dpkg 1.15.8.2ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.15.8.2ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Adjust versioned emacs22 conflicts to cope with versions in Ubuntu.
    - cputable: Set cpu to i686 for arch i386.

dpkg (1.15.8.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bump libdpkg-perl Depends on dpkg to 1.15.8, as it will break dpkg
    versions before that when installing and removing libdpkg-perl,
    because older update-alternatives and dpkg-divert require Dpkg.pm and
    Dpkg/Gettext.pm which will disappear due to the Replaces. Closes: #590867
    Thanks to Sven Joachim <email address hidden> for the analysis.
  * Allow specifying again absolute and relative paths for dpkg-buildpackage
    -r option. Closes: #591010

dpkg (1.15.8.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix off-by-one error in update-alternatives that lead to an infinite loop
    while writing the administrative file. Closes: #590854

dpkg (1.15.8) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Raphaël Hertzog ]
  * Add new commands --before-build and --after-build to dpkg-source
    and modify dpkg-buildpackage to call them automatically at the
    start and at the end of the process. With "3.0 (quilt)" source packages
    this ensures patches are applied even in case of binary-only builds.
    Closes: #572526
  * Merge non-regression test for Ubuntu's specificities concerning
    changelog handling. Closes: #582389
  * Fix some copy-paste mistakes in dpkg-architecture(1). Thanks to Ian Fleming
    <email address hidden> for the patch and Colin Watson for forwarding out of
    Launchpad. Closes: #582404 LP: #564308
  * Clarify description of dpkg --configure in dpkg(1). Thanks to Colin Watson
    for the patch and to Robert Persson for the report.
    Closes: #582406 LP: #77287
  * Fix the non-regression test lib/dpkg/test/t-ar.c by not overflowing the
    size of ar_name. Thanks to Colin Watson for the report, analysis and patch.
    Closes: #582401
  * Modify Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump to use the cross objdump binary when cross
    compiling. Thanks to Loïc Minier for the initial patch. Closes: #578365
  * Make dpkg-maintscript-helper more robust when required parameters are
    missing. Closes: #582814
  * Clarify that dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile needs the last version of
    the package that did not remove the obsolete conffile if this was not
    implemented at the time the file became obsolete. Closes: #582893
  * Enhance dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile and mv_conffile to work
    properly when <lastversion> is not given (or is empty). Closes: #582819
  * Small fix in dpkg-gensymbols' handling of tags. Closes: #583656
    Thanks to Michael Tautschnig <email address hidden> for the report and the fix.
  * update-alternatives has been rewritten in C, the only feature change
    should be that it uses its own logfile /var/log/alternatives.log (rotated
    like dpkg.log).
  * Implement new --unapply-patches option for dpkg-source with source formats
    2.0 and 3.0 (quilt) that unapplies the patches after a successful build.
    This option can be put in debian/source/local-options in the package VCS
    repository for instance.
  * Implement new --abort-on-upstream-changes option for dpkg-source with
    source formats 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 (quilt). It aborts every time that you try
    to build a source package which contains (unmanaged) changes to the
    upstream source code. Closes: #579012
  * dpkg-source now captures the output of patch and prints it on error so
    that the user can better diagnose what went wrong. Closes: #575304
  * Fix Dpkg::Changelog to cope properly with an entry of version "0".
    Add non-regression test for this. Closes: #587382
  * Add --export command to dpkg-buildflags to be used in shell with eval.
  * Modify source format "3.0 (git)" to use git bundles. Thanks to Joey Hess
    for the patch.
    The usage of git bundle avoids distributing cruft. Closes: #477954
    It's no longer needed to tell which branch contains the debian packaging,
    it uses automatically the one that was used at build-time. Closes: #534637
  * Pass --no-name option to gzip to avoid encoding the timestamp in the file
    so that the result is more predictable. Closes: #587724
    Also pass --rsyncable to make source packages more rsync friendly.
  * Replace dpkg-source's tar ignore pattern "*~" with "*/*~" to avoid
    matching on the top level directory. Closes: #588265
  * In source formats "2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)", make sure to remove the
    upstream-provided debian directory before copying the debian-provided
    version of that directory in place. Closes: #590297

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Require gettext 0.18:
    - Remove embedded gettext files from the repository, now properly
      installed by autopoint for all po/ directories.
    - Add versioned Build-Depends.
  * Fix variable usage after delete in dselect.
  * Change default configure admindir to LOCALSTATEDIR/lib/dpkg from
    LOCALSTATEDIR/dpkg, so that we can use a correct --localstatedir=/var.
  * Add two new dpkg options --path-exclude and --path-include for filtering
    files on package installation. This allows embedded systems to skip
    /usr/share/doc, manpages, etc. Based on work from Tollef Fog Heen and
    Martin Pitt, thanks! Closes: #68788, #68861, #497304, #525567, #583902
  * Remove obsolete internal status aliases “postinst-failed” for
    stat_halfconfigured and “removal-failed” for stat_halfinstalled.
  * Check version syntax when parsing it from libdpkg based programs.
    Closes: #574704
  * Rewrite mksplit in C, and merge it into dpkg-split.
  * Rewrite dpkg-divert in C.
  * Use linux-any wildcard for libselinux1-dev Build-Depends instead of
    using a list of negated architectures.
  * Use Breaks instead of Conflicts in dpkg, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl binary
    packages.
  * Move Dpkg.pm and Dpkg/Gettext.pm from dpkg to libdpkg-perl.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1.
  * Detect when another process has locked the database, and mention that
    problematic dpkg --audit results might be due to ongoing operations.
    Closes: #80252
  * Add new dpkg --force-confask option that forces a conffile prompt when
    the conffile from the new package does not differ from the previous one.
    Thanks to Henning Makholm <email address hidden>. Closes: #102609
  * On dpkg-divert --rename, check if the source file exists, and disable
    renaming if it does not. Closes: #550252
    As a side effect, this avoids useless errors when the destination
    directory is not existent or writable. Closes: #581544
  * Properly compute the longest package description from all to be displayed
    on “dpkg-query --list”, so that it does not get incorrectly trimmed.
  * Consistently use earlier/later instead of smaller/bigger when describing
    comparison relationships. Closes: #587641
  * Stop exporting DPKG_LIBDIR to maintainer scripts, no need for it anymore.
  * Assign correct SE Linux label on non-regular files. Based on a patch by
    Russell Coker <email address hidden>. Closes: #587949
  * Add -F option to dpkg-buildpackage to be able to explicitly specify a
    normal full build and combine it with -nc. Closes: #547993
  * Add missing mentions of the Breaks field alongside the other fields
    sharing the same syntax in deb-control(5).
    Thanks to Osamu Aoki <email address hidden>. Closes: #590472
