7. By Robert Luberda on 2011-03-04

* Applied a bit modified patch from Martin Pitt @ Ubuntu to remove dependency
  on perl (closes: #602919):
  + Scrollkeeper.pm: provide our own local dirname() function and use it
    instead of File::Basename;
  + InstallDocs.pm: use the `rm -r' and 'mkdir -p' programs instead of
    File::Path;
  + debian/rules: run dh_perl with '-d' to avoid perl dependency.

* Switch internal databases format from MLDBM to YAML and provide better
  error recovery from database corruption:
  + DB.pm: use YAML::Tiny module for storing our internal databases;
  + Util.pm: introduce Fatal() function and differentiate exit codes
    by type of error;
  + make the Fatal() function call
  + debian/control: switch dependency on libmdlbm-perl to libyaml-tiny-perl;
  + debian/postinst: try to recover for yaml files corruption by deleting
    them and re-spawning install-docs.

    strings (closes: #606475);

  + English messages cleanups;
  + mark more doc-base messages as translatable;
  + Update Polish translation of binary.

    that sections' components are separated by slash (closes: #578331);
  + add the `Network/Remote Access' section (closes: #555161);
  + the Network section has two levels, not three (closes: #615488).

* Don't create scrollkeeper files when rarian-compat is not installed
  (closes: #419745)
  + debian/triggers: interest on /usr/share/doc/rarian-compat to be
    notified of installs/removals of rarian-compat
* DocBaseFile.pm: fix `no valid Format found' check.
* Scrollkeeper.pm: avoid `unsuccessful stat on file contains new line'
  warnings given by perl (closes: #607498, #614330).

* Ubuntu bugs handling:
  + install-docs.in: check if the Pod::Usage module is available before
    using it (LP: #431270, #510976);
  + this version gets rid of MLDBM and provides a better handling of
    databases corruption, to prevent `read error' bugs
    (LP: #695319, #675069, #672364, #668856, #652102, #621345);
  + debian/prerm: downgrade the `cannot find install-docs on path' error
    to a warning to make it possible to remove doc-base when install-docs
    is not available for some reason (LP: #391464);
  + the `/usr/share/doc-base/data/doc-base.map' file is provided in the
    package, it must have been deleted either manually or by filesystem
    error (LP: #660345, #646629);
  + close bugs that are duplicates of Debian bug#501874, fixed in 0.8.18
    (LP: #247718, #249160, #250252, #314996, #327101, #327104).

* debian/rules: switch to the tiny format from debhelper and add support for
  build-arch and build-indep targets.

  + sort dependency fields with wrap-and-sort from the
    ubuntu-dev-tools package;

  + drop versioned dependency on dpkg;
  + Standards-Version: 3.9.1.
