Split out a readline-doc package for documentation and examples.
Closes: #749168.

21. By Matthias Klose on 2014-08-03

* Apply upstream patches 001 - 006. Fixes:
  - The `.' command in vi mode cannot undo multi-key commands beginning with
    `c', `d', and `y' (command plus motion specifier).
  - When in callback mode, some readline commands can cause readline to
    segfault by passing invalid contexts to callback functions.
  - There are debugging functions in the readline release that are
    theoretically exploitable as security problems.
    They are not public functions, but have global linkage.
  - The signal handling changes to bash and readline (to avoid running any
    code in a signal handler context) cause the cursor to be placed on the
    wrong line of a multi-line command after a ^C interrupts editing.
  - There are still applications using the deprecated Function/VFunction/etc.
    typedefs in rltypedefs.h. This patch restores the typedefs, but attempts
    to mark them as deprecated using gcc/clang attributes.
  - Using reverse-i-search when horizontal scrolling is enabled does not
    redisplay the entire line containing the successful search results.
* Remove local patches included in the upstream updates.
* Apply upstream bash patch bash43-021:
  - When the readline `revert-all-at-newline' option is set, pressing newline
    when the current line is one retrieved from history results in a double
    free and a segmentation fault.
* Add home code for rxvt in inputrc. Closes: #722087.

Really apply the patch to fix the display issue when a multiline
command is aborted with ^C. Closes: #743603.

18. By Matthias Klose on 2014-03-19

Fix an issue in vi-mode, not re-doing the latest "dw", "dl", "D", ...
commands.

* readline 6.3 release.
* Update symbols files.

16. By David Prévot <email address hidden> on 2012-12-30

* Non-maintainer upload.
* Remove non DFSG-compliant files from source:
  doc/{history,rlman,rluserman,readline}.{dvi,html,info,pdf,ps,texi}.
  rluserman thus removed from /usr/share/info/ in readline-common and
  history and readline also removed from /usr/share/info/ in
  libreadline6-dev. Closes: #695784.

* Apply upstream patches 002 - 004. Fixes:
  - The readline shared library helper script needs to be updated for
    Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion, darwin11).
  - A change between readline-6.1 and readline-6.2 to prevent the readline
    input hook from being called too frequently had the side effect of
    causing delays when reading pasted input on systems such as Mac OS X.
    This patch fixes those delays while retaining the readline-6.2 behavior.
    Closes: #687100.
  - Attempting to redo (using `.') the vi editing mode `cc', `dd', or `yy'
    commands leads to an infinite loop.
* Make examples Makefile Multi-Arch installable (Shawn Landden).
  Closes: #670030.
* Fix building with -Wformat-security, and pass CPPFLAGS (Simon Ruderich).
  Closes: #687717.

* Use dpkg-buildflags to set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.
