OK, another pair of quite extensive updates to dpkg-cross and
emdebian-tools. I've decided to put these in separate emails.
emdebian-tools - Two new packages - emdebian-tdeb and emdebian-grip.
Both are likely to migrate into other source packages during the
development of Squeeze - possibly both into dpkg-dev.
emdebian-grip contains emgrip that is built from dpkg-cross code. Only
installed into /usr/share/emdebian-tools at this stage because it is
largely untested (and functionally incomplete with regard to
translations) but maybe handy to some people. Translation support will
depend on TDeb development elsewhere. There is no manpage but there is
POD content that can be converted to a manpage using pod2man.
emdebian-tdeb contains em_installtdeb from emdebian-tools (with a
suitable Replaces:) and a new script, dpkg-gentdeb that tries to
implement Debian TDebs inside a normal Debian build. There is no manpage
for dpkg-gentdeb but there is POD content that can be converted to a
manpage using pod2man. As with emgrip, dpkg-gentdeb is packaged
in /usr/share/emdebian-tools/ pending other developments.
I'm releasing these now because I need to continue working on the other
developments that will happen around them. It is looking unlikely that
Lenny will be released in time to allow emdebian-grip to be uploaded and
get through NEW before the Debian QA meeting in Extremadura in
November. :-(

emdebian-tools (1.4.11) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Interim Emdebian release
* bug/embug_report : Check that the 'Closes' bug is assigned to the
right package: buildd.emdebian.org only.
* bug/embug : fix problems with lists of bugs for one package
* bug/embug : switch to buildd.emdebian.org psuedo-package instead of
using usertags
* bash/emdebian-tools : add embug_report bash completion
* bug/embug : add convenience wrapper for embug_report from embug --
report
* Emdebian/Tools.pm : ignore more generated debhelper log files in
debian/
* Migrate gccross from dpkg-cross to emdebian-tools for easier
migration of dpkg-cross into dpkg-dev and improved support for
removing the need for gccross itself
* em_installtdeb : Fix support for .tdeb without needing changes in
dpkg. Some workarounds for reprepro will be needed.
* qa/embritney : add support for packages using epochs
* checks/emdebian : Refine the i386 handling, not just for amd64/ie86
but for native i386 builds
* Package history.php in emdebian-qa
* buildd/buildd.php : keep the architecture in the link for
consistency
* Allow setting the template file for header and footer content via
config.php
* emsource : Move the warning about out of date changelog patches,
which are handled automatically anyway, to verbose mode only.
* Emdebian/Tools.pm : get_config - simplified, tools_version converted
to dpkg-query
* emdebuild : avoid installing -cross packages in native builds
* buildd/buildd.php buildd/history.php : Handle errors from servers
with limited available memory but large log files
* emgrip : experimental script to repack archives for Emdebian Grip
* qa/embritney : support + in package names
* em_installtdeb : omit PO files in man/ from the TDeb, leave in the
TDeb source
* Add two new packages: emdebian-grip (containing emgrip) and
emdebian-tdeb for TDeb support in Debian and Emdebian.
