+ error out if found.

+ read from the first paragraph of debian/control, and propagated to
+ the .dsc. This lists the people allowed to upload a package. If it
+ is not set, then the value of the Maintainer is placed into this
+ field of the .dsc. This bumps the .dsc format to 1.1.

+ + scripts/dpkg-source.pl, scripts/controllib.pl, scripts/dpkg-source.1,

+ only display the warning once for each directory.
+ + THANKS: Added Colin Watson. Also put in an email address for Colin
+ Plumb.

+ * Improve the output parsing of tar in checktarsane().
+ + scripts/dpkg-source.pl: When both arch: all and arch: <arch> packages
+ exist in debian/control, don't promote the source arch: to any, but

+ * lib/parse.c: Removed use of getc(), and instead use pointers

+
+ * lib/fields.c, lib/parsehelp.c, include/dpkg-db.h: Increased the
+ speed of convert_string() by a factor of 2, by storing the length

+
+ * main/{processarc,archive}.c: Make the conflictor an array of structs and
+ make sure that check_conflicts uses that and increments a global indexs
+ for the array. The reason that multiple conflicts/replaces were getting
+ borked had something to do with thre first one in the hash not being
+ processed. This was the result of bad pointer games, so this makes it a
+ lot cleaner.

+ * dpkg-shlibdeps: redirect STDERR to /dev/null for the dpkg fork so we
+ don't see dpkg's errors
+ * internals.sgml: Removed references to the versions of build tools,
+ they date the document.
+ * debian-changelog-mode.el: added hint for better log-email handling
+ * Added recognition for new source-depends fields for policy
+ referenced in bug #41232
+ * dpkg-buildpackage: add -ap option to force a pause prior to starting
+ the sign process. This helps for people who don't keep their signatures
+ on the filesystem (on a floppy perhaps, then mount as needed).
+ * minor script corrections
+ * dpkg-dev control: Change gcc to c-compiler in the recommends field, and
+ move cpio, patch and make to the depends line

+
+ * Update copyright (taken from dpkg-iwj tree, with Ben added)
+ * Add support for long filenames in tarfiles. Based on a patch
+ from Andrew Hobson <ahobson@eng.mindspring.net>
+ * Add a --assert-longfilenames option
+
+Thu Oct 21 06:37:24 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+ * Fixed some compiler warnings
+ * Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
+ pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
+ * When running --configure on an already installed package, just
+ say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
+ state
+ * Bah, add all the prefix/datadir... stuff back to the install
+ target in debian/rules (po/ doesn't use it)
+ * Add function to libdpkg that dpkg can call to make sure it's
+ compiled version matches that of the library. If it fails,
+ complain loudly, but allow to proceed
+ * Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
+ since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
+ borked in the first place
+ * Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
+ * Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
+ * start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
+ * update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
+ are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
+ to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
+ * dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
+ destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
+ changing the diversion registry
+ * Fix bad regex in update-rc.d
+
+Tue Oct 19 18:07:28 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+ * Ok, TMPDIR usage is back in dpkg-deb and working
+ * {include,scripts}/Makefile.am: Fix for using DESTDIR
+ * debian/rules: really convert to DESTDIR on install target this
+ time. chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
+ in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
+ distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
+ simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
+ source.
+
+Tue Oct 19 09:59:22 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+ * Reverted the new tmpfile stuff in dpkg-deb. For some reason it's
+ completely corrupting the new package
+
+Mon Oct 18 18:40:35 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+ * Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
+ this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
+ different in layout. Note, I tested the first way and this new way
+ against package foo (version 1 & 2) each had 5000 files (different
+ in version 2 than in version 1). basically this meant the old way
+ needed to do about 2.5 million lstats, and the new way only needs
+ 10,000 lstats. This sped it up about %6000 percent (the old way took
+ over 1 hour on a 333Mhz, the new way was 2 minutes and 20 seconds).
+ Note that this is an extreme case since most per package upgrades
+ a) don't have 5000 files
+ b) don't have all the files different
+ * Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
+ for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
+ largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
+
+Mon Oct 18 09:25:30 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+ * Add mipseb to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
+ both viable names for the mips big endian arch
+ * Update dpkg-architecure's archtable
+ * Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
+ we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
+ already generated anyway
+ * Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
+ to libtool itself after running configure, much cleaner, and
+ reversible since libtool is a generated file
+ * Use DESTDIR when installing instead of specifying all our
+ dest dirs seperately in the make line. Also fix some of the
+ make files to use DESTDIR when installing files
+ * Regenerated .po files and dpkg.pot. Also added update.sh to the po/
+ subdir for easier regenerating for cvs only
+ * Make release.sh generate .gmo files
+ * Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
+ Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
+ arch
+
+Sun Oct 17 13:40:46 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+ * Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
+ * Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
+ when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
+ this is just a documentation fix).
+ * Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
+ it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
+ * Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
+ a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
+ * Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
+ * When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
+ packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
+ and continue.
+ * Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
+ the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
+ output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
+
+Sun Oct 17 11:51:36 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+ * Revert to hardcoding ENOENT again, since the necessary parts of
+ the perl POSIX module aren't in perl-*-base. sigh.
+
+Sat Oct 16 11:43:45 EDT 1999 Ben Collins <bcollins.debian.org>
+
+ * Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
+ a different uid when starting a process
+ * Added mipsel to the archtable for completeness
+ * Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
+ of the registered alternatives for a specific name
+ * Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
+ and uses
+ * Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
+ it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor
+
+Thu Oct 14 04:51:14 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+ * Don't use Errno module but the POSIX module, since that *is*
+ in perl-*-base
+ * Fixup debian/rules
+
+Thu Oct 14 04:39:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

+
+Thu Oct 14 04:16:25 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+ * Reinstate patch to not read available-file with doing listfiles.
+ * Don't forget to get the correct SHELL before showing a diff of
+ conffiles!
+ * Merge a patch from Ben Collins to add a bunch of --force options
+ to handle changed conffiles
+
+Thu Oct 14 03:37:52 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+ * Add mips to archtable

+ memory corruption
+
+Wed Oct 13 17:51:17 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+ * Merge patches from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>:
+ + fix windowresizing in dselect
+ + when upgrading check if a file is not also in the new package before
+ removing it, so we don't remove new files due to symlinks confusing us
+ + fix logic error in checkforremoval: it was breaking cycles in for the
+ wrong package
+ + fix findbreakcycle to remove cycles even for packages we are not changing
+
+Mon Oct 11 22:19:01 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+ * Add the option to show a diff of the old and new conffile when

+
+Tue Oct 12 17:15:08 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

+
+ * Move dselect into its own package
+

+ * Preparation to move start-stop-daemon from scripts to utils
+ * Merge patches from Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>:

+ processing an archive.

+ for a number in update-rc.d
+
+Wed Oct 6 14:40:33 CEST 1999 Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>
+
+ * Lock complete lockfile for database: it's empty anyway, and Hurd
+ doesn't support partial locks currently
+ * Don't use PATH_MAX but allocate necessay memory in checkpath().
+ Useful for system that don't have PATH_MAX (like Hurd)

+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.31:

+

+* Deleted executables, objects and libraries from OLD tree !
+* Minor changes to various copyright notices and top-of-file comments.
+* Don't install nasty Perl dselectish thing as /usr/bin/dselect.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.26:

+ but doing so on --install; removed --force-unpack-any.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.25:
+
+* Fixed duplicate output (failure to flush before fork) bug.
+* More clarification of md5sum.c copyright.
+* Corrected typo in ChangeLog in 0.93.24 source package.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.24:
+
+* dpkg could copy conffiles info from one package to another. Aargh.
+ Bug #426.
+* dpkg failed to initialise status if you tried to remove or
+ configure a nonexistent package. Bug #419.
+* install-info now handles START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY entries like:
+ * Gdb:: The GNU debugger.
+ Previously it would only accept (Bug #407):
+ * Gdb: (gdb). The GNU debugger.
+* When installing a new foo.info[.gz], install-info now replaces
+ * Foo: (foo.info). The Gnoo Foo.
+ as well as just * Foo: (foo). ...

+ from package top-level source directory.
+* C control information parsing complete and somewhat tested.
+* Moved `global' include files into $(srcdir)/include from ../lib,
+ added some files to the lib Makefile, and arranged for pop_cleanup().
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.22:
+
+* Fixed bug which caused dpkg to see failures of md5sum where there
+ were none (would also have caused dpkg to miss a real failure).
+* Fixed failure to update some `status' database fields.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.21:

+* Fixed error-handling bug which could corrupt database.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.20:

+ Deluth Miller. Also, an xfig picture of some C program innards.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.19:
+
+* Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database.
+* Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling.
+* Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the
+ `dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles. This means
+ that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of
+ /etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead. However, the
+ link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles.
+* When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that
+ wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't
+ do any prompting but just install the version from the archive.
+* Corrected error message if exec of dpkg --vextract failed
+ and --instroot or --root specified.
+* Added new --force-unpack-any option.
+* Extra newline after --status output.
+* Added -W options to CFLAGS.

+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.18:

+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.17:
+
+* install-info --remove exits with status 0 if it doesn't find the
+ thing to remove, instead of status 1.
+* Error handling functions have __attribute__((format...)) if GCC.
+* push_cleanup its arg takes void **argv instead of char **argv.
+* Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops.
+* dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.16:
+
+* Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'.
+* install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask.
+* Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail,
+ and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways.
+* dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with
+ /var/{adm,lib}/dpkg. Should be faster.
+* Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.15:
+
+* Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive.
+* Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib.
+* Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search.
+* Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but
+ dpkg-deb not yet updated).
+* Added --root, --admindir and --instdir, as well as --isok &c.
+* Moved much stuff into /usr/lib/dpkg-lib.pl, rewritten status
+ database handling.
+* Put packages in `purge' state even if `deinstall' requested if
+ they have no postrm and no conffiles.
+* Version number comparisons fixed.
+* insert-version.pl now installes lib.pl filename too.
+* Strip trailing slashes when reading files from file lists.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.14:
+
+* Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace.
+* postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file.
+* Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider
+ packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead.
+* Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old
+ configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.13:
+
+* sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl.
+* Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error
+ if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file.
+* Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call.
+* New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN
+ directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.12:
+

+Tue Oct 18 09:40:57 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.8 released.
+
+ * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir ()
+ when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this
+ case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and
+ are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence).
+
+Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards.
+
+ * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are
+ removed LAST! This will result in complete removal of packages
+ when --remove is called. dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems
+ with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which
+ will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time.
+
+ * deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name.
+
+Tue Oct 4 12:27:10 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): When a list file cannot be
+ opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
+
+ * deb/util.c (return_info): When a control file cannot be opened,
+ silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
+
+ * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Exit 0 if the regular expression is
+ matched and 1 if it is not.
+
+Mon Oct 3 18:38:53 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg.pl: New file. Replaces dpkg.sh.
+
+ * deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'.
+
+ * deb/build.c (pkg_build): `--build' is less verbose, instead
+ letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
+
+ * deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto.
+
+ * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto.
+
+ * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto.
+
+ * deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose,
+ instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
+ The ``Description:'' label has been removed.
+
+ * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose,
+ instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
+ The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer
+ information.
+
+Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' now reports the
+ version number of dpkg if no argument is specified.
+
+Thu Sep 1 13:31:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.7 released.
+
+ * deb/build.c (pkg_build): check status and exit if non-zero.
+
+ * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): ditto.
+
+ * deb/install.c (archive_extract): ditto.
+
+Thu Sep 1 13:20:08 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * deb/version.c (pkg_version): indent to the same point as
+ pkg_describe.
+
+Thu Sep 1 12:21:11 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * Makefile.in (dist): added debian.rules binary, source and
+ dist targets to make final distribution easier to make.
+ (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
+
+ * deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
+
+ * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters
+ for the package name in the output.
+ (pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for
+ the front-end to parse the output.
+ (pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description
+ with '\0'.
+
+ * deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to
+ ensure that permissions are preserved.
+
+Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.6 released.
+
+ * deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is
+ true!
+
+Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.5 released.
+
+ * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents
+ into function pkg_contents.
+
+ * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so
+ that symbolic links are recognized.
+ (pkg_contents): print the usual `<path> -> <link_to>' now that we
+ recognize symbolic links.
+
+ * deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed
+ information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory
+ in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do.
+
+Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed
+ area.
+ (mk_mode_string): ditto.
+
+ * dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a
+ uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation.
+
+ * dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during
+ package removal.
+
+ * dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure.
+
+ * deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and
+ is a Debian archive before doing anything.
+
+ * deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and
+ is a Debian archive before doing anything.
+
+ * deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done.
+
+ * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that
+ --remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a
+ directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic
+ link never being removed at all.
+
+ChangeLog begins Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 for dpkg 0.93.5.
