14. By Colin Watson on 2015-06-25

Rebuild against libnettle6.

13. By Ian Jackson on 2014-12-21

Copyright licencing fixes:
* nntpid: Provice actual licence (dual MIT/GPL3+). Closes:#773650.
* git-cache-proxy: Mention in debian/copyright.
* git-cache-proxy: Update copyright year list to include 2014.

12. By Ian Jackson on 2014-10-26

Safety and convenience fix:
* Redact command name characters outside 33-126.

Portability fixes for platforms where we can't build acctdump:
* Do not build on platforms with no <sys/acct.h>

Portability fixes for acctdump on kFreeBSD:
* Use different struct acct, and different headers, on different
  platforms.
* Tolerate lack of ac_exitcode.
* Tolerate lack of ac_minflt and ac_majflt (and use %lu as is right).
* Tolerate variation in ac_flag field name, and, to an extent, value.
* Print ac_mem and ac_io if available.
* Together, the above: Closes:#766913.

11. By Ian Jackson on 2014-10-26

New utilities:
acctdump. (Imported from CVS and chiark by Jonathan Amery.)

10. By Ian Jackson on 2014-07-28

Bugfixes:
* expire-iso8601: Fix mistake in usage message.
* git-cache-proxy: Fix various bugs in housekeeping. Fixes a bug
  where a particular cache dir could become `Not a git repository.

9. By Ian Jackson on 2013-11-29

New utilities:
* xduplic-copier. Closes:#727223.
* git-cache-proxy.

New features:
* random-word: -F<n> option for using only first <n> lines of source file.

Bugfixes:
* Make xbatmon-simple tolerate the lack of "type" in power supply uevent
  fields, by guessing the type from the presence or absence of "present"
  (which appears for batteries) and "online" (which appears for mains).
  Closes: #689134.

Documentation improvements:
* really: Add "danger!" warning to usage message description of -R.
* really: Document -R option in the manpage. Closes:#693354.
* really: Document need to be in the "root" group as well. (This is
  better than removing the restriction, because it would be dangerous to
  relax this security barrier in existing deployments.) Closes:#693356.
* watershed; Provide -h and --help options. Closes:#659989.

Build and portability fixes:
* cprogs: Saner build runes when extra libs or objs needed.
* cprogs: Honour CMDLINE_CFLAGS, CMDLINE_CPPFLAGS, CMDLINE_LDFLAGS.
* debian/rules: use dpkg-buildflags and pass to Makefile.
* cprogs/Makefile: clean deletes $PROGRAMS
* random-word: Some perl-mode emacs formatting glitch workarounds.
* random-word: use strict; -w.
* cprogs/usr-local-src-misc-Makefile: Remove ancient cruft file.

8. By Ian Jackson on 2012-06-10

* Rename `xacpi-simple' to `xbatmon-simple':
  - rename source file
  - change program name in Makefiles, .gitignore, rules, etc.
  - change program's idea of its own name for usage message
  - look for X resources under both old ane new names
  - provide a compatibility symlink (using dh_link)

7. By Ian Jackson on 2012-06-07

xacpi-simple improvements:
* Better parsing of boolean -debug option.
* Support -into, -iconic and -withdrawn options.

Packaging fix:
* debian/rules clean removes various sv-* and dh log files.

6. By Ian Jackson on 2012-06-06

Bugfixes to programs:
* xacpi-simple updated:
  - Now works with recent kernels by reading /sys/class/power_supply
    (so is now misnamed, since that may or may not come from acpi).
    Closes: #635242.
  - Copes both with batteries which report charge/current and ones which
    report energy/power.
  - Copes with batteries which are not full, charging or discharging
    (eg, if the system is on a/c but battery charging is suppressed).
  - Shows red when time remaining is less than 5 minutes (configurable)
    rather than trying to use "alarm" value from /sys/class/power_supply
    (which is not very predictable or reliable).
  - Option -debug produces some debugging output.
  - In the code, rename pix_... variables to be named after the meaning
    rather than the default colour.
* chiark-backup's /etc/chiark-backup/snap/nosnap is now more careful
  about rm vs. rmdir of its link/mountpoint/whatever.

Documentation and description improvements:
* watershed now installs its head doc comment in
  /usr/share/doc/chiark-utils-bin/watershed.txt.
  This is apropos of #659989 but is of course not a proper fix.
* Mention rcopy-repeatedly in the Description.

User-visible packaging improvements:
* chiark-backup Suggests chiark-utils-bin, not the nonexistent
  chiark-cprogs (for `summer').

Other packaging and source code improvements:
* Provide build-arch and build-indep debian/rules targets.
* Fix the type of a callback function passed to scandir, to expect
  struct dirent**'s rather than void*'s.
* Add -Wno-pointer-sign to gcc warning options.
* Add ${misc:Depends} to Depends: lines. Causes no change to the .debs.
* Switch to git. Move .cvsignores to .gitignore, etc.
* Update my email address.

* Non-maintainer upload.
* Fix "file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile /etc/chiark- backup/snap/nosnap"
  by adding /etc/chiark-backup/snap/nosnap to debian/chiark-
  backup/conffiles (closes: #553560).
