Ouch ! * dselect: Improved selection algorithm to show fewer extraneous packages; improved display for unavailable packages. * dpkg: Improved progress messages during unpacking somewhat. dpkg (0.93.33) BETA; priority=LOW (HIGH for dselect users) * dselect now has a main menu. * Fixed nasty uninitialised data bug in dselect. * dselect now locks and unlocks the packages database. Mon, 27 Mar 1995 03:30:51 BST Ian Jackson * dpkg (0.93.32): Alpha dselect released and installed in /usr/sbin/dselect. * dpkg (0.93.32): Many portability enhancements: should now compile using GCC 2.6.3, and dpkg-deb should compile better on non-Linux systems. * dpkg (0.93.32): dpkg will not loop if its stdin disappears and it needs to prompt. * dpkg (0.93.32): Fixed removal dependency error to show correct package (Bug #648). * dpkg (0.93.32): Tidied up copyright notices. * dpkg (0.93.32): First draft of update-rc.d manpage, not yet installed in /usr/man. * dpkg (0.93.32): Changes to top-level Makefile.in to improve error trapping. * dpkg (0.93.32): Improved Makefile `clean' and `distclean' targets. * dpkg (0.93.32): Deleted irrelevant `t.c' from lib and dselect directories. * dpkg (0.93.32): Added vercmp.c with version comparison code. * dpkg (0.93.32): varbufextend message changed - varbufs not just for input buffers. * dpkg (0.93.32): varbuf has C++ member functions in header #ifdef __cplusplus. Changes in dpkg 0.93.31: * start-stop-daemon --pidfile now works (Bug#571). * Fixed dependency processing bugs which could require a rerun of dpkg --configure (Bug#566). * Fixed garbage output for `language' of control file in dpkg-deb --info. Changes in dpkg 0.93.30: * Added /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon. Changes in dpkg 0.93.29: * Made postinst scripts really be run when dpkg --purge used. * Added new --force-extractfail option - VERY DANGEROUS. Changes in dpkg 0.93.28: * Removed undef of 0x_p21 in read_database_file, which caused the the whole status database to become trashed when any update files were read. * Make infinite-loop prevention and cycle detection work. * Made findbreakcycle work (ie, break properly when cycle detected). * New script, update-rc.d, to update links /etc/rc?.d/[KS]??*. * dpkg.pl now sets the umask to 022. * Cosmetic error message fix to dpkg-deb. * Deleted OLD directory altogether. * Improved error-trapping in top-level Makefile loops. Changes in dpkg 0.93.27: * Make version number specifications in Depends &c work. * Added AC_PROG_CXX to autoconf.in for dselect. * Changed myopt.h not to have cipaction field in cmdinfo (this was specially for dpkg-deb) - now we have a generic void*. * Renamed `class' member of `pkginfoperfile' to `clas' [sic]. * Much work in `dselect' subdirectory. * Deleted executables, objects and libraries from OLD tree ! * Minor changes to various copyright notices and top-of-file comments. * Don't install nasty Perl dselectish thing as /usr/bin/dselect. Changes in dpkg 0.93.26: * Added --no-also-select instead of not auto-selecting on --unpack but doing so on --install; removed --force-unpack-any. Changes in dpkg 0.93.25: * Fixed duplicate output (failure to flush before fork) bug. * More clarification of md5sum.c copyright. * Corrected typo in ChangeLog in 0.93.24 source package. Changes in dpkg 0.93.24: * dpkg could copy conffiles info from one package to another. Aargh. Bug #426. * dpkg failed to initialise status if you tried to remove or configure a nonexistent package. Bug #419. * install-info now handles START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY entries like: * Gdb:: The GNU debugger. Previously it would only accept (Bug #407): * Gdb: (gdb). The GNU debugger. * When installing a new foo.info[.gz], install-info now replaces * Foo: (foo.info). The Gnoo Foo. as well as just * Foo: (foo). ... * Moved option parsing out of dpkg-deb into libdpkg. * Assorted minor source code rearrangements. * Fixed assorted copyright notices, clarified md5sum copyright. * Corrected typo in 0.93.23 source package's ChangeLog. Changes in dpkg 0.93.23: * `dpkg-deb' --build now does a syntax check on the control file. * `dselect' is now no longer called `debian', spurious copy removed from package top-level source directory. * C control information parsing complete and somewhat tested. * Moved `global' include files into $(srcdir)/include from ../lib, added some files to the lib Makefile, and arranged for pop_cleanup(). Changes in dpkg 0.93.22: * Fixed bug which caused dpkg to see failures of md5sum where there were none (would also have caused dpkg to miss a real failure). * Fixed failure to update some `status' database fields. Changes in dpkg 0.93.21: * Fixed error-handling bug which could corrupt database. Changes in dpkg 0.93.20: * Fixed bug which ran old (/var/adm/dpkg) postinst scripts. * Fixed dpkg usage message which claimed -i => both --install & --info. * Use Colin Plumb's MD5 code - faster, and better copyright. * Manpages: dpkg-deb(8), deb-control(5), deb(5) - thanks to Raul Deluth Miller. Also, an xfig picture of some C program innards. Changes in dpkg 0.93.19: * Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database. * Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling. * Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the `dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles. This means that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of /etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead. However, the link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles. * When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't do any prompting but just install the version from the archive. * Corrected error message if exec of dpkg --vextract failed and --instroot or --root specified. * Added new --force-unpack-any option. * Extra newline after --status output. * Added -W options to CFLAGS. * Fixed mistake in previous ChangeLog entry.

Changes in dpkg 0.93.17: * install-info --remove exits with status 0 if it doesn't find the thing to remove, instead of status 1. * Error handling functions have __attribute__((format...)) if GCC. * push_cleanup its arg takes void **argv instead of char **argv. * Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops. * dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages. Changes in dpkg 0.93.16: * Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'. * install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask. * Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail, and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways. * dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with /var/{adm,lib}/dpkg. Should be faster. * Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised. Changes in dpkg 0.93.15: * Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive. * Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib. * Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search. * Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but dpkg-deb not yet updated). * Added --root, --admindir and --instdir, as well as --isok &c. * Moved much stuff into /usr/lib/dpkg-lib.pl, rewritten status database handling. * Put packages in `purge' state even if `deinstall' requested if they have no postrm and no conffiles. * Version number comparisons fixed. * insert-version.pl now installes lib.pl filename too. * Strip trailing slashes when reading files from file lists. Changes in dpkg 0.93.14: * Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace. * postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file. * Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead. * Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles. Changes in dpkg 0.93.13: * sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl. * Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file. * Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call. * New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst. Changes in dpkg 0.93.12: * No longer needs *.ph files, since these appear to be broken. * Postinst fixes up *.control files with curly brackets. * embryo of dselect. Changes in dpkg 0.93.11: * New --ignore-depends option. * This ChangeLog changed format here. Wed Nov 30 15:38:21 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson * dpkg 0.93.11 released. * conffile updating fixed. * Message `updgrade' in dpkg changed to `replace'. * install-info now copes with multi-line entries. * version numbers now done automatically in dpkg and install-info. * more debugging around conffiles updates. * *.hash files not deleted so soon. * adds brand new packages to status array so we can install them. * postinst does h2ph for {sys,linux}/{stat,types}.ph if required. Mon Nov 28 02:00:13 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson * dpkg 0.93.10 released. * dpkg.pl completely rewritten. * dpkg-deb: removed dabase-processing and --install option. * Makefiles reworked, debian.rules added. * Don't install anything in /usr/doc/examples. * dpkg-*.deb contains /usr/bin/dpkg-deb.dist, fixed up by postinst. Thu Oct 20 13:22:20 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * dpkg 0.93.9 released. * dpkg.pl: Use $argument, not $package, with `--build'. Make sure that saved postinst scripts are executable. Tue Oct 18 09:40:57 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * dpkg 0.93.8 released. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir () when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence). Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are removed LAST! This will result in complete removal of packages when --remove is called. dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time. * deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name. Tue Oct 4 12:27:10 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): When a list file cannot be opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem. * deb/util.c (return_info): When a control file cannot be opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem. * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Exit 0 if the regular expression is matched and 1 if it is not. Mon Oct 3 18:38:53 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * dpkg.pl: New file. Replaces dpkg.sh. * deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'. * deb/build.c (pkg_build): `--build' is less verbose, instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate. * deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto. * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto. * deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose, instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate. The ``Description:'' label has been removed. * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose, instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate. The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer information. Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' now reports the version number of dpkg if no argument is specified. Thu Sep 1 13:31:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * dpkg 0.93.7 released. * deb/build.c (pkg_build): check status and exit if non-zero. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): ditto. * deb/install.c (archive_extract): ditto. Thu Sep 1 13:20:08 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * deb/version.c (pkg_version): indent to the same point as pkg_describe. Thu Sep 1 12:21:11 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * Makefile.in (dist): added debian.rules binary, source and dist targets to make final distribution easier to make. (install): install programs to /usr/bin. * deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin. * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters for the package name in the output. (pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for the front-end to parse the output. (pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description with '\0'. * deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to ensure that permissions are preserved. Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * dpkg 0.93.6 released. * deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is true! Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * dpkg 0.93.5 released. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents into function pkg_contents. * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so that symbolic links are recognized. (pkg_contents): print the usual ` -> ' now that we recognize symbolic links. * deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do. Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) * lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed area. (mk_mode_string): ditto. * dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation. * dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during package removal. * dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure. * deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and is a Debian archive before doing anything. * deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and is a Debian archive before doing anything. * deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done. * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that --remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic link never being removed at all. ChangeLog begins Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 for dpkg 0.93.5. Local variables: mode: debian-changelog End:
