11 * Parse start-stop-daemon usernames and groupnames starting with digits in
12 -u and -c correctly. Reported by Bodo Eggert <7eggert@online.de>.
13 * Always use the binary version for the .buildinfo filename in
14 dpkg-genbuildinfo. Reported by Raphaël Hertzog <hertzog@debian.org>.
15 Closes: #869236
16 * Fix integer overflow in deb(5) format version parser.
17 Closes: #868356
18 * Fix directory traversal with dpkg-deb --raw-extract, by guaranteeing
19 that the DEBIAN pathname does not exist. Closes: #879982
20 Reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@jwilk.net>.
21 * Do not try to recompute hashes for the .dsc file when signing binary-only
22 builds in dpkg-buildpackage. Reported by Ximin Luo <infinity0@debian.org>.
23 * Architecture support:
24 - Add support for riscv64 CPU. Closes: #822914
25 Thanks to Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <mafm@debian.org>
26 * Perl modules:
27 - Do not normalize args past a passthrough stop word in Dpkg::Getopt.
28 Some commands pass some arguments through to another command, and
29 those must not be normalized as that might break their invocation.
30 Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
31 * Documentation:
32 - Update buildinfo information in dpkg-buildpackage man page to match
33 the current implementation.
34 - Use correct name for archname validator value in dpkg(1) man page.
35 Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net.
36 - Update git URLs for move away from alioth.debian.org.
37 * Packaging:
38 - Add versioned Build-Depends on tar, due to the --clamp-mtime option
39 being used in Dpkg::Source::Archive which is used by dpkg-source,
40 used by the test suite. Closes: #877330

60 * Add missing symbols to the libdpkg map file.
61 * Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to preserve the Dpkg::Shlibs::find_library() order
62 when scanning symbols/shlibs files. This was causing generation of bogus
63 dependencies when multiple packages provide the same SONAME on different
64 directories. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.17. Closes: #860979
65 * Make dpkg-maintscript-helper print all unowned files from a directory
66 when printing the error message, to ease debugging those problems after
67 the fact. Closes: #813454, #860238
68 Based on a patch by Bastien ROUCARIÈS <roucaries.bastien@gmail.com>.
69 * Add duplicate prevention code for debian/files to dpkg-genbuildinfo, so
70 that successive runs with different versions and equivalent build types
71 do not generate multiple .buildinfo entries to be uploaded, which is
72 similar to what dpkg-gencontrol is doing for .deb files.
73 * Fix conffile takeover handling during unpack in dpkg on --root or
74 on diversions. Closes: #837051, #858004
75 * Fix digest inference for shared conffiles, causing bogus takeover
76 unpack errors. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.16.9. Closes: #861217
77 * Improve tar entry metadata parsing in dpkg:
78 - Do not parse device numbers for non block nor char tar entry objects.
79 - Make the existing octal parser more robust, by checking for the
80 expected format of leading zeros or spaces, followed by any ASCII
81 octal characters (0-7), followed by zero or more space or NULs.
82 - Add support for base-256 encoded numeric fields, to support large
83 values, for UID/GID, device number, size and even signed timestamps.
84 This is necessary not only to be able to store larger values, but to
85 cover packages that can already be generated by dpkg-deb, given that
86 it uses the system GNU tar when building. Closes: #850834
87 * Architecture support:
88 - Add support for ARM64 ILP32. Closes: #824742
89 Thanks to Wookey <wookey@wookware.org>.
90 * Perl modules:
91 - Remove obsolete hardening-wrapper support from Dpkg::Vendor::Ubuntu.
92 Thanks to Adam Conrad <adconrad@0c3.net>.
93 - Bump $Dpkg::Deps::VERSION to match the one documented in CHANGES.
94 - Ignore by default debian/files.new and debian/files for all source
95 formats in Dpkg::Source::Package, because these are generated files
96 with well known pathnames, part of the public interface, and with
97 dpkg-genbuildinfo always injecting .buildinfo entries into
98 debian/files, this meant this could disrupt previous workflows based
99 on not cleaning the source tree.
100 * Documentation:
101 - Many spelling fixes. Thanks to Josh Soref <jsoref@gmail.com>.
102 - Do not include mispellings in changelogs, as that makes detecting them
103 more difficult.
104 * Build system:
105 - Use libexec variable for auxiliary internal programs, and set it to
106 /usr/lib on Debian and derivatives.
107 - Check that the detected tar is a GNU tar.
108 - Check that the detected patch is a GNU patch, so that we get a directory
109 traversal resistant patch implementation. This fixes CVE-2017-8283 by
110 delegating those checks to patch(1), so that we trap blank-indented
111 diff hunks trying to escape from the source tree.
112 * Test suite:
113 - Add a test case for blank-indented patches which were the cause for
114 CVE-2017-8283.
115 - Handle files with non-zero sizes in c-tarextract libdpkg test code.

135 [ Guillem Jover ]
136 * Handle unmatched arch-qualified virtual packages in dpkg-genbuildinfo,
137 instead of letting perl die. Closes: #849944
138 * Declare .buildinfo format as stable with version 1.0.
139 * Do not depend on cxxabi.h to have declared __cxa_pure_virtual, use
140 the same “__cxxabiv1” namespace as specified in the C++ ABI, instead
141 of using the “abi” alias intended for use by userland.
142 Thanks to Jörg Sonnenberger <joerg@netbsd.org>.
143 * Add a comment on any C code switch case that falls through. Fixes new
144 gcc-7 warnings.
145 * Use snprintf() instead of sprintf() in libdpkg when constructing the ar
146 member header, as we might overflow depending on the input data.
147 * Portability:
148 - Do not redeclare sys_siglist in libcompat when the system does so.
149 Thanks to Thomas Klausner <wiz@NetBSD.org>.
150 - Rename err variable to ret in start-stop-daemon as the former is a
151 function on BSDs.
152 - Use 5-argument kvm_getprocs() call form on OpenBSD in start-stop-daemon.
153 - Use correct struct kinfo_proc ruid submember name on NetBSD in
154 start-stop-daemon.
155 - Define _KMEMUSER for NetBSD to get declarations for various
156 struct kinfo_proc members in start-stop-daemon.
157 * Perl modules:
158 - Do not special case EM_SPARC32PLUS for NetBSD in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump,
159 the code has been fixed in NetBSD as that situation could not happen.
160 - Fix read() error handling in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format() to
161 gracefully ignore non-ELF files again. Closes: #854536
162 - Emit an explicit warning from Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::Object::analyze()
163 for unknown executable formats instead of relying on objdump doing so.
164 - Do not parse bogus ELF binaries in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format().
165 Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>.
166 - Add ‘.mnt-ignore’ to the default ignore lists in Dpkg::Source::Package,
167 as we were already ignoring the ‘_MTN’ pathnames. Closes: #855450
168 Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez <nicolas@debian.org>.
169 - Mark kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, sparc and sparc64 architectures as
170 having gcc builtin PIE in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
171 - Switch PIE handling in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian to have no default (!) and
172 delegate the setting to gcc or an explicit request by a user. This is
173 needed to cope with the general PIE brokenness situation in Debian, and
174 the current specific brokenness of a Debian gcc patch mangling the dpkg
175 build flags. Closes: #848129, #845550
176 * Documentation:
177 - Clarify the requirements for deb-conffile(5) pathnames. Closes: #854417
178 Proposed by Dieter Adriaenssens <dieter.adriaenssens@gmail.com>.
179 - Document dpkg-source --before-build and --after-build in --help output.
180 - Document dpkg-buildpackage --ignore-builtin-builddeps in --help output.
181 * Build system:
182 - Check <sys/proc.h> by also including <sys/param.h>, on several BSD
183 systems the header is not self-contained.
184 - Handle libmd implementations built into system libc, as found on some
185 BSD systems.
186 - Do not fail on missing compression libraries or headers on automatic
187 detection mode. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.14.
188 * Test suite:
189 - Use the detected perl interpreter instead of a random one from PATH.

226 * Revert "Generate Testsuite-Restrictions fields from the test restrictions
227 in dpkg-source into .dsc files". This change is contentious and should
228 have been discussed more widely. Given that this has been live only for
229 a couple of days, the impact should be minimal, but still something to
230 take into account once and if this gets reintroduced. Closes: #852820
231 * Perl modules:
232 - Map alternative or old ELF machine types to canonical ones. We need
233 those to match on the encoded ABI, otherwise dpkg-shlibdeps will not
234 be able to find the objects.

244 * Add a new --no-sign option to dpkg-buildpackage, to make it possible to
245 disable all signing in a future-proof way.
246 * Make dpkg-buildpackage --unsigned-changes not sign .buildinfo either.
247 This breaks the expectations of users and tools, because there was no
248 way previously to request no signing at all. Closes: #852822
249 * Perl modules:
250 - Mask the machine bits for SH and MIPS in the ELF processor flags in
251 Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump. These do not define the ABI, and make the
252 objects not match when they should, when looking for shared libraries
253 from dpkg-shlibdeps.
254 - Encode the ELF ABI as a big-endian byte stream, so that decoding for
255 output gives meaningful results.
256 - Disable the NFS-unsafe warning on Linux, as using flock() on NFS has
257 been safe for some time now. Addresses: #677865 (on Linux)
258 * Documentation:
259 - Document the Built-For-Profile field in deb-changes(5).

272 * Stop emitting Built-For-Profiles from dpkg-gencontrol. The information
273 is already provided in .buildinfo and .changes files, and including it
274 in the binary packages makes them unreproducible even when the profile
275 used would not alter its contents. Closes: #831524
276 * Do not allow empty epochs and revisions in versions. When there's at
277 least one colon or one dash, we should expect epoch and revision numbers.
278 * Always set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-source. Use
279 the current date if the changelog does not have one. Closes: #849081
280 * Refactor update-alternatives pathname existence check into a new function.
281 * Avoid useless repeated lstat()s in update-alternatives.
282 * Only check for debian/tests/control file once in dpkg-source.
283 * Generate Testsuite-Restrictions fields from the test restrictions in
284 dpkg-source into .dsc files. Closes: #847926
285 Based on a patch by Iain Lane <laney@debian.org>.
286 * Improve the ELF ABI mismatch detector in dpkg-shlibdeps, by parsing the
287 ELF header ourselves. While still not perfect (things like linux-i386 and
288 hurd-i386 will still match), it will filter lots of previously matching
289 objects that should have been ignored, and will work even when objdump
290 does not know about the specific object details. Closes: #849913
291 * Add initial support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to dpkg-genbuildinfo. This will
292 make it possible to enable or disable specific features that should be
293 recorded in the .buildinfo file. For now only “all” and “path” are
294 supported. Closes: #848705
295 * Add again the architecture from the filename to .changes files for any
296 artifact with one. This reverts the change introduced in dpkg 1.18.11.
297 * Fold the filtering and checksumming of files to distribute in a .changes
298 file in dpkg-genchanges into the initial loop. This way we do not include
299 architectures for artifacts we are not going to distribute, and do not
300 unnecessarily recompute the checksums for artifacts like the sources.
301 * Do not compute the architecture list twice in dpkg-genchanges.
302 * Include .buildinfo files also for source-only uploads in dpkg-genchanges.
303 Closes: #846164
304 * Fix check for expected number of binary artifacts in dpkg-genchanges, to
305 only take into account the artifacts that we are distributing.
306 * Fix parsing of Pre-Depends and Depends in dpkg-genbuildinfo, so that
307 the code parses both and not just the first to appear in the stanza.
308 Based on a patch by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
309 * Add support for signed .buildinfo files to dpkg-buildpackage. Add new
310 -ui and --unsigned-buildinfo options. Closes: #843925
311 * Portability:
312 - On GNU/Hurd try to use the new process executable name attribute from
313 libps, to properly match on start-stop-daemon --exec.
314 * Perl modules:
315 - Fix Debian architecture wildcard parsing so that matching four-tuple
316 matchings work. Missed in dpkg 1.18.11.
317 Reported by Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org>.
318 - Add new import tags for Dpkg::Arch.
319 - Abort on EOF in patch name prompt in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2,
320 instead of getting into an infinite loop. Closes: #851441
321 - Call anonymous subs via -> operator instead of casting with &, and fix
322 bogus POD documentation to match the code.
323 - Add new Auto-Built-Package field to Dpkg::Control::Fields.
324 - Add a new debug() reporting function, and switch code to use it.
325 - Add new Dpkg::BuildOption parse_features() method refactored from
326 Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
327 * Documentation:
328 - Cleanup software requirements in README.
329 - Move control member file references from dpkg(1) to deb(5).
330 - Fix typos in docs and code comments.
331 - Document Auto-Built-Package field in deb-control(5).
332 * Build system:
333 - Disable disk pre-allocation by default, but let the builder re-enable
334 it via a new configure option. This has been causing major performance
335 issues on "modern" filesystems.
336 * Packaging:

405 * Add support for specifying multiple targets on «dpkg-buildpackage -T»

407 * Reject empty upstream versions in C and perl code. These are not permitted
408 by deb-version(5), but the code was letting those through.
409 * Use lzma_cputhreads() instead of sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) as the
410 former is way more portable.
411 * Automatically decrease xz encoder threads to try to not exceed available
412 memory limits. This should alleviated the insane requirements of memory
413 needed on 32-bit architectures with many cores, which results in more
414 than the userspace addressable memory, when using settings such as
415 -z9 and/or -Sextreme in dpkg-deb. Closes: #846564
416 * Add new dpkg --validate-<thing> commands to validate the syntax of
417 various <thing>s, where the current list is «pkgname», «trigname»,
418 «archname» and «version».
419 * Use the new dpkg --validate-version command in dpkg-maintscript-helper,
420 instead of abusing the --compare-versions command to perform version
421 validation. Closes: #844701
422 * Allow readlink(2) to return a size smaller than stat(2) in dpkg. Some
423 bogus filesystems do not return the actual symlink size in st_size,
424 which contradicts POSIX. But allowing the case where the returned size
425 is smaller than the one used to allocate memory is harmless, although
426 suspect. Let it through, but still print a warning so that users can
427 install stuff but are reminded they need to get a fixed filesystem in
428 place. This has affected at least ecryptfs in the past and now
429 file-based encryption support in ext4 on Android N.

469 do not support this combination and produce very bogus output.
470 Proposed by Szabolcs Nagy <nsz@port70.net>. Closes: #843714
471 * On source builds add 'source' to the Architecture field in the
472 .buildinfo file in dpkg-genbuildinfo.
473 * Add new Build-Date field to .buildinfo files.
474 * Generate deterministic .buildinfo filenames in dpkg-genbuildinfo,
475 following the same pattern as used for .changes files.
476 * Bump .buildinfo Format to version 0.2.
477 * Change dpkg-buildpackage -j and -J on “auto” mode to fallback to serial
478 execution when we cannot infer the number of online processors on
479 unsupported or exotic systems. This should be a safer mode of operation.

500 - Rename the spec name cc1_options to self_spec.
501 Suggested by James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com>
502 - Do not set PIE options if they have been negated, and do not reset
503 them if they have been requested.
504 Closes: #843791, #843826
505 * Fix use after free error in dpkg. It was trying to print messages that
506 had already been freed as part of the database memory pool, causing in
507 some cases segfaults when reporting the error summary at the end.
508 Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.11. Closes: #843874

542 - Retroactively document in the changelog that PIE is enabled by default
543 on all supported architectures regardless of gcc doing so itself on a
544 subset of them.
545 - When emitting PIE flags on architectures where gcc does not inject
546 those itself, do it via a specs file too, so that maintainers can
547 use them unconditionally regardless of the object being compiled
548 or linked.
549 - When injecting -no-pie for linking via the gcc specs file also
550 inject -fno-PIE.

602 * Shutdown the package database journal in dpkg --get-selections.
603 * Fix (deactivated) dpkg --command-fd to initialize and reset the files
604 database on each action.
605 * Implement source stanza substvars prefixed with S: in dpkg-gencontrol.
606 These auto-generated variables map each source stanza field into an
607 output substvar prefixed with “S:”.
608 * Make dpkg-source generate reproducible source packages when run
609 standalone, by honoring SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
610 * Fix several short-lived memory leaks in update-alternatives.
611 Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
612 * Only set the error context message in libdpkg if it has been formatted
613 correctly.
614 * Return error in error_context_errmsg_format() only if the error message
615 gets truncated. In case we have to use the emergency buffer because the
616 previous vasprintf() call failed, we should only return an error code if
617 the vsnprintf() call on the emergency buffer truncates the output.
618 * Fix free() on uninitialized pointer in error_context_errmsg_format() in
619 libdpkg. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.7. Closes: #842004
620 * Move C++ support code into its own file.
621 * Add replacement new and delete array operators to C++ support code.
622 * Implement local abi::__cxa_pure_virtual. When using g++ if we provide our
623 version of this function we can avoid the dependency on either libstdc++
624 or libsup++.
625 * Include missing <new> for new and delete operator declarations.
626 * Do not log nor print duplicate dpkg removal action. We print
627 “Removing <package> (<version>)” lines and log remove action twice
628 when purging a package from frontends, because they usually first call
629 --remove and then --purge sequentially. When purging a package which is
630 already in config-files (i.e. it has been removed before), do not print
631 nor log the remove action.

639 when printing to STDOUT (via -O).
640 * Do not add architectures to .changes Architecture field for artifacts
641 that are not a .deb or .udeb in dpkg-genchanges.
642 * Add support for .buildinfo files:
643 - Add new dpkg-genbuildinfo command.
644 - Hook it into the dpkg-buildpackage machinery.

648 filesystems. Closes: #838877
649 * Enable PIE on all supported architectures and handle PIE enabled by
650 default in gcc. On architectures where gcc enables them by default,
651 stop setting -fPIE and -pie, and set -fno-PIE and -no-pie when disabling
652 «pie» via gcc specs files, so that we do not emit them on situations
653 where it would be inappropriate. Closes: #835149
654 Based on a patch by Bálint Réczey <balint@balintreczey.hu>.
655 * Architecture support:
656 - Add support for AIX operating system.
657 - Add a version pseudo-field to the arch tables.
658 - Internally represent Debian architectures as quadruplets.
659 * Portability:
660 - Cast off_t variables to intmax_t when printing them with "%jd".
661 - Add missing <string.h> include in libdpkg.
662 - Cast strlen() return value to ssize_t to match write() return type.
663 - Use underscore-prefixed system preprocessor symbols instead of namespace
664 polluting ones (such as “linux”, “OPENBSD” or “hpux”).
665 - Handle _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING being defined to -1 or 0 in
666 start-stop-daemon. This affects Mac OS X.
667 - On FreeBSD return STATUS_UNKNOWN instead of false in start-stop-daemon
668 do_procinit().
669 - Port start-stop-daemon process handling to Mac OS X.
670 Based on a patch by Mo McRoberts <mo@nevali.net>.
671 - Port start-stop-daemon process handling to AIX.
672 - Fix lookup by name on update-alternatives --config. The code was wrong
673 and not working at least on Mac OS X, making the test suite to fail.
674 - Only use gzip --rsyncable in Dpkg::Compression on Debian and hopefully
675 derivatives, by using perl's $Config{cf_by} variable to key on. The
676 Debian-specific --rsyncable option should have never been accepted for
677 use in dpkg to begin with.
678 - Use our own dpkg_ar_hdr struct instead of relying on the system
679 ar_hdr struct, as the ar format is not standardized and does vary
680 across systems, for example on AIX.
681 - Add <sys/sysmacros.h> on AIX for major() and minor().
682 - Add missing <errno.h> in libcompat.
683 - Include libcompat getopt module when we need getopt_long.
684 - Disable gettext support in libcompat getopt module. We do not carry
685 translations for this module, and it makes it pull libintl for programs
686 that might not use it otherwise.
687 * Perl modules:
688 - Obsolete Source-Version substvar in Dpkg::Substvars by emitting errors.
689 - Rework keyring hooks in Dpkg::Vendor. Deprecate the keyrings hook, and

695 - Fix reproducible source package support in Dpkg::Source::Archive, by
696 sorting the tar contents with --sort=name.
697 - Prefix private Dpkg::Source::Package::* functions with _.
698 - Defer filehandle closures in Dpkg::IPC::spawn() to avoid double-close.
699 Closes: #839905, #840293
700 - Always map the build type to the shortest string form in

720 - Remove unused dh_strip from binary_indep target.
721 - Remove ancient upgrade code from maintainer scripts (before 1.15.x).
722 - Stop compressing the dpkg.deb package with gzip.
723 - Move dpkg to be the first binary package stanza in debian/control, as
724 debhelper assigns special meaning by considering it the main package.

739 - Add man page references to other binary control files in dpkg(1).
740 - Add version when "new" substvars were introduced in deb-substvars(5).
741 - Switch deb-triggers(5) types into a proper list.
742 - Itemize --log format entries in dpkg(1).
743 - Turn the update-alternatives(1) --query example item into a sub-section.
744 - Turn the Multi-Arch values into a list in deb-control(5).
745 - Improve user-defined field export marker documentation in
746 deb-src-control(5); clarify that X can be followed by zero or more
747 (instead of one or more) letters and turn the items into a proper list.
748 - Generate the man pages at build time. This makes it possible to process
749 them and update several variable strings such as system and package
750 pathnames, the release date and the dpkg suite version. And makes it
751 possible to use UTF-8 in the source and convert to the more conservative
752 groff escape sequences on the output.
753 - Switch from groff escape sequences to UTF-8 in man pages sources.
754 - Disable hyphenation in man pages globally, because it performs very
755 poorly on many technical terms.
756 - Append the German man pages addendum at the end of the translation,
757 instead of assuming that every page has the SEE ALSO section.
758 - Explicitly mention that Dpkg::Checksums::add_from_file() is used to
759 verify digests too. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.

761 methods. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.

765 coverage programs, as the file that actually contains the main function
766 is the test itself.
767 - Rename test suite commands to be prefixed with «c-» instead of «t-».
768 - Add new dpkg-source functional tests.
769 - Add new dpkg-buildpackage functional tests.
770 - Add an initial functional test suite for dpkg-deb and dpkg-split.
771 - Skip the involved tests if IO::String is missing.
772 - Add new unit test for libdpkg error handling.
773 - Delete MAKEFLAGS environment variable when testing make invocations.
774 - Pass -q to grep command to suppress matched output in pod-coverage.t.
775 - Ignore POD coverage for partially private modules.
776 * Build system:
777 - Add support for profiling perl modules.
778 - Clean up compiler and linker automatic flag usage in configure.
779 - Fix the __progname check to avoid the optimizer discarding the symbol.
780 - Fix M4sh/Autoconf coding style. Add a new section to coding-style.txt
781 describing M4sh/Autoconf.
782 - Disable C++ exceptions for dselect.
783 - Fix typo in SE Linux library detection code, only affecting static
784 mode (not used in Debian). Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.8.
785 - Change --with-* option logic to default to check.
786 - Disable -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare (for clang).
787 - Check the availability of -W<warning> variant instead of -Wno-<warning>.
788 As at least gcc and clang do not warn on -Wno-* warning flags, only
789 when some unrelated warning needs to be emitted.
790 - Bump po4a version to 0.43 (we are using --porefs wrap option).
791 - Add support for running the test suite in parallel.
792 - Specify exec argument for TAP::Harness to gracefully handle non-perl
793 executables with older versions of the module.
794 - Require libselinux 2.0.99 for baseline API, remove static linking
795 support, use pkg-config unconditionally, and perform refinement checks
796 only if available.
797 - Check for the required minimal perl version.
798 - Use builddir instead of CURDIR in man Makefile.am.
799 - Use cp with -R instead of -r (the former is more portable and not
800 marked as deprecated by POSIX).
801 - Print an actual newline instead of a literal \n in lcov output.
802 - Do not honor DPKG_DATADIR on the installed Dpkg module.
803 - Pass --as-needed to the linker for dselect to avoid libstdc++ dependency.
804 Which makes of dselect the only front-end not pulling the C++ run-time.

883 [ Guillem Jover ]
884 * Do not disable PIE buildflags on */kFreeBSD anymore. Closes: #823877
885 Thanks to Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>.
886 * Add new long options in dpkg-buildpackage for any short option that is
887 a useful configurable candidate.
888 * Add configuration file support to dpkg-buildpackage, as buildpackage.conf
889 under either the dpkg system or user configuration directories.
890 Closes: #539692, #765494
891 * Check that debian/tests/control is a regular file before parsing it.
892 * Generate Testsuite-Triggers field from test dependencies in dpkg-source
893 into .dsc files. Based on a patch by Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>.
894 Closes: #779559
895 * Add new dpkg-source --no-overwrite-dir extraction option. Closes: #826334
896 * Fix number of entries computation returned by sysctl() on */kFreeBSD in
897 start-stop-daemon.
898 * Set return buffer length for sysctl(2) calls on */kFreeBSD in
899 start-stop-daemon.
900 * Abstract ar archive handling behind a new struct dpkg_ar and functions.
901 * On dpkg --force-chrootless only set changedir to instdir if defined.
902 Thanks to Niall Walsh <niallwalsh@celtux.org>. Closes: #824542
903 * Set primary group to 0 in dpkg when running as root.
904 Reported by Stuart Prescott <stuart@debian.org>.
905 * Activate file triggers for conffiles on purge, which has never happened
906 before. Before dpkg 1.17.0, conffiles were triggered on removal, which
907 was obviously wrong. Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
908 * Fix strtol() errno check when parsing the COLUMNS envvar in dpkg-query.
909 Thanks to Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>. Closes: #827265
910 * Use new GNU tar --clamp-mtime option in dpkg-deb to make sure no file in
911 binary packages has an mtime later than the given time. Closes: #759886
912 * Use the same timestamp for the ar container as for tarball mtime clamping
913 in dpkg-deb.
914 * Set ar timestamp and tar mtime clamping to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if defined
915 in dpkg-deb. Based on a patch by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
916 * Preset build timestamp to latest changelog entry in dpkg-buildpackage,
917 by setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable if it is not already
918 defined. Based on a patch by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
919 Closes: #759999
920 * Do not use the debian/rules build target fallback when building both
921 architecture independent and dependent packages in dpkg-buildpackage.
922 * Use architecture «all» as part of the .changes filename when building
923 architecture independent binaries and no architecture dependent binaries.
924 Closes: #826161
925 * Do not emit warnings from dpkg-genchanges for automatic debug symbol
926 packages that are not found in debian/control.
927 * Export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from pkg-info.mk makefile snippet.
928 Closes: #824572
929 * Architecture support:
930 - Add TILE-Gx support to cputable. Closes: #823167
931 Thanks to Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
932 * Perl modules:
933 - Use warnings::warnif() instead of carp() for deprecated warnings.
934 - Add new format_range() method and deprecate dpkg() and rfc822() methods
935 in Dpkg::Changelog.
936 - Replace changelog program parsers with perl modules.
937 - Add a getter for the Time::Piece object in Dpkg::Changelog.
938 - Add new Timestamp field to Dpkg::Changelog output, which ends up on
939 dpkg-parsechangelog's output.
940 - Validate source version in set_version_substvars()'s Dpkg::Substvars
941 method.
942 - Revert "Dpkg::Conf: Switch implementation to be hash based", as this
943 change broke backwards compatibility in multiple ways. The format_argv
944 option was set by default, the order was not preserved, which was
945 important for dpkg.cfg files, and duplicate option names stopped being
946 supported. Add regression tests to avoid similar changes in the future.
947 Closes: #824938
948 - Add support for system and user config loading in Dpkg::Conf.
949 - Add support for autopkgtest control files, with new CTRL_TESTS control
950 type, new recognized fields to Dpkg::Control::Fields, and new modules
951 Dpkg::Control::Tests and Dpkg::Control::Tests::Entry. Also update
952 Dpkg::Index to support these.
953 - Fix Dpkg::Deps so that architecture qualifiers only imply one another
954 if they are the same. Closes: #745366, #827628
955 - Add support for new environment variable DEB_BUILD_PATH to be able to
956 control the path in the fixdebugpath feature in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
957 - Preserve order when prepending shared library paths in Dpkg::Shlibs.
958 This fixes the order of paths passed via dpkg-shlibdeps -l option.
959 Closes: #823805
960 - Check whether dependency restrictions are implied in Dpkg::Deps::Simple.
961 Thanks to Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>. Closes: #827633
962 - Disable upstream tar signature when building format 1.0 source packages
963 in Dpkg::Source::Package::V1, as the current stable dpkg series do not
964 support extracting them.
965 - Preset Last-Update field in patch header template with current time in
966 Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Thanks to Daniel Shahaf <danielsh@apache.org>.
967 Closes: #828146
968 * Packaging:
969 - Disable libmd usage in Debian and derivatives for now.
970 * Build system:
971 - Stop allowing to set deprecated bzip2 compressor as dpkg-deb default.
972 - Use libmd automatically if available.
973 - Uniformize library build options, from --with-zlib to --with-libz,
974 --with-bz2 to --with-libbz2 and --with-selinux to --with-libselinux.
975 * Test suite:
976 - Bump perlcritic ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumberSeparators minimum
977 to 99999.
978 - Add new pod-spell unit test.
979 - Refactor common unit test checks for needed things into Test::Dpkg.
980 - Accept perl's Lancaster Consensus AUTHOR_TESTING variable.
981 - Add new minimum perl version unit test.
982 - Add new synopsis unit test.
983 - Add unit tests for dependency simplification with build profiles.
984 * Documentation:
985 - Improve dpkg-buildpackage(1) on environment expectations.
986 - Clarify the format of the db:Status-Abbrev virtual field in
987 dpkg-query(1). Closes: #824515
988 - Document the tar entry size limitation for deb(5) format.
989 - Document interaction between PIE and libraries in dpkg-buildflags(1).
990 Based on text by Christian Seiler <christian@iwakd.de>.
991 - Merge ENVIRONMENT sections in dpkg-buildflags(1).
992 - Document various long options in dpkg-source --help output.
993 - Move dpkg-source -q option from “Build options” to “General options”
994 section in --help output.
995 - Clarify shared library search order in dpkg-shlibdeps(1).
996 - Remove most remaining AUTHOR sections from man an POD, as they are
997 strongly discouraged, for being redundant, tending to get out-of-sync,
998 and their format being inconsistent. In addition most got already
999 removed in the past for the man pages.
1000 - Mark perlcritic as an optional author test dependency in the README.
1001 - Fix example code in Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle SYNOPSIS.

1016
1017 [ Guillem Jover ]
1018 * Add new dpkg-source --require-strong-checksums option and change default.
1019 There is no point in erroring out on this condition when signature issues
1020 are only warnings, because we cannot guarantee we have functional keys
1021 for old signatures. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.5. Closes: #823428
1022 * Stop using several fixed sized buffers for program reporting, which in
1023 many cases could cause confusing truncation of long messages. Use heap
1024 allocated formatted strings instead:
1025 - In start-stop-daemon to report what to stop.
1026 - In dselect to print main and access methods menu entries.
1027 - In libdpkg command-line option parsing errors.
1028 - In libdpkg warning, notice and info reporting.
1029 - In libdpkg ohshit, ohshitv, ohshite and internerr. But in this case
1030 fallback to a fixed-size emergency buffer in case of allocation or
1031 formatting error, so that we can at least print something, even if
1032 truncated.
1033 Prompted by Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <mafm@debian.org>.
1034 * Colorize all fatal-error printing codepaths in libdpkg.
1035 * Architecture support:
1036 - Bump the GNU triplet cpu from i386 to i686 to match toolchain changes.
1037 Thanks to Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>. Closes: #823619
1038 - Clarify column descriptions in architecture table files.
1039 * Perl modules:
1040 - Relax dependency restrictions parsing to allow again sloppy spaces
1041 around versions, architectures and profile restrictions.
1042 Regression introduced in 1.18.5. Closes: #823431
1043 - Add new require_strong_checksums option to Dpkg::Source::Package.
1044 - Add new tests_dep option to Dpkg::Deps deps_parse() to allow the
1045 otherwise invalid ‘@’ character in dependencies. To be used when
1046 parsing the debian/tests/control file.
1047 * Documentation:
1048 - Shorten example symbol names in dpkg-gensymbols to avoid a mandb
1049 warning due to unwrappable lines in translations.

1063 could mess up the file queue in some circumstances and leave behind
1064 files in the filesystem as «pathname».dpkg-new after configuration
1065 and without traces of the files in the dpkg database. Closes: #823288
1066 * Use m_strdup() instead of strdup() in dpkg recursive installation code.
1067 * Fix off-by-one array allocation in dpkg recursive installation code that
1068 can cause segfaults.
1069 * Rename sysctl() “name” variable to “mib”, to avoid a clash with the
1070 call site function argument with the same name in start-stop-daemon.
1071 This fixes a build failure on */kFreeBSD systems.
1072 * Initialize number of entries on initial process scan in start-stop-daemon
1073 on */kFreeBSD.

1087 * Do not abort when traversing symlinks to directories in dpkg-scanpackages
1088 and dpkg-scansources. Closes: #809219
1089 * Implement delete operator with size argument in dselect, required by the
1090 C++14 spec when the size-less delete operator is defined.
1091 * Use EACCES instead of EWOULDBLOCK for fcntl(2) F_SETLK in dselect.
1092 * Print the archive filename when dpkg cannot access it.
1093 * Check that all passed archive filenames to dpkg exist before queuing them.
1094 Closes: #809963
1095 * Use ohshit() instead of internerr() for unhandled dpkg-split exit codes.
1096 (i.e. do not abort). Closes: #812679
1097 * Detect non-regular file archive arguments earlier in dpkg.
1098 * Switch URLs in docs, code comments and packaging, from http:// or git://
1099 to https:// if the latter is available (round three). This includes the
1100 dpkg git repository, copyright format URL and examples in man pages among
1101 others.
1102 * Clarify where to find the GPL-2 license in debian/copyright.
1103 * Do not enable stack-protector on nios2 in Debian and derivatives (it is
1104 not supported by gcc yet).
1105 * Check first for build type to short-circuit boolean expressions in
1106 dpkg-genchanges.

1117 * Allow broken versions starting with a dash in dpkg-maintscript-helper.
1118 Thanks to Carsten Hey <carsten@debian.org>.
1119 * Add a new treewalk module in libdpkg, with the nice properties of avoiding
1120 duplicate stat(2) calls, not calling find(1), and sorting the output w/o
1121 stalling on the entire input being slurped and sorted.
1122 - Use it to build the .deb data member in dpkg-deb.
1123 - Use it to build the .deb control member in dpkg-deb.
1124 Closes: #719845
1125 - Use it with dpkg --recursive option.
1126 * Unify start-stop-daemon --help output with the rest of the tools.
1127 * Search for debsig-verify in PATH instead of using an absolute path.
1128 * Do not error out when failing to open the SE label db on permissive mode.
1129 Closes: #811037
1130 * Rewrite the trigger deferred file parser from flex to manual. The format
1131 is very simple, and a simple hand-written parser is smaller and avoids a
1132 build dependency.
1133 * Be more strict when parsing the COLUMNS environment variable in dpkg-query.
1134 * Make the Architecture field mandatory on package builds.
1135 * Use new Dpkg::Arch functions to validate and parse architectures when
1136 building source packages. Closes: #784808
1137 * Do safe matching of directories containing conffiles in
1138 dpkg-maintscript-helper, instead of using a variable pathname as a regex
1139 with grep, which is susceptible to metacharacters acting as part of the
1140 regex. Proposed by Carsten Hey <carsten@debian.org>.
1141 * Decouple local keyword declaration from command assignment in
1142 dpkg-maintscript-helper, which masks the command return value when
1143 using «set -e».
1144 * Make dpkg pass <new-version> to maintscript actions that cannot get it
1145 otherwise. These actions are now:
1146 - <new-postrm> failed-upgrade <old-version> <new-version>
1147 - <new-postrm> abort-install <old-version> <new-version>

1154 * Use info() instead of print in dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-genchanges.
1155 * Add very basic color support to all dpkg namespaced programs, enabled by
1156 setting the environment variable DPKG_COLORS to “auto”, “always” or
1157 “never”, the latter being the default.
1158 * Add support for a new --build option to define build type by a
1159 comma-separated list of components (“source”, “any”, “all”, “binary” or
1160 “full”) in dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-buildpackage.
1161 * Add new -I option to dpkg-shlibdeps to ignore package build directories.
1162 Closes: #821025

1171 - Move alternatives temporary extension out from update-alternatives code,
1172 to make life easier for non-dpkg-based systems.
1173 - Switch start-stop-daemon on */kFreeBSD to use the low-level sysctl(3)
1174 interface instead of libkvm-dev.

1193 be disabled with --no-check.
1194 - Switch Dpkg::Conf implementation to be hash based, add two new accessors
1195 and a new option to the filter method to use the old behavior.
1196 - Do not parse entry multiple times in Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian.
1197 Add new parse_header() and parse_trailer() methods, and deprecate
1198 check_header() and check_trailer() ones.
1199 - Use “GnuPG” instead of “gpg” in error messages to refer to the software
1200 in Dpkg::Source::Package.
1201 - Handle undef versions in Dpkg::Changelog from empty versions in

1292 * Switch dpkg-scansources and dpkg-scanpackages to use File::Find instead
1293 of find(1), as the former is more portable with more consistent behavior,
1294 and always canonicalizes the pathnames. Closes: #800649
1295 * Initialize Config-Version also for packages previously in triggers-pending
1296 state, otherwise we end up not passing the previously configured version
1297 to «postinst configure», which might consider this a first install instead
1298 of an upgrade. Closes: #801156
1299 * Fix memory leaks in «dpkg --verify» and dpkg infodb format upgrade logic.
1300 * Merge all update-alternatives action handling into a single if-else-if
1301 block, to unify the code an allow a future switch into a shared library.

1370 * Fix short-lived memory leaks in start-stop-daemon. As a side effect now
1371 a missing group after ‘:’ on --chuid is a fatal error.
1372 * Print the master and slave links in «update-alternatives --display».
1373 * Print the current best alternative in the head instead of the trail
1374 in «update-alternatives --display», with a two space indentation.
1375 * Reimplement «update-alternatives --all» as a fully built-in command

1392 Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.2.
1393 Reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>.
1394 - Do not warn when removing an empty subdirectory on source package
1395 extraction in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Closes: #796671

1397 changelog trailer date, just queue them so that the caller can decide
1398 if they should be warnings or actual errors. Closes: #795936
1399 - Validate the changelog trailer date, and catch and warn or error on
1400 bogus month names, such as unknown or unabbreviated ones.

1442 * Fix dpkg-gencontrol to add correct binary filename to debian/files,
1443 even when overriding the Package field value with the -D option.
1444 Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>.
1445 * Move the implicit build-essential:native Build-Depends from
1446 dpkg-checkbuilddeps to a new vendor hook, as it is Debian-specific.
1447 * Add support for ignoring built-in build dependencies and conflicts
1448 with the new «dpkg-buildpackage --ignore-builtin-builddeps» and
1449 «dpkg-checkbuilddeps -I» options. Closes: #480638, #571671

1451 compute the array size with sizeof(). If NSIG is missing fallback to 32
1452 items. Prompted by Igor Pashev <pashev.igor@gmail.com>.
1453 * Use string_to_security_class() instead of a literal SECCLASS value in
1454 the setexecfilecon() libcompat function, as <selinux/flask.h> is now
1455 deprecated.
1456 * Switch libdpkg xz compressor to use CRC64 for integrity checks, to match
1457 the default on the command-line tool, which should provide slightly better
1458 detection against damaged data, at a negligible speed difference.
1459 * Only use the SHELL environment variable for interactive shells.
1460 Closes: #788819
1461 * Move tar option --no-recursion before -T in dpkg-deb. With tar > 1.28 the
1462 --no-recursion option is now positional, and needs to be passed before
1463 the -T option, otherwise the tarball will end up with duplicated entries.
1464 Thanks to Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>.
1465 * Add an extra level of escaping for double $(evals) in architecture.mk
1466 and buildflags.mk, so that the variables are computed lazily again.
1467 Regression introduced in dpkg 1.16.2. Closes: #793330
1468 * Add binary packages Essential information to Package-List field in the
1469 .dsc file, as optional essential=yes entries. This allows precomputing
1470 the pseudo-essential set before starting an architecture bootstrap.
1471 * Perl modules:
1472 - Remove non-functional timezone name support from
1473 Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian.
1474 - Use Time::Piece (part of the perl core distribution) instead of
1475 Date::Parse in Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian. This reduces the build
1476 and run-time dependencies, and helps architecture bootstrapping.
1477 - Simplify distribution splitting in Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian.
1478 - Add new function changelog_parse_plugin() in Dpkg::Changelog::Parse.
1479 - Add new function changelog_parse_debian() in Dpkg::Changelog::Parse, and
1480 use it in changelog_parse() instead of the external plugin parser when
1481 the input format is “debian”. This significantly speeds up the parsing.
1482 - Remove trailing space before handling blank line dot-separator in
1483 Dpkg::Control::HashCore. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.0.
1484 Reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>. Closes: #789580
1485 - Allow the Maintainer field in CTRL_FILE_STATUS.

1487 Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.0. Closes: #789957
1488 - Make the BinaryFiles subpackage self-contained by explicitly importing
1489 File::Spec in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2.

1491 in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Closes: #790073, #791535
1492 - Disable the thread sanitizer when the address sanitizer is enabled
1493 in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian as these are mutually incompatible, and make
1494 sanitize=+all not work at all.
1495 - Allow colons (:) in added filenames in Dpkg::Dist::Files, which can be
1496 present when the upstream version contains colons. Regression introduced
1497 in dpkg 1.18.0. Reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>.
1498 - Future-proof tar invocations in Dpkg::Source::Archive for options that
1499 might become positional in the future, and by always placing function
1500 options first.
1501 - Make the dependency comparison deep by comparing not only the first
1502 dependency alternative, to get them sorted in a reproducible way.
1503 Based on a patch by Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>. Closes: #792491
1504 - Support spaces in symbol names in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump. This is
1505 required by Go shared libraries. Closes: #785344
1506 Based on a patch by Michael Hudson-Doyle <michael.hudson@canonical.com>.
1507 * Test suite:
1508 - Set SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGPIPE to their default actions to get
1509 deterministic behavior.
1510 - Add test cases for the makefile snippets.
1511 - Delete DEB_VENDOR from the environment to get reliable results.
1512 * Packaging:
1513 - Make the libdpkg-dev package Multi-Arch:same.
1514 - Mark libio-string-perl as <!nocheck>.

1521 - Document --yet-to-unpack, --predep-package and all --assert-<feature>
1522 commands as supported in both «dpkg --help» and dpkg(1).

1614 reproducible regardless of the build system filesystem, and document
1615 how the value is computed and that it is just an approximation.
1616 Closes: #650077

1667 * Allow binary packages not found in debian/control in dpkg-genchanges,
1668 which could allow injecting debug .debs for example.

1686 libdpkg-perl Depends on dpkg to 1.16.3, the version introducing the file.
1687 - Remove support for GCC_TARGET environment variable from Dpkg::Shlibs.
1688 This was a temporary workaround for very old gcc toolchains. See #453267.
1689 - Prefer multiarch paths to multilib ones in Dpkg::Shlibs.
1690 Thanks to Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>. Closes: #772184
1691 - Enable sub-second timestamps in Dpkg::Source::Patch by using Time::HiRes.
1692 - Use TMPDIR instead of manually setting DIR on tempfile() call in
1693 Dpkg::Source::Package::V2.
1694 - Switch Dpkg::Checksums from using checksum programs to the more portable
1695 Digest modules. Obsolete the 'program' property, and add a 'name' one.
1696 - Add support for $DEFAULT_TEXT_DOMAIN to Dpkg::Gettext, so that the Dpkg
1697 perl modules can always produce localized messages.
1698 - Fix OpenPGP Armor Header Line parsing in Dpkg::Control::Hash. We should
1699 only accept [\r\t ] as trailing whitespace, although RFC4880 does not
1700 clarify what whitespace really maps to, we should really match the GnuPG
1701 implementation anyway, as that's what we use to verify the signatures.
1702 Reported by Jann Horn <jann@thejh.net>. Fixes CVE-2015-0840.
1703 - Pass PATCH_GET environment variable instead of -g0 to the patch command
1704 in Dpkg::Source::Patch. This allows using non-GNU patch programs, like
1705 FreeBSD's patch.
1706 - Accept an %opts argument for the Dpkg::Control::Info constructor, and
1707 accept either passing a filename option as undef, or a scalar undef.
1708 Closes: #782019
1709 - Do not print on undef filehandle in Dpkg::Control::Info output().
1710 Thanks to Roderich Schupp <roderich.schupp@gmail.com>. Closes: #781887
1711 - Always sort the Dpkg::Dist::Files files list on output, instead of
1712 preserving the insertion order, which is not reproducible with parallel
1713 builds. Reported by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
1714 - Add new filter() method to Dpkg::Substvars.
1715 - Kill the process when reaching timeout in Dpkg::IPC::wait_child().
1716 * Test suite:
1717 - Check perl code compilation, warnings and strictness.
1718 - Fix dpkg-divert unit test to work on BSD «rm -rf» that cannot traverse
1719 directories with mode 000.
1720 - Fix dpkg-divert unit test to work when there is no /dev/full.
1721 - Skip test cases when there is no c++filt available.
1722 - Add test cases for Dpkg::Conf and Dpkg::Checksums.
1723 - Handle libtool executables in progname unit test.
1724 - Do not use a timeout when testing cat I/O, speeds up test suite by 5s.
1725 - Reduce timeout test from 5 seconds to 1, to speed up test suite by 4s.
1726 * Build system:
1727 - Bump gettext version to 0.19:
1728 + Use --add-location=file in msgmerge and xgettext commands.
1729 + Use --porefs=noline for po4a command.
1730 - Wrap file references in man page PO files with po4a --porefs=wrap.
1731 - Fix support for cross-building dpkg:
1732 + Assume a working C99 snprintf on SUS >= v3.
1733 + Do not try to run the va_copy configure check, just check that the
1734 symbol is available.
1735 - Check that HAVE_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST is 0 instead of undefined, to fix a
1736 build failure on uclibc based systems. Closes: #777044
1737 Based on a patch by Alex Potapenko <opotapenko@gmail.com>.
1738 - Use single suffix rules instead of non-portable %-pattern rules.
1739 - Pass CC to the test suite, so that we can use a non-gcc compiler.
1740 - Call AM_PROG_AR to detect the correct system archiver to use.
1741 - Pass -Wall to automake in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, not implied by foreign.

1819 before options and listing them one on each line with a description.
1820 - Improve dselect color-spec --help output.
1821 - Move "(default)" annotations in scripts --help output after option
1822 description.
1823 - Consistently use proper quotation marks ("" or '', and not the
1824 unbalanced `' pair) all over the place.

1903 to 1.17.14 in dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) man page. Closes: #769843
1904 * Reintroduce update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride
1905 compatibility symlinks under /usr/sbin/. There are still packages
1906 using those paths, but the relevant lintian check did not list any,
1907 so this got removed prematurely.
1908 * Add Breaks on old man-db, fontconfig and readahead-fedora packages using
1909 awaiting triggers, as they produce trigger cycles. Closes: #768599
1910 * Escape package and architecture names on control file parsing warning,
1911 as those get injected into a variable that is used as a format string,
1912 and they come from the package fields, which are under user control.

1926 * Do not ignore trigger cycles for direct dependencies, these are just
1927 normal trigger cycles, and as such should not be special cased.
1928 * Register all pending triggers for deferred processing when being called
1929 as «dpkg --configure pkgname…». This is a mostly conformant workaround
1930 for frontends like apt that do not correctly call «dpkg --configure -a»

1981 two minor versions, so in 1.19.x or 1.20.x. Perhaps.
1982 * Do trigger cycle detection after dependency checks in dependtry <= 1,
1983 and before dependency cycle breaking in dependtry > 1. This makes sure
1984 to always catch trigger cycles, but still gives the opportunity to try

2104 - Document all public module versions in a CHANGES section.
2105 - Remove EXPORTED from POD section titles.
2106 - Document private modules as such in a CHANGES section.
2107 * Set the DEB_TARGET_* dpkg-architecture variables from architecture.mk.
2108 Missed in dpkg 1.17.14.
2109 * Initialize DEB_TARGET_ARCH variable without requiring DEB_HOST_ARCH,
2110 which is not being set at all when querying for DEB_TARGET_ variables.
2111 * Normalize dpkg-architecture command-line parsing, so that «--option=value»
2112 «--option value», «-ovalue» and «-o value» will all be accepted.
2113 * Add long option names for all dpkg-architecture short options.
2114 * Add support for --host-arch, --host-type, --target-arch and --target-type
2115 long options in dpkg-buildpackage. These will get passed through to
2116 dpkg-architecture. This restores the ability to specify the target

2210 Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.10. Closes: #759498
2211 * Remove lpia architecture support.
2212 * Improvements and portability fixes to start-stop-daemon:
2213 - Abort if the system or compatibility setsid() fails.
2214 - Do not exit from the first parent before the pidfile has been created,
2215 when using --background and --make-pidfile, to avoid the race condition.

2221 - On kFreeBSD systems do not unnecessarily make kvm_openfiles() open
2222 /dev/mem. This causes issues on FreeBSD jails for example.
2223 Reported by Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>.
2224 - On systems using libkvm, do not fail when kvm_getprocs() cannot find
2225 any process.

2227 * Handle omitted binary packages due to build profiles in dpkg-genchanges.
2228 Based on a patch by Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>. Closes: #758191
2229 * Update restriction formula syntax for build profiles:
2230 - Restriction lists are now restriction formulas.
2231 - Restriction formulas are given in disjunctive normal form expression:
2232 <foo> <bar baz> <blub>
2233 - Removal of the implicit prefix/namespace mechanic.
2234 - Construct the profiles entry of the Packages-List field by converting
2235 the "<bar baz> <blub>" syntax into "bar,baz+blub".
2236 - Include a temporary compatibility mapping with the old way to write
2237 the Build-Profiles field in binary packages which can be removed once
2238 all affected source packages have moved to the new syntax.
2239 Thanks to Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>. Closes: #760158
2240 * Normalize instdir in dpkg by removing trailing «/» and «/.». This gets
2241 rid of several inconsistencies and doubled «/» in syscalls and output
2242 messages.
2243 * Never try to remove the root directory or its backups. There's no point in
2244 it, and makes life more difficult for a read-only root with a read-write
2245 overlay or a symlink farm. Requested by sepero111@gmx.com.
2246 * Remove arbitrary filename limit from dpkg-deb, which was lifted some
2247 time ago when the code switched to a dynamic string via varbuf.
2248 * Do not pipe the files to sign from dpkg-buildpackage to GnuPG. When GnuPG
2249 uses the gpg-agent it is unable to detect the correct tty configuration
2250 if stdin is a pipe instead of the current terminal. Closes: #762391
2251 * Add a new --hash option to enable generating only specific file checksums
2252 in dpkg-scanpackages. Requested by Thorsten Glaser <tg@debian.org>.
2253 * Add architecture restriction options for dpkg-architecture -L. This allows
2254 selecting specific subsets of all valid known architectures, matching by
2255 wildcard (-W), endianness (-E) or bits (-B). The restricting options can
2256 be combined, or omitted altogether. Closes: #762635
2257 * Say arch-wildcard instead of arch-alias in dpkg-architecture --help output.
2258 * Test suite:
2259 - Do not leave temporary files behind on failure or when interrupted.
2260 - Add basic unit tests for the FNV hashing function.
2261 - Add unit tests for the libdpkg tar extractor.
2262 * Add --build and --extract command aliases to dpkg-source.
2263 * Print file or package names instead of pointers in dpkg debug output,
2264 to make it more meaningful and reproducible.
2265 * Fix off-by-one error in libdpkg command argv size calculation.
2266 Based on a patch by Bálint Réczey <balint@balintreczey.hu>. Closes: #760690
2267 * Switch the libdpkg string hashing function from FNV-1 to the recommended
2268 FNV-1a variant.
2269 * Switch the dpkg files database string hashing function from what appears
2270 to be a custom hash function to the libdpkg FNV-1a implementation. As a
2271 side effect this fixes an integer overflow. Addresses: #760741
2272 * Double the dpkg files database hash table size to the closest 2^18 prime.
2273 Times have changed, and it's common to have at least these many files.
2274 This reduces the amount of collisions.
2275 * Document optional dpkg -C argument in --help output. Closes: #763000

2393 * Do not write to the available file when unpacking binary packages. This
2394 information is not useful as dpkg has never recorded the archive path,
2395 so it has never been truly available for re-installation anyway.
2396 * Add versioned Provides support:
2397 - Add a new dpkg --assert-versioned-provides command.
2398 - Packages can provide a specific version, “virtual (= 1.0)” which will
2399 be honored, previously it would just be accepted when parsing.
2400 - Non-versioned virtual packages will not satisfy versioned dependencies.
2401 - Versioned virtual packages will satisfy non-versioned dependencies.

2423 - Mention that -nc does not apply either when -F is specified.
2424 - Mention that the --FOO-option options can be used multiple times.

2438 change in gcc. Somewhat reluctantly, as i386 wants to be its unique
2439 snowflake and use a GNU triplet not matching its baseline. This will

2495 * Use libtool to build the static libraries, which makes it possible to
2496 embed libcompat inside libdpkg, as required by some external programs
2497 linking against the latter. Closes: #746122
2498 * Fix word wrapping logic in dselect. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.3.
2499 * Fix possible out of bounds buffer read access in the error output on
2500 bogus ar member sizes.
2501 * Fix memory leaks in buffer_copy() on error conditions.
2502 * Test suite:
2503 - Improve C code coverage.
2504 - Add template test cases for most perl modules.
2505 - Add test cases for Dpkg::Deps OR relationships.
2506 - Add minimal test case for Dpkg::Source::Quilt.
2507 - Add test cases for Dpkg::Source::Patch CVE-2014-0471 and CVE-2014-3127.
2508 - Add test case for patch disabling hunks; not security sensitive.
2509 * Fix non-security sensitive TOCTOU race in triggers database loading.
2510 * Fix non-security sensitive TOCTOU race in update-alternative alternative
2511 database loading.
2512 * Fix non-security sensitive TOCTOU race in update-alternative rename code.
2513 * Add a workaround to start-stop-daemon for bogus OpenVZ Linux kernels that
2514 prepend, instead of appending, the " (deleted)" marker in /proc/PID/exe.
2515 Closes: #731530
2516 * Move dpkg-architecture -L argument to the Commands --help output section.
2517 * Make dpkg-maintscript-helper print only once that we are moving a
2518 conffile, and not on every interim state transition. Closes: #747370
2519 * Do not use global match variables in perl code.
2520 * Man pages:
2521 - Attempt to clarify and improve wording of some strange or confused
2522 constructs. Reported by Helge Kreutzmann.
2523 - Expand Vcs-* field names into each supported field name in
2524 deb-src-control(5) to make it easier to search for them.
2525 - Change control.tar.gz reference to simply control.tar in deb(5).
2526 - Document in dpkg-deb(1) -Z option that bzip2 and lzma are deprecated.
2527 - Add notes in dpkg-gensymbols(1) about symbol backward-compatibility.
2528 Based on a patch by Bernhard R. Link <brlink@debian.org>.
2529 Closes: #746973
2530 - Document that dpkg-buildpackage(1) -j argument is optional.
2531 - Add current and deprecated media types to deb(5).
2532 - Document in dpkg(1) that --audit now does more than just searching for
2533 partially installed packages.
2534 * Add support for automatic parallel job selection in dpkg-buildpackage,
2535 matching currently active processors, when using -jauto. Closes: #748012
2536 * Perl modules:
2537 - Bump $VERSION for Dpkg::Patch, missed in 1.16.1.
2538 - Bump $VERSION for Dpkg::Deps, missed in 1.17.0.
2539 - Update and fix CHANGES POD sections for public modules.
2540 - Add missing Dpkg::Deps::Multiple profile_is_concerned() and
2541 reduce_profiles() methods, inherited by Dpkg::Deps::Union,
2542 Dpkg::Deps::AND and Dpkg::Deps::OR.
2543 * Do not mangle quilt series files with a missing newline on the last line.
2544 Closes: #584233
2545 * Quiesce tar warnings in cron job by redirecting stderr to /dev/null, as
2546 it seems --warning=none does not work correctly. Closes: #748544
2547 * Do not emit a trailing space from Dpkg::Control::Hash on a field's empty
2548 first line. Bump dpkg-dev Breaks on devscripts to 2.14.4, as previous
2549 versions expect a trailing space from dpkg-parsechangelog output.
2550 Based on a patch by Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>. Closes: #749044
2551 * Do not assume that sensible-editor is present on «dpkg-source --commit»,
2552 as that command is very Debian specific. Fallback to try VISUAL, EDITOR,
2553 or vi, if the previous commands are either unset or not found.
2554 * Use badusage() instead of ohshit() on dpkg --ignore-depends argument
2555 parsing errors.
2556 * Add per package dpkg --audit support.
2557 * Add support for DragonFlyBSD to ostable and triplettable.

2561 * Correctly parse patch headers in Dpkg::Source::Patch, to avoid directory
2562 traversal attempts from hostile source packages when unpacking them.
2563 Reported by Javier Serrano Polo <javier@jasp.net> as an unspecified
2564 directory traversal; meanwhile also independently found by me both
2565 #749183 and what was supposed to be #746498, which was later on published

2599 * Fix off-by-one stack buffer overrun in start-stop-daemon on GNU/Linux and
2600 GNU/kFreeBSD if the executable pathname is longer than _POSIX_PATH_MAX.
2601 Although this should not have security implications as the buffer is
2602 surrounded by two arrays (so those catch accesses even if the stack
2603 grows up or down), and we are compiling with -fstack-protector anyway.
2604 * Mark the command_get_pager() tests on a tty as TODO for now, so that

2630 * Switch test runner from Test::Harness to TAP::Harness.
2631 * Use the perl TAP::Harness for the C test suite instead of the automake
2632 tap-driver, to avoid requiring automake >= 1.12, currently not present
2633 in stable.
2634 * Enable failed test case reporting from the TAP::Harness, so that we get
2635 more meaningful reports on failure from the C test suite.

2700 * Improvements and portability fixes to start-stop-daemon:
2701 - When using the Linux procfs switch to use /proc/PID/status instead of
2702 /proc/PID/stat to read the process name.
2703 - Add a generic KVM-based implementation to initialize the entire
2704 process list.
2705 - Fix FreeBSD KVM code to use current kinfo_proc layout.
2706 - Add a native FreeBSD pid_is_exec() method, which is more reliable than
2707 the KVM-based one, and means neither linprocfs nor procfs are required
2708 on such system anymore. Note that GNU/kFreeBSD is still using Linux
2709 procfs code (which ends up using linprocfs).
2710 - Fix OpenBSD KVM code to use current kinfo_proc layout.
2711 - Detect system specific headers at configure time instead of hardcoding
2712 their usage depending on system macros.
2713 - Add a new --ppid matching option to check for parent PID.
2714 Suggested by Alex Mestiashvili <mailatgoogl@gmail.com>.
2715 - On GNU/Hurd do not link unnecessarily against libshouldbeinlibc and
2716 libihash.
2717 * Set TAR preprocessor variable at build time instead of hardcoding it.
2718 This will allow non-GNU systems to easily use another value for their
2719 GNU tar, which is usually either gnutar or gtar.
2720 * Require compound literals support in the compiler at configure time.
2721 * Fix compound literals usage with compilers in C99 mode, by not assigning
2722 them to static variables.
2723 * Test suite cleanup:
2724 - Do not unnecessarily shut up stdout in t-subproc.
2725 - Test command_exec() exit code.
2726 - Test allocations with new test_alloc() instead of pass/fail macros.
2727 - Switch C test suite to use TAP.
2728 * Add support for Packages-files in dpkg --update-avail and --merge-avail
2729 from pipes, or standard input if the argument is omitted or is ‘-’.
2730 Closes: #357093, #367297
2731 * Error out on not-installed packages passed to «dpkg --verify».
2732 * Deprecate compressing .deb files with bzip2, by making dpkg-deb issue a
2733 warning, as the compressor has been superseded by xz when it comes to
2734 compression ratio, and in cases where higher compatibility or raw speed
2735 is desired gzip is still the better option. Although unpacking will be
2736 kept being supported to handle existing bzip2 compressed .deb files.
2737 * Use GNU tar's --no-unquote when using -T in dpkg-deb to avoid mangling
2738 filenames. Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>. Closes: #743687
2739 * Backup all databases with user data, not just the status database.

2784 supported on at least Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD based systems.
2785 Thanks to Peter Chang <dpf@google.com>.

2902 [ Guillem Jover ]
2903 * Make Dpkg::Arch debwildcard_to_debtriplet() more robust by matching
2904 on exact 'any' strings, instead of substrings.
2905 * Add manpages-it Replaces to dselect and dpkg-dev. Closes: #717983
2906 Reported by Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>.
2907 * Document default dpkg-deb compressor change to xz in man page.
2908 Thanks to Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org>. Closes: #718437
2909 * Version manpages-it in Replaces with (<< 2.80-4), now that the package
2910 does not ship the overlapping paths any more.
2911 * Automatically prepend needed spaces for continuation --force-help lines.
2912 * Be more precise on deb format errors with data member in dpkg-deb.
2913 * Do not allow deb packages with control and data members swapped.
2914 * Clarify «dpkg-deb --extract» bad usage error message on missing arguments
2915 by printing all required arguments at once. Closes: #718899
2916 * Clarify the insertion order of _ members in deb(5) man page.
2917 * Fix use after free in alternative_parse_fileset() on update-alternatives.
2918 Reported by Pedro Ribeiro <pedrib@gmail.com>.
2919 * Fix use after free in dpkg_arch_load_list() on libdpkg.
2920 Reported by Pedro Ribeiro <pedrib@gmail.com>.
2921 * Fix theoretical stack buffer overflow in w_dependency() on libdpkg, not
2922 currently applicable. Reported by Pedro Ribeiro <pedrib@gmail.com>.
2923 * Add ppc64el support to cputable. Closes: #718945
2924 Thanks to Jeff Bailey <jeffbailey@google.com>.
2925 * Use dpkg-gencontrol -c argument as a fallback lock file in case
2926 debian/control does not exist. Closes: #667008
2927 * Pass the package reference count (i.e. number of present instances) to
2928 maintainer scripts via the new variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE_REFCOUNT.
2929 Closes: #681370
2930 * Fix field names on error messages in libdpkg, by either capitalizing them
2931 or by renaming them to match reality.
2932 * Do not capitalize error and warning messages.
2933 * When ignoring invalid remove requests in dpkg consider that progress,
2934 reset the loop detector and avoid the assert. Closes: #143307
2935 * Activate all path components for file triggers on removal.
2936 Regression introduced in 1.17.0. Closes: #725437
2937 * Activate file triggers on disappearance more accurately, only when we know
2938 we are inevitably removing things.
2939 * Fix «dpkg-query --list» output when using multibyte character strings,
2940 to avoid unaligned columns and mojibake. Closes: #257505, #718541
2941 Based on a patch by Changwoo Ryu <cwryu@debian.org>.
2942 * Use fully buffered output on non-tty stdout.
2943 Reported by Shawn Landden <shawnlandden@gmail.com>.
2944 * Recognize «start-stop-daemon -C» as documented. Closes: #719746
2945 Reported by Brian S. Julin <bri@abrij.org>.
2946 * When update-alternatives is told to change slave links, do not warn that
2947 the link group is broken, just print a notice that the alternative is
2948 being updated due to the changes.
2949 * Add a new «dpkg --verify» command to check the integrity of packages
2950 installed files. Add a --verify-format option to explicitly select the
2951 output format, currently only rpm compatible output is supported, but
2952 the default might change in the future. Closes: #187019
2953 * Improve dpkg “Preparing to replace” and “Unpacking” progress messages.
2954 Closes: #32427, #71106
2955 * Print the package version on main dpkg progress messages.
2956 * Do not store timestamps in gzip headers when using the command, to try to
2957 mimic the zlib behavior. This does not affect Debian as it's been using
2958 zlib for a very long time. Closes: #719844
2959 * Reset environment variables affecting compressor commands when not using
2960 the shared library implementations. Namely XZ_DEFAULTS, XZ_OPT, BZIP and
2961 BZIP2.
2962 * Use a simple list to track packages owning a file, instead of using a
2963 list of arrays of pointers which waste 10 pointers per non-shared file,
2964 instead of 1. This significantly reduces dpkg memory usage.
2965 * Honor new DEB_SIGN_KEYID environment variable in dpkg-buildpackage.
2966 Suggested by Harald Dunkel <harri@afaics.de>. Closes: #615813, #719418
2967 * Always check subprocess exit codes in Dpkg::Source::Package modules.
2968 Reported by Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>.
2969 * Add support for pie and stack-protector options to dpkg-buildflags FFLAGS,
2970 and update the man page to mention FFLAGS are a subset of CFLAGS.
2971 Closes: #726932
2972 * Improve and unify -O option handling in dpkg-genchanges, dpkg-gensymbols
2973 and dpkg-shlibdeps, by always taking an optional filename argument and
2974 describing in the man page the default output files.
2975 * Use “hyphen” instead of “dash” when we mean the ‘-’ character in the
2976 documentation and code comments.
2977 * Do not NULL-terminate the list in the compat scandir(), as this might
2978 cause a segfault in case the function returns 0 entries.
2979 * Always return from ensure_statoverrides() if file is NULL, otherwise
2980 we might get us to read garbage from memory or segfault.
2981 * Add new symlink_to_dir command to dpkg-maintscript-helper. Closes: #720712
2982 Based on a patch by Bastien ROUCARIÈS <roucaries.bastien@gmail.com>.
2983 * Add new dir_to_symlink command to dpkg-maintscript-helper. Closes: #583585
2984 * Distinguish dpkg error reports between errors while processing packages
2985 and archives.
2986 * Fix crashes in the first call to gettext() after fork() on Mac OS X, by
2987 forcing the initialization at program start of the CoreFoundation cached
2988 values in libintl.
2989 * Set a default gettext domain for libdpkg code, so that other programs
2990 using a different domain can still get correct translations, like dselect.
2991 * Cleanup libdpkg-perl API:
2992 - Dpkg::Compression: Deprecate $default_compression_level,
2993 $default_compression and $compression_re_file_ext package variables.
2994 - Dpkg::Exit: Deprecate @handlers package variable.
2995 - Dpkg::Source::Package: Deprecate $diff_ignore_default_regexp and
2996 @tar_ignore_default_pattern package variables.
2997 - Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian: Deprecate $regex_header and
2998 $regex_trailer package variables.
2999 * Add GnuPG 2.x support. Add gnupg2 and gpgv2 as alternative Recommends to
3000 gnupg and gpgv (to not pull them by default), but prefer gpgv2 over gpgv,
3001 and gpg2 over gpg at run-time if they are available.
3002 * Switch dpkg conflictor tracking from a fixed-size array to a queue,
3003 fixing several related issues, due to conflictors not being removed from
3004 the array after processing them. dpkg could fill it due to additions in
3005 previous package processing producing very confusing error messages; and
3006 a theoretical problem where a package could get appended to be removed,
3007 then reinstalled as a new version, to get removed again when revisiting
3008 the array in a subsequent package processing. Closes: #726112
3009 * Do not accept empty field names in dpkg.
3010 * Do not accept an initial hyphen in field names.
3011 * Add experimental build profiles support:
3012 - Add support for <!profile.name> build-time restrictions in dependencies.
3013 - Add support for DEB_BUILD_PROFILES environment variable.
3014 - Add new option -P to dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
3015 - Add new Built-For-Profiles output field in .deb and .changes files.

3113 changed, for example while upgrading the SELinux policy package.
3114 * Execute maintainer scripts in a new execution context, based on the
3115 current one and the specific maintainer script filename, and if it's

3282 * Fix memory leak in dpkg filesavespackage().
3283 * Do not print garbage (or worse) on dpkg shared conffile debug output.
3284 * Use a hash instead of a ref to a hash for keys() in Dpkg::BuildFlags
3285 get_feature_areas(). This causes compilation failures with older perl
3286 versions, which can be an issue with partial upgrades.
3287 * Fix filter subpattern debug output format string to print an actual
3288 value instead of just blanks.
3289 * Ignore trailing filter subpattern slashes on reinclusion comparison.
3290 This makes sure to reinclude directories previously excluded so that
3291 contained files marked for inclusion do not fail to unpack due to a
3292 missing directory. Closes: #688416
3293 * Do not consider obsolete conffiles as actively owned by the package.
3294 This ensures conffile entries are not mishandled nor mixed up when
3295 configuring packages owning the non-obsolete conffiles. Closes: #689836
3296 Based on a patch by Andreas Beckmann <debian@abeckmann.de>.
3297 * Properly mark in the database obsolete conffiles on package replaces.
3298 * Sync the Conffiles field values for all package instances. Because
3299 only the first package instance being configured will have a *.dpkg-new
3300 conffile available to be processed, the subsequent ones need to use the
3301 hash from the previously processed entries.
3302 * Fix logic for previously configured conffiles, so that the shared
3303 conffile checks actually work on reinstallation. Closes: #684776
3304 * Avoid info database corruption and bogus accesses on unknown format
3305 values, by always reading the format file and validating it.
3306 * Clarify that the most probable reason for multiarch database
3307 inconsistencies is due to upgrades from unofficial dpkg versions.
3308 * Only satisfy a dependency on a “Multi-Arch: foreign” if arch-unqualified.
3309 * Take architecture into account in virtual packages on remove and

3709 * Add new dpkg-deb -S option to specify the compression strategy. The only
3710 currently supported value is “extreme” for xz. Closes: #647915

3755 similar lines. Based on a patch by Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>.
3756 * Modify dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-distaddfile to grab a write lock
3757 on debian/control before updating debian/files to avoid simultaneous

3762 expansions and not regular expressions. And let dpkg-gensymbols output a
3763 warning when a pattern doesn't match any file. Closes: #649248
3764 * Add new option "-a <arch>" to dpkg-checkbuilddeps to check build
3765 dependencies for another architecture. This is really basic for now since
3766 it assumes all build dependencies must be satisfied on the listed

4152 * Update dpkg(1) to note that --status-fd output does not contain newlines
4153 in error messages anymore (this was fixed in 1.15.0).
4154 * Add a new --status-logger option to dpkg, similar to --status-fd but

4172 an Architecture field except for status and status log files when
4173 packages are not-installed or half-installed.
4174 * By default reject installing packages w/o an Architecture field. They

4195 this is most commonly the case due to dpkg-distaddfile.
4196 * Terminate immediately on dpkg-divert rename errors instead of propagating

4583 should be that it uses its own logfile /var/log/alternatives.log (rotated
4584 like dpkg.log).
4585 * Implement new --unapply-patches option for dpkg-source with source formats
4586 2.0 and 3.0 (quilt) that unapplies the patches after a successful build.
4587 This option can be put in debian/source/local-options in the package VCS

4910 multiple software together. Closes: #554488
4911 * dpkg-source supports long option names --diff-ignore and --tar-ignore for
4912 -i and -I. A new option --extend-diff-ignore is introduced. Those options
4913 can thus now be used in debian/source/options.

4919 * The rewritten Dpkg::Checksums deals properly with filenames with
4920 spaces. Closes: #572030
4921 * dpkg-source does no longer fallback to other source formats if the
4922 requested one is not usable. Closes: #557459
4923 * Modify dpkg-source to error out when it would apply patches containing
4924 insecure paths (with "/../") and also error out when it would apply a
4925 patch through a symlink. Those checks are required as patch will happily
4926 modify files outside of the target directory and unpacking a source package
4927 should not be able to have any side-effect outside of the target
4928 directory. Fixes CVE-2010-0396.
4929 * Also error out when the quilt series contains a path with "/../" as this
4930 can cause patch to create files outside of the source package due
4931 to the -B .pc/$path option that it gets.

4946 most of the innocuous warning messages. Closes: #403211
4947 * Make “dpkg-statoverride --update --add” fail if it cannot update the
4948 mode and owner of the file. This would fail later on when dpkg itself
4949 applies the overrides, so better to signal this earlier.

4953 removed. Closes: #312206
4954 * Make the check for duplicate fields in a stanza in libdpkg actually work,
4955 which now makes it fatal, as was intended originally. This should not
4956 cause problems for anything using dpkg-dev to build packages as those
4957 are already fatal on that case.

4959 * Fix misspellings of “explicitly” all over the place.
4960 * Normalize ar member names when reading (removing trailing spaces and
4961 slash), this allows deb-split packages be created with GNU ar.

4984 dpkg-deb --info or --field use mkdtemp() to create a temporary directory
4985 instead of insecure tempnam() or tmpnam() functions.

4991 xz-utils to dpkg's Pre-Depends. Closes: #542160
4992 Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch.
4993 * Use xz command to handle lzma compressed files in dpkg and dpkg-dev.
4994 This removes the lzma package from both dpkg and dpkg-dev dependencies.
4995 * Do not set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage when cross-building.
4996 The proper solution to this is to let the build system choose the
4997 appropriate pkg-config binary for the build or host system in the same
4998 way pkg.m4 is handling it now. Closes: #551118
4999 * Dynamically link against all external libraries. This includes libbz2
5000 and zlib for dpkg-deb and libselinux for dpkg on GNU/Linux.
5001 * Mark the libdpkg.a API as volatile and require any possible users to set
5002 LIBDPKG_VOLATILE_API to acknowledge that fact.
5003 * Add a new libdpkg-dev package with the headers and the static library,
5004 although its API should be considered volatile.
5005 * Reorganize the doc contents that goes into each package:
5006 - README.multicd only in dselect.
5007 - README.api only in development packages, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-dev.
5008 - triggers.txt only in dpkg-dev.
5009 * Move source.lintian-overrides to debian/source/lintian-overrides.
5010 * Switch SE Linux support to explicitly set path context. This fixes the
5011 mislabeling of files under <admindir> on conffile extraction or on unpack
5012 errors, due to improper default context restoration. Closes: #498438
5013 * Use FIEMAP when available (on Linux based systems) to sort the .list
5014 files loading order. With a cold cache it improves up to a 70%.

5037 [ Modestas Vainius ]
5038 * Implement symbol patterns (Closes: #563752). From now on, it is possible to
5039 match multiple symbols with a single entry in the symbol file template.
5040 While the concept is not new (wildcards also match multiple symbols),
5041 patterns cover much more ground and are a lot more flexible. Together with
5042 the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported:
5043 - c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by
5044 c++filt);
5045 - symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature
5046 which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented
5047 on top of the new framework;
5048 - regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression.
5049 Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense.
5050 * As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation,
5051 patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a
5052 pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result,
5053 dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are
5054 present in the symbol file (Closes: #541464). Please note, however, that
5055 there is no way to detect symbol changes in the pattern match sets.
5056 * Add source version to the dpkg-gensymbols diff label, reformat it according
5057 to the rules of dpkg-name.
5058 * Add -a<arch> option to dpkg-gensymbols.
5059 * Add -q option to dpkg-gensymbols. -c0 will never fail but still generate a
5060 diff. Use -c0 -q to keep dpkg-gensymbols completely quiet as before
5061 (Closes: #568228).

5328 when the package didn't have such field.
5329 * Do not take into account Revision and Package_Revision fields in dpkg-name
5330 and dpkg-scanpackages as they have been handled already by “dpkg-deb -I”.
5331 * Switch dpkg-scansources to use Dpkg::Cdata instead of duplicating the
5332 .dsc parsing code. As a side effect it now handles properly bogus files.
5333 * Do not remap obsolete fields in dpkg-scanpackages as they have been
5334 handled already by “dpkg-deb -I”.

5410 (pointer size and endianness):
5411 - cputable (in dpkg) modified to contain those information
5412 - dpkg-dev depends on dpkg (>= 1.15.4) to ensure that we have an updated

5603 * Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to properly initialize a symbol-based dependency
5604 even when some symbols are associated with a (fake) version "0". Such a

5877 in some cases where it wanted to when the source file didn't exist.
5878 Closes: #99870

5908 - it now logs information to /var/log/dpkg.log. Closes: #445270
5909 - it forbids reusing master alternative as slave and vice-versa.
5910 Closes: #342566
5911 - it forbids reusing alternative links managed by other alternatives
5912 - new sanity checks on --install parameters. Closes: #423176
5913 - install slave link only if the corresponding slave file is available.
5914 Closes: #143701
5915 - new option --get-selections to export the configuration of all
5916 alternatives. It's a simple way to discover the name of all available
5917 alternatives. Closes: #273406, #392429
5918 - new option --set-selections to reconfigure a set of alternatives in
5919 a single command.

6148 * When dpkg-divert does renames do no check the target file if the source

6155 * Use debian/patches/debian-changes-<version> (without the trailing ".diff")
6156 as default name for the automatic patch created by the format "3.0
6157 (quilt)". This ensures a saner cohabitation with patch systems that
6158 apply all of debian/patches/*.{diff,patch}.
6159 * Improve patch parser to accept more patches that are accepted by patch

6161 * Correctly skip comments in quilt series files (concerns "3.0 (quilt)" source
6162 packages). Closes: #486323
6163 * The automatically created patches (in source package formats "2.0" and
6164 "3.0 (quilt)") will now contain "/dev/null" as previous filename when the

6222 header instead of file extension analysis on uploaded files.
6223 Closes: #476113
6224 * Fix dpkg-source to grant correct permissions to tarballs of native
6225 source packages. Closes: #477784
6226 * Add Conflicts: devscripts (<< 2.10.26) to ensure that people are
6227 using versions of debsign/mergechanges that support the Checksums fields
6228 in *.dsc and *.changes.
6229 * Cleanup the various Conflicts/Replaces fields to remove references
6230 to package that have disappeared before sarge (this includes dpkg-doc-ja,
6231 dpkgname, and dpkg-static which has never officially been built).
6232 dpkg-iasearch has been kept as popcon still reports a few installations.
6233 * Collapsed multiple conflicts of dpkg with old versions of dpkg-dev
6234 in a single Conflicts: dpkg-dev (<< 1.14.16).
6235 * The "3.0 (quilt)" source package format now parses correctly series files
6236 with patch options and warn if something else than -p1 is used.
6237 * Change the way dpkg-source finds the perl object to use to unpack/build
6238 a source package to ignore the minor part of the Format: version.
6239 For example "1.0" and "1.1" would both map to Dpkg::Source::Package::V1
6240 instead of ::V1_0 and ::V1_1 before. Similarly "3.0 (quilt)" now maps to
6241 ::V3::quilt instead of ::V3_0::quilt.
6242 * Fix changelog parser to not fail when an unexpected changelog entry
6243 appears without the preceding heading line. Closes: #478925
6244 * Change the "2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)" source packages to refuse by default
6245 binary files in the debian sub-directory. They have to be whitelisted
6246 through debian/source/include-binaries. Closes: #473041

6295 [ Raphaël Hertzog ]
6296 * When dpkg-source builds a source package of Format: 2.0 or 3.0 (quilt) it
6297 applies the patches before the build if
6298 debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied doesn't exist. This file is created
6299 during extraction if patches are applied, and is auto-excluded from the
6300 debian tarball. This enables on-the-fly conversion of source packages from
6301 Format: 1.0 to Format: 3.0 (quilt) without manual intervention of the
6302 user. This feature can be disabled with the option --no-preparation.
6303 * The dpkg-source option --skip-patches disables application of patches
6304 during extraction of source packages using Format: 2.0 or Format: 3.0
6305 (quilt).
6306 * Ensure the Files field is last in *.dsc and *.changes. This is a
6307 work-around for some braindead dsc parsers (dupload and sbuild for
6308 instance, see #473518 and #470440).
6309 * Initialize dependencies for libraries having symbols files with the
6310 smallest minimal version listed in the symbols file instead of using
6311 an unversioned dependency. It's the only way to ensure the library
6312 presence if it wasn't available in all versions of the package that ever
6313 existed. Closes: #474079

6390 files. It's nice for reviewers and mentors.debian.net was using this field
6391 on source only uploads to display short description of what the package is
6392 about.

6394 to find it. Closes: #462413
6395 * Fix Dpkg::Version and Dpkg::Fields::Object to import _g() from
6396 Dpkg::Gettext. Thanks to Adam Heath and Olivier Berger for spotting
6397 this. Closes: #465651
6398 * Change PATH during make check to look into build directories containing
6399 dpkg and the related scripts. Thanks to Mike Frysinger. Closes: #466957
6400 * Some lintian cleanup:
6401 - add overrides for some useless I: tags
6402 - drop unused overrides
6403 - updated several manual pages to fix hyphen-used-as-minus-sign
6404 - fixed manpage-has-errors-from-man in several manual pages
6405 - removed empty debian/dpkg.prerm
6406 * Removed old upgrade code from dpkg's preinst and postinst which only
6407 concerns upgrading from dpkg version older than the one in oldstable
6408 already. And thus we get rid of old the last usage of read in those
6409 scripts (fixes lintian's warning read-in-maintainer-script).
6410 * Removed sorting of dependencies in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-source. But
6411 kept it for all other fields (Enhances, Conflicts, Replaces, Breaks,
6412 Build-Conflicts and Build-Conflicts-Indep).
6413 * Instead changed dpkg-shlibdeps to sort the dependencies generated in
6414 ${shlibs:*} variables.
6415 * Changed the logic of simplification of dependencies: if any dependency
6416 must be discarded due to another dependency appearing further
6417 in the field, the superseding dependency will take the place of the
6418 discarded one. Added a test case for this.
6419 * dpkg-shlibdeps properly accounts usage of symbols provided by private
6420 libraries without SONAME. Closes: #469838
6421 * Add a new warning to dpkg-shlibdeps when a library NEEDED is in fact
6422 not used by any of the binaries analyzed. Closes: #472332
6423 * Add a new --warnings=<value> option to select the set of warnings to
6424 activate. By default, do not activate the warning about useless
6425 libraries at the binary level (instead the new warning above is activated
6426 by default: it's less strict and more useful).
6427 * dpkg-source has been heavily refactored to make it easier to support
6428 multiple source package formats. Several new source package formats have
6429 been added:
6430 - the format "2.0" is the original wig&pen
6431 - the format "3.0 (quilt)" is based on 2.0. It uses a tarball for the
6432 debian directory and can thus include binary files. Binaries
6433 outside of the debian directory can be also included if they
6434 are listed in debian/source/include-binaries (and option
6435 --include-binaries will generate this file automatically).
6436 Closes: #4588, #4628
6437 - thus it will also preserve timestamps on Debian-provided
6438 documentation like README.Debian. Closes: #366555
6439 - it handles an explicit series of patches and the patch can thus be
6440 named without constraints. Patches can contain arbitrary
6441 headers/comments between file chunks. Closes: #363018
6442 - it ignores changes on a number of temporary and VCS-specific files
6443 by default. Closes: #203792, #323909
6444 - the patches in debian/patches can remove files. Closes: #12564
6445 - the patches are applied at unpack time. Closes: #463048
6446 - the formats "3.0 (quilt/native)" don't include VCS directories by
6447 default. Closes: #435126
6448 - the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package
6449 containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can
6450 generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way
6451 (like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918
6452 - the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based
6453 on corresponding VCS repositories. Thanks to Joey Hess and Colin Watson
6454 respectively.
6455 * dpkg-source has a new --no-check option. It disables GPG check and
6456 checksums checks. Closes: #220758
6457 * dpkg-shlibdeps is now able to look into directories containing libraries
6458 used by cross-built binaries provided that the right environment variable
6459 are set. Closes: #453267
6460 * Change default value of LDFLAGS (set by dpkg-buildpackage) to ''
6461 instead of '-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions'. It's safer at this point of the
6462 release cycle.
6463 * dpkg-buildpackage will set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR (but not override an existing
6464 value) in case of cross-compilation so that pkgconfig finds .pc files
6465 in the directory specific to the target architecture. Closes: #439979

8547 The DebConf4 Release.
8548
8549 This release is mostly intended to mop up the minor and trivial bug
8550 fixes in the list and clear out the documentation changes. As such,
8551 it should be treated with even more suspicion than is normal.

8573 - Added i386-kfreebsd-gnu and i386-knetbsd-gnu. Closes: #250176.

8575 - Create $(docdir) even when --without-sgml-doc is passed so the
8576 ChangeLog can be installed. Closes: #137719.
8577 - Stop hardcoding the list of manual page languages in debian/rules,

8831 Some fields may have vars in them, which breaks the validation.

8881 the controllib parser did.
8882 * All dependency fields parsed by controllib.pl support [arch]
8883 specifiers. If the arch specifier doesn't apply for the current
8884 arch, then the item will not be added to the internal list structure.
8885 * Comment lines(that begin with '#') are removed during parsing.
8886 * Store the original casing of field names, for use in error reporting.

9327 * Change policy of handling dscformat in dpkg-source
9328 * Fix the arglist construction for maintainer scripts
9329 * Revert dscformat to 1.0 since older dpkg-source versions do not have
9330 the new policy. In the future (starting at format 2.0 to maintain
9331 compatibility with old dpkg-source implementations) minor changes to
9332 the dscformat have to be fully backward and forward compatible.

9345 * Add a -W option to dpkg-source(and the other utils, where it is just
9346 passed thru), to turn certain errors into warnings(of which, only
9347 one is changed, namely, the 'tar doesn't contain preceding directory'
9348 error). Closes: #101813, and partially 101845.
9349 * Don't error out if the files in the tar have leading './', for
9350 dpkg-source. (another partial close of 101845).
9351 * Handle the case where a single directory exists in the orig.tar.gz, but
9352 it is NOT of the form <pkg>-<ver>. Closes: #101845.
9353 * Set LC_ALL in dpkg-source when we call external programs when we are
9354 going to parse their output. Another bug from 101845.
9355 * Handle stating of truncated cpio filenames(100 char limit, bah), in
9356 dpkg-source. Another bug from 101845.
9357 * Add support for an Uploaders field, which is read from the first
9358 paragraph of debian/control, and propagated to the .dsc. This lists
9359 the people allowed to upload a package. If it is not set, then the
9360 value of the Maintainer is placed into this field of the .dsc. This
9361 bumps the .dsc format to 1.1. Closes: #101815.
9362 * Handle symlinks in the tarball, and don't error out if found.
9363 * in controllib, make warnerrors default to warnings. Affects
9364 dpkg-source. This will be changed to be errors in the future.

9405 * warn instead of die when find returns an error(which happens if there
9406 is a dangling symlink, because we use -follow). Closes: #51479.

9713 * No longer bother to install emacs things. I don't use emacs myself
9714 and can't support that properly.
9715 * scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Make it parse soname's in the format of
9716 "libfoo-X.X.so" (e.g. libdb-3.1.so) and use it. Also make it give a
9717 warning if there is a NEEDED line in the objdump output that we cannot
9718 grok.

9720 of the libc major version, and ldconfig -p output. Solves problems

9979 on the filesystem (on a floppy perhaps, then mount as needed).

9982 move cpio, patch and make to the depends line

9984 Filename, and MSDOS-Filename used to get lost when installing a

9987 * Added 'D' to the list of choices for conffile handling, closes: #48137

9989 package that contains the generated output from this file (.ps, .html
9990 and .info), includes doc-base support. Internals.sgml is also not
9991 generated on the binary-arch target, and is no longer "byhand"

9995 which contains a struct for conflicts. This is used to create an array
9996 of conflicting packages, which are going to be replaced. Allows for
9997 multiple conflicts and replaces. All conflictor handlers were

10012 * Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
10013 a different uid when starting a process
10014 * Add mipseb and mipsel to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
10015 both viable names for the mips big endian arch, and mipsel is also needed
10016 * Update dpkg-architecture's archtable
10017 * Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
10018 of the registered alternatives for a specific name
10019 * Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
10020 and uses
10021 * Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
10022 it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor in dselect
10023 * Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
10024 * Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
10025 when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
10026 this is just a documentation fix).
10027 * Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
10028 it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
10029 * Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
10030 a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
10031 * Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
10032 * When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
10033 packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
10034 and continue.
10035 * Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
10036 the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
10037 output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
10038 * Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
10039 we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
10040 already generated anyway
10041 * Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
10042 to libtool itself after running configure
10043 * Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
10044 Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
10045 arch
10046 * Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
10047 this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
10048 different in layout
10049 * Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
10050 for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
10051 largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
10052 * debian/rules: chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
10053 in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
10054 distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
10055 simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
10056 source.
10057 * Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
10058 pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
10059 * When running --configure on an already installed package, just
10060 say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
10061 state
10062 * Fixed some compiler warnings
10063 * Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
10064 since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
10065 borked in the first place
10066 * Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
10067 * Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
10068 * start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
10069 * update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
10070 are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
10071 to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
10072 * dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
10073 destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
10074 changing the diversion registry
10075 * Fix bad regex in update-rc.d

11676 * installation by default of `standard' packages removed again.
11677 (I don't think this is the right place to do this.)

11692 * `hold' flag changed to be settable by the user only, and
11693 made orthogonal to the `reinstallation required' flag.
11694 * dpkg will install by default any packages with priority of
11695 `standard' or better unless they're explicitly deselected.
11696
11697 * dselect dependency/conflict resolution will suggest marking absent
11698 packages for `purge' rather than `deinstall'.
11699 * disk method script produces message about invoking dpkg.

12084 * Major improvements and many changes to C option parsing, database
12085 management, error handling, Makefiles &c to support dpkg.
12086 * dpkg-deb should now work if sizeof(void*) < sizeof(void(*)()).

12090dpkg (0.93.37) BETA; priority=LOW (MEDIUM for dselect users)
12091
12092 * Fixed segfault if no description available (Bug#735);
12093 thanks to Peter Tobias for the bug report.
12094 * Fixed other assorted minor bugs in description displays.
12095
12096 * Changed dpkg-deb --info short option from -i to -I, to make
12097 it unique across dpkg and dpkg-deb (-i still works with
12098 dpkg-deb for backwards compatibility).
12099
12100 * Produce more sensible error when main package list is empty.

12104dpkg (0.93.36) BETA; priority=LOW (MEDIUM for dselect users)
12105
12106 * All the C code (including dselect) updated to support `provides'
12107 (virtual packages).
12108 * Revamped dselect's related package selection/deselection
12109 algorithms.
12110 * Everything can now handle arbitrary `class' values (as well
12111 as the predefined ones which we understand and can interpret).
12112 * Fixed bug that prevented display update when moving down a small
12113 recursive package list in dselect.
12114 * Column heading characters corrected from `SHOC' to `HSOC'.

12119
12120 * Preserve ownerships and permissions on configuration files.
12121 * Fix bug in conffile updating that could leave a hardlink
12122 <foo>.dpkg-new to the conffile <foo>.
12123
12124 * Improved dselect's package list help messages.
12125 * Highlight now moves on after (de)selecting just one package.
12126 * Better algorithm for scrolling up/down when moving highlight.
12127 * Fixed bug in display of `preformatted' extended Description lines.
12128 (dselect is still ALPHA, but is fairly stable.)
12129
12130 * Improved dpkg's message when configuring a package that doesn't
12131 exist, and when selecting or skipping a package that isn't
12132 currently selected (during unpack processing).
12133
12134 * Description in control file expanded.
12135
12136 * Scroll back to top when changing what is in the `info' area.
12137

12139
12140 * dselect: Fixed bug which caused a coredump if you exited the
12141 package list if you'd made any changes. Ouch !
12142
12143 * dselect: Improved selection algorithm to show fewer extraneous
12144 packages; improved display for unavailable packages.
12145
12146 * dpkg: Improved progress messages during unpacking somewhat.
12147
12148dpkg (0.93.33) BETA; priority=LOW (HIGH for dselect users)

12159 /usr/sbin/dselect.
12160 * dpkg (0.93.32): Many portability enhancements: should now
12161 compile using GCC 2.6.3, and dpkg-deb should
12162 compile better on non-Linux systems.

12164 and it needs to prompt.
12165 * dpkg (0.93.32): Fixed removal dependency error to show
12166 correct package (Bug #648).

12175 dselect directories.
12176 * dpkg (0.93.32): Added vercmp.c with version comparison code.
12177 * dpkg (0.93.32): varbufextend message changed - varbufs not
12178 just for input buffers.
12179 * dpkg (0.93.32): varbuf has C++ member functions in header
12180 #ifdef __cplusplus.
12181
12182Changes in dpkg 0.93.31:
12183
12184* start-stop-daemon --pidfile now works (Bug#571).
12185* Fixed dependency processing bugs which could require a rerun of
12186 dpkg --configure (Bug#566).
12187* Fixed garbage output for `language' of control file in dpkg-deb --info.
12188
12189Changes in dpkg 0.93.30:
12190

12193Changes in dpkg 0.93.09:
12194
12195* Made postinst scripts really be run when dpkg --purge used.
12196* Added new --force-extractfail option - VERY DANGEROUS.
12197
12198Changes in dpkg 0.93.28:
12199
12200* Removed undef of 0x_p21 in read_database_file, which caused the
12201 the whole status database to become trashed when any update files
12202 were read.
12203* Make infinite-loop prevention and cycle detection work.
12204* Made findbreakcycle work (ie, break properly when cycle detected).
12205* New script, update-rc.d, to update links /etc/rc?.d/[KS]??*.
12206* dpkg.pl now sets the umask to 022.
12207* Cosmetic error message fix to dpkg-deb.
12208* Deleted OLD directory altogether.
12209* Improved error-trapping in top-level Makefile loops.
12210
12211Changes in dpkg 0.93.27:
12212

12214* Added AC_PROG_CXX to autoconf.in for dselect.
12215* Changed myopt.h not to have cipaction field in cmdinfo (this was
12216 specially for dpkg-deb) - now we have a generic void*.
12217* Renamed `class' member of `pkginfoperfile' to `clas' [sic].
12218* Much work in `dselect' subdirectory.
12219* Deleted executables, objects and libraries from OLD tree !

12229

12232* Corrected typo in ChangeLog in 0.93.24 source package.
12233
12234Changes in dpkg 0.93.24:
12235
12236* dpkg could copy conffiles info from one package to another. Aargh.
12237 Bug #426.
12238* dpkg failed to initialise status if you tried to remove or
12239 configure a nonexistent package. Bug #419.
12240* install-info now handles START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY entries like:
12241 * Gdb:: The GNU debugger.
12242 Previously it would only accept (Bug #407):
12243 * Gdb: (gdb). The GNU debugger.
12244* When installing a new foo.info[.gz], install-info now replaces
12245 * Foo: (foo.info). The Gnoo Foo.
12246 as well as just * Foo: (foo). ...
12247* Moved option parsing out of dpkg-deb into libdpkg.
12248* Assorted minor source code rearrangements.
12249* Fixed assorted copyright notices, clarified md5sum copyright.
12250* Corrected typo in 0.93.23 source package's ChangeLog.
12251
12252Changes in dpkg 0.93.23:
12253
12254* `dpkg-deb' --build now does a syntax check on the control file.
12255* `dselect' is now no longer called `debian', spurious copy removed
12256 from package top-level source directory.
12257* C control information parsing complete and somewhat tested.
12258* Moved `global' include files into $(srcdir)/include from ../lib,
12259 added some files to the lib Makefile, and arranged for pop_cleanup().
12260
12261Changes in dpkg 0.93.22:
12262
12263* Fixed bug which caused dpkg to see failures of md5sum where there
12264 were none (would also have caused dpkg to miss a real failure).
12265* Fixed failure to update some `status' database fields.
12266
12267Changes in dpkg 0.93.21:
12268
12269* Fixed error-handling bug which could corrupt database.
12270
12271Changes in dpkg 0.93.20:
12272
12273* Fixed bug which ran old (/var/adm/dpkg) postinst scripts.
12274* Fixed dpkg usage message which claimed -i => both --install & --info.
12275* Use Colin Plumb's MD5 code - faster, and better copyright.
12276* Manpages: dpkg-deb(8), deb-control(5), deb(5) - thanks to Raul
12277 Deluth Miller. Also, an xfig picture of some C program innards.
12278
12279Changes in dpkg 0.93.19:
12280
12281* Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database.
12282* Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling.
12283* Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the
12284 `dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles. This means
12285 that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of
12286 /etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead. However, the
12287 link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles.
12288* When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that
12289 wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't
12290 do any prompting but just install the version from the archive.
12291* Corrected error message if exec of dpkg --vextract failed
12292 and --instroot or --root specified.
12293* Added new --force-unpack-any option.
12294* Extra newline after --status output.
12295* Added -W options to CFLAGS.
12296* Fixed mistake in previous ChangeLog entry.

12299
12300* Fixed invocation of dpkg-deb --vextract if --root or --instdir
12301 not specified.
12302* Create /var/lib/dpkg/updates.
12303
12304Changes in dpkg 0.93.17:
12305
12306* install-info --remove exits with status 0 if it doesn't find the
12307 thing to remove, instead of status 1.
12308* Error handling functions have __attribute__((format...)) if GCC.
12309* push_cleanup its arg takes void **argv instead of char **argv.
12310* Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops.
12311* dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages.
12312
12313Changes in dpkg 0.93.16:
12314
12315* Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'.
12316* install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask.
12317* Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail,
12318 and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways.
12319* dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with
12320 /var/{adm,lib}/dpkg. Should be faster.
12321* Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised.
12322
12323Changes in dpkg 0.93.15:
12324
12325* Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive.
12326* Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib.
12327* Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search.
12328* Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but
12329 dpkg-deb not yet updated).
12330* Added --root, --admindir and --instdir, as well as --isok &c.
12331* Moved much stuff into /usr/lib/dpkg-lib.pl, rewritten status
12332 database handling.
12333* Put packages in `purge' state even if `deinstall' requested if
12334 they have no postrm and no conffiles.
12335* Version number comparisons fixed.
12336* insert-version.pl now installes lib.pl filename too.
12337* Strip trailing slashes when reading files from file lists.
12338
12339Changes in dpkg 0.93.14:
12340
12341* Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace.
12342* postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file.
12343* Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider
12344 packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead.
12345* Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old
12346 configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles.
12347
12348Changes in dpkg 0.93.13:
12349
12350* sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl.
12351* Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error
12352 if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file.
12353* Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call.
12354* New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN
12355 directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst.
12356
12357Changes in dpkg 0.93.12:
12358
12359* No longer needs *.ph files, since these appear to be broken.
12360* Postinst fixes up *.control files with curly brackets.
12361* embryo of dselect.
12362
12363Changes in dpkg 0.93.11:
12364
12365* New --ignore-depends option.
12366* This ChangeLog changed format here.

12385
12386 * postinst does h2ph for {sys,linux}/{stat,types}.ph if required.
12387
12388Mon Nov 28 02:00:13 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>

12393

12395
12396 * Makefiles reworked, debian.rules added.
12397
12398 * Don't install anything in /usr/doc/examples.
12399

12401
12402Thu Oct 20 13:22:20 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12403
12404 * dpkg 0.93.9 released.
12405
12406 * dpkg.pl: Use $argument, not $package, with `--build'.
12407 Make sure that saved postinst scripts are executable.
12408

12410
12411 * dpkg 0.93.8 released.
12412
12413 * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir ()
12414 when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this
12415 case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and
12416 are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence).
12417
12418Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12419
12420 * Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards.
12421
12422 * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are
12423 removed LAST! This will result in complete removal of packages
12424 when --remove is called. dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems
12425 with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which
12426 will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time.
12427
12428 * deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name.
12429
12430Tue Oct 4 12:27:10 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12431
12432 * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): When a list file cannot be
12433 opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
12434
12435 * deb/util.c (return_info): When a control file cannot be opened,
12436 silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
12437
12438 * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Exit 0 if the regular expression is
12439 matched and 1 if it is not.
12440
12441Mon Oct 3 18:38:53 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12442
12443 * dpkg.pl: New file. Replaces dpkg.sh.
12444
12445 * deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'.
12446
12447 * deb/build.c (pkg_build): `--build' is less verbose, instead
12448 letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
12449
12450 * deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto.
12451
12452 * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto.
12453
12454 * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto.
12455
12456 * deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose,
12457 instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
12458 The ``Description:'' label has been removed.
12459
12460 * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose,
12461 instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
12462 The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer
12463 information.
12464
12465Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12466
12467 * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' now reports the
12468 version number of dpkg if no argument is specified.
12469
12470Thu Sep 1 13:31:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12471
12472 * dpkg 0.93.7 released.
12473
12474 * deb/build.c (pkg_build): check status and exit if non-zero.
12475
12476 * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): ditto.
12477
12478 * deb/install.c (archive_extract): ditto.
12479
12480Thu Sep 1 13:20:08 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12481
12482 * deb/version.c (pkg_version): indent to the same point as
12483 pkg_describe.
12484
12485Thu Sep 1 12:21:11 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12486
12487 * Makefile.in (dist): added debian.rules binary, source and
12488 dist targets to make final distribution easier to make.
12489 (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
12490
12491 * deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
12492
12493 * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters
12494 for the package name in the output.
12495 (pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for
12496 the front-end to parse the output.
12497 (pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description
12498 with '\0'.
12499
12500 * deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to
12501 ensure that permissions are preserved.
12502
12503Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12504
12505 * dpkg 0.93.6 released.
12506
12507 * deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is
12508 true!
12509
12510Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
12511
12512 * dpkg 0.93.5 released.
12513
12514 * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents
12515 into function pkg_contents.
12516
12517 * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so
12518 that symbolic links are recognized.
12519 (pkg_contents): print the usual `<path> -> <link_to>' now that we
12520 recognize symbolic links.
12521
12522 * deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed
12523 information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory
12524 in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do.

12527
12528 * lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed
12529 area.
12530 (mk_mode_string): ditto.
12531
12532 * dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a
12533 uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation.
12534
12535 * dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during
12536 package removal.
12537
12538 * dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure.
12539
12540 * deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and
12541 is a Debian archive before doing anything.
12542
12543 * deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and
12544 is a Debian archive before doing anything.
12545
12546 * deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done.
12547
12548 * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that
12549 --remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a
12550 directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic
12551 link never being removed at all.
