xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Helmut Grohne ]
  * Non-maintainer upload.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Remove build-dependency on perl; we use no non-trivial Perl modules so
    the Essential perl-base is perfectly adequate, and an unadorned
    build-dependency on perl is problematic for cross-building.
    Closes: #697328.

xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20120614-2) unstable; urgency=low


  * Apply fixes from 5.1.2alpha.  Closes: #685220.
    - liblzma: report a LZMA_DATA_ERROR when range encoded data starts
      with a nonzero byte.  This is a sanity check to catch malformed
      files that no known encoders produce.
    - xz -v -v --list: Support for decompressing blocks with
      zero-length uncompressed data was added in xz 5.0.2, not 5.0.3.
    - xz.1: "xz --robot -v -v --list" gained a "minimum xz version to
      decompress" field.
  * xz-utils/README.Debian: Document differences from upstream.
    Closes: #685217.

xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20120614-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit f1675f76.
    - liblzma: BCJ filters would return a spurious LZMA_BUF_ERROR
      result in certain circumstances.  As a result, the xz tool
      could produce inappropriate "Compressed data is corrupt" or
      "Unexpected end of input" failures (reported in XZ Embedded as
      Fedora bug 735408).
    - "xz -v -v --list" prints the minimal XZ Utils version needed
      to decompress a stream.
    - "xz --robot -v --list" formats filenames more plainly.
    - xzgrep does not fail unconditionally when the decompressor
      dies with SIGPIPE due to unconsumed output any more.  This
      makes the exit status from commands such as "xzgrep -q" and
      "xzgrep -l" more predictable and convenient for scripts.
    - examples/xz_pipe_decomp.c did not check correctly for
      truncated input.
    - There is a new set of sample programs.  The old ones have
      been renamed to examples_old but are still maintained.
  * liblzma:
    - If dlopen() indicates that liblzma.so.2 is loaded, check fewer
      reserved fields in the stream argument to the lzma_code()
      function.  This prevents out-of-bounds reads when liblzma5
      functions are called by code built against liblzma2 (see
      <http://sourceware.org/PR12977>).
    - Remove the lzma_code@Base compatibility symbol.
      Closes: #649522.  Thanks to Eduard Bloch.
    - Install run-time library to /lib so it can be used before /usr
      is mounted.  Closes: #672120.
    - Configure with --disable-threads for now to avoid needlessly
      linking to libpthread and librt.
  * liblzma-dev:
    - Install an appropriate library for static linking instead of
      the decompression-only version used to build xzdec.
      Closes: #673001.  Thanks to Anton Tolchanov.
    - Use the liblzma2-compatible version of lzma_code() in the
      static library.
    - Multi-Arch: same.  Thanks to Riku Voipio.
    - Install new examples and revised old examples to
      /usr/share/doc/liblzma-dev.
  * xz-utils:
    - Use update-alternatives to provide lzma, unlzma, lzcat, and
      the rest of the lz* scripts without conflicting with the lzma
      package.
    - Conflicts: lzma versions before before 9.22-1, when it started
      providing lzma, unlzma, and lzcat through the alternatives
      system.
    - Conflicts: and Replaces: xz-lzma.
    - README.Debian: Update instructions on configuring the package
      to provide lzma compatibility commands.
  * Remove xz-lzma package.
  * Use dpkg-buildflags to retrieve compiler flags, including
    hardening options.  Build-Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1).
    Closes: #653739.
  * debian/rules:
    - build-arch: Simplify by using a double-colon rule instead of a
      dependency on a dummy noop target.
    - build-indep: Assume doxygen is available, instead of trying to
      get by by assuming the caller meant to invoke build-arch when
      it is missing.  Build-Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.2).
    - Rearrange for clarity.
  * debian/symbols: Bump the minimal version for lzma_code(),
    lzma_raw_buffer_decode(), and lzma_raw_buffer_encode().
  * Use machine-readable copyright-format 1.0.
  * Update copyright file.
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.3 (checked).
  * debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Use ‘git rev-list | git diff-tree’
    instead of ‘git log’ to avoid depending on the build system’s
    configuration.

xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20110809-3) unstable; urgency=low


  * liblzma: Match upstream ABI.
    - Remove the lzma_chunk_size() function.
    - A few ABI tweaks to reserved space in structures.
    - Enable ELF symbol versioning.
    - Bump soname to 5.
    - Continue to leave out threading support, since the relevant

  * xz-utils/README.Debian: Remove note on ABI differences.
  * Remove liblzma/README.Debian.
  * liblzma: Introduce a lzma_code@Base compatibility symbol to ensure
    programs linked against unversioned symbols from liblzma2 can
    share a process image with liblzma5 without breaking.
  * debian/symbols: XZ_5.0 symbols come from liblzma5.  Build-Depends:
    dpkg-dev (>= 1.15.6); thanks to Jakub Wilk for a reminder.
  * debian/symbols: The lzma_code@Base symbol is not guaranteed to

xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20110809-3~exp2) experimental; urgency=low


  * xz-lzma: Avoid conflict with lzma as provided with the LZMA SDK.
    - Use update-alternatives to provide lzma, unlzma, lzcat,
      lzgrep, etc.
    - Only conflicts with lzma versions before 9.22-1, when it
      switched to using update-alternatives to provide lzma, unlzma,
      and lzcat.
  * xz-utils: Register directly as an alternative implementation for
    lzma compatibility commands.
    - No more xz-lzma package.
    - xz-utils gets xz-lzma's content and dependencies (replaces
      ancient lzip to avoid a file conflict, conflict with
      pre-alternatives lzma, provides lzma).
    - xz-utils conflicts with and is intended to replace xz-lzma.
  * xz-utils/README.Debian: Update instructions for choosing an
    implementation for the lzma compatibility commands.

xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20110809-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 5c5b225.
    - liblzma:
      - lzma_stream_encoder() leaked memory.
      - The LZMA2 decoder rejected streams that decompress to a
        zero-length string.
      - lzma_easy_buffer_encode() and lzma_stream_buffer_encode()
        used to write such streams when asked to compress a 0-length
        buffer.
      - lzma_index_init() would segfault on allocation failure.
      - liblzma: Various functions check their arguments (especially
        choice of integrity check) better, making it harder to create
        a corrupt .xz file instead of receiving an error.
    - xz and scripts:
      - "xz -v -v --list" would read and try to free() uninitialized
        memory, continuing past the end of an on-stack array, when
        asked to describe certain corrupted XZ files.
      - xz -S.suf now refuses to compress a file whose name already
        ends with the suffix “.suf”.
      - xz --force can be used to compress setuid, setgid, sticky,
        and multiply linked files.
      - xz uses posix_fadvise() to speed up sequential input.
      - xz --block-size forces a full flush periodically during
        compression, for better random-access reading support and to
        make simple parallelism possible in the future.
      - unxz: The new --single-stream option discards trailing
        garbage after the end of the first stream.
      - xzdiff can read gzip- and bzip2-compressed files.
      - xzdiff and xzgrep can read lzop-compressed files.
      - xzegrep and xzfgrep perform extended regex and fixed-string
        matches, respectively.  (The previous behavior was to always
        use basic regexes.)
      - xzgrep -l (= --files-with-match) works.
      - The Czech “xz --help” output uses a more correct term for
        files with holes.  Thanks to Petr Hubený.  Closes: #605762.
      - xz: New Polish and French translations.
    - The Doxygen-generated documentation uses short, relative paths
      to name source files.  Closes: #572273.
  * Update copyright file.
  * Remove example programs from debian/examples.  They are included
    in the upstream source package now.
  * Move liblzma to an architecture-specific directory, so the
    native library and foreign-architecture versions can be installed
    simultaneously.
    - liblzma2: Pre-Depends: multiarch-support.
    - Use debhelper compatibility level 9.  This requires passing
      the dh sequence name before other options when invoking dh in
      debian/rules.  Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8.1.3).
    - liblzma2, liblzma-dev: Install files under /usr/lib/<triplet>
      instead of /usr/lib.
    - Thanks to Steve Langasek for explaining the process on the
      Debian wiki.
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.2 (checked).
  * debian/control: liblzma2 is Multi-Arch: same, while xz-utils
    and xzdec are Multi-Arch: foreign.  Closes: #637883.  Thanks to
    Riku Voipio.
  * debian/symbols: Bump the minimal version for LZMA2 encoder
    functions that reject more bad arguments and skip empty blocks.
  * debian/rules: ./configure --disable-symbol-versions for now.
  * debian/rules: Provide build-arch and build-indep targets that
    only build the code and the API documentation, respectively.

xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20110528-1~exp1) experimental; urgency=low
  * Remove threading support, since the relevant interfaces in    liblzma are not stable yet.  * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 492c863.    - liblzma: lzma_index_init() would segfault on allocation      failure.    - liblzma uses ELF symbol versioning, with version node names      like XZ_5.0 for compatibility with FreeBSD.    - "xz -v -v --list" would read and try to free() uninitialized      memory, continuing past the end of an on-stack array, when      asked to describe certain corrupted XZ files.    - xzegrep and xzfgrep perform extended regex and fixed-string      matches, respectively.  (The previous behavior was to always      use basic regexes.  The new behavior was introduced in      5.1.1alpha+20110517 but the changelog entry neglected to      mention it.)    - xz: New French translation.  * debian/symbols: List the new version node names.  * Move liblzma to an architecture-specific directory so the    native library and foreign-architecture versions can be    co-installed.    - liblzma5: Pre-Depends: multiarch-support.    - Use debhelper compatibility level 9.  This requires passing      the dh sequence name before other options when invoking dh in      debian/rules.  Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8.1.3).    - liblzma5, liblzma-dev: Install files under /usr/lib/<triplet>      instead of /usr/lib.    - Thanks to Steve Langasek for explaining the process on the      Debian wiki.  * Update copyright file. -- Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden>  Sun, 12 Jun 2011 01:26:52 -0500

xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20110517-1) experimental; urgency=low
  * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 5eefc00.    - liblzma fixes:      - lzma_stream_encoder() leaked memory.      - The LZMA2 decoder rejected streams that decompress to a        zero-length string.      - lzma_easy_buffer_encode() and lzma_stream_buffer_encode()        would write such redundant streams when asked to compress a        zero-length string.      - Various functions did not check their arguments (especially        integrity types) well enough, making it too easy to create a        corrupt .xz file instead of receiving an error code.    - liblzma has experimental support for threaded compression.    - xz --threads will use multiple threads to compress.  The      semantics (especially for --threads=0) are subject to change.    - xz --block-size forces a full flush periodically during      compression, for better random-access reading support and to      make simple parallelism possible.    - xzgrep -l (= --files-with-match) works.    - unxz: The new --single-stream option discards trailing garbage      after the end of the first stream.    - xz will use posix_fadvise() to speed up sequential input.    - xzdiff and xzgrep can read lzop-compressed files.  * liblzma: bump soname to 5 and match upstream ABI (except using    versioned symbols).  * Update copyright file.  * Standards-Version: 3.9.2 (checked). -- Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden>  Wed, 18 May 2011 23:15:22 -0500

xz-utils (5.1.0alpha+20110206-1) experimental; urgency=low
  * Upload to experimental.  * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 96f94bc.    - xz with -S.suf will refuse to compress file.suf because the      uncompressed file’s name already ends with .suf.    - xz --force no longer refuses to compress setuid, setgid,      sticky, or multiply linked files.    - xz --help: Czech output uses a more correct term for files with      holes.  Thanks to Petr Hubený for a report.  Closes: #605762.    - xzdiff can read gzip- and bzip2-compressed files now.    - The Doxygen-generated documentation uses short, relative paths      to name source files.  Closes: #572273.    - xz: New Polish translation.  * liblzma2: Use versioned symbols.  Bump minor version number to 1.  * debian/symbols: Bump the minimum version for all symbols ---    dependencies on versioned symbols cannot be satisfied by    unversioned symbols.  * Update copyright file.  * Remove example programs from debian/examples.  They are included    in the upstream source package now.  * debian/rules: Treat DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck as a request not to    run build-time tests.  Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for a reminder. -- Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden>  Thu, 17 Mar 2011 05:10:09 -0500

xz-utils (5.0.0-1) experimental; urgency=low


  * Upload to experimental.
  * New stable upstream release.  Closes: #592298.
    - xz avoids SA_RESTART.  This should not have a visible effect
      because xz already blocked signals during operations that
      would be difficult to resume after interruption.
    - liblzma: The coders returned by lzma_index_encoder() and
      lzma_index_decoder() support an LZMA_FINISH action, with
      identical semantics to LZMA_RUN.
    - The printable (PDF and PS) versions of the manual are easier
      to read.
    - Many documentation and build system cleanups.
  * liblzma: Back out upstream ABI tweaks.
  * liblzma/README.Debian: Document ABI differences from upstream.
  * Copy sample code not included in the release tarball from
    the development upstream repository to debian/examples.
  * debian/rules clean: Remove some files not included in the
    release tarball.
  * copyright: List new INSTALL.generic license.
  * debian/rules clean: Take new build-aux scripts into account.
  * debian/rules:  Adapt for upstream build system changes.
    Closes: #540443.
  * xz-utils, xzdec: Install release notes.

xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100927-1) experimental; urgency=low


  * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit cec0ddc.
    - liblzma: The meaning of --extreme has been tweaked to address
      cases in which it made the compression ratio worse.  Some files
      might benefit slightly less from --extreme.
    - xz: Table columns are not misaligned any more in messages with
      multi-byte characters (e.g., file sizes with LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8).
    - xz: New German and Italian translations.
    - Various documentation, message, and translation updates.
  * Update copyright file.
  * debian/rules get-orig-source: Update upstream Git URL.
  * xz-utils/README.Debian: Advertise XZ_DEFAULTS.

xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100903-1) experimental; urgency=low


  * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 373ee26.
    - liblzma: The settings for compression levels 0 through 5
      (used by xz -0/.../-5) have been tweaked.  This affects the
      speed, compression ratio, and memory usage at compression and
      decompression time.
    - Does not search so hard for a match when a low "nice match
      length" setting is specified without a depth.
    - xz: The -1/.../-9 preset options override any previously
      specified filters, rather than vice versa.  To mix presets
      with filter options, use the --lzma2=preset=n option.
    - xz: Warns about --memlimit-compress settings that result in
      compression settings changing even if no explicit -1/.../-9,
      --lzma1, or --lzma2 option was used.
    - "xz -v -v --compress" now prints an estimate of the memory
      required to decompress a file.
  * debian/copyright: Update upstream Git URL.
  * debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Permit terser changelog lines.
  * Standards-Version: 3.9.1 (checked).

xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100810-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d5653ba8a.
    - xz: The memory usage limiter is now disabled by default.
    - xz: Support for an XZ_DEFAULTS environment variable was added.
      It contains user-specific default settings, such as memory usage
      limits, and can be overridden by the command line and XZ_OPT.
    - xz: The new --memlimit-compress and --memlimit-decompress
      options allow the memory usage limit to be set separately for
      compression and decompression.  A new --memlimit alias has been
      added for the existing --memory option.
    - xz: The --info-memory option (with or without --robot) now prints
      how much RAM is installed in addition to the compression and
      decompression memory limits.
  * liblzma-doc: Simplify package description.
  * debian/control: Build-Depends: autopoint | gettext (<< 0.18-1),
    autopoint | cvs instead of autopoint, to help with backporting.

  * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit f4b2b526.
    - liblzma: The lzma_stream_init() function was not correctly
      initializing the internal allow_buffer_error flag.  As a result,
      ever since 4.999.9beta-1 in rare circumstances when decompressing
      LZMA files, the xz tool would produce spurious "Unexpected end
      of input" failures (Gentoo bug 305591).
    - The default memory usage limit on low-memory systems has been
      increased.
  * debian/copyright: Clarify.
