to configure{,.in} to also use the -rpath linker option on non-Intel

this change does not affect i386 systems, it fixes an important bug for
other Debian architectures and should go into frozen (fixes #23674)

debhelper (1.0) stable unstable; urgency=low
* 1.0 at last!
* This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go
into unstable only.
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules

debhelper (1.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
* New unstable branch of debhelper.
* TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
* Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
updating 27 man pages.
* dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
* doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.6.0 -> 0.6.1 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.6.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Inserted GPL boilerplate text in every file whose format allowed comments.
* (doc/lintian.sgml) Use new <url> tag.
* (info/overrides) New override for the file in kbd-data with the strange
name. Having lintian handle that file correctly would be too expensive.
This "closes" bug#25107.
* (checks/control-files, checks/control-files.desc)
New tag: use-of-killall-in-maintainer-script (experimental)
Added at the recommendation of Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>.
This closes bug#22206.
* (depcheck/deppages.pl, reporting/html_reports)
Added arm and hurd-i386 to the list of architectures to check.
* (doc/libtool-rpath-workaround.txt, checks/binaries.desc)
Revamped doc file at Rob Browning's suggestion, and renamed it to
doc/libtool-workarounds.txt because it describes both -rpath and -lc
workarounds. Updated the info for the tags binary-not-linked-against-libc
and binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath to refer to the new file.
* (doc/desc-files) Moved from private/DESC.
Briefly describes the meanings of the fields used in lintian's .desc files.
* (doc/TODO)
Updated and restructured version of what used to be in private/TODO,
various bugreports and mailed suggestions. This will become the
central place for potential improvements to lintian. I hope that
having it in /usr/doc/lintian will inspire some people to help.
lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.7 -> 0.7.1 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.7.1) unstable; urgency=low
* (reporting/html_reports)
Fixed: Print bug number with tags that were reported as bugs.
* (checks/scripts, checks/scripts.desc)
Added /usr/bin/expect (provided by expect) as known interpreter.
* (unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l2)
Fixed: chmod -R the right directory when unpacking a source package.
* (collection/diffstat, collection/diffstat.desc)
New collection script that runs diffstat on the Debian diff.
* (debian/control)
Depend on diffstat, version >= 1.27-1 so that it can parse Debian diffs.
* (checks/debdiff, checks/debdiff.desc)
New check that look at the filenames included in the Debian diff.
New tag:
W: patch-failure-file-in-diff foo.rej
* (checks/control-files, checks/control-files.desc)
New tag:
W: dpkg-print-architecture-in-maintainer-script
(dpkg --print-installation-architecture should be used there)
lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.7.1 -> 0.7.2 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.7.2) unstable; urgency=low
* (unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l1, unpack/unpack-binpkg-l1, unpack/unpack-binpkg-l2)
Speedup: replaced system("mkdir ...") with mkdir() calls.
* (unpack/unpack-binpkg-l1)
Speedup: avoid extracting control info twice.
More speedups are possible here.
* (unpack/unpack-binpkg-l1, unpack/unpack-binpkg-l2)
Speedup: avoid using dpkg-deb to unpack debs; construct a pipeline
with ar, gzip, and tar instead. It turns out to be far faster.
* Together, these changes made for a speed increase of some 30%
when checking packages that have to be unpacked.
lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.7.2 -> 0.7.3 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.7.3) unstable; urgency=low
* (frontend/lintian)
Fixed: --display-infotags option wasn't working.
* (reporting/harness, reporting/html_reports)
Have the archive check generate infotags but not display them on the
web pages. This way they are still available in the log file.
* (checks/fields, checks/fields.desc)
New tag: W: doc-package-depends-on-main-package
* (checks/menus, checks/menus.desc)
New tag: E: bad-menu-file-name
This is emitted for packages that install "/usr/lib/menu/menu", which
overlaps with the menu package. (I've seen it happen a couple of times).
* (checks/binaries, checks/binaries.desc)
Allow unstripped-binary-or-object for any package with "debug" in its
name. (This is in addition to the exeption already made for "-dbg").
Allow binary-not-linked-against-libc for libc itself :-)
* (lib/pipeline.pl)
New helper functions for starting pipelines from perl scripts, without
involving the shell. This makes it easier to pass filenames literally,
and often saves a shell invocation.
* (collection/diffstat, frontend/lintian, unpack/*)
Use the new pipeline functions.
* (checks/description, checks/description.desc)
New tag:
E: description-is-debmake-template
* (reporting/html_reports)
Quote < and > in displayed tags (such as occurs in email addresses).
This fixes the maintainer-name-missing tag output.
* (checks/copyright-file, checks/copyright-file.desc)
New tag:
E: copyright-file-is-gpl
Generated for copyright files that contain the complete GPL text.
lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.6.1 -> 0.7 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
* (reporting/html_reports)
- Rewritten (more modular).
- Create a page for each different tag, which gives the lintian-info
for that tag and then lists all occurrences of that tag, with each
tag line also being a link back to the page for the package in
which it occurs.
This closes bug#21390, reported by Gregory S. Stark <gsstark@mit.edu>.
- Instead of listing the lintian-info text with every different tag
in every package, make every tag a link to the page for that tag
(which will have the lintian-info for it at the top).
This should make the reports a lot smaller, and also more readable.
- Make a "Sorted by tag types" page and link to it from the index page.
* (doc/TODO) Entries [L3] and [L4] now complete.
* (checks/spelling, checks/spelling.desc)
Check README.Debian file as well, since we now collect it anyway
for the readme-debian-is-debmake-template tag.
New tag:
E: spelling-error-in-readme-debian
* (checks/fields) Added hurd-i386 to the list of known architectures, at
the request of Marcus Brinkmann <brinkmds@rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>.
* (checks/scripts, checks/scripts.desc)
Added trs to the list of known interpreters, as /usr/bin/trs provided
by konwert. Suggestion by Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>. This
closed bug#24998.
* (checks/files)
- Fixed: tags dir-in-user-local and file-in-usr-local did not print
the filename involved.
- Fixed: some tags were erroneously output as "setuid-gid-binary"
even though only one of suid or sgid was set.
* (checks/fields)
- Fixed: change a few cases of "maintainer-address-malformed"
to "maintainer-name-missing".
