piuparts (0.43) unstable; urgency=low
[ Andreas Beckmann ]
* piuparts.py:
- Add to self.ignored_patterns: /run/.*
- Unset DISPLAY variable before running commands in the chroot.
- Read possibly remaining buffered output after a command terminated.
- Run apt-cache policy on the packages to be installed.
- Simplify keeping the reference chroot state: move tree info, selections
and diversions into a dict, can be extended easily.
- Fix --*end-meta documentation and actually enable these options.
- Cleanup options and settings.
* piupartslib/packagesdb.py:
- Restrict circular-dependency state to packages on the circle.
* piuparts-master.py:
* piuparts-slave.py:
- Fix chdir in/out of the slave dir to work with relative paths.
* piuparts-report.py:
- Reorder the list of known problem analyses and add a few new ones.
- Correctly split + strip comma-separated lists.
* piuparts-analyze.py:
- Also consider bugs that 'affects' a package.
- Treat bugs without 'found' version as older than anything.
* Makefile: Support version number substitution in piuparts-*.py, too.
* README.txt: Document piuparts.conf settings used by piatti.git scripts.
[ Holger Levsen ]
* piuparts.1.txt: correctly reverse the description of --save-end-meta
and --end-meta.
* piuparts-report.py:
- add support for more static pages and add bug_howto.tpl, explaining how
to file meaningful bugs piuparts-analyse understands. This page also
links to the templates used for bug filing.
* piuparts-slave.py: make status message more useful by including the
section.

piuparts (0.42) unstable; urgency=low
[ Holger Levsen ]
* piuparts.py:
- add to self.ignored_files: /etc/blkid.tab (Closes: #638831)
- add to self.ignored_patterns: /var/lib/apt/lists/.*
- apply patch by Gregor Herrmann to fix --minimize. (Closes: #648423)
* Remove Debian.NEWS entry about source in git. (Closes: #640121)
* piuparts.py, piuparts-report.py, ChangeLog: Expand tabs to spaces.
* Remove whitespaces from whitespace-only lines.
* piuparts-report:
- create maintainer subdirs if they don't exist.
- detect tests being terminated due to excessive output.
* Add git to Build-Depends-Indep: as git describe is used to generate
part of the version string for development builds.
* Add debian/.gitignore
[ Mika Pflüger ]
* piuparts-analyze.py:
- Rewrite to use python-debianbts to analyze if bugs are filed already.
- The BTS only tracks source versions, so remove binNMU-part from
package versions when comparing with versions from the BTS.
- Reduce noise in the output by only printing one action/advise per
package.
- Fix extraction of package versions from bug reports. Thanks to
Andreas Beckmann for catching and solving the error.
* debian/control: Add python-apt and python-debianbts to piuparts depends.
[ Scott Schaefer ]
* debian/copyright: Make it compliant with DEP-5.
* piuparts-slave.py:
- Replace deprecated os.popen2 with subprocess.Popen. (Closes: #640646)
- Add some more logging.
- Kill children (hard-coded value, 45 minutes) to ensure test doesn't
run "forever" (Closes: #640647, #387428)
* piuparty.py:
- Kill leftover processes (via SIGTERM, then if that fails, via SIGKILL).
(Closes: #522918)
- Test for incorrect diversion handling: (Closes: #588313)
a) Existing diversions removed/modified, and/or
b) Installed diversions not removed by purge.
* piupartslib/packagesdb.py: Modify several functions in PackagesDB class
to use python 'set' type, instead of a list. This permitted replacing
inefficient combination of unique() function and random.shuffle() with
python set.pop() method. Since python prohibits storing non-hashable
object in a set, minor modifications to piuparts-report and to
piuparts-master required. (Closes: #640648)
[ Andreas Beckmann ]
* *.py: Add vim modeline.
* piuparts.py:
- Add unittests for misbehaving symlinks.
- Fix resolving absolute symlinks of intermediate directory components,
i.e. /var/run -> /run while checking /etc/motd -> /var/run/motd.
Solves about 30000 false positives of
'Broken symlinks: /etc/motd -> /var/run/motd'. (Closes: #648784)
- When running commands in the chroot, redirect stdin from /dev/null.
- Stop using Popen.communicate() as it may run out of memory.
- Terminate commands producing more than 2 MB of output. (Closes: #649335)
- Create /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/ if missing inside the chroot (e.g. on
lenny). (Closes: #647752)
- Remove logrotate and its dependencies only once.
- Only run 'apt-get update' after updating the sources.list.
- Only run 'apt-get clean' before creating tarballs or saving meta data.
- Do the same checks for running processes and broken symlinks in all
tests. (Closes: #648708)
- Create piupart's apt config in the chroot as /etc/apt.conf.d/piuparts
instead of /etc/apt.conf in order to allow overriding the settings from
custom scripts by just dropping new config bits in e.g.
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/piuparts-foobar.
- Integrate diversion checks with Chroot.check_result().
- Use 'apt-get remove' to remove all packages at once with proper
dependency ordering. (Closes: #648162)
- Purge all packages at once instead of doing it one-by-one.
- Make restore_selections() reinstall missing packages. (Closes: #648707)
- Set more environment variables to let custom scripts know where and
when they are being run: PIUPARTS_TEST, PIUPARTS_PHASE,
PIUPARTS_DISTRIBUTION{,_PREV,_NEXT}. See the README for details.
(Closes: #589498)
- Add missing post_install_* custom scripts to install_packages_by_name().
(Closes: #628077)
- Remove pre_upgrade_* custom scripts, they can be replaced with
pre_install_* scripts that check for PIUPARTS_PHASE=upgrade.
- Add pre_test_* custom scripts. These are run exactly once at the
beginning of each test (after recording the initial chroot state).
- Allow multiple --scriptsdir options, the contents will be merged.
- Exclude /tmp/scripts when creating a tarball.
- Use --one-file-system when creating a tarball to exclude bindmounts etc.
- Restore base system from temp_tgz instead of running debootstrap again.
(Closes: #648193)
- Do not fail upgrade/distupgrade tests for a set of packages where not
all packages exist in the start distribution. This happens e.g. when
testing .changes files and packages were split/added. Only install the
old packages that actually exist according to 'apt-cache show'.
- Add --extra-old-packages option to intall additional old packages that
are not in the set of new packages to be tested. Useful for testing
upgrades with Conflicts/Replaces relationships, e.g. in package renames
or merges.
- Use consistent variable names for package lists. (Closes: #648177)
- Compute the changes in restore_selections().
- Check for settings.scriptsdir inside run_scripts().
- Consistently use chroot.relative() to build filenames inside the chroot.
* piupartslib/packagesdb.py:
- Handle 'unknown-preferred-alternative' state correctly.
- Add 'does-not-exist' state for dependency resolution to distinguish this
from 'unknown' state so that the latter only indicates 'unresolvable' or
'not yet resolved'.
- Handle virtual packages separately from real packages.
- Use get_package_state() internally which 'resolves' (purely) virtual
packages by default (can be disabled).
* piuparts-master.py:
- Add a 'status' command that reports package counts for all states.
* piuparts-slave.py:
- Fix triggering tarball recreation.
- Check tarball age regularily.
- Log tarball creation in *.tgz.log.
- Request and print package counts from master.
- Reload section config every time a section is being run.
- Add precedence attribute to allow prioritizing different sections and to
suspend processing of low priority ones while there are packages waiting
in more important sections.
* piuparts-report.py:
- state-*.html: Sort package lists by name, display state of all
alternative dependencies and packages providing a virtual dependency.
- source/?/*.html: Sort binary packages by name.
- maintainer/?/*.html: Sort source packages by name.
- Update list of error states to be highlighted.
- Archive logs of packages that were removed from the distribution.
- Speedup generating maintainer summaries.
* Makefile: Use 'git describe' to get an exact stamp for development
versions.
[ Dave Steele ]
* piuparts-slave.py: make Section.run() report the number of packages
processed and use this to decide whether a slave should sleep.
(Closes: #649967)
[ Stefano Rivera ]
* piuparts.py:
- Properly install and remove logrotate. (Closes: #638832)
- Use eatmydata by default, add option --no-eatmydata. (This was discussed
in #633033.)

piuparts (0.41) unstable; urgency=low
* piupartslib/packagesdb.py: Apply patch by Scott Schaefer to also consider
alternative depends: the algorithm used to select the "best" alternative
is:
1) Prefer first alternative in state "essential-required"
2) If no "essential-required" alternatives, prefer first alternative
in state "successfully-tested"
3) Otherwise, prefer first alternative in state
"waiting-to-be-tested" IF NO REMAINING alternatives are in one of the
"unknown/fail" states
For this two new states have been introduced:
a) "unknown-preferred-alternative": equivalent of "unknown", this defers
calculation of this package's state, since one or more of its
alternative depends are "unknown" (or
"unknown-preferred-alternative"), and no alternative is either
"essential-required" or "successfully-tested". The alternatives will
be re-tested on subsequest pass.
b) "no-dependency-from-alternatives-exists": if none of the alternatives
can be found in the archive.
(Closes: #526045)
* piuparts-report.py:
- correct a typo from the patch for #523950.
- make_stats_graph: draw the two new states as well.
- point to source code in git instead of svn.
* piuparts.py:
- use proxy settings either from apt configuration or http_proxy
environment variable, the latter overwriting the former (if present)
- Thanks to Scott Schaefer for the patch. (Closes: #632046)
- new option "--no-install-purge-test" to only do upgrade tests
- Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for the patch (Closes: #588482)
- run dpkg with --force-unsafe-io by default and introduce new option
"--dpkg-noforce-unsafe-io" to disable this feature. (Closes: #633033)
Thanks to Scott once more!
- new option: "--fail-on-broken-symlinks". Remove option "--warn-symlinks"
as this is the default now.
* piuparts-slave:
- check if chroot-tgz is older than max-tgz-age (defaulting to 30 days)
and recreate it, if it is. Keep backup and put in back in place when
debootstrapping a new chroot-tgz fails. Retry after min-tgz-retry-delay
seconds. Thanks to Scott Schaefer for the patch. (Closes: #632924)
- document new configuration options max-tgz-age and min-tgz-retry-delay
in README.txt.
- fix bug in piuparts-slave which prevented running a single section by
including section name as command-line argument - thanks again to Scott
and see 632924 too.
* debian/control:
- require python >= 2.6.6-3~, get rid of python-support build-depends.
- add X-Python-Version: pseudo-header
* debian/rules: use dh_python2 instead of python-support to build the
package
* Makefile: build for python 2.6 and 2.7 instead of 2.5 and 2.6.
* Source code is now stored in git.
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=piuparts/piuparts.git
git clone git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/piuparts/piuparts.git
Thanks to Thomas Koch for setting those up and keeping history!
* The configuration and scripts used on piatti.debian.org have also been
moved to git, the URLs are the same, just s#piuparts#piatti#.
* Add entry about git to NEWS.
* Update Vcs-*-Headers in control to reflect move to git.
-- Holger Levsen <holger@debian.org> Wed, 24 Aug 2011 13:47:07 +0200
piuparts (0.40) unstable; urgency=low
* piuparts.py:
- make "natty" the default Ubuntu distribution.
- add to self.ignored_files:
- /var/log/bootstrap.log
* debian/control: depend on ${python:Depends} instead of just python. Thanks
to Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #614617)
* *.py: do not use Python built-in function names as variable name. Thanks
to Carl Chenet for a first patch and Scott Schaefer for the applied one.
(Closes: #523950)
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2, no changes necessary.
* debian/rules: add empty build-arch and build-indep to appease lintian.
* Makefile: drop workaround for #559305 in lenny.
-- Holger Levsen <holger@debian.org> Sat, 25 Jun 2011 21:20:31 +0000
piuparts (0.39) unstable; urgency=low
[ Holger Levsen ]
* The vintage of 2010 release!
* piuparts-report.py:
- report packages which failed
- due to broken maintainer scripts,
- due to output from cron after removal,
- due to not enough force being,
- due to a problem with pre-depends,
- due to files having been modified after purge,
- due to files having disappeared after purge and
- due to problems configuring a database.
- only report about (un)owned files and directories and symlink issues in
sid - that's hardcoded as it's not practical to track them anywhere else
anyway. And at least for broken symlinks this will also stay like this
for a long time.
- visual improvements in the output.
- ignore udebs and binaries from other archs too.
- graph is generated using all the available data points.
* piupartslib/packagesdb.py:
- automatically break circular dependencies when there are only circular
dependencies left, using a configurable list of circular depdencies in
piuparts.conf (Closes: #526046)
The list of circular depends is taken from a script written by Robert
Lemmen available at http://debian.semistable.com/debgraph.out.html -
obviously it would be better to merge this into piuparts directly.
Note that the dependency resovler is still buggy, the state
waiting-for-dependency-to-be-tested still contains some packages
with failed depends (due to them being dependent on packages with
circular depends). This bug has no effect other than that (so the state
waiting-to-be-tested is calculated correctly). This bug is also no
regression.
- get rid of the longtime unused states "fixed" and "fix-not-yet-tested"
(also in piuparts-master and piuparts-report).
- forget reservations of untestable packages.
* piuparts-slave.py:
- fix crash when going into sleep when idle.
- add support for only doing upgrade tests (without the basic test in the
upgrade target distro).
- honor mirror configuration option also for upgrade-tests.
- also do upgrade tests if the version of a package being tested (the one
in the upgraded distro) is not available in the distro being upgraded
from. (This is a very short test, but a successfully one.)
- make configuration setting "distro" to not default to any distro.
* piuparts.py:
- new option: --log-level to specify the verbosity of piuparts
output. Thanks to Fabrice Coutadeur for the patch! (Closes: #567190)
- new option: --warn-on-leftovers-after-purge to not fail if a package
leaves files behind after purge. (Closes: #566599)
- add to self.ignored_files:
- /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/.delete-me-later
- /var/log/alternatives.log (Closes: #591966)
- /var/log/apt/history.log (Closes: #594964)
- /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/fonts.alias (Closes: #576321)
- add to self.ignored_patterns:
- /etc/init.d/.depend.*
- /var/mail(/.*)? - this used to be just /var/mail/.*
- /var/lib//update-rc.d(/.*)? (Closes: #605127)
- create temporary DEBIAN directory for the piuparts-depends-dummy package
with 0755 perms regardless of the umask of the calling shell.
(Closes: #573904)
- fix --do-not-verify-signatures option (Closes: #574936) - thanks to
Cleto Martin Angelina for the patch.
- make Chroot.diff_meta_data() special case and ignore files matching
(/etc/rc.\.d/)[SK][0-9]{2}(.*)$ so that piuparts doesn't complain about
initscripts renamed by insserv. Thanks to by Andreas Beckmann for the
patch! (Closes: #586793)
- remove logrotate and depended packages after the test. (Closes: #602409)
This is a fix for the incomplete patch for #566597. Again, this is a
hardcoded list. :-(
- new custom script: pre_remove_ (Closes: #539146)
- set environment variable PIUPARTS_OBJECTS in custom scripts to a space
separated list of packages / changes files being tested.
- do not call apt-get with --no-remove when installing packages.
(Closes: #603453)
- apply patch by Andres Mejia to fix parsing of the --force-confdef option
and also to configure apt to use that option. Thanks, Andres.
(Closes: #605475)
- don't panic if package is not known by apt-get, this probably just means
a package not yet in the archive is being tested. (Closes: #566672)
Thanks to Cleto Martin Angelina for the patch!
- fix parsing of the options --end-meta and --save-end-meta.
- supply help texts for --end-meta and --save-end-meta options, also add
comments to install_and_upgrade_between_distros() to make the code
easier to understand and hopefully improve in future. (Closes: #560050).
- add logging to install_and_upgrade_between_distros() to point people to
read the functions source code if they wonder why the log (for distro
upgrade tests) looks like it looks.
* piuparts.1.txt:
- update the pointer to custom-scripts.txt to point to README.txt, as
those two files have been merged. Thanks to Gregor Hermann for
spotting this. (Closes: #574504)
- indicate that it's possible to check several packages or .changes files
at once.
- update several options descritpions.
* README.txt
- better documentation of custom scripts.
- reformat to achieve consistent width.
* Add ${misc:Depends} to Depends in debian/control.
* Remove versioned dependencies on debootstrap as the version available
in Etch is sufficient. Drop build-depends on dpkg-dev as it's in
build-essential.
* Build-depend on debhelper>=7 and use dh_prep instead of dh_clean -k, bump
compat level to 7.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1, no changes necessary.
* Remove Ian Jackson from uploaders - thanks for your work, Ian!
* Makefile: support python 2.5 and 2.6 instead of 2.4 and 2.5, adjust
debian/control accordingly.
* debian/preinst: update code snipplet rm_conffile() from
http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling
[ Evgeni Golov ]
* piuparts.py:
- Check for remaining logrotate files which produce output after the
package was removed. (Closes: #566597)
[ John Wright ]
* Use debian module when available, else debian_bundle module.
(Closes: #586443)
* Use built-in set type, available since python-2.4.

2009
piuparts (0.38) unstable; urgency=low
* piuparts.py:
- Add support for using LVM snapshots. Thanks to
Patrick Schoenfeld for the patch. (Closes: #559449)
- Add support for warning on broken symlinks. Thanks to Carl Chenet for
the patch. (Closes: #440151)
- Make --help usuable without needing to be run as root. (Closes: #547379)
- --skip-minimize is now the default. This is because debootstrap is called
with --variant=minbase instead of --resolv-deps now and because if a
base.tgz or an lvm snapshot is specified, piuparts should not touch it.
(Closes: #539142, #559048)
Introduce a new option, --minimize, to minimize a chroot with debfoster.
(This is the old default behaviour. In future versions the --minimize
option might be removed again.)
- Add two new options: --keyring to specify the keyring to use with
debootstrap (defaults to /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg)
and --do-not-verify-signatures to not use --keyring with debootstrap.
(Closes: #545907)
In the chroots, APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated is set accordingly in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.
- Add new option, --pedantic-purge-test, to tell piuparts to be pedantic
when checking if a purged package leaves files behind. If this option is
not set, files left in /tmp are ignored. (Closes: #528266)
- Add new option, --dpkg-force-confdef, to make dpkg use --force-confdev,
which lets dpkg always choose the default action when a modified conffile
is found. This options will make piuparts ignore errors it was designed
to report and therefore should only be used to hide problems in
dependent packages. (Closes: #466118)
- Add another type of custom-scripts, post_setup_, which are executed after
the chroot was setup. (Closes: #466043)
- Create policy-rc.d in 2nd chroot when using -b. (Closes: #466049)
Thanks again to Patrick Schoenfeld for his help.
* piuparts-report: report broken symlinks.
* piuparts-slave:
- gracefully deal with upgrade-test-distros and upgrade-test-chroot-tgz
not being set in the configuration. Thanks to Carl Chenet and Patrick
Schoenfeld for the patch. (Closes: #519192)
- new default value for idle-sleep, 300 instead of 10 seconds. Also the
slave will now only sleep if there is nothing to do for any section.
* Makefile: workaround 559305 by calling a2x twice.
* Update debian/NEWS.
* Replace all references to sarge and etch with ones to lenny and squeeze.
-- Holger Levsen <holger@debian.org> Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:10:27 +0000
piuparts (0.37) unstable; urgency=low
* piuparts-report.py: report packages with update-rc.d warnings and those
failing due to insserv errors. (Closes: #546540)
* Fix typo in NEWS.Debian, thanks to Justin Rye for spotting it.
(Closes: #547439)
* piuparts.py:
- added to self.ignored_patterns:
- /var/cache/man(/.*)? (Closes: #550953)
- /var/lib/insserv/run.*.log
- /var/lib/mercurial-server(/.*)?
- removed from self.ignored_files:
- /var/cache/man/index.db
* fix typo in -i option in manpage (Closes: #555202), thanks to James Vega
for spotting it.
* Make "lucid" the default Ubuntu distribution (Closes: #559047), thanks to
Krzysztof Klimonda.
* fix FTBFS by adding "-r /etc/asciidoc" to the a2x call in Makefile, thanks
to Michael Vogt. (Closes: #559299)

piuparts (0.36) unstable; urgency=low
[ Holger Levsen ]
* The "For me. For you. For everybody." release.
* Break backwards compatibility of the configuration files for master-slave-
mode. Merge those three into one: /etc/piuparts/piuparts/piuparts.conf.
Introduce a new global section in piuparts.conf which is shared among the
other sections there.
* piuparts.py:
- add check whether scriptsdir exits, to fail gracefully if not.
- copy scriptsdir to chroot also when doing upgrade tests.
- added to self.ignored_files:
- /etc/shadow and /etc/shadow- (just as /etc/passwd* and /etc/group*)
- /var/games (see #524461)
- /etc/apt/trusted.gpg and /etc/apt/trusted.gpg~ (just as
/etc/apt/trustdb.gpg and other backup files)
- added to self.ignored_patterns:
- /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/*
- /var/lib/ldap(/.*)? (see #527898)
- /var/backups/.*
- modified self.ignored_patters:
- ignore everything in /tmp, not just in /tmp/scripts (see #528266)
- configure apt in chroots to not install recommends and suggests.
- add support for scanning for packages in changes files, thanks to Andres
Mejia for the patch. (Closes: #352940)
- change some methods from using 'args' to 'package_list'. This more
accurately represents what is being passed into these methods now.
- add an optional parameter to panic() method to specify what exit status
to use. Also thanks to Andres.
- add advice how to read the logfile to the top of the logfiles produced.
- add "FAIL: " to logging output for seven more failure types, so that it
becomes easier to group failure causes.
- allow piuparts to be stopped with control-C. Thanks to Carl Chenet for
the patch. (Closes: #523958)
- fail gracefully if piuparts is run as non-root user. Thanks to Ignace
Mouzannar for the patch. (Closes: #538273)
* piupartslib/packagesdb.py:
- change the test whether a package is testable to check whether the
package is of priority "required", and not whether it's "Essential".
- rename status "essential-required-important" to "essential-required"
as important packages can be tested like all the others.
- handle binNMUs where the Source header in the Packages file includes the
Version and the Source package name in one line.
- fix get_packages_in_state() to only return unique packages and not also
the provided ones as exact copies.
* Install scripts for master-slave mode without .py extension.
* piuparts-master.py: remove code to write statistics, that is done only in
piuparts-report.py now.
* piuparts-slave.py:
- support looping trough multiple sections in piuparts.conf via new config
value "sections". Thanks to Frank Ploss for writing this patch with me
and helping me understand the code much better!
- allow the user to stop the slave with control-C.
- call piuparts with --mirror when mirror is set in piuparts.conf.
* Re-add piuparts-reports.py which got removed/lost between 0.14 and 0.20
without changelog entry.
* piuparts-report.py:
- support sections in configuration file.
- support looping trough multiple sections in piuparts.conf via new config
value "sections".
- generate counts.txt (per section) with raw numbers of packages per state,
include these stats in the debug output (so it gets included in the mails
send by cron.)
- introduce new setting "sources-url" for piuparts.conf.
- generate sources.txt (per section) with a summary status per source
package (for the PTS to display a source packages piuparts state)
- generate html status pages for all source packages (to link from the PTS)
with links to state explaination and available logfiles, handle udebs.
- provide links to logfiles in statistics page.
- provide links to source packages pages from state pages and back, as well
as links to the dependencies state.
- draw graphs of package states over time (if pypthon-rpy and gs are
installed) - thanks to Thomas Viehmann and Dirk Eddelbüttel for
inspiration and support.
- create maintainer centric pages for each email address found in
Maintainers or Uploaders.
- improve layout, generate navigation for all pages.
- use icons to provide a quick overview of a source packages status.
(Thanks to tango.freedesktop.org for the icons!)
- include index.tpl (if it exists) from output-directory into the
generated index page, so one can add news to the index page without
editing piuparts-report.py.
- generate pages for known issues, which are detected by bash helper

* Updated uploaders, remove Amaya and Alastair.
[ Lars Wirzenius ]
* piuparts.py: Call "apt-get update" before calling Chroot.minimize, so
that we can find the debfoster package on Ubuntu.
* debian/control: Fixed "Uploaders:" to have my preferred e-mail address
(liw@iki.fi) instead of my Debian one.
* piuparts.py: Added -D option to set Debian flavor, plus two sets of
default settings depending on the flavor, one for Debian itself, and
another for Ubuntu. The settings choose default mirror and distribution
set (sid vs gutsy). This will allow an Ubuntu version of the package
to set defaults at package building time.
* piuparts.py: Report target of broken symlink correctly, instead of
saying "True".
* piuparts.py: Use lsb-release to guess the Debian flavor.
* debian/control: Added dependency on lsb-release.
* piuparts-master.py: Make the master write summary of total pass/fail
packages, plus status per binary package. This is for having the
Debian PTS and the Ubuntu developer weather report show summaries
of piuparts results.
* integraged changes from Ubuntu by Ian Jackson to support autopkgtest.
* wrapped long lines in debian/control.
[ Holger Levsen ]
* Added myself to uploaders.
* Added Homepage: header to debian/control and changed the homepage to be
http://wiki.debian.org/piuparts.
* Use Vcs-* headers in debian/control instead of XS-Vcs-*.
* Bumped policy version to 3.7.3.
* Updated download location in debian/copyright.
[ John Wright ]
* Change the --warn-on-others implementation to create a dummy metapackage
with the needed dependencies and install it in the chroot, rather than
using "apt-get install package package-". The previous implementation
had issues when the package was already installed (and especially if the
package had essential packages in its reverse dependencies). This has
the pleasant side-effect of making --warn-on-others work both with and
without --apt. (Closes: #458929)
* Fix a bug in check_for_broken_symlinks(): the targets for the broken
symlinks (used for logging) were being read from files on the real root
filesystem, rather than in the chroot.

piuparts-master.py and piuparts-slave.py. Please see the README file,
piuparts-master.conf.sample and piuparts-slave.conf.sample for more
details. (Closes: #349365)
* Fix the --warn-on-others option. Now, dependencies are installed before
the packages we wish to test, and an inventory is taken then, so that we
can know which errors were caused by the packages explicitly specified on
the command-line. Currently, this requires --apt, and doesn't work quite
as advertised if there are circular dependencies with the packages you wish
to test (see the man page for more details). (Closes: #440310)
