cvs-buildpackage - Debian package scripts for CVS source trees.
cvs-buildpackage 1.8 -> 1.10 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/devel
cvs-buildpackage (1.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a missing quote to cvs-upgrade
cvs-buildpackage - Debian package scripts for CVS source trees.
cvs-buildpackage 1.7 -> 1.8 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/devel
cvs-buildpackage (1.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed >$2 into >&2 as it should have been in the first place in
cvs-upgrade.
* cvs-upgrade and cvs-inject now follow cvs-buildpackage wrt -M and -x;
-M is the module name, in toto, -x gives a default prefix to the
module name, and can be set in the config file. Both may be set in env
variables. closes: Bug#18734
* All programs now look for and read ~/.cvsdeb.conf. closes: Bug#18742
cvsweb - A CGI interface to your CVS repository.
cvsweb 1.0.1-4 -> 105-1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/devel
cvsweb (1:105-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Add height and width attributes to all icons to speed page loading.
* Use new redrawn Mr. Blue-eye Debian logos, transparentized.
* Also install apache icons for folks using `boa' (#17493)
* Simplify the $gzip_output option in "cvsweb.conf" to either on or off
in the dpkg-inst default. (#18446)
* Use full `gzip -9' compression for web output stream.
* Changed version numbering to the Debian-only-package style, remem-
bering to use an epoch. This program comes from Bill Fenner at
FreeBSD, but my changes make the .diff larger than the original perl
script, since it would include the .gif files in UU-encoded form, as
well as my edits. The version id printout in the WWW output indicates
this is the SPI branch of `cvsweb'. I don't think Mr. Fenner will get
mad. :-)
* Reorganized the source directory, with a subdirectory for icons and
logos.
* Apply patch from Jim Pick <jim@jimpick.com> to regexp-quote a filename
variable so that "gtk+" will have a literal \#+ character rather than
a long string of \#k at the end. (#18445)
* Pulled the hard coded version number out of the script, replaced it
with @cvsweb_version@, renamed the script with a ".in" extension, put
a variable into "rules" that gets filled by a $(shell ...) statement
which uses `dpkg-parsechangelog' and `sed -n -e ...' to get the right
version number, and a rule to create `cvsweb' using a `sed' of
"cvsweb.in".
* Place under `cvs-buildpackage', choosing to reimport and thus toss the
history rather than retag my original CVS import.
* The "current directory" indicator is split on `/' and each subdirectory
is clickable for navigation now.

lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.2.4 -> 0.3.0 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.3.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Lintian now also works without a configuration file and without
a static laboratory! (Since Lintian is so easy to use now, there
are no excuses for not using it! ;-)
* Changed handling of lab:
- if no lab is specified, it is created dynamically by the
`lintian' command (the average use does not have to worry
about the lab anymore)
- since the dynamically created lab is placed in /tmp, several
users can run lintian at the same time without having to know
of each other
- the commands `lintian-setup' and `lintian-remove' have been
removed (fixes: bug#18707).
- a `static' laboratory can be created/updated or removed by
specifying the `--setup-lab' or `--remove-lab' options for the
`lintian' command
- added a lot of sanity checks to make removal of lab less risky :)
* Changed handling of configuration file:
- configuration file is not necessary anymore
- changed search path for the configuration file to:
$LINTIAN_CFG/lintianrc
$LINTIAN_ROOT/lintianrc
$HOME/.lintianrc
/etc/lintianrc
- all configuration variables have reasonable defaults and can
be overwritten by environment variables of the same name
- removed configuration file /etc/lintianrc--the file is now
installed as /usr/doc/lintian/lintianrc.example
- renamed all configuration variables to LINTIAN_xxxx
- relaxed syntax of configuration file. It's now also possible
to use `~' and `$HOME' in the configuration file (fixes:
bug#18559)
- added LINTIAN_ARCH configuration variable so that Lintian
handles distribution directories correctly if these contain
several architectures
* Changed parsing of command line arguments:
- if a package name is specified (instead of a file), look for
this package in the distribution directory and in the lab (in
earlier version, only the distribution directory was searched
for packages)
- added `--all' option to check the whole distribution
(in earlier version, this was the default operation)
- removed buggy `-n' command line option (this option wasn't
really useful anyways)
- the `-h' option displays a short description of all available
options now
- debug option `-d' can be specified several times to increase
the verbosity level
- recognize `--' as the end of options on the command line
* Improved overrides handling:
- the override files does not include the leading `[EW]:'
anymore
- the parameters of an error tag may be omitted to disable
a certain tag for a whole package
- when checking the full distribution, unused overrides are
displayed
- cleaned up overrides file and added/removed a few overrides
* Improved documentation:
- there is now a `Lintian User's Manual' which explains how to
setup and use Lintian to check ones packages, and which gives
insight on the design issues behind Lintian
- added a manual page for lintian-info (has been split off
from lintian(1))
- updated the documentation files and the example lintianrc file
- merged QUICKSTART file into the README
* Improved `binaries' check: check if a binary or shared library
defines RPATH
(Thanks to Ray Dassen for the suggestion! fixes: bug#18519)
New tag:
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath
* Improved `files' check:
WRT symbolic links:
- issue errors instead of warnings
- links between different top-level directories should always be
absolute
- check for relative links which contain to many `../' segments
- check for symbolic links which contain segments like `foo/../bar'
(Thanks to Manoj for the patch and the ideas!)
general:
- some additional checks for wrong file permissions
New tags:
symlink-has-too-many-up-segments
relative-symlink-enters-same-toplevel-directory
symlink-contains-up-and-down-segments
bad-permissions-for-etc-cron.d-script (renamed)
bad-permissions-for-etc-emacs-script
executable-in-usr-lib-sgml
* Fixed `control-files' check: check file permissions correctly;
also check file owners of control files
New tag:
control-file-has-bad-owner
* Fixed `copyright' check: check for package dependencies correctly
(fixes: bug#18611)
* Improved `conffiles' check: files in /var/lib/games should not be
tagged as conffile, in general.
New tag:
score-file-may-not-be-conffile
* Improved `manpages' check: files in /usr/X11R6/man/man6 usually
indicate X11 games in the wrong directory.
New tag:
x11-games-should-be-in-usr-games
* Fixed `init.d' check: skip comments in init.d file
(Thanks to Joey for pointing this out!)
- don't collect info for unselected collector scripts (internal bug)
* Internal changes:
- don't refer to package `ftp.debian.org' for bugs in the
$LINTIAN_DIST directory--refer to package `general' instead
- made list-binpkg and list-srcpkg more verbose
- made lintian-info less verbose (don't give detailed info more
than once)
- create control-index file which lists all files in control.tar.gz
- fix permissions in the lab after a package has been unpacked
- chdir to lab dir before running the checker and collection
scripts (this makes it easier to write checks in awk or even sh)
- pass vars to helpers via environment
- don't link static info/* files into lab
- implemented dpkg_read_control to parse all controls
- don't use dpkg-deb to get control information about a .deb
- collection and checking scripts `registry' is now done dynamically
- move tag descriptions from collector and checker scripts into
separate `.desc' files
- each base directory in the lab has a .lintian-status file now, which
can be used to detect incompatible lab changes, for example
- moved unused files and internal documents into a private/ directory
of the source package
- cleaned up code
lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.3.0 -> 0.3.1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.3.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Added `scripts' checks and collector, written by Richard. This check
checks the #! lines of scripts in a package.
[40 new tags]
* Added `spelling' checks, written by Richard. This check searches
the "Description:" field and the "copyright" file for common spelling
errors (typos).
[2 new tags]
* Improved `files' check: No package should install files directly into
/usr/share.
New tag:
file-directly-in-usr-share
* Fixed `files' check WRT files in /usr/lib/sgml and
/etc/emacs/site-start.d:
- ignore directories and symbolic links when checking for correct
file permissions
- display permissions in octal format
(fixes:bug#18866,#19026)
* Fixed `control-files' check: really ignore `control' control file
* Improved `lintian' frontend:
- parse command line parameters before reading the configuration
file. With that, `lintian -h' even works if the cfg file has
errors. (fixes:bug#19031)
- issue a warning and ignore `-all' option if packages are specified
at the same time (in older versions, this make lintian abort with
an error message)
- really check all packages listed in a .changes file
(fixes:bug#18851)
* Fixed `md5sums' check to handle file names with spaces correctly
* Put conffile /etc/lintianrc back in (fixes:bug#19031)
* Include information about libtool/rpath workaround by Yann Dirson
(Thanks Yann!)
* Added more overrides
* Internal changes:
- Each error tag has a (bug) `Severity' field now which can be used
to file bug reports with the correct severity
- Each helper script has an `Author' field now
- Fixed `unused overrides' report

linuxdoc.dtd
* removed SGMLDECL sgml/html.decl, because that's just obnoxious and
outside of the scope of this package (closes Bug#10956)

language specifier in the PUBLIC identifier should be stripped when
making links
