emacsen-common (2.0.8) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Require add-on packages to depend on emacsen-common >= 2.0.8.  This
    should be simpler and safer, and emacsen-common is only ~140k, which
    shouldn't be too big a burden.

    One specific problem this solves is the handling of
    /var/lib/emacsen-common when emacsen-common is purged -- in particular
    /var/lib/emacsen-common/state/package/installed/*.  Without the
    dependency, emacsen-common can't remove the tree without clobbering
    the state for every add-on, but if emacsen-common can't remove it, who
    can?

    This release changes the following requirements for add-on packages
    (see debian-emacs-policy for the details):

      - They must now depend on emacsen-common >= 2.0.8.
      - They don't need to conflict with emacsen-common anymore.
      - They don't need to guard their calls to emacs-install-package.
      - They don't need to guard their calls to emacs-remove-package.
      - They should no longer manage their package/installed/ file directly.

    In addition emacsen flavor packages should now depend on
    emacsen-common >= 2.0.8.

  * emacs-package-install: don't try to validate the package during the preinst.
    The package files that we're looking for won't be available.
    Thanks to Tatsuya Kinoshita <tats@vega.ocn.ne.jp> for the report.
    (Closes: 736062)

  * emacs-package-remove: remove unused context variable.

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Wed, 21 May 2014 15:19:38 -0500

emacsen-common (2.0.7) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix typo; add missing "-m" to mkdir call in postinst and policy.
    Thanks to Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <s.L-H@gmx.de> for the report.
    (Closes: 735155)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Mon, 13 Jan 2014 11:00:10 -0600

emacsen-common (2.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Don't use given/when syntax in emacs-install and
    emacs-package-install.  It's experimental and produces warnings with
    Perl 5.18.  Thanks to Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org> for the
    report.  (Closes: 723157)

  * sample-package-remove-foo: don't fail if elc_dir is already gone.
    Thanks to Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au> for the suggestion.
    (Closes: 711915)

  * Complain loudly if an add-on package appears to be broken.  Add
    validate_add_on_pkg() to verify that an add-on package's invocations
    match its "style", and call it from emacs-package-install and
    emacs-package-remove.

  * Ensure there are no duplicates in get_installed_add_on_packages()
    result.

  * Check dpkg exit status when reading package status.

  * emacs-install: mark emacsen flavor available before handling all the
    add-ons.

  * Check for unlink errors when handling emacsen flavor installed state
    file.

  * emacs-install/emacs-remove: stop messing with package installed state
    files.  That was just wrong -- the installed state file only indicates
    that a package is ready to go (i.e. it's safe to start calling the
    install/remove scripts).  It has nothing to do with emacsen flavors.

  * emacs-install/emacs-remove: treat each add-on as old/new case-by-case.
    Whether or not an add-on package is old or new is a property of the
    package itself.  The old or new status of the emacsen flavor is
    irrelevant.

  * Check for unlink errors when handling an add-on's installed state
    file.

  * Fix handling of add-on package installed state file.  Mark an add-on
    package as ready (installed) sooner, and wait until after all of the
    relevant removals before marking an add-on as unavailable.  Note that
    the state file is only intended to indicate that the package is ready
    for processing by emacsen-common.

  * debian-emacs-policy: require add-on postinst/prerm to handle state
    directly.  Add-on packages must now maintain their installed/<package>
    file directly from their postinst/prerm scripts.  This should fix a
    race whenever emacsen-common and an add-on package are being installed
    at the same time (i.e. perhaps via "apt-get install add-on emacs24").
    If the add-on's postinst goes first, its emacsen install script won't
    be run.

  * debian-emacs-policy: change conflicts requirement from "<" to "<<".

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Sat, 11 Jan 2014 20:22:23 -0600

emacsen-common (2.0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Don't ignore dependency install scripts in emacs-package-install.  The
    previous code didn't actually update the script name properly in the
    loop where it was trying to install all of an add-on package's
    dependencies.  As a result, none of the dependencies' install scripts
    were actually invoked. Thanks to Sébastien Villemot
    <sebastien@debian.org> for tracking down the problem, and providing
    the patch. (closes: #693472)

  * Invoke each add-on install script correctly as new-style or old-style.
    Previously, emacs-package-install would invoke all of the add-on
    install scripts in a dependency chain as either old-style or
    new-style, based solely on whether or not the package that triggered
    the install was old-style or new-style.  Now it should invoke each
    package's install script based on whether the package itself is
    new-style or old-style, as determined by the presence or absence of
    the policy-required /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/compat/PACKAGE
    file.  Thanks to Sébastien Villemot <sebastien@debian.org> for the
    report.  (closes: #693472)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Wed, 12 Dec 2012 20:15:05 -0600

emacsen-common (2.0.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Don't use the obsolete calc package as a policy example.
    Thanks to "A. N. Other" <a.n.other.debian@gmail.com> for the report.
    (closes: #674181)

  * Don't override /usr/local/* load-path entries in debian-run-directories.
    Previously, debian-run-directories would prepend all of the add-on
    package paths to load-path, which meant that (in violation of Debian
    policy) /usr/local wouldn't preceed the other entries.
    Thanks to Hendrik Tews <hendrik@askra.de> for the report and Kevin
    Ryde <user42@zip.com.au> for an initial suggested patch -- posted to
    #454778. (closes: #676424)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:03:18 -0600

emacsen-common (2.0.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move #DEBHEPLER# up in the postinst to avoid an emacs complaint about
    a missing /usr/local/emacs/site-lisp during the emacsen-common package
    install script.

  * Report something like "ERROR: install script from foo package failed"
    to more clearly indicate the cause of an install/remove failure.

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Tue, 22 May 2012 22:53:55 -0500

emacsen-common (2.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Install usr/local/emacs/site-lisp in the right place so debhelper will
    handle it.  Thanks to Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.net> for the
    report. (Closes: #672878)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Mon, 14 May 2012 19:40:05 -0500

emacsen-common (2.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add debian-emacs-policy requirement that add-on packages conflict with
    emacsen-common < 2.0.0.

  * Put emacsen-commmon install/remove scripts in the correct location.
    Thanks to Adam Borowski <kilobyte@angband.pl> and Ondřej Surý
    <ondrej@debian.org> for the report. (Closes: #672874)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Mon, 14 May 2012 19:15:57 -0500

emacsen-common (2.0.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove the requirement that add-on packages depend on emacsen or
    emacsen-common.  This should eliminate the need for many of the
    trivial Debian foo-el packages, but before the dependencies can be
    removed, an add-on package must be changed to follow the updated
    debian-emacs-policy.

  * Treat the failure of any add-on package install or remove script as a
    fatal error.  Otherwise inter-add-on package dependencies won't be
    respected.

  * Migrate to debhelper.

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Sun, 13 May 2012 16:38:30 -0500

emacsen-common (1.4.23) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove vestigal dependency on bsdmainutils.  Thanks to Sven Joachim
    <svenjoac@gmx.de> for the report. (Closes: #480894)

  * Require add-on packages to create .el symlinks alongside .elc files.
    Update debian-emacs-policy to require add-on packages to install a .el
    symlink alongside each compiled .elc file.  Thanks to "Karl
    M. Hegbloom" <karlheg@microsharp.com> for the original
    report. (Closes: #122444)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:55:07 -0600

emacsen-common (1.4.22) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Call mapc instead of mapcar in debian-startup.el since mapcar was only
    being called for side-effects.  Thanks to "Trent W. Buck"
    <trentbuck@gmail.com> for the report. (closes: 530961)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Wed, 01 Dec 2010 21:46:10 -0600

emacsen-common (1.4.21) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Don't print a message if /etc/mailname doesn't exist.  Thanks to Josh
    Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> for the report. (closes: 427757)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Tue, 30 Nov 2010 17:57:47 -0600

emacsen-common (1.4.20) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Update debian-emacs-policy to correctly reflect current usage.

  * Don't call install-info to remove old emacs entry in the postinst.
    It's been many years since the last package created that entry.
    Thanks to Marco Nenciarini <mnencia@debian.org> for the
    report. (closes: 604164)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Mon, 29 Nov 2010 21:26:02 -0600

emacsen-common (1.4.19) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move the sample package install/remove scripts from
    debian-emacs-policy to the files sample-package-install-foo and
    sample-package-remove-foo in /usr/share/doc/emacsen-common.

  * Fix some suspicious code in the sample package install/remove scripts.
    Thanks to Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>. (closes: 424940)

  * Update debian-file->string to use insert-file-contents-literally.
    Change gnus-nntpserver-file defvar to setq.  Thanks to Jari Aalto
    <jari.aalto@poboxes.com>. (closes: 269155)

  * Always call debian-run-directories.  Previously a bug would prevent it
    from running if debian-emacs-flavor wasn't set.  Thanks to Francesco
    Potorti` <pot@gnu.org> and Andrew Kemp <ajwk@pell.uklinux.net>.
    (closes: 222518, 136779)

  * Thanks to Agustin Martin Domingo <agmartin@debian.org> for collecting
    and incorporating many of the fixes in the previous release, this
    release, and probably the next several releases into his git
    repository.  That work is being used heavily as a reference during
    these updates.

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Sun, 17 May 2009 15:42:24 -0700

emacsen-common (1.4.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add --no-site-file and --no-init-file for the compilation of
    emacsen-common's .elc files.  Those options should be fine for
    emacsen-common itself right now.  Thanks to Peter S Galbraith
    <psg@debian.org>.  (closes: 132355)

  * Fix minor documentation bug.  Thanks to Roland Stigge
    <stigge@antcom.de>. (closes: 208414)

  * Print the error message when debian-run-directories encounters an
    error while loading a file.  Thanks to Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>.
    (closes: 329030)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Sun, 10 May 2009 20:52:52 -0700

emacsen-common (1.4.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove "Conflicts: emacs".  If I recall correctly, this dates back to
    a time when the Emacs binary package was just named "emacs"
    (i.e. unversioned), and before the creation of emacsen-common and the
    Debian Emacs Policy.  The Conflicts should be safe to remove now, and
    the removal will allow us to create a new emacs-defaults source
    package (a la gcc-defaults) that will produce an emacs package that
    always depends on the current "standard" version of Emacs
    (i.e. emacs21, emacs22, etc.).
  * Update to Standards-Version to 3.6.2.

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Thu,  5 Jan 2006 18:10:56 -0800

emacsen-common (1.4.16) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix sarge RC bug.  Alter debian-pkg-add-load-path-item to handle nil
    in load-path.  Thanks to Manoj Srivastava.  (closes: 270388)
  * Include section and priorty in dpkg-gencontrol generated control file.
    (closes: 288752)
  * Don't create /usr/doc/ symlinks anymore.
  * Remove pause in 00debian-vars.el when there is no /etc/mailname.  The
    message will always be available in *Messages*.  The real fix for this
    may involve bug 149924.  (closes: 115116)
  * Ignore *~ when generating package list.  Eventually we may do
    something more like run-parts, but this is at least an improvement.
    (ref: #29494)
  * Make the package description a bit more elaborate.  (closes: 209469)
  * Fix debian-emacs-policy typo.  (closes: 175779)

 -- Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org>  Thu, 27 Jan 2005 12:27:09 -0600

emacsen-common (1.4.15) unstable; urgency=low

  * make /etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el a conffile as per Debian
    policy. (closes: Bug#132842)
  * don't use dolist (not defined everywhere by default).
    (closes: Bug#132352)
  * document debian-pkg-add-load-path-item better and fix to actually
    modify load-path. (closes: Bug#134464)
  * make debian-unique-strings iterative since elisp isn't as recursion
    friendly as we might like. (closes: Bug#131803)
  * for now, issue a descriptive error message if emacsen-common is used
    before it's configured.

  * policy(9): /usr/local/share/emacs/<flavor>/site-lisp should not exist.
  * policy(9): /usr/share/emacs/<upstream>/site-lisp should not exist.
  * policy(9): all emacsen must have
    /usr/share/emacsen-common/mark-end-local in their load-path in the
    right place.
  * policy(9): add-on packages must use debian-pkg-add-load-path-item to
    augment the load-path now. (closes: #122877)

  * Fix tmpfile usage. (closes: #26601, #45140)
  * Move doc files to /usr/share/doc (closes: #91457, #72493)
  * Remove execute permission from conffiles file. (closes: #61303)
  * Updated policy concerning the long-standing problem with version
    specific site-lisp dirs.  New policy, once adopted should eliminate
    the cruft problem.

emacsen-common (1.4.12) unstable frozen; urgency=low

  * Emergency changes to startup policy.  We're reverting for now to the
    old behavior because the new way breaks too many things, and we need
    to release.  Please see debian-emacs-policy's bits about
    debian-emacs-flavor for details, and sorry for the short notice.

emacsen-common (1.4.11) unstable frozen; urgency=low

  * Upload to frozen to match emacs20 bugfix upload for frozen.  Without
    this the frozen emacs20 is uninstallable. (Closes: Bug#64648)
  * Hopefully accomodate bug in xemacs packages with strange hack.  This
    will work around the current problem, but xemacs still needs some
    fixing. (Closes: Bug#61161  Bug#61080 Bug#61110 Bug#61133 Bug#61157) 
  * Update debian-emacs-policy to be stricter about startup behaviors and
    to more clearly indicate what I really meant.  Since no one's
    responded to my proposal on debian-emacsen, I guess there are no
    objections :> Feel free to bring this up later if you have a
    problem...

emacsen-common (1.4.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Moved debian-emacs-flavor here from emacs20.  Other emacsen
    maintainers note, you should not declare this in your packages
    anymore.  It is now set by debian-startup automatically from its
    argument.  See debian-emacs-policy for details.
  * Fix problem in args to install-info in postinst. (Closes: Bug#25196)
  * Get /usr/local/... permissions right. (Closes: Bug#25913)
  * Fix bashism in postrm. (Closes: Bug#41967 Bug#50674)
  * Remove symlinks from package so I can put it under CVS.
