  100. * 50dpkg-dev.el: add it as a conffile for dpkg-dev
  101. * dpkg-shlibdeps: redirect STDERR to /dev/null for the dpkg fork so we

  107. referenced in bug #41232

  109. the sign process. This helps for people who don't keep their signatures
  110. on the filesystem (on a floppy perhaps, then mount as needed).
  111. * minor script corrections
  112. * dpkg-dev control: Change gcc to c-compiler in the recommends field, and
  113. move cpio, patch and make to the depends line
  114. Thu Oct 21 10:22:43 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
  115. * Fixed the check that was added to dpkg-divert.
  116. * Removed the lib version checking.
  117. * Oops, somehow the --config feature went missing from update-
  118. alternatives
  119. Thu Oct 21 13:22:42 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  120. * Update copyright (taken from dpkg-iwj tree, with Ben added)
  121. * Add support for long filenames in tarfiles. Based on a patch
  122. from Andrew Hobson <ahobson@eng.mindspring.net>
  123. * Add a --assert-longfilenames option
  124. Thu Oct 21 06:37:24 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
  125. * Fixed some compiler warnings
  126. * Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
  127. pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
  128. * When running --configure on an already installed package, just
  129. say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
  130. state
  131. * Bah, add all the prefix/datadir... stuff back to the install
  132. target in debian/rules (po/ doesn't use it)
  133. * Add function to libdpkg that dpkg can call to make sure it's
  134. compiled version matches that of the library. If it fails,
  135. complain loudly, but allow to proceed
  136. * Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
  137. since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
  138. borked in the first place
  139. * Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
  140. * Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
  141. * start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
  142. * update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
  143. are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
  144. to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
  145. * dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
  146. destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
  147. changing the diversion registry
  148. * Fix bad regex in update-rc.d
  149. Tue Oct 19 18:07:28 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
  150. * Ok, TMPDIR usage is back in dpkg-deb and working
  151. * {include,scripts}/Makefile.am: Fix for using DESTDIR
  152. * debian/rules: really convert to DESTDIR on install target this
  153. time. chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
  154. in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
  155. distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
  156. simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
  157. source.
  158. Tue Oct 19 09:59:22 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
  159. * Reverted the new tmpfile stuff in dpkg-deb. For some reason it's
  160. completely corrupting the new package
  161. Mon Oct 18 18:40:35 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
  162. * Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
  163. this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
  164. different in layout. Note, I tested the first way and this new way
  165. against package foo (version 1 & 2) each had 5000 files (different
  166. in version 2 than in version 1). basically this meant the old way
  167. needed to do about 2.5 million lstats, and the new way only needs
  168. 10,000 lstats. This sped it up about %6000 percent (the old way took
  169. over 1 hour on a 333Mhz, the new way was 2 minutes and 20 seconds).
  170. Note that this is an extreme case since most per package upgrades
  171. a) don't have 5000 files
  172. b) don't have all the files different
  173. * Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
  174. for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
  175. largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
  176. Mon Oct 18 09:25:30 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
  177. * Add mipseb to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
  178. both viable names for the mips big endian arch
  179. * Update dpkg-architecure's archtable
  180. * Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
  181. we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
  182. already generated anyway
  183. * Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
  184. to libtool itself after running configure, much cleaner, and
  185. reversible since libtool is a generated file
  186. * Use DESTDIR when installing instead of specifying all our
  187. dest dirs seperately in the make line. Also fix some of the
  188. make files to use DESTDIR when installing files
  189. * Regenerated .po files and dpkg.pot. Also added update.sh to the po/
  190. subdir for easier regenerating for cvs only
  191. * Make release.sh generate .gmo files
  192. * Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
  193. Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
  194. arch
  195. Sun Oct 17 13:40:46 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
  196. * Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
  197. * Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
  198. when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
  199. this is just a documentation fix).
  200. * Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
  201. it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
  202. * Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
  203. a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
  204. * Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
  205. * When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
  206. packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
  207. and continue.
  208. * Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
  209. the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
  210. output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
  211. Sun Oct 17 11:51:36 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  212. * Revert to hardcoding ENOENT again, since the necessary parts of
  213. the perl POSIX module aren't in perl-*-base. sigh.
  214. Sat Oct 16 11:43:45 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
  215. * Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
  216. a different uid when starting a process
  217. * Added mipsel to the archtable for completeness
  218. * Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
  219. of the registered alternatives for a specific name
  220. * Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
  221. and uses
  222. * Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
  223. it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor
  224. Thu Oct 14 04:51:14 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  225. * Don't use Errno module but the POSIX module, since that *is*
  226. in perl-*-base
  227. * Fixup debian/rules
  228. Thu Oct 14 04:39:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  229. * Update dpkg manpage to add new --force-conf* options
  230. Thu Oct 14 04:16:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  231. * Reinstate patch to not read available-file with doing listfiles.
  232. * Don't forget to get the correct SHELL before showing a diff of
  233. conffiles!
  234. * Merge a patch from Ben Collins to add a bunch of --force options
  235. to handle changed conffiles
  236. Thu Oct 14 03:37:52 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  237. * Add mips to archtable
  238. * Use Errno module to get ENOENT instead of hardcoding it
  239. Thu Oct 14 02:47:40 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  240. * Fix C error we introduced in checkpath() earlier
  241. Wed Oct 13 20:41:16 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  242. * Update oldfile-check in process_archive so we don't experience
  243. memory corruption
  244. Wed Oct 13 17:51:17 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  245. * Merge patches from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>:
  246. + fix windowresizing in dselect
  247. + when upgrading check if a file is not also in the new package before
  248. removing it, so we don't remove new files due to symlinks confusing us
  249. + fix logic error in checkforremoval: it was breaking cycles in for the
  250. wrong package
  251. + fix findbreakcycle to remove cycles even for packages we are not changing
  252. Mon Oct 11 22:19:01 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  253. * Add the option to show a diff of the old and new conffile when
  254. configuring a package
  255. Tue Oct 12 17:15:08 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  256. * don't die if we can't open a package in dpkg-scanpackages, just print
  257. a warning and skip the package.
  258. Mon Oct 11 18:18:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  259. * Move dselect into its own package
  260. Mon Oct 11 17:37:47 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  261. * Added support for HURD to start-stop-daemon
  262. * Create new directory utils/ for extra C-programs, and move
  263. start-stop-daemon there.
  264. Mon Oct 11 15:47:18 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  265. * Preparation to move start-stop-daemon from scripts to utils
  266. * Merge patches from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>:
  267. + modify remove_buld to remove conffiles when purging a package before we
  268. remove its directories.
  269. + check if we violate conflicts/depends/pre-depends of other packages when
  270. processing an archive.
  271. Mon Oct 11 02:13:15 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  272. * Merge patch from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> to make dpkg-deb
  273. handle packages created with Linux ar.
  274. Thu Oct 7 01:16:23 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  275. * Check if sequencecode is between 0 and 99 instead of just checking
  276. for a number in update-rc.d
  277. Wed Oct 6 14:40:33 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  278. * Lock complete lockfile for database: it's empty anyway, and Hurd
  279. doesn't support partial locks currently
  280. * Don't use PATH_MAX but allocate necessay memory in checkpath().
  281. Useful for system that don't have PATH_MAX (like Hurd)
  282. Tue Oct 5 19:16:38 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  283. * Set docdir to $(datadir)/doc
  284. * Install /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dpkg-dev.el with mode 644

  291. Tue Sep 28 13:38:50 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
  292. * Make dpkg-source work again on empty diffs, patch from Roman Hodek

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

  299. * Merged patch from Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org> to make update-alternatives.pl
  300. work across filesystems

  459. secret key file is found), as GPG, unlike PGP, is DFSG-free.

  462. * Worked around broken textmode implementation in GPG.

  1366. dpkg (0.93.76) BETA; priority=MEDIUM
  1367. * dpkg --auto-deconfigure option (used automatically by dselect) allows
  1368. `important' packages which many others depend on to be split.
  1369. * dpkg should no longer fail an assertion during complicated
  1370. multiple configurations involving packages which are on hold.
  1371. * update-alternatives supports negative priorities.
  1372. * /etc/alternatives is included in the .deb archive.
  1373. * Package priorities changed: Required (Req), Important (Imp), Standard (Std),
  1374. Optional (Opt) and Extra (Xtr). For backward compatibility Base is an
  1375. alias for Required, and Recommended is kept as a level just below Standard.
  1376. * dselect shows introductory help screen when entering package lists (both
  1377. main and recursive).
  1378. * dselect help messages made more friendly.
  1379. * dselect package list `quit, confirm, and check dependencies' key is
  1380. now Return rather than lowercase `q'; likewise method list `select this
  1381. one and configure it' key.
  1382. * dselect selects packages with priority `standard' or better by default.
  1383. * dselect `v=verbose' becomes `v=terse' when in verbose mode.
  1384. * hard disk method unmounts /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt on failure.
  1385. * disk methods' install message uses `stty' to find out what the
  1386. interrupt character is, and uses that in the prompt (rather than ^C).
  1387. * dpkg now tolerates ^Z characters in Packages files.
  1388. * harddisk method doesn't display extra slash when updating packages file.
  1389. * harddisk method burbles less if it doesn't have a good default.
  1390. * dpkg-deb now supports new flexible format, but old format still default.

  1393. * dselect no longer segfaults when you try to modify the last item.
  1394. * dselect Makefile compiles with -g, and links without -s, but installs
  1395. with -s, so that built source directory has debugabble binary.
  1396. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Tue, 12 Sep 1995 02:59:29 +0100
  1397. dpkg (0.93.74) BETA; priority=LOW
  1398. * dpkg-split implemented and installed in /usr/bin/dpkg-split.
  1399. (NB this is not compatible with Carl Streeter's old dpkg-split script.)
  1400. * dpkg uses dpkg-split.
  1401. * floppy disk method available - NB this is a first attempt only.
  1402. * hard disk method uses --merge-avail rather than --update-avail.
  1403. * installation by default of `standard' packages removed again.
  1404. (I don't think this is the right place to do this.)
  1405. * update-alternatives --remove correctly deletes all slave links;
  1406. minor cosmetic improvements.
  1407. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Mon, 11 Sep 1995 02:06:05 +0100
  1408. dpkg (0.93.73) BETA; priority=LOW
  1409. * dselect multi-package selection now done by `divider' lines
  1410. actually in the package list, rather than horizontal highlight
  1411. movement.
  1412. * dselect help available, and keybindings rationalised.
  1413. * postinst removes /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/hd if upgrading from
  1414. 0.93.42.3 or earlier.
  1415. * `hold' flag changed to be settable by the user only, and
  1416. made orthogonal to the `reinstallation required' flag.
  1417. * dpkg will install by default any packages with priority of
  1418. `standard' or better unless they're explictly deselected.
  1419. * dselect dependency/conflict resolution will suggest marking absent
  1420. packages for `purge' rather than `deinstall'.
  1421. * disk method script produces message about invoking dpkg.
  1422. * dpkg produces warning, not error, when it gets EPERM trying to
  1423. remove a directory belonging to a package being removed.
  1424. * dpkg, dpkg-deb usage error reporting improved.
  1425. * dselect detects too-dumb terminals and stops.
  1426. * dpkg-deb(8) updated a little (thanks to Bill Mitchell).
  1427. * dselect debugmake script uses -O0.
  1428. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Sun, 10 Sep 1995 12:23:05 +0100

  1436. * dpkg doesn't silently overwrite `new' conffiles (Bug#1283).
  1437. * case now not significant in Essential, Status and Class (Bug#1280).
  1438. * dselect checks method scripts for execute, not for write.
  1439. * spelling fixes in lib/dbmodify.c and dselect/helpmsgs.src.
  1440. * dselect `clean' target deletes helpmsgs.cc and helpmsgs.cc.new.

  1446. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Wed, 9 Aug 1995 22:18:55 +0100
  1447. dpkg (0.93.69) BETA; priority=MEDIUM
  1448. * dpkg --configure and --remove should work properly when
  1449. they have to defer processing (this tends to happen when many
  1450. packages are processed at once). (Bug#1209.)
  1451. * dpkg --configure and --remove work better when `processing'
  1452. several related packages with --no-act.
  1453. * dpkg --auto is now two options, --pending or -a (for configure,
  1454. remove, &c) and --recursive or -R (for install, unpack, &c).
  1455. * dpkg debug options in usage message, and values available (-Dh).
  1456. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Wed, 9 Aug 1995 22:18:55 +0100

  1458. * dpkg won't get an internal error if you try to use the default
  1459. conffiles response (ie, if you just hit return). (Bug#1208.)

  1461. * dselect allows you to go straight to `update' or `install' if
  1462. you have already set up an access method.
  1463. * new dpkg options --yet-to-unpack, --merge-avail and --update-avail.
  1464. * dpkg -G is an abbreviation for dpkg --refuse-downgrade.

  1477. the package(s) that used to contain them.
  1478. * dpkg --purge is now an action, rather than a modifier for --remove,
  1479. and the -P alias for it is withdrawn.
  1480. * dpkg --unpack/--install filenames in messages are now more sensible
  1481. about when to use .../ (show as many trailing components as possible
  1482. in 40 characters, or the whole path if that the last component is
  1483. longer than that).
  1484. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Thu, 3 Aug 1995 02:11:03 +0100
  1485. dpkg (0.93.65) ALPHA; priority=MEDIUM
  1486. * dpkg --remove should, when a package being removed is depended-on

  1488. package rather than aborting it. (Bug#1188.)
  1489. * dpkg will not attempt to configure or remove a package more than
  1490. once in the same run. (Bug#1169.)

  1495. dpkg (0.93.64) ALPHA; priority=MEDIUM
  1496. * dpkg marks a package as no longer `to be configured in this run'
  1497. when an error occurs, so that other packages which depend on it
  1498. will fail (rather than causing a loop and an assertion failure,
  1499. packages.c:166: failed assertion `dependtry <= 4').
  1500. * dselect initial selection granularity is single-package.
  1501. * dpkg --no-also-select option renamed to --selected-only (old option
  1502. still accepted, but no longer in --help). Changed -N to -O.
  1503. * dselect `update' option changed to `install' (and other options
  1504. renamed too). NB: old access methods will not work, because
  1505. the `update' script should now be an `install' script.
  1506. * dselect `installation methods' renamed to `access methods'.
  1507. * dpkg --skip-same-version and --refuse-downgrade produce friendlier
  1508. messages when they skip packages.

  1514. dpkg (0.93.63) ALPHA; priority=LOW
  1515. * preinst works around shell bug/misfeature involving `trap'.
  1516. * dpkg --skip-same-version doesn't skip packages which have
  1517. an error flag set or which aren't in a standard `installed' state.
  1518. * dpkg --search now does a substring search if the string doesn't
  1519. start with a wildcard character (*, [ or ?) or slash.
  1520. * problem with C/C++ linkage of stuff in "myopt.h" fixed, to help
  1521. with compiling with GCC 2.7.0.
  1522. * dselect Makefile.in `clean' deletes curkeys.inc &c, so that they are
  1523. not shipped in the distribution source and will be rebuilt on the
  1524. target system.

  1530. nor a package required for depends/recommended. (Bug#1128.)

  1532. * dselect fixups for ELF/GCC2.7.0 compilation.

  1534. dpkg (0.93.61) ALPHA; priority=LOW
  1535. * dselect keybindings and status characters and descriptions changed
  1536. (in pursuance of Bug#1037, user interface problems, still open.)
  1537. * Some cleanups to fix mistakes discovered by ELF-GCC 2.7.0, and fixup
  1538. for newer C++ draft standard (`for' variable declaration scope change).

  1540. dpkg (0.93.60) ALPHA; priority=HIGH
  1541. * dpkg doesn't think packages have `disappeared' if you install

  1671. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Mon, 24 Apr 1995 12:34:39 +0100
  1672. dpkg (0.93.37) BETA; priority=LOW (MEDIUM for dselect users)
  1673. * Fixed segfault if no description available (Bug#735);
  1674. thanks to Peter Tobias for the bug report.
  1675. * Fixed other assorted minor bugs in description displays.
  1676. * Changed dpkg-deb --info short option from -i to -I, to make
  1677. it unique across dpkg and dpkg-deb (-i still works with
  1678. dpkg-deb for backwards compatibility).
  1679. * Produce more sensible error when main package list is empty.
  1680. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Fri, 7 Apr 1995 02:24:55 +0100
  1681. dpkg (0.93.36) BETA; priority=LOW (MEDIUM for dselect users)
  1682. * All the C code (including dselect) updated to support `provides'
  1683. (virtual packages).
  1684. * Revamped dselect's related package selection/deselection
  1685. algorithms.
  1686. * Everything can now handle arbitrary `class' values (as well
  1687. as the predefined ones which we understand and can interpret).
  1688. * Fixed bug that prevented display update when moving down a small
  1689. recursive package list in dselect.
  1690. * Column heading characters corrected from `SHOC' to `HSOC'.
  1691. -- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Thu, 6 Apr 1995 12:48:13 +0100
  1692. dpkg (0.93.35) BETA; priority=MEDIUM
  1693. * Preserve ownerships and permissions on configuration files.
  1694. * Fix bug in conffile updating that could leave a hardlink

  1697. * Highlight now moves on after (de)selecting just one package.
  1698. * Better algorithm for scrolling up/down when moving highlight.
  1699. * Fixed bug in display of `preformatted' extended Description lines.
  1700. (dselect is still ALPHA, but is fairly stable.)
  1701. * Improved dpkg's message when configuring a package that doesn't
  1702. exist, and when selecting or skipping a package that isn't
  1703. currently selected (during unpack processing).
  1704. * Description in control file expanded.
  1705. * Scroll back to top when changing what is in the `info' area.
  1706. dpkg (0.93.34) BETA; priority=LOW (HIGH for dselect users)
  1707. * dselect: Fixed bug which caused a coredump if you exited the
  1708. package list if you'd made any changes. Ouch !
  1709. * dselect: Improved selection algorithm to show fewer extraneous
  1710. packages; improved display for unavailable packages.
  1711. * dpkg: Improved progress messages during unpacking somewhat.
  1712. dpkg (0.93.33) BETA; priority=LOW (HIGH for dselect users)
  1713. * dselect now has a main menu.

  1718. /usr/sbin/dselect.
  1719. * dpkg (0.93.32): Many portability enhancements: should now

  1721. compile better on non-Linux systems.
  1722. * dpkg (0.93.32): dpkg will not loop if its stdin disappears
  1723. and it needs to prompt.
  1724. * dpkg (0.93.32): Fixed removal dependency error to show
  1725. correct package (Bug #648).

  1730. error trapping.
  1731. * dpkg (0.93.32): Improved Makefile `clean' and `distclean'

  1738. * dpkg (0.93.32): varbuf has C++ member functions in header
  1739. #ifdef __cplusplus.

  1776. * More clarification of md5sum.c copyright.
  1777. * Corrected typo in ChangeLog in 0.93.24 source package.
  1778. Changes in dpkg 0.93.24:

  1780. Bug #426.
  1781. * dpkg failed to initialise status if you tried to remove or
  1782. configure a nonexistent package. Bug #419.
  1783. * install-info now handles START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY entries like:
  1784. * Gdb:: The GNU debugger.
  1785. Previously it would only accept (Bug #407):
  1786. * Gdb: (gdb). The GNU debugger.
  1787. * When installing a new foo.info[.gz], install-info now replaces
  1788. * Foo: (foo.info). The Gnoo Foo.
  1789. as well as just * Foo: (foo). ...
  1790. * Moved option parsing out of dpkg-deb into libdpkg.
  1791. * Assorted minor source code rearrangements.
  1792. * Fixed assorted copyright notices, clarified md5sum copyright.
  1793. * Corrected typo in 0.93.23 source package's ChangeLog.

  1800. added some files to the lib Makefile, and arranged for pop_cleanup().
  1801. Changes in dpkg 0.93.22:
  1802. * Fixed bug which caused dpkg to see failures of md5sum where there
  1803. were none (would also have caused dpkg to miss a real failure).
  1804. * Fixed failure to update some `status' database fields.
  1805. Changes in dpkg 0.93.21:
  1806. * Fixed error-handling bug which could corrupt database.
  1807. Changes in dpkg 0.93.20:
  1808. * Fixed bug which ran old (/var/adm/dpkg) postinst scripts.
  1809. * Fixed dpkg usage message which claimed -i => both --install & --info.
  1810. * Use Colin Plumb's MD5 code - faster, and better copyright.
  1811. * Manpages: dpkg-deb(8), deb-control(5), deb(5) - thanks to Raul
  1812. Deluth Miller. Also, an xfig picture of some C program innards.
  1813. Changes in dpkg 0.93.19:
  1814. * Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database.
  1815. * Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling.
  1816. * Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the
  1817. `dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles. This means
  1818. that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of
  1819. /etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead. However, the
  1820. link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles.
  1821. * When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that
  1822. wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't
  1823. do any prompting but just install the version from the archive.
  1824. * Corrected error message if exec of dpkg --vextract failed
  1825. and --instroot or --root specified.
  1826. * Added new --force-unpack-any option.
  1827. * Extra newline after --status output.
  1828. * Added -W options to CFLAGS.
  1829. * Fixed mistake in previous ChangeLog entry.
  1830. Changes in dpkg 0.93.18:
  1831. * Fixed invocation of dpkg-deb --vextract if --root or --instdir
  1832. not specified.
  1833. * Create /var/lib/dpkg/updates.
  1834. Changes in dpkg 0.93.17:
  1835. * install-info --remove exits with status 0 if it doesn't find the
  1836. thing to remove, instead of status 1.
  1837. * Error handling functions have __attribute__((format...)) if GCC.
  1838. * push_cleanup its arg takes void **argv instead of char **argv.
  1839. * Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops.
  1840. * dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages.
  1841. Changes in dpkg 0.93.16:
  1842. * Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'.
  1843. * install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask.
  1844. * Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail,
  1845. and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways.
  1846. * dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with
  1847. /var/{adm,lib}/dpkg. Should be faster.
  1848. * Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised.
  1849. Changes in dpkg 0.93.15:
  1850. * Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive.
  1851. * Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib.
  1852. * Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search.
  1853. * Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but
  1854. dpkg-deb not yet updated).
  1855. * Added --root, --admindir and --instdir, as well as --isok &c.
  1856. * Moved much stuff into /usr/lib/dpkg-lib.pl, rewritten status
  1857. database handling.
  1858. * Put packages in `purge' state even if `deinstall' requested if
  1859. they have no postrm and no conffiles.
  1860. * Version number comparisons fixed.
  1861. * insert-version.pl now installes lib.pl filename too.
  1862. * Strip trailing slashes when reading files from file lists.
  1863. Changes in dpkg 0.93.14:
  1864. * Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace.
  1865. * postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file.
  1866. * Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider
  1867. packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead.
  1868. * Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old
  1869. configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles.
  1870. Changes in dpkg 0.93.13:
  1871. * sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl.
  1872. * Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error
  1873. if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file.
  1874. * Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call.
  1875. * New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN
  1876. directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst.
  1877. Changes in dpkg 0.93.12:
  1878. * No longer needs *.ph files, since these appear to be broken.
  1879. * Postinst fixes up *.control files with curly brackets.
  1880. * embryo of dselect.
  1881. Changes in dpkg 0.93.11:
  1882. * New --ignore-depends option.
  1883. * This ChangeLog changed format here.
  1884. Wed Nov 30 15:38:21 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>
  1885. * dpkg 0.93.11 released.
  1886. * conffile updating fixed.

  1889. * version numbers now done automatically in dpkg and install-info.
  1890. * more debugging around conffiles updates.
  1891. * *.hash files not deleted so soon.
  1892. * adds brand new packages to status array so we can install them.
  1893. * postinst does h2ph for {sys,linux}/{stat,types}.ph if required.
  1894. Mon Nov 28 02:00:13 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>
  1895. * dpkg 0.93.10 released.

  1901. Thu Oct 20 13:22:20 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1902. * dpkg 0.93.9 released.
  1903. * dpkg.pl: Use $argument, not $package, with `--build'.
  1904. Make sure that saved postinst scripts are executable.
  1905. Tue Oct 18 09:40:57 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1906. * dpkg 0.93.8 released.
  1907. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir ()
  1908. when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this
  1909. case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and
  1910. are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence).
  1911. Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1912. * Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards.
  1913. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are
  1914. removed LAST! This will result in complete removal of packages
  1915. when --remove is called. dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems
  1916. with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which
  1917. will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time.
  1918. * deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name.
  1919. Tue Oct 4 12:27:10 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1920. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): When a list file cannot be
  1921. opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
  1922. * deb/util.c (return_info): When a control file cannot be opened,
  1923. silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
  1924. * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Exit 0 if the regular expression is
  1925. matched and 1 if it is not.
  1926. Mon Oct 3 18:38:53 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1927. * dpkg.pl: New file. Replaces dpkg.sh.
  1928. * deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'.
  1929. * deb/build.c (pkg_build): `--build' is less verbose, instead
  1930. letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
  1931. * deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto.
  1932. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto.
  1933. * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto.
  1934. * deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose,
  1935. instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
  1936. The ``Description:'' label has been removed.
  1937. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose,
  1938. instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
  1939. The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer
  1940. information.
  1941. Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1942. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' now reports the
  1943. version number of dpkg if no argument is specified.
  1944. Thu Sep 1 13:31:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1945. * dpkg 0.93.7 released.
  1946. * deb/build.c (pkg_build): check status and exit if non-zero.
  1947. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): ditto.
  1948. * deb/install.c (archive_extract): ditto.
  1949. Thu Sep 1 13:20:08 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1950. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): indent to the same point as
  1951. pkg_describe.
  1952. Thu Sep 1 12:21:11 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1953. * Makefile.in (dist): added debian.rules binary, source and
  1954. dist targets to make final distribution easier to make.
  1955. (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
  1956. * deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
  1957. * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters
  1958. for the package name in the output.
  1959. (pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for
  1960. the front-end to parse the output.
  1961. (pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description
  1962. with '\0'.
  1963. * deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to
  1964. ensure that permissions are preserved.
  1965. Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1966. * dpkg 0.93.6 released.
  1967. * deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is
  1968. true!
  1969. Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1970. * dpkg 0.93.5 released.
  1971. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents
  1972. into function pkg_contents.
  1973. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so
  1974. that symbolic links are recognized.
  1975. (pkg_contents): print the usual `<path> -> <link_to>' now that we
  1976. recognize symbolic links.
  1977. * deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed
  1978. information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory
  1979. in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do.
  1980. Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  1981. * lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed
  1982. area.
  1983. (mk_mode_string): ditto.
  1984. * dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a
  1985. uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation.
  1986. * dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during
  1987. package removal.
  1988. * dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure.
  1989. * deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and
  1990. is a Debian archive before doing anything.
  1991. * deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and
  1992. is a Debian archive before doing anything.
  1993. * deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done.
  1994. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that
  1995. --remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a
  1996. directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic
  1997. link never being removed at all.
  1998. ChangeLog begins Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 for dpkg 0.93.5.
