7. By Cyril Brulebois on 2010-01-27

* New upstream release.
* Add modass/check-known-packages.sh to monitor module-related sources
  within suites. It takes an optional parameter, which controls where to
  keep a copy of the summary, if any.
* Remove obsolete packages from compliant.list accordingly:
   - affix-source
   - arla-modules-source
   - at76c503a-source
   - bcm4400-source
   - cipe-source
   - cryptoapi-core-source
   - cryptoloop-source
   - dazuko-source
   - ddrmat-source
   - drbd8-module-source
   - dvb-driver-source
   - e100-source
   - eagle-usb-modules-source
   - ftape-source
   - ftpfs-src
   - fuse-source
   - fwatch-modules-src
   - hostap-source
   - hubcot-source
   - i2c-source
   - ieee80211-source
   - ipw2100-source
   - ipw2200-source
   - linux-uvc-source
   - lm-sensors-source
   - loop-aes-ciphers-source
   - lufs-source
   - misdn-kernel-source
   - nozomi-source
   - ov511-source
   - plex86-kernel-src
   - ppscsi-source
   - qla2x00-source
   - realtime-lsm-source
   - shfs-source
   - spca5xx-source (Closes: #518144)
   - thinkpad-source
   - tidev-modules-source
   - translucency-source
   - tun-source
   - unicorn-source
   - unionfs-source
   - userlink-source
   - vaiostat-source
   - video4linux-nw802-source
   - wacom-kernel-source
   - xdslusb-source
   - xlibmesa-drm-src
* Add nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-source to compliant.list, as suggested
  by Krzesimir Nowak (Closes: #525061).
* Add support for recent kernels with utsrelease.h under
  include/generated/, thanks to Benoît Wallecan for both report and
  patch (Closes: #566487).
* As for the related Linux changes:
   - See #561569 reported against kernel-package, which in turn points
     to 9204595405 in linux-2.6.git, for compile.h
   - For utsrelease.h (the problem at hand here), that's 273b281fa2
     aka. v2.6.32-6501-g273b281.
* Bottom line: One probably wants to upgrade to this version if support
  for versions newer than 2.6.32 is needed.

6. By Cyril Brulebois on 2010-01-08

* New maintenance release.
* Improve upstream build system:
   - Tweak toplevel Makefile a bit.
   - Fix install target.
   - Replace $(prefix) with $(DESTDIR) in toplevel Makefile.
   - Adapt packaging now that toplevel Makefile is fixed.
   - Use wildcards to list *.po files.
   - Remove $(POFILES) from .PHONY line.
   - Improve po/Makefile to only rebuild when needed.
   - Use a $(LANGS) variable.
   - Kill various whitespaces.
   - Remove useless TODO directory.
   - Add --statistics to the msgfmt call to monitor the status of
     translations.
   - Chain “make -C po all” from “make all”.
   - Accordingly: No longer need to build and clean the translations
     from debian/rules.
* Improve upstream documentation:
   - Adjust all half-closed tags.
   - Harmonize tags: use all-lowercase.
   - Fix how SEE ALSO looks.
   - Generate index.html in the doc target.
   - Install index.html under /usr/share/doc/module-assistant.
   - Since both index.html and module-assistant.8 are generated, remove
     them from versioning and remove them in the clean target.
   - Replace kernel-headers with linux-headers everywhere.
* Improve Debian packaging:
   - Add a Depends: on bzip2 (Closes: #443912, #443769). One could
     hesitate a bit between Recommends and Depends but well, bzip2 isn't
     a huge package, and a majority of modules is shipped through bzip2
     tarballs, so let's make it mandatory.
   - Fix dh_installdeb/dh_installmodules order in templates. Thanks to
     John Wright for both the bug and the patch (Closes: #463488).
   - Switch section from misc to kernel, as agreed with ftpmasters.
   - Tweak prepare-changelog target to support overriding $(LAST).
   - Remove the useless dpkg-parsechangelog trick.
   - Add docbook-utils to Build-Depends for docbook2man.
   - Set LC_ALL=C in debian/rules, rather than LANG=C.

5. By Cyril Brulebois on 2009-04-20

* New maintenance release.
* Switch to debhelper 7.
* debian/changelog:
   - Clean it up.
* debian/control:
   - Drop ${shlibs:Depends}, add ${misc:Depends}.
   - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no changes needed).
   - Add pointers to the git repository on alioth.
* debian/copyright:
   - Fix upstream source URL.
   - Switch to the proposed copyright format.
* debian/rules:
   - Delete commented lines in rules file.
   - Remove unused CFLAGS and INSTALL_PROGRAM.
   - Remove unused configure* things.
   - Stop ignoring $(MAKE) clean errors.
   - Rephrase the $(MAKE) -C po call.
   - Move templates tarball generation to build-stamp.
   - Stop setting SHELL to bash.
   - Stop deleting .svn files, there's none.
   - Remove -Xvar/cache/modass from dh_fixperms (useless).
   - Implement source-package target.
   - Add a prepare-changelog target.
   - Add a pristine-tar-commit target.
   - Set LANG=C.
* debian/README.source:
   - Add it to document extra targets.
* debian/* (debhelper) files:
   - Use examples, dirs, install, links, and manpages files.

4. By Cyril Brulebois on 2009-03-24

* Update compliant.list:
   - Remove nvidia-kernel-legacy-source (only in oldstable).

  thanks to Jö Fahlke (Closes: #410577).
* Fix broken references to nvidia (it is now nvidia-kernel) in the
  manpage, thanks to Hamish Moffatt (Closes: #416019).
* Include Basque translation, by Piarres Beobide (Closes: #461356).
* Mention “m-a” in the long description, as suggested by Franklin Piat
  (Closes: #475384).

3. By Sean Finney <email address hidden> on 2008-01-17

* NMU prepared after consultation with the package maintainer.
* Name change nvidia-kernel-source -> nvidia-kernel (closes: #459862).

2. By Eduard Bloch on 2006-11-15

* nvidia-kernel-legacy ->nvidia-kernel-legacy-source (closes: #398512, #396491)
* deleting VERSION from environment in the frontend, to avoid interaction
  with that var on users machines (closes: #396299)
* moved RATIONALY to README, created a simple structure for better
  readability, added Marc Haber's KVERS description to glossary
  (closes: #396488)

1. By Eduard Bloch on 2004-05-08

* better printout of the log file location, also noted in the manpage
* generic.mk: work arounds for having epoch number in both, kernel and
  package revision. Also made it expect "cosmetic" filenames (without
  epochs) for the package files
