Change logs for flex source package in Trusty

  • flex (2.5.39-8~ubuntu14.04.1) trusty-backports; urgency=medium
    
      * No-change backport to trusty (LP: #1365896)
    
    flex (2.5.39-8) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Added a missing build depends on vm-super-minimal, reuired fro
        building the pdf documentation,  (Closes: #752151).
      * Move flex.pdf to the flex-doc package. This makes it possible for the
        flex package's contents to not change if texinfo is not installed,
        e.g. in the stage1 build profile.  Thanks to Peter Pentchev
        <email address hidden>
      * Move the flex-doc build dependencies to B-D-I. Move the TeX Live
        dependencies to Build-Depends-Indep and only build the HTML and PDF
        documentation if actually requested. This breaks a circular build
        dependency by not requiring texlive for the build of the
        arch-dependent flex binary packages.  (Closes: #749344).
      * Bug fix #752151: "pdfetex error about missing cm-super", thanks to
        Helmut Grohne and Cyril Brulebois
      * Bug fix: #749344" Allow bootstrapping without texlive and
        dh-autoreconf", thanks to Peter Pentchev
    
    flex (2.5.39-7) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * dh-autoreconf already depends on all the autotools that it will
        attempt to use to rebuild the package's build framework, so remove the
        direct (and redundant) dependencies on the autotools
        packages. Suggestion by Peter Pentchev  (Closes: #749341).
      * The patch also cleaned up the creation of examples and links for man
        pages.
      * Bug fix #749341: "Drop the autotools build dependencies, dh-autoreconf
        is sufficient", thanks to Peter Pentchev
    
    flex (2.5.39-6) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * The code that is generated by flex has an off-by-one error in the
        generated #line pragmas that occur after the second %% line in the
        source file. Marcus Rausch  supplied the patch that fixes it.
        (Closes: #542482).
      * Bug fix #542482: "Off-by-one error in line statements", thanks to
        Wouter Verhelst
    
    flex (2.5.39-5) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Adapted patch from Matthias Klose to add  pre-seeding of autoconf
        values as paramaters, fixing cross builds. flex uses runtime checks
        for configure tests, and preseeding allows cross build to succeed,
      * Bug fix: "fix cross build", thanks to Matthias Klose. Applied fix
        manually  (Closes: #746172).
    
    flex (2.5.39-4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Bug fix: "Flex 2.5.39-3 has a typo in installman", thanks to
        Gianfranco Costamagna. over -> over (Closes: #745228).
    
    flex (2.5.39-3) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Move libl.a from flex to libfl-dev, for real
      * install link manually for libfl-dev alone, cleaning up the rules file
        in the process.
    
    flex (2.5.39-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * New bug fixing release
      * Bug fix: "typo in README.Debian: libfla_pic.a -&gt; libfl_pic.a",
        thanks to Jakub Wilk (Closes: #744853).
      * Bug fix: "libfl-dev and flex-old: error when trying to install
        together", thanks to Ralf Treinen. The package libfl-dev needs to
        replace and Break the flex-old package too,  (Closes: #744833).
      * Bug fix: "redundant redeclaration of ‘isatty’", thanks to Ludovic
        Rousseau. This duplication was removed in the last upstream release.
        (Closes: #488274).
      * Bug fix: "flex-2.5.35 bug", thanks to Yuriy Z. scan.c now declares n
        as size_t, in the new upstream version.  (Closes: #633008).
      * Bug fix: "make check failure", thanks to Sayre, Alan N. The new
        version of flex does succeed in running make check (it would not build
        otherwise) (Closes: #632095).
    
    flex (2.5.39-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New upstream release
      * internationalization: added support for various languages. Fix make
        install target to not fail when the flex++ program is already
        installed. various portability fixes that quiet compiler warnings on
        64-bit hosts. numerous bug fixes.
      * Moved to a new dh based build system. Also moved to a 3.0 source
        format, using debcherry.
      * Bug fix: "cross build support", thanks to Eleanor Chen. We have moved
        to a standard dh based build, so we should not have this issue any more.
        (Closes:    #719955).
      * Bug fix: "examples not included into binary packages", thanks to Carl
        Fürstenberg. Examples are in this version.  (Closes: #560387).
      * Bug fix: "new upstream release 2.5.37", thanks to Peter Eisentraut
        (Closes: #729759).
      * Bug fix: "flex, new release available for download", thanks to
        Gianfranco Costamagna (Closes: #736345).
      * Bug fix: "please mark flex as Multi-Arch: allowed", thanks to Steve
        Langasek. Redid the patch to work with dh.     (Closes: #611230).
      * Updating to a new build system means that the changes made to the
        build system in the NMU are not needed, dh does the right thing.
      * The new upstream release added the prototypes in re-entrant mode, so
        we are no longer carrying those patches.

  • flex (2.5.35-10.1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
        - Split the flex package into flex and libfl-dev, with flex as a
          Multi-Arch: foreign package depending on a Multi-Arch: same libfl-dev,
          so that flex works for cross-building.
    
    flex (2.5.35-10.1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Non-maintainer upload.
      * Use dpkg-buildflags to enable hardened build flags.
        Thanks to Moritz Muehlenhoff <email address hidden>. (Closes: #655414)
      * Add prototypes for yy_[gs]etcolumn in re-entrant mode, taken from Fedora.
        Thanks to Daniel Stone <email address hidden>. (Closes: #667027)
