equivs (2.0.7-0.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/control: bump Standards-Version to 3.7.3, no changes needed

2006

equivs (2.0.7) unstable; urgency=low

   * New maintainer.  (Closes: #350835)
   * Acknowledge NMU.  (Closes: #201852, #218443, #237963, #251547)
   * Add file COPYING, the GNU GPL v2, to top level of source tree.
   * Update both build-time and runtime use of debhelper to v4.
     (Closes: #320619)
   * debian/copyright, debian/rules: cleanups
   * debian/control:
     - standards version 3.6.2 (no changes needed)
     - rewrite description
     - drop 'perl5' alternative dependency; the perl5 package disappeared
       about 3 release cycles ago
   * template/debian/copyright: update FSF address.
   * template/debian/control.in: edit description, set maintainer to
     root@localhost, update standards version, add correct debhelper
     Build-Depends
   * template/debian/rules: streamline somewhat.
   * equivs-build: support Replaces: field.  (Closes: #118526)
   * equivs-build, template/debian/README.Debian.in:
     use "@" instead of the ISO-8859-1 section symbol for the variable
     escapes, to make life slightly easier for users of other charsets.
     - equivs-build.pod: update (and fix) the documentation for this
   * equivs-build: allow comments in control file.
     - template.ctl: comment out most of the entries, to save the user some
       time in common cases.  Also mention that packages lists are all
       comma-separated.
   * equivs-build: Lots of code cleanups.  Highlights:
     - Use File::Temp::tempdir.  This removes the dir upon normal exit.  On
       abend, tell the user where it is so she can examine and remove it.
     - Print usage message to STDERR, not STDOUT
     - Actually bother to close all the files we open
     - die with "\n".  I doubt users care about source code line numbers.
     - 3-arg open(), multi-arg system(), and in general try to look less
       like Perl 4
     - Delete outdated or useless comments, commented-out code, unneeded
       variables, and redundant integrity checks
     - Eliminate most use of global variables
     The net effect is to shrink the file by about 20%.

             make-equivs to equivs-build

 -- Martin Bialasinski <martinb@debian.org>  Sun, 18 Apr 1999 15:24:35 +0200

equivs (1.999.3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Make the config parse routine chop trailing whitespace

     Fixes #31670
   * Fixed spelling error in description
   * Added a small check, if the equivs directory is not a symlink
     before removing it
   * Changed Depends: fakeroot to Depends: libtricks | fakeroot, until a new
     version of libtricks is released, which provides fakeroot (#31682)

 -- Martin Bialasinski <martinb@debian.org>  Wed, 6 Jan 1999 21:13:37 +0100

     correctly
   * Fixes wishlist bug #27215

 -- Martin Bialasinski <martinb@debian.org>  Wed, 6 Jan 1999 13:24:59 +0100

equivs (1.999.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New Maintainer
   * Complete rewrite. Instead recreating the equivs package, one now
     creates new fake packages
   * No problem with apt anymore. To apt, the information fetched from
     it's sources has precedence over information hold localy by dpkg.
     So a recompiled equivs packages was not recognised correctly.
   * Changed versionnumber to a debian-only one.

 -- Martin Bialasinski <martinb@debian.org>  Mon, 4 Jan 1999 12:35:16 +0100

1998

   * Upgraded to standards version 2.4.0.0 (no changes).
   * Minor changes to tar routine in debian/rules to make it more reliably.
   * Closing Bug#18921 which was already addressed in former releases.

 -- Paul Seelig <pseelig@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de>  Sun, 22 Feb 1998 07:49:23 +0100

equivs (1.0.5-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added correct FSF postal address into debian/copyright as
     suggested by lintian check.

 -- Paul Seelig <pseelig@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de>  Sun, 22 Feb 1998 07:49:23 +0100

equivs (1.0.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Complete overhaul (and hopefully simplification) of "equivs".
   * Updated README.debian with a clearer description of the package's
     usage and instructions on how to remove it again. I hope "equivs"
     is pretty foolproof by now.
   * Changed debian/rules and the preinst/postinst files to use the
     configuration file "/etc/equivs.conf".
   * Added debian/purge file.

 -- Paul Seelig <pseelig@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de>  Sat, 07 Feb 1998 16:34:32 +0100

equivs (1.0.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Changed "Architecture: any" to "Architecture: all" in control file since
     there is no compiled binary included. This closes bug #16878.
   * Minor changes to debian/rules.

 -- Paul Seelig <pseelig@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de>  Fri, 16 Jan 1998 15:04:03 +0100

1997

   * Made equivs install it's own source into /usr/src/
   * Put equivs into section admin with priority optional
   * Added warnings about possible damage of package dependencies if
     mindlessly used.

equivs (1.0.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added a small description of the build procedure to the README.debian
     file upon proposal of <Martin.Bialasinski@uni-koeln.de>.
 
   * Added credit to Markus Dickebohm <m.dickebohm@uni-koeln.de> for the
     information which enabled me to make up this package. ;-)
 
   * Various changes to debian/rules so that the current configuration is
     added to the documentation as "/usr/doc/equivs/current.conf".

 -- Paul Seelig <pseelig@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de>  Mon, 29 Sep 1997 22:24:03 +0100

equivs (1.0.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
