dpkg/ChangeLog

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

	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.1.

2005-03-03  Michael Vogt  <mvo@ubuntu.com>

	* src/configure.c (promptconfaction): Output conffile-prompt
	status onto status-fd to let front-ends capture conflicts.
	* src/errors.c (print_error_perpackage): Output package errors
	onto status-fd to let front-ends capture them.
	* man/C/dpkg.1: Document how errors and configuration file
	conflicts are reported on the status-fd.

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

	* man/C/dpkg.1: Remove --print-gnu-build-architecture and
	--print-installation-architecture from documentation, correct
	--print-architecture.
	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Give --print-architecture in examples,
	instead of --print-installation-architecture.
	* scripts/dpkg-name.sh (getname): Call 'dpkg --print-architecture'
	instead of 'dpkg --print-installation-architecture'.
	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Set the default $pkgdatadir to
	point at an installed copy.
	Call 'dpkg --print-architecture' instead of
	'dpkg --print-installation-architecture'.
	* methods/disk/setup (iarch): Call dpkg --print-architecture.
	* debian/control ([dpkg-dev]Depends, [dselect]Depends): Depend on
	dpkg (>= 1.13.1) so we get a dpkg with the right print options.

	* src/enquiry.c (printarch): Completely nuke this function, we'll
	no longer parse the compiler output and look up things in archtable.
	(printinstarch): Rename to printarch, and change the output message
	to refer to --print-architecture.
	(badlgccfn): Remove unused function.
	* src/main.c (cmdinfos): Remove --print-gnu-build-architecture option,
	make --print-installation-architecture call printarch.
	(usage): Remove both --print-gnu-build-architecture and
	--print-installation-architecture and describe --print-architecture
	as doing what --p-i-a used to do.  Use dpkg-architecture for host
	information.
	* src/main.h (action): Remove act_printgnuarch from enum, leave
	act_printinstarch so we can later deprecate use of the longer command.
	* src/Makefile.am (archtable.h): No need to generate archtable.h
	seeing as we don't parse it within dpkg, remove rule to generate it.
	(CLEANFILES): We don't generate archtable.h, so no need to clean it.
	* src/.arch-inventory: Don't treat archtable.h specially.
	* archtable: Remove unused third field, entirely inaccurate too.
	Correct typo 'she3eb' -> 'sh3eb'.
	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl (read_archtable): Parse only two
	fields from archtable.

	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Remove out-of-date history from the
	top, ChangeLog serves better now and is less confusing.
	Reset $gcc if we get less than, or more than one archtable result.
	Remove extra newline from mismatched -a/-t warning.
	(usageversion): Pedant the usage message while we scroll past.
	(read_archtable): New function to read /usr/share/dpkg/archtable
	rather than hard-coding some values in the script.
	(rewrite_gnu): Rewrite along the lines of the code in m4/arch.m4 so
	they should actually be vaguely consistent now.

	* scripts/Makefile.am (do_perl_subst): Replace occurances of
	$pkgdatadir in scripts with the right value.

2005-01-22  Robert Millan  <rmh@debian.org>,

	* configure.ac: Check for kvm.h.
	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Remove includes for <sys/user.h>,
	<sys/sysctl.h> and <kvm.h> for the BSDs unless configure found
	<kvm.h>.
	(fatal): Output the message associated with errno.

2005-01-22  Rakesh 'arky' Ambati  <rakesh_ambati@yahoo.com>

	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Correct typo, 'filed' to 'failed'.

2005-01-22  Robert Millan  <rmh@debian.org>,
	    Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* m4/arch.m4 (DPKG_CPU_TYPE): Add a new macro to turn common
	groups of CPU names into a single type (e.g. i*86 to i386).
	(DPKG_OS_TYPE): Match linux*-gnu* for Linux (in case we get a
	non-GNU Linux at some point) and produce a 'linux' type.  Remove
	the initial '*' from the rest of the entries.  Restore gnu* as
	gnu (for the Hurd).  Add support for darwin* as darwin.  Sort
	into almost-alphabetical order with i386/linux at the top.
	(DPKG_ARCHITECTURE): Call DPKG_CPU_TYPE and use $cpu_type instead of
	$target_cpu.
	* archtable: Rewrite the top comment to be a little clearer and
	correct the lie that the third column is 'dpkg --print-architecture'
	when it is, in fact, 'dpkg --print-gnu-build-architecture'.  Correct
	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  Robert Millan  <rmh@debian.org>

	* archtable: Add x86_64-kfreebsd to archtable as 'kfreebsd-amd64'.
	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Add 'kfreebsd-amd64' to archtable.

2005-01-22  NIIBE Yutaka  <gniibe@fsij.org>

	* archtable: Add m32r-linux-gnu to archtable as 'm32r'.
	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Add 'm32r' to archtable.

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

	* src/query.c (cmdinfos): Make -f alternative for --showformat.
	* src/query.c (usage): Document that -f is alternative for
	--showformat.
	* man/C/dpkg-query.1: Update documentation to match.

2005-01-22  Stephane Bortzmeyer  <stephane@sources.org>

	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl (diff_ignore_default_regexp): Add the
	darcs _darcs directory to the ignore list.

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
	input, it now simply outputs the md5sum and does not append "  -"
	or " *-" on the end.

2005-01-22  Adam Heath  <doogie@debian.org>

	* lib/tarfn.c (TarExtractor): Fix handling of GNU longname and
	longlink support when there is both types for the same file entry
	in a tarball.

2005-01-19  Dafydd Harries  <daf@muse.19inch.net>

	* man/C/dpkg-source.1: Make the summary for dpkg-source -b invocation
	in the manpage match that output by dpkg-source --help. (I.e. indicate
	the possibility of specifying the upstream tarball rather than the
	upstream source directory as a second parameter.)

2005-01-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* debian/dpkg.preinst (confirm_dselect_split): Support pre-sarge
	upgrades by checking that they've upgraded dselect first, and
	prompting if they haven't.

2005-01-14  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

	* .arch-inventory: Ignore the upload result file as well.

	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.1~.

	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.0.

	* dpkg-deb/main.c (main): Remove NONRETURNING declaration as
	this function does actually call return sometimes.
	* dpkg-split/main.c (main): Remove NONRETURNING declaration as
	this function does actually call return sometimes.
	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c (main): Remove NONRETURNING declaration
	as this function does actually call return sometimes.
	* m4/compiler.m4 (SJR_COMPILER_WARNINGS): Enable warnings for CXX
	too, my original macro doesn't do this.
	
	* configure.ac: Use AC_GNU_SOURCE to get some of the extra goodies
	in the GNU C library, use DPKG_C_C99 to test for C99 features.
	* m4/compiler.m4 (DPKG_C_C99): New macro to determine whether
	compiler supports C99 features.
	(SJR_COMPILER_WARNINGS): Don't use -pedantic yet, dpkg isn't ready
	for it.

	* lib/dpkg.h: Provide C99-conformant variadic macros if the
	compiler supports them in place of gnu-style ones.
	* lib/tarfn.c: Add missing include of config.h to get some useful
	information (and prototype of strnlen).
	* src/help.c: Cast arguments to (char * const *) explicitly.
	* dpkg-deb/main.c: Include dpkg-db.h to get nffreeall prototype.
	* .arch-inventory: Ignore config.cache if the user uses it.

	* scripts/controllib.pl: Add #!/usr/bin/perl to satisfy lintian.
	* debian/control ([dpkg]Pre-Depends): Needs to pre-depend on shlibs
	dependencies like libc6, accidentally dropped earlier.
	([dpkg-dev]Recommends): Added gcc as first choice for c-compiler.
	* debian/rules: Generate shlibdeps for all arch packages, not just
	dselect (so we get them for dselect too).
	* debian/.arch-inventory: Ignore dpkg.substvars.
	* debian/dpkg.conffiles: Removed, debhelper does the right thing.
	* debian/dpkg-dev.conffiles: Removed, debhelper does the right thing.
	* debian/dselect.conffiles: Removed, debhelper does the right thing.
	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Updated for debian directory changes.
	(package): Add missing distdir dependency, also don't treat lintian
	problems as errors, just report them.
	* man/C/dpkg.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
	* man/C/dpkg-query.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.

	* 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.

	* 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.

	TODO anymore; it's only useful for developers.

	* scripts/Makefile.in: Remove old file.
	* scripts/Makefile.am: Replace with shiny Automake goodness.
	* src/Makefile.in: Remove old file.
	* src/Makefile.am: Replace with shiny Automake goodness, don't

	include rules to build md5sum-static.

	* dpkg-deb/build.c: Replace USE_ZLIB with WITH_ZLIB.

	* 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.
	(CONFIGDIR): Remove definition, define in Makefiles where needed.
	(LIBDIR): 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.
	(strtoul, va_copy, WCOREDUMP): Provide compatible macros for functions
	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.
	* m4/linker.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
	(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
	damage from the top, turning it into respectable nroff.
	* scripts/dpkg-scansources.pl: Remove POD documentation from script.
	
	Remove the SGML files containing the same content as the manpages,
	but which were never used to generate them.  This avoids confusion,
	and as one markup format is just as good as another, we'll settle
	on nroff's man format.
	
	* man/en/cleanup-info.8.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
	* man/en/deb-control.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
	* man/en/deb-old.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
	* man/en/deb.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
	* man/en/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.1.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
	* man/en/dpkg.8.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
	* man/en/dpkg.cfg.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
	* man/en/dselect.8.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
	* man/en/dselect.cfg.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
	* man/paths.ent.in: Remove now we have no SGML format pages.

	* attic: Remove historical interest directory, that's what version
	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'.

  * configure.in: Put the man page directories in alphabetical order.
  * man/Makefile.in: Likewise

  can be troublesome when combined with ldconfig.

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

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.

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).

  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.

    translation.  Closes: #224616

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

  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

  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>

    from cvs this time.

Mon Oct 27 13:01:12 CST 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

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

    does.

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

    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

  * man/*
    * Imported several translated manpages, from debian-doc cvs:
     * Spanish: 822-date.1 cleanup-info.8 deb-control.5 deb-old.5
       deb.5 dpkg-checkbuilddeps.1 dpkg-deb.1 dpkg-divert.8 dpkg-name.1
       dpkg-scanpackages.8 dpkg-split.8 dpkg-statoverride.8 dpkg.8
       dselect.8 md5sum.1 start-stop-daemon.8 update-alternatives.8
     * 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.

      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.

  * 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.

    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>

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

    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, 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.
    * All dependency fields now support [arch] constructs.  Those that
      don't apply for the current host_arch are removed during parsing.
    * Comment lines(those that start with '#') are ignored during parsing.
    * Store the original field's casing with 'o:' prepended in %fi.
  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl:  Because of the above controllib.pl
    changes, this script is much simpler now.
  * scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl:     
    * Use the original casing of field names when reporting unknown fields.
  * scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl, scripts/controllib.pl: After opening files,
    set binmode.

Sun Sep 14 17:24:20 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * dselect/{Makefile.in,helpmsgs.{cc,h,src},mkhelpmsgs.pl,.cvsignore}:
    No longer generate helpmsgs.{cc,h}.

Sun Sep 14 16:53:09 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/update-alternatives.{pl,8}:
    * Apply patch that provides --set and --remove-all commands.

    * Alter --config prompt, to be more clear, that one must 'press' enter
      to accept the default.
    * Fix some -w issues.

  * version-nr, debian/changelog: Set 1.10.9 version.

Thu Sep  5 16:31:11 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.

Sat Aug 31 23:42:08 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Thu Aug 29 14:31:22 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * 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.

Sat Aug 24 14:47:56 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * archtable: Add i386-gnu0.3.

    with regard to zlib.

Sat Aug 24 14:41:45 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

    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>

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>

  * utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Fix test inversion in start-stop-daemon,

    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
    and dpkg-static (ugh)

Mon Jul  1 14:45:11 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

    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

    split/main.c: Revert last modification.  It'll be fixed properly for
    dpkg 1.11.

Sat Jun  1 16:45:13 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * dpkg-deb/main.c, main/main.c, main/query.c, dselect/main.cc,

    better.

Sat Jun  1 16:17:59 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Sat Jun  1 22:04:02 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

    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
    Debian has occurred with this modified dpkg, the reordering when
    building can be removed.

Sun May 26 01:28:00 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * debian/dpkg.postinst: Fix /usr/info/dir moving/symlink code.

Sun May 26 01:10:24 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * Fix some mis-merging of the 1.9 branch:
    * debian/rules, debian/dpkg.conffiles: dselect was split to a separate
      deb, no longer install dselect.cfg into dpkg.deb.  Also, dpkg.cfg is
      no longer a conffile.
    
Sat May 25 22:45:06 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * Merge changes from 1.9.20 and 1.9.21.

    ? po.ru.po: Fix mistranslation
    * main/dpkg.8: document --force-confmiss, improve description for
      --force-conf{old,new}
    * lib/mlib.c: Detect truncated debs, and abort the unpack.
    * debian/rules: install dpkg.cfg in docdir, install dpkg.postrm.  Also
      install dselect.cfg in /etc/dpkg.
    * debian/dpkg.cfg: add force-overwrite
    * debian/dpkg.postrm: new file
    ? po/sv.po: Removed fuzzy translation.

      messages display incorrectly.
    * debian/control: Fix build-depends on zlib1g-dev to >= 1:1.1.3-19.1.
    * debian/changelog: The missing 1.9 entries.

  * scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Close the old debian/files file,

Fri May 24 22:00:01 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh, scripts/dpkg-source.pl,
    scripts/dpkg-source.1: Add -I<filename> to dpkg-buildpackage and
    dpkg-source, to excludes files from tar, when building a native
    package.

Fri May 24 21:49:52 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

Fri May 24 21:12:36 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

    'build for'.

Fri May 24 21:03:43 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

    Installed-Size.

Fri May 24 01:10:45 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

    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
    contain the most common functions that all dpkg binaries call.

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

  * lib/lock.c: Use setcloexec wrapper instead of calling fcntl directly.

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

  * TODO: Add items for --reconfigure and --call-maint-script.

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

  * lib/lock.c: Always set CLOEXEC on the lock fd.

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

  * lib/Makefile.in: Remove hash.c from SOURCES, as it is a test file.

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>

  * po/da.po: New version from Claus Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk>

Wed Apr 10 00:39:58 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

  * configure.in: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE and bump autoconf requirement to 2.50
    since 2.13 does not include AC_SYS_LARGEFILE
  * utils/md5sum.h: include config.h earlier so we pick up the LFS flags
    before including the system includefiles
  * scripts/dpkg-source.1: fix typo (shlib instead of shlibs)

Mon Apr  1 18:57:02 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

  * dselect/pkgdepcon.cc: treat enhances like suggests in
    packagelist::resolvedepcon()

Mon Mar 11 23:22:37 CST 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * configure.in: Bad Wichert.  Always modify configure.in when adding
    subdirs(add pt_BR).

Fri Mar  1 23:51:06 CST 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * Makefile.in: Allow for make -j to work thru the top-level targets.
    There are problems, however, as the system will try to compile the
    programs before libdpkg is done.

Fri Mar  1 23:27:16 CST 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * main/help.c, debian/changelog: Fix segfault with getenv("PATH") returns

  * doc/ru/*: Added Russian translations from Alexey Mahotkin
    <alexm@hsys.msk.ru>

Mon Jun 25 03:31:55 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.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
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Add a warnable error if the orig.tar.gz
      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.

    + scripts/cl-debian.pl: Change list of allowed urgencies to: low, medium,
      high, and critcial.
    + scripts/dpkg-scanpackages.pl: warn instead of die when find returns
      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
      exist in debian/control, don't promote the source arch: to any, but

Sat Jun 16 18:52:17 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * Merge changes from v1_9_10 tag:
    + scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Fix switching to auto mode if
      alternative symlink goes missing.
    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: s/DEAD_JOE/DEADJOE/
    + scripts/dpkg-divert.pl: Fix cleanup of devert.tmp files.

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>

  * configure.in: remove last list reference.

Sun Apr 29 22:39:55 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

  * lib/database.c, lib/fields.c: Fix Eterm/eterm problem.  findpackage()
    now does tolower() before searching for a name, and f_name() uses the
    name field from the return value of findpackage().

Sun Apr 29 22:08:37 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@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
    file in parsedb(), imported from head.

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

  * utils/md5sum.c: use libdpkg error handling since fd_md5 uses that
    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

    + debian/changelog: include changes for 1.6.12
    + dpkg-genchanges: recognize non-deb packages (tarballs, such as

      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.

      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

  * 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

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.

      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>

Sat Dec 25 04:04:48 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * dselect/pkgtop.cc: use waddnstr instead of waddch so we don't strip
    the 8th bit of characters
  * Replace `Debian Linux' with `Debian GNU/Linux' in some more places
  * Update Spanish translation
  * main/enquire.c: always use a minimum width of 80 in list1package

  * TODO: remove items that have been done
  * lib/showcright.c: exit(0) after showing the copyright since
    we don't exec cat anymore
  * Patch from David Huggins-Daines <dhd@eradicator.org>:
    + main/configure.c: add NULL to execlp() parameters; this fixes the random
      segfaults when showing the conffile-diff

Fri Dec 24 15:35:29 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * debian/control: add Build-Depends
  * THANKS: new file which lists everyone who contributed to the code

Wed Dec 22 12:07:40 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * debian/dpkg-doc.postrm: Use doc-name instead of file-name (probably
    need to change the filename, but I'll be lazy now :)
  * dselect/pkgdisplay.cc: Replace empty string for eflags with a space
    so gettext doesn't use the translation-info
  * po/update.sh: Generate dselect/helpmsgs.{cc,h} so we can translate them.
  * po/POTFILES.in: add dselect/helpmsgs.cc
  * dselect/Makefile.in: put helpmsgs.{cc,h} in $(srcdir), since gettext
    will barf on us if we put them in the builddir. (The real issue here is
    that when we generate the .po-files we don't know what the builddir will
    be and gettext can't handle VPATH).

    + dselect/pkgtop.cc: use ACS_HLINE instead of `-'
    + dselect/baselist.cc: change colour of column headings
    + dselect: add a new --expert mode which suppresses the display of the
      helpscreen

Tue Dec 21 15:59:35 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

Thu Nov 18 10:27:35 EST 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>

  * .. and for dpkg-source.pl as well

Mon Nov  8 17:45:50 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

    take any action on it yet though

Tue Nov  2 20:19:48 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * Fix some language mixups: our Polish translation was actually
    Czech, and we somehow lost the real Polish text..

Mon Nov  1 23:25:32 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

  * No longer translater internal errors.. we want to see the English text
    in bugreports

Fri Oct 29 20:16:43 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>

  * po/update.sh: make sure we only update when there are changes,
    also autodetect list of .po files we need to change
  * release.sh: likewise for .gmo generation

Fri Oct 29 16:51:03 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>

  * 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>

  * debian/rules: fix symlink creaton for /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev -> dpkg,
    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

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

  * Revert to hardcoding ENOENT again, since the necessary parts of

    + 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

  * Don't use PATH_MAX but allocate necessay memory in checkpath().
    Useful for system that don't have PATH_MAX (like Hurd)

  * Added gpg (GNU Privacy Guard) support:
    * scripts/buildpackage.sh: default to GPG (unless no GPG, but only a PGP

      section.
    * Worked around broken textmode implementation in GPG.

    I redirected STDERR onto fd 0 before calling getlogin().
  * tools.m4: Fix display of whether c++ works.

    fflush() move the current fpos.  Until someone can fix that,
    protect with seek.

  * Start using lchown() if available.
  * Really fix #20353. (aclocal.m4 was the wrong place; that's a generated

dpkg (1.4.0.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * dpkg-source now uses new -z option to GNU patch (still needs to be
    changed to detect and use old version as well) (fixes #9904, #10005, #10007).

    better and more standard than the previous way, but I'd welcome
    opinions to the contrary.  Consider this a 'probationary' change for
    now (fixes #9873, #9874).

    have been converted so far.  No translations have yet been
    constructed.
  * Handle 'libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40010000)' format from libc6

    Optional (Opt) and Extra (Xtr).  For backward compatibility Base is an
    alias for Required, and Recommended is kept as a level just below Standard.

  * dselect shows introductory help screen when entering package lists (both
    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 (0.93.75) BETA; priority=MEDIUM

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

  * dselect Makefile compiles with -g, and links without -s, but installs
    with -s, so that built source directory has debugabble binary.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>  Tue, 12 Sep 1995 02:59:29 +0100

dpkg (0.93.74) BETA; priority=LOW

  * dpkg-split implemented and installed in /usr/bin/dpkg-split.
    (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.
  * installation by default of `standard' packages removed again.
    (I don't think this is the right place to do this.)
  * update-alternatives --remove correctly deletes all slave links;
    minor cosmetic improvements.

  * dpkg will install by default any packages with priority of
    `standard' or better unless they're explictly deselected.

  * dselect dependency/conflict resolution will suggest marking absent
    packages for `purge' rather than `deinstall'.
  * disk method script produces message about invoking dpkg.
  * dpkg produces warning, not error, when it gets EPERM trying to
    remove a directory belonging to a package being removed.
  * dpkg, dpkg-deb usage error reporting improved.
  * dselect detects too-dumb terminals and stops.

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 -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 --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 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.

 -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>  Thu, 27 Jul 1995 13:38:47 +0100

dpkg (0.93.62) ALPHA; priority=HIGH

  * dpkg purges leftover control scripts from /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci,
    rather than associating them with the wrong package.  (Bug#1101.)

    nor a package required for depends/recommended.  (Bug#1128.)

  * dpkg follows directory symlinks.  (Bug#1125.)

    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).

    management, error handling, Makefiles &c to support dpkg.
  * dpkg-deb should now work if sizeof(void*) < sizeof(void(*)()).

    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.

	* dpkg (0.93.32): Deleted irrelevant `t.c' from lib and
	                  dselect directories.
	* dpkg (0.93.32): Added vercmp.c with version comparison code.
	* dpkg (0.93.32): varbufextend message changed - varbufs not
	                  just for input buffers.
	* 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).
* Fixed garbage output for `language' of control file in dpkg-deb --info.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.30:

* Added /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon.

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:

* Removed undef of 0x_p21 in read_database_file, which caused the
  the whole status database to become trashed when any update files
  were read.
* Make infinite-loop prevention and cycle detection work.
* Made findbreakcycle work (ie, break properly when cycle detected).
* New script, update-rc.d, to update links /etc/rc?.d/[KS]??*.
* dpkg.pl now sets the umask to 022.
* Cosmetic error message fix to dpkg-deb.
* Deleted OLD directory altogether.
* Improved error-trapping in top-level Makefile loops.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.27:

* 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*.
* Renamed `class' member of `pkginfoperfile' to `clas' [sic].
* 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.
* When installing a new foo.info[.gz], install-info now replaces
   * Foo: (foo.info).              The Gnoo Foo.
  as well as just * Foo: (foo). ...
* Moved option parsing out of dpkg-deb into libdpkg.
* Assorted minor source code rearrangements.
* Fixed assorted copyright notices, clarified md5sum copyright.
* Corrected typo in 0.93.23 source package's ChangeLog.

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.
* Corrected error message if exec of dpkg --vextract failed
  and --instroot or --root specified.
* Added new --force-unpack-any option.
* Extra newline after --status output.
* Added -W options to CFLAGS.
* Fixed mistake in previous ChangeLog entry.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.18:

* Fixed invocation of dpkg-deb --vextract if --root or --instdir
  not specified.
* Create /var/lib/dpkg/updates.

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.

	* Message `updgrade' in dpkg changed to `replace'.

	* version numbers now done automatically in dpkg and install-info.

	* 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.

Tue Oct  4 12:27:10 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * 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.

Mon Oct  3 18:38:53 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * dpkg.pl: New file.  Replaces dpkg.sh.

        * deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'.

        * deb/build.c (pkg_build): `--build' is less verbose, instead
        letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.

        * deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto.

        * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto.

        * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto.

        * deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose,
        instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
        The ``Description:'' label has been removed.

        * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose,
        instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
        The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer
        information.

Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' now reports the
        version number of dpkg if no argument is specified.

Thu Sep  1 13:31:37 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * dpkg 0.93.7 released.

        * deb/build.c (pkg_build): check status and exit if non-zero.

        * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): ditto.

        * deb/install.c (archive_extract): ditto.

Thu Sep  1 13:20:08 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * deb/version.c (pkg_version): indent to the same point as
        pkg_describe.

Thu Sep  1 12:21:11 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * Makefile.in (dist): added debian.rules binary, source and
        dist targets to make final distribution easier to make.
        (install): install programs to /usr/bin.

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

        * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters
        for the package name in the output.
        (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'.

        * deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to
        ensure that permissions are preserved.

Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * dpkg 0.93.6 released.

        * deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is
        true!

Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

        * 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)

        * lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed
        area.
        (mk_mode_string): ditto.

        * 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.
