Changes since the last upload:
* New upstream release:
- Detects ICU with pkg-config (Closes: #915714).
- SONAME change: libgnustep-base1.25 -> 1.26.
* Remove patches applied upstream:
- portmessage-msgid.patch;
- icu-60.patch;
- hurd-systemuptime.patch.
* debian/patches/pkg-config-macro.patch: Remove hunks applied upstream
(that is, all of them). However, upstream opted to cater for ancient
pkg-config which does not provide the PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG macro and
this approach still triggers a lintian warning; update accordingly.
* debian/patches/fix-spelling-error.patch: Refresh.
* debian/patches/fix-tests-network.patch: Refresh and mark 2 more tests
as hopeful (GSXML).
* debian/patches/series: Update.
* debian/compat: Bump to 12.
* debian/templates/control.m4 (Build-Depends): Bump debhelper
requirement to match the compat level.
(Standards-Version): Claim compliance with 4.3.0; no changes needed.
* debian/control: Regenerate, reflecting the SONAME change.
* debian/rules: Replace all occurrences of "messages=yes" with
"$(verbose)" to support "terse" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
(v_make): Bump to 2.7.0-4 for "terse" support.
(override_dh_installinit): Also pass --no-start (Closes: #913914).
(override_dh_auto_install-indep): Delete duplicate or otherwise
unnecessary files which trigger lintian warnings.
(override_dh_compress): Remove; not necessary with compat 12.
* debian/upstream/signing-key.asc: Minimize.
* debian/gnustep-base-doc.lintian-overrides: New; override
package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc for a node from
the Texinfo manual in HTML format; it is in GNUSTEP_DOC on purpose.
* debian/gbp.conf: New file.
* debian/templates/gnustep-base-runtime.install.in: Add usr/share/man as
all manpages are installed by the upstream build system; there's no
need to install them explicitly.
* debian/gnustep-base-runtime.manpages: Delete; not really necessary.
* debian/not-installed: New file; explicitly list all files which are
not installed on purpose.
* debian/copyright: Add explicit entry for Source/Additions/Unicode.m,
which is now (a portion of) under the Expat license and copyrighted by
Bjoern Hoehrmann. Bump copyright years for Debian packaging. There
were copyrightable changes upstream in 2018 but these are not actually
reflected in the source files so leave statements as they are.
* debian/clean: Update for the new SONAME.
