Debian Changelog rcs (5.7-25)

2009

rcs (5.7-25) unstable; urgency=low

   * The "dogs that love the rain and chasing trains" release.
 
   * debian/control:
     + Set section to 'vcs' to follow override.
     + Set Standards-Version to 3.8.1.
   * debian/rules:
     + Use `dh_prep' instead of `dh_clean -k'.
     + Don't number exported patches.
 
   * Drop Debian change added in rcs 5.7-13 (Nov 1999) which modifies the
     first line of pic's output.  As far as I can tell it's fine as-is, and
     the change results in an extraneous line at the top of the page
     (closes: #525291).

     new 'commitid' phrase used by newer version of CVS and CVSNT.  Note
     that this patch does not include support for generating the ids at
     check in time; it only makes RCS recognize them (closes: #352527).

rcs (5.7-17) unstable; urgency=low

   * Apply patch from Aaron S. Hawley making the diff strategy of rcsdiff a
     bit more subtle: previously rcsdiff considered any long option as a
     case where diff(1) can produce output when the revisions are
     identical, when in fact it is only the case if either the
     --side-by-side or --ifdef options are used (closes: #334004).
 
   * Patch man/co.1 to not use 'asteriskmath', thanks to LI Daobing
     (closes: #345507).
 
   * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.6.2.2, no changes needed.
   * debian/changelog: Change formatting of entries from 1995 and 1996 to
     avoid lintian warnings.
   * debian/rules: `install' no longer strips .comment sections from
     binaries (since version 5.93-1), so revert previous fix and strip these
     sections manually.

2005

rcs (5.7-16) unstable; urgency=low

   * Tenth anniversary release: RCS 5.7 was released on June 16th, 1995.
 
   * rcs.c: Check delta pointer in scanlogtext() before dereferencing it to
     prevent a segmentation fault in some rare cases (discovered while
     investigating #69193).
 
   * Ship docs in PostScript format (instead of DVI).  Drop the ``Functions
     of RCS'' paper since it's quite obsolete nowadays.
 
   * debian/rules: Delete substvars file in clean target.
   * debian/changelog: Facelift previous entry.

 -- Romain Francoise <rfrancoise@debian.org>  Thu, 16 Jun 2005 08:14:01 +0200

     provided for consistency with other commands (closes: #69257).
 
   * Remove a few unneeded files from the Debian diff (.orig files, Emacs
     lock files).
