[ Magnus Holmgren ]
no_maxpathlen.patch: Half of the part of the patch modifying
compat/dirname.c was missing, causing libtar's dirname to always
return NULL (except in special circumstances). Actually make it work
(Closes: #745352). (The reason that libtar doesn't use libc's
dirname() and basename() on some or most platforms is that the code
doesn't work with destructive versions of these functions). (LP: #1315742)

* no_maxpathlen.patch: Fix two grave bugs in the patch. First,
  th_get_pathname would only allocate as much memory as was needed for
  the first filename encountered, causing heap corruption when/if
  encountering longer filenames later. Second, two variables were mixed
  up in tar_append_tree(). Also, fix a potential memory leak and trim
  the patch a bit.
* [SECURITY] CVE-2013-4420.patch: When the prefix field is in use, the
  safer_name_suffix() function should certainly be applied to the
  combination of it and the name field, not just on the name field.
* th_get_size-unsigned-int.patch: Make the th_get_size() macro cast the
  result from oct_to_int() to unsigned int. This is the right fix for
  bug #725938 on 64-bit systems, where a specially crafted tar file
  would not cause an integer overflow, but a memory allocation of almost
  16 exbibytes, which would certainly fail outright without harm.

* [SECURITY] New upstream release. Fixes CVE-2013-4397: Integer
  overflow (Closes: #725938).
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4.

10. By Magnus Holmgren on 2013-05-05

New upstream release.

9. By Magnus Holmgren on 2012-06-23

* New upstream: Chris Frey has stepped up with the consent of the
  original author, Mark Roth, and published an "official unofficial" git
  repo at http://repo.or.cz/w/libtar.git, which I will use for the time
  being.
* Updated debian/watch to look for tags and corresponding snapshot
  tarballs at above URL.
* All patches have been incorporated or (in the case of
  autoreconf.patch) made obsolete upstream.
* debian/rules: Add build-indep and build-arch targets.
* Updated debian/copyright.
* Use dpkg-buildflags to set CFLAGS et al.
* debian/control: Add VCS fields; bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3.

8. By Magnus Holmgren on 2011-04-24

* libtool.patch: Set SHELL to the configured shell in those Makefile.in
  where libtool is used; otherwise libtool fails when /bin/sh is dash
  but bash is expected (Closes: #621935).
* man_hyphen_minus.patch (new): Escape hyphens that should be minus
  signs in man pages.
* Rename libtar as libtar0 to follow policy.

7. By Magnus Holmgren on 2011-03-26

* New maintainer (Closes: #526618).
* Change source format to 3.0 (quilt), clean up Debian diff and split
  into several patches:
  * libtool.patch: Using libtool to build dynamic library;
  * autoreconf.patch: Changes needed to call autoreconf (bug 511741);
  * memleak.patch: Fix memory leaks;
  * bad_ptrtoint.patch: Document stupidity of tartype_t in libtar.c
    (bug 309945).
* Increase Debhelper compat level to 7.
* Use dh_autoreconf to avoid having to keep track of files to clean.
* memleak2.patch (new): Applied instead of memleak.patch. Fix memory
  leak by making th_get_pathname() return a pointer to a static buffer
  instead of a pointer to a copy of a local buffer (LP: #41804).
* Add homepage field and watch file (in case there is ever a new
  upstream release).
* Upgrade to Standards-Version 3.9.1.

6. By Julien Danjou on 2009-05-02

Fix autotools usage (Closes: #511741)

5. By Julien Danjou on 2008-04-02

* New maintainer (Closes: #465889)
* Add missing binary-indep target in debian/rules (Closes: #395714)
* Use ${binary:Version} instead of Source-Version
* Bump standard version
* Switch to debhelper 5

4. By James A. Morrison on 2005-08-28

Always include the newest libtool.m4. (Closes: #313612)
