6. By Peter Samuelson <email address hidden> on 2011-09-30

* Upgrade to Policy 3.9.2 - no changes.
* Upgrade to source format 1.0 - no changes.
* Support Breaks. (Closes: #571638)
* Move up to debhelper 7. (Closes: #624175)
* Fix 'Files:' option to expect an install _directory_. (Closes: #636310)
* Let 'Source:' field default to package name but be overridable.
  Based on patch from era erickson. (Closes: #409557)
* Improve option handling: allow equivs-build --arch and --full to work
  together. Previously, with --full, --arch had no effect.

* Acknowledge NMU, thanks Zack.
* Also thanks Tomáš Pospíšek for several patches.
* Use dpkg-buildpackage instead of debuild; drop devscripts dependency.
  (Closes: #475936)
* Stop specifying debhelper >=4, redundant in this day and age. At the
  same time, I don't see the point in specifying a higher compat level.
* Update and improve package description somewhat. (Closes: #464871)
* Document including multiple files via the "Files:" field:
  manpage (Closes: #565897), template file (Closes: #464888).
* Allow +x bit to be specified on File: line. (Closes: #535622)
* Preserve +x bit for files in Files: section. (Closes: #535623)
* Allow Homepage field. (Closes: #502395)
* Fix Makefile pod2man rule. (Closes: #364620)
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no changes).
* Honor $DEBEMAIL, $EMAIL, $DEBFULLNAME, and /etc/mailname for the
  default maintainer address.

* Non-maintainer upload.
* equivs-build: add support for adding arbitrary extra files to a package.
  Thanks to Anthony Towns for the patch (closes: #449542)
* equivs-build.pod: document the new "Files:" and "File:" fields
* debian/control: bump Standards-Version to 3.7.3, no changes needed
* debian/control: move debhelper dependency to Build-Depends, so that it is
  available upon clean

3. By Peter Samuelson <email address hidden> on 2006-02-28

* New maintainer. (Closes: #350835)
* Acknowledge NMU. (Closes: #201852, #218443, #237963, #251547)
* Add file COPYING, the GNU GPL v2, to top level of source tree.
* Update both build-time and runtime use of debhelper to v4.
  (Closes: #320619)
* debian/copyright, debian/rules: cleanups
* debian/control:
  - standards version 3.6.2 (no changes needed)
  - rewrite description
  - drop 'perl5' alternative dependency; the perl5 package disappeared
    about 3 release cycles ago
* template/debian/copyright: update FSF address.
* template/debian/control.in: edit description, set maintainer to
  root@localhost, update standards version, add correct debhelper
  Build-Depends
* template/debian/rules: streamline somewhat.
* equivs-build: support Replaces: field. (Closes: #118526)
* equivs-build, template/debian/README.Debian.in:
  use "@" instead of the ISO-8859-1 section symbol for the variable
  escapes, to make life slightly easier for users of other charsets.
  - equivs-build.pod: update (and fix) the documentation for this
* equivs-build: allow comments in control file.
  - template.ctl: comment out most of the entries, to save the user some
    time in common cases. Also mention that packages lists are all
    comma-separated.
* equivs-build: Lots of code cleanups. Highlights:
  - Use File::Temp::tempdir. This removes the dir upon normal exit. On
    abend, tell the user where it is so she can examine and remove it.
  - Print usage message to STDERR, not STDOUT
  - Actually bother to close all the files we open
  - die with "\n". I doubt users care about source code line numbers.
  - 3-arg open(), multi-arg system(), and in general try to look less
    like Perl 4
  - Delete outdated or useless comments, commented-out code, unneeded
    variables, and redundant integrity checks
  - Eliminate most use of global variables
  The net effect is to shrink the file by about 20%.

2. By Steve M. Robbins <email address hidden> on 2004-05-28

* Non-maintainer upload.

* equivs-build: fix operator precedence problem. Applied patch from
Mattia Dongili. Closes: #237963, 218443.

* debian/control: Tweaked the description message, removing the
misleading phrase "dummy package". Closes: #201852.

1. By Martin Bialasinski <email address hidden> on 2001-06-29

Added Preinst, Postinst, Prerm and Postrm entries to the control file
for usage with maintainerscripts. Closes: #101198
