quinn-diff (0.64) unstable; urgency=low
* quinn-diff now distinguishes between 'partial' and 'uncompiled'
packages; the former being where some binary packages built by a
source package are missing but the packages is otherwise up-to-date
and the latter meaning that none of a source package's architecture
dependent packages have been recompiled for the architecture.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Thu, 30 Jan 2003 19:05:43 +0000
quinn-diff (0.63) unstable; urgency=low
* If the binary is newer than the source ensure the binary is built from
that source; works around (some) problems with packages lieing about
what they build (e.g. #177476).
* debian/postinst, debian/prerm: remove; no longer do /usr/doc symlinks.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): don't install obsolete postinst or prerm.
* debian/rules: use convenince variables for install/gzip etc.
* debian/control (Standards-Version): bump to 3.5.8.0.

quinn-diff (0.60) unstable; urgency=low
* Take the Architecture: field into consideration and ignore packages
that are not Architecture: all or the architecture we're interested
in.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Thu, 10 Jan 2002 21:22:43 +0000
2001
quinn-diff (0.59) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fixed a bug in the Packages-arch-specific handling that was causing
some packages to be incorrectly marked as architecture specific.
* debian/control (Build-Depends) add docbook-utils.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Tue, 18 Dec 2001 01:45:03 +0000
quinn-diff (0.58) unstable; urgency=low
* src/error.c: Add missing <stdlib.h> include to get prototype for
exit(), fixes build on ia64.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Sat, 8 Dec 2001 03:53:51 +0000
quinn-diff (0.57) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix quinn-diff to handle zero-length (i.e. /dev/null) or almost-empty
Packages files.
* Add support for -i/--ignore-arch-all which makes quinn-diff ignore any
source package marked as 'Architecture: all'.
* Document -A/--architecture in manpage and --help.
* debian/control (Standards-Version): bumped.
* debian/control: Improve grammar in extended description, suggestion
from Matthew Wilcox <willy@debian.org>. closes: #109627
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Fri, 7 Dec 2001 02:50:53 +0000
quinn-diff (0.56) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed the compiled/out-of-date markers so that they reflect reality a
little better.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Thu, 24 May 2001 22:58:46 +0100
quinn-diff (0.55) unstable; urgency=high
* Fixed a 'free-ing memory twice' crash noticed by Ryan.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Thu, 24 May 2001 16:53:38 +0100
quinn-diff (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
* Support -A/--architecture to override automagic determination of
architecture of Packages file.
* debian/control: add missing Build-Depends, update Standards-Version.
* Handle duplicates in both Packages and Sources by comparing version
numbers and discarding the older copy.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Sun, 20 May 2001 22:19:16 +0100
2000

disappear from the output for random packages.
* A crash on Packages files with nothing but 'Architecture: all'
packages has been fixed.
* The new Sources and Packages files produced by apt-ftparchive are
now handled.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Fri, 1 Sep 2000 18:50:53 +0100
quinn-diff (0.52) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/copyright: remove references to Linux. Update location of the
GPL. Remove references to the defunct http://quinn-diff.nocrew.org/.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): move to FHS; install documentation into
/usr/share/doc/ and manpages into /usr/share/man/.
* debian/postinst: add /usr/doc/ symlink.
* debian/prerm: remove /usr/doc/ symlink.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): install postinst and prerm.

1999
quinn-diff (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixes crashes on Sources files without a Section: line. [#41765] * Sync Packages-Arch-Specific with wanna-build CVS copy. * Fix exclusionary entries in Packages-Arch-Specific handling. * Fix spelling of `architeture' in warning.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Sat, 16 Oct 1999 00:55:04 +0100
quinn-diff (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
* Rewrite. Quinn Diff now compares a Packages file and a Sources
file, i.e. it compares any given architecture to the source not to
some other architecture. This gets us away from the broken model of a
primary and secondary architecture, which wasn't always true. It also
allows one to run quinn diff for the i386 ``port''.
* Packages marked as hurd-i386 specific in Packages-arch-specific are
now correctly noted as such.
* There is now a man page. [#33806]
* Packages-arch-specific is now installed into /etc/ and Quinn Diff
looks for it there.
* debian/control (Recommends): we no longer need python-base.
* debian/rules (build): don't run the test suite, it's no longer usable.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): compress the new manpage. Mark
/etc/Packages-arch-specific as a conffile. Other minor changes.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Sun, 30 May 1999 17:37:10 +0100
1998
quinn-diff (0.46) unstable; urgency=low
* The Packages-arch-specific file can now be used to mark entire source
packages as architecture specific by use of a '%' prefix.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Fri, 4 Dec 1998 18:01:29 +0000
quinn-diff (0.45) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control (Standards-Version): updated to 2.5.0.0.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): install README*, not just `README', into
/usr/doc/quinn-diff/.
* debian/rules (build): run the new test suite (such as it is).
* debian/control: fix typo in long description (`exlcude' ->
`exclude'). (Lintian)
* create_Packages-source has been sped up more.
* Quinn Diff was broken by recent Packages files which has gnome-*
packages with Depends lines in excess of 400 characters; sick of
hardcoded limits in quinn diff, I've removed them all.
* Quinn Diff now uses GTK+'s glib library for hash functions rather than
libdb. libdb was overkill and the version from glibc 2.1 didn't work
with quinn diff. glib's hash functions are more light weight and
better suited to what quinn diff is doing and switching to it fixed
several previously unresolveable problems with the new use of
dynamically allocated memory for all strings related to input.
* Quinn Diff now uses less memory after the plugging of some memory
leaks and more intelligent freeing of buffers.
* A bug in code that tried to handle broken Packages-sources file has
been fixed so it won't output epochs as part of a source package
version number.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Wed, 2 Dec 1998 01:52:31 +0000
quinn-diff (0.44) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control (Recommends): recommend debianutils (>= 1.7) for
mktemp.
* A stupid bug which was causing problems (alphabetically early
Architecture: all packages were being erroneously listed as
uncompiled) on underpopulated architectures (e.g. hurd-i386) has been
fixed.
* The example scripts have been improved in small ways and fixed in some
cases (quinn-diff_split_by_status has been broken since 0.41.)
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Sat, 17 Oct 1998 05:09:26 +0100
quinn-diff (0.43) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control (Recommends): downgrade python-base dependency to a
recommendation and also recommend lftp which all the snarf_Packages-*
example scripts use.
* debian/control: improved extended description.
* quinn diff will now die on duplicates in the Packages-source file as
this invariable represents a mirror in a bad way and quinn diff's
output will be compromised.
* A heuristic designed to help spot bad mirrors, which was actually
causing information lossage in rare cases, has been disabled.
* quinn diff now checks for a version string in the first line of
Packages-arch-specific; if it finds a version newer than it can parse,
it will refuse to even try.
* quinn diff now supports exclusionary architecture fields in the
Packages-arch-specific-file, e.g. "!m68k" means that the package is
suitable for all architectures _except_ m68k.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Wed, 7 Oct 1998 11:39:30 +0100
quinn-diff (0.42) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/rules (binary-arch): no need for fix_scripts anymore.
* debian/fix_scripts: removed.
* debian/control (Depends): depend on python-base for
create_Packages-source.
* debian/copyright: new maintainer address.
* Quinn Diff now accepts a -o/--source-packages option for specifiying
an alternate name for Packages-source.
* A spurious debugging error() call which was left in by mistake has
been removed.
* Quinn diff will no longer crash on malformed Packages-* files.
* snarf_Packages-source has been supplemented by a python script to
replace the spawning of several thousands seds, speeding it up by some
26 times or more.
* Quinn diff will now complain loudly about duplicates in the
Packages-source file and die on libdb-related errors.
* Quinn diff no longer tries to guess if the package is libc5 or libc6
based as this information was only useful during the libc5 -> libc6
conversion process hamm underwent.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Sun, 27 Sep 1998 14:43:58 +0100
quinn-diff (0.41) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control (Maintainer): new address.
* Quinn diff now handles the long version strings like
"4.17-4.m68k.objc.threads.hwwp.fpu.gnat" found in slink.
* The snarf_Packages-source script has been rewritten to be less
insecure, more flexible and suck less.
* The configure script now supports --with-includes, --with-efence and
--with-debug.
* The -D/--debug option accepts "help" as an argument and displays
help information on receiving it.
-- James Troup <james@nocrew.org> Sat, 18 Jul 1998 23:30:20 +0100
quinn-diff (0.40) unstable; urgency=low
* --debug short form -d becomes -D, per YAWN and dpkg.
* New option -w/--visible-warn, controls what category of suspect
packages are displayed.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): call fix_scripts.
* debian/fix_scripts: fix the bang path of shell scripts on the fly.
-- James Troup <jjtroup@comp.brad.ac.uk> Tue, 23 Jun 1998 19:38:51 +0200
quinn-diff (0.32) unstable; urgency=high
* Umm, duh, 0.31 was missing the quinn diff binary. Thanks to Christian
T. Steigies <exp114@physik.uni-kiel.de> for noticing my cluelessness.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): pass "`pwd`/debian/tmp/usr/" not
"debian/tmp/usr/" as the latter has the Makefile installing quinn diff
into src/debian/tmp/usr/.
* debian/control (Standards-Version): updated to 2.4.1.0.
-- James Troup <jjtroup@comp.brad.ac.uk> Wed, 6 May 1998 18:42:59 +0200
quinn-diff (0.31) unstable; urgency=low
* Most of the example scripts have been updated so that they work again.
* Quinn Diff will now print "uncompiled" or "out-of-date" for each
package depending on whether or not the package has ever been compiled
on the secondary architecture before or not.
-- James Troup <jjtroup@comp.brad.ac.uk> Sat, 18 Apr 1998 19:53:03 +0200
quinn-diff (0.30) unstable; urgency=low
* The --warn-missing-lines and --warn-duplicates command line switches
no longer exist. --warn-missing-lines is now implemented in a more
sane fashion with checks for existence only done on relevant lines,
and --warn-duplicates is now enabled through the new --debug switch.
* Quinn Diff will no longer die on duplicate packages in the
Packages-arch-specific file, it'll will (silently or not, as --debug
dictates) ignore the duplicates.
* Quinn Diff's command line interface has changed. It's no longer
necessary (or even possible) to specify the two Packages files as
arguments, instead there are 3 new command line options:
-a --arch-specific-packages filename of Packages-arch-specific file.
default: Packages-arch-specific in cwd
-p --primary-packages filename of primary architectures Packages file.
default: Packages-primary in cwd
-s --secondary-packages filename of secondary architectures Packages file.
default: Packages-secondary in cwd
* Quinn Diff now correctly exits with an error message when passed an
unrecognised command line option.
* Quinn Diff now requires a new file Packages-sources, this file lists
the section and version number of every source package. There is a
script (quinn1.3.sh) as a (poor) example of how to generate a
Packages-sources file.
* Quinn Diff has a new output format:
[optional] oldlibs/ pam: 0.57b-0.2 is newer than 0.57b-0. [libc6]
becomes
libs/pam_0.57b-0.2.dsc [optional:libc6]
The section and version are now correct for the source package,
courtesy of Packages-sources.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): install new THANKS file.
* debian/rules (build): don't override the default CFLAGS.
-- James Troup <jjtroup@comp.brad.ac.uk> Fri, 10 Apr 1998 23:14:40 +0200
quinn-diff (0.20) unstable; urgency=low
* Quinn Diff now knows about multi-binary source packages, and lists
them instead of listing several individual binary packages as if they
bore no relation to each other. This still needs some work
(e.g. section and version are wrong), but it is a start.
* A new example script is provided, called quinn4.sh, which splits quinn
diff output into two parts: unported packages and out-of-date
packages.
* Lots of updates to Packages-arch-specific have been made.
* A bug was fixed where two packages on one architecture with the same
name would kill quinn diff.
* debian/copyright: general update. GPL in /usr/doc/copyright is no
longer compressed. Update FSF's address.
* debian/control (Section): Change to devel.
* debian/control (Priority): Change to extra.
* debian/control (Standards-Version): Upgrade to 2.4.0.0.
* debian/control (short description): improved.
* debian/rules: rewritten.

1997
quinn-diff (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
* New version which supports exclusion of architecture specific files,
has an indicator of whether or not a package needs X11 to build and
quinn1.sh now uses ftpget and fetches compressed Packages files.
-- James Troup <jjtroup@comp.brad.ac.uk> Mon, 24 Nov 1997 01:01:47 +0100
quinn-diff (0.12) unstable; urgency=medium
* New version which fixes a bug with architectures (e.g. sparc) whose
first package is Architecture: all.
-- James Troup <jjtroup@comp.brad.ac.uk> Sat, 6 Sep 1997 16:12:40 +0100
quinn-diff (0.11) unstable; urgency=medium
* New version which fixes several bugs, adds libc5/6 indicator to the
output and removes user-visible i386 & m68k hardcodedness.
-- James Troup <jjtroup@comp.brad.ac.uk> Thu, 4 Sep 1997 22:17:11 +0200
quinn-diff (0.02) unstable; urgency=low
* Initial release.
