Description:
dpkg - Package maintenance system for Debian
dpkg-dev - Package building tools for Debian
Changes:
dpkg (1.4.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add support for long filenames, along with --assert-longfilenames
* Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
a different uid when starting a process
* Add mipseb and mipsel to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
both viable names for the mips big endian arch, and mipsel is also needed
* Update dpkg-architecure's archtable
* Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
of the registered alternatives for a specific name
* Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
and uses
* Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor in dselect
* Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
* Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
this is just a documentation fix).
* Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
* Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
* Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
* When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
and continue.
* Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
* Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
already generated anyway
* Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
to libtool itself after running configure
* Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
arch
* Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
different in layout
* Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
* debian/rules: chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
source.
* Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
* When running --configure on an already installed package, just
say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
state
* Fixed some compiler warnings
* Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
borked in the first place
* Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
* Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
* start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
* update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
* dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
changing the diversion registry
* Fix bad regex in update-rc.d
