This is a WIP release, command line interfaces *will* change.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Move <config.h> and <compat.h> to the top of trigdeferred.l to properly
use the configured features and compat code.
* Honour --disable-nls when the system lacks obstack support, by updating
the obstack compat module from gnulib.
* Link the libdpkg unit tests with libcompat and libintl, so that systems
needing them will compile correctly.
* Check for the presence of the strnlen declaration and correctly provide
the compat one in case the systems lacks it.
* Do not assume existence of paths on the build system in the test suite.
* Do not fail to link dselect on MacOS X when using --disable-nls.
* Remove versioned coreutils Pre-Depends from dpkg due to the ancient
md5sum transition. Reported by Bill Allombert <email address hidden>.
Closes: #643746
* Change dpkg-architecture to only compute the requested variables. This:
- Fixes the bootstrapping problem, as the dpkg build system only needs
the host architecture, for which dpkg itself is not required.
- Reduces the amount of work performed, including loading and parsing
unnecessary table files or calling either of gcc or dpkg programs.
* Improve error message in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols when
debian/control does not have any package stanza. Closes: #642473
Based on a patch by Kyle Willmon <email address hidden>.
* Add Pre-Depends on tar >= 1.23 (satisfied in stable) to dpkg due to it
using the ‘--warning=no-timestamp’ option. Closes: #642802
* Do not segfault on GNU/Linux when dpkg cannot retrieve the block size
for the filesystem containing the info database. LP: #872734
* Fix two memory leaks per tar entry in the tar extractor used on unpack.
* Mark dpkg and dselect as Multi-Arch foreign.
Reported by Steve Langasek <email address hidden>.
* Mark dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl as Multi-Arch foreign. Closes: #648217
Thanks to Colin Watson <email address hidden>.
* Add new deb-origin.5 man page. Closes: #608884
Thanks to Matt Kraai <email address hidden>.
* Return correct status on start-stop-daemon --status when using --pidfile.
* Treat dpkg-deb compression level independently for each backend. This
has the effect of changing the current behaviour for level 0 on all
compressors except gzip.
* Add new dpkg-deb -S option to specify the compression strategy. The only
currently supported value is “extreme” for xz. Closes: #647915
* Stop using brace expansion to install man pages by using dh_installman
instead of dh_install, the former does not abort on empty glob expansion.
* Do not use absolute paths for programs in perl and shell code.
* Add missing ‘*’ in asprintf() and vasprintf() compat declarations.
* Add support for virtual output binary:Summary and db:Status-Abbrev fields.
Closes: #192619, #427945
* Add support for virtual output source:Package and source:Version fields.
Closes: #653575
* Use a different temporary file per process on libcompat's vsnprintf()
function to avoid race conditions from children after fork(3).
Reported by Daniel Ruoso <email address hidden>. Closes: #655411
* Fix start-stop-daemon --exec and --name options on FreeBSD, NetBSD and
OpenBSD by swapping the process matching implementations.
* Fix start-stop-daemon --name option on GNU/Hurd to match the process name.
* Document in more detail the implications of start-stop-daemon matching
options. Closes: #367608
* Improve and clarify dpkg-shlibdeps superfluous linking warning messages.
Based on a patch by Peter Eisentraut <email address hidden>. Closes: #656496[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Update Dpkg::Shlibs to look into multiarch paths when cross-building
too. Closes: #595144
* Rewrite architecture.mk with explicit loops instead of duplicating many
similar lines. Based on a patch by Thorsten Glaser <email address hidden>.
* Modify dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-distaddfile to grab a write lock
on debian/control before updating debian/files to avoid simultaneous
updates. Closes: #642608
Add libfile-fcntllock- perl to dpkg-dev's Depends since we use this module
to handle the locking.
* Update dpkg-gensymbols(1) to clarify that -e accepts shell patterns
expansions and not regular expressions. And let dpkg-gensymbols output a
warning when a pattern doesn't match any file. Closes: #649248
* Add new option "-a <arch>" to dpkg-checkbuilddeps to check build
dependencies for another architecture. This is really basic for now since
it assumes all build dependencies must be satisfied on the listed
architecture. Closes: #648180 Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch.
* Error out if a dpkg database .list file is not a regular file. LP: #369898
* Fix dpkg-mergechangelogs to not error out on invalid versions.
Closes: #651993
* Fix dpkg-source --commit on "3.0 (quilt)" when an explicit patch file
is given with a relative filename. Closes: #652414
* Further clarify in dpkg-source(1) the conditions under which it's possible
to pass an explicit patch file to dpkg-source --commit.
* Add new --query-features command to dpkg-buildflags. Thanks to Kees Cook
for the patch. Closes: #651481
* Fix description of Multi-Arch in deb-control(5). Closes: #654453
Thanks to Jakub Wilk for spotting the mistake.
* Drop misleading spaces in deb-symbols(5) in the format description.
* Clean up dpkg-architecture(1) dropping useless information and
adding a reference to /usr/share/dpkg/architectu re.mk.
* Update dpkg-buildpackage to use the "build-arch" (for -B) and
"build-indep" (for -A) targets unless "make -qn" says that they do not
exist. Closes: #229357[ Jonathan Nieder ]
* Bump po4a version in Build-Depends to 0.41, since earlier versions do
not handle --srcdir correctly. Closes: #644370[ Helge Kreutzmann ]

[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix two memory leaks introduced in 1.15.6.
* Always use C99 variadic macros, as the build requires them anyway, we
avoid exposing the configure variable HAVE_C99 on installed headers.
* Use __attribute__ keyword depending on compiler support, we avoid
exposing the configure variable HAVE_C_ATTRIBUTE on installed headers.
* Do not allow a --retry schedule in start-stop-daemon where forever is
the last item, as it needs something to repeat over. Closes: #570938
* Show dselect dependency/conflicts resolution screen again, by switching
the code to use STL's min() and max() instead of preprocessor macros, to
avoid multiple evaluation of arguments. Regression introduced in 1.15.6.
Based on a patch by Robert Luberda <email address hidden>. Closes: #574816
* Defer the fsync and rename for normal files in tar extraction so that
it's done in one pass afterwards, to avoid massive I/O degradation due to
the serialization from each write + fsync. This restores extraction times
to numbers closer to the ones before the fsync patch introduced in 1.15.6.[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Accept source packages without "Format" field for compatibility with very
old source packages. Thanks to Colin Watson for the report and the patch.
Closes: #574097[ Updated dpkg translations ]

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* debian/control: Add the accent on my first name.
* Perl API cleanup:
- rename Dpkg::Deps dump() methods into output([$fh]), overload string
representation ("$dep") to provide the result of $dep->output()
- prefix public functions in Dpkg::Deps with deps_ and export them
by default
- rename Dpkg::Source::Compressor in Dpkg::Compressi on::Process
- rename Dpkg::Source::CompressedFile in Dpkg::Compressi on::FileHandle
and completely redesign its API
- update Dpkg::Compression's API to use compression_* functions
instead of granting direct access to variables, integrate
there management of default compression
- introduce Dpkg::Interface::Storable and update many modules
to make use of it
- update Dpkg::BuildOptions to provide an object-oriented interface
- update Dpkg::Checksums to provide an object-oriented interface
* Drop debian-maintainers from Suggests since it's obsolete, the
corresponding keyring is in debian-keyring.
* Merge support of symbol patterns in dpkg-gensymbols. Thanks to
Modestas Vainius for his work (see further for more details).
* Accept filename with spaces and colon in the output of objdump.
Required so that dpkg-shlibdeps support such files properly.
Thanks to Raphaël Geissert for the patch. Closes: #565712
* When unpacking a "3.0 (quilt)" source package, tell quilt where
patches are (to be) stored. Requires quilt >= 0.48-5 to work.
Closes: #557619
* Fix update-alternatives to not try to reinstall an unknown alternative
when the link group is broken, instead switch to the best choice in
automatic mode. Closes: #566406
* Don't return duplicate bug numbers in Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed: .
Thanks to Brian Murray <email address hidden> for the report
and the patch. Closes: #569618
* Add $VERSION numbers to all perl modules. Closes: #465256
1.00 and higher means that the API should be stable
* While parsing diff's output, accept any sentence that contains the word
differ (as specified by POSIX) to identify that binary files could not be
compared. Closes: #570008
* dpkg-gencontrol does no longer accept arch-specific dependencies in
arch: all packages. Closes: #560071
* dpkg-gencontrol no longer warns if a substitution variable provided by -V
is not used (the warning is meant to catch unused substitutions coming
from the file, those are package specific with debhelper). Closes: #557133
* dpkg-gencontrol now indicates which package is concerned by the substvars
warning that it displays. Closes: #566837
* dpkg-buildpackage now supports options --source-option= <opt> and
--changes-option= <opt> to forward arbitrary options to dpkg-source and
dpkg-genchanges respectively. Closes: #566230
* The -T option of dpkg-{source,gencontrol, genchanges} can now be used
multiple times to read substitution variables from multiple files.
Closes: #363323
* dpkg-source now supports an option --create-empty-orig in formats
"2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)" to auto-create the main original tarball when
there are supplementary tarballs. This makes it easier to bundle
multiple software together. Closes: #554488
* dpkg-source supports long option names --diff-ignore and --tar-ignore for
-i and -I. A new option --extend-diff-ignore is introduced. Those options
can thus now be used in debian/source/ options.
* Generate manual pages for perl modules.
* Introduce the libdpkg-perl package and clarify its status in README.api.
* Update Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes needed).
* Drop unused lintian override for arch-dep-package- has-big- usr-share on
dselect.
* The rewritten Dpkg::Checksums deals properly with filenames with
spaces. Closes: #572030
* dpkg-source does no longer fallback to other source formats if the
requested one is not usable. Closes: #557459
* Modify dpkg-source to error out when it would apply patches containing
insecure paths (with "/../") and also error out when it would apply a
patch through a symlink. Those checks are required as patch will happily
modify files outside of the target directory and unpacking a source package
should not be able to have any side-effect outside of the target
directory. Fixes CVE-2010-0396.
* Also error out when the quilt series contains a path with "/../" as this
can cause patch to create files outside of the source package due
to the -B .pc/$path option that it gets.[ Guillem Jover ]
* Handle argument parsing in dpkg-checkbuilddeps and dpkg-scanpackages
in a way consistent with the rest of the tools.
* Recognize --help in addition to -h in dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
* Add a --version option to dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
* Improve and mark more messages in writedb() to make translators lifes
easier. Closes: #408525
* Improve update-alternatives --display output to use two leading spaces
for current link and slave information. Use single quotes for both “best”
and the alternative it's pointing to. Closes: #549167
* Refer to “half configured” instead of “failed config” in «dpkg-query -l»
header and dselect package status printing for consistency.
* Make “dpkg-statoverride --quiet” actually do something, and quiesce
most of the inoquous warning messages. Closes: #403211
* Make “dpkg-statoverride --update --add” fail if it cannot update the
mode and owner of the file. This would fail later on when dpkg itself
applies the overrides, so better to signal this earlier.
* Add sparc64 to cputable. Thanks to Aurelien Jarno <email address hidden>.
Closes: #560010
* Do not allow diverting a file to itself, which makes the file to get
removed. Closes: #312206
* Make the check for duplicate fields in a stanza in libdpkg actually work,
which now makes it fatal, as was intended originally. This should not
cause problems for anything using dpkg-dev to build packages as those
are already fatal on that case.
* Add new deb-split(5) man page.
* Fix misspellings of “explicitly” all over the place.
* Normalize ar member names when reading (removing trailing spaces and
slash), this allows deb-split packages be created with GNU ar.
* Validate compression level on dpkg-deb argument parsing.
* Fix error handling, clean up and refactor compression code.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for several of the patches.
* Do not print unambiguous epoch on dpkg file overwrite error.
* Rename Dpkg::IPC::fork_and_ exec() to Dpkg::IPC::spawn().
* Change dpkg-dev to Depend on perl instead of perl5 and perl-modules.
* Fix small memory leaks related to scandir() in dpkg-deb and libdpkg.
* Fix dpkg-query and dpkg-trigger to actually print a version on --version.
* Always spawn a new shell on conffile prompt, instead of supporting
self backgrounding, remove DPKG_NO_TSTP environment variable support.
Closes: #38334
* Set DPKG_SHELL_REASON, DPKG_CONFFILE_OLD and DPKG_CONFFILE_NEW environment
variables when spawning a shell for conffile examination. Closes: #60329
Thanks to Daniel Martin <email address hidden> for the idea.
* Add support for disabling update-alternatives at configure time using
--withouth-update- alternatives.
* Add support for disabling install-info at configure time using
--withouth-install- info.
* Update debian/copyright.
* Use Debian instead of ‘Debian GNU/Linux’ when referring to the
distribution.
* On dpkg --no-act with --install, --unpack or --record-avail, and
dpkg-deb --info or --field use mkdtemp() to create a temporary directory
instead of insecure tempnam() or tmpnam() functions.
* Remove --license and --licence options from tools.
* Securely remove newly installed files when rolling-back a failed unpack.
* Change default lzma compression level from 9 to 6.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch.
* Add support for xz compressed data.tar member of binary packages. Add
xz-utils to dpkg's Pre-Depends. Closes: #542160
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch.
* Use xz command to handle lzma compressed files in dpkg and dpkg-dev.
This removes the lzma package from both dpkg and dpkg-dev dependencies.
* Do not set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage when cross-building.
The proper solution to this is to let the build system choose the
appropriate pkg-config binary for the build or host system in the same
way pkg.m4 is handling it now. Closes: #551118
* Dynamically link against all external libraries. This includes libbz2
and zlib for dpkg-deb and and libselinux for dpkg on GNU/Linux.
* Mark the libdpkg.a API as volatile and require any possible users to set
LIBDPKG_VOLATILE_ API to acknowledge that fact.
* Add a new libdpkg-dev package with the headers and the static library,
although its API should be considered volatile.
* Reorganize the doc contents that goes into each package:
- README.multicd only in dselect.
- README.api only in development packages, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-dev.
- triggers.txt only in dpkg-dev.
* Move source.lintian- overrides to debian/ source/ lintian- overrides.
* Switch SE Linux support to explicitly set path context. This fixes the
mislabeling of files under <admindir> on conffile extraction or on unpack
errors, due to improper default context restoration. Closes: #498438
* Use FIEMAP when available (on Linux based systems) to sort the .list
files loading order. With a cold cache it improves up to a 70%.
Thanks to Morten Hustveit <email address hidden>.
* When FIEMAP is not available use posix_fadvise() to start preloading the
.list files before loading them. With a cold cache it improves up to 40%.
Thanks to Stefan Fritsch <email address hidden>. Closes: #557560
* Call fsync(2) after writting files on disk, to get the atomicity
guarantees when doing rename(2). Based on a patch by
Jean-Baptiste Lallement <email address hidden>.
Closes: #430958
* Call fsync(2) on database directories after creating, renaming or
unlinking files, to guarantee the new file entry is correctly listed
in the directory. Base on a patch by
Jean-Baptiste Lallement <email address hidden>.
* Document in the man page the effects of setting TMPDIR for dpkg and
dpkg-deb, HOME for dselect and dpkg and PAGER for dpkg. Closes: #572836
* Document the exit codes for dpkg-query. Closes: #571798
* Document “dpkg-query -l” abbreviated state information in the man page.
Based on a patch by Marc-Jano Knopp <email address hidden>.
Closes: #383869
* Honour LINGUAS environment variable when installing translated man pages.
* Allow disabling at configure time Unicode ncurses support for dselect.
Based on a patch by Yuri Vasilevski <email address hidden>.[ Modestas Vainius ]
* Implement symbol patterns (Closes: #563752). From now on, it is possible to
match multiple symbols with a single entry in the symbol file template.
While the concept is not new (wildcards also match multiple symbols),
patterns cover much more ground and are a lot more flexible. Together with
the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported:
- c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by
c++filt);
- symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature
which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented
on top of the new framework;
- regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression.
Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense.
* As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation,
patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a
pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result,
dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are
present in the symbol file (Closes: #541464). Please note, however, that
there is no way to detect symbol changes in the pattern match sets.
* Add source version to the dpkg-gensymbols diff label, reformat it according
to the rules of dpkg-name.
* Add -a<arch> option to dpkg-gensymbols.
* Add -q option to dpkg-gensymbols. -c0 will never fail but still generate a
diff. Use -c0 -q to keep dpkg-gensymbols completely quiet as before
(Closes: #568228).[ Jonathan Nieder ]
* Fix a file handle leak in “dpkg-deb --info”. Thanks to Raphael Geissert
for the report and patch.[ Helge Kreutzmann ]

file handled by dpkg. Thus harmonize vocabulary with the policy. Thanks
to Helge Kreutzmann <email address hidden>. Closes: #381219
* Improve error message stating that dpkg is unable to create a file so that
it also refers to the real filename instead of the non-diverted name only.
Thanks to Daniel Hahler for the patch. Closes: #457135
* dpkg-gencontrol can now again read the control file from its standard
input with "-c-". Closes: #465340

to change behaviour dynamically depending on the vendor of the current
system (or target system when the user overrides DEB_VENDOR by setting
it himself). Closes: #457371
* dpkg-shlibdeps give less strong warnings for symbols not found in NEEDED
libraries when the shared library is a non-public directory and is likely
to be a plugin. Closes: #481165

module Dpkg::Vendor::Default) .
* Add Ubuntu vendor object implementing lookup of launchpad bugs in
changelogs and a safety-check for Maintainer fields of forked packages
(launched during source build). Closes: #426752, #499924
* Improve behaviour of update-alternatives --config. Thanks to
Osamu Aoki <email address hidden> for the initial patch. We can know
select between manual and auto in --config and --all. Closes: #392430
* Fix update-alternatives to not switch to manual mode an alternative
with a broken symlink (instead let the current action fix it).
Also ensure that a message is displayed by default when such a switch is
made. Closes: #141325, #87677
* Fix update-alternatives' logic to rename files. It failed to ignore errors
in some cases where it wanted to when the source file didn't exist.
Closes: #99870
This also makes update-alternatives less noisy when this happens since we
don't call mv when we know that it's going to fail.
Closes: #98822
* Properly remove inappropriate slave links in update-alternatives even when
we switch to manual mode with --set or --config. Closes: #388313
* Modify update-alternatives to always remove the alternative group when the
last alternative is removed (even in manual mode).
* Ensure that update-alternative --install fix the links if the alternative
installed is the one currently selected. Closes: #100135
* Let update-alternatives deal with empty files in its administrative
directory by ignoring them. Closes: #457863
* Add new --target and --as-root options to dpkg-buildpackage to call
any debian/rules target with the proper build environment.
Closes: #477916
* Move update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride to /usr/bin
but keep compatibility symlinks in /usr/sbin for the squeeze release
until all maintainer scripts are fixed (see
http://lintian. debian. org/tags/ command- with-path- in-maintainer- script. html).
Closes: #216606
* Use dh_lintian to install lintian overrides. Build-Depends on debhelper
(>= 6.0.7) for this. Update debhelper compatility level to 6 at the same
time.
* Drop cleanup-info script.
* Reset umask to 0022 in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols to ensure that
files created in the DEBIAN directory have sane permissions.
Closes: #516481
* Rewrite update-alternatives (so that we can understand it again) and
implement new features on top of it:
- the --config output is now sorted. Closes: #437060
- it now logs information to /var/log/dpkg.log. Closes: #445270
- it forbids reusing master alternative as slave and vice-versa.
Closes: #342566
- it forbids reusing alternative links managed by other alternatives
- new sanity checks on --install parameters. Closes: #423176
- install slave link only if the corresponding slave file is available.
Closes: #143701
- new option --get-selections to export the configuration of all
alternatives. It's a simple way to discover the name of all available
alternatives. Closes: #273406, #392429
- new option --set-selections to reconfigure a set of alternatives in
a single command.
* Document in update-alternatives( 8) how one can repair all broken
alternatives with a single command. Closes: #250258, #395556
* Modify dpkg-gensymbols to replace #PACKAGE# on the fly while installing
symbols files so that package having libraries whose name varies between
architectures do not need to hardcode the package name. Closes: #517264[ Pierre Habouzit ]

Thanks to Pascal De Vuyst <email address hidden>. Closes: #510755
* Do not lose conffiles while replacing them from another package on the
same install run. Closes: #513857
As a side effect this fixes the following symptoms:
- Do not do unneeded conffile prompts when it wasn't locally changed.
- Do not ensure (and thus do not output debug information) that the
.dpkg-new and .dpkg-tmp directories for an existing directory do not
exist. Closes: #80416[ Raphael Hertzog ]
