* New upstream release.
* Enable hardened build using debhelper 9.
* Standards-Version 3.9.3, no further change required.

17. By Stephen Kitt on 2011-09-08

* New upstream release:
  - Splits the udev rules for w8001 devices so that the correct baud
    rate is used. Closes: #632961.
  - Documents the conflict with xserver-xorg-input-wacom.
  - Creates /var/lib/joystick/ if necessary. Closes: #632623.
  - inputattach avoids resetting the line discipline if the device is
    already in use. Closes: #630173.
* Remove braces in joystick.install.

* New upstream release:
  - Handles other retry errors correctly (thanks to Alexander Clouter
    for the patch). Closes: #631608.

15. By Kees Cook on 2011-05-19

debian/patches/retry-eintr.patch: do not shutdown when receiving
restartable signals.

14. By Stephen Kitt on 2011-04-04

* New upstream version:
  - Builds with --as-needed. Closes: #607009.
  - inputattach supports W8001. Closes: #616443.
  - inputattach supports Zhen-Hua. LP: #648945.
* Drop all patches, merged upstream. Drop README.source explaining quilt
  usage, and --with-quilt directive to sh.
* Drop manpages, merged upstream.
* Drop store/restore tools, merged upstream.
* Rework udev rules:
  - provide agents to delay invoking inputattach or jscal-restore until
    they become available;
  - drop jskeepalive and use sleep instead to stop Acrux devices from
    going into a coma (as suggested by Oliver Neukum), for kernels prior
    to 2.6.39;
  - only apply the udev rules when adding devices (as suggested by
    Roberto Neri).
* Standards-Version 3.9.1, no change required.
* No longer ship evtest, its source is maintained separately (and will
  be removed from future upstream versions of joystick).

debian/patches/fix-as-needed.patch: Change linking order to
fix FTBFS with --as-needed.

12. By Stephen Kitt on 2010-07-11

* Use the correct maximum number of axes. LP: #595767.
* Small fixes to the manpages.
* Correct all remaining ioctl() checks. Closes: #587439.
* Explain the purpose of calibration and how to determine whether a
  joystick is calibrated. LP: #497835.
* Standards-Version 3.9.0: use Breaks rather than Conflits, and
  incidentally move the Breaks on dvb-utils to evtest where it really
  belongs.

evtest: flush standard output, thanks Florian Fainelli! Closes:
#581740.

10. By Stephen Kitt on 2009-10-12

* Handle the various buffer sizes expected in kernels 2.6.27 to 2.6.30.8
  (2.6.28 changed the value of KEY_MAX, which changed the definition of
  a joystick-related ioctl; 2.6.31 fixed the problem by handling any
  buffer size - see ec8b4b7085605e801a7740a2c3c33256aebe249c in the
  kernel git repository, which was also shipped in 2.6.30.8). Correctly
  closes: #536013. Thanks to Krzysztof A. Sobiecki for help determining
  the actual cause of the behaviour seen in jstest!
* Avoid treating positive return values from ioctl() as errors; kernels
  starting with 2.6.32 return buffer sizes in some cases (see
  999b874f4aa39b7abf45662ff0900f943ddb2d02 in the kernel git
  repository).
* Standards-Version 3.8.3, no change required.
* initscript stops in level 1 as well as 0 and 6. Note that the
  initscript will be going away soon, see #540680.

9. By Nathan Handler on 2008-11-06

* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes (LP: #294918):
  - Depend on inputattach, which is a separate package in Ubuntu.
