+	* man/update-alternatives.8: Document the new option.
+	* scripts/t/900_update_alternatives.t: Call update-alternatives
+	with --log /dev/null since the test suite can be run with fakeroot

+	makes it believe that it is writable.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: update-alternatives should not
+	replace real files by symlinks. When --install is called, the
+	alternative link should either not exist or already be a link. It
+	that's not the case, it will simply skip installing that link and
+	display a warning. However if --force is given, it will (try to)
+	replace the file.
+	* man/update-alternatives.8: Document this behaviour.
+	* scripts/t/900_update_alternatives.t: Add corresponding tests in
+	the test suite.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* man/update-alternatives.8: Document how --all can be used to
+	repair all alternatives on the system in a single command.
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Ensure the above explanation
+	is true by ensuring that --config does something sensible when
+	no alternative is currently selected and when the user input is
+	empty: it will auto-select the best alternative.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Implement --set-selections.
+	It's the counterpart of --get-selections, it reads
+	configuration on standard input and reconfigures alternatives
+	accordingly.
+	* man/update-alternatives.8: Document this option.
+	* scripts/t/900_update_alternatives.t: Add corresponding tests in
+	the test suite.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Implement --get-selections.
+	The new option lists all master alternatives and their status in a
+	format simple to parse.
+	* man/update-alternatives.8: Document this option.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Installation of a slave
+	alternative link is only done if the corresponding slave file is
+	available.
+	* man/update-alternatives.8: Document this behaviour.
+	* scripts/t/900_update_alternatives.t: Add corresponding tests in
+	the test suite.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Add more sanity check for
+	--install: ensure alternative path and links are absolute, ensure
+	master alternative path exists, forbid / and spaces in alternative
+	names.
+	* scripts/t/900_update_alternatives.t: Add corresponding tests in
+	the test suite.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Checks that --install does not
+	reuse alternatives or links in a way that is not compatible with
+	the current setup.
+	* scripts/t/900_update_alternatives.t: Add corresponding tests in
+	the test suite.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Add logging to
+	/var/log/dpkg.log.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* man/update-alternatives.8: The vocabulary used was misleading
+	and not really uniform. Try to standardize and make it match with
+	the vocabulary used in the source code too.
+	Includes minor fixes to make it match the behaviour of the current
+	implementation.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Rewrite it entirely in a more
+	object-oriented way. The only behaviour changes concern --config:
+	the output is nicer and sorted, it accepts a path as well as the
+	index of the choice.
+	* scripts/t/900_update_alternatives.t: Test suite adjusted to the
+	--config change.
+
+2009-02-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl, scripts/dpkg-gensymbols.pl: Reset
+	umask to 0022 to ensure that files created in the DEBIAN directory
+	have sane permissions.

+	they have --display or --list options that do not require
+	administrative rights.
+	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add debian/dpkg.links.
+
+2009-02-11  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>

+
+2009-02-06  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Change set_links() to
+	also reset the main alternative link. Add a parameter to
+	make it quiet.

+	let it recreate the symlinks in case something has gone wrong.
+
+2009-02-06  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Remove the alternative when

+
+2009-02-05  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Ensure that a broken link
+	in automatic mode doesn't lead to the alternative being set
+	on manual mode. Also displays by default (and not only
+	when --verbose is given) the message that indicates that

+
+2009-02-05  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+            Osamu Aoki  <osamu@debian.org>

+2008-12-01  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Archive.pm (extract): Do not create the temp
+	directory in the current directory but in the parent directory of

+
+2008-10-20  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Shlibs/SymbolFile.pm (load): Let the recursively
+	nested calls to load() modify the name of the current object so
+	that the header can be set in an included file (like it's already

+
+2008-09-26  Thiemo Seufer  <ths@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Shlibs/SymbolFile.pm: add "__gnu_local_gp" symbol

+
+2008-08-29  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-gensymbols.pl: It was already skipping symlinks
+	within the package build tree. Now it also skips real
+	directories accessed through a symlink contained in the package
+	build tree. Package like libc6-386 had symlinks usr/lib32
+	pointing to some directories outside of the build tree and
+	the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set by fakeroot led contained
+	/usr/lib32/libfakeroot which made dpkg-gensymbols scan this
+	directory and add libfakeroot to the libc6-386 symbols file!
+
+2008-08-29  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/quilt.pm: run_quilt() can be run
+	when no quilt series file exist yet. In that case we have to
+	provide the name of the series file that we want to create (as the
+	quilt command might create it). Up to now
+	File::Spec->rel2abs(undef) returned the name of the current
+	directory and we improperly used that as value of QUILT_SERIES.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2.pm (do_build): Change permissions
+	of the automatically generated patch which is initially created
+	0600 with tempfile().

+2008-06-07  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/quilt.pm (register_autopatch):
+	Register the newly created patch with quilt only if quilt has
+	already been used to apply the existing patches (or if we don't
+	have any patch yet), otherwise register it manually at the end of
+	the series.
+
+2008-06-05  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Patch.pm (add_diff_directory): If option
+	use_dev_null is set, then the label of the "old" file will be
+	'/dev/null' if we're creating a new file (instead of using the
+	name of the created file, like it's currently done in .diff
+	of version "1.0" source packages).
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2.pm (prepare_build): Use the new
+	option "use_dev_null" when creating the automatic patch.
+
+2008-06-05  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/quilt.pm (get_patches): Really
+	skip all comments in the series files.
+
+2008-06-04  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Patch.pm (analyze): Enhance function to
+	parse correctly many more patches that are accepted by the patch
+	utility itself:
+	- ignore/strip carriage return of patches with Windows end of lines
+	- accept empty lines as contextual lines (instead of the expected " ")
+	- accept spaces as separator between filename and timestamp if
+	  there's no tab
+	- accept a name that differs on the +++ line if the name in --- is
+	  correct, and use the name in +++ if this one exists while the one
+	  on --- doesn't.
+
+2008-05-28  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm (extract): If we extract a
+	source package that uses a non-standard (!= 1.0) source package
+	then we create debian/source/format to remember it.
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Use debian/source/format as a new source
+	of format to try when building the package. Prioritize it lower than
+	command line and debian/control but higher than the default build
+	formats.
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Document the above changes.
+
+2008-05-28  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/quilt.pm: Factorize calls to
+	quilt in a new run_quilt() function. And check only once
+	if quilt is available while setting the default value of
+	without_quilt option. Last but not least, register properly the
+	automatically generated patch with quilt import.
+
+2008-05-28  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Patch.pm (check_apply): New function to
+	verify if a patch will successfully apply on top of a given
+	directory.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/quilt.pm (check_patches_applied):
+	Don't trust debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied blindly. Get a
+	list of (supposedly unapplied) patches and verify if the first
+	patch applies or not. If yes, then apply the patch series,
+	otherwise do not (and assume that the patch series is already
+	applied).
+
+2008-05-26  Helge Kreutzmann  <debian@helgefjell.de>
+
+	* man/dselect.1: Fixed a typo and regenerated all po(t) files,
+	including updating the German one.
+
+2008-05-23  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2.pm (do_build): Display a
+	message when local modifications are stored in a new
+	automatic patch. This messages includes a list of
+	modified files.
+
+2008-05-23  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/quilt.pm: Remove the .diff
+	from the name of the automatically generated patch. It will
+	facilitate the switch to this format: packages using
+	patch system that apply debian/patches/*.{patch,diff}
+	will not be bothered by the presence of the quilt series
+	created by dpkg-source itself.
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Update the documentation accordingly.
+
+2008-05-22  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/quilt.pm: Add missing "use
+	File::Path" for mkpath().
+
+2008-05-13  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* src/main.c (setforce): Add help output for '--force-breaks'.
+
+2008-05-13  Sven Joachim  <svenjoac@gmx.de>
+
+	* man/dpkg.1: Document triggers --debug values.
+
+2008-05-13  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* man/deb-version.5: Change '©' to '(C)'.
+
+2008-05-12  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.14.20~.
+
+2008-05-12  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* configure.ac: Release 1.14.19.
+
+2008-05-12  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Get Package-Type field value also from
+	custom field.
+
+2008-05-11  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* src/processarc.c (process_archive): While removing files that
+	disappeared, move the call to namenodetouse before the test
+	that skips directory shared with other packages. This is required
+	because namenodetouse() handles trigger activation and we really
+	want directories containing (only) removed files to activate the
+	corresponding triggers.
+
+2008-05-08  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2.pm,
+	scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/quilt.pm: Ensure the
+	.dpkg-source-applied stamp file is created when an automatic patch
+	is created so that a second build doesn't try to mistakenly
+	reapply it.
+
+2008-05-08  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Functions.pm (is_binary): New function
+	to check if a file is binary by using diff against it.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2.pm: Check that all files from the
+	debian sub-directory are non-binary and only allow whitelisted
+	binary files.
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Document this behaviour.
+
+2008-05-08  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Changelog/Debian.pm (parse): Bugfix in creation of
+	an unexpected new changelog entry that lacks a header line.
+
+2008-05-04  Marco d'Itri  <md@linux.it>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Patch.pm: Add missing import of internerr.
+
+2008-04-26  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm (upgrade_object_type): Instead
+	of using the full Format: version to deduce the perl object name
+	use only the major part of the version. The minor part is under
+	control of the corresponding object, that way they can evolve
+	and indicate that the source package has changed in a backwards
+	compatible way. See
+	https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2008/04/msg00045.html
+	Also add a new parameter to disable update of the minor version in
+	the Format field.
+	(initialize): Don't let the Format field be updated by
+	upgrade_object_type() as this function only loads information from
+	the .dsc into the object.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/**: Rename V1_0.pm into V1.pm,
+	V2_0.pm into V2.pm and V3_0/ into V3/. Fix perl package names
+	accordingly. Integrated a $CURRENT_MINOR_VERSION set to "0"
+	in all packages.
+	* scripts/Makefile.am, scripts/po/POTFILES.in: Update the lists
+	according to above file renames.
+
+2008-04-25  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/quilt.pm: Parse correctly
+	series files with patch options and warn if something else than
+	-p1 is used.
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Document how dpkg-source handles those patch
+	options in series files.
+
+2008-04-25  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/native.pm: Fix permissions of
+	generated tarball to "666 & ~umask()".
+
+2008-04-21  Helge Kreutzmann  <debian@helgefjell.de>
+
+	* man/dpkg-shlibdeps.1: Fix a typo.
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Improve a sentence (with agreement from Raphäel).
+
+2008-04-14  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Fields.pm (find_custom_field, get_custom_field):
+	New function to handle custom fields (X[SBC]*-*).
+	* scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: Use Package-Type control field to
+	decide if a package is an udeb instead of relying on the file
+	extension of a generated package since that doesn't work when
+	generating source-only uploads for example.
+
+2008-04-14  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Patch.pm (_fail_not_same_type): Fix
+	inversion between new/old filetype.
+
+2008-04-12  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Path.pm (check_files_are_the_same): Add a new
+	parameter so that we can use stat() instead of lstat() and
+	compare if pointed files are the same.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm: Resolve symlinks before deciding
+	if both original tarballs are the same or not. Use the new
+	parameter of check_files_are_the_same() for this.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V1_0.pm: Remove useless import of
+	check_files_are_the_same.
+
+2008-04-12  Sven Joachim  <svenjoac@gmx.de>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm: Add missing import of
+	subprocerr.
+
+2008-04-12  Russell Coker  <russell@coker.com.au>,
+            Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* src/archives.c (tarobject): Set scontext to NULL after freecon.
+
+2008-04-10  Sven Joachim  <svenjoac@gmx.de>
+
+	* src/trigcmd.c: Fix typo.

+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.14.19~.
+
+2008-04-08  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* configure.ac: Release 1.14.18.
+
+2008-04-08  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* doc/triggers.txt: Fix wrong dpkg trigger related option names.
+
+2008-04-08  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* doc/triggers.txt: Move parts of the document into proper man pages.
+	Add references to those.
+
+2008-04-08  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* man/dpkg.1: Document new trigger statuses, and new --triggers-only,
+	--no-triggers and --triggers options.
+	* man/deb-triggers.5: New file.

+
+2008-04-05  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V1_0.pm: Do not use
+	diff -p to generate patches as dpkg-source of sarge doesn't accept
+	data after the @@.
+
+2008-04-04  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Shlibs/SymbolFile.pm (get_smallest_version): New
+	function to retrieve the smallest "minver" of all symbols of a
+	given library.
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Do not initialize dependencies of
+	libraries with symbols files as unversioned, instead use the
+	smallest minimal version returned by the function above. This
+	is required because the library might not have always been
+	available in the package and the unversioned dependency thus
+	doesn't ensure his presence.
+
+	* scripts/t/800_Dpkg_IPC.t: Remove temporary files used by the
+	tests.
+
+2008-04-03  Peter Karlsson  <peterk@debian.org>
+
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Corrected English.
+
+2008-04-02  Sven Joachim  <svenjoac@gmx.de>
+
+	* lib/triglib.c (trk_unknown_interest_change): Fix typo.
+	* dselect/helpmsgs.cc (hlp_displayexplain1): Ditto.
+
+2008-04-02  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm, scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl:
+	Explicitly put Checksums-* fields before the Files field so that
+	the Files field is last. This is a work-around for some braindead
+	dsc parsers (dupload and sbuild for instance, see #473518 and
+	#470440).
+
+2008-04-01  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2_0.pm: Add the option
+	--skip-patches to not apply patches at the end of the source
+	package extraction. Also works for Format: 3.0 (quilt).
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Document the above change.
+
+2008-04-01  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2_0.pm (do_extract): Create
+	debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied containing the list of patches
+	applied during extraction.
+	(prepare_build): apply patches before trying to build a source package
+	when it's clear that they have not been applied because
+	debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied doesn't exist.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/quilt.pm: Likewise. If a .pc
+	directory is present, then use "quilt unapplied" to check if all
+	patches have been applied.
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Document the above changes.
+
+2008-04-01  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/IPC.pm (fork_and_exec): Handle redirection
+	of STDERR with new options error_to_{file,pipe,string,handle}.

+
+	* src/enquiry.c (badstatinfos): Fix typos for processing.
+
+2008-03-30  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Make it clear that Format: 2.0 is not really
+	meant to be widely used by moving all the explanations in the
+	section describing the format "3.0 (quilt)".
+
+2008-03-30  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.14.18~.
+
+2008-03-30  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* configure.ac: Release 1.14.17.
+
+2008-03-30  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* dselect/main.cc: Use <ncursesw/term.h> instead of <term.h>.

+
+	* Merge branch 'sourcev3'. It contains an extensive refactoring of
+	dpkg-source around many new modules in scripts/Dpkg/Source/.
+
+	General purpose changes:
+	* scripts/Dpkg/IPC.pm: New module offering fork_and_exec() to
+	conveniently execute any program in a child process. It hides
+	all the error checking and lets you easily redirect input and
+	output streams.
+	* scripts/t/800_Dpkg_IPC.t: Non-regression tests for the module
+	above.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Exit.pm: New module to register functions
+	that would be called if the process was interrupted by a signal.
+	Useful to cleanup temporary files if we're interrupted while doing
+	some heavy I/O operation (as dpkg-source can do).
+	* scripts/Dpkg/ErrorHandling.pm (info, errormsg): info() reports
+	informational notices on STDOUT and errormsg() displays an error
+	message on STDERR without dying. Use it only when you will die
+	later on but want to display all errors before doing so.
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Heavy rewrite/refactoring based on
+	all the modules listed below.
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Update the manual page to document all the
+	source package formats and the associated options.
+
+	Dpkg::Source::* infrastructural modules:
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Compressor.pm: Compress and uncompress a
+	stream of data.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/CompressedFile.pm: Base class used to
+	provide on-the-fly compression and decompression of any file.
+	Dpkg::Source::Archive and Dpkg::Source::Patch inherit from it.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Archive.pm: Create and manipulate tar files.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Patch.pm: Create and manipulate patch files.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Functions.pm: Misc helper functions.
+	erasedir() removes recursively a directory in a safe manner.
+	fixperms() make sure the permissions of all files in a tree
+	are sane.
+
+	Source package formats:
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm: Base class implementing the
+	functions common to all source package formats.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V1_0.pm: Implement the actual
+	"Format: 1.0" source package format.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2_0.pm: Implement the wig&pen
+	format as specified in http://www.dpkg.org/dpkg/NewSourceFormat.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/native.pm: Native source
+	packages (single tarball) that supports all compressions
+	methods. Compatible with "Format: 1.0" if gzip compression is
+	used.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/quilt.pm: Next generation
+	source package format based on wig&pen. It supports multiple
+	.orig.tar files and all compressions schemes (gzip, bzip2, lzma).
+	It uses quilt to apply patches at unpack time and is able to add
+	a new patch at the end of the series if changes are present
+	at build-time.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/bzr.pm: Experimental format
+	based on a bzr repository. Contributed by Colin Watson.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/git.pm: Experimental format
+	based on a git repository. Contributed by Joey Hess.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/custom.pm: Special purpose
+	format that can be used to create source packages with arbitrary
+	files. Useful for helper tools (like git-buildpackage) which can
+	generate source files by themselves.
+
+2008-03-25  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Let the user configure the set of
+	wanted warnings. Add a new warning for useless libraries
+	on all binaries analyzed. Disable by default the warning that
+	does the same but individually, for each binary analyzed.
+	* man/dpkg-shlibdeps.1: Update manual page accordingly.

+	generation of the Description field to not have duplicate description
+	in case of udeb (a single description per binary package is enough).
+	Source only uploads will loose their Description: fields since they
+	have no associated binary packages and Descriptions are only added

+	not part of the supplementary groups.
+
+2008-01-16  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/changelog/debian.pl: Restore the old default behaviour
+	to parse STDIN. Also fix the -l option to specify a label for the
+	parsed input, but the actual file. Still allow --file to be used for
+	that. Use the new inhandle option of parse() to pass STDIN directly.
+	This should be faster and removes the implicit dependency on
+	IO::String.
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Changelog/Debian.pm (parse): Accept input in
+	configuration item 'inhandle'. Allow overriding the name of the
+	file (used for reporting) with configuration item 'reportfile'.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Changelog.pm (init): Call parse if 'inhandle' is given.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-parsechangelog.pl: Remove one superfluous %s from a
+	formatstring which was used to output $! before syserr() was used
+	instead.

+2008-01-15  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl (filter_deps): Fix filtering of
+	duplicated dependencies in fields of lesser priority. Dependencies
+	coming from shlibs files have no associated version and this case
+	wasn't handled properly.
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: When the same binary is passed
+	several times as parameters (associated to different fields),
+	associate it to the most important field.
+
+2008-01-14  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl, scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl,
+	scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Hint Perl into using UTF-8 for output
+	on *.dsc, *.changes and DEBIAN/control files. Updated some open() calls
+	for more consistency and added binmode() calls for filehandles that
+	handle only binary data.
+
+2008-01-13  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Fields.pm: Drop public function
+	set_fields_importance() in favor of a method on

+	used.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Changelog.pm, scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl,
+	scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl, scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Updated to use
+	the set_field_importance() method instead of the removed function.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Control.pm: Update pod documentation to refer to
+	Dpkg::Fields::Object instead of the invalid Dpkg::Cdata::Object.
+
+2008-01-13  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Fields.pm (dump): Allow omitting the
+	filehandle argument. If the function is called in
+	non-void context, also remove the printed string
+	to the caller. Together this avoids having to fiddle
+	with filehandles if the caller doesn't want to.
+	(output): Likewise.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Changelog.pm (data2rfc822): Simplify
+	using this new behaviour.
+
+	* scripts/t/600_Dpkg_Changelog.t: Add a new changelog
+	'fields' that tests the handling of the different fields
+	in the dpkg format.
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Changelog.pm: Replace all field hashes
+	with Dpkg::Changelog::Entry objects.
+	(Dpkg::Changelog::Entry): Base on Dpkg::Fields::Object.
+	(data2rfc822): Use Dpkg::Fields::Object->output and fix
+	handling of user-defined fields.
+	(data2rfc822_mult): Merge into data2rfc822 (autodetect
+	whether the argument is an object or an array of object).
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Changelog/Debian.pm: Adapt for
+	Dpkg::Changelog::Entry changes.
+	* scripts/t/600_Dpkg_Changelog.t: Likewise.

+
+2008-01-12  Raphael hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Fields.pm, scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Add support of

+
+2008-01-12  Raphael hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Fields.pm: Define variables containing
+	authoritative list of fields for debian/control (one for source
+	stanza, one for package stanza).
+	* scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl, scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl,
+	scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Use the new variables to properly ignore
+	valid fields. Some related cleanup.
+
+2008-01-11  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Also force version in ${binary:Version}
+	if dpkg-gencontrol -v<version> is used. That way we're consistent
+	with the definition of that variable in deb-substvars(5).
+
+2008-01-10  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Explain better the first parameter of the '-b'
+	option.
+
+2008-01-10  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* debian/control: Add a "Breaks: dpkg-dev (= 1.14.13),
+	dpkg-dev (= 1.14.14)" on dpkg to force upgrade of those dpkg-dev
+	versions that would break with the move of the compression related
+	variables from Dpkg.pm into Dpkg/Compression.pm.
+
+2008-01-08  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Version.pm: Import missing error function from
+	Dpkg::ErrorHandling.
+
+	* scripts/po/POTFILES.in: Add many modules containing translatable
+	strings.
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Changelog.pm (parse_changelog): New function to

+	scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl, scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl,
+	scripts/dpkg-gensymbols.pl, scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Update scripts to
+	use Dpkg::Changelog::parse_changelog instead of the old controllib.pl's
+	parsechangelog. With this last change controllib.pl is no more used by
+	any script.
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl: Removed as it's no more used by any
+	script.
+
+	* debian/dpkg-dev.install: Add missing modules.
+
+2008-01-08  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+

+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/ErrorHandling.pm (report): export.

+	scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl, scripts/dpkg-gensymbols.pl,
+	scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl, scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Update scripts
+	to use the new modules Dpkg::Cdata, Dpkg::Control,
+	Dpkg::Fields::Object and Dpkg::Substvars.
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Version.pm (check_version): New function replacing
+	checkversion of controllib.pl.
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl, scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: Use the
+	new check_version.
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Vars.pm (set_source_package): New function to set
+	and check the global variable $sourcepackage (replacing
+	controllib's setsourcepackage).
+	* scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl, scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl,
+	scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Use the new set_source_package.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-distaddfile.pl, scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Delete
+	the chown(getfowner(), ...) on new files. It doesn't seem to do
+	anything useful anymore as it got dropped from several other
+	scripts over the years without problems.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Integrate readmd5sum from controllib here
+	as it's the only user of that function.
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl: Get rid of everything except
+	parsechangelog and its dependencies (parsecdata, syntax) that are
+	still needed.
+
+	* scripts/Makefile.am: Include all the new files in the
+	distributed tarball.
+
+2008-01-08  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/ErrorHandling.pm (syntaxerr): New function to
+	replace the syntax() function in controllib.pl.
+
+2008-01-07  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.14.16~.
+
+2008-01-07  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

+
+2008-01-07  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

+	changes semantics from GNU C to C99.
+	* lib/varbuf.c (varbufaddc): Likewise.
+
+2008-01-07  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* dpkg-deb/extract.c (extracthalf): Move negative member length check
+	to ...
+	(parseheaderlength): ... here. Change return type to size_t. Change
+	variable r to ssize_t. Use strtol instead of strtoul to easily catch
+	negative values.
+	* dpkg-deb/info.c (info_spew): Use %zu in a format string instead of
+	%lu to print pathlen, a size_t variable.
+	* dpkg-split/queue.c (do_auto): Change j from unsigned int to int.
+	Cast j to unsigned int when comparing it to i.
+	* lib/varbuf.c (varbufprintf): Change ou from unsigned int to size_t.
+	Change r from unsigned int to int. Cast value compared to r to int.
+	(varbufprintf): Likewise.
+	* src/archives.c (tarobject): Change r from size_t to ssize_t.
+	Cast r to size_t when comparing it to symlinkfn.size.

+	int.
+	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c (parse_schedule): Change str_len from
+	ptrdiff_t to size_t. Cast string difference to size_t instead of
+	ptrdiff_t. Remove ptrdiff_t cast to sizeof.
+
+2008-01-07  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/BuildOptions.pm (set): Parse all options separated

+	on name substrings, and on recognized options with invalid values
+	discard the value or the entire option.

+	and its dependencies.
+
+2008-01-06  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Shlibs/Objdump.pm: Also retrieve dynamic relocation
+	records from objdump by adding the -R option. Use this information
+	to mark symbols affected by R_*_COPY relocations as undefined.
+	They are initialized by the loader with values searched in the
+	needed libraries.
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/BuildOptions.pm (set): Change the default value of
+	the overwrite parameter to 1. The only use of this function in
+	dpkg-buildpackage is missing the parameter and actually wants to
+	overwrite the whole variable.
+	* scripts/t/300_Dpkg_BuildOptions.t: Adjust the test suite for this
+	change.
+
+2008-01-04  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Shlibs/SymbolFile.pm: Replace #DEPRECATED by

+	understand better that way.
+
+2008-01-03  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl (find_symbols_file): When libraries
+	are found in non-packaged files, first try to find the
+	corresponding symbols file in the build tree containing that
+	library. On the opposite, don't look up symbols files in debian/*
+	build directories for libraries found in installed packages (build
+	trees are scanned first and thus if they contain a needed library
+	dpkg-shlibdeps will find the library there and not in an installed
+	package).
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl (my_find_library): When defining the
+	list of package build trees to scan, also consider those that
+	contain symbols files (instead of only considering those that have
+	a shlibs file).
+	* man/dpkg-shlibdeps.1: Document the change listed above.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Add a new -S<pkgbuilddir> option to
+	indicate a package build tree that should be scanned first when
+	trying to find a library.
+	* man/dpkg-shlibdeps.1: Document the new -S option.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl (add_shlibs_dep): Use the same logic
+	as find_symbols_files to find shlibs files. Check
+	debian/*/DEBIAN/shlibs only when the library has not been found in
+	an installed package, and give precedence to the shlibs provided
+	by the binary package where the library has been found. Replaces
+	the previous work-around that gave precedence to the package
+	that contained the binary.
+	* man/dpkg-shlibdeps.1: Document the above change in the shlibs
+	search order.
+
+2008-01-03  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: Do not automatically enable '-j'

+
+2008-01-01  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+

+
+2007-12-08  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Doesn't warn any more about libm.so.6
+	being unused if the binary is also linked against libstdc++ since
+	g++ always add an implicit -lm.
+
+2007-12-08  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Shlibs.pm (find_library): When it finds a library

+
+2007-11-29  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

+
+	* scripts/dpkg-gensymbols.pl: The environment variable

+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Harmonize a failure message.

+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Do not fail if it

+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl (find_packages): Make sure to always

+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Always try the realpath($lib) as
+	fallback to identify the package (even if it's not a symlink)
+	because due to broken RPATH we might get library filenames such as
+	"/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/../../../../lib/libssl.so.9.8"
+	which is not a symlink and which can still be simplified to

+2007-11-25  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Shlibs.pm (find_library): Canonicalize paths before

+
+2007-11-23  Raphaël Hertzog  <hertzog@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Look for libs in the package's build
+	tree even if that package doesn't contain an shlibs file. Then
+	don't complain about missing dependency information if the lib is in
+	the same package than the binary. Also ignore it if the library is
+	not versioned and can't have an shlibs file.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Path.pm (guess_pkg_root_dir)

+	* scripts/Dpkg/Shlibs.pm: Always add paths from LD_LIBRARY_PATH

+	the >= cases (it was improperly handled like >> due to a bad regexp).

+
+2007-10-08  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+

+2007-10-08  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>,
+            Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl (debarch_is): Check if $alias is equal to

+	(debarch_to_debtriplet): Do not special case 'any' nor 'all'.
+	(debarch_eq): Check if $a and $b are equal before mapping them to

+
+2007-10-07  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: Warn if run as root and $rootcommand
+	has been specified. Error if run as non-root and $rootcommand is not
+	found.
+
+2007-10-07  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl (usage): Remove details about running
+	fakeroot only if it's available.
+	* man/dpkg-buildpackage.1: Document that fakeroot is now the default

+
+2007-10-07  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+	    Marcel Toele  <mtoele@kern.nl>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl (handleformat): Include
+	a trailing HT character in the diff labels if
+	the filename contains spaces. Apparently this is
+	standard but undocumented diff behaviour.
+
+2007-09-30  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* man/deb-control.5: Remove obsolete sentence regarding the role of
+	the Priority and Section field. They have nothing to do with the
+	archive layout since woody.
+
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Remove superfluous [options] from -b command
+	description.
+
+2007-09-29  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: Call checkversion()
+	on version extracted from changelog. Since other
+	program we call later will do the same there is
+	really no reason not to fail early.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl (testcommand):
+	Make the check more sensible. Instead of testing
+	/usr/bin/$cmd, test `which $cmd`.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl (signfile): Call
+	gpg with --utf8-strings since otherwise the key
+	lookup fails with non-ASCII UTF8-encoded names.
+	Since Debian changelogs should be UTF8 encoded,
+	this is probably the more sane default. This
+	will probably break if one uses a non-UTF8 locale
+	and tries to give a uid on the commandline that
+	contains non-ASCII chars. I think we can live with
+	that.
+
+2007-09-28  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl (withecho): Remove
+	empty strings at the begin of the command array.
+	These can be caused by e.g. an empty $rootcommand.
+	It is easiest to filter them out here.
+
+2007-09-24  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl (signfile): Do not use absolute path

+2007-09-24  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Rework documentation of -i and -I options to

+2007-09-24  Jari Aalto  <jari.aalto@cante.net>
+            Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Allow use of -I
+	without filename pattern and load a list
+	of default patterns which is in effect as
+	similar as possible to the default regexp
+	of -i.
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Document new behaviour of -I option.
+
+2007-09-23  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: Add new option
+	-j[<number>] that works like the make option of
+	the same name. It will be passed to debian/rules in
+	the MAKEFLAGS environment variable. Also the
+	parallel=<n> DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS option will be honored
+	and set correctly. The finally used value is determined by the
+	following order: -j > DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS > MAKEFLAGS.
+	Based on an idea by Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com>.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/BuildOptions.pm: Added. Support code
+	for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS handling by dpkg-buildpackage.
+	* scripts/Makefile.am: Adapt.
+	* man/dpkg-buildpackage.1: Document the new -j option.
+
+2007-09-23  Jari Aalto  <jari.aalto@cante.net>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl ($diff_ignore_default_regexp): Add
+	_MTN for monotone.
+
+2007-09-20  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-sources.pl (version): Don't use
+	printf if we don't need it, use print instead.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh (usage): Fix typo for dpkg-genchanges.
+
+	* scripts/Dpkg.pm: Make the regex for determining
+	$progname more robust.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Move to...
+	* scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: Convert from
+	Shell to Perl.
+	* scripts/Makefile.am: Adapt to move.
+	* scripts/po/POTFILES.in: Add dpkg-buildpackage.pl.
+
+2007-09-18  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

+	and move its contents to the outer one.
+
+2007-09-14  Brian M. Carlson  <sandals@crustytoothpaste.ath.cx>
+
+	* src/remove.c (deferred_remove): Store the previous package status

+	* src/cleanup.c (cu_prermremove): Restore previous stored status if
+	the '<postinst> abort-remove' call succeeds.
+
+2007-09-08  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

+
+2007-09-08  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>

+	giving it as an argument to printf, instead of printing 'VERSION'.
+
+2006-01-29  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.14~.
+
+2006-01-28  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.13.
+
+2006-01-28  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Do not print the warning about a
+	mismatch between gcc target machine type and GNU target system
+	type if the actions are '-e' or '-i'.
+
+2006-01-27  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Honor LD_LIBRARY_PATH when
+	searching for shared libraries.
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Don't recurse into package
+	directories when searching for local shlibs files.
+
+2006-01-26  Zefram  <zefram@fysh.org>,
+	    Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* man/C/dpkg-query.1: Document the correct format string for
+	the '--showformat' option. Update '-l' example. Lower case program
+	name in title header.
+
+2006-01-26  Christoph Maser  <cm@financial.com>
+
+	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c (do_help): Fix typo ('-C' -> '-d').
+
+2006-01-26  A Costa  <agcosta@gis.net>
+
+	* man/C/dselect.1: Fix typos.
+
+2006-01-26  Bastian Kleineidam  <calvin@debian.org>
+
+	* man/C/dpkg.1: Document the --no-debsig option.
+
+2006-01-26  Marc Haber  <mh+debian-packages@zugschlus.de>
+
+	* man/C/dpkg-statoverride.8: Fix typo.
+
+2006-01-24  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* debian/control (Section): dpkg and dselect are now in section
+	admin, not section base. Correct info in the control file.
+	(Standards-Version): Bump Standards-Version to 3.6.2 (no changes).
+
+	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Fix typo.
+
+2006-01-23  Vasilis Vasaitis  <v.vasaitis@sms.ed.ac.uk>
+
+	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c (pid_is_exec) [OSLinux]: Change function
+	prototype to take a constant string instead of a struct stat. Compare
+	the filename pointed by the '/proc/<pid>/exe' symlink, instead of the
+	stat device and inode numbers. Fix all callers.
+
+2006-01-23  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Rewrite of the script
+	to not use the path information from ldd anymore (which
+	is unreliable in the case of symlinked directories and
+	not necessarily available for biarch builds). Instead
+	build an own representation of the search patch.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Don't use \b to match the end
+	of the version in filenames, use (?=[.-]) and (?=\.) instead.
+	\b doesn't work in case the version ends with ~.
+
+	* AUTHORS: Updated for new maintenance team
+	* debian/copyright: Add myself as copyright holder since
+	I also added a note to that effect with my dpkg-shlibdeps
+	patch.
+
+2006-01-23  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	Support for architecture wildcards.
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl: Rename to ...
+	* scripts/controllib.pl.in: ... this.
+	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Add new actions '-e'  and '-i' that
+	call debian_arch_eq and debian_arch_is, to check for architecture
+	equality and identity respectively. Use debian_arch_fix instead of
+	the duplicated code.
+	(pkgdatadir, read_cputable, read_ostable): Move to ...
+	* scripts/controllib.pl.in: ... here.
+	(debian_arch_fix): New function. Fix normalized kernel-cpu input to
+	legacy Debian architecture output.
+	(debian_arch_split): New function. Normalize and split input into
+	kernel and cpu components.
+	(debian_arch_eq): New function. Compare two tuples for equality after
+	having normalized them with debian_arch_split.
+	(debian_arch_is): New function. Check two tuples for identity after
+	having normalized them with debian_arch_split.
+	(debian_arch_expand): New function. Expand the normalized input
+	into all possible legacy Debian architectures matching the wildcard.
+	(parsedep): Use debian_arch_is to check if the host architecture is
+	part of the architecture listed in the dependency relationship.
+	(showdep): Use debian_arch_expand to normalize the architectures for
+	binary and source packages, so generated packages will be backward
+	compatible in regard to architecture format.
+	* scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: Use new dpkg_arch_is and dpkg_arch_eq
+	instead of the hardcoded checks.
+	* scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Likewise.
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Likewise. Use dpkg_arch_expand to fill
+	the Architecture field with the legacy Debian architectures.
+	* scripts/Makefile.am: New rule to generate .pl from .pl.in files.
+	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Update. Add new options, and few words
+	about the format of the wildcards.
+
+2006-01-23  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Add a missing '+' in the architecture
+	validator regex.
+
+2006-01-23  Bart Martens  <bart.martens@advalvas.be>,
+	    Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Add libsepol1-dev as a temporary
+	workaround until libselinux1-dev has pkg-config support.
+	* m4/libs.m4 (DPKG_LIB_SELINUX): Explicitly statically link against
+	libsepol.
+
+2006-01-20  Aurelien Jarno  <aurel32@debian.org>
+
+	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Do not depend on libselinux1-dev
+	in GNU/kFreeBSD.
+
+2006-01-20  Lennert Buytenhek  <buytenh+debian@wantstofly.org>
+
+	* cputable: Add armeb.
+
+2006-01-18  Joey Hess  <joeyh@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: Add possibility to specify a package
+	type in the shlibs file and add a -t switch to dpkg-shlibdeps to
+	specify the wanted type. Entries without package type will have
+	type 'deb' and will serve as fallback if no entry with the correct
+	type is found.
+	* man/C/dpkg-source.1: Document new -t switch for dpkg-shlibdeps.
+
+2005-10-11  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* man/C/*.[158]: Update references to dpkg and dselect
+	man pages with correct section (8->1).
+	* man/C/dselect.1: Update reference to debconf
+	man page with correct section (8->1).
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Warn on -b if we add a file with
+	special (i.e. executable or set{u,g}id) permission in the
+	diff since this mode will get lost.
+
+2005-10-07  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl (checkversion): Add generic check for valid
+	version numbers.
+	(checkpackagename): Add generic check for valid package names.
+	(readmd5sum): Add generic function to extract md5sum from md5sum
+	program output. This also fixes the handling of md5sum -b output in
+	dpkg-source.
+	(setsourcepackage): Call checkpackagename on new value.
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Use the new checks added to
+	controllib to ensure validity of version and packagename
+	on build, too. Previously this was only done on
+	unpack.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Test on build if directories
+	added by diff already exist with other type in the original
+	source since we already tested that on unpack.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl (addfile): Test if files are added
+	twice. Should not happen but as we error out on unpack
+	better make sure it doesn't.
+
+2005-10-04  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Check build relation
+	fields for correctness before putting them into
+	the .dsc when building. This also normalizes the
+	fields.
+
+2005-10-03  Matt Zimmerman  <mdz@debian.org>,
+	    Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: If gpg is installed, check
+	the signature of the .dsc file before unpacking.
+	Allow the unpacking to succeed if the .dsc is unsigned
+	but error out if the signature is bad. If gpg exits
+	with a code >2 (e.g. missing key), show the user the gpg
+	output but continue.
+
+2005-10-03  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Try to chown files extracted from
+	a tar file to the uid and gid of the user. This should make
+	dpkg-source -x safer to use as root. Also create the temporary
+	directory mode 0700 to not allow anyone exploiting races
+	between the extraction and the chown.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Warn about illegal architecture
+	strings. This will warn e.g. about comma-separated architecture
+	lists.
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Also check architecture strings and
+	error out if we find illegal ones.
+
+2005-08-27  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Bail out with an error if parsedep
+	found an error while parsing a dependency field.
+
+2005-08-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.12~.
+
+	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.11.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Re-work the logic that handles the Files
+	field when unpacking source packages; always remove the revision
+	component and thereby allow -$rev.orig.tar.gz as well as native
+	diff.gz or debian.tar.gz; improve the "unrecognised file" error to
+	give the full filename, not the mangled suffix; check whether the
+	revision has length, rather than is non-zero ("0" is false in Perl).
+
+2005-08-17  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl (parsedep): Correct a bug that caused wrong
+	architecture requirements in some cases, due to only "my"ing the
+	@arches list in some circumstances.
+
+2005-08-17  Colin Watson  <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>
+
+	* src/processarc.c (process_archive): When copying the forward
+	dependency tree, blank the version field of unversioned dependencies
+	rather than leaving them uninitialized.
+
+2005-08-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Fix a few problems found with the
+	$diff_ignore_default_regexp value; it'd match any path with
+	DEADJOE in it somewhere (or .cvsignore, etc.), wouldn't match
+	an initial CVS or {arch}, etc.
+	Took the opportunity to reformat the string and add some comments,
+	which get stripped out before it's used.
+	Added tla/baz junk ",,.*" to the list of filters.
+
+	* lib/dbmodify.c (log_message): Call setcloexec() on the log
+	file descriptor, otherwise we leak it to our children.
+
+2005-08-17  Ludovic Rousseau  <rousseau@debian.org>
+
+	* src/filesdb.c: Replace all references to "statusoverride" file
+	with "statoverride".
+
+2005-08-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* src/query.c (enqperpackage): Only output a newline between
+	different packages and not after the last one.
+
+	* man/C/dpkg-deb.1: Document -W/--show and --showformat.
+
+2005-08-14  Bastian Kleineidam  <calvin@debian.org>
+
+	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Fix typo.
+
+2005-08-14  Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: Give a warning when one tries
+	to use -sd on a native Debian package.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle absolute paths in the argument
+	given for -b.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Give more meaningful error message
+	if first argument to dpkg-source -x is a directory
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl (parsecdata): Ignore trailing newlines
+	in single paragraph control files.
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl (parsedep): Give a warning explaining
+	the problem when failing to parse the dependency.
+	* scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Pass the dependency field name
+	to all calls to &build_depends() and &build_conflicts(), which
+	both call &check_line().
+	(check_line): Take an argument specifying the field name, and
+	use it to output an error if the dependency list is not
+	defined (caused by a failure of &parsedep()).
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl: Remove the %capit map, it's no longer
+	used and everything uses the &capit() function instead.
+	(capit): Uppercase all letters that come after a minus ('-'),
+
+2005-08-14  Moritz Muehlenhoff  <jmm@inutil.org>,
+	    Frank Lichtenheld  <djpig@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl (parsedep): Allow whitespace before
+	version operators in dependencies.
+
+2005-08-14  Goswin Brederlow  <brederlo@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-name.sh (stderr): Use shell redirect rather than
+	/dev/stderr.
+
+2005-08-14  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* debian/control ([dselect]Description): Remove "a" from the start
+	of the description synopsis line.
+	([dpkg]Description): De-capitalise description synopsis line.
+	([dpkg-dev]Description): Likewise.
+
+2005-08-14  Guillem Jover  <guillem@debian.org>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl (usageversion): Correct punctuation
+	in copyright message and escape the @ so Perl doesn't treat it as
+	an array reference.  Same for initial comment.
+
+2005-07-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* src/remove.c (removal_bulk_remove_files): Call lstat() rather
+	than stat() when removing a character, block or setuid file so
+	we change the thing itself and not what the symlink points to.
+	* src/processarc.c (process_archive): Likewise.
+
+	* src/processarc.c (process_archive): Call ohshit() after finding
+	out we don't have an errno, not ohshite().
+
+	* src/cleanup.c (cu_preinstverynew): Blank the status information
+	of a newly installed package that we aborted the install of,
+	to avoid having packages in a not-installed state but with a version.
+
+2005-07-16  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* src/filesdb.h (filenamenode.flags): Add fnnf_placed_on_disk flag
+	to indicate that the file is now on the disk, and thus needs to be
+	removed in cleanup if that happens.
+	* src/cleanup.c (cu_installnew): If <foo>.dpkg-tmp did not exist,
+	and the fnnf_placed_on_disk flag is set, we now remove the newly
+	created file.
+	* src/archives.c (tarobject): Set the fnnf_placed_on_disk flag once
+	the rename to the final destination succeeds.  Add additional
+	comments to the source so we know what's on the disk at each point.
+	Fix up the #ifdef syntax to not confuse emacs.
+
+	* src/archives.c (filesavespackage): Check whether the file we're
+	going to install is going to be diverted, before whether it's in the
+	new archive.
+
+	* src/processarc.c (process_archive): When removing files that
+	were in the old version of the package only, don't just call
+	isdirectoryinuse(), actually check whether it's a directory first;
+	otherwise we won't remove diverted things.
+
+2005-07-15  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* lib/ehandle.c (run_cleanups): Modify the value of flagset
+	according to the checkpoint mask and value after processing,
+	otherwise we'll run handlers we didn't mean to.
+	(pop_cleanup): Remove the flagset setting, we don't mix
+	checkpoints and calls anywhere.
+
+2005-06-28  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.11~.
+
+	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.10.
+
+	* debian/dpkg.preinst (create_logfile): Remove from preinst.
+	* debian/dpkg.postinst (create_logfile): To postinst; I can't think
+	of any particular reason it needs to happen before configuration.
+	In addition, use numeric ids for the chown call to avoid requirement
+	that base-passwd be configured first.
+
+2005-06-28  Manoj Srivastava  <srivasta@debian.org>
+
+	* src/archives.c: Look at the security context of the final
+	destination, not the temporary file.
+
+2005-06-24  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* po/POTFILES.in: Remove lib/star.c.
+
+2005-06-24  Manoj Srivastava  <srivasta@debian.org>
+
+	* src/archives.c: Restore selinux code incorrectly placed in
+	lib/star.c, modified to fit in with tarobject.
+
+2005-06-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* debian/dpkg.preinst (confirm_dselect_split): When set -e,
+	following a command with "|| return" doesn't eat the exit status.
+
+	* lib/dbmodify.c (log_message): Set the log to be line-buffered.
+
+2005-06-16  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* lib/star.c: Remove, it's unused code and causes confusion.
+	* lib/Makefile.am (libdpkg_a_SOURCES): Don't compile star.c.
+
+2005-06-15  Bastian Kleineidam  <calvin@debian.org>
+
+	* man/C/dpkg.cfg.5: Correct reference to dpkg(8) to dpkg(1).
+
+2005-06-14  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* man/C/dpkg-architecture.1: Add missing "recent" from paragraph
+	on backward compatibility.
+
+2005-06-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* debian/rules: Check DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS and only add the option
+	to enable SELinux if we're on Linux.
+	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Don't build-depend on
+	libselinux1-dev on hurd-i386.  The complete list is too long to
+	maintain, so wait until we can put "[linux-any]" in here.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle native tarballs with a
+	Debian revision.
+
+	* lib/dbmodify.c (log_message): Use the local time, not UTC;
+	this is more consistent with syslog.
+
+2005-06-13  Johannes Veser  <veser@gmx.de>
+
+	* debian/dpkg.prerm (undivert_md5sum): dpkg-divert takes the
+	diverted filename, not the destination.
+
+2005-06-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* debian/dpkg.install: Remove start-stop-daemon rule, as that
+	copies it rather than moves it.
+	* debian/rules (binary-arch): Move start-stop-daemon into sbin
+	my hand.
+
+2005-06-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.10~.
+
+	* configure.ac: Release 1.13.9.
+
+2005-06-11  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Add .arch-inventory to default diff
+	ignore regexp.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: If two arguments are given to dpkg-source,
+	use the second to set $newdirectory rather than creating it ourselves.
+	It's an error to specify an output directory that exists.
+	(usageversion): Document optional second argument to dpkg-source -x.
+
+	* man/C/dpkg-source.1: Document optional second argument.
+
+2005-06-11  Matt Kraai  <kraai@alumni.cmu.edu>,
+	    Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Move the .orig directory out of the way
+	during the duration of the script, moving it back again afterwards.
+
+2005-06-11  Brendan O'Dea  <bod@debian.org>
+
+	Support unpacking of "Wig And Pen" (Format: 2.0) source packages.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: When unpacking a source package with a
+	2.x format, allow multiple orig tarballs and allow the diff to be
+	replaced by a debian.tar.  Additional orig tarballs are named
+	"*.orig-xxx.tar" where the "xxx" is the name of the sub-directory
+	of the source where they should be unpacked.  The debian.tar is
+	unpacked as the debian sub-directory of the source and may contain
+	binaries (which the diff can't) and patches (in a patches
+	sub-directory) which are automatically applied during unpacking.
+	(checkdiff): Move diff checking code into sub-routine as we call
+	it multiple times now.  Allow uncompressed patches, cruft
+	at the start of a patcha and be less strict about patched directory
+	name (including allowing /dev/null).  Skip "Index:" header generated
+	by CVS.
+	(forkgzipread): Run either gunzip or bunzip2 depending on the
+	filename, allowing us to support .tar.bz2, and .diff.bz2.
+	(handleformat): Compare a range of major versions, as we now
+	support both 1.0 and 2.0 formats.
+	(def_dscformat): Generate 1.0 format packages by default.
+	(setfile): Removed unused function.
+	* debian/control ([dpkg-dev]Recommends): Recommend bzip2, it's
+	not an absolute dependency until bz2 packages are supported by
+	katie and policy.
+
+2005-06-11  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* m4/libs.m4 (DPKG_LIB_ZLIB, DPKG_LIB_BZ2): Rewrite to match the
+	way --with-selinux works.  Actually check whether the library and
+	header files we need are available, using the configure option to
+	determine whether the tests should be skipped (=no) or cause a
+	hard failure if not present (=yes or =static).
+	* lib/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Remove ZLIB_CFLAGS and BZ2_CFLAGS as
+	we don't set these to anything in configure anymore (WITH_ZLIB and
+	WITH_BZ2 are set in config.h) and users would set CFLAGS itself to
+	supply missing -I arguments.
+	* dpkg-deb/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Remove ZLIB_CFLAGS and BZ2_CLFAGS.
+	* src/Makefile.am (dpkg_query_LDADD): Remove ZLIB_LIBS and CFLAGS_LIBS
+	as dpkg-query doesn't use them.
+
+	* m4/libs.m4 (DPKG_LIB_SELINUX): Add new test for the selinux
+	library and header.  This works a little differently from the
+	current --with-{zlib,bz2} tests in that if no option is given it
+	still tries to enable it if possible.  If "yes" or "static" is given,
+	that forces the requirement (configure fails if not present), if "no"
+	is given the tests are skipped.
+	* configure.ac: Include selinux test.
+
+2005-06-11  Manoj Srivastava  <srivasta@debian.org>
+
+	* lib/star.c (ExtractFile, SetModes): If dpkg is compiled with
+	SELinux, test once whether SELinux is enabled on the system.  If it
+	is enabled, find out the security context of the file from its path
+	and either set what we think it should be or let the default security
+	context for the process be applied.
+	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Add libselinux1-dev as a build
+	dependency.
+	* debian/rules: Compile-in support for selinux and link statically.
+	* dpkg-deb/Makefile.am (dpkg_deb_LDADD): Link dpkg-deb with
+	SELINUX_LIBS.
+	* src/Makefile.am (dpkg_LDADD): Link dpkg with SELINUX_LIBS.
+
+2005-06-10  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* lib/dbmodify.c (log_message): New function that writes a
+	formatted string to the log file, opening it if it hasn't been
+	yet.  In case of error, we print it and don't try to open the
+	file again.
+	(modstatdb_note): Replace log writing code with call to new
+	log_message function.
+	* src/configure.c (promptconfaction): Replace log writing code
+	with call to log_message function.
+	* src/help.c (log_action): Simplify to just a log_message call.
+	* lib/dpkg-db.h: Remove extern definition of log_pipes, replace
+	with log_message function.
+	* src/main.c (cmdinfos): Change --log argument action to just
+	storing the string in the log_file variable.
+	(setfile): Remove function.
+	* lib/myopt.c (myfileopt): strdup the string option argument
+	before storing it, otherwise it just gets overwritten by the next
+	line.
+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version to 1.13.9~.
+

+	packages, sort that (rather than the complete list) and use that
+	when calling list1package.  This means we only expand to the

+	extra computation time.

+2005-03-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* debian/dpkg.preinst (confirm_dselect_split): Check that dselect

+	$target_cpu.
+	* archtable: Rewrite the top comment to be a little clearer and
+	correct the lie that the third column is 'dpkg --print-architecture'
+	when it is, in fact, 'dpkg --print-gnu-build-architecture'.  Correct
+	third columns of the non-Linux architecture to actually return a
+	GNU name.  Sort the file into i386/linux-first alphabetical order.
+
+2005-01-22  Robert Millan  <rmh@debian.org>

+	* dpkg-deb/main.c: Include dpkg-db.h to get nffreeall prototype.
+	* .arch-inventory: Ignore config.cache if the user uses it.
+
+	* scripts/controllib.pl: Add #!/usr/bin/perl to satisfy lintian.
+	* debian/control ([dpkg]Pre-Depends): Needs to pre-depend on shlibs
+	dependencies like libc6, accidentally dropped earlier.
+	([dpkg-dev]Recommends): Added gcc as first choice for c-compiler.
+	* debian/rules: Generate shlibdeps for all arch packages, not just
+	dselect (so we get them for dselect too).
+	* debian/.arch-inventory: Ignore dpkg.substvars.
+	* debian/dpkg.conffiles: Removed, debhelper does the right thing.
+	* debian/dpkg-dev.conffiles: Removed, debhelper does the right thing.
+	* debian/dselect.conffiles: Removed, debhelper does the right thing.
+	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Updated for debian directory changes.
+	(package): Add missing distdir dependency, also don't treat lintian
+	problems as errors, just report them.
+	* man/C/dpkg.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
+	* man/C/dpkg-query.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.

+	* man/es/dpkg-split.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
+	* man/es/dselect.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
+	* man/es/Makefile.am: Install dpkg.1, dpkg-split.1, dselect.1
+	* man/fr/dpkg.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
+	* man/fr/dpkg-query.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
+	* man/fr/dpkg-split.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
+	* man/fr/Makefile.am: Install dpkg.1, dpkg-query.1, dpkg-split.1

+	* man/ja/dpkg-query.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.

+	* man/pt_BR/dpkg.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
+	* man/pt_BR/dselect.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
+	* man/pt_BR/Makefile.am: Install dselect.1, dpkg.1
+	* man/ru/dpkg.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.
+	* man/ru/Makefile.am: Install dpkg.1
+	* man/sv/dpkg.8: Moved to section 1 where it belongs.

+	dselect.1
+	* debian/dpkg.install: Install dpkg.1, dpkg-query.1, dpkg-split.1
+	* debian/dselect.install: Install dselect.1
+
+	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute files in the debian directory
+	in the source tarball.
+	(package): Create source and binary packages using dpkg-buildpackage
+	and some magic to give us a directory containing only 'dist' files.
+	Check the resulting changes file with lintian if we have it.
+
+	* .arch-inventory: Apply l33t regex skills to ignore source tarballs,
+	packages and the dist directory.
+
+	* utils/Makefile.am (rootsbin_PROGRAMS): Install start-stop-daemon
+	into the ordinary sbindir by default.
+	* debian/dpkg.install: Install usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon into /sbin.
+
+	* debian/control (Build-Depends): The source tarball now includes
+	the generated gmo files, so there's no reason for the package to
+	build-depend on gettext.
+
+	* getopt/getdate.c: Remove unused file.
+
+	* methods/disk/update: Remove {...} glob, as it's a bashism.
+
+	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Fix dependency on virtual
+	package `libncurses-dev'.
+
+	* m4/funcs.m4 (DPKG_FUNC_VA_COPY): Wrap TRY_RUN and TRY_COMPILE
+	calls in AC_CACHE_CHECK, missed when I copied it over and updated.
+
+	* debian/dpkg.prerm: Give the script a bit of a spring clean,
+	add a comment block at the top to serve as documentation of how
+	prerm is called for anyone wanting a quick reference; this seems
+	a reasonable place to do it as any.  Don't remove the historic
+	info scripts anymore (dating back to 1.3.3) as we haven't shipped
+	them in ages and 1.3.3's upgrade script did it anyway.
+	* debian/dpkg.postrm: Equal spring clean and documentation comment
+	added to the top.  Removed code to purge dpkg.cfg now we include it
+	in the package as a conffile again anyway.
+	* debian/dpkg.preinst: Equal spring clean and documentation comment
+	added to the top.  Separated each discrete piece of upgrade behaviour
+	for the 0.93.50 jump into different functions.
+	* debian/dpkg.postinst: Equal spring clean and documentation comment
+	added to the top.  Separated each bit of behaviour into a separate
+	function.
+	(move_info_directory): No longer create symlinks to the new location.
+	(remove_info_symlink): Remove /usr/info or /usr/info/dir symlinks.
+
+2005-01-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Add forgotten build-depend on
+	debhelper, I picked 4.1.81 after reading the changelog as it has the
+	first feature we need (upstream and debian changelogs in a native
+	package).
+
+	* man/C/Makefile.am (dpkg_source_aliases): I missed a whole bunch
+	of manpages created as aliases to dpkg-source, put the rules in to
+	do that.
+	* man/C/.arch-inventory: Ignore generated aliased pages.
+
+	* debian/rules: Rewrite from scratch to use debhelper, this breaks
+	being able to bootstrap dpkg from its own source directory; but that
+	didn't really work anyway.  You can always just 'make install' first.
+	* debian/compat: Set debhelper compatibility to v4.
+	* debian/dpkg.docs: List documentation to ship with dpkg.
+	* debian/dpkg.install: List files that belong to dpkg.
+	* debian/dselect.install: List files that belong to dselect.
+	* debian/dpkg-dev.install: List files that belong to dpkg-dev.
+	* .arch-inventory: Ignore build-tree, created by debian/rules.
+	* debian/.arch-inventory: Ignore files and directories created by
+	debian/rules.
+
+	* lib/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Correct sharedstatedir to datadir,
+	common-licenses isn't in /usr/com (whatever that is).
+
+	* dpkg-split/Makefile.am (install-data-local): Use $(mkdir_p) instead
+	of $(MKINSTALLDIRS), better style.
+	* methods/Makefile.am (install-data-local): Use $(mkdir_p) instead of
+	$(MKINSTALLDIRS) here too.
+	* origins/Makefile.am (install-data-local): And here.
+	* scripts/Makefile.am (install-exec-local): Here as well.
+	(install-data-local): Likewise.
+	* src/Makefile.am (install-data-local): And finally, here too.
+
+	* scripts/Makefile.am: Automake doesn't create out-of-tree output
+	directories for us, so do so if it they don't exist (but quiet, like).
+	(do_perl_subst): Remove space in #! line.
+	* dpkg-split/Makefile.am: Create out-of-tree directories.
+	(do_perl_subst): Remove space in #! line.
+
+	* lib/dpkg.h: Include locale.h, for LC_ALL which is expanded in
+	a macro here.  This is needed if we build without optimisations
+	as libintl.h won't include it for us.
+
+2005-01-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* debian/pseudo-tags: Rewrite and clear up, put tags into a decent
+	order and add a new [DEPENDS] tag to track dependency handling
+	issues.
+
+	* debian/shlibs.default: Clean up.
+	* debian/shlibs.override: Clean up.
+
+	* debian/dselect.cfg: Clean up atrocious English spelling.
+	* debian/dpkg.cfg: Clean up atrocious English spelling; remove old
+	configuration values as this file would be useful to be installed
+	to describe its use.
+	* debian/dpkg.conffiles: Add dpkg.cfg.
+
+	* debian/copyright: Clean up, utf-8ify and add missing copyright
+	declarations.
+
+	* debian/control (Build-Depends): Remove SGML-related tools now	we no
+	longer have docs in that format; increase gettext build-dependency to
+	0.14.1; remove build-dependency on autotools-dev.
+	(Standards-Version): Bump to keep lintian happy, we're conformant.
+	([dpkg]Pre-Depends): Remove pre-dependency on dselect put in place
+	to ease transition between woody and sarge where dselect was split
+	into a separate binary package.
+	([dpkg]Suggests): It's about time we suggested apt.
+	([dpkg]Description): The dselect program is no longer included in the
+	dpkg package, so don't mention it in the description.
+	([dselect]Description): Rewrite as dselect is no longer the primary
+	interface for package management, and that users may prefer apt-based
+	interfaces.
+
+	* debian/control (dpkg-static): The dpkg (and dpkg-deb) binaries
+	have been linked statically to zlib for some time, and the
+	dpkg-static package hasn't actually been created either.  Remove
+	from the control file.
+
+	* debian/control (dpkg-doc): The documentation shipped in the
+	dpkg-doc package was rather incomplete and out-of-date, so was
+	removed from the distribution.  Remove package from control file.
+	* debian/dpkg-doc.doc-base: Remove dpkg-doc file.
+	* debian/dpkg-doc.postinst: Remove dpkg-doc maintainer script.
+	* debian/dpkg-doc.prerm: Remove dpkg-doc maintainer script.
+	* debian/README.compile: Removed this file as it's both out of
+	date, and entirely replaced by Build-Depends anyway for those
+	that care about such things.
+
+	* Makefile.am: Remove rules to install common documentation and
+	licence under /usr/share/doc/dpkg, leave that up to the package.
+	* lib/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Define COPYINGFILE to point to
+	/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2.
+
+2005-01-11  Colin Watson  <cjwatson@debian.org>
+
+	* dselect/basecmds.cc (baselist::displayhelp): Revert to former
+	Space/Enter/'Q' behaviour, so that Space leaves the help screen
+	and Enter and 'Q' do nothing. It's dangerous to encourage users
+	to press Enter or 'Q', since they commit changes in the package
+	selection screen.
+	* dselect/helpmsgs.cc (hlp_readonlyintro, hlp_recurintro): Update
+	help text to match.
+	(hlp_mainintro): 'Q' quits and overrides dependency problems;
+	'X' quits without saving changes.
+
+2005-01-10  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+	* configure.ac: Fix --without-dselect and --without-start-stop-daemon
+	so they actually work, Autoconf was preserving the old value of the
+	variable.  Always call AC_PROG_CXX otherwise things aren't happy
+	as it gets partially expanded.
+
+	* dpkg-split/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute mksplit.pl.
+	* dselect/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute mkcurkeys.pl.
+	* lib/Makefile.am (libdpkg_a_SOURCES): Distribute gettext.h.
+	* scripts/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the scripts and
+	README.alternatives, oops.
+	(all-local): Build install-info from install-info.pl manually.
+	(install-exec-local): Install install-info manually.
+	(uninstall-local): Remove install-info manually.
+	* scripts/.arch-inventory: Ignore install-info-stamp file we need.
+	* src/Makefile.am (dpkg_query_SOURCES): There is no errors.h.
+
+	* Makefile.conf.in: Remove file used by old build system.
+
+	* lib/mlib.c (buffer_write): Remove cast from lvalue, deprecated
+	in recent versions of gcc.
+	* m4/compiler.m4 (SJR_COMPILER_OPTIMISATIONS): Explicitly set -O0
+	when disabling compiler optimisations, as recent versions of gcc
+	have some on by default.
+
+	Now we're not using CVS at all, replace the old .cvsignore files
+	with .arch-inventory files Arch can use to ignore generated files.
+
+	* .cvsignore: Remove old file.
+	* .arch-inventory: Replace with more complete regex rules.

+	* utils/.arch-inventory: Replace with more complete regex rules.
+
+	* man/sv/.check.pl: Remove as it uses CVS to check whether the
+	translations are up to date, and we don't use that anymore.
+	* dselect/checkunimp.pl: Remove unused file.
+	* dselect/keys.c: Remove unused file.
+
+	For at least the second time in dpkg's history, convert the build
+	system to use GNU Automake.  I'm sure some future maintainer will
+	come along and get rid of it again, but for now, Automake is the
+	way forward.
+
+	* Makefile.in: Remove old file.
+	* Makefile.am: Replace with shiny Automake goodness, don't distribute
+	TODO anymore; it's only useful for developers.
+	* dpkg-deb/Makefile.in: Remove old file.

+	include rules to build dpkg-deb-static.

+	include rules to build md5sum-static.

+	* dpkg-deb/extract.c: Replace USE_ZLIB with WITH_ZLIB.
+	* dpkg-deb/main.c: Remove version.h include.
+	* dpkg-split/main.c: Remove version.h include.
+	* dselect/main.cc: Remove version.h include.
+	* lib/compression.c: Replace USE_ZLIB with WITH_ZLIB and USE_BZ2
+	with WITH_ZLIB.
+	* src/help.c: Remove version.h include and replace
+	USE_START_STOP_DAEMON with WITH_START_STOP_DAEMON.
+	* src/main.c: Remove version.h include.
+
+	We're going to move to using 'autoreconf' to generate the build
+	scripts after a checkout and 'make dist' to get a clean tarball.
+	Various files will get copied automatically so there's no point
+	having them under version control, they'll still appear in the
+	tarballs though.
+
+	* INSTALL: Remove from version control.
+	* config.guess: Remove from version control.
+	* config.sub: Remove from version control.
+	* install-sh: Remove from version control.
+	* autogen.sh: Remove unnecessary script, just run 'autoreconf'.
+	* release.sh: Remove unnecessary script, just run 'make dist'.
+
+	The old 'configure.in' arranged for a bunch of code to be added
+	to the bottom of 'config.h' with the assumption that it'd be
+	included everywhere.  That's not good style, the file is only
+	supposed to contain settings and not real code.  Put the code in
+	real header files and source.
+
+	* lib/dpkg.h: Include <sys/cdefs.h> and <stddef.h> if available.
+	(INTERPRETER_MAX): Define to PATH_MAX or 1024 if not available.

+	DPKG_VERSION, which no longer exists.
+	(ADMINDIR): Remove definition, define in Makefiles where needed.

+	for functions in 'compat.c' if the system lacks them.
+	(strtoul, va_copy, WCOREDUMP): Provide compatible macros for functions
+	the system lacks.
+	(BUILDOLDPKGFORMAT): Define here.
+	(_, N_): Include gettext.h and define friendlier macros.
+	* lib/gettext.h: Include from gettext distribution useful header
+	file that does the heavy lifting of enabling or disabling gettext.
+	* lib/md5.h: Add code to define UWORD32 used by this implementation.
+	* getopt/error.h (error, error_at_line): Remove printf format
+	attribute marker from prototypes to keep the code clean.
+	* getopt/getopt.c (store_args_and_env): Remove unused attribute
+	marker from function to keep the code clean.
+	* utils/md5sum.c: Let gettext.h (included through dpkg.h) do the
+	heavy lifting and define the right things for us.
+	* utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Duplicate includes of <sys/cdefs.h>
+	and <stddef.h> along with attribute marker definitions to avoid
+	having to include 'dpkg.h'.
+
+	* configure.in: Rename to 'configure.ac' and rewrite from the
+	ground-up with Autoconf 2.59 in mind.
+	* m4/arch.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
+	(DPKG_OS_TYPE): Code from old 'configure.in' to turn output from
+	'config.guess' into an operating system name we recognise.
+	(DPKG_ARCHITECTURE): Code from old 'configure.in' to look up
+	CPU and operating system name in the 'archtable'.
+	* m4/compiler.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
+	(SJR_COMPILER_WARNINGS): Add my standard macro to enable additional
+	compiler warnings and treat them as errors.
+	(SJR_COMPILER_OPTIMISATIONS): Add my standard macro to allow
+	disabling of optimisations.
+	(DPKG_C_ATTRIBUTE): Macro to check whether the C compiler supports
+	__attribute__, we assume that compilers that do ignore unknown
+	attributes like gcc does.
+	* m4/funcs.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
+	(DPKG_FUNC_VA_COPY): Code from old 'configure.in' to determine
+	whether the system supports va_copy or directly copying the values.
+	* m4/libs.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
+	(DPKG_LIB_ZLIB): Rework of old 'configure.in' code to allow the
+	user to decide whether to use zlib, and whether to link it statically.
+	(DPKG_LIB_BZ2): Rework of old 'configure.in' code to allow the user
+	to decide whether to use the bz2 library, and whether to link it
+	statically.
+	(DPKG_LIB_CURSES): Code from old 'configure.in' to pick the right
+	curses library on the system.
+	(DPKG_LIB_SSD): Code from old 'configure.in' to look for libraries
+	used by start-stop-daemon.
+	* m4/linker.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':

+	optimisations and allow them to be disabled.

+	(DPKG_PROG_PERL): Macro to locate the Perl interpreter in the PATH,
+	or allow the user to specify it with PERL=.
+	* m4/types.m4: New file of macros for 'configure.ac':
+	(DPKG_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T): Macro to replace obsolete AC_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T
+	macro from Autoconf.
+	(DPKG_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST): Macro to replace obsolete AC_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST
+	macro from Autoconf.
+	(DPKG_CHECK_DEFINE): Rework of old 'automake/dpkg.m4' code.
+	* version-nr: Remove, version should be changed in configure.ac
+	directly.
+	* automake: Remove older Autoconf macros.
+
+	* po/ChangeLog: Add new ChangeLog to describe changes affecting
+	translations and their infrastructure.
+
+	* origin: Move to 'origins/debian' so we can ship additional
+	origins in future.
+
+	Rearrange changelog parsers under 'scripts' into a separate
+	directory so they also don't need to be renamed on installation.
+
+	* scripts/cl-debian.pl: Move to 'scripts/changelog/debian.pl'.
+
+	Rearrange 'methods' directory into the same hierarchy used when
+	installed to save having to rename files on installation.
+
+	* methods/disk.desc.cdrom: Move to 'methods/disk/desc.cdrom'.
+	* methods/disk.desc.harddisk: Move to 'methods/disk/desc.harddisk'.
+	* methods/disk.desc.mounted: Move to 'methods/disk/desc.mounted'.
+	* methods/disk.desc.nfs: Move to 'methods/disk/desc.nfs'.
+	* methods/disk.install: Move to 'methods/disk/install' and chmod +x.
+	* methods/disk.names: Move to 'methods/disk/names'.
+	* methods/disk.setup: Move to 'methods/disk/setup' and chmod +x.
+	* methods/disk.update: Move to 'methods/disk/update' and chmod +x.
+	* methods/floppy.desc.floppy: Move to 'methods/floppy/desc.floppy'.
+	* methods/floppy.install: Move to 'methods/floppy/install' and
+	chmod +x.
+	* methods/floppy.names: Move to 'methods/floppy/names'.
+	* methods/floppy.setup: Move to 'methods/floppy/setup' and chmod +x.
+	* methods/floppy.update: Move to 'methods/floppy/update' and chmod +x.
+	* methods/hd.setup: Remove unused method script.
+	* methods/hd.unpack: Remove unused method script.
+	* methods/hd.update: Remove unused method script.
+
+	Consolidate the library code into one directory, so the headers are
+	alongside the code rather than somewhere else.
+
+	* include/dpkg-db.h: Move to 'lib'.
+	* include/myopt.h: Move to 'lib'.
+	* include/parsedump.h: Move to 'lib'.
+	* include/tarfn.h: Move to 'lib'.
+	* include/dpkg.h.in: Move to 'lib' and rename to 'dpkg.h', we'll
+	set ADMINDIR, CONFIGDIR and LIBDIR in Makefile where needed as they
+	can contain shell paths.
+	* include: Remove directory.
+
+	* AUTHORS: Add new file detailing the original authors of dpkg and
+	the maintainers through the years.
+	* COPYING: Update to include correct FSF address.
+	* NEWS: Add new file that just points to debian/changelog for major
+	changes between releases.
+	* README: Add new file to briefly describe the package.
+
+	Instead of scattering manpages throughout the source, we'll keep
+	all of the original pages in one place under 'man/C'.  This should
+	make it easier to keep track of them, especially translators.
+
+	* dpkg-deb/dpkg-deb.1: Move to 'man/C'.
+	* dpkg-split/dpkg-split.8: Move to 'man/C'.
+	* dselect/dselect.8: Move to 'man/C'.
+	* scripts/822-date.1: Move to 'man/C'.
+	* scripts/cleanup-info.8: Move to 'man/C'.

+	* src/dpkg.8: Move to 'man/C'.
+	* utils/md5sum.1: Move to 'man/C'.
+	* utils/start-stop-daemon.8: Move to 'man/C'.
+
+	* man/en: Rename directory to 'man/C', reserving country codes for
+	manpages that have actually undergone translation.  These are the
+	"original" format, and like the strings in the code itself don't
+	really belong to any particular locale.
+
+	Continuing the spirit of having only one markup format for manpages,
+	fix up the two generated from POD and remove the POD.
+
+	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.1: Generate with pod2man and remove
+	damage from the top, turning it into respectable nroff.
+	* scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Remove POD documentation from script.
+	* scripts/dpkg-scansources.1: Generate with pod2man and remove
+	damage from the top, turning it into respectable nroff.
+	* scripts/dpkg-scansources.pl: Remove POD documentation from script.
+
+	Remove the SGML files containing the same content as the manpages,
+	but which were never used to generate them.  This avoids confusion,
+	and as one markup format is just as good as another, we'll settle
+	on nroff's man format.
+
+	* man/en/cleanup-info.8.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
+	* man/en/deb-control.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
+	* man/en/deb-old.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
+	* man/en/deb.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
+	* man/en/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.1.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
+	* man/en/dpkg.8.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
+	* man/en/dpkg.cfg.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
+	* man/en/dselect.8.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
+	* man/en/dselect.cfg.5.sgml: Remove SGML format documentation.
+	* man/paths.ent.in: Remove now we have no SGML format pages.
+
+	* attic: Remove historical interest directory, that's what version
+	control is for.
+	* doc: Remove obsolete, incomplete and out-of-date documentation
+	including that licensed under the GFDL (ie the entire directory).
+	* md5sum: Remove empty directory.
+
+	* main: Rename directory to 'src' so it's consistent with 'lib'.
+	* optlib: Rename directory to 'getopt' as that's what's really in it.
+	* split: Rename directory to 'dpkg-split' so it's consistent with
+	'dpkg-deb'.

+Thu May 6 23:44:55 BST 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
+
+  * dselect/helpmsgs.cc: Pressing 'n' repeats the last search, not

+
+  * man/de/Makefile.in: Install update-alternatives.8

+
+Sun Apr 25 17:53:06 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.1: This script no longer checks for

+
+Sun Apr 25 17:45:47 BST 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: Group the -o expression to find

+
+Sun Apr 25 12:27:38 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>
+
+  * main/archive.c: make block and char devices work properly when
+    extracting.  mknod can create other kinds of devices than just char
+    and block devices, so we need to pass the type of device to mknod in
+    the mode argument.
+
+Sun Apr 25 00:46:38 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>
+
+  * split/mksplit.pl: cut off anything after the first piece of whitespace
+    when getting the md5sum, since we now get a different-formatted md5sum
+    back.  (It now has a trailing dash.)
+
+Sun Apr 25 00:23:27 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>

+
+Fri Mar 12 19:02:21 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+  * main/remove.c (removal_bulk_remove_configfiles): Don't change the
+  "previous pointer" pointer if we remove the node from the linked list,
+  ensuring that if the next node is to be removed the right thing will
+  happen.
+
+  This corrects the bug where every second shared or diverted conffile
+  would be incorrectly deleted by dpkg.
+
+Fri Mar 12 15:05:52 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+  * utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Don't require an argument for -V (version).

+  installed.
+
+Thu Mar 11 11:18:29 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Revert change suggested by Javier
+  Fernandez-Sanguino Pena, and don't echo a blank line when dealing
+  with PGP.  PGP itself will fail if we do this, it's needed to
+  satisfy pgpgp, which quite frankly is a bug in pgpgp's emulation
+  of pgp.
+
+Thu Mar  8 01:10:00 CEST 2004  Tollef Fog Heen  <tfheen@debian.org>
+

+  terminated.
+
+Mon Mar  8 18:34:16 GMT 2004 Goswin Brederlow <brederlo@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>
+
+  * lib/parse.c, main/processarc.c: Store Architecture in the status file
+  and don't remove it when processing.  This is a first step towards
+  multi-arch support in a future release of Debian.
+
+Mon Mar  8 18:28:07 GMT 2004 Robert Millan <rmh@debian.org>
+
+  * archtable, configure.in, scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: Update

+Mon Mar  8 18:20:38 GMT 2004 Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena <jfs@computer.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Add blank line to .dsc before

+
+  * debian/control: Remove duplicated uploaders field and add myself
+  to the one that's left.
+
+Mon Mar  8 16:49:13 GMT 2004 Christian Haggstrom <chm@c00.info>
+
+  * lib/mlib.c: Remove extraneous %s in ohshite() call when out of
+  disk space so that condition gets handled correctly and not with
+  a SEGV.
+
+Mon Mar  8 10:14:27 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
+
+  * dselect/methlist.cc, dselect/pkgdisplay.cc: Set the total display width

+
+  * lib/tarfn.c: Copy the Name and LinkName elements and ensure they
+  are NULL-terminated, freeing these copies before returning.  The

+
+Sun Feb 29 21:56:25 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Push build-conflicts errors into
+  @conflicts instead of @unmet, this looks like an accidental error
+  introduced by bad copy&pasting.
+
+Mon Mar  8 17:26:06 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+  * debian/changelog, version-nr: Bump to 1.10.19.
+
+Thu Feb 26 01:48:15 GMT 2004 Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com>
+
+  * main/processarc.c (process_archive): Copy code from main/remove.c
+  to ensure that hardlinks to devices, setuid files or setgid files
+  cannot be stashed away in the hope that they become compromisable
+  in the future.  This was handled when removing a package, but not
+  when upgrading one.

+
+Sat Oct 25 15:02:27 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * almost all .c files: Almost *EVERY* damn file was including config.h in
+    the wrong spot.  After making it the first include, then
+    off_t/size_t/etc could actually be redefined to be 64-bit compatible.

+
+Sat Sep 20 20:42:35 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * man/*
+    * Imported several translated manpages, from debian-doc cvs:
+     * Spanish: 822-date.1 cleanup-info.8 deb-control.5 deb-old.5
+       deb.5 dpkg-checkbuilddeps.1 dpkg-deb.1 dpkg-divert.8 dpkg-name.1
+       dpkg-scanpackages.8 dpkg-split.8 dpkg-statoverride.8 dpkg.8

+     * French: deb.5
+     * Portuguese: dpkg.8 dselect.8
+  * main/dpkg.8: -O had an inverted word.
+  * po/cz.po: Improve translation of: "dpkg - warning: ignoring request to
+    remove %s which isn't installed."
+  * po/it.po: Fix missing space in translation when listing files, and the
+    file is diverted.
+  * po/pl.po:
+    * Updated.
+    * Fix translation of 'conflicts with'
+  * po/ja.po: Fix typo for 'downgrade' in translation of dpkg --force-help.
+  * po/fr.po:
+    * Fix translation when listing files, and the file is diverted.
+    * Fix missing space in translation of: "%s - warning: downgrading %.250s
+      from %.250s to %.250s.\n"
+  * po/da.po: Fix translation of(was missing the leading space): " does not
+    appear to be available\n"
+
+Sat Sep 20 18:45:11 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * utils/start-stop-daemon.[c8]:
+    * Add a -d|--chdir option to start-stop-daemon.
+    * Split the background block into 2 parts: one that does the fork, and
+      opens /dev/tty and /dev/null, and one that does everything else.  The
+      second block is then moved to be run right before the exec.  This
+      allows error messages to be seen from the child(previously, they were
+      lost), and allows for the chroot to not require the device files.
+    * When --start, --startas and --pidfile are given, print 'process'
+      instead of '(null)' for the process name, if it's already running.
+
+Sat Sep 20 17:44:40 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * configure.in, include/dpkg.h.in: Fix (non-)detection of setlocale.
+
+Fri Sep 19 20:02:19 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/changelog: Set date/time for 1.10.15 release.
+
+Fri Sep 19 19:56:48 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * lib/varbuf.c, configure.in: Fix va_copy detection.
+  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Back out debian/rules build-arch
+    detection.  It is *not* possible *at all* to detect available targets
+    in a rules file.  Period.
+
+Fri Sep 19 12:26:54 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/{controllib,dpkg-{source,checkbuilddeps,control}}.pl:
+    * Rewrote the parsedep stuff, so that it wasn't done during control
+      file parsing.  Scripts that need the internal parsed format should
+      call parsedep on the field's value.
+    * Split the substvars parsing into a separate function.
+    * No longer validate dependency fields when reading the control file.
+      Some fields may have vars in them, which breaks the validation.
+    * dpkg-gencontrol calls substvars after parsing the control file, and
+      then validates the substituted depends lines.  Originally,
+      substitution occurred only during writing of the final output file.
+    * Andreas Barth <aba@not.so.argh.org>:
+      Fix bad regex that didn't allow spaces in dependency field parsing.
+      It now directly matches what the c code expects.  It previously was
+      allowing all of \S, which matched on '('.
+      Closes: #211660.
+  * debian/control: Remove stale debug that would have broken installation
+    on s390.
+  * debian/rules: We were calling our own local copy of dpkg-gencontrol,
+    but the system-installed copy of dpkg-shlibdeps.  Now, both are called
+    from the build directory.
+
+Wed Sep 17 13:26:14 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/changelog, version-nr: Updated to 1.10.13.

+
+  * scripts/controllib.pl: Fix parsing of deps when both () and [] are
+    specified.
+  * scripts/controllib.pl: Set $host_arch in controllib.pl:parsedep.
+  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Don't output the [] stuff when finding
+    invalid deps.
+
+Tue Sep 16 13:44:06 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

+
+Tue Sep 16 12:50:44 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Remove -w, as it causes runtime
+    warnings.  The code isn't clean enough yet to support it.
+
+Mon Sep 15 19:08:28 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/rules: No longer generate any BYHAND files.  Also, fix bug in
+    pseudo-tags installation.
+
+Mon Sep 15 18:53:06 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/rules, debian/pseudo-tags: Install
+    /usr/share/doc/dpkg/pseudo-tags, which talks about the bug titling we
+    use to mark bugs for filtering in the Debian bts.
+
+Mon Sep 15 18:48:39 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Call debian/rules -qn build-arch, and if
+    it's available, modify -B handling appropriately.  If build-arch is not
+    available, then when -B was called, do *not* pass -B on to
+    dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
+
+Sun Sep 14 21:45:44 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * configure.in: Fix broken os_type detection on linux.

+
+  * po/ca.po: Updated.
+
+Sun, 14 Sep 2003 21:16:18 -0500 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/controllib.pl, scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl: Moved dependency
+    parsing logic from dpkg-checkbuilddeps.  The dpkg-checkbuilddeps parser
+    didn't support empty fields, while the controllib parser did.
+  * scripts/controllib.pl:
+    * Dependency fields are now parsed into a nested list structure.
+    * All dependency fields now support [arch] constructs.  Those that
+      don't apply for the current host_arch are removed during parsing.
+    * Comment lines(those that start with '#') are ignored during parsing.
+    * Store the original field's casing with 'o:' prepended in %fi.
+  * scripts/dpkg-checkbuilddeps.pl:  Because of the above controllib.pl
+    changes, this script is much simpler now.
+  * scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl:
+    * Use the original casing of field names when reporting unknown fields.
+  * scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl, scripts/controllib.pl: After opening files,
+    set binmode.
+
+Sun Sep 14 17:24:20 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * dselect/{Makefile.in,helpmsgs.{cc,h,src},mkhelpmsgs.pl,.cvsignore}:
+    No longer generate helpmsgs.{cc,h}.
+

+
+  * scripts/update-alternatives.{pl,8}:
+    * Apply patch that provides --set and --remove-all commands.
+    * --all calls --config on all alternatives.
+  * scripts/update-alternatives.pl:
+    * Alter --config prompt, to be more clear, that one must 'press' enter
+      to accept the default.
+    * Fix some -w issues.
+    * Check whether the target path exists when removing.
+
+Sat Sep 13 20:48:02 CDT 2003 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+

+    on stdout.
+  * main/dpkg{,-query}.8: Mention what -S will not find.

+    consequences.
+  * scripts/dpkg-scanpackages.8: Include small note that other tools might
+    use the generated Packages file.

+    packages nowadays.

+
+Sun Sep 15 12:48:36 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * main/help.c: Fix dereference in cu_closefd(), which was the cause of
+    close(random number) on most arches, but close(0) on s390x.
+
+Sun Sep 15 12:43:00 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * version-nr, debian/changelog: Set 1.10.9 version.

+
+  * debian/changelog: Set date for 1.10.8 release.
+
+Thu Sep  5 16:31:11 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/install-info.pl: Make the multiline regex have an upper bound,
+    instead of being unbounded, as newer perls have a larger stack frame,
+    which cause them to segfault quicker with larger inputs.
+
+Thu Sep  5 16:29:39 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * version-nr, debian/changelog: Set 1.10.8 version.

+
+  * debian/changelog: Set date for 1.10.7 release.
+
+Tue Sep  3 18:40:08 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * lib/dbmodify.c: Fix double free in modstatdb_init, in the case that
+    modstatdb_shutdown was called previously.
+
+Tue Sep  3 18:37:45 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * lib/nfmalloc.c: Protect duplicate calls to obstack_free(),

+

+
+  * dpkg-deb/main.c, dselect/main.cc, include/dpkg.h.in, lib/startup.c
+    main/main.c, main/query.c, split/main.c:  Don't call nffreeall, in any
+    of the c/c++ programs.  It appears dselect slightly corrupts it's
+    memory enough that it can't be freed without segfaulting.
+
+Sat Aug 31 23:42:08 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * version-nr, debian/changelog: Modified for version 1.10.6.
+
+Thu Aug 29 16:43:45 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/changelog: Set date for release.
+

+
+  * lib/dbmodify.c, lib/dump.c, lib/lock.c, lib/startup.c, lib/tarfn.c
+    main/configure.c, main/filesdb.c, main/query.c: Fix several minor
+    memleaks.
+
+Thu Aug 29 14:42:05 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * lib/parsehelp.c: Fix corruption of available file, caused by use of
+    memory that was previously freed.
+
+Thu Aug 29 14:31:22 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * lib/parse.c: Check for eof before we getc(), not after.
+
+Sat Aug 24 15:36:41 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/install-info.pl: Previous install-infos(before 1.10) handled
+    multiple dir file entries, because they would copy the entire stanza
+    unmodified.  The newest version does not do this, as it reformats the
+    options, and thereby only takes the first line.  So, we now split all
+    the lines from the stanza, and process them all.

+
+Tue Jul  2 10:20:40 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>
+
+  * debian/rules: cp instead of mv since we need files for both dpkg

+
+Sun May 26 01:35:34 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * lib/tarfn.c: dpkg now reorders symlinks when extracting debs.  However,
+    this is also still done when building debs.  After a stable release of
+    Debian has occurred with this modified dpkg, the reordering when

+
+Sun May 26 01:28:00 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/dpkg.postinst: Fix /usr/info/dir moving/symlink code.
+
+Sun May 26 01:10:24 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * Fix some mis-merging of the 1.9 branch:
+    * debian/rules, debian/dpkg.conffiles: dselect was split to a separate
+      deb, no longer install dselect.cfg into dpkg.deb.  Also, dpkg.cfg is
+      no longer a conffile.
+
+Sat May 25 22:45:06 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

+
+  * scripts/dpkg-source.1: Fix documentation of -v<version> for

+    be in the changelog.
+
+Fri May 24 22:06:48 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: Close the old debian/files file,
+    before doing a rename.
+
+Fri May 24 22:00:01 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh, scripts/dpkg-source.pl,

+
+  * scripts/dpkg-architecture.pl: s/build on/built on/; same for

+
+Fri May 24 21:03:43 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-scanpackages.pl: Give proper case for Source and
+    Installed-Size.
+
+Fri May 24 01:10:45 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

+
+Thu May 23 23:23:03 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * lib/lock.c: Use setcloexec wrapper instead of calling fcntl directly.
+
+Thu May 23 15:21:09 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * TODO: Add items for --reconfigure and --call-maint-script.
+
+Thu May 23 11:16:28 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

+Tue May 21 17:20:12 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>
+
+  * debian/dpkg.postinst: remove compat stuff for ancient dpkg versions.
+    This also enables the /usr/info/dir move code which was never reached
+
+Mon May 20 00:58:17 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * main/enquiry.c, main/main.h, utils/md5sum.c, split/dpkg-split.h,
+    split/split.c, lib/Makefile.in, include/dpkg.h.in, dpkg-deb/build.c,
+    dpkg-deb/dpkg-deb.h: Even more gcc warning fixes.
+
+Sun May 19 23:39:02 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * <all Makefile.in>, Makefile.conf.in: Add rules to Makefile.conf, to
+    rebuild Makefile if $(srcdir)/Makefile.in is modified.  This also
+    required adding a 'default' target to all Makefiles.
+
+Sun, 19 May 2002 22:56:41 -0500 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * utils/md5sum.c: Fairly heavy work(net no lines changed), to fix
+    longjmp() clashing variable warnings.  Also, a few miscellaneous gcc
+    -W<foo> fixes.
+
+Sun May 19 20:25:05 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * lib/showpkg.c, lib/utils.c, optlib/long-options.c, main/archives.c,
+    main/configure.c, main/main.c, main/main.h, main/query.c,
+    optlib/long-options.c, lib/showpkg.c, lib/utils.c: Several more gcc
+    -W<foo> fixes.
+
+Sun May 19 18:48:39 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/rules: Fix overzealous running of autoheader for every build.
+
+Sun May 19 06:05:24 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * configure.in: Split out the -W*-prototype warnings into separate
+    checks.
+
+Sun May 19 06:01:31 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * configure.in, automake/dpkg.m4: Make a new macro, DPKG_C_GCC_ATTRIBUTE.
+
+Sun May 19 05:57:24 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * automake/dpkg.m4.  Gah, I hate gcc.  AC_TRY_COMPILE() produces code
+    of the form 'int main() { ... }'.  When -Werror -Wstrict-prototypes is
+    given to gcc, it thinks the above code snippet is an error, and aborts.
+    This was making DPKG_C_GCC_TRY_WARNS disable some -W options.  So, I
+    no longer use AC_TRY_COMPILE.
+
+Sun May 19 04:56:51 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/rules:  Oops.  The command to run is aclocal, not aclocal.m4.
+
+Sun May 19 04:45:41 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * configure.in, config.h.bot(removed), acconfig.h(removed):  The latest
+    autoheader/autoconf combination allows us to do everything in
+    configure.in.  config.h.bot is now in AH_BOTTOM(), and the
+    descriptions for all the defines(from acconfig.h) are now part of
+    AC_DEFINE().
+
+Sun May 19 04:41:07 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/rules: All the hard-coded calls to scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl
+    are now down thru a variable, GENCONTROL.
+
+Sun May 19 04:26:58 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/rules: Remove all calls to $(shell pwd), and use $(CURDIR).
+    Also, `pwd` is removed.  There was a var, DIR := $(shell pwd);
+    instances of this var were also replaced with CURDIR.
+
+Sun May 19 04:18:46 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/rules: If automake/*.m4 is modified, rebuild aclocal.m4.  If
+    aclocal.m4 or configure.in are modified, rebuild configure.in.
+    config.h.in gets rebuilt if configure.in is modified.  And, lastly,
+    configure is rerun, if configure or config.h.in is modified.
+
+Sun May 19 04:09:25 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/rules: Fix targets, so that if configure fails, but actually
+    succeeds in creating config.status(as might happen if one has a
+    c-style comment in configure.in, and the shell tries running /foo), then
+    the build will actually fail correctly.
+
+Sun May 19 02:31:11 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * acconfig.h: Oops.  Forgot to add #undef HAVE_GNUC25_UNUSED.
+
+Sun May 19 02:31:11 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * config.h.bot, configure.in, optlib/getopt.c: Define an UNUSED macro,
+    for __attribute__((unused)).
+
+Sun May 19 02:31:11 CDT 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * optlib/error.h, optlib/getopt.c, utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Use
+    the configure detected gcc __attribute__ macros, instead of
+    hard-coding them.
+
+Thu May 16 19:09:48 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>
+
+  * po/da.po: New version from Claus Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk>

+
+Wed Apr 10 00:39:58 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>
+
+  * configure.in: use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE and bump autoconf requirement to 2.50
+    since 2.13 does not include AC_SYS_LARGEFILE
+  * utils/md5sum.h: include config.h earlier so we pick up the LFS flags
+    before including the system includefiles
+  * scripts/dpkg-source.1: fix typo for shlibs
+
+Mon Apr  1 18:57:02 CEST 2002 Wichert Akkerman <wichert@deephackmode.org>

+
+Mon Mar 11 23:22:37 CST 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * configure.in: Bad Wichert.  Always modify configure.in when adding
+    subdirs(add pt_BR).
+
+Fri Mar  1 23:51:06 CST 2002 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * Makefile.in: Allow for make -j to work thru the top-level targets.
+    There are problems, however, as the system will try to compile the

+
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Disable source package sanity checking.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: make Uploaders optional.
+    + scripts/controllib.pl: Set the default to convert warnerrors
+      into warnings.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Remove a warnable error if the orig.tar.gz

+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle symlinks in the tarball, and don't
+      error out if found.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Add support for an Uploaders field, which is
+      read from the first paragraph of debian/control, and propagated to
+      the .dsc.  This lists the people allowed to upload a package.  If it
+      is not set, then the value of the Maintainer is placed into this
+      field of the .dsc.  This bumps the .dsc format to 1.1.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle stating of truncated cpio filenames
+      (100 char limit, bah)
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Set LC_ALL before calling external programs,
+      when we are going to parse their output.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Move the check for '\n' and '././@LongLink'
+      before the check for leading './'.
+    + dselect/main.cc: Handle window resize in main menu

+      contains './'.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Handle the case where a single directory
+      exists in the orig.tar.gz, but it is NOT of the form <pkg>-<ver>.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Don't error out if the files in the tar
+      have leading './'.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl, scripts/controllib.pl, scripts/dpkg-source.1,
+      scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Add support for -W, which turns certain
+      errors into warnings, and -E, which turns them back into errors again.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: When the tarball doesn't contain directories,
+      only display the warning once for each directory.
+    + THANKS: Added Colin Watson.  Also put in an email address for Colin
+      Plumb.
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Grumble.  Fix case where top-dir in
+      orig.tar.gz was renamed to .orig.

+    + scripts/cl-debian.pl: Change list of allowed urgencies to: low, medium,
+      high, and critical.
+    + scripts/dpkg-scanpackages.pl: warn instead of die when find returns
+      an error(which happens if there is a dangling symlink, because we use
+      -follow).
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Apply patch from Colin Watson:
+      * Reset SIGPIPE to DEFAULT when forking gzip.
+      * set LANG to C before execing cpio, as we parse its output.
+      * In checktarcpio() and checktarsane(), use the previously open pipes,
+        instead of the opening files on disk(which was the old, ancient way).
+      * Improve the output parsing of tar in checktarsane().
+    + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: When both arch: all and arch: <arch> packages

+  * Merge changes from v1_9_10 tag:
+    + scripts/update-alternatives.pl: Fix switching to auto mode if
+      alternative symlink goes missing.

+    main/query.c: Split out code for commands -sSlLp into a separate

+
+Wed May  2 12:32:24 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * configure.in: If --without-zlib was given, and static programs were

+
+  * lib/parse.c: Oops.  EOF_mmap was incorrectly detecting the end of the

+  * main/depcon.c: After fixing the above bug, and using debootstrap to

+
+Tue May  1 00:24:49 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * acconfig.h, config.h.bot, configure.in, lib/varbuf.c, debian/changelog:

+
+Sun Apr 29 22:39:55 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

+
+Sun Apr 29 22:08:37 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * Makefile.conf.in, configure.in, debian/control, debian/rules,
+    dpkg-deb/Makefile.in, main/Makefile.in, utils/Makefile.in,
+    .cvsignore debian/.cvsignore: Added -static support.  There is support
+    for building a dpkg-static.deb, but this is not used during a normal
+    run.  However, a -static.nondebbin.tar.gz file is created, in addition
+    to the normal nondebbin.tar.gz.
+
+Mon Apr 30 02:35:02 CEST 2001 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/control: update section and priorities to match the dinstall

+
+Sat Apr 28 15:22:25 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>

+    hit.
+
+Sat Apr 28 14:31:27 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-divert.pl, debian/changelog: Fix removing of diversions.
+    This has always been broken, but was just masked by another bug, that

+
+Sat Apr 28 12:18:55 CEST 2001 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: only check for valid sign interface
+    when the user specifies one
+
+Sat Apr 28 03:33:28 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * debian/dpkg.cfg: Changed to include no-debsig by default, as no debs
+    are currently signed, and we get false errors when debsig-verify is
+    installed.  This will be removed in the future, when the archive tools
+    support package signatures.
+
+Fri Apr 27 20:43:25 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * lib/nfmalloc.c: nfstrnsave() was not allocated n+1 chars, and was not
+    setting the n+1 byte to \0.
+
+Sat Apr 28 02:52:56 CEST 2001 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: do not care if dpkg --search returns
+    with an error: it will do that know if we search for something
+    that is not installed which is a valid case for us.
+
+Fri Apr 27 13:14:04 CDT 2001 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+

+
+  * include/dpkg-db.h: redeclare nfmalloc(), remove obstack definitions

+
+  * main/cleanup.c, main/help.c, main/processarc.c:  Removed duplicate
+    code that was used to exec maintainer scripts, and moved it to a

+  * lib/database.c: Fix minor memleak in used function hashreport.

+
+  * lib/parse.c:  Removed use of getc(), and instead use pointers
+    into a gigantic memory buffer(either thru mmap, or by copying

+
+  * lib/fields.c, lib/parsehelp.c, include/dpkg-db.h: Increased the
+    speed of convert_string() by a factor of 2, by storing the length
+    of each string inside the struct(this function is used to convert
+    strings into integer values).
+
+Tue Dec 26 03:43:17 CST 2000 Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
+
+  * acconfig.h, config.h.bot, configure.in, main/filesdb.c,

+
+  * scripts/update-rc.d: Changed documentation and help, as -f only

+
+Wed Dec 20 12:50:55 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

+
+  * configure.in, Makefile.conf.in: Move -D_GNU_SOURCE from configure.in

+    + dselect/pkgtop.cc: change code to reflect that the empty case for
+      an eflagstring is now a single space, not an empty string (since
+      gettext can't handle empty strings).
+    + main/help.c: allocate a bit more space for the path buffer in checkpath()
+    + main/main.c: fix location of --abort-after in --help output

+
+Sat Apr 15 14:53:23 EDT 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * TODO: updated
+  * debian/rules: explicitly strip the setgid bit for debian/tmp-*.
+    This is needed since the kernel copies it when we create subdirs
+    and install doesn't strip it even though we explicitly ask for
+    a mode 755 directory. Updated clean target to run make distclean
+    to remove generated sourcefiles as well.
+  * dpkg-deb/build.c: add comments to describe what we are doing.

+    + debian/changelog: include changes for 1.6.12
+    + dpkg-genchanges: recognize non-deb packages (tarballs, such as
+      dpkg-non-deb and boot-floppies disk tarballs). This makes sure that we
+      include them when figuring up the Arch field in the .changes
+    + scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: Don't default to no signing until
+      after we parsed the options, otherwise we will miss overrides.
+
+Wed Apr 12 19:06:27 EDT 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: add dpkg:Version and dpkg:UpstreamVersion

+
+  * Synchronize with potato-branch again:
+    + debian/changelog: update to 1.6.10
+    + scripts/dpkg-divert.pl: reinstate last writeability-patch. Modified
+      to not abort on ENOENT: this indicates a directory does not (yet)
+      exist. If this happens don't try to rename.
+    + scripts/update-alternatives.pl:
+      + update usage-warning to reflect the new --config option
+      + Document some global variables
+      + Switch back to auto-mode when removing a manually selected alternative
+    + dselect/{dselect.h,main.cc,pkglist.cc}: remove CAN_RESIZE stuff

+  * Update lots of documentation
+  * main/enquiry.c: handle failed open of /dev/tty
+  * main/remove.c: revert earlier patch from Oct 11 1999 to remove
+    conffiles before removing directories. Due to the changed execution
+    order conffiles were no longer around when the postrm was run.
+    which is not what we want.
+  * methods/Makefile.in: create $(admindir)/methods/mnt
+  * scripts/dpkg-gencontrol.pl: undo Source-Version changes

+
+Sun Feb 13 01:06:46 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.sh: we know that dpkg-architecture is
+    installed since we provide it, so don't test for its existence
+  * More updates from Marcus Brinkmann:
+    + archtable: Change first column format from CPU to CPU-OS.
+      Add entry for i386-gnu. Update comment.
+    + configure.in: Check Debian architecture revamped:
+      More appropriate check title. Check for CPU-OS in archtable (instead
+      just CPU). Enclose result message in [...] (because of the comma
+      character). After the test, $dpkg_archset can't be empty, so remove
+      following test which is always true.
+    + Remove internal use of --print-architecture:
+      scripts/controllib.pl: Use always dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH
+      scripts/dpkg-buildpackage: Don't set $arch at command line parsing time,
+        instead, always set it later with dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH
+      dpkg-name.pl: Fall back to dpkg --print-installation-architecture.
+
+Sat Feb 12 17:11:33 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * configure.in: don't try to outguess what CFLAGS should be

+      overwriting previous results.
+    + utils/start-stop-daemon.c: update HURD specifics
+    + configure.in: revamp HURD detection stuff
+    + debian/rules: use dpkg-buildarchitecture to get proper info,
+      set config_arg if we are crosscompiling
+    + debian/rules: typo in clean target, scan start-stop-daemon for
+      shlibdeps
+
+Tue Feb  8 21:33:58 EST 2000 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
+
+  * main/{processarc,archive}.c: Make the conflictor an array of structs and
+    make sure that check_conflicts uses that and increments a global indexes
+    for the array. The reason that multiple conflicts/replaces were getting
+    borked had something to do with the first one in the hash not being
+    processed. This was the result of bad pointer games, so this makes it a
+    lot cleaner.
+
+Wed Jan 19 16:41:04 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/controllib.pl: add comment with description of global variables

+  * scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: update to version from dpkg_test_bz2_syslog_sigs
+    branch:
+    + use objdump instead of ldd
+    + correct checks on shlibs.local

+  * lib/compat.c: add sys_siglist
+  * configure.in: add tests for snprintf and sys_siglist
+  * include/dpkg.h.in: don't include sys/sysinfo.h, filesdb.c is the only
+    thing that needs it and it has its own include.
+
+Tue Jan 11 02:02:00 CET 2000 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+

+  * dselect/main.cc: fix help for -D

+  * dselect/pkgdisplay.cc: Replace empty string for eflags with a space

+  * po/update.sh: Generate dselect/helpmsgs.{cc,h} so we can translate them.
+  * po/POTFILES.in: add dselect/helpmsgs.cc
+  * dselect/Makefile.in: put helpmsgs.{cc,h} in $(srcdir), since gettext
+    will barf on us if we put them in the builddir. (The real issue here is
+    that when we generate the .po-files we don't know what the builddir will

+    Instead make it similar to suggests but default to selecting the package.
+
+Sat Nov 27 09:46:26 EST 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
+

+Fri Nov 19 15:04:10 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * `n' is also searchagain in dselect now

+
+Thu Nov 18 10:27:35 EST 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
+
+  * utils/start-stop-daemon.c: Added ability for user.group arg to

+
+Tue Nov  2 20:19:48 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Fix some language mixups: our Polish translation was actually
+    Czech, and we somehow lost the real Polish text..
+
+Mon Nov  1 23:25:32 CET 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Add partial Russian translation from Michael Sobolev <mss@transas.com>

+
+Mon Oct 25 11:55:35 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps: start using objdump as opposed to ldd, this
+    works much more cleanly, works with libc5, and allows from better
+    error reporting. Also corrected checks on shlibs.local, which wasn't
+    really being parsed, it now works as advertised.
+  * scripts/{dpkg-gencontrol,dpkg-source,controllib.pl}: fixed references
+    to old style build dep fields to match current policy amendment
+
+Mon Oct 25 17:12:34 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

+    also compress the info and ps files for internals in dpkg-doc
+
+Mon Oct 25 06:50:17 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * main/processarc.c: fixes calculation of package filename display (the
+    ".../foo.deb" one) where it was showing the full path if the basename
+    was longer than 30 chars. Now shows just the basename if it can't
+    squeeze the full path to < 30 chars (even if the basename is > than 30
+    chars)
+
+Mon Oct 25 02:27:49 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * dselect/main.cc: Fixup error message for invalid parameter to reflect
+    we are dselect, not dpkg
+
+Sun Oct 24 20:46:44 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: we want to 'delete' the POSIXLY_CORRECT env
+    not 'undef'
+
+Sun Oct 24 20:25:11 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * debian/dpkg-doc-{postrm,prerm}: Added install-info for internals.info
+  * debian/dpkg-internals: fixed misplaced description
+
+Sun Oct 24 11:39:21 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * debian/control: added dpkg-doc
+  * debian/dpkg-doc-{postinst,prerm}: new files for dpkg-doc package
+  * debian/dpkg-internals: doc-base support for dpkg-doc
+  * debian/rules: added build rules for dpkg-doc to binary-indep target
+  * doc/Makefile.am: changed build setup for internals.sgml to use the
+    debiandoc tools, and removed internals.* stuff from being built by
+    default. Two new targets, internals and internals-install, now handle
+    this
+  * doc/changelog: removed, duplicate of ChangeLog
+  * doc/internals.sgml: converted to debiandoc format, now builds correctly
+    and without errors
+  * doc/manuals-version: removed since it is generated at build time
+  * doc/texinfo.*: moved to doc/obsolete/ since the debiandoc format doesn't
+    need them
+  * main/filesdb.c: fixed compiler warning
+
+Sat Oct 23 21:23:08 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Added 'D' to the list of choices for conffile handling
+
+Sat Oct 23 16:25:16 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * main/{processarc.c,depcon.c}: added new structure for conflictors,
+    which contains a struct for conflicts. This is used to create an array
+    of conflicting packages, which are going to be replaced. Allows for
+    multiple conflicts and replaces. All conflictor handlers were
+    converted to loops to handle each one (processarc.c).
+
+Sat Oct 23 09:22:16 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Leave file info intact in available when installing packages. MD5sum,
+    Filename, and MSDOS-Filename used to get lost when installing a package.
+  * Backout dep check patch (merged from v1_4_1_18)
+  * Added armv4l to archtable
+
+Thu Oct 21 12:57:31 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Fixed incorrect patch for --print-architecture (oops, oh well
+    it was already broken when there was no gcc anyway :)
+  * Fixed missing mipseb that was supposed to be in the archtable
+  * Better output in update-alternatives --config, now shows the
+    current, and the preferred choices.
+  * dpkg-name: ignore epoch when getting version
+  * 50dpkg-dev.el: add it as a conffile for dpkg-dev
+  * dpkg-shlibdeps: redirect STDERR to /dev/null for the dpkg fork so we
+    don't see dpkg's errors
+  * internals.sgml: Removed references to the versions of build tools,
+    they date the document.
+  * debian-changelog-mode.el: added hint for better log-email handling
+  * Added recognition for new source-depends fields for policy
+    referenced in bug #41232
+  * dpkg-buildpackage: add -ap option to force a pause prior to starting
+    the sign process. This helps for people who don't keep their signatures
+    on the filesystem (on a floppy perhaps, then mount as needed).
+  * minor script corrections
+  * dpkg-dev control: Change gcc to c-compiler in the recommends field, and
+    move cpio, patch and make to the depends line
+
+Thu Oct 21 10:22:43 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Fixed the check that was added to dpkg-divert.
+  * Removed the lib version checking.
+  * Oops, somehow the --config feature went missing from update-
+    alternatives
+
+Thu Oct 21 13:22:42 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Update copyright (taken from dpkg-iwj tree, with Ben added)
+  * Add support for long filenames in tarfiles. Based on a patch
+    from Andrew Hobson <ahobson@eng.mindspring.net>
+  * Add a --assert-longfilenames option
+
+Thu Oct 21 06:37:24 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Fixed some compiler warnings
+  * Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
+    pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
+  * When running --configure on an already installed package, just
+    say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
+    state
+  * Bah, add all the prefix/datadir... stuff back to the install
+    target in debian/rules (po/ doesn't use it)
+  * Add function to libdpkg that dpkg can call to make sure it's
+    compiled version matches that of the library. If it fails,
+    complain loudly, but proceed anyway.
+  * Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
+    since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
+    borked in the first place
+  * Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
+  * Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
+  * start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
+  * update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
+    are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
+    to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
+  * dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
+    destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
+    changing the diversion registry
+  * Fix bad regex in update-rc.d
+
+Tue Oct 19 18:07:28 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Ok, TMPDIR usage is back in dpkg-deb and working
+  * {include,scripts}/Makefile.am: Fix for using DESTDIR
+  * debian/rules: really convert to DESTDIR on install target this
+    time. chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
+    in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
+    distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
+    simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
+    source.
+
+Tue Oct 19 09:59:22 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Reverted the new tmpfile stuff in dpkg-deb. For some reason it's
+    completely corrupting the new package
+
+Mon Oct 18 18:40:35 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
+    this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
+    different in layout. Note, I tested the first way and this new way
+    against package foo (version 1 & 2) each had 5000 files (different
+    in version 2 than in version 1). basically this meant the old way
+    needed to do about 2.5 million lstats, and the new way only needs
+    10,000 lstats. This sped it up about %6000 percent (the old way took
+    over 1 hour on a 333Mhz, the new way was 2 minutes and 20 seconds).
+    Note that this is an extreme case since most per package upgrades
+    a) don't have 5000 files
+    b) don't have all the files different
+  * Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
+    for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
+    largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
+
+Mon Oct 18 09:25:30 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Add mipseb to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
+    both viable names for the mips big endian arch
+  * Update dpkg-architecture's archtable
+  * Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
+    we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
+    already generated anyway
+  * Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
+    to libtool itself after running configure, much cleaner, and
+    reversible since libtool is a generated file
+  * Use DESTDIR when installing instead of specifying all our
+    dest dirs separately in the make line. Also fix some of the
+    make files to use DESTDIR when installing files
+  * Regenerated .po files and dpkg.pot. Also added update.sh to the po/
+    subdir for easier regenerating for cvs only
+  * Make release.sh generate .gmo files
+  * Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
+    Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
+    arch
+
+Sun Oct 17 13:40:46 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
+  * Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
+    when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
+    this is just a documentation fix).
+  * Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
+    it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
+  * Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
+    a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
+  * Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
+  * When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
+    packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
+    and continue.
+  * Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
+    the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
+    output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
+
+Sun Oct 17 11:51:36 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Revert to hardcoding ENOENT again, since the necessary parts of
+    the perl POSIX module aren't in perl-*-base. sigh.
+
+Sat Oct 16 11:43:45 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+  * Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
+    a different uid when starting a process
+  * Added mipsel to the archtable for completeness
+  * Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
+    of the registered alternatives for a specific name
+  * Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
+    and uses
+  * Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
+    it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor
+
+Thu Oct 14 04:51:14 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Don't use Errno module but the POSIX module, since that *is*
+    in perl-*-base
+  * Fixup debian/rules
+
+Thu Oct 14 04:39:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Update dpkg manpage to add new --force-conf* options
+
+Thu Oct 14 04:16:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Reinstate patch to not read available-file with doing listfiles.
+  * Don't forget to get the correct SHELL before showing a diff of
+    conffiles!
+  * Merge a patch from Ben Collins to add a bunch of --force options
+    to handle changed conffiles
+
+Thu Oct 14 03:37:52 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Add mips to archtable
+  * Use Errno module to get ENOENT instead of hardcoding it
+
+Thu Oct 14 02:47:40 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Fix C error we introduced in checkpath() earlier
+
+Wed Oct 13 20:41:16 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Update oldfile-check in process_archive so we don't experience
+    memory corruption
+
+Wed Oct 13 17:51:17 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Merge patches from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>:
+    + fix windowresizing in dselect
+    + when upgrading check if a file is not also in the new package before
+	  removing it, so we don't remove new files due to symlinks confusing us
+    + fix logic error in checkforremoval: it was breaking cycles in for the
+      wrong package
+    + fix findbreakcycle to remove cycles even for packages we are not changing
+
+Mon Oct 11 22:19:01 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Add the option to show a diff of the old and new conffile when
+    configuring a package
+
+Tue Oct 12 17:15:08 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * don't die if we can't open a package in dpkg-scanpackages, just print
+    a warning and skip the package.
+
+Mon Oct 11 18:18:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Move dselect into its own package
+
+Mon Oct 11 17:37:47 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Added support for HURD to start-stop-daemon
+  * Create new directory utils/ for extra C-programs, and move
+    start-stop-daemon there.
+
+Mon Oct 11 15:47:18 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Preparation to move start-stop-daemon from scripts to utils
+  * Merge patches from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>:
+    + modify removal_bulk to remove conffiles when purging a package before we
+      remove its directories.
+    + check if we violate conflicts/depends/pre-depends of other packages when
+      processing an archive.
+
+Mon Oct 11 02:13:15 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Merge patch from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> to make dpkg-deb
+    handle packages created with Linux ar.
+
+Thu Oct  7 01:16:23 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Check if sequencecode is between 0 and 99 instead of just checking
+    for a number in update-rc.d
+
+Wed Oct  6 14:40:33 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Lock complete lockfile for database: it's empty anyway, and Hurd
+    doesn't support partial locks currently
+  * Don't use PATH_MAX but allocate necessary memory in checkpath().
+    Useful for system that don't have PATH_MAX (like Hurd)
+
+Tue Oct  5 19:16:38 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Set docdir to $(datadir)/doc
+  * Install /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dpkg-dev.el with mode 644
+
+Tue Oct  5 04:08:41 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Make /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev a symlink to /usr/share/doc/dpkg
+
+Mon Oct  4 15:38:42 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

+
+Sat Oct  2 16:00:38 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

+
+Mon Sep 27 04:25:32 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+  * Change changelog-style for ChangeLog, the package-style doesn't work
+    well for CVS IMHO.
+  * Merged patch from Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org> to make update-alternatives.pl
+    work across filesystems
+
+dpkg (1.4.1.12) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Non-maintainer release.
+  * Fix typo in chmodsafe_unlink that made dpkg chmod files that

+    (virtual packages).
+  * Revamped dselect's related package selection/deselection
+    algorithms.
+  * Everything can now handle arbitrary `class' values (as well
+    as the predefined ones which we understand and can interpret).
+  * Fixed bug that prevented display update when moving down a small
+    recursive package list in dselect.
+  * Column heading characters corrected from `SHOC' to `HSOC'.

+
+Mon, 27 Mar 1995 03:30:51 BST  Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>
+
+	* dpkg (0.93.32): Alpha dselect released and installed in
+	                  /usr/sbin/dselect.
+	* dpkg (0.93.32): Many portability enhancements: should now
+	                  compile using GCC 2.6.3, and dpkg-deb should
+	                  compile better on non-Linux systems.
+	* dpkg (0.93.32): dpkg will not loop if its stdin disappears
+	                  and it needs to prompt.
+	* dpkg (0.93.32): Fixed removal dependency error to show
+	                  correct package (Bug #648).
+	* dpkg (0.93.32): Tidied up copyright notices.
+	* dpkg (0.93.32): First draft of update-rc.d manpage, not yet
+	                  installed in /usr/man.
+	* dpkg (0.93.32): Changes to top-level Makefile.in to improve
+	                  error trapping.

+	* dpkg (0.93.32): Added vercmp.c with version comparison code.
+	* dpkg (0.93.32): varbufextend message changed - varbufs not
+	                  just for input buffers.
+	* dpkg (0.93.32): varbuf has C++ member functions in header
+	                  #ifdef __cplusplus.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.31:
+
+* start-stop-daemon --pidfile now works (Bug#571).
+* Fixed dependency processing bugs which could require a rerun of
+  dpkg --configure (Bug#566).
+* Fixed garbage output for `language' of control file in dpkg-deb --info.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.30:
+
+* Added /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.29:
+
+* Made postinst scripts really be run when dpkg --purge used.
+* Added new --force-extractfail option - VERY DANGEROUS.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.28:
+
+* Removed undef of 0x_p21 in read_database_file, which caused the
+  the whole status database to become trashed when any update files
+  were read.
+* Make infinite-loop prevention and cycle detection work.
+* Made findbreakcycle work (ie, break properly when cycle detected).
+* New script, update-rc.d, to update links /etc/rc?.d/[KS]??*.

+* Cosmetic error message fix to dpkg-deb.
+* Deleted OLD directory altogether.
+* Improved error-trapping in top-level Makefile loops.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.27:
+
+* Make version number specifications in Depends &c work.
+* Added AC_PROG_CXX to autoconf.in for dselect.
+* Changed myopt.h not to have cipaction field in cmdinfo (this was
+  specially for dpkg-deb) - now we have a generic void*.
+* Renamed `class' member of `pkginfoperfile' to `clas' [sic].
+* Much work in `dselect' subdirectory.
+* Deleted executables, objects and libraries from OLD tree !
+* Minor changes to various copyright notices and top-of-file comments.
+* Don't install nasty Perl dselectish thing as /usr/bin/dselect.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.26:
+
+* Added --no-also-select instead of not auto-selecting on --unpack
+  but doing so on --install; removed --force-unpack-any.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.25:
+
+* Fixed duplicate output (failure to flush before fork) bug.
+* More clarification of md5sum.c copyright.
+* Corrected typo in ChangeLog in 0.93.24 source package.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.24:
+
+* dpkg could copy conffiles info from one package to another.  Aargh.
+  Bug #426.
+* dpkg failed to initialise status if you tried to remove or
+  configure a nonexistent package.  Bug #419.
+* install-info now handles START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY entries like:
+   * Gdb::                         The GNU debugger.
+  Previously it would only accept (Bug #407):
+   * Gdb: (gdb).                   The GNU debugger.
+* When installing a new foo.info[.gz], install-info now replaces
+   * Foo: (foo.info).              The Gnoo Foo.
+  as well as just * Foo: (foo). ...
+* Moved option parsing out of dpkg-deb into libdpkg.
+* Assorted minor source code rearrangements.
+* Fixed assorted copyright notices, clarified md5sum copyright.
+* Corrected typo in 0.93.23 source package's ChangeLog.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.23:
+
+* `dpkg-deb' --build now does a syntax check on the control file.
+* `dselect' is now no longer called `debian', spurious copy removed
+  from package top-level source directory.
+* C control information parsing complete and somewhat tested.
+* Moved `global' include files into $(srcdir)/include from ../lib,
+  added some files to the lib Makefile, and arranged for pop_cleanup().
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.22:
+
+* Fixed bug which caused dpkg to see failures of md5sum where there
+  were none (would also have caused dpkg to miss a real failure).
+* Fixed failure to update some `status' database fields.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.21:
+
+* Fixed error-handling bug which could corrupt database.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.20:
+
+* Fixed bug which ran old (/var/adm/dpkg) postinst scripts.
+* Fixed dpkg usage message which claimed -i => both --install & --info.
+* Use Colin Plumb's MD5 code - faster, and better copyright.
+* Manpages: dpkg-deb(8), deb-control(5), deb(5) - thanks to Raul
+  Deluth Miller.  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!  This will result in complete removal of packages
+        when --remove is called.  dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems
+        with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which
+        will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time.
+
+        * deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name.
+
+Tue Oct  4 12:27:10 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+        * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): When a list file cannot be
+        opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
+
+        * deb/util.c (return_info): When a control file cannot be opened,
+        silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
+
+        * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Exit 0 if the regular expression is
+        matched and 1 if it is not.
+
+Mon Oct  3 18:38:53 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+        * dpkg.pl: New file.  Replaces dpkg.sh.
+
+        * deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'.
+
+        * deb/build.c (pkg_build): `--build' is less verbose, instead
+        letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
+
+        * deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto.
+
+        * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto.
+
+        * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto.
+
+        * deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose,
+        instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
+        The ``Description:'' label has been removed.
+
+        * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose,
+        instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
+        The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer
+        information.
+
+Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+        * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' now reports the
+        version number of dpkg if no argument is specified.
+
+Thu Sep  1 13:31:37 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+        * dpkg 0.93.7 released.
+
+        * deb/build.c (pkg_build): check status and exit if non-zero.
+
+        * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): ditto.
+
+        * deb/install.c (archive_extract): ditto.
+
+Thu Sep  1 13:20:08 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+        * deb/version.c (pkg_version): indent to the same point as
+        pkg_describe.
+
+Thu Sep  1 12:21:11 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+        * Makefile.in (dist): added debian.rules binary, source and
+        dist targets to make final distribution easier to make.
+        (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
+
+        * deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
+
+        * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters
+        for the package name in the output.
+        (pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for
+        the front-end to parse the output.
+        (pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description
+        with '\0'.
+
+        * deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to
+        ensure that permissions are preserved.
+
+Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+        * dpkg 0.93.6 released.
+
+        * deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is
+        true!
+
+Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+        * dpkg 0.93.5 released.
+
+        * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents
+        into function pkg_contents.
+
+        * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so
+        that symbolic links are recognized.
+        (pkg_contents): print the usual `<path> -> <link_to>' now that we
+        recognize symbolic links.
+
+        * deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed
+        information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory
+        in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do.
+
+Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+        * lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed
+        area.
+        (mk_mode_string): ditto.
+
+        * dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a
+        uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation.
+
+        * dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during
+        package removal.
+
+        * dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure.
+
+        * deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and
+        is a Debian archive before doing anything.
+
+        * deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and
+        is a Debian archive before doing anything.
+
+        * deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done.
+
+        * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that
+        --remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a
+        directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic
+        link never being removed at all.
+
+ChangeLog begins Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 for dpkg 0.93.5.
