Package: xz-utils
Version: 5.1.1alpha+20120614-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
xz-utils/sid has been tracking the 5.1.y branch since the start of the
wheezy cycle to help with that branch's stabilization, and although
except for threading support that branch is quite stable, no official
stable release has been cut from it. As a result, the packaged
version of XZ Utils that will most likely be in wheezy has a
confusingly alarming version number with "alpha" in the middle.
An ideal fix would have been to improve documentation and polish
enough that the current upstream version could be called "stable", but
that won't help with wheezy anyway since we patch out the threading
support. For now the best we can do is to clarify what patches have
been applied that make the difference between upstream's alpha version
and Debian's soon-to-be-stable one.
Documenting the patches applied is a good practice, anyway (idea
taken from Matthias's gcc packages).

Subject: xz-utils/README.Debian: Document patches
Given that we are packaging an alpha release, end-users and other
distributors might wonder how a stable release is made out of that and
how the packaged code differs from the original code.
Add some words describing each patch to README.Debian to help such
people, imitating the gcc packaging. This information does not go in
the package description because it is more relevant when using the
package than when deciding whether to install it. The package
description already mentions that threads are not supported.
Thanks to Andrew Pollock, Thorsten Glaser, and Lasse Collin for
advice.

+Differences from standard XZ Utils
+----------------------------------
+
+XZ Utils 5.1.y upstream has some experimental features which are
+disabled in Debian to allow the interfaces to evolve. The Debian
+package also modifies liblzma to avoid breakage when a binary links
+indirectly to liblzma from Debian 6.0 (squeeze) and 7.0 (wheezy) at
+the same time.

Changes:
xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20120614-2) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Apply fixes from 5.1.2alpha. Closes: #685220.
- liblzma: report a LZMA_DATA_ERROR when range encoded data starts
with a nonzero byte. This is a sanity check to catch malformed
files that no known encoders produce.
- xz -v -v --list: Support for decompressing blocks with
zero-length uncompressed data was added in xz 5.0.2, not 5.0.3.
- xz.1: "xz --robot -v -v --list" gained a "minimum xz version to
decompress" field.
* xz-utils/README.Debian: Document differences from upstream.
Closes: #685217.
