-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Thu, 25 Nov 1999 04:30:01 +0100
dpkg (1.4.1.19) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix replaces for dpkg-dev
* Add gettext-support to dselect
* Added Czech and Polish translations for dpkg
* Fixed incorrect patch for --print-architecture (oops, oh well
it was already broken when there was no gcc anyway :)
* Fixed missing mipseb that was supposed to be in the archtable
* Better output in update-alternatives --config, now shows the
current, and the prefered choices.
* dpkg-name: ignore epoch when getting version
* 50dpkg-dev.el: add it as a conffile for dpkg-dev
* internals.sgml: Removed references to the versions of build tools,
they date the document.
* debian-changelog-mode.el: added hint for better log-email handling
* Added recognition for new source-depends fields for policy
referenced in bug #41232
* dpkg-buildpackage: add -ap option to force a pause prior to starting
the sign process. This helps for people who don't keep their signatures
on the filesystem (on a floppy perhaps, then mount as needed).
* minor script corrections
* dpkg-dev control: Change gcc to c-compiler in the recommends field, and
move cpio, patch and make to the depends line
* Leave file info intact in available when installing packages. MD5sum,
Filename, and MSDOS-Filename used to get lost when installing a
package.
* Added armv4l to archtable
* Added 'D' to the list of choices for conffile handling, closes: #48137
* Converted internals.sgml to debiandoc format. Also added a dpkg-doc
package that contains the generated output from this file (.ps, .html
and .info), includes doc-base support. Internals.sgml is also not
generated on the binary-arch target, and is no longer "byhand"
* dpkg-gencontrol: add "Source" to the fields placed in the control file
* dpkg-parsechangelog: fixed loop for parsepath (#48526)
* main/{processarc.c,depcon.c}: added new structure for conflictors,
which contains a struct for conflicts. This is used to create an array
of conflicting packages, which are going to be replaced. Allows for
multiple conflicts and replaces. All conflictor handlers were
converted to loops to handle each one (processarc.c).
* dpkg-divert: Fix check for writable filesystem, closes: #48646
-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Sat, 30 Oct 1999 15:14:40 +0200
dpkg (1.4.1.18) unstable; urgency=low
* Backout dep check patch
-- Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> Sat, 23 Oct 1999 00:39:24 -0400
dpkg (1.4.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
* Add support for long filenames, along with --assert-longfilenames
* Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
a different uid when starting a process
* Add mipseb and mipsel to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
both viable names for the mips big endian arch, and mipsel is also needed
* Update dpkg-architecure's archtable
* Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
of the registered alternatives for a specific name
* Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
and uses
* Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor in dselect
* Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
* Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
this is just a documentation fix).
* Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
* Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
* Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
* When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
and continue.
* Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
* Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
already generated anyway
* Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
to libtool itself after running configure
* Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
arch
* Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
different in layout
* Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
* debian/rules: chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
source.
* Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
* When running --configure on an already installed package, just
say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
state
* Fixed some compiler warnings
* Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
borked in the first place
* Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
* Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
* start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
* update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
* dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
changing the diversion registry
* Fix bad regex in update-rc.d
-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Thu, 21 Oct 1999 17:49:03 +0200
dpkg (1.4.1.16) unstable; urgency=medium
* Hardcode ENOENT again since the errno-part of the POSIX module
isn't in perl-*-base. sigh.
-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Fri, 15 Oct 1999 04:01:14 +0200
dpkg (1.4.1.15) unstable; urgency=low
* non-maintainer release.
* Move dselect into its own package
* Remove conffiles before directories when purging
* Check if integrity from other packages will broken when processing
an archive
* dpkg-deb can handle package made with Linux ar.
* Add check to update-alternatives to see if the sequencecode is between
0 and 99
* Fix failed assertion, which was actually two bugs: a logic error in
checkforremoval and a wrong assumption in findbreakcycle
* dselect doesn't die when you resize the terminal
* check if a file is also in a new package before removing it when upgrading
* offer to show a diff between the old and new conffile
* dpkg-scanpackages: don't abort but only skip a package if we can't
open it
* Add HURD-support to start-stop-daemon
* Reinstate patch to not read available when doing --list-files
* Add a couple of --force options to handle changed conffiles
-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Thu, 14 Oct 1999 04:20:56 +0200
dpkg (1.4.1.14) unstable; urgency=low

* Make /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev a symlink to /usr/share/doc/dpkg
* Actually include fix to make update-alternatives works filesystems (oops!)
* Check if codenumber is between 0 and 99, Closes: Bug# 46810

dpkg (1.4.1.11) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer release.

Closes: Bug#45642
-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Fri, 24 Sep 1999 03:23:54 +0200
dpkg (1.4.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer release.

+ use gpg by default if $HOME/.gnupg/secring.gpg exists
-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Thu, 16 Sep 1999 15:36:43 +0200

-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Wed, 15 Sep 1999 03:45:07 +0200
dpkg (1.4.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer release.
* Merge dpkg-doc-ja
* Add patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> for dpkg-scansources
to skip comments in signatures. This allows packages to also use GnuPG.
-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Mon, 13 Sep 1999 04:16:33 +0200
dpkg (1.4.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer release.
* Use /usr/share/doc
* Merge changes from dpkg-iwj tree:
+ change section in dpkg-deb.1 to 1

dpkg (1.4.1.3) unstable; urgency=low

directory that replaces a removed file. This works around the
problem that the filedatabase doesn't remember what filetype a
file was by assuming it already was a directory

dpkg (1.4.0.28) unstable; urgency=low
* Added gpg (GNU Privacy Guard) support:
* scripts/buildpackage.sh: default to GPG (unless no GPG, but only a PGP
secret key file is found), as GPG, unlike PGP, is DFSG-free.
* Updated dpkg-source(1), and added gpg(1) and pgp(1) to the SEE ALSO
section.
* Worked around broken textmode implementation in GPG.
* dpkg-dev now Suggests: gnupg .
* No longer includes developer-keys.pgp . Instead, dpkg now Suggests: and
dpkg-dev now Recommends: developer-keyring.

I redirected STDERR onto fd 0 before calling getlogin().

protect with seek.

* Start using lchown() if available.

dpkg (0.93.64) ALPHA; priority=MEDIUM
* dpkg marks a package as no longer `to be configured in this run'
when an error occurs, so that other packages which depend on it

packages.c:166: failed assertion `dependtry <= 4').
* dselect initial selection granularity is single-package.
* dpkg --no-also-select option renamed to --selected-only (old option
still accepted, but no longer in --help). Changed -N to -O.

- invoke dpkg to configure and remove packages.
There are no installation methods available yet.

Mon, 27 Mar 1995 03:30:51 BST Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>
* dpkg (0.93.32): Alpha dselect released and installed in
/usr/sbin/dselect.
* dpkg (0.93.32): Many portability enhancements: should now

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

* dpkg (0.93.32): varbufextend message changed - varbufs not
just for input buffers.

#ifdef __cplusplus.
Changes in dpkg 0.93.31:
* start-stop-daemon --pidfile now works (Bug#571).

* Added /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon.
Changes in dpkg 0.93.09:
* 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.

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.

not specified.
* Create /var/lib/dpkg/updates.
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.

* 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.

* 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 `<path> -> <link_to>' 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.
