Changes:
dpkg (1.15.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Unset TAR_OPTIONS when extracting .deb archives.
* Use default compressor values in dpkg-source from Dpkg::Source::Compressor.
* Fix dpkg-scanpackages to properly detect spurious overrides.
* Rewrite dpkg-name in perl.
* Do not close already closed files in some error conditions in libdpkg.
* Use the correct units (KiB) in dpkg-split when referring to partsize.
* Document in dpkg-statoverride(8) that mode needs to be specified in
octal. Closes: #534551
* Mark argument names in dpkg-statoverride.1 in italic.
* Explicitly pass field argument to Dpkg::ErrorHandling::unknown().
* Move unknown() from Dpkg::ErrorHandling to Dpkg::Fields.
.
[ Raphael Hertzog ]
* Unset TAR_OPTIONS when creating/extracting tar archives for source
packages. Closes: #530860
* Add cleanup of all invalid (master) alternatives in preinst script.
Closes: #530633, #531611, #532739, #521760
* Let update-alternatives fix a manual alternative with a dangling symlink
by switching it to automatic mode. Closes: #529999
* Add missing paragraph separator in dpkg-buildpackage(1). Thanks to Per
Andersson <avtob...@gmail.com>. Closes: #532769
* Fix english mistake (“as you request” → “as you requested”) in several
places. Thanks to David Stansby for the patch. Closes: #533171
* Support tags before symbols in symbols file contained in source packages.
The first two tags are "optional" (use it to not fail if the symbol might
disappear from the library without breaking the ABI) and "arch" to
restrict the set of architectures where the symbol is supposed to exist.
Thanks to Modestas Vainius <modes...@vainius.eu> for the patch.
See dpkg-gensymbols(1) for more information. Closes: #521551
* Do not include #MISSING lines in symbols files integrated in binary
packages. Closes: #526251
* Assume an implicit version of "Base" for all unversioned symbols
that are merged into a SymbolFile. Closes: #533181
* Add new tag "ignore-blacklist" to force-include symbols which are
normally blacklisted. This can be useful for libgcc to include symbols
that the toolchain allows to be shared but that are often static (and
hence are blacklisted for this reason). Closes: #533642
* In dpkg-source, explicitly pass --keyring ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg to
gpgv as it does not use it if other --keyring parameters are given.
Closes: #530769
* In dpkg-vendor, allow to use dashes instead of spaces in vendor
filenames. Closes: #532222
* Skip dpkg-genchanges' warning about lower version numbers for backports
(recognized by ~bpo or ~vola in their version number). Closes: #525115
* Support all checksum algorithms in dpkg-scanpackages/dpkg-scansources.
Closes: #533828
* Fix dependency parsing code in Dpkg::Deps to not accept "foo\nbar"
even if foo is valid. Closes: #534464
Thanks to Andrew Sayers for spotting the problem.
.
[ Joachim Breitner ]
* Warn about unused substvars in dpkg-gencontrol. Closes: #532760
.
