I am preparing the upload for the new upstream release (it's building right
now, I'll push to git as soon as it finishes).
The changelog entry, so far:
curl (7.22.0-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
.
[ Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan ]
* Add new Uploaders, Ian and Alessandro. (bug #647255)
.
[ Luk Claes ]
* Install lintian overrides with dh_lintian.
* Install all files with dh_install and get rid of dh_installdirs.
.
[ Alessandro Ghedini ]
* New upstream release.
* Bump debhelper compat level to 8.
* debian/control:
- One (Build-)Depends per line.
- Sort (Build-)Depends.
- Remove Build-Depends on binutils
(v2.18 is already in oldstable and it is Build-Essential: yes).
- Build depends on stunnel4 instead of stunnel
(stunnel is just a dummy package).
- Remove duplicate Section field in package curl.
- Add Luk to Uploaders too, sort names.
* debian/patches:
- Update runtests_gdb patch, add DEP3 headers.
- Update gnutls and nss patches, add DEP3 headers.
- Refresh other patches.
- Add DEP3 headers to all the patches.
* Replace dh_clean -k call with dh_prep
(dh_clean -k is deprecated since debhelper 7).
Most of the work was in updating the patches, and I have also cleaned
d/control a bit. There is some more work I'd like to do (e.g. fixing all the
lintian Info tags and updating d/copyright to use DEP5).
I've included the changes from Luk with some modifications, since lintian
was complaining about brace-expansion-in-debhelper-config-file. I've also
restored the html/pdf docs installation to their original paths.
Feel free to comment on the above changes if there is something you don't
like.
Cheers
