2009-03-02Switch to automatically generating the ChangeLog fileGuillem Jover1-16930/+0
Keep the old ChangeLog files as ChangeLog.old, and distribute them. Automatically genereate the ChangeLog from “git log”. And update the information for translators.
2009-03-02Release 1.15.0Guillem Jover1-0/+4
2009-03-02u-a: Fix test suite to use t.tmp from builddir instead of srcdirGuillem Jover1-0/+5
This fixes “make distcheck”, as t.tmp is a read/write directory it has to be used under builddir, which in most cases happens to be the same as srcdir.
2009-03-02u-a: Print an actual error on load open instead of an empty stringGuillem Jover1-0/+5
Otherwise gettext would return the special msgid for the catalog.
2009-03-02u-a: Do not use non-ASCII strings on C localeGuillem Jover1-0/+6
The C locale is supposed to only get ASCII strings, for non-ASCII strings there are things like the en_US or en_GB locales.
2009-03-02Remove remaining references to cleanup-infoGuillem Jover1-0/+5
The build was failing when xgettext was trying to scan the non-existent file scripts/cleanup-info.pl.
2009-02-28update-alternatives: avoid logging useless status changeRaphael Hertzog1-0/+5
2009-02-27dpkg-gensymbols: replace #PACKAGE# in dependency templatesRaphael Hertzog1-0/+11
To better support packages of libraries that have different names between architectures, offer the possibility to not hardcode the package name in the symbols file by using #PACKAGE#. This marker is then substituted by dpkg-gensymbols when the symbols files are installed inside the binary package.
2009-02-27update-alternatives: add new sanity checkRaphael Hertzog1-0/+6
Add one more sanity check verifying that <link> and <path> are different (cf #509667 for a sample).
2009-02-27update-alternatives: add some consistency in the outputRaphael Hertzog1-0/+8
Make sure that all messages that are likely to appear in the output as part of --install and --remove call are identified as coming from update-alternatives. Factorize the logic of output and verbosity in some standard function (info, warning, verbose).
2009-02-27libdpkg: Add support for ustar long names using the prefix fieldGuillem Jover1-0/+7
The ustar format has been supported up to now except for the long names which use the prefix field that needs to be prepended to the name field if non empty. Closes: #474092
2009-02-27libdpkg: Add tar format detection supportGuillem Jover1-0/+9
Recognize old tar, GNU tar and ustar formats. Abort on ustar with non empty Prefix field, as we don't properly handle the long names yet. Failure for PAX archive is already being handled when acting on the typeflag.
2009-02-27libdpkg: Generalize f_boolean by not hardcoding to the essential memberGuillem Jover1-0/+5
Fix the function to use PKGPFIELD to assign to the correct struct member instead of directly assigning to the essential member. This also makes this function match its write counterpart w_booleandefno's generic behaviour.
2009-02-27libdpkg: Do nothing when parsing a boolean field with an empty stringGuillem Jover1-0/+4
The field should have been already initialized to 0 by blankpackageperfile, so no need to assign again.
2009-02-26ChangeLog police on early morning shiftGuillem Jover1-5/+5
2009-02-26s-s-d: Support setting the IO scheduler class and priorityChris Coulson1-0/+23
Add new option -I, --iosched <class[:priority]>. Closes: #443535 Signed-off-by: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
2009-02-26dpkg: Add progress reporting while reading the file list databaseGuillem Jover1-0/+9
Reading the files database can take a while on machines with slow disks and an empty cache. To make the wait more tolerable try to display a progress indicator if the output is a terminal. Based-on-patch-by: Romain Francoise <rfrancoise@debian.org>
2009-02-26libdpkg: Add progress reporting supportGuillem Jover1-0/+8
Initial support to report progress from dpkg. For now it only changes behaviour if printing on a tty, later on it could be made pluggable so that external applications can monitor the internal progress on expensive dpkg actions. Based-on-patch-by: Romain Francoise <rfrancoise@debian.org>
2009-02-22update-alternatives: add --log optionRaphael Hertzog1-0/+10
This option overrides the default log file /var/log/dpkg.log. It is needed to make the update-alternatives test-suite succeed when run with fakeroot because without override the test-suite would try to write to /var/log/dpkg.log and fail. Hence adjust the test-suite accordingly.
2009-02-22update-alternatives: don't replace real files by alternative links without ↵Raphael Hertzog1-0/+12
--force update-alternatives should not replace real files by symlinks. When --install is called, the alternative link should either not exist or already be a link. It that's not the case, it will simply skip installing that link and display a warning. However if --force is given, it will (try to) replace the file. Ensure that behaviour within the test suite.
2009-02-22update-alternatives: --all can be used to restore broken alternativesRaphael Hertzog1-0/+9
Since alternatives are repaired every time they are reconfigured, the user can use --all to reconfigure them all with the current choice and repair everything. Document this in the manual pages and ensure that it really works that way by returning a valid choice. Closes: #250258, #395556
2009-02-22update-alternatives: new option --set-selectionsRaphael Hertzog1-0/+10
The option --set-selections is the counterpart of --get-selections, it reads configuration on standard input and reconfigures alternatives accordingly.
2009-02-22update-alternatives: add new option --get-selectionsRaphael Hertzog1-0/+7
The new option list all master alternatives and their status in a format simple to parse. It's also a practical way to know the name of all available alternatives. Closes: #273406, #392429
2009-02-22update-alternatives: skip slave link if associated file doesn't existRaphael Hertzog1-0/+9
All slave links are optional in the sense that they are only installed if the currently associated file does exist. This allows most update-alternatives call to succeed even if the admin removed documentation files or other optional files. Closes: #143701 A message is still displayed by default in this case to warn the user that something uncommon has been detected. Adjusted the test suite to verify this behaviour.
2009-02-22update-alternatives: add more checks on --install parametersRaphael Hertzog1-0/+9
Check that links and alternative paths are absolute. Check that the master alternative path exists. Forbid "/" and spaces in alternative names. Closes: #423176 Add corresponding tests in the test-suite.
2009-02-22update-alternatives: stricter validation of --install parametersRaphael Hertzog1-0/+8
Fail if --install tries to reuse links owned by other alternatives, or if the alternative type (slave/master) doesn't match the information already available. Closes: #342566 Modify test-suite to verify this behaviour.
2009-02-22update-alternatives: add logging to /var/log/dpkg.logRaphael Hertzog1-0/+5
Add logging statements in update-alternatives for all calls that can modify the status of the link group. Also log explicitely alternative removal, auto-reparation and update. Closes: #445270
2009-02-22update-alternatives(8): adjust vocabulary usedRaphael Hertzog1-0/+8
The vocabulary used was misleading and not really uniform. Try to standardize and make it match with the vocabulary used in the source code too. Includes minor fixes to make it match the behaviour of the current implementation.
2009-02-22update-alternatives: complete rewriteRaphael Hertzog1-0/+9
Full rewrite of update-alternatives. It was badly needed so that we can actually understand its behaviour and implement new features on top of it. This commit doesn't add any new feature but still improves the behaviour of --config: it has a nicer output (with choices sorted alphabetically, closes: #437060) and it accepts a path as well as the index of the choice (to make it easier to write non regression tests for this action). The test-suite is adjusted accordingly.
2009-02-22dpkg-gencontrol, dpkg-gensymbols: reset umask to 0022Raphael Hertzog1-0/+6
Reset umask to 0022 to ensure that files created in the DEBIAN directory have sane permissions. Closes: #516481
2009-02-13Remove bogus comment about '--yet-to-unpack'Guillem Jover1-0/+4
2009-02-11Remove cleanup-info and its associated manual pageRaphael Hertzog1-0/+6
* scripts/Makefile.am: Drop cleanup-info.pl script. * man/Makefile.am, man/po/po4a.cfg: Drop cleanup-info(8) manual page. * README.feature-removal-schedule: Update information accordingly.
2009-02-11Move update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride to /usr/binRaphael Hertzog1-0/+8
* scripts/Makefile.am: Move update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride to /usr/bin as they can be useful to users since they have --display or --list options that do not require administrative rights. * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add debian/dpkg.links
2009-02-11dpkg-buildpackage: new option to call arbitrary debian/rules targetsRaphael Hertzog1-0/+9
* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: Add new option --target/-T to allow a specific debian/rules target to be run. The new --as-root option forces the target to be run with root rights. Add support for the two common syntaxes for long options ("--admindir=…" and "--admindir …"). * man/dpkg-buildpackage.1: Update documentation accordingly.
2009-02-11dpkg-buildpackage(1): Fix name of binary target in default caseRaphael Hertzog1-0/+5
2009-02-11dpkg: Rename assert_version_support argument verrev_buf to versionGuillem Jover1-0/+5
2009-02-11dpkg: Print correct feature name on --assert-* failuresGuillem Jover1-0/+6
2009-02-11dpkg: Pass fully constructed versions to assert_version_supportGuillem Jover1-0/+11
Remove the missplaced version constructor from inside assert_version_support, and instead just pass an already initialized structure. This also allows making the version structures non-static.
2009-02-11dpkg: Rename assertversion to assert_version_supportGuillem Jover1-0/+5
2009-02-09Add non-regression test-suite for update-alternativesRaphael Hertzog1-0/+6
* scripts/t/900_update_alternatives.t: New test-suite for update-alternatives. * scripts/Makefile.am: Add the previous file.
2009-02-09update-alternatives: ignore empty files in the admin dirRaphael Hertzog1-0/+5
* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Deal with empty files in the administrative directory by ignoring them.
2009-02-09update-alternatives: switch non-existant alternative to autoRaphael Hertzog1-0/+5
* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Ensure that a non-existant alternative result in automatic mode configuration.
2009-02-09update-alternatives: let --install fix links if necessaryRaphael Hertzog1-0/+8
* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Change set_links() to also reset the main alternative link. Add a parameter to make it quiet. When --install reinstalls the current and manually selected entry, let it recreate the symlinks in case something has gone wrong.
2009-02-09update-alternatives: remove the link group together with last alternativeRaphael Hertzog1-0/+8
* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Remove the link group when the last choice is removed, even if we are in manual mode. * man/update-alternatives.8: Update the documentation accordingly to not be as strong about not touching links in manual mode.
2009-02-09update-alternatives: remove unneeded slavelinks in --set/--config tooRaphael Hertzog1-0/+7
* scripts/update-alternatives.pl (set_links): Remove slavelinks if needed as well. We create slave links automatically, we should remove them in the same way. Otherwise --config or --set will let dangling symlinks on the system.
2009-02-08libdpkg: Remove unused function ohshitvbGuillem Jover1-0/+5
2009-02-06man: Document in detail the currently supported deb formatGuillem Jover1-0/+5
Ar member names, types of tar archives and data.tar members.
2009-02-06Add kopensolaris support to ostable and triplettableGuillem Jover1-0/+5
Closes: #509312
2009-02-06ostable: Reindent to make room for longer os namesGuillem Jover1-0/+4
2009-02-05update-alternatives: better handle missing filesRaphael Hertzog1-0/+5
* scripts/update-alternatives.pl (rename_mv): Integrate logic to not fail if ENOENT is the reason why the rename failed. The underlying problem in the previous implementation is not immediately obvious but rename() can fail for multiple reasons at the same time. In #99870 we have a case where rename() fails with EXDEV and the system("mv",…) call fails due to ENOENT. In that case, rename_mv() fails but the check $! == ENOENT also fails when in fact it should not because ENOENT is really the reason why rename_mv() failed. Verifying the existence of the source file first is a sanity check that avoids running mv when we know that it's going to fail and clutter the screen with an undesired error message.
