Debian Changelog gawk (1:3.1.5.dfsg-4.1)

2008

gawk (1:3.1.5.dfsg-4.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * add 25_free_wstr-and-multiple-frees.dpatch: brought in some changes from
     current CVS, to resolve an issue with multiple frees (Closes: 418790).
 
     Thanks to Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name> for the patch.

gawk (1:3.1.5.dfsg-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * doc/gawk.info, doc/gawk.texi, doc/gawkinet.info, doc/gawkinet.texi:
     GFDL with invariant sections - removed and repackaged as 'gawk-doc'
     for non-free.  Closes: #357257
    * debian/rules (build): touch removed .info and .texi files in doc/ as a
      minimally intrusive (if nasty) way of pulling a fast one on the build
      system.
    * debian/rules (binary-arch): don't compress info files, instead remove
      the empty ones that now get installed.
    * debian/postinst: don't invoke install-info.
    * debian/prerm: likewise.
 
   * 20_eval.c-utf-8-strcat.dpatch: updated based on discussion with
     upstream to only manipulate 'l' not 'r'.
 
   * debian/postrm: remove pointless trailing 'exit 0'.
   * debian/prerm: #! as sh -e, rather than set-ing -e to be consistent
     with other maintainer scripts.
 
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): remove 2nd redundant chown to root.root of
     debian/tmp.  Move -maxdepth argument to find before -type to shut
     recent versions of find up.  Drop use of $(PWD) since it's unnecessary
     and we weren't using it consistently anyway.

2004

gawk (1:3.1.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * 14_io.c-fix-redirect-hang.dpatch: new patch which reverts io.c changes
     that wait() when a redirect hits EOF without checking whether or not
     this is the kind of redirect which would have an orphan to wait() on.

     fixed binutils for m68k.  Closes: #278135

     that it works for me.

     wide-char to{lower,upper}() handling.
 
   * 16_awkgram.y-stop-at-eof.dpatch: new patch by Andreas Schwab to stop
     gawk reading past the end of the file for an awk script that is big
     enough to fill more than a buffer's worth and does not end with a
     newline.
 
   * 17_fix-non-numeric-constants.dpatch: new patch by Aharon Robbins to
     improve handling of non-numeric constants so that numbers like 00.34
     don't get confused as being octal.

     been testing for a while now.

   * debian/rules (binary-arch): don't compress examples.  [#14705]
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): pass `--libexecdir=/usr/lib' to configure
     to ensure passwd.awk knows where pwcat and grcat are.  [#22458 (1/4)]
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): `fix' the oh-so-important `bug' of an extra
     slash being passed to make in the libexecdir parameter. [#22458 (3/4)]
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): don't run make in awklib/; it's done in
     the build target which we already depend upon. [#22458 (4/4)]
   * debian/changelog: remove the explicit setting of the
     add-log-mailing-address emacs variable.

gawk (3.0.3-1) frozen unstable; urgency=high

   * debian/control (Maintainer): New maintainer.  However, I'm just an
     interim real maintainer, the package will go back to Chris as soon as
     he's ready.
   * debian/control (Standards-Version): Upgraded to 2.4.1.0.
   * debian/control (Depends): Made a Pre-Depends. [#20600]
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): Recompress everything but copyright under
     /usr/doc/gawk/, I'm afraid I agree with Scott and I don't subscribe to
     the debstd-style view of not compressing ``small'' files.
   * Restore Chris's debian/rules, as it was butchered by a non-maintainer
     upload.  Does no one listen to the "Maintainers other than the usual
     package maintainer should make as few changes to the package as
     possible" in policy?
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): don't install gawk-3.0.3.
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): don't install igawk.sh into
     /usr/doc/gawk/examples/ as we have igawk in /usr/bin/.
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): install architecture independent files
     from awklib in /usr/share/awk/ and architecture dependant files in
     /usr/lib/awk/. (3.0.3-0.{2,3} were confused about this)
   * awklib/eg/prog/igawk.sh: SECURITY: use mktemp to create temporary
     files instead of using gratuitously insecure /tmp/ig.[se].$$.
     3.0.3-0.3 altered the wrong file, fixing nothing and failed to exit if
     mktemp/tempfile failed. [really fixes #19713]
   * debian/control (Depends): depend on debianutils >= 1.7 (for mktemp).
   * debian/rules (clean): remove emacs backup files (*~).
   * pc/awklib/igawk: restore original.
 
   * Bugs fixed in 3.0.3-0.2 by Santiago Vila <sanvila@ctv.es> but
     described by nothing more than a bug report number are :-
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): pass correct values for datadir and
     libexecdir to make to avoid installing files in random places during
     make install. [#11339, #11435]
   * debian/rule (binary-arch): don't install a gawk-3.0.3 manpage
     symlink. [#13893, #17279]
   * debian/rules (binary-arch): install examples in
     /usr/doc/gawk/examples, not /usr/doc/gawk/awlib/eg/ [#16610 1/6].
     install pwcat and grcat uncompressed and stripped into /usr/lib/awk/
     [#16610 2/6].  Don't install the Makefile* from awklib [#1660 3/6],
     don't install the C source for pwcat and grcat [#16610 4/6], don't
     install the source for group.awk and passwd.awk [#16610 5/6] and
     install awklib/lib/* in /usr/lib/awk [#16610 5/6].
 
   * Bugs fixed in 3.0.3-0.1 by Martin Mitchell <martin@debian.org>, not by
     Santiago as he claims :-
   * New upstream version. [#10228]
   * New upstream version fixes memory leak [#12308] and problems with "awk
     'END { getline < "/dev/user" ; print }' /dev/null". [#13131]
