dpkg-repack (1.47) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Switch to Standard-Version 4.5.1 (no changed needed).
  * Switch to debhelper compatibility level 13.
  * Switch to the dh sequencer.
  * Run the autopkgtest from within the autopkgtest temporary directory.
  * Use AUTOPKGTEST_TMP instead of deprecated ADTTMP.
  * Do not make missing conffiles a fatal error. Closes: #947951
  * When catching errors during package processing, print them.

 -- Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>  Fri, 25 Dec 2020 14:07:59 +0100

dpkg-repack (1.46) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Bump Standard-Version to 4.4.1 (no changed needed).
  * Switch from debian/compat to debhelper-compat in Build-Depends.
  * Switch to debhelper compatibility level 12.
  * Remove dpkg-dev Build-Dpends, satisfied in oldstable.
  * Remove Documentation::RequirePodLinksIncludeText perlcritic suppression.
    The test was bogus and has now been removed from perlcritic.
  * Configure Getopt::Long with «posix_default bundling_values no_ignore_case».
  * Remove backwards compatibility workaround for libdpkg-perl < 1.18.2,
    satisfied in oldstable.
  * Surround replacement names with <> in --help output.
  * Refactor package archival into a new Archive_Package() function.
  * Use a block eval to trap errors from Archive_Package(), so that we will
    detect any errors not just the ones coming from Error() calls.
  * Switch SafeSystem to use Dpkg::IPC::spawn().
  * Switch to Dpkg::ErrorHandling reporting functions. We do not need the
    ad-hoc implementations anymore for problem reporting, and can use the
    ones in libdpkg-perl. Even though they are private, because this is a
    sibling project, we can cope with the lack of interface guarantees.
  * Update copyright years.
  * Add lintian override for dpkg internal database usage false positive.

 -- Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>  Sat, 19 Oct 2019 04:51:29 +0200

dpkg-repack (1.45) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Update copyright years.
  * Remove unused last argument from SafeSystem() function.
  * Use the .. operator instead of a C-style for loop.
  * Remove trailing whitespace.

 -- Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>  Sat, 02 Mar 2019 00:41:43 +0100

dpkg-repack (1.44) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Spelling fixes. Thanks to Josh Soref <jsoref@gmail.com>.
  * Line-wrap dependency fields.
  * Bump Standard-Version to 4.1.5 (no changed needed).
  * Bump debhelper compatibility to level 10.
  * Use the provided pkgname when calling dpkg commands, instead of partially
    reconstructing it from metadata, as we might end up not matching the same
    arch-qualifying the user specified. Closes: #870724
  * Use Dpkg::IPC instead of qx() or open() subcommand pipe support. This will
    give more accurate error messages and will check all function return codes
    involved.
  * Namespace debhelper files with package names.
  * Update Vcs URLs to point to the new hosting site.
  * Move author information in man page from a dedicated section into a proper
    copyright and license header.
  * Rewrite man page from groff to POD.
  * Set Rules-Requires-Root to no.

dpkg-repack (1.42) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Use https for the debian/copyright Format URL.
  * Remove ancient versioned Build-Depends on dpkg.
  * Do not add spurious newlines to the binary control file.
  * Ignore case when comparing all field names, although «dpkg -s» already
    normalizes them for known ones.
  * Use a proper non-deterministic temporary directory per package. This fixes
    a possible security issue, and using --generate with multiple packages.
  * Include the package name in the temporary directory, so that they
    are easier to distinguish when operating on multiple packages with
    --generate.
  * Check immediately if we cannot get any package control information.
  * Switch to use Dpkg::Control to handle the control data. Add a dependency
    on libdpkg-perl.
  * Add basic autopkgtest test cases.
  * When using --generate, also print the error summary if the tree might
    be broken due to processing errors.
  * Automatically use fakeroot if available and not running as root.
  * Add fakeroot to a Suggests field.
  * Rename packagename to package-name in --help output.
  * Remove duplicated program name prefix in generate Info message.
    Thanks to Brian Beffa <brbsix@gmail.com>.
  * Remove duplicated newline in Warn message.
    Thanks to Brian Beffa <brbsix@gmail.com>.

    Thanks to Brian Beffa <brbsix@gmail.com>.
  * Add a --tag option to select what to mark as being repackaged.
    Based on a patch by Brian Beffa <brbsix@gmail.com>. Closes: #788628
  * Add a --tag value to mark the package version as repackaged.
    Closes: #788627
  * Switch git repository URLs from git:// to https:// in README and
    debian/control Vcs-Git field.
  * Bump Standard-Version to 3.9.7 (no changed needed).

      now part of the dpkg suite.
    - Spell package name with a dash.
  * Add references to external man pages, and append the section number to
    program references.
  * Use low-precedence operators for error handling constructs.
  * Use scalar variables instead of barewords for filehandles.
  * Use three-form open call.

    Thanks, Guillem Jover
  * Use dpkg-deb directly instead of indirectly through the dpkg frontend

  * Misc man page fixes.
    Thanks, Guillem Jover

dpkg-repack (1.37) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix generation of conffiles list file. For some reason dpkg-query
    does not list this file, so it has to be generated when there's a
    Conffiles stanza in the package status. Closes: #651165
  * Remove the Conffiles stanza from the generated package's control file;
    dpkg ignores it anyway.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:20:13 -0400

dpkg-repack (1.29) unstable; urgency=low

  * Apparently knoppix, dpkg -L does not individually list all parent
    directories of files in a package. So don't rely on the parent directories
    always having been made, and create any that are missing.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 23 Mar 2008 20:33:14 -0400

dpkg-repack (1.21) unstable; urgency=low

  * chown conffiles and control after writing them, necessary so that in
    fakeroot -u these files are not recorded as owned by the user doing the
    packing. Closes: #320233

dpkg-repack (1.20) unstable; urgency=low

    in version 0.21, I don't know.

dpkg-repack (1.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * fakeroot's new -u flag should be used if using dpkg-repack with fakeroot.
    Otherwise permissions of non-root-owned files can be messed up. Warn about
    this if -u is not used.
  * Other minor changes.

    root. Closes: #191323

dpkg-repack (1.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Removed more historical cautions in the man page.
  * Dragged screaming and kicking into the world of perl5. Now -w and use
    strict safe; lots of cleanups. Still needs a bit of a rewrite.
  * Can repack multiple packages in sequence now.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 17 Dec 1999 19:00:07 -0800

dpkg-repack (1.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Build deps.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat,  4 Dec 1999 00:52:53 -0800

dpkg-repack (1.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * FHS
  * Integrated into my cvs build system.
  * It occurs to me that this is a pretty stable package, so I
    bumped the version number to 1.0.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 10 Sep 1999 21:19:21 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.25) unstable; urgency=low

  * Depend on gcc, because it uses dpkg --build which brain-deadly requires
    dpkg be present (and of course dpkg doesn't depend on gcc..)
    (Closes: #40985)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu,  8 Jul 1999 11:20:26 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.24) unstable; urgency=low

  * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
    seems to make sense for the transition.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun,  4 Jul 1999 10:57:57 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.23) unstable; urgency=low

  * Quote another regexp (#39955).

dpkg-repack (0.22) unstable; urgency=low

dpkg-repack (0.20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed how I disable locales when running dpkg -l - now set LC_ALL=C.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 17 Jun 1998 12:27:16 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.19) unstable; urgency=low

  * Version 0.16 broke repacking packages that had diverted files in them,
    because of how dpkg -L shows that info. (#23339). It turns out that
    older versions of dpkg-repack packed up not the original file, but the
    file that was diverted to replace it. I've decided that is incorrect
    behavior, and changed it so if there is a diversion, the original file is
    placed in the repacked package.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 13 Jun 1998 17:35:22 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * Removed some debugging output I accidentally put in the last version.
  * Works now for packages that have filenames with spaces in them (like
    maelstrom).
  * Changed the description to remove the "attempts to". It should always
    work. (heh)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 28 May 1998 06:14:27 -0400

dpkg-repack (0.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * Uses dpkg for querying the status file and getting the file list, rather
    than doing it by hand. However, dpkg-repack still accesses the dpkg
    database directly, because it copies maintainer scripts, etc, from
    there. There is no way to get that information via dpkg.
  * Fixed  bug #22603 - a failure when eg. /usr is a symlink.
    .
    If the package contains a file, that locally looks like a symlink
    pointing to a directory that is not in the package, then change it to a
    real directory in the repacked package. This assumes that in this case,
    the symlink was a local change (eg, /usr is a symlink).
    .
    However, if the directory in question contains no files in the filelist
    for this package, don't do that, just preserve the symlink in the repacked
    package. This handles the case where a package contains a symlink to a
    directory elsewhere.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 26 May 1998 07:02:14 -0400

dpkg-repack (0.16) frozen unstable; urgency=low

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon,  9 Feb 1998 12:54:00 -0800

dpkg-repack (0.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Depend on perl 5.004 or greater (For Getopt::Long).

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 17 Jan 1998 02:12:58 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added option to make it build a debian package of a different
    architecture than the default. (#17173)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 16 Jan 1998 11:18:35 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix bug #17053, the first package listed in the status file can be
    repacked now.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 13 Jan 1998 14:16:17 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Don't include file list file in package. (Removes "contained list as info
    file" error from dpkg when you install dpkg-repacked packages.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 27 Nov 1997 23:26:07 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Force the umask to 022 (#14516).
  * Use debhelper.
  * Be a bit more positive that the package will work in the description,
    since it seems to have worked pretty much ok for a year.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue,  4 Nov 1997 01:08:39 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Routine update of debian/rules:
    Fixed binary-indep target.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu,  4 Sep 1997 19:30:13 -0400

dpkg-repack (0.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Moved it into unstable.
  * Changed the program so it puts its temporary directory and the result
    .deb file into the current directory, instead of /tmp. This is the same
    as alien works, and I made this change mainly so you can repack some
    large package on a spare partition when it won't fit on the partition
    that contains /tmp.
  * Added --root=<dir> option, to make it operate on the filesystem rooted at
    <dir>.
  * Remove temporary directory when done.
  * Man page fixes.
  * Added proper error trapping and handling.
  * Added progress messages.
  * Routine update of debian/rules:
    Run dpkg-gencontrol after debstd, and delete substvars during clean.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 26 Jun 1997 18:54:40 -0400

    Run dpkg-gencontrol after debstd, and delete substvars during clean.

  * Oops! This package was not meant to be in unstable. It's supposed to be
    in experimental.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 20 Mar 1997 01:59:04 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use /var/lib/dpkg/status, not /var/lib/dpkg/available.

    Clean up junk files in subdirs.
