Description:
alien - Install Red Hat, Stampede, and Slackware Packages with dpkg.
Changes:
alien (6.09) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Added a short document on how to generate a diff file for use by alien.
* Fixed a security hole in alien generated rpm files that had scripts in
them, that could allow a user to clobber files on the filesystem. Any
such alien generated rpm files currently in existence already contain
this bug, so be careful with them. Such files should be rare, they have
to be generated by "alien --to-rpm --scripts".
* That bug is even less likely, becuase it turns out --scripts has been
broken since alien version 6.0. Oops. Fixed.
* --single and --description were also broken since 6.0, and are fixed
now.
* It used to be that only shell scripts could be converted to rpm format,
because of a stupid bug. Fixed.
* There has been a change in how rpm outputs the file list for a
relocatable package - it used to strip the prefix from each filename,
and I could get at it in the DEFAULTPREFIX tag. Now it doesn't, and that
tag doesn't exist. The only change I actually had to make was to make
alien send rpm's error about DEFAULTPREFIX not being a valid tag to
/dev/null. All the code for dealing with DEFAULTPREFIX has been left in,
for backwards compatability.
