dpkg (1.16.2~wipmultiarch) experimental; urgency=low
3
This is a WIP release, command line interfaces *will* change.
6
* Move <config.h> and <compat.h> to the top of trigdeferred.l to properly
7
use the configured features and compat code.
8
* Honour --disable-nls when the system lacks obstack support, by updating
9
the obstack compat module from gnulib.
10
* Link the libdpkg unit tests with libcompat and libintl, so that systems
11
needing them will compile correctly.
12
* Check for the presence of the strnlen declaration and correctly provide
13
the compat one in case the systems lacks it.
14
* Do not assume existence of paths on the build system in the test suite.
15
* Do not fail to link dselect on MacOS X when using --disable-nls.
16
* Remove versioned coreutils Pre-Depends from dpkg due to the ancient
17
md5sum transition. Reported by Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>.
19
* Change dpkg-architecture to only compute the requested variables. This:
20
- Fixes the bootstrapping problem, as the dpkg build system only needs
21
the host architecture, for which dpkg itself is not required.
22
- Reduces the amount of work performed, including loading and parsing
23
unnecessary table files or calling either of gcc or dpkg programs.
24
* Improve error message in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols when
25
debian/control does not have any package stanza. Closes: #642473
26
Based on a patch by Kyle Willmon <kylewillmon@gmail.com>.
27
* Add Pre-Depends on tar >= 1.23 (satisfied in stable) to dpkg due to it
28
using the ‘--warning=no-timestamp’ option. Closes: #642802
29
* Do not segfault on GNU/Linux when dpkg cannot retrieve the block size
30
for the filesystem containing the info database. LP: #872734
31
* Fix two memory leaks per tar entry in the tar extractor used on unpack.
32
* Mark dpkg and dselect as Multi-Arch foreign.
33
Reported by Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>.
34
* Mark dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl as Multi-Arch foreign. Closes: #648217
35
Thanks to Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>.
36
* Add new deb-origin.5 man page. Closes: #608884
37
Thanks to Matt Kraai <kraai@ftbfs.org>.
38
* Return correct status on start-stop-daemon --status when using --pidfile.
39
* Treat dpkg-deb compression level independently for each backend. This
40
has the effect of changing the current behaviour for level 0 on all
41
compressors except gzip.
42
* Add new dpkg-deb -S option to specify the compression strategy. The only
43
currently supported value is “extreme” for xz. Closes: #647915
44
* Stop using brace expansion to install man pages by using dh_installman
45
instead of dh_install, the former does not abort on empty glob expansion.
46
* Do not use absolute paths for programs in perl and shell code.
47
* Add missing ‘*’ in asprintf() and vasprintf() compat declarations.
48
* Add support for virtual output binary:Summary and db:Status-Abbrev fields.
49
Closes: #192619, #427945
50
* Add support for virtual output source:Package and source:Version fields.
52
* Use a different temporary file per process on libcompat's vsnprintf()
53
function to avoid race conditions from children after fork(3).
54
Reported by Daniel Ruoso <daniel@ruoso.com>. Closes: #655411
55
* Fix start-stop-daemon --exec and --name options on FreeBSD, NetBSD and
56
OpenBSD by swapping the process matching implementations.
57
* Fix start-stop-daemon --name option on GNU/Hurd to match the process name.
58
* Document in more detail the implications of start-stop-daemon matching
59
options. Closes: #367608
60
* Improve and clarify dpkg-shlibdeps superfluous linking warning messages.
61
Based on a patch by Peter Eisentraut <petere@debian.org>. Closes: #656496
64
* Update Dpkg::Shlibs to look into multiarch paths when cross-building
66
* Rewrite architecture.mk with explicit loops instead of duplicating many
67
similar lines. Based on a patch by Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>.
68
* Modify dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-distaddfile to grab a write lock
69
on debian/control before updating debian/files to avoid simultaneous
70
updates. Closes: #642608
71
Add libfile-fcntllock-perl to dpkg-dev's Depends since we use this module
72
to handle the locking.
73
* Update dpkg-gensymbols(1) to clarify that -e accepts shell patterns
74
expansions and not regular expressions. And let dpkg-gensymbols output a
75
warning when a pattern doesn't match any file. Closes: #649248
76
* Add new option "-a <arch>" to dpkg-checkbuilddeps to check build
77
dependencies for another architecture. This is really basic for now since
78
it assumes all build dependencies must be satisfied on the listed
79
architecture. Closes: #648180 Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch.
80
* Error out if a dpkg database .list file is not a regular file. LP: #369898
81
* Fix dpkg-mergechangelogs to not error out on invalid versions.
83
* Fix dpkg-source --commit on "3.0 (quilt)" when an explicit patch file
84
is given with a relative filename. Closes: #652414
85
* Further clarify in dpkg-source(1) the conditions under which it's possible
86
to pass an explicit patch file to dpkg-source --commit.
87
* Add new --query-features command to dpkg-buildflags. Thanks to Kees Cook
88
for the patch. Closes: #651481
89
* Fix description of Multi-Arch in deb-control(5). Closes: #654453
90
Thanks to Jakub Wilk for spotting the mistake.
91
* Drop misleading spaces in deb-symbols(5) in the format description.
92
* Clean up dpkg-architecture(1) dropping useless information and
93
adding a reference to /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk.
94
* Update dpkg-buildpackage to use the "build-arch" (for -B) and
95
"build-indep" (for -A) targets unless "make -qn" says that they do not
96
exist. Closes: #229357
99
* Bump po4a version in Build-Depends to 0.41, since earlier versions do
100
not handle --srcdir correctly. Closes: #644370
103
* Fix a typo in man/dpkg-deb.1.
105
