New Debian powerpc Packages
These powerpc packages were installed into the Debian hierarchy in the
last week:
----- !!! HIGH URGENCY PACKAGES !!! -----
doc-base - Utilities to manage online documentation
doc-base 0.7.0 -> 0.7.1 into dists/hamm/main/binary-all/doc
doc-base 0.7.0 -> 0.7.1 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/doc
doc-base (0.7.1) frozen unstable; urgency=low (HIGH if you have problems
with quotes in document registration files)
* depend on recent Perl (closes Bug#21816)
* set umask explictly, so all files are -rw-r--r-- (closes Bug#22275)
* quote quotes for dwww-menu files (closes grave Bug#22990)
xadmin - A system admin/config tool for X-Windows.
xadmin 1.0.15-1 -> 1.0.15-2 into dists/hamm/main/binary-all/admin
xadmin (1.0.15-2) frozen; urgency=high
* Fixing grave Bug#23053: xadmin does not set perms correctly for /etc/shadow
----- MEDIUM Urgency Packages -----------
debmake - Debianizing Tool and automated binary generation
debmake 3.5.10 -> 3.5.11 into dists/hamm/main/binary-all/devel
debmake 3.5.10 -> 3.5.11 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debmake (3.5.11) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* postinst calls ldconfig only when called with "configure" (Bug #23228).
* Do not generate buildinfo.Debian files anymore.
* Standards-Version: 2.4.1 (also in deb-make).
* Section: devel.
jadetex - LaTeX macros for SGML to DVI/PS conversion with Jade
jadetex 0.61-1.1 -> 0.61-1.2 into dists/hamm/main/binary-all/tex
jadetex 0.61-1.1 -> 0.61-1.2 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/tex
jadetex (0.61-1.2) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* Non-maintainer release
* eliminate jadetex-texconfig for texconfig; use tetex's texconfig
instead. The old jadetex-texconfig is still in the source archive
though; hopefully it is no longer required.
(closes grave Bug#22688, Bug#22638, Bug#22639, Bug#22766)
* Note there are known cases, such as generating php-doc, where tetex
seems to run out of memory internally; I think this is a tetex-base
bug (report as a bug)
----- Low Urgency Packages --------------
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 0.88 -> 0.90 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
* I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
past week. Thanks, guys!
.
* Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
would do in the same situation.
* dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
debhelper 1.0!
* Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
to debhelper.
* dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
permissions changed.
* dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
some people enjoy changing root's name.
* dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
files are treated identically.
* dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
* Minor man page fixes.
* dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
* dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
--no-act is on. (#23054)
dpkg-repack - puts an unpacked .deb file back together
dpkg-repack 0.17 -> 0.18 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/admin
dpkg-repack (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed some debugging output I accidentially put in the last version.
* Workes now for packages that have filenames with spaces in them (like
maelstrom).
* Checged the descripton to remove the "attempts to". It should always
work. (heh)
idutch - The dutch dictionary for ispell, in new (August 1996) spelling.
wdutch - List of Dutch words in new (August 1996) spelling.
idutch 0.1e-4 -> 0.1e-5 into dists/hamm/main/binary-i386/text
idutch 0.1e-4 -> 0.1e-5 into dists/slink/main/binary-i386/text
wdutch 0.1e-4 -> 0.1e-5 into dists/hamm/main/binary-all/text
wdutch 0.1e-4 -> 0.1e-5 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/text
dutch (1:0.1e-5) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Use Kenneth McDonald's example postinst and prerm for registering
idutch as an ispell dictionary.
* debian/rules: install new maintainer scripts for ispell.
(It didn't have any before).
* This should go into frozen, because the previous idutch is nonfunctional
unless someone installs another ispell dictionary as well. (Thus, it
fails to fulfill the "Provides: ispell-dictionary" that it promises.)
The maintainer scripts that were added were taken from ispanish, with
s/spanish/dutch/ everywhere, so they have been well tested elsewhere.
* This problem was found by the testing group.
kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
kernel-package 4.11 -> 5.01 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/misc
kernel-package (5.01) unstable; urgency=low
* Added rudimentary support for the alpha. Please note that locations of
the image may change in the future.
* No longer ship unpacked sources in kernel-source-VERSION
packages. This makes sure that dpkg can handle removal gracefully, and
people may unpack the sources where they wish.
* Fixed typo in make-kpkg -help, closes: BUG#23276
* Documented --flavours argument of make-kpkg, which should bring the
man page uptodate. closes: BUG#23280
* Doh! A dangling symlink does not return true on an -e test; a valid
symlink does! Fixed error on logic that made dangling sym links cause
kernel-image packages to fail. closes: BUG#23273
* make the proccess not error out when there is no config.precious
file.
latex2html - LaTeX to HTML translator.
latex2html 98.1p1-4 -> 98.1p1-5 into dists/hamm/contrib/binary-all/tex
latex2html 98.1p1-4 -> 98.1p1-5 into dists/slink/contrib/binary-all/tex
latex2html (98.1p1-5) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* This fixes a critical problem with LaTeX2HTML going into an infinite
loop, rendering the program useless for people. The change involved is
a single line; we just close an open stream in the child of a
fork. For some reason, having the stream open in both the parent and
the child was the source of the problem. This is critical enough to
break the hard freeze.
latex2html - LaTeX to HTML translator.
latex2html 98.1p1-5 -> 98.1p5-1 into dists/slink/contrib/binary-all/tex
latex2html (98.1p5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fixing version.
* Additiojnal work done on converting the manual. This should fix all
known problems with it -- closes: Bug#20005
lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.4.6 -> 0.4.7 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.4.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed Christian's name wherever it appeared as a contact address.
* (depcheck/buglist) Entered newly reported bug numbers for dependency
problems.
* (checks/menus) Distinguish between install-docs and install-docs -r.
(closes #23049).
* (checks/files) Added new tag backup-file-in-package. This warns
about emacs-style backup files that got installed in a package.
* (frontend/lintian) Allow I: tags to be overridden just like any other.
* (frontend/lintian) Add support for "Experimental" tags. These are
handled like other tags, but an "Experimental: yes" flag in the tag
description tells lintian to output them with "X:" rather than "E:"
or "W:" or "I:". This is used for new tags that might still misbehave.
* (doc/lintian.sgml) Add a paragraph to explain the new tag type.
"The displayed message is one of types listed above, but has been
flagged as `experimental' by the Lintian maintainers. This means
that the code that generates this message is not as well tested as
the rest of Lintian, and might still give surprising results. Feel
free to ignore Experimental messages that do not seem to make sense,
though of course bug reports are always welcomed."
lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.4.7 -> 0.4.8 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
* (checks/fields)
New error tag: "multiline-field" flags control fields that span multiple
lines when they shouldn't. (According to the Packaging manual,
"Except where otherwise stated only a single line of data is allowed").
* (checks/fields)
Check dependency relationship fields as well.
New tags:
E: alternates-not-allowed
(generated for use of | in Provides, Conflicts, and Replaces fields)
E: versioned-provides
(generated for Provides fields that use a versioned package name)
W: obsolete-relation-form
(generated for use of < and > in versioned relationships)
W: bad-version-in-relation
(generated if the version number in a versioned relation
is not syntactically correct)
E: bad-relation
(generated if lintian cannot parse an element of a dependency line)
W: package-relation-with-self
* (checks/fields)
Bugfix to maintainer-not-full-name tag, it works now.
Added maintainer-address-looks-weird warning for obscure cases.
I doubt anyone will ever see it.
* (checks/fields)
Added new-essential-package warning, to highlight such packages.
* (checks/fields.desc) Descriptions of new tags.
