library detection code, only affecting static
  71. mode (not used in Debian). Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.8.
  72. - Change --with-* option logic to default to check.
  73. - Disable -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare (for clang).
  74. - Check the availability of -W<warning> variant instead of -Wno-<warning>.
  75. As at least gcc and clang do not warn on -Wno-* warning flags, only
  76. when some unrelated warning needs to be emitted.
  77. - Bump po4a version to 0.43 (we are using --porefs wrap option).
  78. - Add support for running the test suite in parallel.
  79. - Specify exec argument for TAP::Harness to gracefully handle non-perl
  80. executables with older versions of the module.
  81. - Require libselinux 2.0.99 for baseline API, remove static linking
  82. support, use pkg-config unconditionally, and perform refinement checks
  83. only if available.
  84. - Check for the required minimal perl version.
  85. - Use builddir instead of CURDIR in man Makefile.am.
  86. - Use cp with -R instead of -r (the former is more portable and not
  87. marked as deprecated by POSIX).
  88. - Print an actual newline instead of a literal \n in lcov output.

  381. * Be more strict when parsing the COLUMNS environment variable in dpkg-query.
  382. * Make the Architecture field mandatory on package builds.
  383. * Use new Dpkg::Arch functions to validate and parse architectures when
  384. building source packages. Closes: #784808
  385. * Do safe matching of directories containing conffiles in
  386. dpkg-maintscript-helper, instead of using a variable pathname as a regex
  387. with grep, which is susceptible to metacharacters acting as part of the
  388. regex. Proposed by Carsten Hey <carsten@debian.org>.
  389. * Decouple local keyword declaration from command assignment in
  390. dpkg-maintscript-helper, which masks the command return value when
  391. using «set -e».
  392. * Make dpkg pass <new-version> to maintscript actions that cannot get it
  393. otherwise. These actions are now:
  394. - <new-postrm> failed-upgrade <old-version> <new-version>
  395. - <new-postrm> abort-install <old-version> <new-version>
  396. - <new-postrm> abort-upgrade <old-version> <new-version>
  397. - <new-preinst> install <old-version> <new-version>

  402. * Use info() instead of print in dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-genchanges.
  403. * Add very basic color support to all dpkg namespaced programs, enabled by
  404. setting the environment variable DPKG_COLORS to “auto”, “always” or
  405. “never”, the latter being the default.
  406. * Add support for a new --build option to define build type by a
  407. comma-separated list of components (“source”, “any”, “all”, “binary” or
  408. “full”) in dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-buildpackage.
  409. * Add new -I option to dpkg-shlibdeps to ignore package build directories.

  430. - Only warn once when a diff patches a file multiple times in
  431. Dpkg::Source::Patch, and fix the warning message to make it clear that
  432. the diff might be patching the file more than once, not just twice.
  433. - Check existence of search criteria in Dpkg::Index when checking with a

  828. reproducible regardless of the build system filesystem, and document
  829. how the value is computed and that it is just an approximation.
  830. Closes: #650077
  831. * Use strftime() instead of «date -R» in dpkg-genchanges, as the latter
  832. is not specified by POSIX and is not widely portable.
  833. * Warn on obsolete '<' and '>' operators in dpkg --compare-versions.
  834. * Trim end of line whitespace from dpkg and dselect config file parsers.
  835. Reported by Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.

  867. * Use the original template symbols file when diffing in dpkg-gensymbols.
  868. We should not create a new template symbols file, because the output
  869. might change (different sorting order for example) relative to the

  879. the other Checksum fields in dpkg-genchanges.
  880. * Skip files based on the architecture from the filename in dpkg-genchanges.
  881. * Allow binary packages not found in debian/control in dpkg-genchanges,
  882. which could allow injecting debug .debs for example.
  883. * Annotate any non-deb binary descriptions (not just udebs) with their
  884. package type in dpkg-genchanges.
  885. * Remove outdated local copy of the Debian README.mirrors.txt file from
  886. dselect ftp access method, and print a message pointing to the current
  887. URL instead. Closes: #784966
  888. * Cleanup default dpkg-shlibdeps shared library directory search list:
  889. - Do not add cross-root directories (/<triplet>/ and /usr/<triplet>/).
  890. - Remove ancient multilib /emul/ia32-linux/ paths.
  891. - Reorder directory precedence to:
  892. «dpkg-shlibdeps -l» > ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATHS} > cross-multiarch >
  893. DEFAULT_LIBRARY_PATH > ld.so.conf > DEFAULT_MULTILIB_PATH
  894. * When upgrading, copy over the cached arch-qualified package name. This
  895. fixes wrong output when cross-grading.

  897. * Perl modules:
  898. - Rename and deprecate Dpkg::Gettext _g function with new g_.
  899. - Assume in Dpkg::Arch that the abitable is always present, and bump
  900. libdpkg-perl Depends on dpkg to 1.16.3, the version introducing the file.
  901. - Remove support for GCC_TARGET environment variable from Dpkg::Shlibs.
  902. This was a temporary workaround for very old gcc toolchains. See #453267.
  903. - Prefer multiarch paths to multilib ones in Dpkg::Shlibs.
  904. Thanks to Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>. Closes: #772184
  905. - Enable sub-second timestamps in Dpkg::Source::Patch by using Time::HiRes.
  906. - Use TMPDIR instead of manually setting DIR on tempfile() call in
  907. Dpkg::Source::Package::V2.
  908. - Switch Dpkg::Checksums from using checksum programs to the more portable
  909. Digest modules. Obsolete the 'program' property, and add a 'name' one.
  910. - Add support for $DEFAULT_TEXT_DOMAIN to Dpkg::Gettext, so that the Dpkg
  911. perl modules can always produce localized messages.
  912. - Fix OpenPGP Armor Header Line parsing in Dpkg::Control::Hash. We should
  913. only accept [\r\t ] as trailing whitespace, although RFC4880 does not
  914. clarify what whitespace really maps to, we should really match the GnuPG
  915. implementation anyway, as that's what we use to verify the signatures.
  916. Reported by Jann Horn <jann@thejh.net>. Fixes CVE-2015-0840.
  917. - Pass PATCH_GET environment variable instead of -g0 to the patch command
  918. in Dpkg::Source::Patch. This allows using non-GNU patch programs, like
  919. FreeBSD's patch.
  920. - Accept an %opts argument for the Dpkg::Control::Info constructor, and
  921. accept either passing a filename option as undef, or a scalar undef.
  922. Closes: #782019
  923. - Do not print on undef filehandle in Dpkg::Control::Info output().
  924. Thanks to Roderich Schupp <roderich.schupp@gmail.com>. Closes: #781887
  925. - Always sort the Dpkg::Dist::Files files list on output, instead of
  926. preserving the insertion order, which is not reproducible with parallel
  927. builds. Reported by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
  928. - Add new filter() method to Dpkg::Substvars.
  929. - Kill the process when reaching timeout in Dpkg::IPC::wait_child().
  930. * Test suite:
  931. - Check perl code compilation, warnings and strictness.
  932. - Fix dpkg-divert unit test to work on BSD «rm -rf» that cannot traverse
  933. directories with mode 000.
  934. - Fix dpkg-divert unit test to work when there is no /dev/full.
  935. - Skip test cases when there is no c++filt available.
  936. - Add test cases for Dpkg::Conf and Dpkg::Checksums.
  937. - Handle libtool executables in progname unit test.
  938. - Do not use a timeout when testing cat I/O, speeds up test suite by 5s.
  939. - Reduce timeout test from 5 seconds to 1, to speed up test suite by 4s.
  940. * Build system:
  941. - Bump gettext version to 0.19:
  942. + Use --add-location=file in msgmerge and xgettext commands.
  943. + Use --porefs=noline for po4a command.
  944. - Wrap file references in man page PO files with po4a --porefs=wrap.
  945. - Fix support for cross-building dpkg:
  946. + Assume a working C99 snprintf on SUS >= v3.
  947. + Do not try to run the va_copy configure check, just check that the
  948. symbol is available.
  949. - Check that HAVE_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST is 0 instead of undefined, to fix a
  950. build failure on uclibc based systems. Closes: #777044
  951. Based on a patch by Alex Potapenko <opotapenko@gmail.com>.
  952. - Use single suffix rules instead of non-portable %-pattern rules.
  953. - Pass CC to the test suite, so that we can use a non-gcc compiler.
  954. - Call AM_PROG_AR to detect the correct system archiver to use.
  955. - Pass -Wall to automake in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, not implied by foreign.
  956. * Packaging:
  957. - Remove old trigger related Breaks and Conflicts from dpkg.
  958. - Only use stackprotectorstrong when building dpkg with gcc >= 4.9.
  959. - Switch to debhelper compatibility level 9.
  960. - Name each public-domain license with a different name.
  961. - Add missing public modules to dpkg-dev package description.

  1105. compatibility symlinks under /usr/sbin/. There are still packages
  1106. using those paths, but the relevant lintian check did not list any,

  1110. * Escape package and architecture names on control file parsing warning,

  1175. * Do trigger cycle detection after dependency checks in dependtry <= 1,

  1821. Closes: #744326
  1822. * Improvements and portability fixes to start-stop-daemon:
  1823. - When using the Linux procfs switch to use /proc/PID/status instead of
  1824. /proc/PID/stat to read the process name.
  1825. - Add a generic KVM-based implementation to initialize the entire
  1826. process list.
  1827. - Fix FreeBSD KVM code to use current kinfo_proc layout.
  1828. - Add a native FreeBSD pid_is_exec() method, which is more reliable than
  1829. the KVM-based one, and means neither linprocfs nor procfs are required
  1830. on such system anymore. Note that GNU/kFreeBSD is still using Linux
  1831. procfs code (which ends up using linprocfs).
  1832. - Fix OpenBSD KVM code to use current kinfo_proc layout.
  1833. - Detect system specific headers at configure time instead of hardcoding
  1834. their usage depending on system macros.
  1835. - Add a new --ppid matching option to check for parent PID.
  1836. Suggested by Alex Mestiashvili <mailatgoogl@gmail.com>.
  1837. - On GNU/Hurd do not link unnecessarily against libshouldbeinlibc and
  1838. libihash.
  1839. * Set TAR preprocessor variable at build time instead of hardcoding it.
  1840. This will allow non-GNU systems to easily use another value for their
  1841. GNU tar, which is usually either gnutar or gtar.
  1842. * Require compound literals support in the compiler at configure time.
  1843. * Fix compound literals usage with compilers in C99 mode, by not assigning
  1844. them to static variables.
  1845. * Test suite cleanup:
  1846. - Do not unnecessarily shut up stdout in t-subproc.
  1847. - Test command_exec() exit code.
  1848. - Test allocations with new test_alloc() instead of pass/fail macros.
  1849. - Switch C test suite to use TAP.
  1850. * Add support for Packages-files in dpkg --update-avail and --merge-avail
  1851. from pipes, or standard input if the argument is omitted or is ‘-’.
  1852. Closes: #357093, #367297
  1853. * Error out on not-installed packages passed to «dpkg --verify».
  1854. * Deprecate compressing .deb files with bzip2, by making dpkg-deb issue a
  1855. warning, as the compressor has been superseded by xz when it comes to
  1856. compression ratio, and in cases where higher compatibility or raw speed
  1857. is desired gzip is still the better option. Although unpacking will be
  1858. kept being supported to handle existing bzip2 compressed .deb files.
  1859. * Use GNU tar's --no-unquote when using -T in dpkg-deb to avoid mangling
  1860. filenames. Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>. Closes: #743687
  1861. * Backup all databases with user data, not just the status database.
  1862. * Add Conflicts to dpkg against packages using install-info that were
  1863. removed after lenny or squeeze, but may have survived upgrades to wheezy.
  1864. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>. Closes: #735159

  3505. should be that it uses its own logfile /var/log/alternatives.log (rotated
  3506. like dpkg.log).
  3507. * Implement new --unapply-patches option for dpkg-source with source formats
  3508. 2.0 and 3.0 (quilt) that unapplies the patches after a successful build.
  3509. This option can be put in debian/source/local-options in the package VCS
  3510. repository for instance.
  3511. * Implement new --abort-on-upstream-changes option for dpkg-source with
  3512. source formats 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 (quilt). It aborts every time that you try
  3513. to build a source package which contains (unmanaged) changes to the
  3514. upstream source code. Closes: #579012
  3515. * dpkg-source now captures the output of patch and prints it on error so
  3516. that the user can better diagnose what went wrong. Closes: #575304
  3517. * Fix Dpkg::Changelog to cope properly with an entry of version "0".
  3518. Add non-regression test for this. Closes: #587382
  3519. * Add --export command to dpkg-buildflags to be used in shell with eval.
  3520. * Modify source format "3.0 (git)" to use git bundles. Thanks to Joey Hess
  3521. for the patch.
  3522. The usage of git bundle avoids distributing cruft. Closes: #477954
  3523. It's no longer needed to tell which branch contains the debian packaging,
  3524. it uses automatically the one that was used at build-time. Closes: #534637
  3525. * Pass --no-name option to gzip to avoid encoding the timestamp in the file
  3526. so that the result is more predictable. Closes: #587724
  3527. Also pass --rsyncable to make source packages more rsync friendly.
  3528. * Replace dpkg-source's tar ignore pattern "*~" with "*/*~" to avoid
  3529. matching on the top level directory. Closes: #588265
  3530. * In source formats "2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)", make sure to remove the
  3531. upstream-provided debian directory before copying the debian-provided
  3532. version of that directory in place. Closes: #590297

  3537. - Add versioned Build-Depends.
  3538. * Fix variable usage after delete in dselect.
  3539. * Change default configure admindir to LOCALSTATEDIR/lib/dpkg from
  3540. LOCALSTATEDIR/dpkg, so that we can use a correct --localstatedir=/var.
  3541. * Add two new dpkg options --path-exclude and --path-include for filtering
  3542. files on package installation. This allows embedded systems to skip
  3543. /usr/share/doc, manpages, etc. Based on work from Tollef Fog Heen and

  3550. * Rewrite dpkg-divert in C.
  3551. * Use linux-any wildcard for libselinux1-dev Build-Depends instead of
  3552. using a list of negated architectures.
  3553. * Use Breaks instead of Conflicts in dpkg, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl binary
  3554. packages.
  3555. * Move Dpkg.pm and Dpkg/Gettext.pm from dpkg to libdpkg-perl.
  3556. * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1.

  3563. * On dpkg-divert --rename, check if the source file exists, and disable
  3564. renaming if it does not. Closes: #550252
  3565. As a side effect, this avoids useless errors when the destination
  3566. directory is not existent or writable. Closes: #581544
  3567. * Properly compute the longest package description from all to be displayed
  3568. on “dpkg-query --list”, so that it does not get incorrectly trimmed.

  3885. * Do not set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage when cross-building.
  3886. The proper solution to this is to let the build system choose the

  3926. [ Modestas Vainius ]
  3927. * Implement symbol patterns (Closes: #563752). From now on, it is possible to
  3928. match multiple symbols with a single entry in the symbol file template.
  3929. While the concept is not new (wildcards also match multiple symbols),
  3930. patterns cover much more ground and are a lot more flexible. Together with
  3931. the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported:
  3932. - c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by
  3933. c++filt);
  3934. - symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature
  3935. which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented
  3936. on top of the new framework;
  3937. - regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression.
  3938. Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense.
  3939. * As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation,
  3940. patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a
  3941. pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result,
  3942. dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are
  3943. present in the symbol file (Closes: #541464). Please note, however, that
  3944. there is no way to detect symbol changes in the pattern match sets.
  3945. * Add source version to the dpkg-gensymbols diff label, reformat it according
  3946. to the rules of dpkg-name.
  3947. * Add -a<arch> option to dpkg-gensymbols.
  3948. * Add -q option to dpkg-gensymbols. -c0 will never fail but still generate a
  3949. diff. Use -c0 -q to keep dpkg-gensymbols completely quiet as before
  3950. (Closes: #568228).

  4683. with a broken symlink (instead let the current action fix it).

  4687. in some cases where it wanted to when the source file didn't exist.

  4701. any debian/rules target with the proper build environment.
  4702. Closes: #477916
  4703. * Move update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride to /usr/bin
  4704. but keep compatibility symlinks in /usr/sbin for the squeeze release
  4705. until all maintainer scripts are fixed (see
  4706. https://lintian.debian.org/tags/command-with-path-in-maintainer-script.html).
  4707. Closes: #216606
  4708. * Use dh_lintian to install lintian overrides. Build-Depends on debhelper
  4709. (>= 6.0.7) for this. Update debhelper compatibility level to 6 at the same
  4710. time.
  4711. * Drop cleanup-info script.
  4712. * Reset umask to 0022 in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols to ensure that
  4713. files created in the DEBIAN directory have sane permissions.
  4714. Closes: #516481
  4715. * Rewrite update-alternatives (so that we can understand it again) and
  4716. implement new features on top of it:
  4717. - the --config output is now sorted. Closes: #437060
  4718. - it now logs information to /var/log/dpkg.log. Closes: #445270
  4719. - it forbids reusing master alternative as slave and vice-versa.
  4720. Closes: #342566
  4721. - it forbids reusing alternative links managed by other alternatives
  4722. - new sanity checks on --install parameters. Closes: #423176
  4723. - install slave link only if the corresponding slave file is available.
  4724. Closes: #143701
  4725. - new option --get-selections to export the configuration of all
  4726. alternatives. It's a simple way to discover the name of all available
  4727. alternatives. Closes: #273406, #392429
  4728. - new option --set-selections to reconfigure a set of alternatives in
  4729. a single command.
  4730. * Document in update-alternatives(8) how one can repair all broken
  4731. alternatives with a single command. Closes: #250258, #395556
  4732. * Modify dpkg-gensymbols to replace #PACKAGE# on the fly while installing
  4733. symbols files so that package having libraries whose name varies between
  4734. architectures do not need to hardcode the package name. Closes: #517264

  5147. concerns upgrading from dpkg version older than the one in oldstable
  5148. already. And thus we get rid of old the last usage of read in those
  5149. scripts (fixes lintian's warning read-in-maintainer-script).

  5151. kept it for all other fields (Enhances, Conflicts, Replaces, Breaks,
  5152. Build-Conflicts and Build-Conflicts-Indep).
  5153. * Instead changed dpkg-shlibdeps to sort the dependencies generated in

  5155. * Changed the logic of simplification of dependencies: if any dependency
  5156. must be discarded due to another dependency appearing further
  5157. in the field, the superseding dependency will take the place of the
  5158. discarded one. Added a test case for this.
  5159. * dpkg-shlibdeps properly accounts usage of symbols provided by private
  5160. libraries without SONAME. Closes: #469838

  5164. activate. By default, do not activate the warning about useless
  5165. libraries at the binary level (instead the new warning above is activated
  5166. by default: it's less strict and more useful).
  5167. * dpkg-source has been heavily refactored to make it easier to support
  5168. multiple source package formats. Several new source package formats have
  5169. been added:
  5170. - the format "2.0" is the original wig&pen
  5171. - the format "3.0 (quilt)" is based on 2.0. It uses a tarball for the
  5172. debian directory and can thus include binary files. Binaries
  5173. outside of the debian directory can be also included if they
  5174. are listed in debian/source/include-binaries (and option
  5175. --include-binaries will generate this file automatically).
  5176. Closes: #4588, #4628
  5177. - thus it will also preserve timestamps on Debian-provided
  5178. documentation like README.Debian. Closes: #366555
  5179. - it handles an explicit series of patches and the patch can thus be
  5180. named without constraints. Patches can contain arbitrary
  5181. headers/comments between file chunks. Closes: #363018
  5182. - it ignores changes on a number of temporary and VCS-specific files
  5183. by default. Closes: #203792, #323909
  5184. - the patches in debian/patches can remove files. Closes: #12564
  5185. - the patches are applied at unpack time. Closes: #463048
  5186. - the formats "3.0 (quilt/native)" don't include VCS directories by
  5187. default. Closes: #435126
  5188. - the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package
  5189. containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can
  5190. generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way
  5191. (like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918
  5192. - the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based
  5193. on corresponding VCS repositories. Thanks to Joey Hess and Colin Watson
  5194. respectively.
  5195. * dpkg-source has a new --no-check option. It disables GPG check and
  5196. checksums checks. Closes: #220758
  5197. * dpkg-shlibdeps is now able to look into directories containing libraries
  5198. used by cross-built binaries provided that the right environment variable
  5199. are set. Closes: #453267
  5200. * Change default value of LDFLAGS (set by dpkg-buildpackage) to ''
  5201. instead of '-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions'. It's safer at this point of the
  5202. release cycle.
  5203. * dpkg-buildpackage will set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR (but not override an existing
  5204. value) in case of cross-compilation so that pkgconfig finds .pc files
  5205. in the directory specific to the target architecture. Closes: #439979

  7687. * Add support for an Uploaders field, which is read from the first
  7688. paragraph of debian/control, and propagated to the .dsc. This lists
  7689. the people allowed to upload a package. If it is not set, then the

  8176. * Move to version 1.6 to reflect the amount of changes made
  8177. * Fix mixup with Czech and Polish translations, Closes: Bug# 48986
  8178. * utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Added ability for user.group arg to
  8179. --chuid. Also, always call initgroups() when using --chuid.
  8180. * utils/start-stop-daemon.8: Document above change, also add note to the
  8181. --make-pidfile option concerning its problem with daemons that fork

  8183. dpkg (1.4.1.19) unstable; urgency=low
  8184. * Fix replaces for dpkg-dev
  8185. * Add gettext-support to dselect
  8186. * Added Czech and Polish translations for dpkg
  8187. * Fixed incorrect patch for --print-architecture (oops, oh well
  8188. it was already broken when there was no gcc anyway :)
  8189. * Fixed missing mipseb that was supposed to be in the archtable
  8190. * Better output in update-alternatives --config, now shows the
  8191. current, and the preferred choices.
  8192. * dpkg-name: ignore epoch when getting version
  8193. * 50dpkg-dev.el: add it as a conffile for dpkg-dev
  8194. * internals.sgml: Removed references to the versions of build tools,
  8195. they date the document.
  8196. * debian-changelog-mode.el: added hint for better log-email handling
  8197. * Added recognition for new source-depends fields for policy
  8198. referenced in bug #41232
  8199. * dpkg-buildpackage: add -ap option to force a pause prior to starting
  8200. the sign process. This helps for people who don't keep their signatures
  8201. on the filesystem (on a floppy perhaps, then mount as needed).
  8202. * minor script corrections
  8203. * dpkg-dev control: Change gcc to c-compiler in the recommends field, and
  8204. move cpio, patch and make to the depends line
  8205. * Leave file info intact in available when installing packages. MD5sum,
  8206. Filename, and MSDOS-Filename used to get lost when installing a
  8207. package.
  8208. * Added armv4l to archtable
  8209. * Added 'D' to the list of choices for conffile handling, closes: #48137
  8210. * Converted internals.sgml to debiandoc format. Also added a dpkg-doc
  8211. package that contains the generated output from this file (.ps, .html
  8212. and .info), includes doc-base support. Internals.sgml is also not
  8213. generated on the binary-arch target, and is no longer "byhand"
  8214. * dpkg-gencontrol: add "Source" to the fields placed in the control file
  8215. * dpkg-parsechangelog: fixed loop for parsepath (#48526)
  8216. * main/{processarc.c,depcon.c}: added new structure for conflictors,
  8217. which contains a struct for conflicts. This is used to create an array
  8218. of conflicting packages, which are going to be replaced. Allows for
  8219. multiple conflicts and replaces. All conflictor handlers were
  8220. converted to loops to handle each one (processarc.c).
  8221. * dpkg-divert: Fix check for writable filesystem, closes: #48646

  8226. dpkg (1.4.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
  8227. * Add support for long filenames, along with --assert-longfilenames
  8228. * Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
  8229. a different uid when starting a process
  8230. * Add mipseb and mipsel to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
  8231. both viable names for the mips big endian arch, and mipsel is also needed
  8232. * Update dpkg-architecure's archtable
  8233. * Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
  8234. of the registered alternatives for a specific name
  8235. * Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
  8236. and uses
  8237. * Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
  8238. it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor in dselect
  8239. * Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
  8240. * Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
  8241. when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
  8242. this is just a documentation fix).
  8243. * Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
  8244. it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
  8245. * Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
  8246. a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
  8247. * Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
  8248. * When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
  8249. packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
  8250. and continue.
  8251. * Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
  8252. the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
  8253. output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
  8254. * Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
  8255. we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
  8256. already generated anyway
  8257. * Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
  8258. to libtool itself after running configure
  8259. * Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
  8260. Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
  8261. arch
  8262. * Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
  8263. this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
  8264. different in layout
  8265. * Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
  8266. for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
  8267. largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
  8268. * debian/rules: chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
  8269. in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
  8270. distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
  8271. simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
  8272. source.
  8273. * Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
  8274. pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
  8275. * When running --configure on an already installed package, just
  8276. say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
  8277. state
  8278. * Fixed some compiler warnings
  8279. * Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
  8280. since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
  8281. borked in the first place
  8282. * Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
  8283. * Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
  8284. * start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
  8285. * update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
  8286. are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
  8287. to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
  8288. * dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
  8289. destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
  8290. changing the diversion registry
  8291. * Fix bad regex in update-rc.d

  9397. * dpkg --auto-deconfigure option (used automatically by dselect) allows
  9398. `important' packages which many others depend on to be split.
  9399. * dpkg should no longer fail an assertion during complicated
  9400. multiple configurations involving packages which are on hold.
  9401. * update-alternatives supports negative priorities.
  9402. * /etc/alternatives is included in the .deb archive.
  9403. * Package priorities changed: Required (Req), Important (Imp), Standard (Std),
  9404. Optional (Opt) and Extra (Xtr). For backward compatibility Base is an
  9405. alias for Required, and Recommended is kept as a level just below Standard.
  9406. * dselect shows introductory help screen when entering package lists (both
  9407. main and recursive).
  9408. * dselect help messages made more friendly.
  9409. * dselect package list `quit, confirm, and check dependencies' key is
  9410. now Return rather than lowercase `q'; likewise method list `select this
  9411. one and configure it' key.
  9412. * dselect selects packages with priority `standard' or better by default.
  9413. * dselect `v=verbose' becomes `v=terse' when in verbose mode.
  9414. * hard disk method unmounts /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt on failure.
  9415. * disk methods' install message uses `stty' to find out what the
  9416. interrupt character is, and uses that in the prompt (rather than ^C).
  9417. * dpkg now tolerates ^Z characters in Packages files.
  9418. * harddisk method doesn't display extra slash when updating packages file.
  9419. * harddisk method burbles less if it doesn't have a good default.
  9420. * dpkg-deb now supports new flexible format, but old format still default.

  9422. dpkg (0.93.75) BETA; priority=MEDIUM
  9423. * dselect no longer segfaults when you try to modify the last item.
  9424. * dselect Makefile compiles with -g, and links without -s, but installs
  9425. with -s, so that built source directory has debugabble binary.
  9426. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Tue, 12 Sep 1995 02:59:29 +0100
  9427. dpkg (0.93.74) BETA; priority=LOW
  9428. * dpkg-split implemented and installed in /usr/bin/dpkg-split.
  9429. (NB this is not compatible with Carl Streeter's old dpkg-split script.)
  9430. * dpkg uses dpkg-split.
  9431. * floppy disk method available - NB this is a first attempt only.
  9432. * hard disk method uses --merge-avail rather than --update-avail.
  9433. * installation by default of `standard' packages removed again.
  9434. (I don't think this is the right place to do this.)
  9435. * update-alternatives --remove correctly deletes all slave links;
  9436. minor cosmetic improvements.
  9437. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Mon, 11 Sep 1995 02:06:05 +0100
  9438. dpkg (0.93.73) BETA; priority=LOW
  9439. * dselect multi-package selection now done by `divider' lines
  9440. actually in the package list, rather than horizontal highlight
  9441. movement.
  9442. * dselect help available, and keybindings rationalised.
  9443. * postinst removes /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/hd if upgrading from
  9444. 0.93.42.3 or earlier.
  9445. * `hold' flag changed to be settable by the user only, and
  9446. made orthogonal to the `reinstallation required' flag.
  9447. * dpkg will install by default any packages with priority of
  9448. `standard' or better unless they're explicitly deselected.
  9449. * dselect dependency/conflict resolution will suggest marking absent
  9450. packages for `purge' rather than `deinstall'.
  9451. * disk method script produces message about invoking dpkg.
  9452. * dpkg produces warning, not error, when it gets EPERM trying to
  9453. remove a directory belonging to a package being removed.
  9454. * dpkg, dpkg-deb usage error reporting improved.
  9455. * dselect detects too-dumb terminals and stops.
  9456. * dpkg-deb(8) updated a little (thanks to Bill Mitchell).
  9457. * dselect debugmake script uses -O0.

  9463. Class -> Priority.

  9466. * dpkg doesn't silently overwrite `new' conffiles (Bug#1283).
  9467. * case now not significant in Essential, Status and Class (Bug#1280).
  9468. * dselect checks method scripts for execute, not for write.
  9469. * spelling fixes in lib/dbmodify.c and dselect/helpmsgs.src.
  9470. * dselect `clean' target deletes helpmsgs.cc and helpmsgs.cc.new.

  9476. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Wed, 9 Aug 1995 22:18:55 +0100
  9477. dpkg (0.93.69) BETA; priority=MEDIUM
  9478. * dpkg --configure and --remove should work properly when
  9479. they have to defer processing (this tends to happen when many
  9480. packages are processed at once). (Bug#1209.)
  9481. * dpkg --configure and --remove work better when `processing'
  9482. several related packages with --no-act.
  9483. * dpkg --auto is now two options, --pending or -a (for configure,
  9484. remove, &c) and --recursive or -R (for install, unpack, &c).
  9485. * dpkg debug options in usage message, and values available (-Dh).
  9486. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Wed, 9 Aug 1995 22:18:55 +0100
  9487. dpkg (0.93.68) BETA; priority=MEDIUM
  9488. * dpkg won't get an internal error if you try to use the default
  9489. conffiles response (ie, if you just hit return). (Bug#1208.)
  9490. * dselect hard disk and CD-ROM methods - the real thing, but ALPHA.
  9491. * dselect allows you to go straight to `update' or `install' if
  9492. you have already set up an access method.
  9493. * new dpkg options --yet-to-unpack, --merge-avail and --update-avail.
  9494. * dpkg -G is an abbreviation for dpkg --refuse-downgrade.

  9506. * dpkg will correctly remove overwritten files from the lists of
  9507. the package(s) that used to contain them.
  9508. * dpkg --purge is now an action, rather than a modifier for --remove,
  9509. and the -P alias for it is withdrawn.
  9510. * dpkg --unpack/--install filenames in messages are now more sensible
  9511. about when to use .../ (show as many trailing components as possible
  9512. in 40 characters, or the whole path if that the last component is
  9513. longer than that).
  9514. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Thu, 3 Aug 1995 02:11:03 +0100
  9515. dpkg (0.93.65) ALPHA; priority=MEDIUM
  9516. * dpkg --remove should, when a package being removed is depended-on
  9517. by another that is also queued for removal, defer the depended-on
  9518. package rather than aborting it. (Bug#1188.)
  9519. * dpkg will not attempt to configure or remove a package more than
  9520. once in the same run. (Bug#1169.)
  9521. * dpkg cosmetic fix to dependency problems message (this bug

  9525. dpkg (0.93.64) ALPHA; priority=MEDIUM
  9526. * dpkg marks a package as no longer `to be configured in this run'
  9527. when an error occurs, so that other packages which depend on it
  9528. will fail (rather than causing a loop and an assertion failure,
  9529. packages.c:166: failed assertion `dependtry <= 4').
  9530. * dselect initial selection granularity is single-package.
  9531. * dpkg --no-also-select option renamed to --selected-only (old option
  9532. still accepted, but no longer in --help). Changed -N to -O.
  9533. * dselect `update' option changed to `install' (and other options
  9534. renamed too). NB: old access methods will not work, because
  9535. the `update' script should now be an `install' script.
  9536. * dselect `installation methods' renamed to `access methods'.
  9537. * dpkg --skip-same-version and --refuse-downgrade produce friendlier
  9538. messages when they skip packages.
  9539. * --licence option now properly mentioned in all programs' --version
  9540. messages.
  9541. * bad fix for ELF compile problem involving myopt.h removed (compile

  9543. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Tue, 1 Aug 1995 03:03:58 +0100
  9544. dpkg (0.93.63) ALPHA; priority=LOW
  9545. * preinst works around shell bug/misfeature involving `trap'.
  9546. * dpkg --skip-same-version doesn't skip packages which have
  9547. an error flag set or which aren't in a standard `installed' state.
  9548. * dpkg --search now does a substring search if the string doesn't
  9549. start with a wildcard character (*, [ or ?) or slash.
  9550. * problem with C/C++ linkage of stuff in "myopt.h" fixed, to help
  9551. with compiling with GCC 2.7.0.
  9552. * dselect Makefile.in `clean' deletes curkeys.inc &c, so that they are
  9553. not shipped in the distribution source and will be rebuilt on the
  9554. target system.

  9556. dpkg (0.93.62) ALPHA; priority=HIGH
  9557. * dpkg purges leftover control scripts from /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci,
  9558. rather than associating them with the wrong package. (Bug#1101.)
  9559. * dpkg won't `disappear' packages containing no files or directories,
  9560. nor a package required for depends/recommended. (Bug#1128.)
  9561. * dpkg follows directory symlinks. (Bug#1125.)
  9562. * dselect fixups for ELF/GCC2.7.0 compilation.

  9564. dpkg (0.93.61) ALPHA; priority=LOW
  9565. * dselect keybindings and status characters and descriptions changed
  9566. (in pursuance of Bug#1037, user interface problems, still open.)
  9567. * Some cleanups to fix mistakes discovered by ELF-GCC 2.7.0, and fixup
  9568. for newer C++ draft standard (`for' variable declaration scope change).
  9569. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Tue, 18 Jul 1995 01:42:51 +0100
  9570. dpkg (0.93.60) ALPHA; priority=HIGH
  9571. * dpkg doesn't think packages have `disappeared' if you install
  9572. several packages at once. (later reported as Bug#1132.)
  9573. * usage error messages tidied up.
  9574. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Sun, 16 Jul 1995 17:56:56 +0100
  9575. dpkg (0.93.59) ALPHA; priority=HIGH

  9582. * dpkg prints `Removing foo' message even if foo is not configured.
  9583. * dpkg only prints `serious warning: files list file ... missing'
  9584. once for each package.

  9586. dpkg (0.93.58) ALPHA; priority=HIGH
  9587. * dpkg should write out status even for packages which it has only
  9588. encountered in the `available' file so far.

  9590. dpkg (0.93.57) ALPHA; priority=LOW
  9591. * dpkg does chroot when running maintainer scripts (--instdir

  9594. dpkg (0.93.56) ALPHA; priority=HIGH

  9606. information in /var/lib/dpkg/available. (Oops.)
  9607. * dpkg --refuse-<something> now works (this broke some dselect

  9703. * Fixed segfault if no description available (Bug#735);
  9704. thanks to Peter Tobias for the bug report.
  9705. * Fixed other assorted minor bugs in description displays.
  9706. * Changed dpkg-deb --info short option from -i to -I, to make
  9707. it unique across dpkg and dpkg-deb (-i still works with
  9708. dpkg-deb for backwards compatibility).
  9709. * Produce more sensible error when main package list is empty.
  9710. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Fri, 7 Apr 1995 02:24:55 +0100
  9711. dpkg (0.93.36) BETA; priority=LOW (MEDIUM for dselect users)
  9712. * All the C code (including dselect) updated to support `provides'
  9713. (virtual packages).
  9714. * Revamped dselect's related package selection/deselection
  9715. algorithms.
  9716. * Everything can now handle arbitrary `class' values (as well
  9717. as the predefined ones which we understand and can interpret).
  9718. * Fixed bug that prevented display update when moving down a small
  9719. recursive package list in dselect.
  9720. * Column heading characters corrected from `SHOC' to `HSOC'.
  9721. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Thu, 6 Apr 1995 12:48:13 +0100

  9728. * Better algorithm for scrolling up/down when moving highlight.
  9729. * Fixed bug in display of `preformatted' extended Description lines.
  9730. (dselect is still ALPHA, but is fairly stable.)
  9731. * Improved dpkg's message when configuring a package that doesn't
  9732. exist, and when selecting or skipping a package that isn't
  9733. currently selected (during unpack processing).
  9734. * Description in control file expanded.
  9735. * Scroll back to top when changing what is in the `info' area.

  9738. package list if you'd made any changes. Ouch !
  9739. * dselect: Improved selection algorithm to show fewer extraneous
  9740. packages; improved display for unavailable packages.

  9747. * dpkg (0.93.32): Alpha dselect released and installed in
  9748. /usr/sbin/dselect.
  9749. * dpkg (0.93.32): Many portability enhancements: should now

  9751. compile better on non-Linux systems.
  9752. * dpkg (0.93.32): dpkg will not loop if its stdin disappears
  9753. and it needs to prompt.
  9754. * dpkg (0.93.32): Fixed removal dependency error to show
  9755. correct package (Bug #648).

  9759. * dpkg (0.93.32): Changes to top-level Makefile.in to improve
  9760. error trapping.
  9761. * dpkg (0.93.32): Improved Makefile `clean' and `distclean'
  9762. targets.
  9763. * dpkg (0.93.32): Deleted irrelevant `t.c' from lib and

  9768. * dpkg (0.93.32): varbuf has C++ member functions in header
  9769. #ifdef __cplusplus.

  9780. Changes in dpkg 0.93.28:

  9785. * Made findbreakcycle work (ie, break properly when cycle detected).

  9806. * More clarification of md5sum.c copyright.
  9807. * Corrected typo in ChangeLog in 0.93.24 source package.
  9808. Changes in dpkg 0.93.24:

  9810. Bug #426.
  9811. * dpkg failed to initialise status if you tried to remove or
  9812. configure a nonexistent package. Bug #419.
  9813. * install-info now handles START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY entries like:
  9814. * Gdb:: The GNU debugger.
  9815. Previously it would only accept (Bug #407):
  9816. * Gdb: (gdb). The GNU debugger.
  9817. * When installing a new foo.info[.gz], install-info now replaces
  9818. * Foo: (foo.info). The Gnoo Foo.
  9819. as well as just * Foo: (foo). ...
  9820. * Moved option parsing out of dpkg-deb into libdpkg.
  9821. * Assorted minor source code rearrangements.
  9822. * Fixed assorted copyright notices, clarified md5sum copyright.
  9823. * Corrected typo in 0.93.23 source package's ChangeLog.

  9830. added some files to the lib Makefile, and arranged for pop_cleanup().
  9831. Changes in dpkg 0.93.22:
  9832. * Fixed bug which caused dpkg to see failures of md5sum where there
  9833. were none (would also have caused dpkg to miss a real failure).
  9834. * Fixed failure to update some `status' database fields.
  9835. Changes in dpkg 0.93.21:
  9836. * Fixed error-handling bug which could corrupt database.
  9837. Changes in dpkg 0.93.20:
  9838. * Fixed bug which ran old (/var/adm/dpkg) postinst scripts.
  9839. * Fixed dpkg usage message which claimed -i => both --install & --info.
  9840. * Use Colin Plumb's MD5 code - faster, and better copyright.
  9841. * Manpages: dpkg-deb(8), deb-control(5), deb(5) - thanks to Raul
  9842. Deluth Miller. Also, an xfig picture of some C program innards.
  9843. Changes in dpkg 0.93.19:
  9844. * Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database.
  9845. * Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling.
  9846. * Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the
  9847. `dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles. This means
  9848. that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of
  9849. /etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead. However, the
  9850. link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles.
  9851. * When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that
  9852. wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't
  9853. do any prompting but just install the version from the archive.
  9854. * Corrected error message if exec of dpkg --vextract failed
  9855. and --instroot or --root specified.
  9856. * Added new --force-unpack-any option.
  9857. * Extra newline after --status output.
  9858. * Added -W options to CFLAGS.
  9859. * Fixed mistake in previous ChangeLog entry.
  9860. Changes in dpkg 0.93.18:
  9861. * Fixed invocation of dpkg-deb --vextract if --root or --instdir
  9862. not specified.
  9863. * Create /var/lib/dpkg/updates.
  9864. Changes in dpkg 0.93.17:
  9865. * install-info --remove exits with status 0 if it doesn't find the
  9866. thing to remove, instead of status 1.
  9867. * Error handling functions have __attribute__((format...)) if GCC.
  9868. * push_cleanup its arg takes void **argv instead of char **argv.
  9869. * Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops.
  9870. * dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages.
  9871. Changes in dpkg 0.93.16:
  9872. * Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'.
  9873. * install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask.
  9874. * Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail,
  9875. and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways.
  9876. * dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with
  9877. /var/{adm,lib}/dpkg. Should be faster.
  9878. * Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised.
  9879. Changes in dpkg 0.93.15:
  9880. * Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive.
  9881. * Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib.
  9882. * Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search.
  9883. * Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but
  9884. dpkg-deb not yet updated).
  9885. * Added --root, --admindir and --instdir, as well as --isok &c.
  9886. * Moved much stuff into /usr/lib/dpkg-lib.pl, rewritten status
  9887. database handling.
  9888. * Put packages in `purge' state even if `deinstall' requested if
  9889. they have no postrm and no conffiles.
  9890. * Version number comparisons fixed.
  9891. * insert-version.pl now installes lib.pl filename too.
  9892. * Strip trailing slashes when reading files from file lists.
  9893. Changes in dpkg 0.93.14:
  9894. * Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace.
  9895. * postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file.
  9896. * Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider
  9897. packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead.
  9898. * Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old
  9899. configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles.
  9900. Changes in dpkg 0.93.13:
  9901. * sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl.
  9902. * Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error
  9903. if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file.
  9904. * Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call.
  9905. * New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN
  9906. directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst.
  9907. Changes in dpkg 0.93.12:
  9908. * No longer needs *.ph files, since these appear to be broken.
  9909. * Postinst fixes up *.control files with curly brackets.
  9910. * embryo of dselect.
  9911. Changes in dpkg 0.93.11:
  9912. * New --ignore-depends option.
  9913. * This ChangeLog changed format here.
  9914. Wed Nov 30 15:38:21 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>
  9915. * dpkg 0.93.11 released.
  9916. * conffile updating fixed.

  9919. * version numbers now done automatically in dpkg and install-info.
  9920. * more debugging around conffiles updates.

  9932. * dpkg 0.93.9 released.
  9933. * dpkg.pl: Use $argument, not $package, with `--build'.
  9934. Make sure that saved postinst scripts are executable.
  9935. Tue Oct 18 09:40:57 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  9936. * dpkg 0.93.8 released.
  9937. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir ()
  9938. when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this
  9939. case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and
  9940. are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence).
  9941. Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  9942. * Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards.
  9943. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are
  9944. removed LAST! This will result in complete removal of packages
  9945. when --remove is called. dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems
  9946. with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which
  9947. will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time.
  9948. * deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name.
  9949. Tue Oct 4 12:27:10 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  9950. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): When a list file cannot be
  9951. opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
  9952. * deb/util.c (return_info): When a control file cannot be opened,
  9953. silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
  9954. * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Exit 0 if the regular expression is
  9955. matched and 1 if it is not.
  9956. Mon Oct 3 18:38:53 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  9957. * dpkg.pl: New file. Replaces dpkg.sh.
  9958. * deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'.
  9959. * deb/build.c (pkg_build): `--build' is less verbose, instead
  9960. letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
  9961. * deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto.
  9962. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto.
  9963. * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto.
  9964. * deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose,
  9965. instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
  9966. The ``Description:'' label has been removed.
  9967. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose,
  9968. instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
  9969. The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer
  9970. information.
  9971. Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  9972. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' now reports the
  9973. version number of dpkg if no argument is specified.
  9974. Thu Sep 1 13:31:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  9975. * dpkg 0.93.7 released.
  9976. * deb/build.c (pkg_build): check status and exit if non-zero.
  9977. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): ditto.
  9978. * deb/install.c (archive_extract): ditto.
  9979. Thu Sep 1 13:20:08 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  9980. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): indent to the same point as
  9981. pkg_describe.
  9982. Thu Sep 1 12:21:11 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  9983. * Makefile.in (dist): added debian.rules binary, source and
  9984. dist targets to make final distribution easier to make.
  9985. (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
  9986. * deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
  9987. * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters
  9988. for the package name in the output.
  9989. (pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for
  9990. the front-end to parse the output.
  9991. (pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description
  9992. with '\0'.
  9993. * deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to
  9994. ensure that permissions are preserved.
  9995. Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  9996. * dpkg 0.93.6 released.
  9997. * deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is
  9998. true!
  9999. Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10000. * dpkg 0.93.5 released.
  10001. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents
  10002. into function pkg_contents.
  10003. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so
  10004. that symbolic links are recognized.
  10005. (pkg_contents): print the usual `<path> -> <link_to>' now that we
  10006. recognize symbolic links.
  10007. * deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed
  10008. information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory
  10009. in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do.
  10010. Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10011. * lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed
  10012. area.
  10013. (mk_mode_string): ditto.
  10014. * dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a
  10015. uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation.
  10016. * dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during
  10017. package removal.
  10018. * dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure.
  10019. * deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and
  10020. is a Debian archive before doing anything.
  10021. * deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and
  10022. is a Debian archive before doing anything.
  10023. * deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done.
  10024. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that
  10025. --remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a
  10026. directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic
  10027. link never being removed at all.
  10028. ChangeLog begins Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 for dpkg 0.93.5.
