flex (2.6.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Added get-orig-source target, and updated the watch file
* Bug fix: "flex FTCBFS: executes host architectue stage1flex during
build", thanks to Helmut Grohne (Closes: #833146). This reinstates
Helmut's original fix. There was a question about not using help2man
in the first place. I considered it; but upstream continues to use
help2man, including it in autoconf. I think Helmut's fix is elegant,
and saves work as flex's options change over time, and is a smaller
delta from upstream.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Tue, 13 Feb 2018 15:25:11 -0800
flex (2.6.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream version. Notable changes
+ a segfalt involving yyrestart(NULL) has been fixed
+ flex should now handle quoting when mixed with m4 processing correctly
+ flex handles `[[' and `]]' correctly
+ flex no longer generates non-ANSI code
+ more compilation warnings were squashed in generated scanners
+ prevented a buffer overflow that could occur when input buffers were
the exact wrong size
+ several bug fixes resolved problems introduced in recent flex
versions regarding processing of comments, literals and various
quoting scenarios.
+ If the path to m4 was sufficiently long, a buffer overflow could
occur. This has been resolved. The fix also removes dependence on
the constant PATH_MAX.
+ Some minor performance enhancements.
+ We honor user defined yy_* macros again. We are also more careful
to not leak macro definitions into header files.
+ A number of portability fixes were introduced so building flex is
more reliable on more platforms. Additionally, outdated function
calls were removed.
+ When building the flex executable itself, %# comments from
flex.skl are removed when generating the C source code array. This
reduces the size of flex.
+ Flex can be cross compiled.
* Bug fix: "comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions",
thanks to Frank Heckenbach. This should be fixed now. (Closes: #835542).
* Bug fix: "Please update homepage in package description", thanks to
Tim Ruehsen (Closes: #851675).

* New upstream version. The development of flex ias transitionaing to
github; updated the watch file.

flex (2.6.0-9) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated standards version to 3.9.7. No changes needed.
* Bug fix: "[src:flex] FTCBFS: runs host arch binaries during build",
thanks to Helmut Grohne. Make the tests use either the installed flex
or the newly built flex to generate test soureces, depending on
whether or not we are cross compiling. Also added a build depends flex <cross>
Hope this works. This has not broken the common case. (Closes: #762180).
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:26:17 -0800
flex (2.6.0-8) unstable; urgency=low
* Bug fix: "flex FTCBFS: runs tests even when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains
nocheck", thanks to Helmut Grohne. Added an AM_CONDITIONAL that tests
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS in configure.ac, and use that in
tests/Makefile.am. Seems to work fine. (Closes: #812659).
* Bug fix: "runs host arch binaries during build via help2man", thanks
to Helmut Grohne. The change from the previous patch is that the flex
binary now is created in ./src/ (Closes: #762180).
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Tue, 16 Feb 2016 21:55:51 -0800
flex (2.6.0-7) unstable; urgency=low
* Bug fix: "C++ style comment in C output", thanks to Tim Rühsen
So, when we applied the upstream patch, it only fixed the skeleton
file, flex.skl, and not the generated files skel.c and scan.c;. Added
a feature branch that fixes the generated files, the need for this
will go away with the next upstream release. I hope. For what it is
worth, the diff in upstream seems to be the same one that was in the
NMU; and I have no explanations for why the -6 would behave diferently
from the NMU. (Closes: #813256).
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sat, 13 Feb 2016 19:21:11 -0800
flex (2.6.0-6) unstable; urgency=low
* Back out the changes made to the experimental branch
* Set the libfl-dev package to be MA: same
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Tue, 09 Feb 2016 19:46:02 -0800
flex (2.6.0-5) experimental; urgency=low
* First cut at correcting multi-arch support. flex is MA: foreign, and
libfl-dev is MA: same. flex no longer automatically pulls in
libfl-dev, so at the very least packages using C++ lexers will need to
pull in libfl-dev in build depends.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 08 Feb 2016 08:26:24 -0800
flex (2.6.0-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Bug fix: "C++ style comment in C output", thanks to Tim Rühsen
There is a fix uploaded to deferred by Salvatore Bonaccorso
<carnil@debian.org>. I am uploading this fix instead, since this
variant has the same fix applied by a signed cherry pick from
upstream, which will make the upgrade to the next version somewhat
simpler. (Closes: #813256).
* Bug fix: "wrongly declares Multi-Arch:foreign", thanks to Helmut
Grohne. While we discuss the correct solution for this, I have removed
the MA package tags. I am not quite happy with the proposed solution
(swapping names of the packages seems icky, but I'll defer to the
experts if there is no better way) (Closes: #761449).
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Fri, 05 Feb 2016 15:41:03 -0800
flex (2.6.0-3) unstable; urgency=high
* Revert the help2man fix; it was creating errors in the diff.gz
file. We are now back to being mostly in sync with upstream.
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:12:03 -0800
flex (2.6.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Revert "[fix-off-by-one-error]: generatred line numbers are off by
one". This brings us in line with upstream; and our fix was not
working anyway. Unfortunately, this still does not resolve #729927.
* Bug fix: "runs host arch binaries during build via help2man", thanks
to Helmut Grohne (Closes: #762180).
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Mon, 25 Jan 2016 16:49:34 -0800
flex (2.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version i
* Updated Standards version to 3.9.6. No changes needed.
* Updated the VCS-Git field of the control file to use HTTPS transport

* Reverted to source format 1.0 , and use dgit
-- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org> Sat, 23 Jan 2016 20:11:32 -0800
flex (2.5.39-8) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a missing build depends on vm-super-minimal, reuired fro
building the pdf documentation, (Closes: #752151).
* Move flex.pdf to the flex-doc package. This makes it possible for the
flex package's contents to not change if texinfo is not installed,
e.g. in the stage1 build profile. Thanks to Peter Pentchev
<roam@ringlet.net>
* Move the flex-doc build dependencies to B-D-I. Move the TeX Live
dependencies to Build-Depends-Indep and only build the HTML and PDF
documentation if actually requested. This breaks a circular build
dependency by not requiring texlive for the build of the
arch-dependent flex binary packages. (Closes: #749344).
* Bug fix #752151: "pdfetex error about missing cm-super", thanks to
Helmut Grohne and Cyril Brulebois
* Bug fix: #749344" Allow bootstrapping without texlive and
dh-autoreconf", thanks to Peter Pentchev

flex (2.5.39-7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh-autoreconf already depends on all the autotools that it will
attempt to use to rebuild the package's build framework, so remove the
direct (and redundant) dependencies on the autotools
packages. Suggestion by Peter Pentchev (Closes: #749341).
* The patch also cleaned up the creation of examples and links for man
pages.
* Bug fix #749341: "Drop the autotools build dependencies, dh-autoreconf

flex (2.5.39-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Adapted patch from Matthias Klose to add pre-seeding of autoconf
values as paramaters, fixing cross builds. flex uses runtime checks
for configure tests, and preseeding allows cross build to succeed,

Langasek. Redid the patch to work with dh. (Closes: #611230).
* Updating to a new build system means that the changes made to the

* [d32c587]: [debiandir]: Regenerate autoconf files during
configuration Upstream has versions of autoconf files that are stuck
at the time of release. As newer versions of autoconf come out, and
these nerw versions support more architectures, porting to them
becomes harder if the package uses the now obsolete versionsof the
files. Flex packaging now begins to reate autoconf and automake as
real toolchain components, and re-creates the autoconf files at
build time, and removes them while cleaning up. This should help out
peopole on newly supported platforms.
* [0999f25]: [gcc-4-4-include-fix] Add missing #include cstdio for gcc-4.4

* [f6cc9ae] Narrow buffer size changes to just IA64
Increasing the buffer size on other architectures cause problems in
corner cases not caught by the test suite. So perhaps it is not better
to increase the buffer size unilatereally for all architectures, but
to just increase it for the architecture it is required on, namely,
IA64, and leave it unchanged on other architectures. This solution
should fix the new grave bugs, while not reopening the original but
that cause this change to be done in the first place.

* Bug fix: "debian dir contains *.so", thanks to Raphael Hertzog
This is a simple rname of a file used purely in packaging, and has low
risk, but would allow compiling the flex source package with squeeze's
packaging tools. (Closes: #485095).
* [88bb2fc] Fix generation of broken output on ia64 when input is piped in
On ia64, flex appears to generate a completely different (and broken)
output depending on whether the input file is specified using shell
redirection or via a pipe.
This was traced back commit 3971e1a917548977cff71418a7c3575ffbc9571f,
by Alex Nixon <alex.nixon@citrix.com>: VFS: increase pseudo-filesystem
block size to PAGE_SIZE. PAGE_SIZE on ia64 kernels is larger than most
architectures - 16K is what most distributions (including Debian)
use. An effect of the above changeset, as verified by strace, is that
the read() and write() system calls issued by flex on a pipe will use
this bigger size. fread() appears to be properly hiding the actual
read size and is returning 8192 byte buffers to flex upon request. I
verified by this by instrumenting YY_INPUT to compare the fread data
with the original input file.
Its probably useful to note that the corruption happening here is that
the last 382 lines of the input file is being prefixed to the output
file. The only differences in the remainder of the file are the #line
numbers. I've also found that bumping YY_READ_BUF_SIZE up to 16384
seems to workaround the problem - but that may just be putting it back
into hiding.
The tradeoff here is between correct operation, by making flex's
buffer at least as big as the system buffer -- and not bigger, so that
we do not waste memory. At this point, fixing the isue seems more
important than worrying that flex consumes and additional 8KB of
memory.
This fix unblocks RC bugs on other packages.

flex (2.5.33-6) unstable; urgency=low
* Starting with version 2.5.33-6 of flex we have started providing
a static library compiled with position independent code, namely,
libfl_pic.a. The problem is with packages that contain share
libraries with a flex scanner compiled in. Since flex generates code
that is not self contained, and the missing symbols live in
libfl.a. However, since linking a shared library with a object
containing non position independent code stopped working with gcc 4.1
(apparently, it was sheer luck that it worked at all). So now we also
provide libfl_pic.a for shared library packages to link with.
An alternative would have been to provide a full fledged
shared library, but that would have been a major break with upstream
and other distributions that also have flex, and would entail
creating new library and devel packages for flex, which is more work
that seems justified (considering that we would have to maintain the
fork, and keep track of any ABI changes, and all that).

yy_str, as stated in the declaration, so as to allow users access to
the string "str" in #defines. I am not completely happy with this fix,
since there are other variables that may also pollute the #define name
space, but going through and modifying them all would be a significant
departure from upstream code; and I'm going to wait until someone
complains. closes: Bug#198200
* Added a reference to flex-old in the package description, mentioning
the changes in this version of flex.
* Added a warning and a question in the preinst if upgrading from an old
version of flex.

flex (2.5.31-9) unstable; urgency=low
* Well, since removing stdint.h inclusion does not fix IA64 breakage,
and including the header since we need it does seem to be the right
thing to do, and it does closes: Bug#191168
* In filter.c, after a fork, we try to reinit the standard stream
pointers stdin, stdout, and stderr -- which is a bug, since the macros
stdin, stdout, and sterr may not be modifiable lvalues (C99 says they
nmeed not be modifuable). This is also pointless, since POSIX
guarantees that the child inherits the streams from the parent. There
are no test failures from thie fix. closes: Bug#194844
* Fixed the generation of non ansi function definiton macros to include
a \, so that the parameters do not default to int (they are actually
pointers to structs), which makes the test fail on machines where ints
and pointers are a different size. closes: Bug#191672

* Ensure that the man page gets to the right location.
closes: Bug#188751, Bug#188505
* Note that flex now requires m4
* The behaviour of flex has changed in the latest release, yes. This is
part of the gcc migration process; flex has been updated (the buggy,
rickety set of patches required to make it work with gcc was dumped in
favour of a well engineered upstream migration)
* As you may see, flex scanners have become reentrant, the c++ versions
are compatible with recent c++ compilers (conform to ANSI C++, gcc
3.2), supports bison variables yylval and yylloc. Some variables have
been renamed. Flex generates C99 defs now; see
YY_TRADITIONAL_FUNC_DEFS yylineno is present in all scanners. yylineno
is per-buffer in reentrant scanners. flex tries its best to output
only the relevant portions of the skeleton when generating a scanner,
thus avoiding as much conditional compilation as possible
* non ansi mode was broken (this only shows up on machines where
pointers and ints are not the same size). closes: Bug#188813

closes: Bug#173943, Bug#180051
* Fix broken printf format closes: Bug#174350
* The behaviour of flex was different based on what order options were
specified: option nomain before option noyywrap caused one set of
behaviours, reversing the order changes the behavious, since nomain
seemed to reset noyywrap. This was fixed in scanl. and initscan.c.

flex (2.5.4a-19) unstable; urgency=low
* For machines that do not use the GNU libc (and thus, does not have
gettext as part of the libc), flex failed to compile. The grep package
has a macro to handle exactly this situation, elegantly, which is
labelled as available for public use, in it's aclocal.m4 file. This
version of flex uses that. Many thanks to Joel Baker

* if a signal is delivered while the parser is in the read routine
(coded by flex), the result is flex reports and YY_FATAL_ERROR causing
plan to exit. The race condition appears much more frequently than
one might expect because plan spends a good deal of time in read
routine while gcc is preparing the input. I cleaned up another problem
case beyond what is given in the patch. closes: Bug#125611
* flex -o "ddd" doesn't write to the file "ddd", instead it tries to
write to the file "" (yes, blank) and read from "ddd". I changed the
main.c to use the next arg as the output file name if the next arg
does not start with a -. closes: Bug#122581
