It contains an extensive refactoring of + dpkg-source around many new modules in scripts/Dpkg/Source/. + + General purpose changes: + * scripts/Dpkg/IPC.pm: New module offering fork_and_exec() to + conveniently execute any program in a child process. It hides + all the error checking and lets you easily redirect input and + output streams. + * scripts/t/800_Dpkg_IPC.t: Non-regression tests for the module + above. + * scripts/Dpkg/Exit.pm: New module to register functions + that would be called if the process was interrupted by a signal. + Useful to cleanup temporary files if we're interrupted while doing + some heavy I/O operation (as dpkg-source can do). + * scripts/Dpkg/ErrorHandling.pm (info, errormsg): info() reports + informational notices on STDOUT and errormsg() displays an error + message on STDERR without dying. Use it only when you will die + later on but want to display all errors before doing so. + * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Heavy rewrite/refactoring based on + all the modules listed below. + * man/dpkg-source.1: Update the manual page to document all the + source package formats and the associated options. + + Dpkg::Source::* infrastructural modules: + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Compressor.pm: Compress and uncompress a + stream of data. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/CompressedFile.pm: Base class used to + provide on-the-fly compression and decompression of any file. + Dpkg::Source::Archive and Dpkg::Source::Patch inherit from it. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Archive.pm: Create and manipulate tar files. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Patch.pm: Create and manipulate patch files. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Functions.pm: Misc helper functions. + erasedir() removes recursively a directory in a safe manner. + fixperms() make sure the permissions of all files in a tree + are sane. + + Source package formats: + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm: Base class implementing the + functions common to all source package formats. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V1_0.pm: Implement the actual + "Format: 1.0" source package format. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2_0.pm: Implement the wig&pen + format as specified in http://www.dpkg.org/dpkg/NewSourceFormat. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/native.pm: Native source + packages (single tarball) that supports all compressions + methods. Compatible with "Format: 1.0" if gzip compression is + used. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/quilt.pm: Next generation + source package format based on wig&pen. It supports multiple + .orig.tar files and all compressions schemes (gzip, bzip2, lzma). + It uses quilt to apply patches at unpack time and is able to add + a new patch at the end of the series if changes are present + at build-time. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/bzr.pm: Experimental format + based on a bzr repository. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/git.pm: Experimental format + based on a git repository. + * scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/custom.pm: Special purpose + format that can be used to create source packages with arbitrary + files.

By default, do not activate the warning about useless libraries at the binary level (instead the new warning above is activated by default: it's less strict and more useful). + * Merge of the sourcev3 branch. dpkg-source has been heavily refactored to + make it easier to support multiple source package formats. Several new + source package formats have been added: + - the format "2.0" is the original wig&pen + - the format "3.0 (quilt)" is based on 2.0. It uses a tarball for the + debian directory and can thus include binary files. Binaries + outside of the debian directory can be also included if they + are listed in debian/source/include-binaries (and option + --include-binaries will generate this file automatically). + Closes: #4588, #4628 + - thus it will also preserve timestamps on Debian-provided + documentation like README.Debian. Closes: #366555 + - it handles an explicit series of patches and the patch can thus be + named without constraints. Patches can contain arbitrary + headers/comments between file chunks. Closes: #363018 + - it ignores changes on a number of temporary and VCS-specific files + by default. Closes: #203792, #323909 + - the patches in debian/patches can remove files. Closes: #12564 + - the patches are applied at unpack time. Closes: #463048 + - the formats "3.0 (quilt/native)" don't include VCS directories by + default. Closes: #435126 + - the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package + containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can + generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way + (like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918 + - the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based + on corresponding VCS repositories. + * dpkg-source has a new --no-check option. It disables GPG check and + checksums checks. Closes: #220758 [ Frank Lichtenheld ] * Add a warning in dpkg-buildpackage if the build-dependencies are not
