2018-03-25	deb-src-control(5): Document the Testsuite and Testsuite-Triggers fields	Guillem Jover	1	-0/+9
	Prompted-by: Mattia Rizzolo <mattia@debian.org> (on IRC)
2017-10-12	scripts: Add support for source package Description and substvars	Guillem Jover	1	-0/+11
	We support a new source package Description field in debian/control that will be copied into the .dsc file. The field will also be used to initialize the new source:Synopsis and source:Extended-Description substvars that will be available when generating the DEBIAN/control and .changes files. Closes: #555743
2017-09-24	dpkg-buildpackage: Add support for rootless builds	Guillem Jover	1	-0/+33
	Implement the rootless-builds specification, by honoring the Rules-Requires-Root (R³) field.
2017-09-07	man: Document trailing commas as valid in debian/control dependency fields	Guillem Jover	1	-5/+10
	For any dependency field found on debian/control, trailing commas are accepted and eliminated when generating the binary control files. So that things like substvars can be used at the end of the list even if they produce no output. Prompted-by: Mattia Rizzolo <mattia@debian.org>
2017-07-11	Add missing quote sign	Helge Kreutzmann	1	-1/+1

2017-07-11	man: Document that dependency fields in binary stanza can have restrictions	Guillem Jover	1	-0/+3
	The architecture specifications and the restriction formulas apply also to the dependency fields in the binary package stanzas in debian/control.
2017-07-11	man: Move udeb-specific fields to the end of the list of fields	Guillem Jover	1	-11/+12
	Mention that these fields are really udeb-specific.

2017-07-11	man: Sort control field export markers by tool order	Guillem Jover	1	-5/+5
	First we list source, then binary, then changes.
2017-07-11	man: Move deb-version man page to section 7	Guillem Jover	1	-1/+1
	This man page does not describe a file format, move it to the conventions section.
2016-11-06	man: Use "dpkg suite" as the manual item in .TH macro	Guillem Jover	1	-1/+1

2016-10-30	man: Disable hyphenation globally	Guillem Jover	1	-1/+2
	Instead of marking specific words as not hyphenable, depending on the width of the output, which should not be considered stable. Or simply the SEE ALSO section. Just disable hyphenation globally for the whole man page.
2016-10-30	man: Switch from groff escape sequences to UTF-8	Guillem Jover	1	-15/+15
	This will make writting and translating the man pages easier.
2016-10-30	man: Generate the man pages at build time	Guillem Jover	1	-0/+421
	This makes it possible to filter them and update several variable strings such as system and package pathnames, the release date and the dpkg suite version. And will make it possible to use UTF-8 in the source and convert to the more conservative groff escape sequences on the output.
