* debian/rules, fglrx.{preinst|postinst|prerm|postrm}:
  - Add Canonical copyright in the scripts.
* debian/AUTHORS:
  - Make it clear that the AUTHORS file refers only to the packaging
    scripts.

68. By Alberto Milone on 2011-04-22

* debian/rules, debian/README.debian:
  - Regenerate debian/copyright automatically using AMD's EULA as a base.
    This allows us to always have the latest EULA in the copyright file.
    The file is created by concatenating copyright_stub_0, the EULA and
    copyright_stub_1. This process is documented in the README.
  - Install the authors list in the docs.
  - Mention in the README the OBSOLETE_BY option in dkms.conf.

67. By Alberto Milone on 2011-04-15

* debian/dkms.conf.in:
  - Prevent DKMS builds with kernels newer 2.6.38.
* debian/fglrx-dev.links:
  - Remove links to libfglrx_pp.so and libfglrx_tvout.so since we
    don't ship these libraries any more.
* debian/rules:
  - Get rid of add-fglrx-prefix or remove-fglrx-prefix targets.

66. By Alberto Milone on 2011-03-29

* New upstream release 8.84.6 (LP: #709505).
* debian/control:
  - Bump build-dep on xserver-xorg-dev to >= 2:1.10.0.
* debian/dkms.conf.in:
  - Do not use add-compatibility-with-2.6.36-kernels.patch and
    fglrx-2.6.37.patch use-cflags_module-together-with-modflags.patch
    any more.
* fglrx.install.in:
  - Look for libglx.so and libGL.so in their new location.
  - Make sure to install only libGL.so*.
* debian/fglrx.postinst:
  - Add missing slave link to amdupdaterandrconfig.
* debian/rules:
  - Switch back to automatic ABI dependency generation.
  - Avoid accidentally copying the whole fglrx directory.
  - Rename fglrx-libGL.so and fglrx-libglx.so.

65. By Alberto Milone on 2011-02-28

* debian/control:
  - Depend on ${xviddriver:Depends}.
* debian/rules:
  - Manually set video ABI compatibility to 8 so that the driver is not
    installable in applications such as Jockey or manually.

64. By Alberto Milone on 2011-01-03

* debian/fglrx.grub-gfxpayload:
  - Add a commented out line in the file so as to fix FTBFS.

63. By Alberto Milone on 2011-01-03

* New upstream release 8.801 (10-12).
* debian/control:
  - Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser.
* debian/fglrx.postrm:
  - Do not remove diversions. Those diversions were likely installed by older
    releases of the driver (since we don't use diversions any more). Any
    diversion should be removed in fglrx.preinst, as it's exactly where we
    remove all other diversions (LP: #566437).
* debian/fglrx.prerm:
  - Call dpkg-trigger with --by-package=$PACKAGE_NAME.
* Add support for blacklisting card ids from GRUB gfxpayload=keep:
  - In Natty gfxpayload=keep is set by default so as to provide a framebuffer
    early in the boot process. Some cards don't play nicely with it, therefore
    we need to blacklist them in a file. The format is a sequence of lines of
    the following form:
      vVENDORdDEVICEsvSUBVENDORsdSUBDEVICEbcBASECLASSscSUBCLASS
    Blacklist lines are regex-matched against a corresponding PCI ID string.
    In practice this means that you can replace any part of the ID string
    with .* to match anything.

62. By Martin Pitt on 2010-12-18

* Move from separate modalias file package to using a package header:
  - debian/control, debian/rules, debian/fglrx-modaliases.install: Drop
    fglrx-modaliases package.
  - debian/control: Add XB-Modaliases header and dh-modaliases build
    dependency.
  - debian/rules: Build the modalias list to debian/fglrx.modaliases, where
    dh_modaliases picks it up, and invoke dh_modaliases.
  - debian/control: Add Conflicts:/Replaces: fglrx-modaliases, so that the
    obsolete modaliases package gets cleaned up on upgrades.

61. By Robert Hooker on 2010-11-16

* Add fglrx-2.6.37.patch: Adds compatibility with 2.6.37 based kernels.
  (LP: #671868)
* debian/dkms.conf.in: Also apply add-compatibility-with-2.6.36-kernels.patch
  to later kernels.

60. By Alberto Milone on 2010-09-24

* debian/fglrx.postinst:
  - Call dpkg-trigger with "--by-package".
* Add add-compatibility-with-2.6.36-kernels.patch:
  - Fix build issues with 2.6.36 kernels.
* Add use-cflags_module-together-with-modflags.patch:
  - Fix build issues with kernels that don't have
    MODFLAGS and use CFLAGS_MODULE.
