Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.14
Severity: wishlist
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Usertags: dpkg-gensymbols
Matthias Klose suggested me to support wildcards in symbols files. The
idea is that the maintainer could then create the symbols files this way:
libc.so.6 libc6 #MINVER#
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.1.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.2
[...]
dpkg-gensymbols would still generate full symbols files (with all symbols
listed) but it would take the version from the matching wildcard.
The downside is that when using this facility, dpkg-gensymbols has no way
to detect symbols that have disappeared since previous version.
I find this idea interesting to ease the work on very complex libs that
have sane upstreams (like glibc or some gcc libs) but I'd like to have
the opinion of others too.
Cheers,

Changes:
dpkg (1.14.16) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add build-essential as an implicit Build-Depends in dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
Closes: #402901
* Add build-essential to dpkg-dev Recommends.
* Do not warn about unrecognized Homepage field in binary package stanzas
in dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-source. Closes: #460309
* Do not use the enoent helper binary, and use perl POSIX module instead.
* Keep checking for the process when start-stop-daemon is called with
--retry even if the daemon removed the pidfile. Closes: #460903
Thanks to Justin Pryzby for the analysis.
* Make --quiet silence --test in start-stop-daemon. Closes: #367998
* Check current uid and gid in start-stop-daemon before calling setuid,
setgid and initgroups. Closes: #222524
Based on a patch by Samuel Thibault.
* Remove unimplemented --test option from update-alternatives.
Closes: #392432, #461247
* Additionally check if errno is EEXIST after rmdir(2), as SUSv3 specifies
that on non-empty directories it can either return that or ENOTEMPTY.
This fixes run time problems on Solaris.
* Fix start-stop-daemon --help output to state that --name is one of the
possible required options to use. Closes: #354999
* Demote dselect from priority important to optional. Closes: #461327
* Fix portability issues on HP-UX, by not using backticks inside double
quotes in m4 files. Closes: #24514
* Switch Maintainer address to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
* Add README.feature-removal-schedule describing the features to be removed
and README.api describing the provided APIs.
.
[ Frank Lichtenheld ]
* Make the -L option of dpkg-parsechangelog actually work (it's
only been eleven years...)
* Import the code from my external Parse::DebianChangelog as
Dpkg::Changelog and Dpkg::Changelog::Debian. Using this
from parsechangelog/debian adds the following requested
features:
- Option to use a non-lossy format. Closes: #95579
- Various options to better control how many entries
should be displayed. Closes: #226932
.
[ Raphael Hertzog ]
* Replaced all the remaining code in controllib.pl by new modules. All
scripts have been adjusted to use the new modules and controllib.pl has
been removed.
* The code to parse debian/control is available in a perl module
Dpkg::Control. Closes: #26554
* Temporarily add a Breaks: dpkg-dev (= 1.14.13), dpkg-dev (= 1.14.14) on
dpkg for the convenience of sid users. Closes: #459815
* Update dpkg-source(1) to explain better what the directory after -b is.
Closes: #323606
* Also force version in 1.14.16 if dpkg-gencontrol -v<version>
is used. That way we're consistent with the definition of that variable
in deb-substvars(5). Closes: #433477
* Add support of Dm-Upload-Allowed field. Closes: #453400
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps's filtering of duplicated dependencies in fields of
lesser priority (when -d is used).
* Fix behaviour of dpkg-shlibdeps when the same binary was passed multiple
times for use in different dependency fields (-d option).
* Change logic of -si option of dpkg-genchanges to include the original
tarball only if the current upstream version differs from the upstream
version of the previous changelog entry. Replaces the heuristic based
on revision number (-0, -0.1 or -1). Closes: #28701
* Some code refactoring on dpkg-genchanges and bug fixes in the generation
of the Description: field. As a result, source only uploads will no more
have Description fields.
* Add support of wildcard entries in symbols files. This makes it much
simpler to write symbols files for well managed libraries but in that case
dpkg-gensymbols can't check any more if symbols have disappeared.
Closes: #459359
.
[ Updated manpages translations ]
* Fix typo in French. Closes: #460021
* German (Helge Kreutzmann).
.
[ Updated dpkg translations ]
* Basque (Piarres Beobide). Closes: #459565
* French (Christian Perrier).
* German, Basque, Norwegian Bokmål, Swedish, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese,
Galician unfuzzied.
* Russian (Yuri Kozlov). Closes: #460708
.
[ Updated scripts translations ]
* Russian (Yuri Kozlov). Closes: #460708
* Swedish (Peter Karlsson).
