module-assistant (0.9sarge1) stable-security; urgency=high

  * security bugfix release proposal
  * Fixes a possible symlink attack caused by debug message storage
    [modass/include/generic.mk, CAN-2005-3121]

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Thu,  1 Sep 2005 10:15:56 +0200

module-assistant (0.9) unstable; urgency=high

  * correcting description of the -i option in the manpage
  * added a rescan method to detect new override files installed by package.
    Important for the future upgrades when Sarge will be stable.
  * a nicer version number ;-)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Mon, 16 May 2005 01:02:02 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.12) unstable; urgency=high

  * added workarounds in the misdn script (basically disabled
    parts in clean/unpack/purge rules since the package does not follow
    conventions)
  * while working on misdn found and fixed potential bugs in generic.sh (not
    catching some build directory names and beginning of the build not logged)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sun, 15 May 2005 14:23:04 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.11) unstable; urgency=medium

  * manpage updates:
    + new goals in the TODO list
    + a-i does not run prepare (recommended prepare elsewhere, closes:#309031)
    + typo and gramar fixes
  * added pt_BR.po from Andre Luis Lopes (closes: #308093)
  * removed control script for cpcieject (package removed, also from Sarge
    now, closes: #307227)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sat, 14 May 2005 15:24:12 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.10) unstable; urgency=high

  * actually unpacking the source package before build starts (as done before)
    and using "unpacked" flags only with -o
  * fixed typo in the long help (search == "list -s", closes: #305910)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Mon, 25 Apr 2005 00:43:39 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.9) unstable; urgency=high

  * this really needs to go into Sarge now, thus the severity
  * bash completion file fix (removed experimental/unsupported commands, 
    added all, alli, allu virtual packages)
  * developer howto revised, minor updates

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Thu, 21 Apr 2005 19:34:03 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.8) unstable; urgency=medium

  * bash_completion file and few internal commands to provide data for it
  * made the checks for terminal checks failures more carefull, no more
    compilation error without Text::Size (closes: #305083)
  * various typo fixes, thanks to Flavio Stanchina (closes: #305085)
  * unfuzzying in ja.po and de.po, typos fixes in de.po

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Mon, 18 Apr 2005 02:26:21 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.7) unstable; urgency=medium

  * long options for --quiet and --debug and enforced quiet more aggresively
  * update command speedups:
    + fixed the apt-policy data precaching (about three times faster now)
    + writting version strings from m-a, not running control scripts. Since
      there are only few "weird" packages with special control scripts today,
      the command is ultra fast now
  * more automatic text wrapping (using libterm-size-perl or
    libterm-readkey-perl)
  * recoded the Japanese translation to UTF-8 to edit it and fix fuzzyness
  * moved from fixed dialog sizes to variable sizes where it makes sense
    (closes: #300208)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sat, 16 Apr 2005 20:10:58 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * i18n by Kenshi Muto and Luk Claes, thanks guys. Added de.po translated by
    me (closes: #261989, #304321)
  * adjusted source dir dupe filter to no count kernel-headers twice (when
    linked to /usr/src/linux, closes: #302714)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Fri, 15 Apr 2005 01:49:59 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * removed the APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND setting again, it is up to the local
    admin to make it quiet when m-a is called

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sun, 10 Apr 2005 13:12:58 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * non-interactive mode fixes: passing -y to apt-get where possible and
    setting APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=mail to make it STFU

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sun, 10 Apr 2005 11:43:27 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * wrapping most rules in common-rules.sh trough ROOT_CMD. There is a remote
    possibility that it may break things, but we will see (closes: #303838)
  * KDREV detection code cleanup, does not stumble over (none) any more if
    neither -headers not -image has been installed (closes: Bug#303543)
  * now also adding modules with failed builds to temporary blacklist,
    avoiding doomed installation attempts (closes: #303407)
  * if /usr/src/linux seems to be non-existent, print a warning and set KVERS
    to unknown rather than to ".."
  * made the list output easier to read and more compact
  * the -i option slightly modified (meaning now: non-interactive), renamed
    the long option to non-inter
  * code review, now avoiding duplicated compilation by using flag files (for
    "old" packages) or the prediction function for m-a using source packages.
    Repeated unpack operations can be skipped with an option. All that
    makes "full-automatic binary installation" (#239695, #303636, #299727)
    possible but needs a better crystallization of the integration method.
  * Added an example script for this functionality (for cron or so) and a
    compressed set of templates for the debian/* directory of future packages.

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sun, 10 Apr 2005 01:21:53 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.2) unstable; urgency=high

  * Yippie! Found and fixed an old Heisenbug. "Random" log lines accidentaly
    have been used as the initial message in new progress windows created
    during the build process and this sometimes messed up the dialog call
    because of ugly things like `' quotes (closes: #234733, #283836, #290126)
  * new package control script: unionfs-source

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Tue, 29 Mar 2005 19:03:31 +0200

module-assistant (0.8.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * removed the zaptel workaround, using a normal script now (closes: #301484)
  * added symlink slmodem -> sl-modem
  * made the gauge updating code unbuffered (more or less)
  * added a new list expansion keyword allu which allows a similar thing that
    kernel-package without additional options does, but also updates the source

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sun, 27 Mar 2005 20:11:56 +0200

module-assistant (0.8) unstable; urgency=medium

  * make relative kernel paths absolute if required (eg. -k.)
  * removed atmelwlandriver-source control script (closes: #297499)
  * trying to get KDREV from debian/changelog in the kernel-source dir if
    everything else failed
  * added Module.symvers copying in fakesource, patch by Max Vozeler
    (closes: #298113)
  * removing packages from the task list when some operation (eg. download)
    fails, not repeating almost the same error messages, also reduced number
    of redundant error messages on missing/invalid kernel sources
  * added more meaningfull message about failed source download 
    (closes: #290837)
  * fixed typo in the help output and the manpage ("--userdir", closes: #298419)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Fri, 11 Mar 2005 19:01:24 +0100

module-assistant (0.7.5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * cosmetics, shorter message lines, not printing spooky error messages

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:31:23 +0100

module-assistant (0.7.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * added patch to use Unicode whitespace types (closes: Bug#297077)
  * reinit kernel source checks after the prep step is trough (closes: #296910)
  * added code to warn and give some hints if the module requests the full
    kernel source (see /usr/share/modass/overrides/loop-aes-source for
    example, now closes: #296946). Also choosing the "more complete" kernel
    source directory if two candidates are available.

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:12:12 +0100

module-assistant (0.7.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * check for useable TERM settings (not dumb or unknown and known by
    infocmp) before choosing the dialog GUI (closes: #293761)
  * Ubuntu patches from Chris Halls (closes: #284629) and also using Ubuntu
    defaults when detected in via /etc/lsb-release
  * hint for getting version.h in the manpage
  * fixed the old funny bug with "linux" created in the current directory
    (closes: #292542)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sun, 06 Feb 2005 22:16:44 +0100

module-assistant (0.7.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * not setting ARCH from dpkg output in the environment, excepting the 
    sparc workarounds
  * also stripping -driver when guessing the base package name
  * eagle-adsl-modules-src -> eagle-usb-modules-source (closes:#288719)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Tue,  4 Jan 2005 02:13:34 +0100

module-assistant (0.7.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * cosmetic fixes, more meaningful user messages and manpage corrections
  * GUI invocation without any command fixed
  * new control scripts: misdn-kernel-source, cpad-kernel-source,
    gpib-modules-source, wacom-kernel-source, at76c503a-source,
    xdslusb-source, acx100-source, ndiswrapper-source,
    openswan-modules-source, oprofile-source, qla2x00-source 
    (did I miss something? ;)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Tue, 04 Jan 2005 01:57:09 +0100

module-assistant (0.7) unstable; urgency=high

  * ARCH=sparc/sparc64 workaround and made other checks more robust
  * better filter for cruft files in control script directory (closes:#277568)
  * added ipw2200-source control script (generic as usual, closes: #278895)
  * don't complain if the user is already in the group src, instead create a
    replacement directory in /usr/src (closes: #285104)
  * removed the custom hostap-source script, using pure generic
  * made dpkg-deb regexp in generic.sh more fuzzy to match languages with
    blank chars where you can place one (closes: #281664)
  * extended prep to work for multiple custom kernel versions (closes:#270554)
  * added advanced warning about for those that cannot think about what
    kernel-source actually is (closes: #270552)
  * more carefull check for bad kernel source candidates (closes: #269926)
  * documented how to deal with additional control scripts (closes: #280215)
  * fixed a copy-paste error (--apt-search) in the manpage (closes: #272035)
  * fixed gramar error in the description ("tool to make", closes: #251357)
  * fixed typos in the manpage (closes: #284197)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Tue, 28 Dec 2004 23:21:40 +0100

module-assistant (0.6.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * better printout of the log file location, also noted in the manpage
  * generic.mk: work arounds for having epoch number in both, kernel and
    package revision. Also made it expect "cosmetic" filenames (without
    epochs) for the package files

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sat,  8 May 2004 00:28:31 +0200

module-assistant (0.6.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * generic.sh: better check for the installed status
  * fixed the package name completion (closes: #247888)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Fri,  7 May 2004 20:29:21 +0200

module-assistant (0.6.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * changed the Makefile modification routine to act less destructive in
    "fakesource"

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Fri,  7 May 2004 00:25:50 +0200

module-assistant (0.6.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * repeative scan for the build directory in generic.sh, especially after
    initial source extraction is done. Thanks to Sebastian Ley for providing
    test data.
  * a new experimental function: "fakesource" which creates a kernel source
    tree that "may" be similar to the one used to build the current kernel

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Thu, 06 May 2004 23:20:56 +0200

module-assistant (0.6.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * fixed check for the root-UID and replacement directory (closes: #245738).
    The messages appears early enough to not continue with file download
    (closes: #239844)
  * hidding missleading error message showed by echodebfile method when the
    source is not extracted yet
  * new control script: ipw2100-source

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Tue, 30 Mar 2004 21:54:53 +0200

module-assistant (0.6.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * more meaningful message about not full configured kernel source
  * self-configuring build mode for "any given package"
  * new control scripts: ppscsi, qc-usb-source (closes: #240738)
  * replaced the old script name in the manpage (closes: #239839)
  * Failing early if the user is not root and not replacement directory is
    speicified (closes: #239839)
  * integrated the KSRC calculation hocus-pocus as the last fallback option

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Fri, 27 Feb 2004 03:26:03 +0100

module-assistant (0.6.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Corrected dialog/whiptail detection
  * NEW: option to simplify non-root usage (-u)
  
 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sat, 31 Jan 2004 23:14:58 +0100

module-assistant (0.6.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * stop on build failures and show a diagnostics menu (closes: #229883)

 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sat, 17 Jan 2004 01:27:53 +0100

module-assistant (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * only take the current kernel version if kverslist and kerneldirs is empty
  * generik.mk exports CC
  * --text-mode documented (closes: #226427)
  * made the error message on installation of non-existent package less
    confusing
  
 -- Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>  Sun,  7 Dec 2003 22:18:03 +0100

module-assistant (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * kdist_build in common-rules.mk wraps all commands trough $(ROOT_CMD). Not
    really needed for regular m-a users but apparently useful for some people,
    closes: #221987
  * Dialog integration! UI for command invocation and progress bars while
    building und cache updating. Whiptail is used alternatively instead of
    dialog but not enabled for everything because of "missing features"
  * lots of small bug fixes, rewrite of the list method
  * new option: -l to specify the relevant kernel versions directly
    + rewrite of the the kerneldirs lookup method
  * generic.sh:
    + better error status control

module-assistant (0.3.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * few typos in user messages fixed
  * set Section to "admin", looks more appropriate then "misc"

    been found.
