[ Julien Cristau ]
* Drop Pre-Depends on x11-common (only needed for upgrades from the
  monolith) and Replaces on xlibs-static-dev (hasn't existed in forever).

[ Cyril Brulebois ]
* New upstream release:
  - LZW decompress: fix for CVE-2011-2895. From the commit message:
    “Specially crafted LZW stream can crash an application using libXfont
     that is used to open untrusted font files. With X server, this may
     allow privilege escalation when exploited.”
* Set urgency to “high” accordingly.
* Update debian/copyright from upstream COPYING.
* Bump xorg-sgml-doctools build-dep.
* Drop xorg.css from .install, no longer shipped upstream.

27. By Cyril Brulebois on 2011-02-05

Upload to unstable.

26. By Cyril Brulebois on 2010-11-19

* New upstream release.
* Bump xutils-dev build-dep for new macros.
* Add xmlto, xorg-sgml-doctools, and w3m build-dep for the doc.
* Pass --with-xmlto and --without-fop for the regular build (we want
  html and txt only). Disable both for the udeb build.
* Tweak doc filenames, and handle that through dh_install.
* Add --fail-missing -XlibXfont.la for the second dh_install call (the
  udeb one), for additional safety.

25. By Julien Cristau on 2010-07-07

* New upstream release.
* Bump xutils-dev build-dep for new xorg-macros.
* Bump shlibs for register_fpe_functions().
* Update debian/copyright.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.0, no changes.

24. By Cyril Brulebois on 2010-03-10

[ Julien Cristau ]
* Rename the build directory to not include DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE for no
  good reason. Thanks, Colin Watson!
* Remove myself from Uploaders

[ Cyril Brulebois ]
* Use dh_makeshlibs’s -V argument instead of debian/libxfont1.shlibs
* Add udeb needed for the graphical installer: libxfont1-udeb.
* Version the B-D on libfontenc-dev to ensure libxfont1-udeb gets a
  dependency on libfontenc1-udeb.
* Use a bzip2-less flavour for the udeb.
* Bump Standards-Version from 3.8.3 to 3.8.4 (no changes needed).
* Fix obsolete-relation-form-in-source by using “<<” instead of “<” for
  xprint in Conflicts, thanks to lintian.
* Add myself to Uploaders.

23. By Julien Cristau on 2009-12-02

* New upstream release.
* Bump xutils-dev build-dep for new util-macros.
* Build documentation, install it in libxfont-dev.
* Enable support for bzip2 compressed bitmap fonts.
* Don't use LDFLAGS from the environment. Ubuntu sets that to
  -Bsymbolic-functions, which breaks libXfont's weak symbols usage.

22. By StefanPotyra on 2009-05-09

* Rebase to unstable, remaining change:
  + debian/rules: unset LDFLAGS to not be hit by -Bsymbolic-functions,
    as libxfont contains weak symbols which are meant to be overriden
    (cf. LP #226156).
