Changelog
dpkg (1.15.7.2) unstable; urgency=low
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Update dpkg-buildflags to respect $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and to use
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dpkg/buildflags.conf by default.
* Update deb-substvars(5) to codify how variables containing multiple
lines must be managed.
* Fix boolean evaluation of Dpkg::Version so that version 0 evaluates to
false and dpkg-shlibdeps can strip the minimal version specification.
Closes: #579724
Document this behaviour in the API and add non-regression test to ensure
it's kept.
* Let dpkg-buildflags error out when a required parameter is missing.
Closes: #579722
* Add Bug-Ubuntu field in DEP-3 template provided in the automatic header
of patches in 3.0 (quilt) source packages. Thanks to Benjamin Drung
<email address hidden> for the patch. Closes: #578002
* Update deb-override(5) by removing references to usage of sections
to place the packages on the mirrors and by indicating that the Debian
policy offers a list of allowed values for section and priority.
Closes: #575410
* Update reference to triggers.txt.gz in dpkg-trigger(1) and deb-triggers(5)
to match the new location. Closes: #580774
* Drop mention of PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage(1), the feature has
been removed in 1.15.6.
* Rename /usr/lib/dpkg/maintscript-helper into
/usr/bin/dpkg-maintscript-helper, it is a public interface even if working
around known limitations.
* Add "supports" command to dpkg-maintscript-helper to ensure the wanted
command is supported before calling it.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add powerpcspe support to ostable and triplettable.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <email address hidden> and
Kyle Moffett <email address hidden>. Closes: #568123, #575158
* Fix dpkg --root by properly stripping again the root directory from the
path of the maintainer script to execute. Closes: #580984
* On Linux use sync() instead of an fsync() per file on deferred extraction,
to workaround performance degradation on ext4. Closes: #578635
[ Gerfried Fuchs ]
* Fix syntax error in dpkg-name. Closes: #581315
