dpkg 1.15.5.6ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.15.5.6ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    Ubuntu-specific adjustments (probably):
    - Adjust versioned emacs22 conflicts to cope with versions in Ubuntu.

    Miscellaneous bug fixes:
    - Avoid duplicate attempts to [f]close in obscure error situations which
      might conceivably close wrong fds.
    - Revert change to stop outputting a newline after a postinst is run
      (Debian #392317).

    Build options:
    - Point to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistCompilerFlags from
      dpkg-buildpackage(1).
    - Set default LDFLAGS to -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions. (We've already taken
      this hit in Ubuntu.)
    - Implement handling of hardening-wrapper options via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

  * Drop lpia hacks; lpia is no longer supported.
  * Drop moves of various Conflicts to Breaks, which are moot since hardy
    has newer versions of all the affected packages.

dpkg (1.15.5.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * dpkg-source: with format "3.0 (quilt)" ensure quilt's .pc directory is
    created before trying to register a new patch in .pc/applied-patches.
    Thanks to Tommi Vainikainen <email address hidden> for the report and the
    patch. Closes: #561237
  * Fix dpkg-buildpackage to set "parallel=" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS instead of
    the invalid "parallel=-1" when option "-j" is given. Closes: #562038
  * Clarify how dpkg-source --print-format works and display messages on
    STDERR when the requested format is discarded. Closes: #560391
  * Add ${misc:Depends} in all Depends fields.

dpkg (1.15.5.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Allow again new lines in dpkg-source and dpkg-genchanges on substvar and
    maintainer arguments.

dpkg (1.15.5.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix Dpkg::Index::get() and remove(). Thanks to Roderich Schupp
    <email address hidden> for the patch. Closes: #558595
  * Modify implementation of "3.0 (quilt)" source format to not be
    behave differently depending on whether quilt is installed or not.
    The option --without-quilt is thus gone and dpkg-source creates
    and relies on the .pc directory to know whether patches are applied
    or not. Closes: #557667
  * Add new dpkg-source option --single-debian-patch supported by the source
    format "3.0 (quilt)" so that it behaves more like 1.0 and its single diff
    that is constantly updated with all upstream changes. Useful if the
    workflow is VCS based and can't generate a full patch set.
  * dpkg-source now uses debian/source/patch-header as header of the automatic
    Debian patch in format "3.0 (quilt)".
  * Fix Debian changelog parser so that the trailer line is again checked.

dpkg (1.15.5.3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Raphael Hertzog ]
  * Avoid usage of IO::String in dpkg-scanpackages, rely on Dpkg::IPC
    instead to directly get a pipe file descriptor. Closes: #557013
  * Put "3.0 (quilt)" in the default list of formats tried by dpkg-source
    after "1.0" and before "3.0 (native)".
  * Let dpkg-source fail if several upstream orig.tar files are available
    (using different compression scheme) since we don't know which one
    to use.
  * Add missing "use Dpkg::Gettext" in Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian.
    Closes: #557668
  * When building "3.0 (quilt)" source packages, use QUILT_PATCH_OPTS="-t -F 0
    -N -u -V never -g0" so that quilt is as strict as dpkg-source's internal
    implementation of quilt. Closes: #557664, #558233
  * Before accepting to build a 3.0 (quilt) source packages, ensure that
    debian/patches is a directory (or non-existing) and that
    debian/patches/series is a file (or non-existing). Closes: #557618
  * Dpkg::IPC::fork_and_exec() now includes the changed environment
    variables in the default error message displayed when the sub-process
    fails.

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Verify that the alternative used in update-alternatives --set has been
    registered instead of failing with an undefined value in the slave
    method. Closes: #554136
  * Strip leading spaces in the first line of a field's value in
    Dpkg::Control::Hash. Closes: #557547

dpkg (1.15.5.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change Dpkg::Version API to accept invalid versions by default and add
    is_valid() method. The boolean evaluation of a version object returns
    true if the version is valid, false otherwise.
  * Update dpkg-shlibdeps to always use Dpkg::Version now that it can
    contain the empty version string. Closes: #556786
  * Keep compatibility with perl 5.8 by avoiding the _ prototype.

dpkg (1.15.5.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix build failures due to off_t type missmatch caused by not including
    <config.h> first on the unit tests. Suggested by Pierre Habouzit and
    Julien Cristau, thanks!

dpkg (1.15.5) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Remove obsolete conffiles on purge. Closes: #421367, #453005, #454628
  * Update list of binaries dpkg checks on the PATH.
    - Remove install-info, now a wrapper that will disappear soonish.
    - Add programs used by dpkg itself: sh, rm, find, tar and dpkg-deb.
  * Check and warn on duplicate conffiles in dpkg-deb. Closes: #131633
  * Make the upstream build system silent by default with automake 1.11 or
    newer, and always verbose when building the Debian packages.
  * Fix small leak when parsing ‘--ignore-depends’ option values.
  * Define compatibility WCOREDUMP only if the system does not have it.
  * When start-stop-daemon fails to set the io scheduling warn instead of
    finishing fatally. Closes: #553580
  * Update md5 file paths in debian/copyright.
    Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden>.
  * On ‘dpkg-trigger --help’ print the default admindir instead of the one
    passed on the command line.
  * Abort on configure if the required C99 extensions are not supported.
  * Add C coding style document.
  * Make dpkg as strict as dpkg-statoverride on input when validating the
    parsed data from the statdb.
  * Rewrite dpkg-statoverride in C.
  * Use C99 snprintf function family semantics to avoid having to call them
    in a loop to grow the varbuf buffer. This should reduce memory usage and
    be slightly faster on varbufprintf calls.
  * Use the size from stat to allocate the buffers for readlink, instead of
    indefinitely calling readlink and growing the buffer. This should reduce
    memory usage when handling lots of symlinks, and be slightly faster.
  * Rework varbuf api to avoid increasing buffers indefinitely when adding
    content to them, regardless of space being already available.
  * Fix build macros to allow start-stop-deaemon to use TIOCNOTTY.
  * Generate the autoconf version from git to make it easier to see when a
    snapshot version is being used.
  * Add infrastructure for doxygen, for now not installed anywhere.
  * Allow overriding the pkg-config path to ease cross-compilation.
    Suggested by Tollef Fog Heen <email address hidden>.
  * Fix spelling errors in the Catalan translation. Closes: #553328
    Thanks to Robert Millan.
  * Update the FSF postal address in the source code license headers by
    replacing it with a URL to the gnu.org page.
  * Fix a file descriptor leak in dpkg-deb.
    Reported by Raphael Geissert <email address hidden>.
  * Fix resource leaks on error conditions in compat scandir.
  * Add a new status-fd action when disappearing a package. Closes: #537338

  [ Raphaël Hertzog ]
  * Add versioned dependency on base-files (>= 5.0.0) to dpkg-dev to ensure
    that /etc/dpkg/origins/default exists. Closes: #545274
  * Update Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no changes needed).
  * Major changes to the perl API:
    - Dpkg::Control is now Dpkg::Control::Info
    - Dpkg::Cdata is gone and is replaced by a new Dpkg::Control
    - Dpkg::Control::Fields contains authoritative information
      about fields allowed in various types of control information
      (and can be customized by each vendor). It also integrates
      information that was previously available through Dpkg::Deps.
    - Dpkg::Changelog has been split in multiple modules and largely
      modified to offer an interface that is now more in line with the
      other modules.
  * All dpkg-* perl programs that work with control information have been
    updated to use the new Dpkg::Control interface.
    In this process, dpkg-scanpackages has been fixed to not skip non-standard
    fields. Closes: #494136
  * Create Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed directly in the changelog parsing code thanks
    to a new vendor hook post-process-changelog-entry. Closes: #536066
  * Integrate dpkg-ftp into dselect. Add the required Replaces and Conflicts.
  * dpkg-scanpackages/dpkg-scansources now supports compressed override files.
  * dpkg-scanpackages now supports a new --medium option as needed to
    generate Packages.cd file for consumption by the multicd dselect access
    method. Closes: #402527
  * Integrate dpkg-multicd into dselect. Add the required Replaces and
    Conflicts. The dpkg-scanpackages fork is dropped. Closes: #516631
  * Fix bashisms in dselect multicd access method. Closes: #530070
  * Add support of "xz" compression method for source packages. Add dependency
    dpkg-dev → xz-utils to ensure xz and unxz are available.
  * Fix dpkg-source --include-binaries to correctly compute the path name of
    the discovered binary files. Closes: #554612
  * Remove extra quoting that should not be there while passing an exclude
    file to git ls-files during build of 3.0 (git) source package.
    Thanks to Courtney Bane for the patch. Closes: #551829
  * Optimize dpkg-source -b by avoiding many diff calls when not required.
    Thanks to Mike Hommey for the idea. Closes: #554689
  * Add new option --print-format to dpkg-source to be able to know by advance
    the source format that would be used during a build.
  * Modify dpkg-source -b to use default build options from
    debian/source/options. Thus it's now possible to have sticky options, for
    example for the choice of a compression method (--compression=<comp>).
  * dpkg-source outputs the list of upstream files modified by the diff.gz
    (applies only to source packages using format 1.0). Closes: #482166
    It also recommends usage of 3.0 (quilt) format during dpkg-source -b if it
    detects changes to upstream files that are stored in the .diff.gz.
  * Add DEP-3 compliant headers to automatic patches created by dpkg-source
    in 3.0 (quilt) source format. Closes: #543581
  * Switch dpkg to source format "3.0 (native)" with bzip2 compression.
