alien (6.03hamm2) frozen; urgency=low

  * Fixed a security hole in alien generated rpm files that had scripts in
    them, that could allow a user to clobber files on the filesystem. Any
    such alien generated rpm files currently in existence already contain
    this bug, so be careful with them. Such files should be rare, they have
    to be generated by "alien --to-rpm --scripts", however to prevent the
    generation of any more, it's important that this version of alien makes
    its way into debian 2.0.
  * Also, fixed --scripts, --single, and --description, all three of which
    have been broken since alien 6.0.
  * It used to be that only shell scripts could be converted to rpm format,
    because of a stupid bug. Fixed.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Thu,  9 Apr 1998 19:03:38 -0700

alien (6.00) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed the module interface to be much cleaner. Probably broke many
    things in the process.
  * use strict throughout.
  * It is now possible to do multiple conversions with a single run of
    alien.
  * Reworked the rules file used to convert to a debian package so it uses
    debhelper. Alien no longer uses debstd at all. Adjusted dependancies
    accordingly.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sun,  8 Mar 1998 16:22:50 -0800

alien (5.21) unstable; urgency=low

  * Updated standards-version.
  * Fixed how it handles symlinks so the kernel 2.1.8x symlink bug doesn't
    prevent the package from building, by using hardlinks instead.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Mon,  9 Feb 1998 13:39:49 -0800

alien (5.20) unstable; urgency=low

  * added --description= flag, that lets the description of slackware
    packages be set.
  * Put packages converted to .deb format into a section called "alien".
  * s/kite.ml.org/kitenet.net/g

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sun, 23 Nov 1997 18:05:14 -0500

alien (5.19) unstable; urgency=low

  * Applied fix to preserve modification time when converting from rpm

  * Modified lsm to place alien into /pub/Linux/utils/packages.
  * Added md5sums file back in.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Mon, 20 Oct 1997 22:30:29 -0400

alien (5.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use debhelper to build alien (still uses debstd to convert packages).
  * Use dpkg-deb if available, instead of using ar. This fixes #12318: alien 
    can now handle old format deb files.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sat, 27 Sep 1997 15:52:08 -0400

alien (5.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added version info to filename of generated .tgz files.
  * Added --keep-version flag, which makes alien not increment the 
    release number/debian version number.
  * Man page fixups.
  * Fixes for epochs (for now, just remove epochs, since rpm cannot handle
    them.)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Fri, 12 Sep 1997 13:08:03 -0400

alien (5.16) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed binary-indep target.

alien (5.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Reccommend rpm >= 2.4.4-2, so noarch works, and /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/
    and /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/{noarch,<arch>} exist. Fixes #12220 and #12218.
  * Escape out variables in m// and s/// operators, fixes Bug #12219.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Fri, 22 Aug 1997 12:31:06 -0400

alien (5.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Preliminary support for converting install scripts with the --scripts

    Fakeroot and sudo fixes (#11325).

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sat, 26 Jul 1997 21:24:49 -0400

  * Added noarch support into alien.
  * Changed rpm package to noarch version.
  * Other fixes to spec file.
  * Routine update of debian/rules:
    Only run sudo when really necessary - makes fakeroot work.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Wed,  9 Jul 1997 20:58:56 -0400

alien (5.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed an error in rpm package - all symlinks were being omitted from the
    package.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Thu, 26 Jun 1997 18:23:53 -0400

alien (5.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed stupid ugly bug in last version. "=~ tr" and "= ~tr" are very
    different things!
  * Reorganized some of the code.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Mon, 23 Jun 1997 11:57:38 -0400

alien (5.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Rpm doesn't like version numbers that contain dashes, so change to
    underscores when converting to rpm. Thanks to Arne Elofsson.
  * Added some examples to the man page.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sun, 22 Jun 1997 23:05:51 -0400

alien (5.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use installpkg to install slackware packages.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Tue,  3 Jun 1997 17:55:51 -0400

alien (5.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * For slackware systems: added docs to README about alien-extra slackware
    package.
  * For redhat systems: include CHANGES, COPYING, lsm file in alien.rpm.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Mon,  2 Jun 1997 13:06:40 -0400

alien (5.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added some more documentation and warnings about file ownerships getting
    screwed up if you run alien as non-root.
  * Added basic support for converting to Slackware tgz format. Mostly 
    untested. I confess, I did this just to simplify the documentation of 
    what alien can do. It was only 10 lines of code to add this, anyway. :-)
  * Had a hard drive crash and reassembled this package from bits and
    pieces. Hope it's not broken..

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sat, 31 May 1997 17:31:26 -0400

alien (5.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed a bug that occurred if the full name field in the password file
    was empty, and ypmatch was installed.
  * Fixed another bug, that occurred if NIS is actually being used, where
    alien hung forever.
  * For non-debian systems, fix upgrades.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Mon, 26 May 1997 20:01:03 -0400

alien (5.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * For non-debian systems: falls back to the hostname if /etc/mailname
    isn't set

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sun, 25 May 1997 19:50:07 -0400

alien (5.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Turns out alien has been broken for processing slackware packages since
    version 3.0. It was leaving an /install directory behind. Fixed this.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Tue, 20 May 1997 21:10:50 -0400

alien (5.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added partial support for relocatable packages: DEFAULTPREFIX is
    examined, and if set, a subdirectory by the same name is created in the 
    build directory of the package. This means relocatable packages end up
    in a sane location, not scattered in the root directory as they were
    previously.
  * Smarter guessing of patch file name to use, now looks at version number
    and revision number if neccessary.
  * Added a patch file for applix 4.3 (and one for the applix-english package).

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Thu, 15 May 1997 18:35:46 -0400

alien (5.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added some cautions to man page about not using alien to replace
    important packages.
  * This version will be released to the linux community at large, not just
    debian.
  * Added a README file.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Wed, 7 May 1997 16:02:53 -0400

alien (4.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed a bug that made alien choke on packages that had 0 for their
    release or version number.
  * Removed obsolete alien.sh from the source package.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Wed, 7 May 1997 15:17:33 -0400

alien (4.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * When installing deb file, alien will use --no-force-overwrite
    The idea behind this is to make it difficult to trash your debian system
    by installing alien packages that overwrite files in it. This only works 
    if you use alien --install, not if you install the resulting .deb file by
    hand. This is a temporary fix until dpkg has --force-overwrite turned
    off by default.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Wed, 16 Apr 1997 17:03:27 -0400

alien (4.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * If a package has underscores in it's name and is being converted to deb
    format, change the underscores to dashes. Thanks to  
    Robert Coie <rac@mata.intrigue.com>
  * Strip out any other disallowed characters in package name when
    converting to deb.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Fri, 4 Apr 1997 20:12:07 -0500

alien (4.00) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added support for converting deb to rpm, based on the "martian" program
    by Randolph Chung <rc42@cornell.edu>.
  * Huge reorganization, rewrite, and code cleanup.
  * As a side effect of the above, alien can also convert tgz into rpm now.
  * Use rpm -qcp to list conffiles from rpm files.
  * Reworked how conffiles are found from tar files.
  * Removed --noinstall option, changed alien to default to not installing
    generated packages, added --install option to make it install packages.
  * Removed --nopatch/--auto option, and changed patch lookup behavior. See
    the man page for an explination of the new behavior.
  * Now Recommends: dpkg-dev and make and Suggests: patch
  * Dropped feature of making slackware package install scripts into
    postinst. If there is any demand, I'll try to work this back into the
    program.
  * Rewrote most of the man page.
  * Fixed the version number so there are two digets in the minor revision 
    number.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sat, 29 Mar 1997 21:49:30 -0500

alien (3.2) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed bug that was preventing alien from figuring out the version number
    of a tar file. (#8284)
  * Man page fixes, related to #8284.
  * Fixed a bug, present since 3.0, which was messing up conffile detection.
  * Removed README.debian. (It just pointed users to the man page, which is
    rather pointless.)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Mon, 24 Mar 1997 14:03:04 -0500

alien (3.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Force package names to lowercase.

  * Command line options can be specified in any order.
  * -ppatch will no longer work. use --patch=<patchfile> instead.
  * Improved usage help.
  * Include extended description from rpm, if available.
  * Fixed a bug with descriptions/summaries/changelogs/copyrights on rpms
    that contained the '/' character crashing alien.
  * Increment revision number of rpms when they are alianized.
  * Recommends: cpio becuase it is needed for rpm2cpio extraction.
  * Patch files do not have to be compressed.
  * Routine update of debian/rules:
    Clean up junk files in subdirs.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Fri, 7 Mar 1997 16:08:02 -0500

alien (2.82) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use CHANGELOGTEXT, not CHANGELOG, when querying rpm files for
    changelogs. Fixes bug #7445.
  * Modification to work with rpm verison 2.3.7. This breaks compatability
    with previous versions of rpm. Modified control file to reflect this.

  * Added a patch file for Applixware.
  * I'm looking for patch files for other commercial software, to add to the
    package. If you own commerical linux software and would like to
    contribute a patch, please contact me.

  * Generated debian/rules files will no longer pass package name to debstd
    (And neither does the debian/rules file for this package.)
  * Added -s switch for low disk space situations.
  * Added -i switch to build a package but not install it.
  * Added long options (--option), as I can never remember the short ones.
  * Fixed bug in guessing name of patch file to use.
  * Fixed bug that would not let you specify a patch file in the current
    directory, or a relative path to a patch file.
  * Don't use /etc/rpmrc as an indiciation of whether rpm is present, as 
    this is a conffile, and might be deleted. Test for actual rpm binary.
  * More friendly error message if patch file is not found, suggesting that
    you try -n option.
  * Rewrote the code that figures out information about the rpm files so it
    uses rpm --queryformat to determine everything.
  * If a rpm has a changelog, add it to the end of debian/changelog.
  * Add summary to the Description: field of generated control files.
  * Add info from a rpm's copyright field to to the copyright file.

    fly from files names subpackage.filename (if such files exist) to comply
