2005

flex-old (2.5.4a-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Bug fix: "flex-old: FTBFS: Cannot install docs", thanks to Daniel
     Schepler                                              (Closes: #318532).

2003

flex-old (2.5.4a-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * FTBFS: missing build-depends. Bah. The buildd's do not respect
     Build-Depends-Indep. Duplicated the dependency into Build-Depends as a
     workaround for this buildd flaw. Also added file as a
     build-dependency.                                     (Closes: #224388).

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Tue, 23 Dec 2003 14:22:46 -0600

flex-old (2.5.4a-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Bug fix: "flex-old: Info pages don't display the full version number",
     thanks to Akim Demaille. Since the 2.5.31 info pages do, this brings
     the flex-old package back in sync.                   (Closes: #223797).

flex-old (2.5.4a-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Sigh. Really remove acinclude.m4, since it makes autoconf fail to
     run.

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Mon, 1 Sep 2003 14:45:17 -0500

flex-old (2.5.4a-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fixed usage of chown root.root in the rules files.
   * Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to .configure.in so that automatic remaking
     does not occur.                                         closes: Bug#208190
   * removed acinclude.m4, reran aclocal, and reran autoconf, to update the
     auto-* files.

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Mon, 1 Sep 2003 13:11:17 -0500

flex-old (2.5.4a-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Created a new package called flex-old so that people who have not yet
     changed their lex files (or can't change them) and thus can't build
     with the new flex have an option. This is a dead-end package, and
     shall be removed at some point in the future.

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Sun, 4 May 2003 13:45:09 -0500

flex (2.5.4a-33) unstable; urgency=low

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@acm.org>  Fri, 21 Mar 2003 13:00:19 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-32) unstable; urgency=low

   * There was a blank line in initscan.c that made it impossible to build
     on buildds.                                              closes: Bug#185772

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@acm.org>  Fri, 21 Mar 2003 12:34:13 -0600

   * Fix flex.skl                                             closes: Bug#184393

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@acm.org>  Fri, 21 Mar 2003 00:57:21 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-30) unstable; urgency=low

   * FlexLexer.h now include iostream, not iostream.h.
                                                  closes: Bug#173943, Bug#180051
   * Fix broken printf format                                 closes: Bug#174350
   * The behaviour of flex was different based on what order options were
     specified: option nomain before option noyywrap caused one set of
     behaviours, reversing the order changes the behaviour, since nomain
     seemed to reset noyywrap. This was fixed in scanl. and initscan.c.
                                                              closes: Bug#174259

flex (2.5.4a-28) unstable; urgency=low

   * Anotrher patch from Alexander Klauer, this one fixes a print format
     problem.                                                 closes: Bug#161101

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Tue, 29 Oct 2002 17:35:13 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-27) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix a flex segfult on very long lines. Many thanks to  Alexander
     Klauer <Graf.Zahl@gmx.net> for detecting this bug and finding the
     fix.                                                     closes: Bug#158518
   * The package seems to build from sources on i386.         closes: Bug#159547

   * Fixed a problem with locales in flex. Many thanks to
     witchery@www.oz.or.kr and unichi Uekawa <dancer@netfort.gr.jp> for
     discovering the problem, and patiently leading me through to a point
     that I could actually reproduce the proble, and test the patch
     provided by witchery@www.oz.or.kr.                       closes: Bug#147627

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Mon, 27 May 2002 02:09:28 -0500

flex (2.5.4a-25) unstable; urgency=high

   * In this version of flex, the first YYPROTO usage appears before the
     definition of YYPROTO if _WIN32 is defined. Not so good. One should be
     able to generate portable lexers with flex.              closes: Bug#145237

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Tue, 30 Apr 2002 12:53:45 -0500

flex (2.5.4a-24) unstable; urgency=low

   * Well, the symbol is really _WIN32.
   * Added clarifications about %option stdin to the flex man page (some
     wording taken from CVS).

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Sun, 17 Mar 2002 10:32:13 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-23) unstable; urgency=low

   * Hmm. For non POSIX systems (well, where _Win32 is defined) where
     unistd.h is not available, use the old isatty prototype.

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Wed, 6 Feb 2002 16:33:39 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-22) unstable; urgency=low

   * Interactive lexers were broken by the fic to handle interrupted
     reads.                                                   closes: Bug#131242

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Mon, 28 Jan 2002 12:21:40 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-21) unstable; urgency=low

   * Hmm. Run aclocal on the acinclude file first.

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Fri, 25 Jan 2002 16:52:23 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-20) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add a build depends for autotconf, needed now that we make changes to
     the script.                                              closes: Bug#130703

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Thu, 24 Jan 2002 16:32:25 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-19) unstable; urgency=low

   * For machines that do not use the GNU libc (and thus, does not have
     gettext as part of the libc), flex failed to compile. The grep package
     has a macro to handle exactly this situation, elegantly,  which is
     labelled as available for public use, in it's aclocal.m4 file. This
     version of flex uses that. Many thanks to Joel Baker
     <lucifer@lightbearer.com> for discovering and testing this fix.
                                                              closes: Bug#130220

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Thu, 24 Jan 2002 10:07:16 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-18) unstable; urgency=low

   * Make sure that unistd.h is actually included, since we no longer
     provide a prototype for isatty.                           closes: Bug#97131

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Sun, 13 Jan 2002 01:02:26 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-17) unstable; urgency=medium

   * AAArgggh. Fix a missing open brace in the generated YY_INPUT, Many
     thanks to Bruce Stephens for catching these quickly.

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Thu, 10 Jan 2002 13:14:35 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-16) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Fix a missing \ in the generated YY_INPUT macro.         closes: Bug#128412
   * Fix buggy isatty prototype by not actually including a prototype (we
     include the relevant header file, after all.             closes: Bug#97131

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Wed, 9 Jan 2002 11:51:12 -0600

flex (2.5.4a-15) unstable; urgency=low

   * if a signal is delivered while the parser is in the read routine
     (coded by flex), the result is flex reports and YY_FATAL_ERROR causing
     plan to exit.  The race condition appears much more frequently than
     one might expect because plan spends a good deal of time in read
     routine while gcc is preparing the input. I cleaned up another problem
     case beyond what is given in the patch.                  closes: Bug#125611
   * flex -o "ddd" doesn't write to the file "ddd", instead it tries to
     write to the file "" (yes, blank) and read from "ddd". I changed the
     main.c to use the next arg as the output file name if the next arg
     does not start with a -.                                 closes: Bug#122581

2001

flex (2.5.4a-14) unstable; urgency=low

   * The flex-doc menu entry (/usr/lib/menu/flex-doc) contains some
     unquoted double quotes in its extended description, and these needed
     to be quoted so as not to confuse update menu. (why did it not
     generate an error?) closes: Bug#105272
   * The version 2.5.4a-12 was duplicated work with the previous maintainer
     (and I take the blame for the lack of communication). I have also
     managed to mosplace the changelog entry ;-(

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Tue, 17 Jul 2001 17:50:25 -0500

flex (2.5.4a-13) unstable; urgency=low

   * I took over flex, and have brought the rules and pre/post inst files
     into line with my conventions.
   * flex generates c++ that does not use istream and ostream from the
     "std" namespace, so compilation of generated code fails. closes: Bug#104067
     Please note that this duplicates and replaces the work done in 2.5.4a-12

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Thu, 12 Jul 2001 15:48:24 -0500
