dpkg 1.14.12ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.14.12ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
   - Add m_strdup to mlib (part of the fix for Debian #379028).
   - Use i686 for lpia in cputable and triplettable.
   - Hack Dpkg::Arch to return i686 for lpia

   Launchpad integration:
   * Implement changelog-closes-bugs for Ubuntu (see
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClosingBugsFromChangelog).
   * Add Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed to dpkg-genchanges too, to make it not
     complain about unknown fields.

   DebianMaintainerField:
   * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Check that debian/control complies to
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField: Refuse to build a source
     package if we have an Ubuntu version number, but Maintainer: is not an
     Ubuntu address. Output a warning if there is no XSBC-Original-Maintainer:
     field for packages with an Ubuntu version number.
   * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Only fail to build the source package if $DEBEMAIL
     contains 'ubuntu'. If not, only print a warning.
   * debian/control: Change Maintainer/XSBC-Original-Maintainer field.

   Trigger support:
   * Implement triggers as per
     http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2007/04/msg00076.html (changes too
     massive to enumerate here).
   * Add "Breaks: apt (<< 0.7.6ubuntu6), aptitude (<< 0.4.6.1-1ubuntu2)", as
     triggers add two extra states, which apt and aptitude before then do not
     know about.
   * An early version of trigger support caused LP #133172. To fix which
     systems have had the broken version work we have to rename
     triggers/Deferred to triggers/Unincorp.  The error messages, comments,
     etc. will be improved later.

dpkg (1.14.12) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Raphael Hertzog ]
  * Add -I<file> option to dpkg-gensymbols to force the usage of a specific
    symbols file.
  * Dpkg::Shlibs::find_library() now returns canonicalized paths.
  * dpkg-shlibdeps always tries the realpath() of a lib as fallback when
    trying to identify the package of a lib (and not only for symlinks).
  * dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't fail any more if it can't find unversioned
    libraries on the presumption that they are just private libraries. Outputs
    a warning instead.
  * Expand the dpkg-shlibdeps manual page with explanations concerning
    failures.
  * The environment variable DPKG_GENSYMBOLS_CHECK_LEVEL can be used to force
    dpkg-gensymbols to use a precise level of checks. Closes: #452022

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Define several private functions and variables as static.
  * Move extern declarations to header files and stop defining them as extern.
  * Unify parsing of Section and Priority in dpkg-gencontrol with Homepage.
  * Switch dpkg-scanpackages to use the new Dpkg::ErrorHandling and
    Dpkg::Versions modules.

dpkg (1.14.11) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Raphael Hertzog ]
  * dpkg-shlibdeps now ignores the lack of dependency information in some
    specific cases (instead of failing):
    - when the library is in the same package than the binary analyzed
    - when the library is not versionned and can't have a shlibs file
  * dpkg-shlibdeps now only displays 10 warnings about symbols not found for
    each binary and a count of skipped warnings. Closes: #452318
  * dpkg-shlibdeps: optimize "dpkg -S" lookups by caching results, patch
    from Aaron M. Ucko <email address hidden>. Closes: #452577

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Fix dpkg-scanpackages to properly support an optional override file.
    Closes: #452621

dpkg (1.14.10) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Raphael Hertzog ]
  * dpkg-shlibdeps now correctly identify private libraries (avoid many
    warnings with perl/python modules). Closes: #452338
  * Move capit() to a Dpkg::Fields module and use it in dpkg-shlibdeps.
    Closes: #452262
  * Add more debug messages to dpkg-shlibdeps to ease collecting information
    in case of problems.
  * dpkg-shlibdeps now accepts again empty dependencies in shlibs files.
  * dpkg-shlibdeps will try harder to identify packages providing a library
    by looking up dpkg -S on the realpath of any symlink to a library.
    Closes: #452339
  * dpkg-source now correctly identifies the extension of the
    orig.tar.{gz,bz2,lzma} file and won't unexpectedly create "Format: 2.0"
    .dsc files.

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Add support for Package-Type in dpkg-name.
  * Restore cross compilation support by honouring the environment host and
    arch variables to override the default values on the dpkg-dev scripts.

  [ Updated man pages translations ]
  * Swedish (Peter Karlsson)

  [ Added scripts translations ]
  * Swedish (Peter Karlsson)

dpkg (1.14.9) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Raphael Hertzog ]
  * Fix bad behaviour of Dpkg::Path::get_pkg_root_dir() and adjust
    dpkg-shlibdeps accordingly. Closes: #452012
  * Fix Dpkg::Deps to accept empty fields. Closes: #452013

  [ Updated man pages translations ]
  * German (Helge Kreutzmann).

dpkg (1.14.8) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Raphael Hertzog ]
  * Heavy rework of dpkg-shlibdeps:
    - Support "symbols" files to generate finer-grained dependencies.
      Those files can be created by the new dpkg-gensymbols command.
      Closes: #430367
    - Uses now all paths in RPATH (instead of only the first).
      Closes: #395942
    - Support parsing include directives in /etc/ld.so.conf. Closes: #431597
    - Libraries are also searched in the public directories of packages
      being built and thus debian/shlibs.local can effectively define
      dependencies for libraries that are being built. Closes: #80340
    - "symbols" files use the full SONAME as key instead of splitting it in
      (name, version) like in the "shlibs" format. This allows binaries to
      be linked with unversioned libraries and not fail. Note that
      unversioned libraries are still a very bad idea.  Closes: #48208
    - dpkg-shlibdeps now supports '-x<package>' options that can be used to
      exclude packages from generated dependencies (use with care though).
      Closes: #41907, #109954
    - If dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't find any dependency information for a
      shared library that is actively used, then it will fail. This can be
      disabled with the option '--ignore-missing-info'. Closes: #10807
  * Switch perl programs to use the new Dpkg::Deps module. This changes the
    behaviour of dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-source which will rewrite and
    simplify dependencies and build dependencies as possible. Multiple
    dependencies on the same package are replaced by their intersection.
    Closes: #178203, #186809, #222652

  [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
  * Add $(MAKE) check to build target
  * Allow to use other compressions than gzip on dpkg-source -b
    (NOTE: this will result in a Format: 2.0 source package!).
    Closes: #382673
  * Various small fixes to the manpages suggested by Helge Kreutzmann.
    Closes: #445858
  * Fix Dpkg::BuildOptions (and thereby dpkg-buildpackage) to really
    set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Found by Daniel Shepler. Closes: #446119
  * Change some ' in shell code in dpkg-source.1 and dpkg-query.1 to
    proper \(aq. Reported by Daniel van Eeden. Closes: #447476

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Use shipped perl modules when calling perl programs at build time.
  * Switch perl programs to use the new Dpkg::ErrorHandling and Dpkg::Arch
    perl modules.
  * Add support for format strings in Dpkg::ErrorHandling functions.
  * Move build and host arch detection code from dpkg-architecture to
    Dpkg::Arch.
  * Add initial udeb support:
    - Support new fields fields Package-Type, Subarchitecture, Kernel-Version
      and Installer-Menu-Item. Closes: #383916
    - New '--type' option for dpkg-scanpackages.
  * Make dpkg-dev Conflict on dpkg-cross << 2.0.0 which was sourcing
    dpkg-buildpackage expecting it to be a shell script. Closes: #445852
  * Get rid of undefined macros from man pages. Thanks to Colin Watson
    for the analysis.

  [ Updated dselect translations ]
  * Czech (Miroslav Kure).

dpkg (1.14.7) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Add back $dpkglib into @INC, needed by the controllib.pl require in
    822-date. Closes: #440962
  * Document in dpkg-scanpackages that apt now requires Packages.bz2 in
    preference to Packages.gz. Closes: #440973
  * Stop recognizing the obsolete Optional field when building packages.
  * Use fakeroot, if present, by default to gain root privileges in
    dpkg-buildpackage.
  * Fix typos in dpkg-deb.1 and start-stop-daemon.8. Closes: #441051
    Thanks to A. Costa.
  * After '<prerm> remove' fails and while doing the error unwinding, if
    the '<postinst> abort-remove' call succeeds, preserve the old status
    instead of unconditionally setting it to 'Installed'. Closes: #432893
    Thanks to Brian M. Carlson.
  * Add Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields to debian/control.
  * Add a Homepage field to debian/control (to be changed later when
    there's a more formal site).
  * Allow comparing unsupported architectures for equality and identity.
    Based on a patch by Frank Lichtenheld. Closes: #427210
  * Document Origin and Bugs fields in deb-control.5. Closes: #173463
  * Do not replace substvars for build dependencies (it was not supported
    anyway).

  [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
  * Add _MTN to dpkg-source -i default regex. Suggested by Jari Aalto.
  * Convert dpkg-buildpackage to a Perl script.
    Fix some bugs in the new script detected in experimental:
    Closes: #444362
  * dpkg-buildpackage accepts a -j<n> option now which will set
    MAKEFLAGS(-j<n>) and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS(parallel=<n>) accordingly.
    parallel=<n> in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS will be passed to MAKEFLAGS as
    well. Based on an idea by Robert Millan. Closes: #440636
  * Allow dpkg-source -I without a pattern which will load a default
    list of pattern similar to -i without regexp. Patch by
    Jari Aalto. Closes: #440972
  * Rework documentation of dpkg-source's -i and -I options.
    Closes: #323911, #440956
  * Add --utf8-strings to gpg call in dpkg-buildpackage since
    that seems to be the better default. Suggested by Székelyi Szabolcs.
    Closes: #379418
  * Let dpkg-buildpackage error out early if the version number from
    the changelog is not a valid Debian version. Closes: #216075
  * Fix dpkg-source to create correct diffs for files with spaces in
    their name (apparantly we don't have many of those ;).
    Based on a patch by Marcel Toele. Closes: #445380

    dpkg-query man pages. This fixes some small mistakes
    and also Closes: #321520

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Man pages cleanup:
    - Some italics and bold fixes.
    - Unify ellipsis, argument separator, and remove redundant program name
      preceding the options.
    - Substitute 'FILES' header with 'SEE ALSO' in dpkg-buildpackage(1),

    of once per each conflicting package being removed. Closes: #378003
    Thanks to Ian Jackson.
  * Do not segfault when the result from a 'dpkg-query -l' is bigger than
    the total number of current packages, and do not produce repeated
    results with overlapping patterns on 'dpkg-query -W'. Closes: #428427

    against << dpkg-dev 1.14.6, where the perl modularization started.
  * Do not print empty lines after 'Setting up ...' output. Closes: #392317
