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 - 3-arg open(), multi-arg system(), and in general try to look less like Perl 4 - Delete outdated or useless comments, commented-out code, unneeded variables, and redundant integrity checks - Eliminate most use of global variables The net effect is to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%.

use own files

Fixes #31670
* Fixed spelling error in description
* Added a small check, if the equivs directory is not a symlink

correctly

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.

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.

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

information which enabled me to make up this package. ;-)

added to the documentation as "/usr/doc/equivs/current.conf".
