Debian Changelog joystick (20051019-9)

2009

joystick (20051019-9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Handle the various buffer sizes expected in kernels 2.6.27 to 2.6.30.8
     (2.6.28 changed the value of KEY_MAX, which changed the definition of
     a joystick-related ioctl; 2.6.31 fixed the problem by handling any
     buffer size - see ec8b4b7085605e801a7740a2c3c33256aebe249c in the
     kernel git repository, which was also shipped in 2.6.30.8). Correctly
     closes: #536013. Thanks to Krzysztof A. Sobiecki for help determining
     the actual cause of the behaviour seen in jstest!
   * Avoid treating positive return values from ioctl() as errors; kernels
     starting with 2.6.32 return buffer sizes in some cases (see
     999b874f4aa39b7abf45662ff0900f943ddb2d02 in the kernel git
     repository).
   * Standards-Version 3.8.3, no change required.
   * initscript stops in level 1 as well as 0 and 6. Note that the
     initscript will be going away soon, see #540680.

joystick (20051019-8) unstable; urgency=low

   * Avoid failing with an exit code of 1 in the initscript; thanks Sean
     Finney! Closes: #537804

 -- Stephen Kitt <steve@sk2.org>  Tue, 21 Jul 2009 10:12:59 +0200

joystick (20051019-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Make evtest and inputattach conflict with previous versions of
     joystick, as suggested by LI Daobing.

 -- Stephen Kitt <steve@sk2.org>  Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:17:54 +0200

joystick (20051019-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add Sahara Touch-iT213 support; thanks Claudio Nieder! LP: #338746
   * Package evtest and inputattach separately. Closes: #301009
   * Ship force-feedback tools. LP: #131422
   * Add initscript to save and restore calibration data. Closes: #144766
   * Switch from cdbs to dh 7.
   * Rewrite debian/copyright.
   * Rewrite manpages.
   * Standards-Version 3.8.2, no change required.
   * Allow mapping axes without mapping buttons, and remap calibration data
     when remapping axes; thanks Krzysztof A. Sobiecki! Closes: #529865
   * Avoid segfaulting when the button map reported by the kernel is
     incorrect; hopefully closes: #536013.
   * Add version to the dvb-utils conflict, since the version in Lenny is
     just a transitional package there is no conflict.

2008

joystick (20051019-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Pass correct buffer size to EVIOCGBIT ioctl; thanks Sebastian Siewior!
     Closes: #499414.
   * Remove changes to inputattach.c from the diff.gz.
   * Update inputattach manpage.
   * Add USB segfault fix for jstest from Ubuntu.
   * Add comments on all patches.
   * Merge jscal.1 changes from button-axis-remapping.patch to avoid the
     Lintian warning about quilt patches changing files in the debian
     directory.
   * Remove reference to homepage which is dead.

 -- Stephen Kitt <steve@sk2.org>  Sat, 01 Nov 2008 17:24:00 +0100

joystick (20051019-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Update short description as suggested by Ben Finney.
   * Set priority to extra to match the override file, as suggested by Joe
     Nahmias.
   * Use debhelper 7, as hinted by Joe Nahmias and the debhelper
     documentation.
   * Remove versioned dependency on cdbs since even oldstable has a new
     enough version.
   * Ship evtest and associated manpage; lineakd diverts them so this package
     need not conflict with lineakd, but it does need to conflict with
     dvb-utils (which will not ship with Lenny). Closes: #475049
