Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
.dsc files haven't always had a Format field. It was introduced in dpkg
1.6.13, in May 2000. This means that it's still not entirely
implausible to run across source packages without Format, for example
when importing the history of a source package into revision control. I
found one here:
http://snapshot-dev.debian.org/package/nethack-spoilers/3.2.2-1/
dpkg-source fails to unpack this with:
dpkg-source.pl: error: missing critical source control field Format
When the Format field was introduced, it was just in preparation for
future changes, not accompanying a format change itself. Thus,
dpkg-source should treat a missing Format field as 1.0, for
compatibility with these old packages.

Changes:

.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix two memory leaks introduced in 1.15.6.
* Always use C99 variadic macros, as the build requires them anyway, we
avoid exposing the configure variable HAVE_C99 on installed headers.
* Use __attribute__ keyword depending on compiler support, we avoid
exposing the configure variable HAVE_C_ATTRIBUTE on installed headers.
* Do not allow a --retry schedule in start-stop-daemon where forever is
the last item, as it needs something to repeat over. Closes: #570938
* Show dselect dependency/conflicts resolution screen again, by switching
the code to use STL's min() and max() instead of preprocessor macros, to
avoid multiple evaluation of arguments. Regression introduced in 1.15.6.
Based on a patch by Robert Luberda <[email protected]>. Closes: #574816
* Defer the fsync and rename for normal files in tar extraction so that
it's done in one pass afterwards, to avoid massive I/O degradation due to
the serialization from each write + fsync. This restores extraction times
to numbers closer to the ones before the fsync patch introduced in 1.15.6.

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Accept source packages without "Format" field for compatibility with very
old source packages. Thanks to Colin Watson for the report and the patch.
