   [ Anibal Monsalve Salazar ]

   * debian/copyright: update FSF address and copyright years.

   * debian/rules: include /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make.
   * debian/rules (build): depend on patch-stamp.

   * debian/control: move libgdbm-dev to libdevel.
 
   * 03_autoreconf.dpatch: new patch; result of running 'libtoolize --force

2000

gdbm (1.7.3-27) unstable; urgency=low

   * No 1.8 yet because a) the soname has changed, making packaging it less
     trivial, b) the upstream changes are not hugely important and c) 1.8
     appears after 5 years of upstream inactivity and has since been
     followed by another 18 months of upstream inactivity despite some
     trivial and annoying build bugs in 1.8 which must hit almost everyone
     who tries to build it from source.
 
   * Migration warnings are left unchanged as a result of (c) above.

     Meder <chris@isr.uni-stuttgart.de>. [#27702 (1/2)]

     Patch from Christian Meder <chris@isr.uni-stuttgart.de>. [#27702
     (2/2)]
   * debian/rules: conditional on a glibc2.1-based architecture, install

1997

libgdbmg (1.7.3-21) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/control: don't conflict with current libgdbm1 (which hides
     safely in libc5-compat). Flame about migration to libdb.
   * debian/rules: install MIGRATE.
   * debian/MIGRATE: flame about migration to libdb.

libgdbmg (1.7.3-20) unstable; urgency=low

   * switch to libgdbmg for libc6.
   * debian/rules: fix libsub.files and substvars references; rename
     package; add -lc for shared lib. Split out package vs. lpackage so we
     don't rename the library, just the package.
   * debian/control: rename to libgdbmg.
   * Makefile.in: drop tndbm, tdbm, since when we're bootstrapping the
     library there *aren't* native libs. (Should be tied into autoconf
     tests better.)

libgdbm (1.7.3-22) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/control: libgdbm1-altdev should depend on libc5-altdev, not
     libc5-dev.
   * debian/rules: put links for .so files in i486-linuxlibc1/lib so the
     compiler finds them, as well as the linker.

libgdbm (1.7.3-21) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/rules: don't make the info file, libgdbmg1-dev will have it.

libgdbm (1.7.3-20) unstable; urgency=low

   * Reorganize to build libgdbm1 for libc5 compatibility, and
     libgdbm1-altdev instead of libgdbm1-dev.
   * debian/control: name libgdbm1-altdev.
   * debian/rules: add -lc to the shared library so ld.so knows it uses
     libc5.  Copy the shared libs into /usr/lib/libc5-compat explicitly,
     the static libs and headers into usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib and include.
     No man pages in the altdev version (the libc6 dev version will have
     those.)  Manually move shared libs into lib package, since debstd
     won't find them.
   * Makefile.in: drop tndbm, tdbm, since when we're bootstrapping the
     library there *aren't* native libs. (Should be tied into autoconf
     tests better.)

libgdbm (1.7.3-19) unstable; urgency=low

   * Patch for ndbm.h from "Alexey V. Naidyonov" <growler@ocnit.tsu.tula.ru>
     to handle multiple #includes of ndbm.h.
   * (above from Christoph's -18 release, oops on my part...)

libgdbm (1.7.3-18) unstable; urgency=low

   * generate library sub-package from debian/rules, and clean it, so that
     dpkg-source works correctly.
   * add -D_REENTRANT per policy ruling; remove -pipe.
   * take over maintenance again, now that I have time (thanks Christoph,
     for all the conversion work!)

Old changelog format(s), not parsed

Old Changelog:
TODO
* Currently:
  'Conflicts: libgdbm, perl5 (<=5.002-2), man (<=2.3.10-5)'
  The actual problem versions of perl5 and man (which were linked against
  the wrong .so version are from December 1995, and were unstable tree;
  I suspect that nobody is using them anymore. Should I remove them?
* Uses '<=' and '>=' in control files. Is this really a problem?


libgdbm1-1.7.3-11 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Fix to the upgrading scheme, as per Ian Jackson's message:
  * Include .so.major -> .so.version link after .so.version itself in .deb
    file

libgdbm1-1.7.3-10 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Changes to the upgrading scheme, as described by David Engel <david@ods.com>:
  * No more .dist install, mv-ing etc.
  * Include .so.major -> .so.version link before .so.version itself in .deb
    file

libgdbm1-1.7.3-9 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Added 'Section: base' to runtime control file, since perl uses libgdbm.
* Use fcntl locking (POSIX) instead of lockf (BSD). Noted by Neal Becker
  <neal@ctd.comsat.com>. This is just to be on the safe side. I don't
  think it makes any difference - flock(2) states "Under Linux, flock is
  implemented as a call to fcntl".
* Include extended descriptions in announcements.
* Fixed depends line in control file.
* Package revision wrapped into version field.
* Hello-style diffs.

libgdbm1-1.7.3-8 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Produce correct diffs. Noted by Rolf Russius <rossius@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de>.

libgdbm1-1.7.3-7 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Fixed serious problem with upgrades. Noted by David Engel <david@ods.com>.
* Added Section: field to devel control file.
* Added orig target to debian.rules and modified diff target.
* Fixed dependency.
* Added conflicts for perl and man version that were linked with the wrong
  .so version.

libgdbm1-1.7.3-6 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Several small fixes: dependencies, ldconfig, libgdbm.so link.
  Install info documentation via install-info.
  Removed backward compatibility link. Requires perl and man to be
  recompiled.
  Suggested by David Engel <david@ods.com>.

libgdbm1-1.7.3-5 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* ALPHA RELEASE. Do not install unless you know what you're doing
* Added extended description.
* Use -fomit-frame-pointer with -O2 -fPIC. The warning against
  buggy code generation seems to be outdated.
* Encode major library number in package name.
* Several upgrading/cleaning/administration issues, suggested by
  David Engel <david@ods.com>.

libgdbm-1.7.3-4 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* First version since renaming to be announced on debian-changes.
* Install dbm.h compatibility header, instead of symlinking;
  Install nbdm.h . Noted by David Engel.
* Provided symlinks to gdbm.3gdbm for the dbm and ndbm compatible symbols.
  Suggested by David Engel.
* Manpages now have a .3gdbm suffix.
* Use VPATH to build static and shared libraries in separate directories.

libgdbm-1.7.3-3 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Don't do -fomit-frame-pointer optimization with -O2 -fPIC, since
  this may generate buggy code w/ gcc 2.7.{0,1}.
* Changed gdbm.3 to gdbm.3gdbm; made symlinks for the various gdbm_
  symbols; made dbm.h symlink. Thanks to David Engel <david@ods.com>
  for his suggestions.

libgdbm-1.7.3-2 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Renamed to libgdbm. Added 'Provides: elf-libgdbm' to control file.
* Use /usr instead of /usr/i486-linuxelf; part of Debian's move to ELF.
* Added 'Depends: libc5'. This also fixes Bug#1761.
* Changed symlinks for shared libs.

elf-libgdbm 1.7.3-1 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Use install-info for gdbm.info .
* Added dbm to gdbm links.
* Make softlinks instead of hardlinks.
* Fixed typos in debian.rules which caused wrong links.

elf-libgdbm 1.7.3-0 - Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Initial release.
