Changes:
dpkg (1.16.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Move <config.h> and <compat.h> to the top of trigdeferred.l to properly
use the configured features and compat code.
* Honour --disable-nls when the system lacks obstack support, by updating
the obstack compat module from gnulib.
* Link the libdpkg unit tests with libcompat and libintl, so that systems
needing them will compile correctly.
* Check for the presence of the strnlen declaration and correctly provide
the compat one in case the systems lacks it.
* Do not assume existence of paths on the build system in the test suite.
* Do not fail to link dselect on MacOS X when using --disable-nls.
* Remove versioned coreutils Pre-Depends from dpkg due to the ancient
md5sum transition. Reported by Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>.
Closes: #643746
* Change dpkg-architecture to only compute the requested variables. This:
- Fixes the bootstrapping problem, as the dpkg build system only needs
the host architecture, for which dpkg itself is not required.
- Reduces the amount of work performed, including loading and parsing
unnecessary table files or calling either of gcc or dpkg programs.
* Improve error message in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols when
debian/control does not have any package stanza. Closes: #642473
Based on a patch by Kyle Willmon <kylewillmon@gmail.com>.
* Add Pre-Depends on tar >= 1.23 (satisfied in stable) to dpkg due to it
using the ‘--warning=no-timestamp’ option. Closes: #642802
* Do not segfault on GNU/Linux when dpkg cannot retrieve the block size
for the filesystem containing the info database. LP: #872734
* Fix two memory leaks per tar entry in the tar extractor used on unpack.
* Mark dpkg and dselect as Multi-Arch foreign.
Reported by Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>.
* Mark dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl as Multi-Arch foreign. Closes: #648217
Thanks to Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>.
* Add new deb-origin.5 man page. Closes: #608884
Thanks to Matt Kraai <kraai@ftbfs.org>.
* Return correct status on start-stop-daemon --status when using --pidfile.
* Treat dpkg-deb compression level independently for each backend. This
has the effect of changing the current behaviour for level 0 on all
compressors except gzip.
* Add new dpkg-deb -S option to specify the compression strategy. The only
currently supported value is “extreme” for xz. Closes: #647915
* Stop using brace expansion to install man pages by using dh_installman
instead of dh_install, the former does not abort on empty glob expansion.
* Do not use absolute paths for programs in perl and shell code.
* Add missing ‘*’ in asprintf() and vasprintf() compat declarations.
* Add support for virtual output binary:Summary and db:Status-Abbrev fields.
Closes: #192619, #427945
* Add support for virtual output source:Package and source:Version fields.
Closes: #653575
* Use a different temporary file per process on libcompat's vsnprintf()
function to avoid race conditions from children after fork(3).
Reported by Daniel Ruoso <daniel@ruoso.com>. Closes: #655411
* Fix start-stop-daemon --exec and --name options on FreeBSD, NetBSD and
OpenBSD by swapping the process matching implementations.
* Fix start-stop-daemon --name option on GNU/Hurd to match the process name.
* Document in more detail the implications of start-stop-daemon matching
options. Closes: #367608
* Improve and clarify dpkg-shlibdeps superfluous linking warning messages.
Based on a patch by Peter Eisentraut <petere@debian.org>. Closes: #656496
* Relax --merge-avail Packages file parser, to not fail on bogus versions.
* When building only arch-indep binaries with «dpkg-buildpackage -A», name
the .changes file using ‘all’ as architecture. Closes: #661638
* Handle unknown architectures gracefully in dpkg-buildflags.
Closes: #663004
* Add missing --status-logger to dpkg --help output.
* Do not print bogus errno string for invalid package names in dpkg
--ignore-depends option.
* Change dpkg-query to not load the available file by default for --list
and --show, add a new --load-avail option to expose the old behaviour.
* Only allow setting selections via «dpkg --set-selections» for known
packages (i.e. those present in either the status or available files).
* Always ignore older versions when parsing the available file, not only
for --update-avail and --merge-avail.
* Mark not-installed non-arch-qualified selections for removal.
* Add new «dpkg --assert-multi-arch» command to allow checking for
multi-arch support availability.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3 (no changes needed).
* Add architecture consistency checks to «dpkg --audit».
* Add new dpkg --add-architecture and --remove-architecture commands to
track supported architectures.
.
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Update Dpkg::Shlibs to look into multiarch paths when cross-building
too. Closes: #595144
* Rewrite architecture.mk with explicit loops instead of duplicating many
similar lines. Based on a patch by Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>.
* Modify dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-distaddfile to grab a write lock
on debian/control before updating debian/files to avoid simultaneous
updates. Closes: #642608
Add libfile-fcntllock-perl to dpkg-dev's Depends since we use this module
to handle the locking.
* Update dpkg-gensymbols(1) to clarify that -e accepts shell patterns
expansions and not regular expressions. And let dpkg-gensymbols output a
warning when a pattern doesn't match any file. Closes: #649248
* Add new option "-a <arch>" to dpkg-checkbuilddeps to check build
dependencies for another architecture. This is really basic for now since
it assumes all build dependencies must be satisfied on the listed
architecture. Closes: #648180 Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch.
* Error out if a dpkg database .list file is not a regular file. LP: #369898
* Fix dpkg-mergechangelogs to not error out on invalid versions.
Closes: #651993
* Fix dpkg-source --commit on "3.0 (quilt)" when an explicit patch file
is given with a relative filename. Closes: #652414
* Further clarify in dpkg-source(1) the conditions under which it's possible
to pass an explicit patch file to dpkg-source --commit.
* Add new --query-features command to dpkg-buildflags. Thanks to Kees Cook
for the patch. Closes: #651481
* Fix description of Multi-Arch in deb-control(5). Closes: #654453
Thanks to Jakub Wilk for spotting the mistake.
* Drop misleading spaces in deb-symbols(5) in the format description.
* Clean up dpkg-architecture(1) dropping useless information and
adding a reference to /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk.
* Update dpkg-buildpackage to use the "build-arch" (for -B) and
"build-indep" (for -A) targets unless "make -qn" says that they do not
exist. Closes: #229357
* Improve deb-shlibs(5) to mention that the dependency field must
use the same syntax than a Depends field. Closes: #658696
* Update dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) to recommend usage of the version
removing/renaming a conffile with a "~" suffix as "priorversion"
parameter. Thanks to Sam Morris <sam@robots.org.uk> for the patch.
Closes: #658854
* Fix debug output of dpkg-maintscript-helper. LP: #936340
.
[ Jonathan Nieder ]
* Bump po4a version in Build-Depends to 0.41, since earlier versions do
not handle --srcdir correctly. Closes: #644370
.
[ Guillem Jover, Steve Langasek, Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Add new dpkg --print-foreign-architectures command.
* Add support for virtual output binary:Package field.
* Implement Multi-Arch support.
.
