[ Raphaël Hertzog ] * debian/control: Add the accent on my first name. * Perl API cleanup: - rename Dpkg::Deps dump() methods into output([$fh]), overload string representation ("$dep") to provide the result of $dep->output() - prefix public functions in Dpkg::Deps with deps_ and export them by default - rename Dpkg::Source::Compressor in Dpkg::Compression::Process - rename Dpkg::Source::CompressedFile in Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle and completely redesign its API - update Dpkg::Compression's API to use compression_* functions instead of granting direct access to variables, integrate there management of default compression - introduce Dpkg::Interface::Storable and update many modules to make use of it - update Dpkg::BuildOptions to provide an object-oriented interface - update Dpkg::Checksums to provide an object-oriented interface * Drop debian-maintainers from Suggests since it's obsolete, the corresponding keyring is in debian-keyring. * Merge support of symbol patterns in dpkg-gensymbols. Thanks to Modestas Vainius for his work (see further for more details). * Accept filename with spaces and colon in the output of objdump. Required so that dpkg-shlibdeps support such files properly. Thanks to Raphaël Geissert for the patch. Closes: #565712 * When unpacking a "3.0 (quilt)" source package, tell quilt where patches are (to be) stored. Requires quilt >= 0.48-5 to work. Closes: #557619 * Fix update-alternatives to not try to reinstall an unknown alternative when the link group is broken, instead switch to the best choice in automatic mode. Closes: #566406 * Don't return duplicate bug numbers in Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed:. Thanks to Brian Murray for the report and the patch. Closes: #569618 * Add $VERSION numbers to all perl modules. Closes: #465256 1.00 and higher means that the API should be stable * While parsing diff's output, accept any sentence that contains the word differ (as specified by POSIX) to identify that binary files could not be compared. Closes: #570008 * dpkg-gencontrol does no longer accept arch-specific dependencies in arch: all packages. Closes: #560071 * dpkg-gencontrol no longer warns if a substitution variable provided by -V is not used (the warning is meant to catch unused substitutions coming from the file, those are package specific with debhelper). Closes: #557133 * dpkg-gencontrol now indicates which package is concerned by the substvars warning that it displays. Closes: #566837 * dpkg-buildpackage now supports options --source-option= and --changes-option= to forward arbitrary options to dpkg-source and dpkg-genchanges respectively. Closes: #566230 * The -T option of dpkg-{source,gencontrol,genchanges} can now be used multiple times to read substitution variables from multiple files. Closes: #363323 * dpkg-source now supports an option --create-empty-orig in formats "2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)" to auto-create the main original tarball when there are supplementary tarballs. This makes it easier to bundle multiple software together. Closes: #554488 * dpkg-source supports long option names --diff-ignore and --tar-ignore for -i and -I. A new option --extend-diff-ignore is introduced. Those options can thus now be used in debian/source/options. * Generate manual pages for perl modules. * Introduce the libdpkg-perl package and clarify its status in README.api. * Update Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes needed). * Drop unused lintian override for arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share on dselect. * The rewritten Dpkg::Checksums deals properly with filenames with spaces. Closes: #572030 * dpkg-source does no longer fallback to other source formats if the requested one is not usable. Closes: #557459 * Modify dpkg-source to error out when it would apply patches containing insecure paths (with "/../") and also error out when it would apply a patch through a symlink. Those checks are required as patch will happily modify files outside of the target directory and unpacking a source package should not be able to have any side-effect outside of the target directory. * Also error out when the quilt series contains a path with "/../" as this can cause patch to create files outside of the source package due to the -B .pc/$path option that it gets. . [ Guillem Jover ] * Handle argument parsing in dpkg-checkbuilddeps and dpkg-scanpackages in a way consistent with the rest of the tools. * Recognize --help in addition to -h in dpkg-checkbuilddeps. * Add a --version option to dpkg-checkbuilddeps. * Improve and mark more messages in writedb() to make translators lifes easier. Closes: #408525 * Improve update-alternatives --display output to use two leading spaces for current link and slave information. Use single quotes for both “best” and the alternative it's pointing to. Closes: #549167 * Refer to “half configured” instead of “failed config” in «dpkg-query -l» header and dselect package status printing for consistency. * Make “dpkg-statoverride --quiet” actually do something, and quiesce most of the inoquous warning messages. Closes: #403211 * Make “dpkg-statoverride --update --add” fail if it cannot update the mode and owner of the file. This would fail later on when dpkg itself applies the overrides, so better to signal this earlier. * Add sparc64 to cputable. Thanks to Aurelien Jarno . Closes: #560010 * Do not allow diverting a file to itself, which makes the file to get removed. Closes: #312206 * Make the check for duplicate fields in a stanza in libdpkg actually work, which now makes it fatal, as was intended originally. This should not cause problems for anything using dpkg-dev to build packages as those are already fatal on that case. * Add new deb-split(5) man page. * Fix misspellings of “explicitly” all over the place. * Normalize ar member names when reading (removing trailing spaces and slash), this allows deb-split packages be created with GNU ar. * Validate compression level on dpkg-deb argument parsing. * Fix error handling, clean up and refactor compression code. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for several of the patches. * Do not print unambiguous epoch on dpkg file overwrite error. * Rename Dpkg::IPC::fork_and_exec() to Dpkg::IPC::spawn(). * Change dpkg-dev to Depend on perl instead of perl5 and perl-modules. * Fix small memory leaks related to scandir() in dpkg-deb and libdpkg. * Fix dpkg-query and dpkg-trigger to actually print a version on --version. * Always spawn a new shell on conffile prompt, instead of supporting self backgrounding, remove DPKG_NO_TSTP environment variable support. Closes: #38334 * Set DPKG_SHELL_REASON, DPKG_CONFFILE_OLD and DPKG_CONFFILE_NEW environment variables when spawning a shell for conffile examination. Closes: #60329 Thanks to Daniel Martin for the idea. * Add support for disabling update-alternatives at configure time using --withouth-update-alternatives. * Add support for disabling install-info at configure time using --withouth-install-info. * Update debian/copyright. * Use Debian instead of ‘Debian GNU/Linux’ when referring to the distribution. * On dpkg --no-act with --install, --unpack or --record-avail, and dpkg-deb --info or --field use mkdtemp() to create a temporary directory instead of insecure tempnam() or tmpnam() functions. * Remove --license and --licence options from tools. * Securely remove newly installed files when rolling-back a failed unpack. * Change default lzma compression level from 9 to 6. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch. * Add support for xz compressed data.tar member of binary packages. Add xz-utils to dpkg's Pre-Depends. Closes: #542160 Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch. * Use xz command to handle lzma compressed files in dpkg and dpkg-dev. This removes the lzma package from both dpkg and dpkg-dev dependencies. * Do not set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage when cross-building. The proper solution to this is to let the build system choose the appropriate pkg-config binary for the build or host system in the same way pkg.m4 is handling it now. Closes: #551118 * Dynamically link against all external libraries. This includes libbz2 and zlib for dpkg-deb and and libselinux for dpkg on GNU/Linux. * Mark the libdpkg.a API as volatile and require any possible users to set LIBDPKG_VOLATILE_API to acknowledge that fact. * Add a new libdpkg-dev package with the headers and the static library, although its API should be considered volatile. * Reorganize the doc contents that goes into each package: - README.multicd only in dselect. - README.api only in development packages, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-dev. - triggers.txt only in dpkg-dev. * Move source.lintian-overrides to debian/source/lintian-overrides. * Switch SE Linux support to explicitly set path context. This fixes the mislabeling of files under on conffile extraction or on unpack errors, due to improper default context restoration. Closes: #498438 * Use FIEMAP when available (on Linux based systems) to sort the .list files loading order. With a cold cache it improves up to a 70%. Thanks to Morten Hustveit . * When FIEMAP is not available use posix_fadvise() to start preloading the .list files before loading them. With a cold cache it improves up to 40%. Thanks to Stefan Fritsch . Closes: #557560 * Call fsync(2) after writting files on disk, to get the atomicity guarantees when doing rename(2). Based on a patch by Jean-Baptiste Lallement . Closes: #430958 * Document in the man page the effects of setting TMPDIR for dpkg and dpkg-deb, HOME for dselect and dpkg and PAGER for dpkg. Closes: #572836 * Document the exit codes for dpkg-query. Closes: #571798 * Document “dpkg-query -l” abbreviated state information in the man page. Based on a patch by Marc-Jano Knopp . Closes: #383869 . [ Modestas Vainius ] * Implement symbol patterns (Closes: #563752). From now on, it is possible to match multiple symbols with a single entry in the symbol file template. While the concept is not new (wildcards also match multiple symbols), patterns cover much more ground and are a lot more flexible. Together with the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported: - c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by c++filt); - symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented on top of the new framework; - regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression. Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense. * As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation, patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result, dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are present in the symbol file (Closes: #541464). Please note, however, that there is no way to detect symbol changes in the pattern match sets. * Add source version to the dpkg-gensymbols diff label, reformat it according to the rules of dpkg-name. * Add -a option to dpkg-gensymbols. * Add -q option to dpkg-gensymbols. -c0 will never fail but still generate a diff. Use -c0 -q to keep dpkg-gensymbols completely quiet as before (Closes: #568228). . [ Jonathan Nieder ] * Fix a file handle leak in “dpkg-deb --info”. Thanks to Raphael Geissert for the report and patch. . [ Helge Kreutzmann ] * Add dpkg-gensymbols.1 to the translatable man page set. . [ Updated dpkg translations ] * French (Christian PERRIER). * German (Sven Joachim). * Italian 'Milo Casagrande). Closes: #567531 * Simplified Chinese (Aron Xua). Closes: #558794 * Slovak (Ivan Masár). Closes: #559269 * Swedish (Peter Krefting). . [ Updated dselect translations ] * German (Sven Joachim). . [ Updated man page translations ] * French (Christian Perrier): correcting inconsistencies for the translation of "original" here and there. Thanks to Julien Valroff for pointing this. * German (Helge Kreutzmann). * Swedish (Peter Krefting). . [ Updated scripts translations ] * French (Christian PERRIER). * German (Helge Kreutzmann). * Swedish (Peter Krefting).
