2016-07-03	man, perl: Remove most AUTHOR sections	Guillem Jover	1	-4/+0
	These are strongly discouraged by the man-pages project, because they are redundant with the copyright notices, and tend to get out-of-sync. In addition their format is inconsitent. Just remove them in the same way we did for man pages in the past.
2015-07-28	Dpkg: Remove my keyword from POD function prototypes	Guillem Jover	1	-3/+3

2015-05-18	scripts: Document dpkg version when module versions got bumped	Guillem Jover	1	-1/+1
	This has two purposes, first it will make it easier to know if the module version needs to be bumped for the current development release, and second it will make it easier for users to know how "old" that module version is, and to which dpkg series and specific version it corresponds to.
2015-01-28	Dpkg: Use shift instead of @_ on single argument unpacking	Guillem Jover	1	-2/+2

2015-01-28	scripts: Rename and deprecate _g function with g_	Guillem Jover	1	-3/+3
	The old function name was inconsistent with the other gettext family of short aliases which has already caused some code typos, and functions starting with underscore are considered by convention private in Perl.
2014-10-12	scripts: Document all public module versions in a CHANGES section	Guillem Jover	1	-0/+6
	This makes it clear what is the current version of the module, and that it is a public interface.
2014-10-06	scripts: Unpack arguments just once	Guillem Jover	1	-4/+6
	Addresses Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking. Warned-by: perlcritic
2014-10-06	scripts: Use named variables instead of using the topic variable	Guillem Jover	1	-3/+3
	Switch code that uses roughly more explicit instances of the topic variable than implicit ones. Addresses BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitUselessTopic. Warned-by: perlcritic
2014-08-09	scripts: Use //= instead of \|\|= when appropriate	Guillem Jover	1	-1/+1
	Replace only safe usages, i.e. those that fallback on initialization values that evaluate to false anyway. Or when the API is explicit about the variable being undefined.
2013-12-07	Use https:// URLs instead of http:// when possible	Guillem Jover	1	-1/+1

2013-12-04	scripts: Use croak instead of internerr on programming errors in modules	Guillem Jover	1	-2/+4
	Remove now unused internerr() function, replaced by croak which does a way better job. Addresses ErrorHandling::RequireCarping. Warned-by: perlcritic
2013-05-04	Do not use double-quotes on strings that do not need interpolation	Guillem Jover	1	-10/+10
	Using double-quotes imposes a small performance penalty as the perl parser needs to check if any interpolation is needed. Use double-quotes only when the string contains single-quotes. Ideally we'd use double-quotes too for escaped meta-characters that might otherwise be confusing to immediately see if they need interpolation or not, but the policy does not (currently) allow to ignore these. Fixes ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitInterpolationOfLiterals. Warned-by: perlcritic
2013-04-30	Do not quote simple identifier hash keys in element accesses	Guillem Jover	1	-22/+22
	Addresses ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitInterpolationOfLiterals. Warned-by: perlcritic
2010-02-26	Update POD documentation to indicate that it's using UTF-8 encoding	Raphaël Hertzog	1	-0/+2
	Also fix many spelling errors spotted by lintian.
2010-02-25	libdpkg-perl: Make comp_prog and decomp_prog %COMP properties arrays	Guillem Jover	1	-2/+2
	This will allow storing arguments alongside the command names themselves.
2010-02-21	Add $VERSION numbers to all perl modules	Raphaël Hertzog	1	-0/+2
	Modules whose API should be stable have a version 1.00. The modules with version 0.01 are expected to have further API changes in the (near) future or are deemed to be useful mostly for dpkg-dev's internal usage.
2010-02-19	libdpkg-perl: Rename Dpkg::IPC::fork_and_exec() to Dpkg::IPC::spawn()	Guillem Jover	1	-4/+4

2010-01-22	Dpkg::Compression::Process: add POD documentation	Raphaël Hertzog	1	-4/+92

2010-01-22	Rename Dpkg::Compression::CompressedFile and Dpkg::Compression::Compressor	Raphaël Hertzog	1	-0/+113
	Dpkg::Compression::CompressedFile -> Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle Dpkg::Compression::Compressor -> Dpkg::Compression::Process The new names are more expressive and avoid repeating "Compress". Update all scripts and modules to use the new name.
