netcat (1.10-38) unstable; urgency=low
* Move nc.1 from debian/ to top level directory, so that debian/ is not
a self-referential patch. This will allow the package to trivially be
converted to 3.0 (quilt) format. Thanks to Raphael Hertzog for pointing
this out. (Closes: #485178)
* Clarify documentation for -q.

netcat (1.10-37) unstable; urgency=low

netcat (1.10-36) unstable; urgency=low
* Rename binary package from "netcat-base" to "netcat-traditional", per
request of ftp-master.

netcat (1.10-35) unstable; urgency=low
* Netcat has been split into netcat-traditional (built by this package),
and netcat-openbsd (a rewritten implementation). The command and man
page will be managed by the alternatives system. This package generates
a transitional "netcat" package that will depend on netcat-traditional.

netcat (1.10-34) unstable; urgency=low
* Rename TOS option from -x to -T. This is painful, but it was never a
standard option, and will be needed for command-line compatibility with
other implementations of netcat. Forcing them to rename -x is not
viable.
* Don't return EXIT_FAILURE from -h, and include debian revision number
in its output. (Closes: #457171)
* Include portability fix for Darwin. (Closes: #457172)
* Don't give select more nfds than necessary. (Closes: #457173)
* Reformat all the patch headers.
* Include note about the use of http_proxy in examples/webproxy. (Closes:
#308687)
* Edit EXAMPLES pointer in man page, and add an examples section to
README.Debian. (Closes: #450676)

2007
netcat (1.10-33) unstable; urgency=low
* Cleaned up sh-c.patch, removing duplicated code and fixing -c behavior for
outgoing connections (Closes: #365632)
* Don't redirect stderr to the network (Closes: #365626)

2006
netcat (1.10-32) unstable; urgency=low

-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Fri, 24 Mar 2006 12:03:35 -0500
netcat (1.10-31) unstable; urgency=low
* Switch from dpatch to quilt.
- Also added proper decriptions to all patches and fixed all the
credits for who contributed each one.
- Fixes application of rservice-buf.patch.
- Combined nosleep.patch and nosleep.diff.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Wed, 8 Mar 2006 17:38:18 -0500
netcat (1.10-30) unstable; urgency=low
* In man page, clarify that EOF is something you get on stdin, not on a
socket. (Closes: #349906)
* Use strncpy and check bounds in examples/data/rservice.c to prevent a
possible buffer overflow. (Closes: #352369)

2005
netcat (1.10-29) unstable; urgency=low
* Update Priority: to important to match override file.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Sun, 11 Dec 2005 17:51:22 -0500
netcat (1.10-28) unstable; urgency=low
* Add patch: 25_tos.dpatch. I'm not exactly sure how this happened, but I
never got mail for this report and was just combing through bugs tagged
"patch" now. Hooray for year-and-a-half late fixes. Also added some
documentation to it. (Closes: #275753)
* Standards-Version: 3.6.2.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Sun, 11 Dec 2005 15:08:02 -0500
2004
netcat (1.10-27) unstable; urgency=low
* Add documentation for Mike Sullivan's dashes-in-port-names patch.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Tue, 23 Nov 2004 19:04:43 -0500
netcat (1.10-26) unstable; urgency=low
* Add -c option, from patch by Jan Minar. (Closes: #265583) * Actually include ncmeter this time. (Whoops!)
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Sun, 3 Oct 2004 17:49:33 -0400
netcat (1.10-25) unstable; urgency=low
* Included new example script, ncmeter, by Karsten Köm <koem@petoria.de>. * Added patch by Mike Sullivan <msully4321@gmail.com> to allow the use of port names containing "-", as long as the dash is escaped with a backslash. (e.g. "netcat localhost 'ftp\-data'"). (Closes: #10486) * Updated 12_single_verbose to be quiet if -z is on. (Closes: #247895) * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.6.1.

2003
netcat (1.10-24) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix inverted noopt logic (was building with -O0 by default).
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Wed, 27 Aug 2003 10:00:47 -0400
netcat (1.10-23) unstable; urgency=low
* The "Waiting for Paolo" release. * Use dpatch. I really should have done this a while ago. * Use debhelper v4 and comply with policy 3.6.0.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Sun, 24 Aug 2003 11:34:27 -0400
2002
netcat (1.10-22) unstable; urgency=low
* Broke apart all the various patches that have accumulated over the years,
and put them in a crappy, ad-hoc DBS-like system. This is nowhere near
perfect, but I'd rather wait for the new dpkg-source than muck around with
my 4.5-year-old .orig.tar.gz just so I can repack things in such a way
that DBS is usable. In the long run, separating the patches should make
maintenance much easier, although technically getting that to work
(without simply using DBS) may take a few tries. I'm not going to attempt
to get this into Woody or anything.
* Applied patch to prevent possible buffer overflow (Closes: #145801)
* Updated URL and email in debian/netcat.copyright (Hobbit has been at
@Stake for a while; I sent him a ping email with the split-up patches.)
* The nc binary is now installed into /bin (thanks to Robot101, doogie, and
dsp for bringing this up on IRC.) As far as I can tell, there aren't
really any general-purpose networking tools available on a Debian system
without /usr mounted, and this should hopefully fix that. If anyone
disagrees I'd be happy to listen to whatever objections they have. Perhaps
netcat's priority should be raised to standard in light of this, but I'll
wait and see.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Tue, 4 Jun 2002 08:52:47 -0400
netcat (1.10-21) unstable; urgency=low
* Documented -e in man page. (Closes: #131269)
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Tue, 29 Jan 2002 16:30:30 -0500
2001
netcat (1.10-20) unstable; urgency=low
* Moved around shutdown call in -q patch to be more compatible with standard
nc. Thanks to Dmitry Chernyak <cdl@inkasbank.ru> for pointing this out.
* Applied UDP broadcast patch from NetBSD (Closes: #108182)
- Updated man page to document this option
- Also applied patch to use inet_aton instead of IADDR_NONE (which is
obsolete), so that it will work.
* Bumped Standards-Version to 3.5.6.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Tue, 9 Oct 2001 18:08:24 -0400
netcat (1.10-19) unstable; urgency=low
* Reupload source package (my typo fix was lost due to a misconfigured
dput). This should really fix #97583.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Fri, 1 Jun 2001 18:18:17 -0400
netcat (1.10-18) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied patch from Joe Pepin <jdp@ll.mit.edu> to fix multiple timeouts (Closes: #97583) * Lookup services with getservbyname even if resolving hostnames with DNS is disabled (Closes: #98902) * Install a symlink to the nc binary called 'netcat'. (Closes: #97625)
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Fri, 1 Jun 2001 13:13:25 -0400
netcat (1.10-17) unstable; urgency=low
* Added include for <resolv.h>, which is needed to compile with recent
versions of glibc.
* Added patch to always print "connection refused" messages, without having
to turn on the other junk that -v prints. (Closes: #65413)
* Upgraded to debhelper 3 and policy 3.5.2.0.
* Added DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS =~ /debug/ support.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Wed, 28 Feb 2001 16:53:33 -0500
netcat (1.10-16) unstable; urgency=low
* Rebuild with dpkg 1.8.1.2 to fix bad .diff.gz.

* Add shutdown() patch back in (Closes: #81384) * updated /usr/doc -> /usr/share/doc in man page.

netcat (1.10-13) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer. (Closes: #80305) * Updated debhelper rules to v2. Also cleaned up/moved some targets and dh_* options. * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.2.1.0. * Compress README file, as per policy. * Applied -q patch properly (Closes: #62402). I think that this is also what caused #71616, but I'll hold off on closing that one. * Added README.Debian explanation about -e. This is possibly the problem behind #66355, so maybe I can close that as well.
-- Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com> Thu, 28 Dec 2000 19:02:56 -0500

going to be called "nc" as it always was.
