debram (2.0.0.5) unstable; urgency=low * Reuploaded, changing only this file. Reason: the last upload had in this file been dated "June" rather than "Jun" (closes: #797706). -- Thaddeus H. Black Wed, 06 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000 debram (2.0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low * Replaced an inadvertently idiosyncratic DSC signature which Pbuilder disliked with a normal signature (closes: #789293). Thanked Daniel Schepler for the advice. -- Thaddeus H. Black Fri, 26 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0000 debram (2.0.0.3) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed incorrect internal dependencies in debian/rules. -- Thaddeus H. Black Thu, 21 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000 debram (2.0.0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Moved to debian/rules the CFLAGS mentioned in changelog 2.0.0.1. * In a requested effort to let the package build reproducibly, added dh_strip_nondeterminism to debian/rules. * Removed Lintian overrides. -- Thaddeus H. Black Wed, 20 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000 debram (2.0.0.1) unstable; urgency=low * Added an otherwise unnecessary CFLAGS to the Makefile to try to avoid a maybe spurious Lintian warning. -- Thaddeus H. Black Mon, 11 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000 debram (2.0.0) unstable; urgency=low * Removed the Debram database proper, leaving mainly just the Command Selection Guide. * Slightly updated the Command Selection Guide. Noted however that the Guide's contents are quite old. * Appreciated A. Costa's interesting and highly literate wishlist bug report of nine years ago, yet noted here that if words like "metaramification" have not been fixed by this time, they probably never will be. If interest in this wishlist report persists, Costa or any other interested person can reopen the report, with my compliments. For now: (closes: #384953). * Noted here that Serafeim Zanikolas' wishlist bug report of seven years ago seems obviated by the removal of the main Debram data, besides which Zanikolas himself agreed in 2013 that there was no longer much point in the request. Thanked Zanikolas (closes: #482446). * Ceased to build the debram(1) tool, obviating the use of a C compiler during build. As far as the maintainer knows, this means that Clang is no longer interested in this package (closes: #757277). If this conclusion is incorrect, then Arthur Marble or any other interested person should feel free to reopen the bug report. Thanked Marble. * Thanked Samuel Thibault and Bart Martens for their timely NMUs. Read, then erased, the note to the maintainer Thibault left in the source. * Updated the package description. * Upgraded to build-depend on Debhelper 9. * Conformed to Standards Version 3.9.6. * Updated the Doc-base section to "Debian". * Slightly updated the HISTORY. * Removed cmdsel-debs.txt and maint.txt. * Did not remove the Makefile, but made it very brief, since there really is not much left for this Makefile to do. -- Thaddeus H. Black Sat, 09 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000 debram (1.0.3-0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer Upload. * Use source:Version instead of Source-Version to fix binNMU installability (Closes: Bug#677881). -- Samuel Thibault Tue, 19 Jun 2012 15:01:41 +0200 debram (1.0.3-0.1) unstable; urgency=low * NMU. * src/utf8.h: Include stddef.h. Closes: #453160. Patch by Kumar Appaiah , thanks. -- Bart Martens Sun, 09 Mar 2008 08:36:42 +0100 debram (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium * Uploaded post-freeze to sid for etch per Steve Langasek's permission [http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/09/msg00224.html]. * Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date. * Updated maint.txt. -- Thaddeus H. Black Sat, 23 Dec 2006 22:00:00 +0000 debram (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=medium * Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date. * Updated maint.txt. -- Thaddeus H. Black Sat, 25 Nov 2006 22:00:00 +0000 debram (1.0.1) unstable; urgency=medium * Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date. * Empirically observed that the daily refresh of Debian's FTP archive seemed to run between 18:00 and 22:00 GMT (UTC); that is, that packages uploaded by 18:00 came early enough for the refresh, whereas Packages, Sources and Contents files had been built at least for the i386 and amd64 archs by 22:00 (although these do not actually appear on the Push-Primary mirrors until several hours later). Delayed debram's daily changelog timestamp to 22:00 GMT for this reason. (One could ask A.J. Towns for more precise hours, but really, the matter does not seem important enough to bother him about.) * Planned tentatively to track the amd64 Packages file, in addition to the i386, for etch+1, but noted that etch debram does not track packages unavailable in i386. * Corrected the spelling of [9358 System Administration under Gnome]. * Updated maint.txt. * Referred to the debram (1.0.0) changelog to explain the upload's medium urgency. * Noted that this is probably the last unstable upload toward etch, but that by Debian Release Manager's permission, one extraordinary upload toward etch remains planned during the three weeks following Debian's general freeze. (See the 1.0.0 changelog.) -- Thaddeus H. Black Fri, 06 Oct 2006 22:00:00 +0000 debram (1.0.0) unstable; urgency=medium * As proposed in the last changelog, advanced at last to version 1.0.0. * Also as proposed in the last changelog, advanced debram's ordinary upload urgency to the medium level, due to the essential perishability of debram's data. (The maintainer knows of the Debian Project's internal development autobuilder sequencing algorithm, but notes that autobuilder priority is not what motivates this change. What motivates it is that debram brings perishable metadata *on other packages,* which puts it in almost a unique position among Debian packages. Little purpose is served by letting the metadata languish ten days in unstable. Although debram is somewhat a bulky package, most of the bulk is data not code. Debram does not heavily load the autobuilders in any case.) Observed that significant updates to the debram(1) executable, if such occurred, would drop the urgency back to low. * Planned per Steve Langasek's permission [http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/09/msg00224.html] to update debram during the three weeks following Debian's general freeze. Observed that although this will not allow debram perfectly to track the stable release, it should help significantly, inasmuch as debram during those three weeks will have an almost stationary target to track. * Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date. * Linked a few more ramification cross-references (See Also). * Rewrote "Updating the library data" in the manpage again. * Very slightly revised the commentary in docdata/cmdsel.txt. * Caused helper/new-debram-body, when it encounters an unknown maintainer name, to delay dying until it has gathered also all the other unknown maintainer names which could cause it to die. Let it print all these names together at once to stderr, in both utf-8 and iso-8859-1 character encodings. * Updated maint.txt. -- Thaddeus H. Black Mon, 18 Sep 2006 21:00:00 +0000 debram (0.7.0) unstable; urgency=low * Updated the ramification data to reflect etch as of this date. * Acknowledged Anoop Rajendra for ramifying some of the new packages. * Observed that this could be version 1.0.0, but cautiously numbered it 0.7.x for the moment. Noted that future uploads before the etch release are likely to be marked urgency=medium, due to their perishable data. * Retreated from the post-1.0 version-numbering plan set forth in the 25 Feb 2006 changelog. (It was a worthy idea, but premature. The proposal was too rigid for the demands of the present era of Debian development.) Noted that big future reforms to the ramification plan would still increment at least the minor version number, but did not strictly define what might constitute a big reform. * For post-release stable ramification updates, undertook not to depart from the stable version number, but only to add a letter to it, as "1.2.3a". (See "Updating the library data" in the manpage. Letters on non-stable numbers will continue to denote experimental versions, but in the future never on stable numbers. For example, if Debian stable included debram 1.2.3, then debram 1.2.3a would be a stable ramification update. An experimental debram would take the number 1.2.4a.) * Refined the ramification plan as follows. - Added the new [1273 Text Indexing and Searching]. - Added the new [1458 General Mathematical Documentation]. - Added the new [1474 Chemistry]. - Retitled [1792 Debian Jr] to [1792 Debian Jr and Edu]. - Added the new [2740 Vserver and Xen]. - Retitled [2790 GNU Hurd] to [2790 GNU Hurd and kFreeBSD]. - Split the old [3187 Other Revision Control] into three new branches: [3187 Other Centralized Revision Control]; [3188 Arch/Tla/Bazaar]; and [3189 Other Decentralized Revision Control]. - Retitled [3210 Fortran 77] to [3210 Fortran]. - Added the new [3686 Perl 6] and [3688 GHC Haskell]. - Added the new [4456 Proprietary Input Devices]. - Retitled [4730 PCMCIA, APM and Other Mobile Devices] to [4730 Notebook Computers], and split it into several branches. - Replaced the old [6100 Game Programming] division, which had no groups or branches, with the new [6100 General Game Support and Programming] division. Subdivided the new division into [6110 Game Programming], [6160 General Network Game Service], and [6170 Other General Game Support]. - Added the new [7600 Scripture, Philosophy and Religion] division with its several groups, all of which were new. - Added the new [7820 Non-US, Non-GB English]. - Added the new [8420 Mono]. - Retitled [8690 Multicasting and Adaptive Communications] to [8690 Videoconferencing, Multicasting and Adaptive Comms]. - Retitled [8730 SNMP and Networked Boot Control] and [8740 Bootp / DHCP] to [8730 SNMP, Clusters and Networked Boot Control] and [8740 DHCP / Bootp], respectively. - Added the new [9355 Evolution]. - Retitled [9474 Xfce4] to [9474 Xfce]. - Added the new [9654 X Audio/Music Synthesis]. * Shifted the basic C++ database libraries from 3820 and 3920 to 3840 and 3940. * Updated the ramification cross-references (See Also). * Updated the man page. * Noted here a correction to the previous changelog entry: s/check-cmdsel-debs.data/cmdsel-debs.data/. * Slightly corrected docdata/cmdsel.txt and docdata/cmdsel-debs.txt. * In helper/: - Slightly updated DescLoc. - Extended helper/ramify-whatis to work with apt-ftparchive(1) output. - Added the new -k option to helper/new-debram-body. - Added the new -j option to helper/ramify-whatis. - Added the new script count-deps. - Added the new script filter-debram-body. - Added the new script list-words-cont. * Updated maint.txt. * Adhered to Policy 3.7.2. -- Thaddeus H. Black Thu, 24 Aug 2006 21:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.5a) experimental; urgency=low * In a change of plan, began to update debram for etch. Noted that 0.6.5 would not seem to be the last debram, after all. * Observed that sarge stable users should keep debram 0.6.x installed; that they should not update to 0.7.x or later, which concern packages not even in sarge. * Undertook in and after version 1.0 at least to increment the minor version number (as from 1.0 to 1.1) when rams move or ram numbers are reassigned. Noted however that patchlevel incrementation (as from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1) may still suffice for some smaller changes to the ramification plan, such as clarifications or small changes to ram titles and, in some cases, the splitting of existing rams, the opening of new ones or the removal of obsolete ones. Explained that the intent in and after 1.0 is to stabilize the ramification plan so far as the rapid ongoing pace of Debian development permits; yet to the extent that it does not permit, at least to increment version numbers appropriately. * Removed GFDL licensing. (All of debram has been and continues to be licensed under GPL-2, but for historical reasons parts of it had been unnecessarily, confusingly been licensed in parallel under GFDL-1.1, too.) * Adhered to Policy 3.6.2.1. * Revised the source generally, the revisions including the following. - Reorganized the source directories. - Updated the manpage. - Revised helper/RelSteps. - Factored common definitions from the several helper scripts. - Reformatted the several helper scripts. Made several further corrections and changes there. - Pointed readers of debian/copyright to the Debian archive rather than to the author's personal website for the latest source. - In src/xref.c, changed "The Ramification's Principal Classes" to "The Ramification's Principal Sections". - In src/argp.c, slightly improved the --help list footer. - Added the new helper/test hierarchy, containing some test data for the developer's convenience. (What future use such test data might be put to is not known; for the present only helper/ramify-whatis is configured to use it.) Noted here that future changes to helper/test will probably be regarded as too trivial to burden this changelog with; helper/test will not normally be tracked here. - In helper/, added the new scripts find-cmdsel-dupes, check-cmdsel-debs-data and cmdsel-debs, plus the data file check-cmdsel-debs.data for the last script. - Extended helper/check-ram-titles to check cmdsel.txt as well as debram.txt. - Fixed helper/buff-expand's response to illegal options. - Slightly improved helper/Alpha.pm's sorting of names having several capital letters, so that it correctly sorts "Tm Test" before "Tm TESTA" despite the capital "E" in the latter. - Let helper/update-date work also on the README. - Added appropriate "Notes on the Ramification Numbering System" to the backmatter of both debram.txt and cmdsel.txt. * Refined the ramification plan as follows. - Totally reramified [3600 Perl], from four branches into thirty-one, largely without regard to the old 3600 ramification plan. - Similarly totally reramified [3500 Python], from four branches into twenty-seven. - Added development notes relevant to the previous two points in the new file helper/PerlPythonNotes. - Split the old [1122 Text Scanning and Filtering] into separate scanning and filtering branches. Consequently, because the last free number in the [1120 Text Commands] group was the unsuitable 1129, renumbered the other branches in the group to make room for the split. - Split [1211 Compression, Archival and Text/Data Codec] into three branches: 1211, 1215 and 1217. - Promoted [1245 Emacs] to a group: 1290. Subramified the new group. - Reorganized the [1250 Console and TTY] group. - Added the new [1315 CUPS]. - Subramified [1320 Fonts]. - Reramified [1350 TeX] from two branches to nine. - Because [1640 Network Clients and Servers] had no more branch numbers available, removed [1642 FTP] therefrom, giving it its own new group: 1630. Reserved the newly available number 1642 for future use. - Subramified [2210 Kernel Control and Management of Central Hardware]. - Added the new [3273 Haskell]. - Retired [4476 X-10], merging its remaining packages into [4477 Further Unusual or Specialized Devices]. - Shifted [1313 PDF] to 1314, the better to accommodate related cmdsel.txt numbering . - Split the new [1276 Gettext] out from ram 1126. - Split [1115 File Moving, Copying and Naming] into [1115 File Moving and Naming] and [1116 File Copying]. - Created the new group [3150 Message Passing, ORB, and Interface Definition], shifting the old ORB rams 3117 and 3147 thereto and adding the new [3151 Dbus] branch. - Added the new [8627 Further Network Foundation]. (At the moment, the branch remains empty, but it is a logical branch and its analog 1627 in cmdsel.txt is not empty.) - Subramified [1180 Date and Time]. * Thoroughly revised and updated cmdsel.txt, which naturally lags, to track Debian 3.1r0a. * Added version 0.1.1 of the author's otherwise unpackaged DebParse Perl modules in the new helper/debparse/. (This is not Debram software as such, but as far as the author knows it has never been used anywhere but in Debram development, so as it is unpackaged elsewhere it seems logical to keep it here with the Debram source.) * Updated the author's e-mail address here, in debian/control, in src/argp.c, and elsewhere. * Updated maint.txt. -- Thaddeus H. Black Sat, 25 Feb 2006 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.5) unstable; urgency=low * Aggregated the changes in experimental versions 0.6.4a through d for official release to unstable (see those changelog entries). * Observed here that although further bugfixes are not impossible, neither are they expected; and that barring an urgent need, debram 0.6.5 is expected to the the last debram. * Offered admins the following counsel. - Sarge stable admins should install the binaries debram 0.6.4 (distributed with sarge) and debram-data 0.6.5. - Sarge stable admins may build and install their own local debram 0.6.5 binaries. This works fine; the source is already properly backported. However, building one's own debram 0.6.5 binary is unnecessary. If unsure, follow the advice in the previous point. - Etch testing and sid unstable admins should install debram 0.6.5 and debram-data 0.6.5. They should also probably install debtags. - Although etch includes debram, most etch stable admins probably do not need it. Instead, they can and should install debram's improved replacement debtags. - Etch+1 admins (and sid admins in the era following etch's release) do not need debram and, unless they have some unusual historical interest, should not install it. * Observed here that debram, useful for sarge users, is less useful post-sarge and is planned to be removed from Debian after etch's release. -- Thaddeus H. Black Wed, 14 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.4d) experimental; urgency=low * Observed here that this experimental release is a candidate for 0.6.5 release to sid three days to three weeks from today, if no further bugs emerge in the meantime. * Updated the FSF's postal address in debian/copyright. -- Thaddeus H. Black Sat, 03 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.4c) experimental; urgency=low * Observed here that this experimental release is a candidate for 0.6.5 release to sid three days to three weeks from today, if no further bugs emerge in the meantime. * Rebuilt debram.txt from the concatenated Packages files included with the official Debian 3.1r0a i386 CD set. (The concatenated CD Packages files are substantially similar to the FTP Packages file. With respect to one or two packages of optional or extra Priority, however, the CDs and FTP seem to disagree on the exact package Priority. Why? Don't know. Haven't investigated. The difference admittedly does not amount to much. Anyway, this debram build follows the CDs.) * Slightly modified maint.txt and helper/new-debram-body to handle correctly the concatenated CD Packages file. -- Thaddeus H. Black Wed, 31 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.4b) experimental; urgency=low * Taking advantage of the helpful fact that sarge was now stable, reviewed the ramification top to bottom, correcting two or three hundred misramifications. Observed that this was meant to be the last such general review. * Subdivided the 1740 and 9150 rams. * Added a few new cross-references between rams. * Added a new BUILDING text file, setting forth some notes relevant to users who want to build their own debram packages. * Added a new helper/RelSteps text file, outlining the steps the author typically takes in preparing a new debram release. * Added a minor iconv(3)-like capability to helper/new-debram-body. * Slightly corrected maint.txt. -- Thaddeus H. Black Thu, 4 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.4a) experimental; urgency=low * Observed here that this is the first issue after sarge's release. Noted that the debram-data package issued here is fully compatible with sarge's debram (0.6.4) package, and that it is expected (and supported and recommended) that many sarge debram users will upgrade debram-data but not debram. * Observed here that the significance of this experimental issue and of the forthcoming 0.6.5 issue is that, unlike the 0.6.4 issue actually shipped with sarge, these later issues fully cover sarge. (The final sarge package list became available only just before sarge's release, by which time of course it was too late to update debram-data in sarge. This was expected and planned. Thus this issue, and the forthcoming 0.6.5.) * Updated the ramification data to cover all binary packages in sarge stable main i386. * Added a few new cross-references between rams. Clarified the title of ram 8141. Corrected a handful of package misramifications. * Edited the manpage significantly, reflecting the circumstances prevailing after sarge's stable release. Among other changes, - deleted the "Updating the Library Data" section; - revised the "Bugs" section; and - added a notice that the -c option does not work well on terminals with white backgrounds. * Extended the Document History appropriately at debram.txt's foot. * Deleted one now unneeded helper script. Slightly improved one or two of the others. * To avoid confusion for sarge users upgrading debram-data, refrained from updating the maintainer's e-mail address here to (the maintainer is an official Debian Developer as of this issue). * Updated maint.txt to include all sarge package maintainers. * Observed here that the source is fully buildable on a sarge stable system, without any backporting modification. Undertook to maintain such clean backportability for all 0.6.x issues. -- Thaddeus H. Black Sat, 18 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.4) unstable; urgency=medium * Prepared this upload pursuant to - http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/04/msg00003.html - http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/04/msg00029.html - http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/04/msg00161.html and the discussion threads descending therefrom. Expected this issue to be the final issue before sarge's release. * Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date. * Excepting a handful of packages at their maintainers' request, purged data for packages not in sarge. * Updated maint.txt. -- Thaddeus H. Black Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.3) unstable; urgency=low * Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date. * Updated maint.txt. * Added some minor new development helper scripts, including helper/update-ver and helper/update-date. -- Thaddeus H. Black Wed, 9 Feb 2005 21:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.2a) experimental; urgency=low * Added automatic locale support (with Maciej Dems). -- Thaddeus H. Black Thu, 3 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.2) unstable; urgency=low * Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date. * Updated maint.txt. * Implemented debram(1)'s -u option to support utf-8 I/O. (Maciej Dems' good advice is acknowledged in this.) * Implemented debram(1)'s -. option. * Extended the manpage's list of library-data download sites. * Uncluttered debram(1)'s --help list somewhat by hiding a few rarely-used options (the manpage still documents them). -- Thaddeus H. Black Mon, 24 Jan 2005 21:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.1) unstable; urgency=low * Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date. * Updated maint.txt. -- Thaddeus H. Black Fri, 3 Dec 2004 21:00:00 +0000 debram (0.6.0) unstable; urgency=low * Included the new sarge debram.txt, with sarge packages ramified per the new sarge ramification plan. * Because debram.txt now presents current data, removed the "Priority: extra" from debian/control, reverting to "Priority: optional". * Reformed the binary packages' Descriptions. In particular, gave debram-data its own distinct Description and removed the now-obsolete woody disclaimer. * Updated the manpage to cover the new sarge data issue. * Sorted team-maintained packages to the head of each ram, except "Tm QA" packages, which are sorted to the foot. * Updated debian/README. * Updated and extended the development helper scripts. * At last understanding Colin Watson's suggestion of three months ago, fixed the various development helper scripts to use FindBin to locate Perl modules and other files relative to the helper/ directory. * Updated maint.txt. -- Thaddeus H. Black Mon, 8 Nov 2004 21:00:00 +0000 debram (0.5.2) unstable; urgency=low * Reprioritized the list of sites from which users can download future debram data. * Applied Gustavo Franco's manpage patch, correcting the reference in the Files section from /usr/lib/debram/ to /usr/share/debram/ (closes: #276577). * Updated and shortened the manpage's Bugs section. * Added appropriate acknowledgements to the manpage's Author section. * Revised the manpage in several other minor respects. * Relaxed the source's Build-Dependency on debhelper, making the same debram source equally buildable on woody, sarge and sid platforms. * Added the new helper scripts check-maint-addr and check-ram-titles; added the new -tmT options to the helper script new-debram-body; fixed the helper script buff-expand, stopping it from touching the revision timestamps of files it does not alter; edited other helpers in minor ways. * Updated maint.txt. -- Thaddeus H. Black Tue, 26 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.5.1) unstable; urgency=high * Credited Martin Pitt here for discovering the need for the following five changes. * In the debram-data binary, moved debram.txt from /usr/share/doc/debram-data/ to /usr/share/debram-data/, to comply with Policy sect 12.3 (closes: #272422). * In the debram binary, symlinked the platform- independent `debram.txt.gz' from /usr/share/debram/ rather than /usr/lib/debram/, to comply with FHS sect 4.7. * Removed unneeded empty maintainer scripts (debhelper creates suitable default maintainer scripts automatically). * To comply with Policy sect 10.1, altered `Makefile' and debian/rules - always to compile with debugging symbols (except during a local, non-packaging build), stripping unwanted symbols after compilation; and - to respect "noopt" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. * Removed superfluous "configure" target from debian/rules. * Because data files have moved (see above), controlled debram-data to Conflict against old debram (<< 0.5.1). (Future debram-data are to be compatible with any debram (>= 0.5.1). If an incomptatible debram-data emerged, it would be versioned at least 0.7.) * Slightly simplified the binary package interdependencies per Giacomo Catenazzi's advice. * To avoid abusing the present "urgency=high" upload, deferred further, non-urgent changes. -- Thaddeus H. Black Mon, 20 Sep 2004 22:30:00 +0000 debram (0.5.0) unstable; urgency=low * Undertook not to change the format of `debram.txt' in 0.5.x or 0.6.x, thus enabling users (per Giacomo Catenazzi's suggestion) later to install new `debram-data' packages or even just to load new `debram.txt' files without upgrading the `debram' package. For this reason, incremented the minor version number to 0.5. * Planned to number the upcoming complete sarge ramification 0.6, to distinguish it from the present 0.5 which lacks complete sarge coverage. * Because the debram binary package no longer depends on a specific version of debram-data, gave debram its own copies of the copyright and changelog.gz files. (Refer to Policy sects 12.5 and 12.7.) * Restricted the package license to GPL version 2, rather than GPL version 2 or later, thus withdrawing from the FSF its unique privilege to extend the license. * Implemented debram(1)'s -t option. * Added to the man page instructions on finding and installing the complete sarge ramification data, when they become available. * Extended the man page's Quick Start section. Also, had the man page refer contributors to debtags-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org rather than to Thaddeus. Edited and updated the page in a few other minor ways. * Merged into debian/rules Giacomo Catenazzi's patch to clean stray build stamps. * Added a HISTORY file per Enrico Zini's suggestion. * With Nick Lewycky's help, made the scripts `helper/new-debram-body' and `helper/sort-maint' fully relocatable. * Updated `maint.txt'. -- Thaddeus H. Black Mon, 2 Aug 2004 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.4.2) unstable; urgency=low * Observed here that this issue is principally a minor bugfix issue, and that more substantive modifications are deliberately held back against the apparent imminence of Debian sarge's release. (Felt that a risk of introducing new bugs along with new features seemed a poor gamble at the moment.) * Disambiguated ram 8657's title from "Other Mail" (which was also ram 1657's title) to "Other Mail Transport". * Unswapped debram(1)'s seldom-used --data-file and --data-file-gz command-line options. * Corrected `prdeb.c' print_deb()'s inadvertent wasting of one available output column under the `-w' command-line option. * Fixed `conv.c' undot()'s edge-case handling. * Improved the source code's style slightly in a handful of spots. * Updated `maint.txt'; corrected one maintainer's name in `debram.txt'. * Corrected and extended the helper script `helper/new-debram-body''s documentation. * Added to the manpage's Bugs section additional remarks about the debram's future plans. * Conformed to Standards Version 3.6.1. -- Thaddeus H. Black Sat, 26 Jun 2004 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.4.1) unstable; urgency=low * Corrected `debian/control' to include a build-dependency on `zlib1g-dev'. Closes #231100. -- Thaddeus H. Black Fri, 6 Feb 2004 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.4.0) unstable; urgency=low * Incremented the version number to 0.4.0 for sponsor Giacomo Catenazzi's upload to Debian's unstable archive. Updated the various package dates, histories and version notations accordingly but made no other changes to the package. -- Thaddeus H. Black Fri, 23 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.3.1e) experimental; urgency=low * Corrected and neatened `helper/new-debram-body' in several small ways. Improved its error messages generally. Added and documented the useful new "unknown maintainer" error message. Added the -w option. * Updated `maint.txt'. * Updated the manpage's Bugs section. * Added some nomenclature to the manpage's Ramification section. -- Thaddeus H. Black Tue, 20 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.3.1d) experimental; urgency=low * Removed the `author/' directory and added the new `helper/' directory. The old directory had contained undocumented scripts and other files which probably were useless to anyone but the author. The new directory contains documented scripts and files potentially useful to any debram developer. * In `debian/control', added explicit Section and Priority data to each binary paragraph; removed the Enhances datum. * Updated `maint.txt' to include all the names of sarge's current maintainers. (Debian sarge is in testing at the time of this writing.) -- Thaddeus H. Black Fri, 16 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.3.1c) experimental; urgency=low * Removed `author/author.tar'. * Corrected FTP link in `debian/copyright'. * Per Giacomo Catenazzi's suggestion, added error checking to all the program's calls to malloc(3) and calloc(3). (See `alloc.h'.) * Conformed to Standards Version 3.5.10. * Configured the source to build with debhelper 4.1. (This means that the source now builds for sarge only, not woody. Debian 3.0 woody users should install the old debram 0.3.1.) * Retagged `cmdsel.txt' for doc-base. -- Thaddeus H. Black Mon, 5 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.3.1) unstable; urgency=low * Tracked Debian's 3.0r2 issue. * Slightly altered the sorting of package names within a ram, letting packages from the same source appear sequentially. * Corrected five or six misramifications. * Because the debram's own control file refers to them, added packages `debram-data' and `debtags' (`debram' had already been added in 0.2.0). * Corrected color output to xterm(1). * Noted here for historical interest that a debram 0.1.0 did exist, but that it consisted solely of the unpackaged file `cmdsel.txt'. Its issue date was 29 May 2002. While it was not then a Debian package and was not called `debram', it is the direct antecedent of today's debram package. -- Thaddeus H. Black Fri, 26 Dec 2003 00:00:00 +0000 debram (0.3.0) unstable; urgency=low * Recast the source as a native Debian package. * Split the data files away into a separate, architecture-independent binary package `debram-data'. * Added new -1 and -s options to debram(1). * Extended debram(1)'s -T option to enhance -d and -m. * Extended debram(1)'s -d and -m options to accept ram specification. * Trimmed and updated debram(1)'s manpage. -- Thaddeus H. Black Mon, 15 Dec 2003 13:14:07 +0000 debram (0.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial Release. -- Thaddeus H. Black Mon, 24 Nov 2003 02:36:26 +0000 Local variables: mode: debian-changelog End:
