Update to 2842t3f1u.
2017-07-11man: Document that dependency fields in binary stanza can have restrictionsGuillem Jover1-0/+3
The architecture specifications and the restriction formulas apply also to the dependency fields in the binary package stanzas in debian/control.
2017-07-11man: Move udeb-specific fields to the end of the list of fieldsGuillem Jover1-11/+12
Mention that these fields are really udeb-specific.

2017-07-11man: Sort control field export markers by tool orderGuillem Jover1-5/+5
First we list source, then binary, then changes.
2017-07-11man: Remove reference to obsolete dpkg-cross(1)Guillem Jover1-2/+1
The dpkg-cross program and its package have been obsolete for some time, it is also unmaintained and bug-ridden with Debian policy violations.
2017-07-11man: Move deb-version man page to section 7Guillem Jover8-13/+15
This man page does not describe a file format, move it to the conventions section.
2017-07-11dpkg-genbuildinfo: Always use the binary version for the .buildinfo filenameGuillem Jover3-5/+5
We should use the binary (instead of the source) version for the .buildinfo filename, otherwise on binNMUs the filename will be wrong. Reported-by: Raphaël Hertzog <hertzog@debian.org>

2017-05-20man: Use command-string instead of command for dpkg-architecture -c argumentGuillem Jover1-3/+3
Using the same name as the name in the SYNOPSIS, or the COMMANDS section seems confusing as it can be understood as the program accepting -c argument values without the -c command option. Reported-by: Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>

2017-05-20man: Document currently accepted syntax for changelogsGuillem Jover2-3/+11
The current implementation supports several comment lines, VCS and editor variable settings which get ignored. In addition, to be able to handle ancient changelog entries, the parser will detect those and ignore while preserving them for output. Closes: #858579 Reviewed-by: G.

2017-05-17libdpkg: Improve tar metadata parsingGuillem Jover1-3/+6
Make the existing octal parser more robust, by checking for the expected format of leading zeros or spaces, followed by any ASCII octal characters (0-7), followed by zero or more space or NULs. Even though POSIX specifies that numerical fields should end with at least one space or NUL, we still support this extension which has been present in other implementations for a long time. Add support for base-256 encoded numeric fields, to support large values, for UID/GID, device number, size and even negative timestamps. This is necessary not only to be able to store larger values, but to cover packages that can already be generated by dpkg-deb, given that it uses the system GNU tar when building. Closes: #850834
2017-05-07build: Use libexec variable for auxiliary internal programsGuillem Jover1-1/+1
Using libdir is wrong, and doubly so when being referred from architecture independent files such as perl modules. This affects non-Debian based systems, which might by default use an arch varying libdir per architecture, for example when using the obsolete multilib layout.

This makes detecting them more difficult, as they become a bunch of false-positives to wade through.

2017-02-26Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Switch PIE handling to have no default (!)Guillem Jover1-1/+1
Delegate the setting to gcc builtin or an explicit request by a user. This is needed to cope with the general PIE brokenness situation in Debian, and the current specific brokenness of a Debian gcc patch mangling the dpkg build flags. This is wrong in so many levels, as we'll have discrepancies between architectures, the interface towards maintainers is inconsistent, and updating the PIE support needs touching and coordinating two places. But it's certainly the current lesser evil. Closes: #848129, #845550
2017-02-26Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Mark more architectures as having gcc builtin PIEGuillem Jover1-2/+3
Specifically kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, sparc and sparc64.
2017-02-26dpkg-genbuildinfo: Declare .buildinfo format as stable with version 1.0Guillem Jover1-1/+1
All the currently planned changes have been done, let's bump the format version to denote a stable format, which will not change in incomatible changes any more without bumping the major version component.

2017-01-29Revert "dpkg-source: Generate Testsuite-Restrictions fields from test ↵Guillem Jover1-7/+0
restrictions" This reverts commit 9899bdcf9bde76d969b124abf0a898fcbb202c70. This change is contentious and should have been discussed more widely. Given that this has been live only for a couple of days, the impact should be minimal, but still something to take into account once and if this gets reintroduced, in the same or different form and shape.

2017-01-28dpkg-buildpackage: Make --unsigned-changes not sign .buildinfo eitherGuillem Jover1-2/+4
There was no option to disable signing globally, so many users and tools rely on the two existing options to disable it. But with the introduction of signed .buildinfo files, there is no way for old tools to request the right thing. Abuse --unsigned-changes to mean not signing .buildinfo either. Closes: #852822
2017-01-28dpkg-buildpackage: Add new --no-sign optionGuillem Jover1-1/+6
This option disables signing any file. This makes this option a future-proof way to disable all signing, in case we add yet more files to sign, so that programs do not have to keep learning what options to pass.
