Debian Changelog zangband (1:2.7.5pre1-4)

2009

zangband (1:2.7.5pre1-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * libgtk1 is no longer welcome in Debian.  zangband's gtk shell was
     never updated to libgtk2, so ship without it (it didn't really
     work anyway, cf. bug #284414).  Remove Build-Depends: libgtk1.2-dev.
     Note that I will not explicitly set "configure --with-gtk=no",
     for the sake of anyone who wants to build zangband with gtk1 for
     themselves (by installing the old libgtk1.2-dev package).
     Closes: #515985.
   * Patch 200_spearOfHagen.diff for Spear of Hagen:
     player.lev not player.level in lib/edit/a_info.txt
     Thanks Guillaume Giroux. Closes: #516064.
   * Random number generator needs help to recognise 64bit systems.
     Patch 120_rng_64bit.diff thanks to spikethehobbitmage.
     Closes: #457859, #496863.
   * Standards-Version: 3.8.0

zangband (1:2.7.5pre1-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * The upstream makefile has a series of dependencies requiring
     automake (aclocal, autoconf) to be present.  configure must be
     newer than configure.in, of course, but configure.in must be newer
     than .version in order to ensure the automated versioning (from
     src.defines.h) is correctly used.  The problem is that the
     upstream tarball ships configure.in but not .version.
     configure.in is updated locally when autoreconf is performed, but
     the refreshed configure.in is the same in content as the one in
     the original tarball, only the timestamp differs.  It is therefore
     ignored by dpkg-source when generating zangband_2.7.5pre1-3.diff.gz,
     since diff pays no attention to timestamps. So, when unpacking the
     original tarball and Debian diff ready for building, configure.in
     is extracted from the original tarball with the original timestamp
     while .version is extracted from the diff with a date matching the
     unpacking time.  Hence .version is newer than configure.in,
     causing configure.in to be regenerated at build time, requiring
     aclocal, autoheader and autoconf.
     This is the long explanation why automake and autoconf have been
     added as Build-Dependencies. It's just simpler than unravelling
     upstream's automake or tarballing issues.  Closes: #449165.

zangband (1:2.7.5pre1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Use Zangband not ZAngband as the title in the Debian menu entry.
     I think the double capital looks lame, and the in-game docs spell
     it either way.
   * Since zangband is hippy-free (free for all uses except commercial
     profiting), it is authorised for non-free autobuilding. Added a
     comment to this end in debian/copyright and the autobuild tag to
     debian/control. Closes: #412859.
   * Split architecture independent data files into zangband-data to save
     duplicating disk storage across different arches.  Closes: #233465.
