2019-11-26man: Move template symbol documentation into new deb-src-symbols(5)Guillem Jover4-306/+363
Having the template symbols file format described in the dpkg-gensymbols has been a continuous source of confusion for users, and makes discovering it more difficult. Move it to its own man page, and link to it from the various relevant man pages.
2019-11-26man: Describe the SONAME formats supported in deb-shlibsGuillem Jover1-2/+12
2019-11-26dpkg: Use DPKG_ADMINDIR to set the admindirGuillem Jover1-0/+5
This was done in the name of security, but it does not make much sense as root should make sure to be running in a clean environment. This is problematic as it makes the interface hard to understand, and produces unexpected behavior as dpkg can be called from within itself, or as a wrapper for dpkg-query, which will then not inherit the admindir value. Closes: #900071
2019-11-26dpkg: Fix and clarify behavior for packages marked to be on “hold”Guillem Jover1-3/+7
A package marked to be on hold, denotes that the package should be kept in its current version and should not be automatically installed, upgraded or removed. The same applies to frontends. This behavior does not apply when the user explicitly requested one of these actions, or the --force-hold option is used. It should never prevent dpkg from processing these for configuration (if they were already in unpacked state) or from trigger processing, otherwise we might get into trigger loops. Some of the code was already doing this, but this was not consistently done. We update also the help output and documentation to clarify the fixed behavior. Closes: #926472
2019-11-26dpkg-gencontrol: Take hardlinks into account when computing Installed-SizeSven Joachim1-0/+1
We should not add up the size of each hardlink into the final sum, otherwise we will get a size in excess. Closes: #923475 Co-Authored-by: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>

Update to 3000t.
2019-10-30man: Split dselect(1) --color from --colour option itemsGuillem Jover4-10/+30
These become too long to fit in a 80-char terminal for many translations, so let's split them, as we do anyway for the preferred formatting to avoid the mandb warning.
2019-10-30man: Globally adjust left and disable hyphenationGuillem Jover55-13/+56
These were being applied in the SEE ALSO section, but not consistently. The output is more clear this way.

2019-10-30man: Use a minus sign for a literal stringGuillem Jover1-1/+1
2019-10-12scripts: Remove support for versioned GnuPG 2 program and packagesGuillem Jover1-4/+3
The current default in Debian and anywhere else is to use unversioned GnuPG 2.x binaries, so there's no need anymore to try these first or at all.
2019-10-12dpkg-shlibdeps: Add support for new Build-Depends-PackagesGuillem Jover1-0/+7
This makes it possible to specify more than one package, which might be needed during transition periods for example. Closes: #926669 Based-on-patch-by: Frank Schaefer <kelledin@gmail.com>
2019-10-12dpkg-genbuildinfo: Do not include irrelevant packages in the Binary fieldGuillem Jover1-1/+2
This change is the companion to the one in dpkg-genchanges that lists only relevant packages, instead of all the ones listed in debian/control, but for the .buildinfo file instead of the .changes file.

2019-03-24Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Change default build option style to -saGuillem Jover1-1/+1
Using -sA by default means the user might lose data on overwrite if there is already a directory with the same name laying around. Closes: #910737

Closes: #922407
2019-02-23dpkg: Add new option --refuse-security-mac to control SELinuxGuillem Jover2-0/+10
This new option works in both dpkg and dpkg-statoverride. And dpkg will pass it to its children, which means dpkg-statoverride called from a maintainer script will automatically pick it up. Ref: #811037
2019-02-23dpkg-statoverride: Switch from --force option to new --force-<thing> optionsGuillem Jover2-0/+14
Deprecate --force option which will be considered an alias for --force-all for now.
