dpkg-repack (1.29) unstable; urgency=low

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 15 May 2003 13:58:08 -0400

1999

dpkg-repack (1.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Removed more historical cautions in the man page.
   * Dragged screaming and kicking into the world of perl5. Now -w and use
     strict safe; lots of cleanups. Still needs a bit of a rewrite.
   * Can repack multiple packages in sequence now.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 17 Dec 1999 19:00:07 -0800

dpkg-repack (1.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Build deps.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 4 Dec 1999 00:52:53 -0800

dpkg-repack (1.0) unstable; urgency=low

   * FHS
   * Integrated into my cvs build system.
   * It occurs to me that this is a pretty stable package, so I
     bumped the version number to 1.0.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 10 Sep 1999 21:19:21 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.25) unstable; urgency=low

   * Depend on gcc, because it uses dpkg --build which brain-deadly requires
     dpkg be present (and of course dpkg doesn't depend on gcc..)
     (Closes: #40985)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 8 Jul 1999 11:20:26 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.24) unstable; urgency=low

   * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
     seems to make sense for the transition.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 4 Jul 1999 10:57:57 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.23) unstable; urgency=low

   * Quote another regexp (#39955).

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 22 Jun 1999 09:35:46 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.22) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added note to an error message that fakeroot may be used.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 8 Apr 1999 21:16:22 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.21) unstable; urgency=low

   * Use --print-installation-architecture instead of --print-architecture
     (#31738)
   * Link to new homepage in the README.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 11 Jan 1999 13:04:49 -0800

1998

dpkg-repack (0.20) unstable; urgency=low

   * Changed how I disable locales when running dpkg -l - now set LC_ALL=C.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 17 Jun 1998 12:27:16 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.19) unstable; urgency=low

   * Version 0.16 broke repacking packages that had diverted files in them,
     because of how dpkg -L shows that info. (#23339). It turns out that
     older versions of dpkg-repack packed up not the original file, but the
     file that was diverted to replace it. I've decided that is incorrect
     behavior, and changed it so if there is a diversion, the original file is
     placed in the repacked package.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 13 Jun 1998 17:35:22 -0700

dpkg-repack (0.18) unstable; urgency=low

   * Removed some debugging output I accidentially put in the last version.
   * Workes now for packages that have filenames with spaces in them (like
     maelstrom).
   * Checged the descripton to remove the "attempts to". It should always
     work. (heh)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 28 May 1998 06:14:27 -0400

dpkg-repack (0.17) unstable; urgency=low

   * Uses dpkg for querying the status file and getting the file list, rather
     than doing it by hand. However, dpkg-repack still accesses the dpkg
     database directly, becuase it copies maintainer scripts, etc, from
     there. There is no way to get that information via dpkg.
   * Fixed  bug #22603 - a failure when eg. /usr is a symlink.
     .
     If the package contains a file, that locally looks like a symlink
     pointing to a directory that is not in the package, then change it to a
     real directory in the repacked package. This assummes that in this case,
     the symlink was a local change (eg, /usr is a symlink).
     .
     However, if the directory in question contains no files in the filelist
     for this package, don't do that, just preserve the symlink in the repacked
     package. This handles the case where a package contains a symlink to a
     directory elsewhere.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 26 May 1998 07:02:14 -0400

dpkg-repack (0.16) frozen unstable; urgency=low

   * Handle directories that are symlinks properly (#20280).

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 26 Mar 1998 22:30:35 -0800

dpkg-repack (0.15) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fixed minor lintian errors.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 14 Mar 1998 20:00:09 -0800

dpkg-repack (0.14) unstable; urgency=low

   * Updated fsf address.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 9 Feb 1998 12:54:00 -0800

dpkg-repack (0.13) unstable; urgency=low

   * Depend on perl 5.004 or greater (For Getopt::Long).

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 17 Jan 1998 02:12:58 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.12) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added option to make it build a debian package of a different
     architecture than the default. (#17173)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 16 Jan 1998 11:18:35 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.11) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix bug #17053, the first package listed in the status file can be
     repacked now.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 13 Jan 1998 14:16:17 -0500

1997

dpkg-repack (0.10) unstable; urgency=low

   * Don't include file list file in package. (Removes "contained list as info
     file" error from dpkg when you install dpkg-repacked packages.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 27 Nov 1997 23:26:07 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Force the umask to 022 (#14516).
   * Use debhelper.
   * Be a bit more positive that the package will work in the description,
     since it seems to have worked pretty much ok for a year.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 4 Nov 1997 01:08:39 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

   * Routine update of debian/rules:
     Fixed binary-indep target.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 4 Sep 1997 19:30:13 -0400

dpkg-repack (0.7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Moved it into unstable.
   * Changed the program so it puts its temporary directory and the result
     .deb file into the current directory, instead of /tmp. This is the same
     as alien works, and I made this change mainly so you can repack some
     large package on a spare partition when it won't fit on the partition
     that contains /tmp.
   * Added --root=<dir> option, to make it operate on the filesystem rooted at
     <dir>.
   * Remove temporary directory when done.
   * Man page fixes.
   * Added proper error trapping and handling.
   * Added progress messages.
   * Routine update of debian/rules:
     Run dpkg-gencontrol after debstd, and delete substvars during clean.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 26 Jun 1997 18:54:40 -0400

dpkg-repack (0.6) experimental; urgency=low

   * Fixed problem with packaging dangling symlinks.
   * Fixed permissions files when creating directories.
   * Add Architecture: field to the control file.
   * Removed some debugging info that was left in by mistake.
   * Routine update of debian/rules:
     Run dpkg-gencontrol after debstd, and delete substvars during clean.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 6 Apr 1997 15:11:25 -0400

dpkg-repack (0.5) experimental; urgency=high

   * Oops! This package was not meant to be in unstable. It's supposed to be
     in experimental.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 20 Mar 1997 01:59:04 -0500

dpkg-repack (0.4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Use /var/lib/dpkg/status, not /var/lib/dpkg/available.
   * Routine update of debian/rules:
     Clean up junk files in subdirs.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 17 Mar 1997 16:39:05 -0500
