Closes: #435126 + - the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package + containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can + generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way + (like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918 + - the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based + on corresponding VCS repositories.

Also, an xfig picture of some C program innards. + +Changes in dpkg 0.93.19: + +* Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database. +* Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling. +* Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the + `dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles. This means + that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of + /etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead. However, the + link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles. +* When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that + wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't + do any prompting but just install the version from the archive. +* Corrected error message if exec of dpkg --vextract failed + and --instroot or --root specified. +* Added new --force-unpack-any option. +* Extra newline after --status output. +* Added -W options to CFLAGS. +* Fixed mistake in previous ChangeLog entry. + +Changes in dpkg 0.93.18: + +* Fixed invocation of dpkg-deb --vextract if --root or --instdir + not specified. +* Create /var/lib/dpkg/updates. + +Changes in dpkg 0.93.17: + +* install-info --remove exits with status 0 if it doesn't find the + thing to remove, instead of status 1. +* Error handling functions have __attribute__((format...)) if GCC. +* push_cleanup its arg takes void **argv instead of char **argv. +* Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops. +* dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages. + +Changes in dpkg 0.93.16: + +* Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'. +* install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask. +* Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail, + and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways. +* dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with + /var/{adm,lib}/dpkg. Should be faster. +* Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised. + +Changes in dpkg 0.93.15: + +* Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive. +* Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib. +* Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search. +* Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but + dpkg-deb not yet updated). +* Added --root, --admindir and --instdir, as well as --isok &c. +* Moved much stuff into /usr/lib/dpkg-lib.pl, rewritten status + database handling. +* Put packages in `purge' state even if `deinstall' requested if + they have no postrm and no conffiles. +* Version number comparisons fixed. +* insert-version.pl now installs lib.pl filename too. +* Strip trailing slashes when reading files from file lists. + +Changes in dpkg 0.93.14: + +* Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace. +* postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file. +* Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider + packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead. +* Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old + configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles. + +Changes in dpkg 0.93.13: + +* sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl. +* Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error + if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file. +* Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call. +* New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN + directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst. + +Changes in dpkg 0.93.12: + +* No longer needs *.ph files, since these appear to be broken. +* Postinst fixes up *.control files with curly brackets. +* embryo of dselect. + +Changes in dpkg 0.93.11: + +* New --ignore-depends option. +* This ChangeLog changed format here. + +Wed Nov 30 15:38:21 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> + + * dpkg 0.93.11 released. + + * conffile updating fixed. + + * Message `upgrade' in dpkg changed to `replace'. + + * install-info now copes with multi-line entries. + + * version numbers now done automatically in dpkg and install-info. + + * more debugging around conffiles updates. + + * *.hash files not deleted so soon. + + * adds brand new packages to status array so we can install them. + + * postinst does h2ph for {sys,linux}/{stat,types}.ph if required. + +Mon Nov 28 02:00:13 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> + + * dpkg 0.93.10 released. + + * dpkg.pl completely rewritten. + + * dpkg-deb: removed dabase-processing and --install option. + + * Makefiles reworked, debian.rules added. + + * Don't install anything in /usr/doc/examples. + + * dpkg-*.deb contains /usr/bin/dpkg-deb.dist, fixed up by postinst. + +Thu Oct 20 13:22:20 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) + + * dpkg 0.93.9 released. + + * dpkg.pl: Use $argument, not $package, with `--build'. + Make sure that saved postinst scripts are executable. + +Tue Oct 18 09:40:57 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) + + * dpkg 0.93.8 released. + + * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir () + when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this + case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and + are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence). + +Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org) + + * Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards. + + * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are + removed LAST!
