* Improvements and portability fixes to start-stop-daemon:
- Abort if the system or compatibility setsid() fails.
- Do not exit from the first parent before the pidfile has been created,
when using --background and --make-pidfile, to avoid the race condition.
Based on a patch by Nir Soffer <nirs@hyperms.com>. Closes: #686420

Based on a patch by Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>. Closes: #758191
* Update restriction formula syntax for build profiles:
- Restriction lists are now restriction formulas.
- Restriction formulas are given in disjunctive normal form expression:
<foo> <bar baz> <blub>
- Removal of the implicit prefix/namespace mechanic.
- Construct the profiles entry of the Packages-List field by converting
the "<bar baz> <blub>" syntax into "bar,baz+blub".
- Include a temporary compatibility mapping with the old way to write
the Build-Profiles field in binary packages which can be removed once
all affected source packages have moved to the new syntax.
Thanks to Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>. Closes: #760158
* Normalize instdir in dpkg by removing trailing «/» and «/.». This gets
rid of several inconsistencies and doubled «/» in syscalls and output
messages.
* Never try to remove the root directory or its backups. There's no point in
it, and makes life more difficult for a read-only root with a read-write
overlay or a symlink farm. Requested by sepero111@gmx.com.
* Remove arbitrary filename limit from dpkg-deb, which was lifted some
time ago when the code switched to a dynamic string via varbuf.
* Do not pipe the files to sign from dpkg-buildpackage to GnuPG. When GnuPG
uses the gpg-agent it is unable to detect the correct tty configuration
if stdin is a pipe instead of the current terminal. Closes: #762391
* Add a new --hash option to enable generating only specific file checksums
in dpkg-scanpackages. Requested by Thorsten Glaser <tg@debian.org>.
* Add architecture restriction options for dpkg-architecture -L. This allows
selecting specific subsets of all valid known architectures, matching by
wildcard (-W), endianness (-E) or bits (-B). The restricting options can
be combined, or omitted altogether. Closes: #762635
* Say arch-wildcard instead of arch-alias in dpkg-architecture --help output.
* Test suite:
- Do not leave temporary files behind on failure or when interrupted.
- Add basic unit tests for the FNV hashing function.
- Add unit tests for the libdpkg tar extractor.
* Add --build and --extract command aliases to dpkg-source.
* Print file or package names instead of pointers in dpkg debug output,
to make it more meaningful and reproducible.
* Fix off-by-one error in libdpkg command argv size calculation.
Based on a patch by Bálint Réczey <balint@balintreczey.hu>. Closes: #760690
* Switch the libdpkg string hashing function from FNV-1 to the recommended
FNV-1a variant.
* Switch the dpkg files database string hashing function from what appears
to be a custom hash function to the libdpkg FNV-1a implementation. As a
side effect this fixes an integer overflow. Addresses: #760741
* Double the dpkg files database hash table size to the closest 2^18 prime.
Times have changed, and it's common to have at least these many files.
This reduces the amount of collisions.
* Document optional dpkg -C argument in --help output. Closes: #763000
* Consider a hardlink tar entry as a regular file for mode values, i.e.
assign to it S_IFREG instead of 0.

* Switch non-tty output to be line buffered by default, and set it to fully
buffered only for programs with precious and abundant output, not just

* Fix segfault in update-alternatives when adding or renaming slaves for

Closes: #731710
* Fix dpkg-maintscript-helper symlink_to_dir and dir_to_symlink commands:
- Always run postinst code regardless of prior-version, as the package
might have been never configured before.
- Be more strict when checking the expected state of paths.
- Rename subcommand shell code to check-files-ownership.
- Change dir_to_symlink switch code to use a staging empty directory,
to avoid dpkg removing files from other packages, when removing the
package old files during upgrade.
- Bump minimal version in man page to 1.17.5.

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Fix dpkg-genchanges to not include the additional upstream tarballs
when they are not desired (specific to source packages using format 3.0
quilt).
* Call quilt only once to apply all patches instead of once per patch
when building 3.0 (quilt) source packages. Closes: #518453
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps so that it works again when analyzing binaries
outside of package's directory. Closes: #518687
* Modify dpkg-shlibdeps to let shlibs.local override symbols files too.
* Drop support of debian/control's “Format†field used by dpkg-source while
it's not too late. Instead debian/source/format should be used to indicate
the desired source package format.
* Update deb-triggers(5) and dpkg-trigger(1) to add a reference to
/usr/share/doc/dpkg/triggers.txt.gz. Closes: #519717
* Avoid perl warnings in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges when the
Architecture field is missing in a binary package. Closes: #510282
* Modify Dpkg::Version::check_version() to not die by default.
Closes: #510615
* dpkg-source now ignores all possible vi swap file extensions (and not
only .swp). The corresponding exclude pattern for -I also got tightened to
only catch filenames starting with a dot. Closes: #515540
* dpkg-gencontrol displays a better error message when an ORed dependency
is used in a union field like Conflicts, Replaces or Breaks.
Closes: #489238
* dpkg-source's signature check is now done with gpgv if possible and
timeouts if not completed within 10 seconds. Closes: #490929
When using gpg, use --no-default-keyring to be consistent with gpgv's
behaviour to not use the user's keyring. Closes: #440841
* Update dpkg-dev dependencies: Closes: #472942
- Move gnupg to Recommends. It's needed to sign .dsc and .changes.
- Add gpgv to Recommends. Useful to check signatures of extracted packages.
- Add debian-maintainers to Suggests. Together with debian-keyring they
contain all the GPG keys required to verify official Debian packages.
* Drop /etc/dpkg/origins as it's taken over by base-files (see #487437).
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to properly initialize a symbol-based dependency
even when some symbols are associated with a (fake) version "0". Such a
version means that the symbol has always existed in all versions of the
package.
* When dpkg delegates to dpkg-query or dpkg-deb to do the actual work, add
the "--" marker to explicitly document the end of options so that
arguments starting with a dash are not interpreted as options.

only spaces. Closes: #522787

with a "component" name containing dashes. Closes: #524376
* Fix dpkg-source to not complain on binary files that are ignored and are
not going to be included in the debian tarball of a "3.0 (quilt)" source
package. Closes: #524375
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no change required).
* Do not store usernames and group names in tarballs created by dpkg-source,
they are anyway ignored at unpack time. Closes: #523184
* Fix update-alternatives to not remove real files installed in place of
an alternative link when the corresponding alternative is fully removed.
Closes: #526538
* Add a new dpkg-vendor tool to query vendor information stored in
/etc/dpkg/origins. It can be used in debian/rules to enable different
behaviour depending on the current vendor at the time of the build.
Closes: #498380
Modify dpkg-buildpackage to not set the DEB_VENDOR environment variable,
packages should use the dpkg-vendor program instead.
* Ensure that the automatic patch created in format "3.0 (quilt)" is always
well registered with quilt even when it's updated by a new call to
dpkg-source. Thanks to Goswin von Brederlow for the initial patch.
Closes: #525858
* Do not update/create debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied during build,
it's only meant to document what patches have been applied at extraction
time. Closes: #525835

* Things should mostly work OpenBSD 2.8 as well now
* Added a --status-pipe option.
* Fixed several memleaks.

available.
* various other speedups.

dpkg (1.4.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Modify tarobject() so it does not complain if we are creating a
directory that replaces a removed file. This works around the
problem that the filedatabase doesn't remember what filetype a
file was by assuming it already was a directory
-- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Mon, 31 May 1999 23:49:23 +0200
dpkg (1.4.1.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload
* Rebuild, so this is glibc2.1 (unless you're on m68k), which is rumoured
to also fix the i8n-problems.
* Incorporate 1.6 format of .changes, patch from Guy Maor
* Fix bug in section-handling of dpkg-scanpackages, patch from Guy Maor
* Disable force-overwrites again, since we're in unstable
* Assume largemem on systems for which sysinfo is not available, Bug# 33658

dpkg (1.4.0.31) unstable; urgency=low
* dpkg/processarc.c: Make newfileslist static like the other arguments
for register_cleanup's cu_* functions.
* N-th fix for controllib.pl (simulate old behavior by trying stdin,
stdout, and stderr for getlogin()).
* Enable --force-overwrite for slink release, and comment where to do
so (dpkg/main.c).
* Recompile against ncurses4.

dpkg (1.4.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
* dpkg-dev isn't allowed to have a Recommends: debian-keyring (as that's
in contrib), so it's now lowered to a Suggests: . Thanks to James Troup
for pointing this out.

dpkg (1.4.0.29) unstable; urgency=low
* For now, prefer PGP over GPG.
-- J.H.M. Dassen (Ray) <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl> Tue, 22 Sep 1998 09:38:09 +0200
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 (1.4.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
* REALLY fixed dpkg-dev, and new attempt to placate installer on internals.

dpkg (1.4.0.26.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Binary-only upload for x86 and fixed dpkg-dev
-- Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> Fri, 24 Jul 1998 15:58:04 -0400
dpkg (1.4.0.26) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Make --root work with maintainer scripts (Patch by Scott Barker,
bugs #4863 and #3170).
* Fix $(lispdir) bug if compiling without emacs (noticed by Joey Hess).
-- Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> Thu, 23 Jul 1998 12:02:04 -0400
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.)
-- Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> Tue, 21 Jul 1998 03:14:14 -0400

others. [#23542, part of #17409].
* dpkg/dpkg.8: replaced with a newer version from Jim Van Zandt
( run in 1.551 second using v1.01-cache-2.11-cpan-df04353d9ac )
