  4. dpkg (1.18.23) unstable; urgency=medium
  5. * Handle unmatched arch-qualified virtual packages in dpkg-genbuildinfo,
  6. instead of letting perl die. Closes: #849944
  7. * Declare .buildinfo format as stable with version 1.0.
  8. * Do not depend on cxxabi.h to have declared __cxa_pure_virtual, use
  9. the same “__cxxabiv1” namespace as specified in the C++ ABI, instead
  10. of using the “abi” alias intended for use by userland.
  11. Thanks to Jörg Sonnenberger <joerg@netbsd.org>.
  12. * Add a comment on any C code switch case that falls through. Fixes new
  13. gcc-7 warnings.
  14. * Use snprintf() instead of sprintf() in libdpkg when constructing the ar
  15. member header, as we might overflow depending on the input data.
  16. * Portability:
  17. - Do not redeclare sys_siglist in libcompat when the system does so.
  18. Thanks to Thomas Klausner <wiz@NetBSD.org>.
  19. - Rename err variable to ret in start-stop-daemon as the former is a
  20. function on BSDs.
  21. - Use 5-argument kvm_getprocs() call form on OpenBSD in start-stop-daemon.
  22. - Use correct struct kinfo_proc ruid submember name on NetBSD in
  23. start-stop-daemon.
  24. - Define _KMEMUSER for NetBSD to get declarations for various
  25. struct kinfo_proc members in start-stop-daemon.
  26. * Perl modules:
  27. - Do not special case EM_SPARC32PLUS for NetBSD in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump,
  28. the code has been fixed in NetBSD as that situation could not happen.
  29. - Fix read() error handling in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format() to
  30. gracefully ignore non-ELF files again. Closes: #854536
  31. - Emit an explicit warning from Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::Object::analyze()
  32. for unknown executable formats instead of relying on objdump doing so.
  33. - Do not parse bogus ELF binaries in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format().
  34. Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>.
  35. - Add ‘.mnt-ignore’ to the default ignore lists in Dpkg::Source::Package,
  36. as we were already ignoring the ‘_MTN’ pathnames. Closes: #855450
  37. Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez <nicolas@debian.org>.
  38. - Mark kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, sparc and sparc64 architectures as
  39. having gcc builtin PIE in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
  40. - Switch PIE handling in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian to have no default (!) and
  41. delegate the setting to gcc or an explicit request by a user. This is
  42. needed to cope with the general PIE brokenness situation in Debian, and
  43. the current specific brokenness of a Debian gcc patch mangling the dpkg
  44. build flags. Closes: #848129, #845550
  45. * Documentation:
  46. - Clarify the requirements for deb-conffile(5) pathnames. Closes: #854417
  47. Proposed by Dieter Adriaenssens <dieter.adriaenssens@gmail.com>.
  48. - Document dpkg-source --before-build and --after-build in --help output.
  49. - Document dpkg-buildpackage --ignore-builtin-builddeps in --help output.
  50. * Build system:
  51. - Check <sys/proc.h> by also including <sys/param.h>, on several BSD
  52. systems the header is not self-contained.
  53. - Handle libmd implementations built into system libc, as found on some
  54. BSD systems.
  55. - Do not fail on missing compression libraries or headers on automatic
  56. detection mode. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.14.
  57. * Test suite:
  58. - Use the detected perl interpreter instead of a random one from PATH.

  69. otherwise the system cannot be easily recovered from. Regression
  70. introduced in dpkg 1.16.1. Reported by Jay Freeman <saurik@saurik.com>.
  71. * Perl modules:
  72. - Mask ARM ABI bits in the ELF processor flags in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump.
  73. These are too unreliable to be used for exact matching. Closes: #853793

  83. * Revert "Generate Testsuite-Restrictions fields from the test restrictions
  84. in dpkg-source into .dsc files". This change is contentious and should
  85. have been discussed more widely. Given that this has been live only for
  86. a couple of days, the impact should be minimal, but still something to
  87. take into account once and if this gets reintroduced. Closes: #852820
  88. * Perl modules:
  89. - Map alternative or old ELF machine types to canonical ones. We need
  90. those to match on the encoded ABI, otherwise dpkg-shlibdeps will not

  102. * Perl modules:
  103. - Mask the machine bits for SH and MIPS in the ELF processor flags in
  104. Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump. These do not define the ABI, and make the
  105. objects not match when they should, when looking for shared libraries
  106. from dpkg-shlibdeps.
  107. - Encode the ELF ABI as a big-endian byte stream, so that decoding for
  108. output gives meaningful results.
  109. - Disable the NFS-unsafe warning on Linux, as using flock() on NFS has
  110. been safe for some time now. Addresses: #677865 (on Linux)

  119. [ Guillem Jover ]
  120. * Stop emitting Built-For-Profiles from dpkg-gencontrol. The information
  121. is already provided in .buildinfo and .changes files, and including it
  122. in the binary packages makes them unreproducible even when the profile
  123. used would not alter its contents. Closes: #831524
  124. * Do not allow empty epochs and revisions in versions. When there's at
  125. least one colon or one dash, we should expect epoch and revision numbers.
  126. * Always set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-source. Use
  127. the current date if the changelog does not have one. Closes: #849081
  128. * Refactor update-alternatives pathname existence check into a new function.
  129. * Avoid useless repeated lstat()s in update-alternatives.
  130. * Only check for debian/tests/control file once in dpkg-source.
  131. * Generate Testsuite-Restrictions fields from the test restrictions in
  132. dpkg-source into .dsc files. Closes: #847926
  133. Based on a patch by Iain Lane <laney@debian.org>.
  134. * Improve the ELF ABI mismatch detector in dpkg-shlibdeps, by parsing the
  135. ELF header ourselves. While still not perfect (things like linux-i386 and
  136. hurd-i386 will still match), it will filter lots of previously matching
  137. objects that should have been ignored, and will work even when objdump
  138. does not know about the specific object details. Closes: #849913
  139. * Add initial support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to dpkg-genbuildinfo. This will
  140. make it possible to enable or disable specific features that should be
  141. recorded in the .buildinfo file. For now only “all” and “path” are
  142. supported. Closes: #848705
  143. * Add again the architecture from the filename to .changes files for any
  144. artifact with one. This reverts the change introduced in dpkg 1.18.11.
  145. * Fold the filtering and checksumming of files to distribute in a .changes
  146. file in dpkg-genchanges into the initial loop. This way we do not include
  147. architectures for artifacts we are not going to distribute, and do not
  148. unnecessarily recompute the checksums for artifacts like the sources.
  149. * Do not compute the architecture list twice in dpkg-genchanges.
  150. * Include .buildinfo files also for source-only uploads in dpkg-genchanges.
  151. Closes: #846164
  152. * Fix check for expected number of binary artifacts in dpkg-genchanges, to
  153. only take into account the artifacts that we are distributing.

  244. * Automatically decrease xz encoder threads to try to not exceed available
  245. memory limits. This should alleviated the insane requirements of memory
  246. needed on 32-bit architectures with many cores, which results in more
  247. than the userspace addressable memory, when using settings such as
  248. -z9 and/or -Sextreme in dpkg-deb. Closes: #846564

  256. bogus filesystems do not return the actual symlink size in st_size,

  473. - Cast off_t variables to intmax_t when printing them with "%jd".
  474. - Add missing <string.h> include in libdpkg.
  475. - Cast strlen() return value to ssize_t to match write() return type.
  476. - Use underscore-prefixed system preprocessor symbols instead of namespace
  477. polluting ones (such as “linux”, “OPENBSD” or “hpux”).
  478. - Handle _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING being defined to -1 or 0 in
  479. start-stop-daemon. This affects Mac OS X.
  480. - On FreeBSD return STATUS_UNKNOWN instead of false in start-stop-daemon
  481. do_procinit().
  482. - Port start-stop-daemon process handling to Mac OS X.
  483. Based on a patch by Mo McRoberts <mo@nevali.net>.
  484. - Port start-stop-daemon process handling to AIX.
  485. - Fix lookup by name on update-alternatives --config. The code was wrong
  486. and not working at least on Mac OS X, making the test suite to fail.
  487. - Only use gzip --rsyncable in Dpkg::Compression on Debian and hopefully
  488. derivatives, by using perl's $Config{cf_by} variable to key on. The
  489. Debian-specific --rsyncable option should have never been accepted for
  490. use in dpkg to begin with.
  491. - Use our own dpkg_ar_hdr struct instead of relying on the system
  492. ar_hdr struct, as the ar format is not standardized and does vary
  493. across systems, for example on AIX.
  494. - Add <sys/sysmacros.h> on AIX for major() and minor().
  495. - Add missing <errno.h> in libcompat.
  496. - Include libcompat getopt module when we need getopt_long.
  497. - Disable gettext support in libcompat getopt module. We do not carry
  498. translations for this module, and it makes it pull libintl for programs
  499. that might not use it otherwise.
  500. * Perl modules:
  501. - Obsolete Source-Version substvar in Dpkg::Substvars by emitting errors.
  502. - Rework keyring hooks in Dpkg::Vendor. Deprecate the keyrings hook, and
  503. add package-keyrings, archive-keyrings and archive-keyrings-historic
  504. hooks. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
  505. - Make the Dpkg::Substavars parse() method return the number of substvars
  506. parsed.
  507. - Add new set_field_substvars() method to Dpkg::Substvars.
  508. - Fix reproducible source package support in Dpkg::Source::Archive, by
  509. sorting the tar contents with --sort=name.
  510. - Prefix private Dpkg::Source::Package::* functions with _.
  511. - Defer filehandle closures in Dpkg::IPC::spawn() to avoid double-close.
  512. Closes: #839905, #840293
  513. - Always map the build type to the shortest string form in
  514. Dpkg::Build::Type::get_build_options_from_type().
  515. - Change Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle to inherit directly from IO::File
  516. instead of FileHandle.
  517. - Add new Dpkg::PROGTAR variable to store GNU tar command name.
  518. - Add new Dpkg::PROGMAKE variable to store GNU make command name.
  519. - Add new CTRL_FILE_BUILDINFO type to Dpkg::Control.
  520. - Add new .buildinfo fields to Dpkg::Control::Fields.
  521. - Add new builtin-system-build-paths Dpkg::Vendor hook.
  522. - Cope gracefully with changelogs missing a timestamp trailer.
  523. Based on a patch by Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>.
  524. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.8. Closes: #843248
  525. * Packaging:
  526. - Add liblocale-gettext-perl to libdpkg-perl Recommends.
  527. - Wrap and document dependency relationships.
  528. - Remove obsolete dependency relationships, since Debian oldstable.
  529. - Remove update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride
  530. compatibility symlinks, again.
  531. - Use perl:Depends via dh_perl instead of a hardcoded perl in Depends.
  532. - Add perl:Depends to dpkg-dev Depends.
  533. - Remove unused dh_strip from binary_indep target.
  534. - Remove ancient upgrade code from maintainer scripts (before 1.15.x).
  535. - Stop compressing the dpkg.deb package with gzip.
  536. - Move dpkg to be the first binary package stanza in debian/control, as
  537. debhelper assigns special meaning by considering it the main package.
  538. - Set MAKEFLAGS to -jN from parallel=N in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
  539. * Documentation:
  540. - Update custom changelog parser API support status in README.api.
  541. - Fix typos in docs and man pages. Thanks to Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>
  542. Closes: #834584
  543. - Fix formatting in SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH description in dpkg-deb(5).
  544. - Improve dpkg-deb --build arguments documentation in dpkg-deb(1).
  545. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
  546. - Document the .changes filename that dpkg-buildpackage generates in
  547. dpkg-buildpackage(1). Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
  548. - Add basic maintainer script man pages: deb-postinst(5), deb-postrm(5),
  549. deb-preinst(5) and deb-prerm(5).
  550. - Add new deb-src-files(5) man page.
  551. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
  552. - Add man page references to other binary control files in dpkg(1).
  553. - Add version when "new" substvars were introduced in deb-substvars(5).
  554. - Switch deb-triggers(5) types into a proper list.
  555. - Itemize --log format entries in dpkg(1).
  556. - Turn the update-alternatives(1) --query example item into a sub-section.
  557. - Turn the Multi-Arch values into a list in deb-control(5).
  558. - Improve user-defined field export marker documentation in
  559. deb-src-control(5); clarify that X can be followed by zero or more
  560. (instead of one or more) letters and turn the items into a proper list.
  561. - Generate the man pages at build time. This makes it possible to process
  562. them and update several variable strings such as system and package
  563. pathnames, the release date and the dpkg suite version. And makes it
  564. possible to use UTF-8 in the source and convert to the more conservative
  565. groff escape sequences on the output.
  566. - Switch from groff escape sequences to UTF-8 in man pages sources.
  567. - Disable hyphenation in man pages globally, because it performs very
  568. poorly on many technical terms.
  569. - Append the German man pages addendum at the end of the translation,
  570. instead of assuming that every page has the SEE ALSO section.
  571. - Explicitly mention that Dpkg::Checksums::add_from_file() is used to
  572. verify digests too. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
  573. - Document the behavior for consecutive calls to Dpkg perl module parse()
  574. methods. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
  575. - Document obsolete functions in Dpkg::Conf.
  576. * Test suite:
  577. - Make test main function a TEST_ENTRY macro. This avoids confusing
  578. coverage programs, as the file that actually contains the main function
  579. is the test itself.
  580. - Rename test suite commands to be prefixed with «c-» instead of «t-».
  581. - Add new dpkg-source functional tests.
  582. - Add new dpkg-buildpackage functional tests.
  583. - Add an initial functional test suite for dpkg-deb and dpkg-split.
  584. - Skip the involved tests if IO::String is missing.
  585. - Add new unit test for libdpkg error handling.
  586. - Delete MAKEFLAGS environment variable when testing make invocations.
  587. - Pass -q to grep command to suppress matched output in pod-coverage.t.
  588. - Ignore POD coverage for partially private modules.
  589. * Build system:
  590. - Add support for profiling perl modules.
  591. - Clean up compiler and linker automatic flag usage in configure.
  592. - Fix the __progname check to avoid the optimizer discarding the symbol.
  593. - Fix M4sh/Autoconf coding style. Add a new section to coding-style.txt
  594. describing M4sh/Autoconf.
  595. - Disable C++ exceptions for dselect.
  596. - Fix typo in SE Linux library detection code, only affecting static
  597. mode (not used in Debian). Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.8.
  598. - Change --with-* option logic to default to check.
  599. - Disable -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare (for clang).
  600. - Check the availability of -W<warning> variant instead of -Wno-<warning>.
  601. As at least gcc and clang do not warn on -Wno-* warning flags, only
  602. when some unrelated warning needs to be emitted.
  603. - Bump po4a version to 0.43 (we are using --porefs wrap option).
  604. - Add support for running the test suite in parallel.
  605. - Specify exec argument for TAP::Harness to gracefully handle non-perl
  606. executables with older versions of the module.
  607. - Require libselinux 2.0.99 for baseline API, remove static linking
  608. support, use pkg-config unconditionally, and perform refinement checks
  609. only if available.
  610. - Check for the required minimal perl version.
  611. - Use builddir instead of CURDIR in man Makefile.am.
  612. - Use cp with -R instead of -r (the former is more portable and not
  613. marked as deprecated by POSIX).
  614. - Print an actual newline instead of a literal \n in lcov output.
  615. - Do not honor DPKG_DATADIR on the installed Dpkg module.
  616. - Pass --as-needed to the linker for dselect to avoid libstdc++ dependency.
  617. Which makes of dselect the only front-end not pulling the C++ run-time.

  628. [ Guillem Jover ]
  629. * Fix a short-lived memory leak in dpkg archive argument parsing.
  630. * When activating file triggers on conffile purge, use the conffile name
  631. instead of the real pathname it might refer to. This fixes a segfault
  632. when using --instdir, or when the conffile has been moved around and

  635. * Perl modules:
  636. - Disable fixdebugpath feature on unsafe characters in the path.
  637. - Generate reproducible source tarballs by using the new GNU tar

  639. in source packages has an mtime later than the changelog entry time.
  640. - Enable fixdebugpath build flag feature by default.

  880. * Detect non-regular file archive arguments earlier in dpkg.
  881. * Switch URLs in docs, code comments and packaging, from http:// or git://

  916. * Be more strict when parsing the COLUMNS environment variable in dpkg-query.
  917. * Make the Architecture field mandatory on package builds.
  918. * Use new Dpkg::Arch functions to validate and parse architectures when

  920. * Do safe matching of directories containing conffiles in
  921. dpkg-maintscript-helper, instead of using a variable pathname as a regex

  923. regex. Proposed by Carsten Hey <carsten@debian.org>.
  924. * Decouple local keyword declaration from command assignment in

  940. “never”, the latter being the default.
  941. * Add support for a new --build option to define build type by a

  1205. even when overriding the Package field value with the -D option.
  1206. Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>.
  1207. * Move the implicit build-essential:native Build-Depends from
  1208. dpkg-checkbuilddeps to a new vendor hook, as it is Debian-specific.
  1209. * Add support for ignoring built-in build dependencies and conflicts
  1210. with the new «dpkg-buildpackage --ignore-builtin-builddeps» and
  1211. «dpkg-checkbuilddeps -I» options. Closes: #480638, #571671
  1212. * When sys_siglist is defined in the system, try to use NSIG as we cannot
  1213. compute the array size with sizeof(). If NSIG is missing fallback to 32
  1214. items. Prompted by Igor Pashev <pashev.igor@gmail.com>.
  1215. * Use string_to_security_class() instead of a literal SECCLASS value in
  1216. the setexecfilecon() libcompat function, as <selinux/flask.h> is now
  1217. deprecated.
  1218. * Switch libdpkg xz compressor to use CRC64 for integrity checks, to match
  1219. the default on the command-line tool, which should provide slightly better
  1220. detection against damaged data, at a negligible speed difference.
  1221. * Only use the SHELL environment variable for interactive shells.
  1222. Closes: #788819
  1223. * Move tar option --no-recursion before -T in dpkg-deb. With tar > 1.28 the
  1224. --no-recursion option is now positional, and needs to be passed before
  1225. the -T option, otherwise the tarball will end up with duplicated entries.
  1226. Thanks to Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>.
  1227. * Add an extra level of escaping for double $(evals) in architecture.mk
  1228. and buildflags.mk, so that the variables are computed lazily again.
  1229. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.16.2. Closes: #793330
  1230. * Add binary packages Essential information to Package-List field in the
  1231. .dsc file, as optional essential=yes entries. This allows precomputing
  1232. the pseudo-essential set before starting an architecture bootstrap.
  1233. * Perl modules:
  1234. - Remove non-functional timezone name support from
  1235. Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian.
  1236. - Use Time::Piece (part of the perl core distribution) instead of
  1237. Date::Parse in Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian. This reduces the build
  1238. and run-time dependencies, and helps architecture bootstrapping.
  1239. - Simplify distribution splitting in Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian.
  1240. - Add new function changelog_parse_plugin() in Dpkg::Changelog::Parse.
  1241. - Add new function changelog_parse_debian() in Dpkg::Changelog::Parse, and
  1242. use it in changelog_parse() instead of the external plugin parser when
  1243. the input format is “debian”. This significantly speeds up the parsing.
  1244. - Remove trailing space before handling blank line dot-separator in
  1245. Dpkg::Control::HashCore. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.0.
  1246. Reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>. Closes: #789580
  1247. - Allow the Maintainer field in CTRL_FILE_STATUS.
  1248. - Import make_path from File::Path in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2.
  1249. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.0. Closes: #789957
  1250. - Make the BinaryFiles subpackage self-contained by explicitly importing
  1251. File::Spec in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2.
  1252. - Do not exclude pre-existing symlinks when unpacking the debian/ tarball
  1253. in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Closes: #790073, #791535
  1254. - Disable the thread sanitizer when the address sanitizer is enabled
  1255. in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian as these are mutually incompatible, and make
  1256. sanitize=+all not work at all.
  1257. - Allow colons (:) in added filenames in Dpkg::Dist::Files, which can be
  1258. present when the upstream version contains colons. Regression introduced
  1259. in dpkg 1.18.0. Reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>.
  1260. - Future-proof tar invocations in Dpkg::Source::Archive for options that
  1261. might become positional in the future, and by always placing function
  1262. options first.
  1263. - Make the dependency comparison deep by comparing not only the first
  1264. dependency alternative, to get them sorted in a reproducible way.
  1265. Based on a patch by Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>. Closes: #792491
  1266. - Support spaces in symbol names in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump. This is
  1267. required by Go shared libraries. Closes: #785344
  1268. Based on a patch by Michael Hudson-Doyle <michael.hudson@canonical.com>.
  1269. * Test suite:
  1270. - Set SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGPIPE to their default actions to get
  1271. deterministic behavior.
  1272. - Add test cases for the makefile snippets.
  1273. - Delete DEB_VENDOR from the environment to get reliable results.
  1274. * Packaging:
  1275. - Make the libdpkg-dev package Multi-Arch:same.
  1276. - Mark libio-string-perl as <!nocheck>.
  1277. * Documentation:
  1278. - Fix grammar in dpkg-architecture(1).
  1279. Thanks to Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>. Closes: #787616
  1280. - Use the feature area name in the dpkg-buildflags(1) subsection title.
  1281. - Document DPKG_HOOK_ACTION also in dpkg(1) ENVIRONMENT section.
  1282. - Clarify when some features where added in man pages.
  1283. - Document --yet-to-unpack, --predep-package and all --assert-<feature>
  1284. commands as supported in both «dpkg --help» and dpkg(1).
  1285. - Document abitable in dpkg-architecture(1).
  1286. - Clarify that an architecture wildcard is a Debian thing in
  1287. dpkg-architecture(1).
  1288. - Document multiarch triplet in dpkg-architecture(1) TERMS section.
  1289. - Remove “my” keyword from Dpkg perl modules function prototypes.
  1290. - Say FUNCTIONS instead of METHODS for Dpkg modules when appropriate.
  1291. - Fix POD syntax inside verbatim paragraph in Dpkg::Changelog.
  1292. - Document and mark Dpkg::Arch as a public module.
  1293. - Fix Dpkg::Changelog::Parse::changelog_parse documentation.

  1306. dpkg (1.18.1) unstable; urgency=low
  1307. [ Guillem Jover ]
  1308. * Cast c_isbits() c argument to an unsigned char when indexing the array.
  1309. This fixes build failures on armel, armhf, ppc64el and s390x.
  1310. * Do not allow pathnames with embedded newlines in dpkg-deb and dpkg.
  1311. Closes: #720761

  1313. Closes: #786435
  1314. * Set the SE Linux file context even when the file mode has no file type.
  1315. * Make dpkg-buildpackage -j override any parallel option specified in
  1316. DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.14.15.
  1317. * Honor Pre-Depends, Conflicts and Breaks for packages in unpacked and
  1318. half states. Thanks to Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>. Closes: #377860
  1319. * Fix build failure on FreeBSD by actually using libmd if available.
  1320. * Sort dpkg-scanpackages output by package name and version.
  1321. Thanks to Maximilian Schwerin <maximilian.schwerin@tigris.de>.
  1322. * Sort dpkg-scansources output by package name and version.
  1323. Thanks to Maximilian Schwerin <maximilian.schwerin@tigris.de>.
  1324. * Set the correct default compression value in dpkg-deb for control.tar.gz
  1325. member. This meant using compression level 1 when using the zlib shared
  1326. library to compress the control.tar member, and always failing when using
  1327. the gzip command. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.6. Closes: #786654
  1328. * Use the generated template file instead of the original one when looking
  1329. for changes in dpkg-gensymbols. There's too much information not being
  1330. preserved in the symbols files to be able to regenerate templates for
  1331. them. Closes: #785937, #786840
  1332. * Perl modules:
  1333. - Add missing strict and warnings pragmas for submodules.
  1334. - Use non-destructive substitutions inside map.
  1335. - Use the state keyword to simplify the code.
  1336. - Do not replace #PACKAGE# in template mode in Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile.

  1349. dpkg (1.18.0) unstable; urgency=low
  1350. [ Guillem Jover ]
  1351. * Only trim trailing “/” and “/.” from «dpkg-query --search» arguments if
  1352. they are a pathname, and not a pattern or a substring match.
  1353. * Switch C/C++ code to use a new set of C locale character type functions
  1354. independent of the current locale.
  1355. * Add support for arch-bits and arch-endian dpkg-gensymbols tags.
  1356. Closes: #630342

  1358. * Fix perl uninitialized value usage in dpkg-scansources when the Binary
  1359. field is missing.
  1360. * Use dpkg-query instead of dpkg for --search in dpkg-shlibdeps so that
  1361. the subprocesses get the correct admindir. Closes: #775258
  1362. * Rework the Installed-Size field default value computation to make it
  1363. reproducible regardless of the build system filesystem, and document
  1364. how the value is computed and that it is just an approximation.
  1365. Closes: #650077
  1366. * Use strftime() instead of «date -R» in dpkg-genchanges, as the latter
  1367. is not specified by POSIX and is not widely portable.
  1368. * Warn on obsolete '<' and '>' operators in dpkg --compare-versions.
  1369. * Trim end of line whitespace from dpkg and dselect config file parsers.
  1370. Reported by Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
  1371. * Do not silently eat a standalone ‘-’ in the libdpkg command-line parser.
  1372. * Fix short-lived memory leaks in dpkg-deb and libdpkg. Closes: #769515
  1373. * Fix «dpkg-deb -b» filename generation when the package does not contain

  1401. * Use badusage() instead of ohshit() for command-line errors.
  1402. * Use the original template symbols file when diffing in dpkg-gensymbols.
  1403. We should not create a new template symbols file, because the output
  1404. might change (different sorting order for example) relative to the

  1407. Based on a patch by Jeff Epler <jepler@unpythonic.net>. Closes: #779467
  1408. * Switch start-stop-daemon to use a monotonic clock if available. This

  1415. * Skip files based on the architecture from the filename in dpkg-genchanges.
  1416. * Allow binary packages not found in debian/control in dpkg-genchanges,

  1423. * Cleanup default dpkg-shlibdeps shared library directory search list:
  1424. - Do not add cross-root directories (/<triplet>/ and /usr/<triplet>/).
  1425. - Remove ancient multilib /emul/ia32-linux/ paths.
  1426. - Reorder directory precedence to:

  1443. - Switch Dpkg::Checksums from using checksum programs to the more portable
  1444. Digest modules. Obsolete the 'program' property, and add a 'name' one.
  1445. - Add support for $DEFAULT_TEXT_DOMAIN to Dpkg::Gettext, so that the Dpkg
  1446. perl modules can always produce localized messages.
  1447. - Fix OpenPGP Armor Header Line parsing in Dpkg::Control::Hash. We should
  1448. only accept [\r\t ] as trailing whitespace, although RFC4880 does not
  1449. clarify what whitespace really maps to, we should really match the GnuPG
  1450. implementation anyway, as that's what we use to verify the signatures.
  1451. Reported by Jann Horn <jann@thejh.net>. Fixes CVE-2015-0840.
  1452. - Pass PATCH_GET environment variable instead of -g0 to the patch command

  1459. Thanks to Roderich Schupp <roderich.schupp@gmail.com>. Closes: #781887
  1460. - Always sort the Dpkg::Dist::Files files list on output, instead of
  1461. preserving the insertion order, which is not reproducible with parallel
  1462. builds. Reported by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
  1463. - Add new filter() method to Dpkg::Substvars.
  1464. - Kill the process when reaching timeout in Dpkg::IPC::wait_child().
  1465. * Test suite:
  1466. - Check perl code compilation, warnings and strictness.
  1467. - Fix dpkg-divert unit test to work on BSD «rm -rf» that cannot traverse
  1468. directories with mode 000.
  1469. - Fix dpkg-divert unit test to work when there is no /dev/full.
  1470. - Skip test cases when there is no c++filt available.
  1471. - Add test cases for Dpkg::Conf and Dpkg::Checksums.
  1472. - Handle libtool executables in progname unit test.

  1475. * Build system:
  1476. - Bump gettext version to 0.19:
  1477. + Use --add-location=file in msgmerge and xgettext commands.
  1478. + Use --porefs=noline for po4a command.
  1479. - Wrap file references in man page PO files with po4a --porefs=wrap.
  1480. - Fix support for cross-building dpkg:
  1481. + Assume a working C99 snprintf on SUS >= v3.
  1482. + Do not try to run the va_copy configure check, just check that the
  1483. symbol is available.
  1484. - Check that HAVE_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST is 0 instead of undefined, to fix a
  1485. build failure on uclibc based systems. Closes: #777044
  1486. Based on a patch by Alex Potapenko <opotapenko@gmail.com>.
  1487. - Use single suffix rules instead of non-portable %-pattern rules.
  1488. - Pass CC to the test suite, so that we can use a non-gcc compiler.
  1489. - Call AM_PROG_AR to detect the correct system archiver to use.
  1490. - Pass -Wall to automake in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, not implied by foreign.
  1491. * Packaging:
  1492. - Remove old trigger related Breaks and Conflicts from dpkg.
  1493. - Only use stackprotectorstrong when building dpkg with gcc >= 4.9.

  1893. command. Suggested by Don Armstrong <don@debian.org>.
  1894. * Add a new dpkg-buildflags qa feature area:
  1895. - Add a new bug feature, disabled by default, which will enable fatal
  1896. warnings for code that can pose actual problems. Closes: #682659

  1908. * Remove lpia architecture support.
  1909. * Improvements and portability fixes to start-stop-daemon:
  1910. - Abort if the system or compatibility setsid() fails.
  1911. - Do not exit from the first parent before the pidfile has been created,
  1912. when using --background and --make-pidfile, to avoid the race condition.
  1913. Based on a patch by Nir Soffer <nirs@hyperms.com>. Closes: #686420

  1915. Reported by Will Conley <willconley3@gmail.com>. Closes: #760222
  1916. - Do not abort on --stop when only --pid or --ppid options are specified.
  1917. Thanks to Christos Trochalakis <yatiohi@ideopolis.gr>. Closes: #763767
  1918. - On kFreeBSD systems do not unnecessarily make kvm_openfiles() open
  1919. /dev/mem. This causes issues on FreeBSD jails for example.
  1920. Reported by Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>.
  1921. - On systems using libkvm, do not fail when kvm_getprocs() cannot find
  1922. any process.
  1923. * Map i786 to i386 also for the multiarch pathname in dpkg-architecture.
  1924. * Handle omitted binary packages due to build profiles in dpkg-genchanges.
  1925. Based on a patch by Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>. Closes: #758191
  1926. * Update restriction formula syntax for build profiles:
  1927. - Restriction lists are now restriction formulas.
  1928. - Restriction formulas are given in disjunctive normal form expression:
  1929. <foo> <bar baz> <blub>
  1930. - Removal of the implicit prefix/namespace mechanic.
  1931. - Construct the profiles entry of the Packages-List field by converting
  1932. the "<bar baz> <blub>" syntax into "bar,baz+blub".
  1933. - Include a temporary compatibility mapping with the old way to write
  1934. the Build-Profiles field in binary packages which can be removed once
  1935. all affected source packages have moved to the new syntax.
  1936. Thanks to Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>. Closes: #760158
  1937. * Normalize instdir in dpkg by removing trailing «/» and «/.». This gets
  1938. rid of several inconsistencies and doubled «/» in syscalls and output
  1939. messages.
  1940. * Never try to remove the root directory or its backups. There's no point in
  1941. it, and makes life more difficult for a read-only root with a read-write
  1942. overlay or a symlink farm. Requested by sepero111@gmx.com.
  1943. * Remove arbitrary filename limit from dpkg-deb, which was lifted some
  1944. time ago when the code switched to a dynamic string via varbuf.
  1945. * Do not pipe the files to sign from dpkg-buildpackage to GnuPG. When GnuPG
  1946. uses the gpg-agent it is unable to detect the correct tty configuration
  1947. if stdin is a pipe instead of the current terminal. Closes: #762391
  1948. * Add a new --hash option to enable generating only specific file checksums
  1949. in dpkg-scanpackages. Requested by Thorsten Glaser <tg@debian.org>.
  1950. * Add architecture restriction options for dpkg-architecture -L. This allows
  1951. selecting specific subsets of all valid known architectures, matching by
  1952. wildcard (-W), endianness (-E) or bits (-B). The restricting options can
  1953. be combined, or omitted altogether. Closes: #762635
  1954. * Say arch-wildcard instead of arch-alias in dpkg-architecture --help output.
  1955. * Test suite:
  1956. - Do not leave temporary files behind on failure or when interrupted.
  1957. - Add basic unit tests for the FNV hashing function.
  1958. - Add unit tests for the libdpkg tar extractor.
  1959. * Add --build and --extract command aliases to dpkg-source.
  1960. * Print file or package names instead of pointers in dpkg debug output,
  1961. to make it more meaningful and reproducible.
  1962. * Fix off-by-one error in libdpkg command argv size calculation.
  1963. Based on a patch by Bálint Réczey <balint@balintreczey.hu>. Closes: #760690
  1964. * Switch the libdpkg string hashing function from FNV-1 to the recommended
  1965. FNV-1a variant.
  1966. * Switch the dpkg files database string hashing function from what appears
  1967. to be a custom hash function to the libdpkg FNV-1a implementation. As a
  1968. side effect this fixes an integer overflow. Addresses: #760741
  1969. * Double the dpkg files database hash table size to the closest 2^18 prime.
  1970. Times have changed, and it's common to have at least these many files.
  1971. This reduces the amount of collisions.
  1972. * Document optional dpkg -C argument in --help output. Closes: #763000
  1973. * Consider a hardlink tar entry as a regular file for mode values, i.e.
  1974. assign to it S_IFREG instead of 0.

  2008. * Switch start-stop-daemon on GNU/kFreeBSD systems to use libkvm, instead
  2009. of relying on linprocfs which is not the native procfs on kFreeBSD, and it
  2010. is usually not mounted as FreeBSD programs do not expect it to be present.

  2025. Closes: #757637
  2026. * Documentation:
  2027. - Add a short description to each virtual field in dpkg-query(1), and
  2028. mention the version they got introduced in dpkg.
  2029. - Fix formatting of last paragraphs inside dselect(1) --color description.
  2030. * Rework dselect columns code, to make it easier to maintain and read.
  2031. * Add new architecture columns to dselect package list view. The new
  2032. columns, shown by default, can be turned off with the new ‘A’ key,
  2033. or bound to another key via the new “archdisplay” keybinding.

  2054. templates, and examples in man pages.
  2055. * Update some dpkg git URLs to the new and newer (cgit switch) scheme.
  2056. * Changes to libcompat:
  2057. - Make the library testable.
  2058. - Do not run qsort() over the scandir() list if it is NULL.
  2059. - Add a setexecfilecon() compatibility function out from dpkg code.
  2060. * Use SELinux setexecfilecon() if available in dpkg instead of ad-hoc code.

  2070. consider it an error and refuse to operate at all if the user or group
  2071. names are not known to the system, just preserve them. Closes: #563307
  2072. * Do not write to the available file when unpacking binary packages. This
  2073. information is not useful as dpkg has never recorded the archive path,
  2074. so it has never been truly available for re-installation anyway.
  2075. * Add versioned Provides support:
  2076. - Add a new dpkg --assert-versioned-provides command.
  2077. - Packages can provide a specific version, “virtual (= 1.0)” which will
  2078. be honored, previously it would just be accepted when parsing.
  2079. - Non-versioned virtual packages will not satisfy versioned dependencies.
  2080. - Versioned virtual packages will satisfy non-versioned dependencies.

  2085. * Add support for new hardening build flag stackprotectorstrong in Debian
  2086. and derivatives, enabled by default. It will fallback to stackprotector
  2087. when the former is not functional or disabled by the user.
  2088. Thanks to Romain Francoise <rfrancoise@debian.org>.
  2089. * Change «dpkg-deb --field» code to use the libdpkg deb822 parser instead
  2090. of an ad-hoc one. This makes sure any field fixup and sanity check is
  2091. performed on the input, and gets reflected on the output.
  2092. * Add new dpkg-query virtual fields db:Status-Want, db:Status-Status and
  2093. db:Status-Eflag to allow fine-grained access to the Status values.
  2094. * Automatically add the Testsuite field in dpkg-source to the .dsc file.

  2102. - Mention that -nc does not apply either when -F is specified.
  2103. - Mention that the --FOO-option options can be used multiple times.
  2104. - Fix a typo in the BUGS section.
  2105. * Mark the “and” between the filenames as regular format in dpkg-source(1).

  2107. * Clarify error message in Dpkg::Source::Quilt when patches fail to apply,
  2108. to note that the patch might be malformed (besides not accepting patches
  2109. with fuzz).
  2110. * Try to preallocate the disk size for extracted files on unpack. This
  2111. might help in avoiding filesystem fragmentation, and possibly improve
  2112. performance on some filesystems.
  2113. * Print the correct removed binary filename when building a source package

  2115. * Add powerpcel support to cputable. Thanks to Jae Junh <jaejunh@embian.com>.
  2116. * Bump the i386 architecture GNU triplet to i586-linux-gnu to match the
  2117. change in gcc. Somewhat reluctantly, as i386 wants to be its unique
  2118. snowflake and use a GNU triplet not matching its baseline. This will
  2119. cause problems when cross-building and using unmatched combinations of

  2631. * Add GnuPG 2.x support. Add gnupg2 and gpgv2 as alternative Recommends to
  2632. gnupg and gpgv (to not pull them by default), but prefer gpgv2 over gpgv,
  2633. and gpg2 over gpg at run-time if they are available.
  2634. * Switch dpkg conflictor tracking from a fixed-size array to a queue,
  2635. fixing several related issues, due to conflictors not being removed from
  2636. the array after processing them. dpkg could fill it due to additions in
  2637. previous package processing producing very confusing error messages; and
  2638. a theoretical problem where a package could get appended to be removed,
  2639. then reinstalled as a new version, to get removed again when revisiting
  2640. the array in a subsequent package processing. Closes: #726112
  2641. * Do not accept empty field names in dpkg.
  2642. * Do not accept an initial hyphen in field names.

  4350. insecure paths (with "/../") and also error out when it would apply a

  4394. * Fix dpkg-query and dpkg-trigger to actually print a version on --version.
  4395. * Always spawn a new shell on conffile prompt, instead of supporting
  4396. self backgrounding, remove DPKG_NO_TSTP environment variable support.

  4409. dpkg-deb --info or --field use mkdtemp() to create a temporary directory
  4410. instead of insecure tempnam() or tmpnam() functions.
  4411. * Remove --license and --licence options from tools.
  4412. * Securely remove newly installed files when rolling-back a failed unpack.
  4413. * Change default lzma compression level from 9 to 6.
  4414. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch.
  4415. * Add support for xz compressed data.tar member of binary packages. Add
  4416. xz-utils to dpkg's Pre-Depends. Closes: #542160
  4417. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch.
  4418. * Use xz command to handle lzma compressed files in dpkg and dpkg-dev.
  4419. This removes the lzma package from both dpkg and dpkg-dev dependencies.
  4420. * Do not set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage when cross-building.
  4421. The proper solution to this is to let the build system choose the
  4422. appropriate pkg-config binary for the build or host system in the same
  4423. way pkg.m4 is handling it now. Closes: #551118
  4424. * Dynamically link against all external libraries. This includes libbz2
  4425. and zlib for dpkg-deb and libselinux for dpkg on GNU/Linux.
  4426. * Mark the libdpkg.a API as volatile and require any possible users to set
  4427. LIBDPKG_VOLATILE_API to acknowledge that fact.
  4428. * Add a new libdpkg-dev package with the headers and the static library,
  4429. although its API should be considered volatile.
  4430. * Reorganize the doc contents that goes into each package:
  4431. - README.multicd only in dselect.
  4432. - README.api only in development packages, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-dev.
  4433. - triggers.txt only in dpkg-dev.
  4434. * Move source.lintian-overrides to debian/source/lintian-overrides.
  4435. * Switch SE Linux support to explicitly set path context. This fixes the
  4436. mislabeling of files under <admindir> on conffile extraction or on unpack
  4437. errors, due to improper default context restoration. Closes: #498438

  4462. * Implement symbol patterns (Closes: #563752). From now on, it is possible to
  4463. match multiple symbols with a single entry in the symbol file template.
  4464. While the concept is not new (wildcards also match multiple symbols),
  4465. patterns cover much more ground and are a lot more flexible. Together with
  4466. the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported:
  4467. - c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by
  4468. c++filt);
  4469. - symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature
  4470. which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented
  4471. on top of the new framework;
  4472. - regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression.
  4473. Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense.
  4474. * As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation,
  4475. patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a
  4476. pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result,
  4477. dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are
  4478. present in the symbol file (Closes: #541464). Please note, however, that
  4479. there is no way to detect symbol changes in the pattern match sets.
  4480. * Add source version to the dpkg-gensymbols diff label, reformat it according
  4481. to the rules of dpkg-name.
  4482. * Add -a<arch> option to dpkg-gensymbols.
  4483. * Add -q option to dpkg-gensymbols. -c0 will never fail but still generate a
  4484. diff. Use -c0 -q to keep dpkg-gensymbols completely quiet as before

  4634. * Update Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no changes needed).
  4635. * Major changes to the perl API:
  4636. - Dpkg::Control is now Dpkg::Control::Info
  4637. - Dpkg::Cdata is gone and is replaced by a new Dpkg::Control
  4638. - Dpkg::Control::Fields contains authoritative information
  4639. about fields allowed in various types of control information
  4640. (and can be customized by each vendor). It also integrates
  4641. information that was previously available through Dpkg::Deps.
  4642. - Dpkg::Changelog has been split in multiple modules and largely
  4643. modified to offer an interface that is now more in line with the
  4644. other modules.
  4645. * All dpkg-* perl programs that work with control information have been
  4646. updated to use the new Dpkg::Control interface.
  4647. In this process, dpkg-scanpackages has been fixed to not skip non-standard
  4648. fields. Closes: #494136

  4662. the discovered binary files. Closes: #554612
  4663. * Remove extra quoting that should not be there while passing an exclude
  4664. file to git ls-files during build of 3.0 (git) source package.
  4665. Thanks to Courtney Bane for the patch. Closes: #551829
  4666. * Optimize dpkg-source -b by avoiding many diff calls when not required.
  4667. Thanks to Mike Hommey for the idea. Closes: #554689

  4669. the source format that would be used during a build.
  4670. * Modify dpkg-source -b to use default build options from
  4671. debian/source/options. Thus it's now possible to have sticky options, for
  4672. example for the choice of a compression method (--compression=<comp>).
  4673. * dpkg-source outputs the list of upstream files modified by the diff.gz
  4674. (applies only to source packages using format 1.0). Closes: #482166
  4675. It also recommends usage of 3.0 (quilt) format during dpkg-source -b if it
  4676. detects changes to upstream files that are stored in the .diff.gz.
  4677. * Add DEP-3 compliant headers to automatic patches created by dpkg-source
  4678. in 3.0 (quilt) source format. Closes: #543581

  5682. concerns upgrading from dpkg version older than the one in oldstable
  5683. already. And thus we get rid of old the last usage of read in those
  5684. scripts (fixes lintian's warning read-in-maintainer-script).
  5685. * Removed sorting of dependencies in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-source. But
  5686. kept it for all other fields (Enhances, Conflicts, Replaces, Breaks,
  5687. Build-Conflicts and Build-Conflicts-Indep).
  5688. * Instead changed dpkg-shlibdeps to sort the dependencies generated in
  5689. ${shlibs:*} variables.
  5690. * Changed the logic of simplification of dependencies: if any dependency
  5691. must be discarded due to another dependency appearing further
  5692. in the field, the superseding dependency will take the place of the
  5693. discarded one. Added a test case for this.
  5694. * dpkg-shlibdeps properly accounts usage of symbols provided by private
  5695. libraries without SONAME. Closes: #469838
  5696. * Add a new warning to dpkg-shlibdeps when a library NEEDED is in fact
  5697. not used by any of the binaries analyzed. Closes: #472332
  5698. * Add a new --warnings=<value> option to select the set of warnings to
  5699. activate. By default, do not activate the warning about useless
  5700. libraries at the binary level (instead the new warning above is activated
  5701. by default: it's less strict and more useful).
  5702. * dpkg-source has been heavily refactored to make it easier to support
  5703. multiple source package formats. Several new source package formats have
  5704. been added:
  5705. - the format "2.0" is the original wig&pen
  5706. - the format "3.0 (quilt)" is based on 2.0. It uses a tarball for the
  5707. debian directory and can thus include binary files. Binaries
  5708. outside of the debian directory can be also included if they
  5709. are listed in debian/source/include-binaries (and option
  5710. --include-binaries will generate this file automatically).
  5711. Closes: #4588, #4628
  5712. - thus it will also preserve timestamps on Debian-provided
  5713. documentation like README.Debian. Closes: #366555
  5714. - it handles an explicit series of patches and the patch can thus be
  5715. named without constraints. Patches can contain arbitrary
  5716. headers/comments between file chunks. Closes: #363018
  5717. - it ignores changes on a number of temporary and VCS-specific files
  5718. by default. Closes: #203792, #323909
  5719. - the patches in debian/patches can remove files. Closes: #12564
  5720. - the patches are applied at unpack time. Closes: #463048
  5721. - the formats "3.0 (quilt/native)" don't include VCS directories by
  5722. default. Closes: #435126
  5723. - the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package
  5724. containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can
  5725. generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way
  5726. (like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918
  5727. - the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based
  5728. on corresponding VCS repositories. Thanks to Joey Hess and Colin Watson
  5729. respectively.
  5730. * dpkg-source has a new --no-check option. It disables GPG check and
  5731. checksums checks. Closes: #220758
  5732. * dpkg-shlibdeps is now able to look into directories containing libraries
  5733. used by cross-built binaries provided that the right environment variable
  5734. are set. Closes: #453267
  5735. * Change default value of LDFLAGS (set by dpkg-buildpackage) to ''
  5736. instead of '-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions'. It's safer at this point of the
  5737. release cycle.
  5738. * dpkg-buildpackage will set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR (but not override an existing
  5739. value) in case of cross-compilation so that pkgconfig finds .pc files
  5740. in the directory specific to the target architecture. Closes: #439979
  5741. [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
  5742. * Add a warning in dpkg-buildpackage if the build-dependencies are not
  5743. satisfied during -S. Closes: #445552

  5745. * Add improved deb-shlibs.5 manual page by Zack Weinberg. Closes: #466135
  5746. * dpkg-buildpackage exports some build related environment variables

  5748. (See dpkg-buildpackage(1) and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistCompilerFlags
  5749. for details)
  5750. * Add support for use of SHA1 and SHA256 checksums in .dsc and
  5751. .changes files. Information will be available in Checksums-Sha{1,256}
  5752. fields. .changes format version increased to 1.8.

  6098. [ Raphaël Hertzog ]
  6099. * Heavy rework of dpkg-shlibdeps:
  6100. - Support "symbols" files to generate finer-grained dependencies.
  6101. Those files can be created by the new dpkg-gensymbols command.
  6102. Closes: #430367
  6103. - Uses now all paths in RPATH (instead of only the first).
  6104. Closes: #395942
  6105. - Support parsing include directives in /etc/ld.so.conf. Closes: #431597
  6106. - Libraries are also searched in the public directories of packages
  6107. being built and thus debian/shlibs.local can effectively define
  6108. dependencies for libraries that are being built. Closes: #80340
  6109. - "symbols" files use the full SONAME as key instead of splitting it in
  6110. (name, version) like in the "shlibs" format. This allows binaries to
  6111. be linked with unversioned libraries and not fail. Note that
  6112. unversioned libraries are still a very bad idea. Closes: #48208
  6113. - dpkg-shlibdeps now supports '-x<package>' options that can be used to
  6114. exclude packages from generated dependencies (use with care though).
  6115. Closes: #41907, #109954
  6116. - If dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't find any dependency information for a
  6117. shared library that is actively used, then it will fail. This can be
  6118. disabled with the option '--ignore-missing-info'. Closes: #10807
  6119. * Switch perl programs to use the new Dpkg::Deps module. This changes the
  6120. behaviour of dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-source which will rewrite and

  7764. * No longer validate dependency fields when reading the control file.
  7765. Some fields may have vars in them, which breaks the validation.

  7802. * No longer generate helpmsgs.{cc,h}.
  7803. * several controllib changes:
  7804. * Moved dependency parsing logic from dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
  7805. The dpkg-checkbuilddeps parser didn't support empty fields, while
  7806. the controllib parser did.
  7807. * All dependency fields parsed by controllib.pl support [arch]
  7808. specifiers. If the arch specifier doesn't apply for the current
  7809. arch, then the item will not be added to the internal list structure.
  7810. * Comment lines(that begin with '#') are removed during parsing.
  7811. * Store the original casing of field names, for use in error reporting.
  7812. * Store the original field's casing with 'o:' prepended in %fi.

  8326. * Changed dpkg.cfg to include no-debsig by default, as no debs are
  8327. currently signed, and we get false errors when debsig-verify is
  8328. installed. This will be removed in the future, when the archive tools

  8335. dpkg (1.9.0) unstable; urgency=low
  8336. * Things should mostly work OpenBSD 2.8 as well now
  8337. * Added a --status-pipe option.
  8338. * Fixed several memleaks.
  8339. * Profiled dpkg.
  8340. * Reworked lib/parse.c:parsedb(). Instead of using getc(), then
  8341. calling varbufaddc(), it now reads the entire file at once into a
  8342. huge buffer, then moves pointers around, to do the parsing. This
  8343. gave a speedup of 33% on a dual celeron 333, when reading status and
  8344. available.
  8345. * various other speedups.
  8346. * Removed all --smallmem code, as smallmem and largemem now actually
  8347. use about the same amount of memory, and largemem is faster. Both
  8348. --largemem and --smallmem are now obselete options, and will print
  8349. a warning if used. Closes: Bug#84905, #67528

  8351. segfaults. Closes: Bug#25317(plus 9 others, thru the beauty of
  8352. merges)

  8355. could not be broken. Closes: Bug#87985(and 3 others)

  8722. * Fixed incorrect patch for --print-architecture (oops, oh well
  8723. it was already broken when there was no gcc anyway :)
  8724. * Fixed missing mipseb that was supposed to be in the archtable
  8725. * Better output in update-alternatives --config, now shows the
  8726. current, and the preferred choices.
  8727. * dpkg-name: ignore epoch when getting version
  8728. * 50dpkg-dev.el: add it as a conffile for dpkg-dev
  8729. * internals.sgml: Removed references to the versions of build tools,
  8730. they date the document.
  8731. * debian-changelog-mode.el: added hint for better log-email handling
  8732. * Added recognition for new source-depends fields for policy
  8733. referenced in bug #41232
  8734. * dpkg-buildpackage: add -ap option to force a pause prior to starting
  8735. the sign process. This helps for people who don't keep their signatures
  8736. on the filesystem (on a floppy perhaps, then mount as needed).
  8737. * minor script corrections
  8738. * dpkg-dev control: Change gcc to c-compiler in the recommends field, and
  8739. move cpio, patch and make to the depends line
  8740. * Leave file info intact in available when installing packages. MD5sum,
  8741. Filename, and MSDOS-Filename used to get lost when installing a
  8742. package.
  8743. * Added armv4l to archtable
  8744. * Added 'D' to the list of choices for conffile handling, closes: #48137
  8745. * Converted internals.sgml to debiandoc format. Also added a dpkg-doc
  8746. package that contains the generated output from this file (.ps, .html
  8747. and .info), includes doc-base support. Internals.sgml is also not
  8748. generated on the binary-arch target, and is no longer "byhand"
  8749. * dpkg-gencontrol: add "Source" to the fields placed in the control file
  8750. * dpkg-parsechangelog: fixed loop for parsepath (#48526)
  8751. * main/{processarc.c,depcon.c}: added new structure for conflictors,
  8752. which contains a struct for conflicts. This is used to create an array
  8753. of conflicting packages, which are going to be replaced. Allows for
  8754. multiple conflicts and replaces. All conflictor handlers were
  8755. converted to loops to handle each one (processarc.c).
  8756. * dpkg-divert: Fix check for writable filesystem, closes: #48646

  8761. dpkg (1.4.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
  8762. * Add support for long filenames, along with --assert-longfilenames
  8763. * Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
  8764. a different uid when starting a process
  8765. * Add mipseb and mipsel to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
  8766. both viable names for the mips big endian arch, and mipsel is also needed
  8767. * Update dpkg-architecure's archtable
  8768. * Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
  8769. of the registered alternatives for a specific name
  8770. * Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
  8771. and uses
  8772. * Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
  8773. it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor in dselect
  8774. * Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
  8775. * Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
  8776. when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
  8777. this is just a documentation fix).
  8778. * Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
  8779. it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
  8780. * Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
  8781. a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
  8782. * Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
  8783. * When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
  8784. packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
  8785. and continue.
  8786. * Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
  8787. the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
  8788. output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
  8789. * Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
  8790. we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
  8791. already generated anyway
  8792. * Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
  8793. to libtool itself after running configure
  8794. * Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
  8795. Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
  8796. arch
  8797. * Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
  8798. this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
  8799. different in layout
  8800. * Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
  8801. for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
  8802. largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
  8803. * debian/rules: chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
  8804. in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
  8805. distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
  8806. simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
  8807. source.
  8808. * Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
  8809. pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
  8810. * When running --configure on an already installed package, just
  8811. say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
  8812. state
  8813. * Fixed some compiler warnings
  8814. * Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
  8815. since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
  8816. borked in the first place
  8817. * Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
  8818. * Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
  8819. * start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
  8820. * update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
  8821. are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
  8822. to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
  8823. * dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
  8824. destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
  8825. changing the diversion registry
  8826. * Fix bad regex in update-rc.d

  8839. * Add check to update-alternatives to see if the sequencecode is between
  8840. 0 and 99
  8841. * Fix failed assertion, which was actually two bugs: a logic error in
  8842. checkforremoval and a wrong assumption in findbreakcycle
  8843. * dselect doesn't die when you resize the terminal
  8844. * check if a file is also in a new package before removing it when upgrading
  8845. * offer to show a diff between the old and new conffile
  8846. * dpkg-scanpackages: don't abort but only skip a package if we can't
  8847. open it
  8848. * Add HURD-support to start-stop-daemon
  8849. * Reinstate patch to not read available when doing --list-files

  9978. * postinst removes /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/hd if upgrading from
  9979. 0.93.42.3 or earlier.

  9983. `standard' or better unless they're explicitly deselected.

  10017. several related packages with --no-act.
  10018. * dpkg --auto is now two options, --pending or -a (for configure,
  10019. remove, &c) and --recursive or -R (for install, unpack, &c).

  10046. about when to use .../ (show as many trailing components as possible

  10065. * dselect initial selection granularity is single-package.
  10066. * dpkg --no-also-select option renamed to --selected-only (old option
  10067. still accepted, but no longer in --help). Changed -N to -O.
  10068. * dselect `update' option changed to `install' (and other options
  10069. renamed too). NB: old access methods will not work, because
  10070. the `update' script should now be an `install' script.

  10085. * problem with C/C++ linkage of stuff in "myopt.h" fixed, to help
  10086. with compiling with GCC 2.7.0.
  10087. * dselect Makefile.in `clean' deletes curkeys.inc &c, so that they are

  10254. recursive package list in dselect.
  10255. * Column heading characters corrected from `SHOC' to `HSOC'.

  10267. exist, and when selecting or skipping a package that isn't
  10268. currently selected (during unpack processing).

  10346. * dpkg failed to initialise status if you tried to remove or

  10348. * install-info now handles START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY entries like:

  10350. Previously it would only accept (Bug #407):
  10351. * Gdb: (gdb). The GNU debugger.
  10352. * When installing a new foo.info[.gz], install-info now replaces
  10353. * Foo: (foo.info). The Gnoo Foo.
  10354. as well as just * Foo: (foo). ...
  10355. * Moved option parsing out of dpkg-deb into libdpkg.
  10356. * Assorted minor source code rearrangements.

  10366. Changes in dpkg 0.93.22:
  10367. * Fixed bug which caused dpkg to see failures of md5sum where there
  10368. were none (would also have caused dpkg to miss a real failure).

  10379. * Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database.
  10380. * Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling.
  10381. * Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the
  10382. `dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles. This means
  10383. that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of
  10384. /etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead. However, the
  10385. link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles.
  10386. * When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that
  10387. wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't
  10388. do any prompting but just install the version from the archive.
  10389. * Corrected error message if exec of dpkg --vextract failed
  10390. and --instroot or --root specified.
  10391. * Added new --force-unpack-any option.
  10392. * Extra newline after --status output.
  10393. * Added -W options to CFLAGS.

  10396. * Fixed invocation of dpkg-deb --vextract if --root or --instdir
  10397. not specified.
  10398. * Create /var/lib/dpkg/updates.
  10399. Changes in dpkg 0.93.17:
  10400. * install-info --remove exits with status 0 if it doesn't find the
  10401. thing to remove, instead of status 1.
  10402. * Error handling functions have __attribute__((format...)) if GCC.
  10403. * push_cleanup its arg takes void **argv instead of char **argv.
  10404. * Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops.
  10405. * dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages.
  10406. Changes in dpkg 0.93.16:
  10407. * Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'.
  10408. * install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask.
  10409. * Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail,
  10410. and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways.
  10411. * dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with
  10412. /var/{adm,lib}/dpkg. Should be faster.
  10413. * Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised.
  10414. Changes in dpkg 0.93.15:
  10415. * Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive.
  10416. * Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib.
  10417. * Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search.
  10418. * Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but
  10419. dpkg-deb not yet updated).
  10420. * Added --root, --admindir and --instdir, as well as --isok &c.
  10421. * Moved much stuff into /usr/lib/dpkg-lib.pl, rewritten status
  10422. database handling.
  10423. * Put packages in `purge' state even if `deinstall' requested if
  10424. they have no postrm and no conffiles.
  10425. * Version number comparisons fixed.
  10426. * insert-version.pl now installes lib.pl filename too.
  10427. * Strip trailing slashes when reading files from file lists.
  10428. Changes in dpkg 0.93.14:
  10429. * Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace.
  10430. * postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file.
  10431. * Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider
  10432. packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead.
  10433. * Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old
  10434. configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles.
  10435. Changes in dpkg 0.93.13:
  10436. * sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl.
  10437. * Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error
  10438. if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file.
  10439. * Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call.
  10440. * New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN
  10441. directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst.
  10442. Changes in dpkg 0.93.12:
  10443. * No longer needs *.ph files, since these appear to be broken.
  10444. * Postinst fixes up *.control files with curly brackets.
  10445. * embryo of dselect.
  10446. Changes in dpkg 0.93.11:
  10447. * New --ignore-depends option.

  10467. * dpkg 0.93.9 released.
  10468. * dpkg.pl: Use $argument, not $package, with `--build'.

  10470. Tue Oct 18 09:40:57 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10471. * dpkg 0.93.8 released.
  10472. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir ()
  10473. when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this
  10474. case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and
  10475. are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence).
  10476. Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10477. * Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards.
  10478. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are
  10479. removed LAST! This will result in complete removal of packages
  10480. when --remove is called. dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems
  10481. with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which
  10482. will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time.
  10483. * deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name.
  10484. Tue Oct 4 12:27:10 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10485. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): When a list file cannot be
  10486. opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
  10487. * deb/util.c (return_info): When a control file cannot be opened,
  10488. silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
  10489. * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Exit 0 if the regular expression is
  10490. matched and 1 if it is not.
  10491. Mon Oct 3 18:38:53 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10492. * dpkg.pl: New file. Replaces dpkg.sh.
  10493. * deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'.
  10494. * deb/build.c (pkg_build): `--build' is less verbose, instead
  10495. letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
  10496. * deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto.
  10497. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto.
  10498. * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto.
  10499. * deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose,
  10500. instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
  10501. The ``Description:'' label has been removed.
  10502. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose,
  10503. instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
  10504. The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer
  10505. information.
  10506. Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10507. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' now reports the
  10508. version number of dpkg if no argument is specified.
  10509. Thu Sep 1 13:31:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10510. * dpkg 0.93.7 released.
  10511. * deb/build.c (pkg_build): check status and exit if non-zero.
  10512. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): ditto.
  10513. * deb/install.c (archive_extract): ditto.
  10514. Thu Sep 1 13:20:08 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10515. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): indent to the same point as
  10516. pkg_describe.
  10517. Thu Sep 1 12:21:11 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10518. * Makefile.in (dist): added debian.rules binary, source and
  10519. dist targets to make final distribution easier to make.
  10520. (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
  10521. * deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
  10522. * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters
  10523. for the package name in the output.
  10524. (pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for
  10525. the front-end to parse the output.
  10526. (pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description
  10527. with '\0'.
  10528. * deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to
  10529. ensure that permissions are preserved.
  10530. Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10531. * dpkg 0.93.6 released.
  10532. * deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is
  10533. true!
  10534. Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10535. * dpkg 0.93.5 released.
  10536. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents
  10537. into function pkg_contents.
  10538. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so
  10539. that symbolic links are recognized.
  10540. (pkg_contents): print the usual `<path> -> <link_to>' now that we
  10541. recognize symbolic links.
  10542. * deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed
  10543. information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory
  10544. in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do.
  10545. Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
  10546. * lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed
  10547. area.
  10548. (mk_mode_string): ditto.
  10549. * dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a
  10550. uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation.
  10551. * dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during
  10552. package removal.
  10553. * dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure.
  10554. * deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and
  10555. is a Debian archive before doing anything.
  10556. * deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and
  10557. is a Debian archive before doing anything.
  10558. * deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done.
  10559. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that
  10560. --remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a
  10561. directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic
  10562. link never being removed at all.
  10563. ChangeLog begins Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 for dpkg 0.93.5.
