Changes since last upload:
* New upstream version:
+ no longer links against libmysqlclient_r. (Closes: #825083)
* New maintainer. (Closes: #841528)
* Remove d/dirs: not needed just to create /usr/bin.
* Docs:
+ stop installing upstream TODO (empty file).
+ replace README with README.md (renamed upstream).
+ include doc-base entry for html manual.
* Add get-orig-source target to compensate for upstream not tagging
releases, with a combination of git branch, commit date and hash
used for versioning. Also strips a convenience copy of lua 5.1
from upstream sources.
* Rules:
+ switch to dh sequencer with autoreconf; also avoids issues with
autotools version changes. (Closes: #797260)
+ override dh_auto_configure to enable pgsql database driver.
+ enable all hardening.
* Control:
+ remove build-depends on cdbs, autoconf, automake, and libtool
(switch to dh with autoreconf).
+ replace build-depends on obsolete libmysqlclient-dev and its
alternative libmysqlclient15-dev by default-libmysqlclient-dev.
(Closes: #790475)
+ add build-depends on libaio-dev (asynchronous I/O mode support)
(LP: #1009126), libpq-dev (for the postgresql database driver),
python-cram (to run tests at build time), txt2man (to generate
manpage during build), git (required by d/get-orig-source.sh)
and liblua5.1-0-dev (see get-orig-source and/or patch 01).
+ set upstream homepage to their github page.
+ enhance short description to include mention of focus on database
systems.
+ fix typo in long description.
+ update VCS links.
+ bump Standards-Version to 3.9.8 (from 3.9.5).
* Patches:
+ drop old patch in order to re-enable building html manual.
+ add 01_use_system_lua: make buildsys use system lua headers)
+ add 02_fix_typo: self-explanatory.
+ add 03_dont_install_tests: already run at build time.
+ add 04_force_build_of_html_manual: bypass broken check for
xsltproc to prevent inclusion of an empty html manual.
(Closes: #695377)
* Watch: limit to just comments documenting the lack of releases.
* Remove d/TODO, all done now that postgresql support is builtin.
* Manpage:
+ dump outdated debian/sysbench.xml and recreate based on help
output, eliminating some typos in the process. (Closes: #793428)
+ remove incorrect examples. (Closes: #692822)
+ include options of various test modes. (LP: #1309532)
* Copyright:
+ correct Format URI for machine-readable copyright spec.
+ update all upstream copyright and contact info.
+ add myself as a copyright holder for the packaging.
Regards.
