gdb (16.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  The gdb-multiarch binary package has been reintroduced.

  In order to try to minimize the final installed size of the package, and
  acknowledging that most users are likely not going to need a
  multiarch-capable GDB installed, the gdb-multiarch package has been
  reintroduced.

gdb (16.0.90.20250111-1~exp2) experimental; urgency=medium

  The gdb-minimal and gdb-multiarch binary packages have been removed.

  gdb-minimal contained a stripped-down version of GDB in order to be
  installed on systems where there was no need for a fully fledged
  debugger.  One of its main benefits was supposed to be its smaller size.
  In the end, the storage space saved by gdb-minimal was only 1 megabyte,
  while it increased the maintenance burden (and package build time).  For
  that reason, the package was dropped and the regular gdb package now
  replaces it.

  gdb-multiarch shipped a GDB build that supported multiple target
  architectures.  Again, this was a maintenance burden and GDB's build
  system should be reliable enough so that we can safely enable the
  supported for *all* target architectures without issues.  This is what
  is now done, and the regular gdb package now ships with support for all
  supported architectures.

gdb (7.8-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  WARNING: gdb now uses Python 3 by default.

  Please update your Python scripts to work on both Python 2 and 3 as
  soon as possible.

  See /usr/share/doc/gdb*/README.python_switch for details.
