cvs-buildpackage - Debian package scripts for CVS source trees.
cvs-buildpackage 2.02 -> 2.03 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
cvs-buildpackage (2.03) unstable; urgency=low
* Incorporated patch for the HOWTO file from Adam P. Harris
<apharris@burrito.onshore.com> which fixes typos and clariies a few
things. closes: BUG#25550
* Added a dependency for cvs (should have done that earlier), since we
need it to do _anything_. closes: BUG#25551
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 1.1.0 -> 1.1.1 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (1.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if
some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
that don't always have the same files in them.
* dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.
* dh_compress: recognize standard -A parameter.
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 1.1.1 -> 1.1.3 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (1.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed.
* dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
at all for a long while.
* Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
* dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
large chunks in the process.
* dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
install many oddly named files it died on before.
* dh_installdocs: fixed a bug that installed TODO files mode 655 in native
debian packages.
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 1.1.3 -> 1.1.4 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (1.1.4) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
* dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
* dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
* Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
* Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
* Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
* I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686,
although this same problem applies to other debhelper programs... like
dh_installexamples, which had the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in
perl just now.
* Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
passed any switches.
* Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 1.1.4 -> 1.1.5 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (1.1.5) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl.
* dh_installdirs: converted to perl, getting rid of nasty chdir en-route.
* dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
prefer.
* doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
* Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
* dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 1.1.5 -> 1.1.6 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (1.1.6) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: don't die on symlinks (#25642). (Hope I got the fix right
this time..)
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (1.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
* examples/rules.multi: moved dh_movefiles into the install section.
* doc/README: Added a note explaining why above change was necessary.
* Dh_Lib.pm: escape_shell(): now escapes the full range of special
characters recognized by bash (and ksh). Thanks to Branden Robinson
<branden@purdue.edu> for looking that up.
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 1.1.7 -> 1.1.8 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (1.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Dh_Lib.pm: made U_PARAMS an array of parameters.
* Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
* dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
* dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
--update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.
debian-policy - Debian Policy Manual and related documents
debian-policy 2.4.1.2 -> 2.4.1.3 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/doc
debian-policy (2.4.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer (with changes from Adam P. Harris' proposed NMU)
* policy.sgml: some awkward phrasings fixed (closes Bug#22006)
* policy.sgml: s/depreciated/deprecated (closes Bug#21831)
* debian/control: added conflict doc-base (<< 0.6), which I still am not
sure why we need this but hey (closes Bug#21554)
* policy.sgml: use new <url> tag where appropriate
* policy.sgml, debian/control: always dynamically self reference the
current version of policy, that is, do not hard code policy revision
or date anywhere
* debian/rules: use dpkg-gencontrol -isp
* bugs fixed in some unknown previous version (closes Bug#23177)

* debian/{postint,prerm}: Fixed broken action handling (fixes bugs
#24918 and #25147) (thanks Adam!)
* debiandoc2{dvi,dvips,ps}: Added check for existance of external
programs before calling them (fixes bug #25116) (thanks Adam!)

* Added "set -e" to prerm, postrm and postinst. Fixes Bug #23975.
* Refreshed doc directory from ftp.debian.org.
* Minor fixes here and there, for example, the stable release

jade - James Clark's DSSSL Engine
libsp1 - Runtime library for James Clark's SP suite
libsp1-dev - James Clark's SP suite, developer support
sp - James Clark's SGML parsing tools
jade 1.1.1-2 -> 1.1.1-3 into dists/slink/main/binary-arm/text
libsp1-dev 1.3.1-1.1.1-2 -> 1.3.1-1.1.1-3 into dists/slink/main/binary-arm/devel
libsp1 1.3.1-1.1.1-2 -> 1.3.1-1.1.1-3 into dists/slink/main/binary-arm/libs
sp 1.3.1-1.1.1-2 -> 1.3.1-1.1.1-3 into dists/slink/main/binary-arm/text
jade (1.1.1-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Apply patches for Jadetex July07
http://tug.org/applications/jadetex/jade.patch.july07
http://tug.org/applications/jadetex/jade-newfiles.zip
This incorporates jadetex table support. The jadetex 'aug06' patches
have not been incorporated since this would required jadetex 1.04 or
better.
* libsp1.shlibs: provide library in >= 1.3.1-1.1.1-1, rather than
requiring the exact current version
lg-base - Shared files for the Linux Gazette.
lg-base 29-1 -> 31-1 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/doc
lg-base (31-1) unstable; urgency=low
* new upstream release
lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.7.3 -> 0.7.4 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.7.4) unstable; urgency=low
* (collection/perlmods)
Fixed: perl script scanner is now POD-aware.
This should cut down on the number of spurious warnings.
* (doc/CREDITS)
Install credits file. My apologies if I have forgotten anyone.
There were far more people than I would have guessed -- Thanks to all! :-)
* (checks/perl)
Skip 'autouse' keyword when parsing use and require directives.
* (frontend/lintian)
When processing a .changes file, turn md5sum checks OFF by default.
A new -m flag is provided to turn them back on.
The .dsc file is still always checked.
* (frontend/lintian)
Saner interrupt handling. Lintian now dies immediately if ^C is hit,
and does remove the temporary lab (if any). This is mostly a side
effect of avoiding system() (in favour of the new functions in
lib/pipeline.pl), but did involve some tinkering about with perl's
signal handling. Thanks to Ruud de Rooij and Graydon Hoare for
their help. This closes bug#24975, reported by Yann Dirson.
* (checks/copyright)
Fixed copyright-is-gpl tag so that it actually works.
* (lib/dep.pl, checks/perl, checks/perl.desc, info/perl-modules)
Much smarter perl module analysis. Lintian now has a list of
perl modules and the packages that provide them (in info/perl-modules),
and a dependency processor (in lib/dep.pl), and uses these to
check "use" and "require" lines in perl scripts.
New tags:
W: perl-script-needs-dependency (Experimental)
W: perl-script-uses-unknown-module (Experimental)
Tag "script-needs-full-perl" has been dropped.
lintian - Debian package checker
lintian 0.7.4 -> 0.7.5 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
lintian (0.7.5) unstable; urgency=low
* (checks/perl) Exchanged order of arguments in
perl-script-needs-dependency tag, for clarity.
* (info/perl-modules) Added some module dependencies.
* (info/overrides) More overrides.
* (checks/shared-libs, checks/shared-libs.desc)
Fixed: erroneous shlib-missing-in-control-file if a shared library
had more than one symlink to it.
* Renamed obsolete-shlib-entry-in-control-file to
unused-shlib-entry-in-control-file.
* (checks/copyright-file) Changed size-requirement for copyright-file-is-gpl
tag from 17000 to 12000 bytes, because some packages (casio) extracted
only the "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" part, which is shorter.
* (reporting/html_reports) Count packages as well as tags, in tag index.
* (checks/control-files, checks/control-files.desc)
New tag: W: mknod-in-maintainer-script
* (checks/files, checks/files.desc)
New tags:
W: package-installs-into-etc-rc.boot (rc.boot is obsolete)
W: extra-license-file (for COPYING files, etc)
* (checks/shared-libs, frontend/lintian)
Get rid of dependency on File::Basename; use a simple regexp instead.
