Subject: Bump advertised po4a requirement to 0.41
The po4a --srcdir and --destdir options were introduced in version
0.36.4, but attempts to point --srcdir to a different directory than
the cwd when running po4a produced the message “master file was not
found” instead of doing something useful until version 0.41 (r2317,
2010-11-03).

Hi,
Squeeze i386 system. Building dpkg master (but I assume the last
uploaded sid version would behave similarly):
| $ dpkg-query -W po4a
| po4a 0.40.2-1
| $ debian/rules build
[...]
| make[3]: Entering directory `/home/jrn/src/dpkg/build-tree/man'
| po4a --previous --srcdir ../../man --destdir
/home/jrn/src/dpkg/build-tree/man --no-backups ../../man/po/po4a.cfg
| ../../man/po/po4a.cfg:17: The 'deb.5' master file does not exist.
| make[3]: *** [man.stamp] Error 9
| make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jrn/src/dpkg/build-tree/man'
The upstream changelog for po4a in sid tells me that this is a known
problem --- versions before 0.41 would neglect to chdir to $srcdir at
the appropriate moment, making the --srcdir option mostly useless.
Building dpkg with "./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/dpkg && make" so
$(srcdir) is . indeed avoids trouble.
Reverting commits 966a4f6b, 0ed90da7, and 822ea85c (build: Use po4a
--srcdir and --builddir, 2011-0919) avoids trouble, too, and that is
what I did locally. Short of that, how about this patch?

Changes:
dpkg (1.16.2~wipmultiarch) experimental; urgency=low
.
This is a WIP release, command line interfaces *will* change.
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Move <config.h> and <compat.h> to the top of trigdeferred.l to properly
use the configured features and compat code.
* Honour --disable-nls when the system lacks obstack support, by updating
the obstack compat module from gnulib.
* Link the libdpkg unit tests with libcompat and libintl, so that systems
needing them will compile correctly.
* Check for the presence of the strnlen declaration and correctly provide
the compat one in case the systems lacks it.
* Do not assume existence of paths on the build system in the test suite.
* Do not fail to link dselect on MacOS X when using --disable-nls.
* Remove versioned coreutils Pre-Depends from dpkg due to the ancient
md5sum transition. Reported by Bill Allombert <[email protected]>.
Closes: #643746
* Change dpkg-architecture to only compute the requested variables. This:
- Fixes the bootstrapping problem, as the dpkg build system only needs
the host architecture, for which dpkg itself is not required.
- Reduces the amount of work performed, including loading and parsing
unnecessary table files or calling either of gcc or dpkg programs.
* Improve error message in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols when
debian/control does not have any package stanza. Closes: #642473
Based on a patch by Kyle Willmon <[email protected]>.
* Add Pre-Depends on tar >= 1.23 (satisfied in stable) to dpkg due to it
using the ‘--warning=no-timestamp’ option. Closes: #642802
* Do not segfault on GNU/Linux when dpkg cannot retrieve the block size
for the filesystem containing the info database. LP: #872734
* Fix two memory leaks per tar entry in the tar extractor used on unpack.
* Mark dpkg and dselect as Multi-Arch foreign.
Reported by Steve Langasek <[email protected]>.
* Mark dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl as Multi-Arch foreign. Closes: #648217
Thanks to Colin Watson <[email protected]>.
* Add new deb-origin.5 man page. Closes: #608884
Thanks to Matt Kraai <[email protected]>.
* Return correct status on start-stop-daemon --status when using --pidfile.
* Treat dpkg-deb compression level independently for each backend. This
has the effect of changing the current behaviour for level 0 on all
compressors except gzip.
* Add new dpkg-deb -S option to specify the compression strategy. The only
currently supported value is “extreme” for xz. Closes: #647915
* Stop using brace expansion to install man pages by using dh_installman
instead of dh_install, the former does not abort on empty glob expansion.
* Do not use absolute paths for programs in perl and shell code.
* Add missing ‘*’ in asprintf() and vasprintf() compat declarations.
* Add support for virtual output binary:Summary and db:Status-Abbrev fields.
Closes: #192619, #427945
* Add support for virtual output source:Package and source:Version fields.
Closes: #653575
* Use a different temporary file per process on libcompat's vsnprintf()
function to avoid race conditions from children after fork(3).
Reported by Daniel Ruoso <[email protected]>. Closes: #655411
* Fix start-stop-daemon --exec and --name options on FreeBSD, NetBSD and
OpenBSD by swapping the process matching implementations.
* Fix start-stop-daemon --name option on GNU/Hurd to match the process name.
* Document in more detail the implications of start-stop-daemon matching
options. Closes: #367608
* Improve and clarify dpkg-shlibdeps superfluous linking warning messages.
Based on a patch by Peter Eisentraut <[email protected]>. Closes: #656496
.
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Update Dpkg::Shlibs to look into multiarch paths when cross-building
too. Closes: #595144
* Rewrite architecture.mk with explicit loops instead of duplicating many
similar lines. Based on a patch by Thorsten Glaser <[email protected]>.
* Modify dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-distaddfile to grab a write lock
on debian/control before updating debian/files to avoid simultaneous
updates. Closes: #642608
Add libfile-fcntllock-perl to dpkg-dev's Depends since we use this module
to handle the locking.
* Update dpkg-gensymbols(1) to clarify that -e accepts shell patterns
expansions and not regular expressions. And let dpkg-gensymbols output a
warning when a pattern doesn't match any file. Closes: #649248
* Add new option "-a <arch>" to dpkg-checkbuilddeps to check build
dependencies for another architecture. This is really basic for now since
it assumes all build dependencies must be satisfied on the listed
architecture. Closes: #648180 Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch.
* Error out if a dpkg database .list file is not a regular file. LP: #369898
* Fix dpkg-mergechangelogs to not error out on invalid versions.
Closes: #651993
* Fix dpkg-source --commit on "3.0 (quilt)" when an explicit patch file
is given with a relative filename. Closes: #652414
* Further clarify in dpkg-source(1) the conditions under which it's possible
to pass an explicit patch file to dpkg-source --commit.
* Add new --query-features command to dpkg-buildflags. Thanks to Kees Cook
for the patch. Closes: #651481
* Fix description of Multi-Arch in deb-control(5). Closes: #654453
Thanks to Jakub Wilk for spotting the mistake.
* Drop misleading spaces in deb-symbols(5) in the format description.
* Clean up dpkg-architecture(1) dropping useless information and
adding a reference to /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk.
* Update dpkg-buildpackage to use the "build-arch" (for -B) and
"build-indep" (for -A) targets unless "make -qn" says that they do not
exist. Closes: #229357
.
[ Jonathan Nieder ]
* Bump po4a version in Build-Depends to 0.41, since earlier versions do
not handle --srcdir correctly. Closes: #644370
.
[ Helge Kreutzmann ]
