     (Closes: #373646)

     that patch has been obsolete and non-existant for ages.

     em8300-source.
   * Make kernel dependency in em8300-modules unversioned.
   * Have em8300-source recommend bzip2 (it's kinda useless if you can't extract
     it).

   * Change microcode download failure notification template type to error
     (Closes: #388891)

   * Don't try to generate device nodes when udev or devfs is running.
   * Move em8300 firmware to /lib/firmware. (Closes: #341313)
   * Remove support for multiple firmwares (most users won't need it, not worth
     the effort).

     + Add mention in README of how to fix it for such kernels.
   * Modify debian/watch to support new "nofirmware" upstream release series.
     + Drop the dfsg label since upstream supplies us with a dfsg version.

     to handle upgrade path from oldstable packages, not necessary.
   * Update the 10_modules_em8300_header patch for modules/em8300_alsa.c.

     debconf note instead if they need to be created on a static /dev.
   * Unregister the old em8300/make_devices template.
   * Reorganize em8300.config and em8300.postinst.
   * Do not ship an empty and now useless /usr/share/em8300 in em8300.

     package.
   * The module package now recommends em8300 >= 0.16.0-1 because of the
     ALSA configuration file.

     debian-l10n-english, thanks to MJ Ray.

   * When building modules, if $(I2C_LOCATION) is set, ensure that the i2c

     corresponding manpages.
   * Remove useless perl scripts from /usr/share/em8300 (in package
     em8300).
   * Capitalize first letter in short descriptions of debconf
     templates. This is against Branden's advice, but most debconf
     templates are capitalized, and I'd rather see things being consistent
     in Sarge.
   * Rewrite debconf templates to better english, thanks to Andre
     Lehovich.
   * Add french translation of debconf templates, thanks to Christian
     Perrier for the initial translation.

 -- Nicolas Boullis <nboullis@debian.org>  Wed, 22 Oct 2003 02:23:22 +0200

em8300 (0.13.0-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Ensure the em8300/microcode/download_failed note is actually
     displayed/sent each time the download fails by setting the seen flag
     to false beforehand.
   * Remove -g from the module build options as that leads to a huge module
     with gcc-3.2 or gcc-3.3.
   * Add conflicts in em8300-headers against versions of dvb-dev that add a
     /usr/include/linux/em8300.h file as well. (Closes: #211313)
   * Remove include/linux/em8300.h from source tarball in em8300-source and
     depend on em8300-headers instead as it is more convenient for people
     who need to change the major number used by the driver.
   * Nuke all libdxr3 packages as, according to upstream, it was not kept
     up to date, and nothing uses it.
   * Write a new README.Debian file for the package em8300, that explains
     how to change the major number used by the em8300 driver.
   * Write a manpage for em8300setup. (Closes: #192799)
   * Rewrite debconf templates to better english, thanks to Aaron M. Ucko,
     Ben Foley, Christian Perrier, and Branden Robinson.

 -- Nicolas Boullis <nboullis@debian.org>  Fri, 10 Oct 2003 00:54:13 +0200

em8300 (0.13.0-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * The "back to unstable" release.
   * Apply some changes that were suggested by Joey Hess. (Thanks again, Joey.)
     - Merge the em8300/microcode/download and em8300/chipset debconf
       templates into a block.
     - Trust dh_installdebconf to find the correct versionned dependency on
       debconf.
     - No need to call db_purge "by hand" in postrm script:
       dh_installdebconf already does this.
   * Add quotes around filenames generated by tempfile, as it may contain
     spaces if $TMPDIR does.
   * Since 0.13.0-2, maintainer script do not try to force anything into
     modules options. (Closes: #192757)

 -- Nicolas Boullis <nboullis@debian.org>  Sat, 20 Sep 2003 00:38:00 +0200

em8300 (0.13.0-3) experimental; urgency=low

   * The "thank you Joey" release.
   * Download microcode from upstream web site rather that CVS, and update
     debconf template accordingly. Thanks to David Holm for putting this
     microcode there.
   * Add wget to em8300's depends. Thanks to Joey Hess for noticing this.
   * Rewrite some debconf templates thanks to Joey Hess.
   * Add some fallback if download fails. (Asked by Joey Hess.)
   * Removed the unused README files from previous maintainer and write a
     new one.
   * Rewrite config script to support backing up. (Asked by Joey Hess.)

 -- Nicolas Boullis <nboullis@debian.org>  Sun, 14 Sep 2003 01:45:39 +0200

em8300 (0.13.0-2) experimental; urgency=low

   * Split em8300-headers out of libdxr3-dev.
   * Revert the main/contrib split until everything is properly sorted
     out.
   * Clean up debian/ dir in source package.
   * Removed the init.d script and rely on kmod to load the modules when
     needed. (Closes: #192757)
   * Completely rewrite maintainer scripts:
     - Do not try to extract microcodes from widows drivers. (Closes: #165090)
     - Ask to download a working microcode for upstream CVS instead.
     - Merge /etc/modutils/adv717x into /etc/modutils/em8300.
     - Use ucf to maintain /etc/modutils/em8300.
     - Ask for permission to generate special device files.
     - Switch to po-debconf.

em8300 (0.13.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Hijack. (Closes: #190269)
   * Also delete microcode*.bin from /usr/lib/em8300 while purging em8300:
     those files were misgenerated instead of {adv,bt}_mcode*.bin because
     of a bug in em8300-mc_ex. (Closes: #180225)
   * Acknowledge my own NMU + close bugs I forgot to close. (Closes:
     #164885, #165401, #165458, #165470, #166997, #167779, #169511,
     #169546, #171343)
 
   * debian/control:
     - Rewrote the short descriptions and adapted the long ones.
       (Closes: #165076)
     - Rename libdxr30 to libdxr3-0 (as it is libdxr3 version 0) and
       libdxr30-dev to libdxr3-dev.
     - Add transition packages.
     - Move em8300-source, libdxr3-0, libdxr3-dev and the source package from
       contrib to main.
     - Move libdxr3-0 to section libs and libdxr3-dev to libdevel.
 
   * em8300-source:
     - append the debian revision number of the kernel to the version of
       the generated modules package.
     - the built module is useless without the corresponding kernel, so
       depend on it instead of only recommending it.
     - there's no need for the built module to depend on perl; remove the
       dependency.
     - the module should hopefuly be buildable on any architecture. (Well,
       only linux-based architectures in fact...)
     - change the shipped Makefile from to configure the default audio mode
       and videomode from /etc/em8300-source (or ~/.em8300-source) and
       actually ship a default configuration file. (Closes: #165947)
     - remove a misplaced Build-Depend from the Package section of the
       debian/control file inside the source tarball.

     access). The documentation target shall be run before upload.

   * Removed buid-dependency on html2text and docbook-to-man .

em8300 (0.12.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Initial Release with modified tar ball since the legal state of the
     microcode that is found in upstreams sources is unknown from my
     point of view. So I drop it to avoid any legal issues.
