2006

vtwm (5.4.7-2.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * NMU
   * Update for X11R7 (Closes: #365286)

2005

vtwm (5.4.7-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add build-dependency on librplay3-dev to fix FTBFS (librplay3-dev does not
     depend on libc6-dev for some reason, so I didn't catch this when scrubbing
     my chroot.  Sigh.)

 -- Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>  Sun, 6 Nov 2005 09:44:15 -0500

vtwm (5.4.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Merge new upstream release.
     + This release is dedicated to the memory of David J. Hawkey, Jr., who
       passed away in 2004.  VTWM is now team-developed by the VTWM hackers at
       http://www.vtwm.org/, and Callum Gibson is the release manager.
     + See /usr/share/doc/vtwm/HISTORY for a comprehensive list of new
       features, behavior changes, and bug fixes.
   * Bump Debian standards version to 3.6.2; no changes necessary.
   * Update URL in package description.
   * Tweak Debian rules file:
     + Explicitly set optimization to -O0 if DEB_BUILD_OPTS contains "noopt".
     + Export the CDEBUGFLAGS variable instead of manually passing it to Make.
     + Make shell style tweaks.
   * Remove Debian patch to remove increment of yylineno variable from parse.c;
     upstream has "#ifdef"ed it out so that it can be restored for systems
     where lex doesn't define and use this variable for itself.
   * Ship more upstream documentation files: 4.6.ANNOUNCE, 4.6.README,
     4.7.README, DEVELOPERS, HISTORY, and SOUND.
   * Remove "SunkFocusWindowTitle" configuration parameter from
     debian/system.vtwmrc-menu, since it is no longer supported.
   * Fix menu-method file to background launched apps, so the window manager
     doesn't wedge.  Whoops.  Thanks to Matthew A. Micholson for the patch!
     (Closes: #319510)

2004

vtwm (5.4.6b-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Update to new upstream version.  (Closes: #193695)
     + Fixes problem where certain window types (often transient dialogs) cause
       VTWM to restart itself.  (Closes: #286951)
     + The "VirtualDesktopFont" configuration variable is now documented under
       that name, instead of the incorrect "VirtualFont".  (Closes: #201738)
   * Resync Debian patches with new version.
     + Fix for gram.y is now upstream.
     + Replace VTWMLIBDIR symbol with VTWMCONFDIR since all we use it for is
       installation of the configuration file.  Create a new TWMCONFDIR symbol,
       which we use to locate twm's configration file.  If Imake defines
       EtcX11Directory, use a subdirectory of ETCX11DIR for vtwm's
       configuration; otherwise, use a subdirectory of LIBDIR.  (This is an
       improved -- and hopefully upstream-tolerable -- version of a patch
       previously applied.)
   * Update copyright information:
     + Update URL to new source version and hosting location.
     + Update list of copyright holders, authors and contributors based on
       current version of manual page.
     + Undocument Martin "Joey" Schulze as a Debian package author, as he
       wasn't responsible for this packaging (which has been done at least 3
       times from scratch in the past 10 years, most recently by me).
       Acknowledge Joey's previous packaging.
     + Update my copyright notice.  I have never signed a written instrument
       assigning my copyright in the packaging desiderata to Software in the
       Public Interest, Inc., so it's probably misleading to claim the
       copyright belongs to them.
   * Rewrite package's extended description based on current information from
     upstream.
   * Update build-dependencies to depend on real X protocol header and library
     development packages, rather than xlibs-dev, which is a dummy package
     nowadays.
   * Update menu item quoting functions in vtwm's menu-method file to align
     them with twm's, which are a little easier to understand.
   * Add support for launching other window managers to menu-method file, using
     VTWM's f.startwm function.  Add 10 points to vtwm command's alternatives
     priority per Debian Policy section 11.8.4.  (Closes: #194158)
   * Re-case VTWM's name in its menu entry per upstream usage.
   * Use a debian/compat file instead of the DH_COMPAT variable in the rules
     file, per debhelper(7).
   * Add "FixManagedVirtualGeometries" and "FixTransientVirtualGeometries" to
     system.vtwmrc-menu file per suggestion from Neil Stewart; this should fix
     various problems with placement of transient and pop-up dialog windows.
     (Closes: #194110, #225945)
   * Grab fix to twm's parse.c from XFree86 CVS (revision 1.9, 2001/04/23) that
     fixes line numbers in error messages about the vtwmrc file from being
     double their correct value.  (Closes: #201741)
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.6.1; no changes necessary.
   * Quote strings in menu file, per Lintian.
   * Tidy up the manual page in several respects:
     + Add copyright notice to the manual page itself, copied from the
       copyright information on twm's source files in X11R4, from which VTWM
       was forked.
     + Fix up the .TH directive:
       - Downcase the command name (rendering a command's name in full caps is
         a presentation decision).
       - Change the date to reflect my modifications.
       - Indicate the source as "VTWM 5.4.6b", not "X11R4-6", since this
         manual page is independently maintained by the VTWM hackers.
     + Fix up the NAME section:
       - Remove spurious paragraph break at the beginning of the section.
       - Use \- instead of - to separate the manpage's name and summary and so
         that mkwhatis is less easily confused.  (See man(7).)
     + Rename the SYNTAX section to SYNOPSIS.  (See man(7).)
     + Use an macros for type face selection in the SYNOPSIS section.
     + Use \- instead of - in the SYNOPSIS section to notate literal dashes
       that the user will type (e.g., when specifying command-line options).
     + Rename the SIGNALS section to ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS (after SUSv3
       manpages).
     + Rename the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section to ENVIRONMENT.  (See
       man(7).)
     + Use "an" typeface macros instead of roff \f escapes for font changes
       where practical in the ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS, BUGS, FILES,
       ENVIRONMENT, COPYRIGHT, and SEE ALSO sections.
     + Quote multi-word arguments to the .SH macro in the ASYNCHRONOUS
       EVENTS and AUTHORS AND CONTRIBUTORS sections.
     + Use \(oq and \(cq named characters instead of literal double-quotes
       in the BUGS section.
     + Italicize signal names in the ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS section.
     + Put a newline at the ends of sentences per the GNU Roff info
       documentation.
     + Move the SEE ALSO section to the end of the page.
     + Update COPYRIGHT section based on the information I gathered from
       trawling the source tree.

2002

vtwm (5.4.5a-12) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Fix FTBFS bug caused by GNU Bison 1.50 and later, hence urgency.
 
   * gram.y: fix syntax error (thanks, Matt Kraai) (Closes: #166271)

 -- Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>  Mon, 25 Nov 2002 01:11:30 -0500

vtwm (5.4.5a-11) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/rules: s/CFLAGS/CDEBUGFLAGS/; Imake-using packages should use
     CDEBUGFLAGS instead of CFLAGS.  Using CFLAGS didn't hurt vtwm but it
     doesn't work in the general case.

vtwm (5.4.5a-10) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/changelog.Debian.old: move Martin Schulze's asyntactic old

   * debian/control:
     - add versioning to build-dependency on debhelper (>= 4.0)

     - new file containing all changes to upstream source, referenced by
       debian/copyright
   * debian/rules:
     - use debhelper version 4 compatibility
     - support "noopt" flag in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
     - clean up paths in install rule
     - miscellaneous cosmetic cleanups

2001

vtwm (5.4.5a-8) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/control: add debhelper to Build-Depends

     seddage to extract the "RUNTIME HINTS" section and write it out as
     README.Debian
   * lintian 1.20.11 clean

 -- Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>  Fri, 30 Mar 2001 03:06:57 -0500
