* d/p/fix-ftbfs-arm64.patch
  - Include asm/ptrace.h. A recent change to glibc removed asm/ptrace.h from
    user.h for AArch64. This meant that cross-native builds of gdbserver
    using trunk glibc broke because linux-aarch64-low.c because
    user_hwdebug_state couldn't be found.

* d/rules: fix FTBFS on newer dpkg changes.
  (Closes: #766754)
* d/sanitize-gdb.sh: Don't assume input is .tar.bz2

* d/p/restore-run.1.patch: Temporary patch to fix sim FTBFS.
  Turns out that without sim/common/run.1, sim fails to build.
  This doesn't have any cover texts or invariant sections,
  so in this patch we simply add it back.
  (It turns out that sim doesn't support x86.)
* d/sanitize-gdb.sh: In future, only strip manpages from gdb/ subtree.
* d/NEWS: Add warning about impending switch to Python 3

Fix FTBFS on non-x86 trying to install unbuilt libinproctrace.so

29. By Samuel Bronson on 2014-08-09

[ Héctor Orón Martínez ]
* d/changelog: replace nickname by real name in previous block

[ Gabriele Giacone ]
* Fix FTBFS on Hurd.
  + Cherry-pick from upstream:
    hurd-new-RPC-reply-stub-functions.patch
    hurd-adapt-to-changed-MIG-output.patch
    hurd-adjust-to-startup-with-shell-changes.patch
    hurd-make-MIG-output-parsing-more-robust.patch
  (Closes: #752574)

[ Samuel Bronson ]
* Ship /usr/lib/libinproctrace.so with gdbserver.
  This enables the "agent" features.
* d/copyright: correct a licensecheck error; add required license texts/blurbs
* d/gdb.install: Include gcore in gdb package (Closes: #752317).
  Thanks to Lorenzo Beretta for the report.
* New patch to fix the build on kFreeBSD.
  Thanks to Steven Chamberlain for a fix (Closes: #752390, #752295).
* d/watch: Update to be more flexible about upstream tarball format.

Last but not least,
* Use correct tarball, with non-free upstream manpages stripped.
  Restores DFSG-compliance.

[ Hector Oron ]
* Rename upstream tarball to not conflict with the one in archive.

[ Samuel Bronson ]
* Don't require Java stuff just to gather test results we don't look at.
* Disable babeltrace; it doesn't build everywhere.
  Thanks to Julien Cristau for the heads up.
* Go back to python2; it's causing people trouble and doko never
  actually explained the need.
  Thanks to Ben Longbons for the report and Jakub Wilk for corroborating it.
  (Closes: #748711, Reopens: #727003)

  - For a complete list and more details on each item, please see the
    NEWS file.
* Update patches for new upstream version:
  - Drop man-page-args.patch and man-page-order.patch:
    Manpages are dead to us now (not DFSG free), and the source is in
    texinfo now anyway.
  - Drop upstream-arm-catch-syscall.patch and
    upstream-print_insn_rl78-workaround.patch:
    Already applied upstream.
  - Update linuxthreads_signal_handling.patch and
    gdb-6.5-bz185337-resolve-tls-without-debuginfo-v2.patch
* d/gdb-minimal.manpages: Remove because manpages are dead to us
* d/rules:
  - Update for the new release.
    * Don't expect all tests to pass, they never do.
      ("make check" finally stopped lying?)
    * Adjust for "gcore" getting its source renamed and getting installed
  - Other improvements
    * Install contrib/ in /usr/share/doc/gdb/
    * Carry over more configure flags to secondary packages, so
      e.g. gdb-multiarch can find it's message catalogs
  - Nitpicks:
    * Replace a $(findstring ...) call with $(filter ...)
      (It's probably not all that likely that DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS would contain
      an item with nocheck as a substring, but still ...)
    * Use --disable-readline; we have our own ...
* d/control:
  - Update Vcs-Git/Vcs-Browser URLs
