Changelog
dpkg (1.17.6) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Move signing in dpkg-buildpackage to the end of the build.
* Add new --check-command and --check-option options to dpkg-buildpackage,
and DEB_CHECK_COMMAND environment variable as a default value, to
specify a package checker to use before the signing process.
* Detect a missing gain-root-command even if dpkg-buildpackage is running
as root.
* Detect a missing sign-command in dpkg-buildpackage, before starting the
build, to avoid a failure at the end of the process.
* Remove trailing newlines from dpkg-deb warning message.
* Change dpkg-deb conffile name length warning into an error, as dpkg will
reject those packages at install time anyway.
* Unify and clarify dpkg-deb and dpkg conffile name length error message.
Closes: #108196
* Add new start-stop-daemon --pid option. Closes: #253265
* Mention Multi-Arch: no value in man pages. Closes: #732648
* Correctly hyphenate binary-only and source-only in dpkg-buildpackage
output messages.
* Use makedev(3) when extracting .deb archives rather than ad-hoc
computations, to be able to support large major/minor device numbers,
supported on at least Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD based systems.
Thanks to Peter Chang <email address hidden>.
* Turn the ARM Embedded ABI symbols blacklist into a regex, to stop having
to keep up with the GNU toolchain, or other toolchains emitting different
symbols.
* Blacklist GOMP critical section symbols. Closes: #708033
* Add support for Ignore-Blacklist-Groups field in symbols files, with the
two available group values aeabi and gomp. Closes: #694524
* Allow updating checksums in Dpkg::Checksums without erroring out.
* Add shell hooks support to dpkg-buildpackage, based on the debuild
implementation in devscripts 2.13.9. Closes: #476221
* Add support for Testsuite source field.
* Clarify error message about missing revision in non-native source package.
Closes: #719348, #733746
* Set default compression options in source format specific modules instead
of dpkg-source. This makes sure the correct compression level is set, even
for “3.0 (native)” packages with non-default compressors. Closes: #733326
* Change default source package compressor for new formats (>= 2.0) to xz.
* Ignore the same packages in «dpkg-query --list» when computing the
column width as when printing the entries. Closes: #734114
* Do not produce .deb archives with uncompressed gzip members on
«dpkg-deb -Zgzip -z0», instead create them as non-compressed members,
as if -Znone had been passed, as documented. Closes: #718295
* Add support for .deb archives with a control member not compressed
(control.tar) or compressed with xz (control.tar.xz).
* Add support for creating uniformly compressed .deb archive members,
with the new dpkg-deb option --uniform-compression.
* Fix file descriptor leaks in diversions and statoverride databases.
Closes: #734783
* Allow missing prior-version argument in dpkg-maintscript-helper
dir_to_symlink and symlink_to_dir commands. Closes: #733980
