2008

svgatextmode (1.9-21) unstable; urgency=low

     The kbd package moved setfont to /bin from /usr/bin in 1.12-18.
     Closes: #507334
   * Fix the shebang for a couple of scripts using bash features.
     Closes: #489665

 -- Ron Lee <ron@debian.org>  Wed, 21 May 2008 19:18:34 +0930

2007

svgatextmode (1.9-19) unstable; urgency=low

   * Relax the build dep to either linux-libc-dev or linux-kernel-headers
     for a while to be friendly to people building backports.  Closes: #439658

 -- Ron Lee <ron@debian.org>  Fri, 21 Sep 2007 10:13:26 +0930

svgatextmode (1.9-18) unstable; urgency=low

   * Change Build-dep to linux-libc-dev.  Closes: #428999 (again)
   * Use sys/io.h instead of asm/io.h, the latter has vanished from libc headers.
   * Ensure the right io primitives are used for amd64 builds.

 -- Ron Lee <ron@debian.org>  Fri, 27 Jul 2007 04:03:08 +0930

svgatextmode (1.9-17) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add Build-dep for linux-kernel-headers.  Closes: #428999

 -- Ron Lee <ron@debian.org>  Sat, 16 Jun 2007 06:20:11 +0930

svgatextmode (1.9-16) unstable; urgency=low

   * Don't use PAGE_SIZE directly, get it from sysconf().  Closes: #394213
   * Switch back to using kbd instead of console-tools, apparently the
     tide has turned on this again.  Closes: #387118
   * Add an LSB blob to the init script.
   * Remove ancient prompts in the postinst about (re)moving obsolete
     config files.  They should all be long gone by now and lintian
     (rightly) bitches about us querying the user directly still.
   * Drop the preinst entirely, it contains only ancient warnings about
     incompatible changes and also tries to interact with the user directly.
     The package dependencies and conffile handling should take care of
     the latest transition well enough by itself, but we can poke people
     from a NEWS file now too, so do that instead.

2006

svgatextmode (1.9-15) unstable; urgency=low

   * Update stm man page to be a bit clearer about the possibility of
     using this application with a DOS box.  Thanks to Wolfram Sang,
     who apparently still has one!
   * Add a note to TextConfig about trouble with setting the cursor
     (or rather keeping it set beyond a font change) for linux2.6.11
     and later.  We can probably do better than that if someone is
     in the mood for a little hacking about.  Closes: #351849

 -- Ron Lee <ron@debian.org>  Tue, 10 Jan 2006 08:09:57 +1030
