dpkg (1.19.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Guillem Jover ]

    Suggested by Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au>.
  * libdpkg: Set LESS to “-FRSXMQ” if not already set, when spawning a pager.
  * libdpkg: Ignore SIGPIPE when setting up a pager, and then ignore EPIPE

    program will exit with an error code.

      module.

dpkg (1.13.13) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
  * dpkg and dselect are now in section admin, not section base.
    Correct info in the control file.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.6.2 (no changes).
  * Fix typo in dpkg-architecture man page. Closes: #334330
  * Honor LD_LIBRARY_PATH in dpkg-shlibdeps. Fixes a regression
    from 1.13.11 to .12.
  * Don't recurse into package directories to search for local
    shlibs files since it is obviously a waste of time. Based
    on a suggestion by Steve Langasek. Closes: #338725

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Updated translations:
    - Dutch (Bart Cornelis). Fix error mentioned in #323908 by
      Stephan Kramer.
    - Japanese (Kenshi Muto). Closes: #349808

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Fix typo in dpkg-statoverride manpage. Closes: #348113
    Thanks to Marc Haber <mh+debian-packages@zugschlus.de>.
  * Document the --no-debsig option in dpkg manpage. Closes: #316367
    Thanks to Bastian Kleineidam <calvin@debian.org>.
  * Fix typos in dselect manpage. Closes: #310358
    Thanks to A Costa <agcosta@gis.net>.

    Thanks to Zefram <zefram@fysh.org>. Closes: #174976
  * Make dpkg-architecture not print the warning about a mismatch between
    gcc target machine type and GNU target system type if the actions are
    '-e' or '-i'.

dpkg (1.13.12) experimental; urgency=low

  * Due to the changes in dpkg-shlibdeps it is not recommended
    to use this version for building packages intended to be
    uploaded into an official archive, yet.

  [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
  * Update AUTHORS and debian/copyright for new maintainer team.

  * Don't use the ldd output in dpkg-shlibdeps. Search for the
    matching libraries ourself. This fixes problems with both
    symlinked directories, Closes: #103024, #145714, #164020, #285857
    and biarch builds. Closes: #317082
  * Let dpkg-gencontrol bail out with an error if parsedep
    found an error while parsing a dependency field. Closes: #228125
  * dpkg-source -x now tries to chown all files extracted from
    tar files. The temporary directory is now created with mode
    0700, too. Together this should make it safer to run
    dpkg-source -x as root. Based on suggestions by Marcus
    Brinkmann and Colin Watson. Closes: #144571, #238460
  * Let dpkg-source -b check the build relation fields before
    putting them into the .dsc. As a side effect they also
    get normalized. Closes: #254449
  * Check the gpg signatures of .dsc files before unpacking. See
    the upstream changelog for a full description of the semantics.
    Based on a patch by Matt Zimmerman. Closes: #48711
  * Let dpkg-source ensure (as good as possible) that all
    build source packages can also be unpacked.
    Closes: #6820, #7014
    Also fixed handling of md5sum -b output in dpkg-source on
    the way. Based on a patch by Ingo Saitz. Closes: #316123
  * Check for illegal architecture strings in dpkg-gencontrol and
    dpkg-source. dpkg-gencontrol will only issue a warning while
    dpkg-source will error out. Closes: #96920
  * Add support "package types" to dpkg-shlibdeps. Patch by Joey Hess.
    Closes: #335056, #345475
  * Fix man page references to dpkg and dselect man pages. Many
    of them still had a wrong section.
    Closes: #332826
  * Let dpkg-source -b warn about special permissions of files added
    in the diff since these will get lost. Closes: #306125
  * dpkg-source -x didn't work in case the upstream version or
    the Debian version ended with ~. Fixed.

dpkg (1.4.0.29) unstable; urgency=low

  * For now, prefer PGP over GPG.

dpkg (1.4.0.28) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added gpg (GNU Privacy Guard) support:
    * scripts/buildpackage.sh: default to GPG (unless no GPG, but only a PGP
      secret key file is found), as GPG, unlike PGP, is DFSG-free.
    * Updated dpkg-source(1), and added gpg(1) and pgp(1) to the SEE ALSO
      section.
    * Worked around broken textmode implementation in GPG.
    * dpkg-dev now Suggests: gnupg .
  * No longer includes developer-keys.pgp . Instead, dpkg now Suggests: and
    dpkg-dev now Recommends: developer-keyring.
  * Compiled with latest libstdc++ (2.9).

dpkg (1.4.0.25) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.

  * Add the requested -nc option to dpkg-buildpackage (Do
    not clean source tree, useful in debugging cycles).
  * controllib.pl: Again by popular acclamation, fix the getlogin() warnings.
    I redirected STDERR onto fd 0 before calling getlogin().
  * tools.m4: Fix display of whether c++ works.
  * dpkg-deb/extract.c: glibc 2.1 and some kernels want to make
    fflush() move the current fpos.  Until someone can fix that,
    protect with seek.
  * Add an extra 0, to dselect/{pkg,meth}keys.cc so it compiles again.
  * Start using lchown() if available.
  * Really fix #20353. (aclocal.m4 was the wrong place; that's a generated
    file.  The correct place is in tl_canon.m4.)

    architecture specific packages in mostly architecture independent
    multi-binary source packages. [#14341, #20192].

  * doc/Makefile.am: remove any reference to the packaging manual, as it is
    now provided by the separate "packaging-manual" package.
  * doc/packaging.sgml: removed.
  * doc/developer-keys.pgp: updated to the current debian keyring.

  * aclocal.m4: applied patch from Joel Klecker <jk@espy.org> to handle
    egcs' --print-libgcc-file-name output. [#20353]

  * debian/copyright: correct FSF address.
  * debian/rules: add code from lesstif's debian/rules to make libtool
    less of a fool (i.e. not use -rpath and to link shared libraries
    against libraries it depends on).  Code by Richard Braakman
    <dark@xs4all.nl> and Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>.
  * debian/rules: remove all reference to the packaging manual as it is
    now provided by the separate "packaging-manual" package. [#21581,
    #21186, #22698, #23342]
  * debian/rules: link dpkg-divert.1.gz to undocumented.7.gz as the lack
    of a real manpage has been reported in #11093.
  * debian/README.compile: removed gawk and bogus comment about gettext
    being in experimental, as reported by Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>
    [#23344].  Added libpaperg (debiandoc2ps needs paperconf).
  * debian/shlibs.default.i386: updated for glibc, reported by Herbert Xu
    <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>. [#13140]
  * debian/control (dpkg-dev): depend on perl as POSIX (not a part of
    perl-base) is needed by most of the perl dpkg-* scripts, noticed by
    Joel Klecker <jk@espy.org>. [#22115]

    $origtargz.tmp-nest.
