debram (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Uploaded post-freeze to sid for etch
per Steve Langasek's permission
[http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/09/msg00224.html].
* Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date.
* Updated maint.txt.

debram (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date. * Updated maint.txt.

debram (1.0.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date.
* Empirically observed that the daily refresh of Debian's FTP archive
seemed to run between 18:00 and 22:00 GMT (UTC); that is, that
packages uploaded by 18:00 came early enough for the refresh,
whereas Packages, Sources and Contents files had been built at least
for the i386 and amd64 archs by 22:00 (although these do not
actually appear on the Push-Primary mirrors until several hours
later). Delayed debram's daily changelog timestamp to 22:00 GMT for
this reason. (One could ask A.J. Towns for more precise hours, but
really, the matter does not seem important enough to bother him
about.)
* Planned tentatively to track the amd64 Packages file, in addition to
the i386, for etch+1, but noted that etch debram does not track
packages unavailable in i386.
* Corrected the spelling of [9358 System Administration under Gnome].
* Updated maint.txt.
* Referred to the debram (1.0.0) changelog to explain the upload's
medium urgency.
* Noted that this is probably the last unstable upload toward etch,
but that by Debian Release Manager's permission, one extraordinary
upload toward etch remains planned during the three weeks following
Debian's general freeze. (See the 1.0.0 changelog.)

debram (1.0.0) unstable; urgency=medium
* As proposed in the last changelog, advanced at last to
version 1.0.0.
* Also as proposed in the last changelog, advanced debram's ordinary
upload urgency to the medium level, due to the essential
perishability of debram's data. (The maintainer knows of the
Debian Project's internal development autobuilder sequencing
algorithm, but notes that autobuilder priority is not what motivates
this change. What motivates it is that debram brings perishable
metadata *on other packages,* which puts it in almost a unique
position among Debian packages. Little purpose is served by letting
the metadata languish ten days in unstable. Although debram is
somewhat a bulky package, most of the bulk is data not code.
Debram does not heavily load the autobuilders in any case.)
Observed that significant updates to the debram(1) executable, if
such occurred, would drop the urgency back to low.
* Planned per Steve Langasek's permission
[http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/09/msg00224.html]
to update debram during the three weeks following Debian's general
freeze. Observed that although this will not allow debram perfectly
to track the stable release, it should help significantly, inasmuch
as debram during those three weeks will have an almost stationary
target to track.
* Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date.
* Linked a few more ramification cross-references (See Also).
* Rewrote "Updating the library data" in the manpage again.
* Very slightly revised the commentary in docdata/cmdsel.txt.
* Caused helper/new-debram-body, when it encounters an unknown
maintainer name, to delay dying until it has gathered also all the
other unknown maintainer names which could cause it to die. Let it
print all these names together at once to stderr, in both utf-8 and
iso-8859-1 character encodings.
* Updated maint.txt.

debram (0.7.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date.
* Acknowledged Anoop Rajendra for ramifying some of the new packages.
* Observed that this could be version 1.0.0, but cautiously numbered
it 0.7.x for the moment. Noted that future uploads before the etch
release are likely to be marked urgency=medium, due to their
perishable data.
* Retreated from the post-1.0 version-numbering plan set forth in
the 25 Feb 2006 changelog. (It was a worthy idea, but premature.
The proposal was too rigid for the demands of the present era of
Debian development.) Noted that big future reforms to the
ramification plan would still increment at least the minor version
number, but did not strictly define what might constitute a big
reform.
* For post-release stable ramification updates, undertook not to
depart from the stable version number, but only to add a letter to
it, as "1.2.3a". (See "Updating the library data" in the manpage.
Letters on non-stable numbers will continue to denote experimental
versions, but in the future never on stable numbers. For example,
if Debian stable included debram 1.2.3, then debram 1.2.3a would be
a stable ramification update. An experimental debram would take the
number 1.2.4a.)
* Refined the ramification plan as follows.
- Added the new [1273 Text Indexing and Searching].
- Added the new [1458 General Mathematical Documentation].
- Added the new [1474 Chemistry].
- Retitled [1792 Debian Jr] to [1792 Debian Jr and Edu].
- Added the new [2740 Vserver and Xen].
- Retitled [2790 GNU Hurd] to [2790 GNU Hurd and kFreeBSD].
- Split the old [3187 Other Revision Control] into three new
branches: [3187 Other Centralized Revision Control];
[3188 Arch/Tla/Bazaar]; and [3189 Other Decentralized Revision
Control].
- Retitled [3210 Fortran 77] to [3210 Fortran].
- Added the new [3686 Perl 6] and [3688 GHC Haskell].
- Added the new [4456 Proprietary Input Devices].
- Retitled [4730 PCMCIA, APM and Other Mobile Devices]
to [4730 Notebook Computers], and split it into several branches.
- Replaced the old [6100 Game Programming] division, which had no
groups or branches, with the new [6100 General Game Support and
Programming] division. Subdivided the new division
into [6110 Game Programming], [6160 General Network Game Service],
and [6170 Other General Game Support].
- Added the new [7600 Scripture, Philosophy and Religion] division
with its several groups, all of which were new.
- Added the new [7820 Non-US, Non-GB English].
- Added the new [8420 Mono].
- Retitled [8690 Multicasting and Adaptive Communications]
to [8690 Videoconferencing, Multicasting and Adaptive Comms].
- Retitled [8730 SNMP and Networked Boot Control] and [8740 Bootp /
DHCP] to [8730 SNMP, Clusters and Networked Boot Control]
and [8740 DHCP / Bootp], respectively.
- Added the new [9355 Evolution].
- Retitled [9474 Xfce4] to [9474 Xfce].
- Added the new [9654 X Audio/Music Synthesis].
* Shifted the basic C++ database libraries from 3820 and 3920 to 3840
and 3940.
* Updated the ramification cross-references (See Also).
* Updated the man page.
* Noted here a correction to the previous changelog entry:
s/check-cmdsel-debs.data/cmdsel-debs.data/.
* Slightly corrected docdata/cmdsel.txt and docdata/cmdsel-debs.txt.
* In helper/:
- Slightly updated DescLoc.
- Extended helper/ramify-whatis to work with apt-ftparchive(1)
output.
- Added the new -k option to helper/new-debram-body.
- Added the new -j option to helper/ramify-whatis.
- Added the new script count-deps.
- Added the new script filter-debram-body.
- Added the new script list-words-cont.
* Updated maint.txt.
* Adhered to Policy 3.7.2.

debram (0.6.5a) experimental; urgency=low
* In a change of plan, began to update debram for etch. Noted
that 0.6.5 would not seem to be the last debram, after all.
* Observed that sarge stable users should keep debram 0.6.x installed;
that they should not update to 0.7.x or later, which concern
packages not even in sarge.
* Undertook in and after version 1.0 at least to increment the minor
version number (as from 1.0 to 1.1) when rams move or ram numbers
are reassigned. Noted however that patchlevel incrementation (as
from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1) may still suffice for some smaller changes to
the ramification plan, such as clarifications or small changes to
ram titles and, in some cases, the splitting of existing rams, the
opening of new ones or the removal of obsolete ones. Explained that
the intent in and after 1.0 is to stabilize the ramification plan so
far as the rapid ongoing pace of Debian development permits; yet to
the extent that it does not permit, at least to increment version
numbers appropriately.
* Removed GFDL licensing. (All of debram has been and continues
to be licensed under GPL-2, but for historical reasons parts of
it had been unnecessarily, confusingly been licensed in parallel
under GFDL-1.1, too.)
* Adhered to Policy 3.6.2.1.
* Revised the source generally, the revisions including the following.
- Reorganized the source directories.
- Updated the manpage.
- Revised helper/RelSteps.
- Factored common definitions from the several helper scripts.
- Reformatted the several helper scripts. Made several further
corrections and changes there.
- Pointed readers of debian/copyright to the Debian archive rather
than to the author's personal website for the latest source.
- In src/xref.c, changed "The Ramification's Principal Classes"
to "The Ramification's Principal Sections".
- In src/argp.c, slightly improved the --help list footer.
- Added the new helper/test hierarchy, containing some test data for
the developer's convenience. (What future use such test data
might be put to is not known; for the present only
helper/ramify-whatis is configured to use it.) Noted here that
future changes to helper/test will probably be regarded as too
trivial to burden this changelog with; helper/test will not
normally be tracked here.
- In helper/, added the new scripts find-cmdsel-dupes,
check-cmdsel-debs-data and cmdsel-debs, plus the data file
check-cmdsel-debs.data for the last script.
- Extended helper/check-ram-titles to check cmdsel.txt as well as
debram.txt.
- Fixed helper/buff-expand's response to illegal options.
- Slightly improved helper/Alpha.pm's sorting of names having
several capital letters, so that it correctly sorts "Tm Test"
before "Tm TESTA" despite the capital "E" in the latter.
- Let helper/update-date work also on the README.
- Added appropriate "Notes on the Ramification Numbering System" to
the backmatter of both debram.txt and cmdsel.txt.
* Refined the ramification plan as follows.
- Totally reramified [3600 Perl], from four branches into thirty-one,
largely without regard to the old 3600 ramification plan.
- Similarly totally reramified [3500 Python], from four branches
into twenty-seven.
- Added development notes relevant to the previous two points in the
new file helper/PerlPythonNotes.
- Split the old [1122 Text Scanning and Filtering] into separate
scanning and filtering branches. Consequently, because the
last free number in the [1120 Text Commands] group was the
unsuitable 1129, renumbered the other branches in the group to
make room for the split.
- Split [1211 Compression, Archival and Text/Data Codec] into three
branches: 1211, 1215 and 1217.
- Promoted [1245 Emacs] to a group: 1290. Subramified the new
group.
- Reorganized the [1250 Console and TTY] group.
- Added the new [1315 CUPS].
- Subramified [1320 Fonts].
- Reramified [1350 TeX] from two branches to nine.
- Because [1640 Network Clients and Servers] had no more branch
numbers available, removed [1642 FTP] therefrom, giving it its own
new group: 1630. Reserved the newly available number 1642 for
future use.
- Subramified [2210 Kernel Control and Management of Central
Hardware].
- Added the new [3273 Haskell].
- Retired [4476 X-10], merging its remaining packages
into [4477 Further Unusual or Specialized Devices].
- Shifted [1313 PDF] to 1314, the better to accommodate related
cmdsel.txt numbering .
- Split the new [1276 Gettext] out from ram 1126.
- Split [1115 File Moving, Copying and Naming] into [1115 File
Moving and Naming] and [1116 File Copying].
- Created the new group [3150 Message Passing, ORB, and Interface
Definition], shifting the old ORB rams 3117 and 3147 thereto and
adding the new [3151 Dbus] branch.
- Added the new [8627 Further Network Foundation]. (At the moment,
the branch remains empty, but it is a logical branch and its
analog 1627 in cmdsel.txt is not empty.)
- Subramified [1180 Date and Time].
* Thoroughly revised and updated cmdsel.txt, which naturally lags,
to track Debian 3.1r0a.
* Added version 0.1.1 of the author's otherwise unpackaged DebParse
Perl modules in the new helper/debparse/. (This is not Debram
software as such, but as far as the author knows it has never been
used anywhere but in Debram development, so as it is unpackaged
elsewhere it seems logical to keep it here with the Debram source.)
* Updated the author's e-mail address here, in debian/control,
in src/argp.c, and elsewhere.
* Updated maint.txt.

debram (0.6.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Aggregated the changes in experimental versions 0.6.4a through d
for official release to unstable (see those changelog entries).
* Observed here that although further bugfixes are not impossible,
neither are they expected; and that barring an urgent need,
debram 0.6.5 is expected to the the last debram.
* Offered admins the following counsel.
- Sarge stable admins should install the binaries debram 0.6.4
(distributed with sarge) and debram-data 0.6.5.
- Sarge stable admins may build and install their own local
debram 0.6.5 binaries. This works fine; the source is already
properly backported. However, building one's own debram 0.6.5
binary is unnecessary. If unsure, follow the advice in the
previous point.
- Etch testing and sid unstable admins should install debram 0.6.5
and debram-data 0.6.5. They should also probably install debtags.
- Although etch includes debram, most etch stable admins probably do
not need it. Instead, they can and should install debram's
improved replacement debtags.
- Etch+1 admins (and sid admins in the era following etch's release)
do not need debram and, unless they have some unusual historical
interest, should not install it.
* Observed here that debram, useful for sarge users, is less useful
post-sarge and is planned to be removed from Debian after etch's
release.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Wed, 14 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.6.4d) experimental; urgency=low
* Observed here that this experimental release is a candidate for
0.6.5 release to sid three days to three weeks from today, if no
further bugs emerge in the meantime.
* Updated the FSF's postal address in debian/copyright.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Sat, 03 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.6.4c) experimental; urgency=low
* Observed here that this experimental release is a candidate for
0.6.5 release to sid three days to three weeks from today, if no
further bugs emerge in the meantime.
* Rebuilt debram.txt from the concatenated Packages files included
with the official Debian 3.1r0a i386 CD set. (The concatenated CD
Packages files are substantially similar to the FTP Packages file.
With respect to one or two packages of optional or extra Priority,
however, the CDs and FTP seem to disagree on the exact package
Priority. Why? Don't know. Haven't investigated. The difference
admittedly does not amount to much. Anyway, this debram build
follows the CDs.)
* Slightly modified maint.txt and helper/new-debram-body to handle
correctly the concatenated CD Packages file.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Wed, 31 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.6.4b) experimental; urgency=low
* Taking advantage of the helpful fact that sarge was now stable,
reviewed the ramification top to bottom, correcting two or three
hundred misramifications. Observed that this was meant to be the
last such general review.
* Subdivided the 1740 and 9150 rams.
* Added a few new cross-references between rams.
* Added a new BUILDING text file, setting forth some notes relevant to
users who want to build their own debram packages.
* Added a new helper/RelSteps text file, outlining the steps the
author typically takes in preparing a new debram release.
* Added a minor iconv(3)-like capability to helper/new-debram-body.
* Slightly corrected maint.txt.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Thu, 4 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.6.4a) experimental; urgency=low
* Observed here that this is the first issue after sarge's release.
Noted that the debram-data package issued here is fully compatible
with sarge's debram (0.6.4) package, and that it is expected (and
supported and recommended) that many sarge debram users will upgrade
debram-data but not debram.
* Observed here that the significance of this experimental issue and
of the forthcoming 0.6.5 issue is that, unlike the 0.6.4 issue
actually shipped with sarge, these later issues fully cover sarge.
(The final sarge package list became available only just before
sarge's release, by which time of course it was too late to update
debram-data in sarge. This was expected and planned. Thus this
issue, and the forthcoming 0.6.5.)
* Updated the ramification data to cover all binary packages in sarge
stable main i386.
* Added a few new cross-references between rams. Clarified the title
of ram 8141. Corrected a handful of package misramifications.
* Edited the manpage significantly, reflecting the circumstances
prevailing after sarge's stable release. Among other changes,
- deleted the "Updating the Library Data" section;
- revised the "Bugs" section; and
- added a notice that the -c option does not work well on terminals
with white backgrounds.
* Extended the Document History appropriately at debram.txt's foot.
* Deleted one now unneeded helper script. Slightly improved one or
two of the others.
* To avoid confusion for sarge users upgrading debram-data,
refrained from updating the maintainer's e-mail address here
to <thb@debian.org> (the maintainer is an official Debian Developer
as of this issue).
* Updated maint.txt to include all sarge package maintainers.
* Observed here that the source is fully buildable on a sarge stable
system, without any backporting modification. Undertook to maintain
such clean backportability for all 0.6.x issues.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Sat, 18 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.6.4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Prepared this upload pursuant to
- http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/04/msg00003.html
- http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/04/msg00029.html
- http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/04/msg00161.html
and the discussion threads descending therefrom. Expected this
issue to be the final issue before sarge's release.
* Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date.
* Excepting a handful of packages at their maintainers' request,
purged data for packages not in sarge.
* Updated maint.txt.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:00:00 +0000
debram (0.6.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date.
* Updated maint.txt.
* Added some minor new development helper scripts, including
helper/update-ver and helper/update-date.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Wed, 9 Feb 2005 21:00:00 +0000
debram (0.6.2a) experimental; urgency=low
* Added automatic locale support (with Maciej Dems).
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Thu, 3 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.6.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date.
* Updated maint.txt.
* Implemented debram(1)'s -u option to support utf-8 I/O.
(Maciej Dems' good advice is acknowledged in this.)
* Implemented debram(1)'s -. option.
* Extended the manpage's list of library-data download sites.
* Uncluttered debram(1)'s --help list somewhat by hiding a few
rarely-used options (the manpage still documents them).
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Mon, 24 Jan 2005 21:00:00 +0000
2004
debram (0.6.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date. * Updated maint.txt.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Fri, 3 Dec 2004 21:00:00 +0000
debram (0.6.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Included the new sarge debram.txt, with sarge packages ramified per
the new sarge ramification plan.
* Because debram.txt now presents current data, removed
the "Priority: extra" from debian/control, reverting
to "Priority: optional".
* Reformed the binary packages' Descriptions. In particular, gave
debram-data its own distinct Description and removed the
now-obsolete woody disclaimer.
* Updated the manpage to cover the new sarge data issue.
* Sorted team-maintained packages to the head of each ram,
except "Tm QA" packages, which are sorted to the foot.
* Updated debian/README.
* Updated and extended the development helper scripts.
* At last understanding Colin Watson's suggestion of three months ago,
fixed the various development helper scripts to use FindBin to
locate Perl modules and other files relative to the helper/
directory.
* Updated maint.txt.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Mon, 8 Nov 2004 21:00:00 +0000
debram (0.5.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Reprioritized the list of sites from which users can download future
debram data.
* Applied Gustavo Franco's manpage patch, correcting the reference in
the Files section from /usr/lib/debram/ to /usr/share/debram/
(closes: #276577).
* Updated and shortened the manpage's Bugs section.
* Added appropriate acknowledgements to the manpage's Author section.
* Revised the manpage in several other minor respects.
* Relaxed the source's Build-Dependency on debhelper, making the same
debram source equally buildable on woody, sarge and sid platforms.
* Added the new helper scripts check-maint-addr and check-ram-titles;
added the new -tmT options to the helper script new-debram-body;
fixed the helper script buff-expand, stopping it from touching the
revision timestamps of files it does not alter; edited other
helpers in minor ways.
* Updated maint.txt.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Tue, 26 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.5.1) unstable; urgency=high
* Credited Martin Pitt here for discovering the need for the
following five changes.
* In the debram-data binary, moved debram.txt from
/usr/share/doc/debram-data/ to /usr/share/debram-data/,
to comply with Policy sect 12.3 (closes: #272422).
* In the debram binary, symlinked the platform-
independent `debram.txt.gz' from /usr/share/debram/ rather
than /usr/lib/debram/, to comply with FHS sect 4.7.
* Removed unneeded empty maintainer scripts (debhelper creates
suitable default maintainer scripts automatically).
* To comply with Policy sect 10.1, altered `Makefile' and debian/rules
- always to compile with debugging symbols (except during a
local, non-packaging build), stripping unwanted symbols after
compilation; and
- to respect "noopt" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
* Removed superfluous "configure" target from debian/rules.
* Because data files have moved (see above), controlled debram-data
to Conflict against old debram (<< 0.5.1). (Future debram-data are
to be compatible with any debram (>= 0.5.1). If an incomptatible
debram-data emerged, it would be versioned at least 0.7.)
* Slightly simplified the binary package interdependencies per
Giacomo Catenazzi's advice.
* To avoid abusing the present "urgency=high" upload, deferred
further, non-urgent changes.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Mon, 20 Sep 2004 22:30:00 +0000
debram (0.5.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Undertook not to change the format of `debram.txt' in 0.5.x or
0.6.x, thus enabling users (per Giacomo Catenazzi's suggestion)
later to install new `debram-data' packages or even just to load new
`debram.txt' files without upgrading the `debram' package. For this
reason, incremented the minor version number to 0.5.
* Planned to number the upcoming complete sarge ramification 0.6, to
distinguish it from the present 0.5 which lacks complete sarge
coverage.
* Because the debram binary package no longer depends on a specific
version of debram-data, gave debram its own copies of the copyright
and changelog.gz files. (Refer to Policy sects 12.5 and 12.7.)
* Restricted the package license to GPL version 2, rather than GPL
version 2 or later, thus withdrawing from the FSF its unique
privilege to extend the license.
* Implemented debram(1)'s -t option.
* Added to the man page instructions on finding and installing the
complete sarge ramification data, when they become available.
* Extended the man page's Quick Start section. Also, had the man page
refer contributors to debtags-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org rather
than to Thaddeus. Edited and updated the page in a few other minor
ways.
* Merged into debian/rules Giacomo Catenazzi's patch to clean stray
build stamps.
* Added a HISTORY file per Enrico Zini's suggestion.
* With Nick Lewycky's help, made the scripts `helper/new-debram-body'
and `helper/sort-maint' fully relocatable.
* Updated `maint.txt'.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Mon, 2 Aug 2004 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Observed here that this issue is principally a minor bugfix issue,
and that more substantive modifications are deliberately held back
against the apparent imminence of Debian sarge's release. (Felt
that a risk of introducing new bugs along with new features seemed a
poor gamble at the moment.)
* Disambiguated ram 8657's title from "Other Mail" (which was also
ram 1657's title) to "Other Mail Transport".
* Unswapped debram(1)'s seldom-used --data-file and --data-file-gz
command-line options.
* Corrected `prdeb.c' print_deb()'s inadvertent wasting of one
available output column under the `-w' command-line option.
* Fixed `conv.c' undot()'s edge-case handling.
* Improved the source code's style slightly in a handful of spots.
* Updated `maint.txt'; corrected one maintainer's name
in `debram.txt'.
* Corrected and extended the helper script `helper/new-debram-body''s
documentation.
* Added to the manpage's Bugs section additional remarks about the
debram's future plans.
* Conformed to Standards Version 3.6.1.

debram (0.4.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected `debian/control' to include a build-dependency
on `zlib1g-dev'. Closes #231100.

debram (0.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Incremented the version number to 0.4.0 for sponsor Giacomo
Catenazzi's upload to Debian's unstable archive. Updated the
various package dates, histories and version notations accordingly
but made no other changes to the package.

debram (0.3.1e) experimental; urgency=low
* Corrected and neatened `helper/new-debram-body' in several small
ways. Improved its error messages generally. Added and documented
the useful new "unknown maintainer" error message. Added the -w
option.
* Updated `maint.txt'.
* Updated the manpage's Bugs section.
* Added some nomenclature to the manpage's Ramification section.

debram (0.3.1d) experimental; urgency=low
* Removed the `author/' directory and added the new `helper/'
directory. The old directory had contained undocumented scripts and
other files which probably were useless to anyone but the author.
The new directory contains documented scripts and files potentially
useful to any debram developer.
* In `debian/control', added explicit Section and Priority data to
each binary paragraph; removed the Enhances datum.
* Updated `maint.txt' to include all the names of sarge's current
maintainers. (Debian sarge is in testing at the time of this
writing.)
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.3.1c) experimental; urgency=low
* Removed `author/author.tar'.
* Corrected FTP link in `debian/copyright'.
* Per Giacomo Catenazzi's suggestion, added error checking to all the
program's calls to malloc(3) and calloc(3). (See `alloc.h'.)
* Conformed to Standards Version 3.5.10.
* Configured the source to build with debhelper 4.1. (This means that
the source now builds for sarge only, not woody. Debian 3.0 woody
users should install the old debram 0.3.1.)
* Retagged `cmdsel.txt' for doc-base.

2003
debram (0.3.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Tracked Debian's 3.0r2 issue.
* Slightly altered the sorting of package names within a ram, letting
packages from the same source appear sequentially.
* Corrected five or six misramifications.
* Because the debram's own control file refers to them, added
packages `debram-data' and `debtags' (`debram' had already been
added in 0.2.0).
* Corrected color output to xterm(1).
* Noted here for historical interest that a debram 0.1.0 did exist,
but that it consisted solely of the unpackaged file `cmdsel.txt'.
Its issue date was 29 May 2002. While it was not then a Debian
package and was not called `debram', it is the direct antecedent of
today's debram package.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Fri, 26 Dec 2003 00:00:00 +0000
debram (0.3.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Recast the source as a native Debian package.
* Split the data files away into a separate, architecture-independent
binary package `debram-data'.
* Added new -1 and -s options to debram(1).
* Extended debram(1)'s -T option to enhance -d and -m.
* Extended debram(1)'s -d and -m options to accept ram specification.
* Trimmed and updated debram(1)'s manpage.
-- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org> Mon, 15 Dec 2003 13:14:07 +0000
debram (0.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Initial Release.
