doc-base (0.7.21) unstable; urgency=low
* doc-base.sgml:
+ bless a few documentation formats: PDF, PostScript, Info, and DVI,
which are already often used in the doc-base files
+ the `Index' field is required for the Info format.
* install-docs:
+ support the above mentioned formats
+ warn if info format lacks the `Index' field.
* install-docs: Some fixes for dhelp support:
+ when registering the doc files, don't remove the old .dhelp file until
it's actually read and parsed. This partially fixes Bug#204195 (the full
fix would probably require not removing .dhelp files when doc-base documents
are unregistered)
+ don't HTML-encode entries already read from .dhelp file
+ made 'howto' and 'faq' section names uppercase.
* debian/postinst: Reregister all the doc-base files.

2001
doc-base (0.7.11) unstable; urgency=low
* incorporate NMU (closes: #111703, #114657) * strengthen the wording of the prerm case -- for people getting dpkg: warning - unable to delete old file `directory': Directory not empty due to old .dhelp files, please read section 2.4 (closes: #59850) * some other minor updates in the documentation * debian/control: upgrade to standards version to 3.5.6, no changes needed - Note that the stipulation that programs cannot reference files in /usr/share/doc [13.3] is not honored because that is required by dhelp; complaints about that should be directed towards dhelp.

1999
doc-base (0.7.7) unstable; urgency=low
* really update Policy standards to 3.0.1
* dhelp now has a different program, dhelp_parse_fsstnd, to deal with
/usr/doc vs /usr/share/doc, so use it
* debian/control: conflict with dhelp (<< 0.3.14)
* prerm, postinst: implement tech committe solution on /usr/doc symlink
-- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org> Sat, 25 Sep 1999 16:34:11 -0400
doc-base (0.7.6) unstable; urgency=low
* add perl5 depends (closes: Bug#44623)
-- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org> Fri, 10 Sep 1999 21:37:01 -0400
doc-base (0.7.5) unstable; urgency=low
* update Policy standards to 3.0.1
* debian/rules: move documentation area back to /usr/doc for now;
clean is a bit cleaner
* maintainer scripts: simplify a bit; call 'install-docs -r' from
preinst for upgrade from 0.7.4 (dir move) to avoid the dpkg warning
(closes Bug#41785, #41161, #41326)
* install-docs: prior to installing new docreg file, remove any already
installed dhelp files -- this will help with the /usr/doc ->
/usr/share/doc transition, although it won't suppress the dpkg
warning, since 'install-docs -i' runs after the warning
* doc-base.sgml: talk about how to avoid the dpkg warning about
'Directory not empty' due to .dhelp file left around during upgrade;
the solution in short is to run 'install-docs -r' during 'upgrade' in
prerm
-- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org> Sat, 14 Aug 1999 21:32:55 -0400

doc-base (0.7.3) unstable; urgency=low
* doc-base.sgml: fix typo (closes Bug#35986)
* install-docs: only warn about unknown formats if verbose ('-v') is in
effect (closes Bug#33509, Bug#35947, and hopefully quells the recent
outcry on debian-devel)
* debian/rules: debiandoc2text now has a default extension of .txt,
which is better anyway, so use that
-- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org> Thu, 13 May 1999 01:25:06 -0400

-- Adam P. Harris <aph@debian.org> Mon, 1 Jun 1998 01:49:50 -0400
doc-base (0.7.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* maintainer scripts: one of the shell function used '-', which was
renamed to '_'; shell for maintainer scripts set back to /bin/sh
* doc-base.sgml: update the FSF address
* copyright: list myself as maintainer
* bump standards version to 2.4.1.0 (checked)
* add digit to version number: 0.7.x will be for hamm maintenance
(branched); probably 0.8 will be for our documentation drafts
including information on the Debian Document Hierarchy, the new docreg
file format documentation and system, and other documents; 0.9 will
probalby contain our implementations of these new infrastructures for
slink; and eventually it'll all be a done deal and we'll hit 1.0.
-- Adam P. Harris <aph@debian.org> Sun, 3 May 1998 09:05:23 -0400
doc-base (0.6) frozen unstable; urgency=low

more reports to come until this makes it into the archive)

doc-base (0.5) frozen unstable; urgency=low

document id was misnamed install-doc-man
* improve the maintainer scripts immensely, trying to minimize removal,

* doc-base.sgml: update TODO list
-- Adam P. Harris <aph@debian.org> Fri, 17 Apr 1998 01:17:06 -0400
doc-base (0.4) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* much better dhelp support: be sure to run 'dhelp_parse -d' before
altering a .dhelp file, multiple <item>s in one .dhelp file, and very
good parsing of existing .dhelp files in case more than one
document-id is adding a files in the same directory (closes
Bug#18808, Bug#20038, Bug#20529)
* we now will modify even foreign .dhelp files
* lowercase sections for dhelp (only), and remove leading 'Apps/', which
is a workaround until we have a real, policy-specified and thought-out
documentation hierarchy (closes Bug#20862)
* register install-docs man page, html version
* moved Section for our own documentation from Apps/Programming to
Debian
-- Adam P. Harris <aph@debian.org> Thu, 16 Apr 1998 06:27:08 -0400
doc-base (0.3) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* add manual page for install-docs
* debian/rules: clarifications and cleanup
* added frozen to distribution ("oopsie" on last version)
* install-docs is idempotent for --remove, that is, if you try to remove
a docid which is already removed, it exits with a warning, but not a
non-zero exit status (closes Bug#19875, I think)
-- Adam P. Harris <aph@debian.org> Thu, 9 Apr 1998 20:36:00 -0400
