Changes:
dpkg (1.20.0) experimental; urgency=medium
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* libdpkg: Do not generate a backup file for the available database.
Closes: #343578
* perl: Switch Getopt::Long from bundling to bundling_values. This means
the few scripts using Getopt::Long will stop accepting options in the
form «-ab» for «-a -b», which is not future-proof, as it does not allow
these options to get new arguments without making them abiguous.
* dpkg-buildpackage: Remove transient backwards R³ compatibility code.
* buildtools.mk: Add support for nostrip in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS when setting
the STRIP variable.
* dpkg-genbuildinfo: Do not include irrelevant packages in the Binary field.
* dpkg: Do not clear selections for unknown packages. Closes: #927752
* dpkg-shlibdeps: Add support for new Build-Depends-Packages, to be able
to specify multiple packages. Closes: #926669
Based on a patch by Frank Schaefer <kelledin@gmail.com>.
* perl: Remove support for versioned GnuPG 2 program and packages.
* libdpkg: Clarify lock contender error message. Print the PID of the lock
contender, and add a warning explaining that removing the lock file is
never the correct solution.
* dpkg-genchanges, dpkg-mergechangelogs: Remove support for ~vola
versioning, as volatile.debian.org was decommissioned some time ago.
* dpkg-genchanges, dpkg-mergechangelogs: Match ~deb also as a backport
marker in versions. Closes: #934980
* libdpkg, dpkg: Use new versiondescribe_c() for non-localizable call sites,
such as when writing to a log, which should not be localized.
Reported by Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org>.
* dpkg-query: Try to use the package synopsis from the available file if
not installed. Closes: #43573
* dpkg-gencontrol: Take into account hardlinks when computing the
Installed-Size substvar. Closes: #923475
Patch co-authored with Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>.
* dpkg: Fix and clarify behavior for packages marked to be on “hold”. These
need to be processed for configuration and triggers. Closes: #926472
* dpkg: Use DPKG_ADMINDIR to set the admindir. Closes: #900071
* dpkg-source: Remove backwards compatibility code for legacy build-profiles.
* perl: Give more context on field parsing errors. Closes: #637060
* dpkg-buildpackage: Add option to sanitize environment. Closes: #843776
* update-alternatives: Cope with a missing administrative directory.
* update-alternatives: Create the administrative directory on demand.
* dpkg-split: Cope with a missing parts/ database directory.
* dpkg-split: Create the parts/ database directory on demand.
* libdpkg: Consider msdbrw_needsuperuser equivalent to msdbrw_write, so
the same checks are performed on normal non --force-not-root operation.
* libdpkg: Add support for bootstrapping the installation of dpkg:
- Create the logfile with correct permissions, and remove the code
setting up the logfile from the dpkg postinst.
- Allow missing status and available databases, so that they get created
on write, and remove the code setting them up from the dpkg postinst.
Closes: #647911
- Do not change the ownership of the triggers database directory. Either
we are running as root:root which means the ownership should be correct
already, or we are not which means we cannot change it anyway.
- Create the dpkg database directory on demand.
- Create the updates/ database directory on demand.
- Create the info/ database directory on demand.
* dpkg-architecture: Fix handling of exec failing in --command.
Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
* dpkg-buildpackage: Do not accept equal signs as part of the hook names.
Reported by Daniel Shahaf <danielsh@apache.org>. Closes: #948291
* dselect: Mark a string for translation.
* dselect: Cleanup access methods:
- Remove harddisk methods, as they were non-functional due to fdisk
interface changes, and do not make sense anymore as we can expect users
to mount any such filesystem on their own, to then use a filesystem
method instead. Prompted by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
- Remove cdrom method superseded by the multi_cd method.
- Remove nfs methods, as there is nothing special about NFS, and mounting
these should just be left to the local admin, who can mount any other
remote filesystem too.
- Remove multi_mount method, as the multi_cd method can take care of
mounting the necessary images or devices.
- Replace changelog with correct copyright in file header.
* dpkg, dselect: Stop using first-person singular in output messages.
* libdpkg: Fix memory leak in parsedb context close.
* buildtools.mk: Add QMAKE variable. Closes: #920878
* po: Fix translation of --compare-versions. Closes: #951614
