Changelog
doc-base (0.10.1) unstable; urgency=low
* DocBaseFile.pm, InstallDocs.pm:
+ while getting changed files, don't schedule not yet registered files
for removal;
+ if some documents cannot be registered and verbose messages are turned
off, inform the user how to get the more detailed reasons of the errors.
doc-base (0.10.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied a bit modified patch from Martin Pitt @ Ubuntu to remove dependency
on perl (closes: #602919):
+ Scrollkeeper.pm: provide our own local dirname() function and use it
instead of File::Basename;
+ InstallDocs.pm: use the `rm -r' and 'mkdir -p' programs instead of
File::Path;
+ debian/rules: run dh_perl with '-d' to avoid perl dependency.
* Switch internal databases format from MLDBM to YAML and provide better
error recovery from database corruption:
+ DB.pm: use YAML::Tiny module for storing our internal databases;
+ Util.pm: introduce Fatal() function and differentiate exit codes
by type of error;
+ make the Fatal() function call
+ debian/control: switch dependency on libmdlbm-perl to libyaml-tiny-perl;
+ debian/postinst: try to recover for yaml files corruption by deleting
them and re-spawning install-docs.
* Translations handling:
+ patch from David Prévot not to assume word ordering in translated
strings (closes: #606475);
+ patch from Chris Leick to fix plurals in the strings (closes: #521384);
+ English messages cleanups;
+ mark more doc-base messages as translatable;
+ Update Polish translation of binary.
* doc-base.sgml:
+ prepend a top-level section name section names to make it more visible
that sections' components are separated by slash (closes: #578331);
+ add the `Network/Remote Access' section (closes: #555161);
+ the Network section has two levels, not three (closes: #615488).
* Don't create scrollkeeper files when rarian-compat is not installed
(closes: #419745)
+ debian/triggers: interest on /usr/share/doc/rarian-compat to be
notified of installs/removals of rarian-compat
* DocBaseFile.pm: fix `no valid Format found' check.
* Scrollkeeper.pm: avoid `unsuccessful stat on file contains new line'
warnings given by perl (closes: #607498, #614330).
* Ubuntu bugs handling:
+ install-docs.in: check if the Pod::Usage module is available before
using it (LP: #431270, #510976);
+ this version gets rid of MLDBM and provides a better handling of
databases corruption, to prevent `read error' bugs
(LP: #695319, #675069, #672364, #668856, #652102, #621345);
+ debian/prerm: downgrade the `cannot find install-docs on path' error
to a warning to make it possible to remove doc-base when install-docs
is not available for some reason (LP: #391464);
+ the `/usr/share/doc-base/data/doc-base.map' file is provided in the
package, it must have been deleted either manually or by filesystem
error (LP: #660345, #646629);
+ close bugs that are duplicates of Debian bug#501874, fixed in 0.8.18
(LP: #247718, #249160, #250252, #314996, #327101, #327104).
* debian/rules: switch to the tiny format from debhelper and add support for
build-arch and build-indep targets.
* debian/control:
+ sort dependency fields with wrap-and-sort from the
ubuntu-dev-tools package;
+ drop versioned conflicts with old versions of dwww and dhelp;
+ drop versioned dependency on dpkg;
+ Standards-Version: 3.9.1.
* Bump debhelper compat mode to 8.
* Set source format to `3.0 (native)'.
* Fix spelling typos found by lintian.
* Remove ancient stuff from preinst.
* Re-register all docs when upgrading to this version.
