* No-change rebuild against libcurl4
* New upstream release.
- Various bug fixes to edit mode.
- Distinguish Crawford games from post-Crawford ones.
- Add Isight count to the Race Theory widget.
- Fix crash on export to HTML. (LP: #1680223)
* Mark gnubg-data as Multi-Arch: foreign.
* Add Rules-Requires-Root: no.
* Update to debhelper compatibility level V11.
- Remove now-unnecessary dh_autoreconf dependency and add-on.
* Update to standards version 4.1.2.
- Remove the menu file.
- Switch to https for the debian/copyright format URL.
* Remove trailing whitespace in debian/changelog.
* Build the two-sided bearoff database by default if the debconf prompt
is suppressed. On nearly all modern systems, this is reasonably fast,
and the prompt is at the normal level and therefore may be suppressed
for a lot of people. (Closes: #854906)
* New upstream release.
- Fix improper definitions of __attribute__ and _GNU_SOURCE that
caused infinite loops during startup with newer versions of GCC.
(Closes: #807756)
- Remove some subpar random number generators.
- Various bug fixes.
* Drop spelling patch, applied upstream
* Fix spelling error in gtkgame.c.
* Update standards version to 3.9.8 (no changes required).
* Fix duplicated words and incorrect name of GPL in debian/copyright
(which makes it not match the source gettext file, but the meaning is
now clearer, so seems like an adequate tradeoff).
* Update glib-gettext.m4 before the build to build properly with new
glib. Thanks, Matthias Klose. (Closes: #818889)
* Switch back to the default version of GCC, since 4.9 is being removed.
Disable optimization to work around the GCC bug that miscompiles gnubg
(#807756), since there seem to be no good alternatives right now.
(Closes: #818775)
* Replace the CPU probe M4 macros before running autoreconf, where this
might actually do some good, instead of after running autoreconf,
where it doesn't.
* Fix spelling of occurred in some warning messages.
* Replace the CPU probe M4 macros at build time with versions from the
autoconf-archive package, since the upstream ones fail CPU ID
detection on the buildd hosts and abort configure.
* Override the BUILD_DATE constant to be based on the debian/changelog
date, allowing for reproducible builds.
* Change the branch layout to follow DEP-14.
* Run wrap-and-sort -ast on the package.
* Refresh debian/copyright to add a few missing copyright statements and
license variations in the build system. No substantial changes.
* Switch Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser URLs to HTTPS.
* Translation updates:
- Portuguese (Brazilian), thanks Adriano Rafael Gomes.
(Closes: #811518)
* Force gcc-4.9 as the compiler, since binaries built with gcc-5
segfault or hang during startup. Enable PIE (and all other hardening
flags), since hardening turned out not to be the cause of this
problem. Works around #807756.
* Fix the symlinks for the DejaVu fonts for the fonts-dejavu-core
change.
* Change dependency from ttf-dejavu-core to fonts-dejavu-core. Thanks,
Andreas Schmidt. (Closes: #788684)
* New upstream release.
- Upgrade the random.org code to support HTTPS.
- Fix import and export of variants (Hypergammon, etc.) when using the
MAT file format.
- Minor bug fixes and cleanup.
* Add build dependency on libcurl4-openssl-dev for random.org support.
* New upstream release.
- Improve position analysis with one-sided database.
- Fix re-evaluation of play from the analysis panel.
- Fix bug in MAT file import.
- Support Python 3.x.
* Update standards version to 3.9.6 (no changes required).
* New upstream release.
- Fix crash on termination or stopping an analysis.
- Fix incorrect mutex management with newer GLIB. (LP: #1346567)
- Improved external interface that is re-entrant and supports quit and
version commands. Fix various other issues with this interface.
- Multiple improvements to the Python support.
- Add set aliases command to list player names for MAT file import.
- Improvements to eXtreme Gammon file imports.
- Display match statistics when a match analysis is completed.
* Convert the packaging to a proper quilt series of changes to upstream
instead of building with single-debian-patch.
* Remove man pages added by the Debian packaging, since these have now
been incorporated upstream.
* Remove the strength comment in README.Debian, which is already covered
sufficiently in the package description.
* Convert the 16x16 and 32x32 PNG icons to XPM format during the build
and reference them from the menu file. Thanks to Markus Koschany for
the report. (Closes: #737914)
* Drop now-unnecessary dh_builddeb override to use xz compression.
* Update standards version to 3.9.5 (no changes required).
* Setting urgency to medium because gnubg won't currently run on any
host that does not have AVX SIMD extensions.
* Return to the previous behavior of enabling only SSE2 on amd64 and not
enabling any SIMD classes on i386 or ia64. We can't assume anything
about i386 processors (at least yet), and I don't know enough about
ia64 to pick good defaults, so err on the side of safety. Wikipedia
claims that all x86-64 CPUs implement at least SSE2. Disable support
for AVX, fixing problems on hosts without it. (Closes: #724685)
* New upstream release.
- Enable sound properly if available but not enabled by default.
- Fix assertion failure after requesting a hint on a resignation in a
previous game in the match. (Closes: #722956)
- New command-line option -s to specify the preferences directory.
- Preliminary support for a Python interface to hinting.
- Fix the stop button on the status bar.
- Memory and CPU usage improvements.
- Fix some unnecessary pop-up messages.
* New upstream release.
- Now correctly finds GTKGLEXT. (Closes: #713503)
- Disable overlay scroll bars on Ubuntu, which works around a problem
with GtkCList on current Ubuntu. (LP: #1002063)
- Use stronger default settings for the computer opponent.
- Update neural nets for better play.
- Various improvements to the Python interface.
- Multiple bug fixes.
* Drop the override in gnubg.desktop to disable overlay scroll bars.
This should now be handled by the build system.
* Drop special per-architecture handling of --enable-sse. Upstream now
probes for this during configure and at runtime and should do the right
thing.
* Move query_player.sh to /usr/share/doc/gnubg/examples since it
requires editing before it can be used.
* Add some keywords to the desktop file. (It's quite hard to tell what
would be useful here. Backgammon is already covered by GenericName.)
* Simplify debian/rules handling of suppressing bearoff database builds
now that the buildds use build-arch and build-indep properly.
* Move the tools for building the documentation to Build-Depends-Indep.
Pre-build versions of the documentation will be used by the upstream
build system and then discarded during a binary-only build, so this
saves some work installing packages on the buildds.
* Remove the beta software warning from the description. GNU Backgammon
has been quite stable for years and now has a 1.0 release.
* Use xz compression for the binary packages.
* Update watch file for new upstream release naming.
* Remove get-orig-source target since the upstream source no longer
requires repacking and there are now regular release tarballs.
* Rewrite debian/copyright into copyright-format 1.0.
* Update standards version to 3.9.4 (no changes required).
* New upstream development snapshot.
- Remove inclusion of specific glib headers, which is no longer
permitted as of glib 2.32. (Closes: #665539)
* Update mkinstalldirs in the source package to work around a strange
interaction between autoreconf and dh_autoreconf where the former will
update it, the latter will therefore remove it on clean, and then the
former will not copy it back into the tree.
* Depend on libpng-dev instead of libpng12-dev. (Closes: #662355)
* Fix the logic to avoid building the bearoff database for arch-only
builds. We can't use an -indep override of dh_auto_build yet, since
the buildds still call that. Instead, use an -indep override of
dh_prep to re-enable building the bearoff database for
arch-independent builds. Should fix build issues on kFreeBSD, where
for some reason system limits never allow building the bearoff
database.
* Set LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR to 0 in the gnubg desktop file when starting
gnubg. This works around a bug in either gnubg or Ubuntu's desktop
that causes the desktop to become unresponsive until the program is
killed. Thanks, Michael Petch. (LP: #932455)
* Update standards version to 3.9.3 (no changes required).
* New upstream development snapshot.
- Fixes random.org GET interface. (LP: #507629)
- Fixes crashes when built with _FORTIFY_SOURCE and hardening flags.
(LP: #310236, #433487, #666298, #755247, #762221)
* Incorporate NMU (thanks, Steve M. Robbins):
- Change libgmp3-dev build dependency to libgmp-dev.
* Update to debhelper compatibility level V9.
- Enable compiler hardening flags.
- Use dpkg-buildflags environment variables to add --as-needed.
- Use the new -arch and -indep override support to handle selectively
suppressing the builds of the bearoff databases.
* Use dh-autoreconf to rebuild the Autotools build system.
* Move the /usr/share/gnubg/gnubg.wd symlink to the gnubg package to
avoid shipping a dangling symlink to gnubg-data. The old way worked,
but the symlink and its target may as well be in the same package.
* Update to Debian source package format 3.0 (quilt) with a single
Debian patch and a local patch header.
* Translation updates:
- Italian, thanks Francesca Ciceri. (Closes: #657451)
- Polish, thanks Michał Kułach. (Closes: #657503)
- Danish, thanks Joe Dalton. (Closes: #605074)
- Clean up the formatting and metadata of all po files. Thanks,
Christian PERRIER.
* Update standards version to 3.9.2.
- Remove Conflicts and Replaces for packages only in oldstable.
* Avoid building the one-sided rollout database during an
architecture-dependent build. Not only does this avoid wasted time on
the buildds, since it's an architecture-independent file, but it
should hopefully fix FTBFS problems on the kfreebsd-* buildds.
* Enable SSE on all amd64 systems, not just Linux ones.
* Add a trailing blank line to NEWS.Debian.
* Disable SSE on ia64. Although the upstream configure script thinks it
should work, gcc on ia64 does not appear to support the -msse or
-msse2 options.
* Do not move the upstream changelog in the gnubg-data package if that
package is not being built (such as during binary-only builds on the
buildd network).
* New upstream development snapshot.
- Now uses Canberra for sound. (Closes: #548398)
- Small, non-resizeable dialog boxes with some fonts should now be
fixed. (Closes: #477975)
- Now uses docbook2x, dblatex, and xsltproc to build documentation.
- Build with threading.
- Build with SSE2 support on amd64.
* Fix upstream "available" spelling error detected by Lintian.
* Fix upstream man page hyphen by post-processing the generated man
page, working around a bug in the Docbook to man conversion.
* Stop attempting to reduce the number of underlying libraries gnubg is
linked with. The attempt is fragile and difficult to maintain and
caused problems with binutils-gold support. binutils-gold will
hopefully replace the regular linker with one that automatically
suppresses unnecessary link dependencies. Instead, pass --as-needed
to the linker. (Closes: #554672)
* Upstream now installs a regular hicolor icon set, so modify the
desktop file to enable the automatic icon path searching.
* Depend on ttf-dejavu-core and symlink the fonts used by gnubg to
the versions in that package instead of including separate copies of
the Bitstream Vera fonts.
* Build-depend on libreadline-dev instead of libreadline5-dev.
(Closes: #553886)
* Use autoreconf instead of running the separate programs individually.
* Don't fail make clean if no Makefile.in files have been created.
* Move the upstream changelog into the gnubg-data package, but still
install it as /usr/share/doc/gnubg/changelog.gz.
* Update README.Debian to remove references to optional features. The
upstream configure process is now much simpler, with far fewer
optional bits. Remove references to features upstream no longer has.
* Update get-orig-source logic to use the version from debian/changelog
and download snapshots again.
* Update to debhelper compatibility level V7.
- Use debhelper rule minimization with overrides.
- Use debian/clean to specify most of the extra files to remove.
- Add ${misc:Depends} to gnubg-data.
* Update standards version to 3.8.3 (no changes required).
* Translation updates:
- Russian, thanks Yuri Kozlov. (Closes: #540602)
- Spanish, thanks Francisco Javier Cuadrado. (Closes: #528174)
* Remove the now-unused build dependency on quilt.
* Update Vcs-Git and add Vcs-Browser control field.
* Update standards version to 3.8.0 (no changes required).
* Translation updates:
- Swedish, thanks Martin Bagge. (Closes: #503602)
* Fix the upstream Autoconf probe for Python to not include extra
shared library dependencies so that we can use it rather than forcing
a specific version of Python. (Closes: #476992)
* gnubg should depend on the matching version of gnubg-data.
* New upstream testing release.
- Upstream released this as 0.9.0-1, but we're calling it 0.90 so that
versions sort. 1.0 is hopefully coming soon, which will sort all
this out.
* Use a stamp file for the install target.
* Use touch $@ to create stamp files.
* Pass -w to gnubg when invoked from gnubg.desktop to not require a
tty. Otherwise, gnubg immediately exits when run from the menu.
* Add an icon reference to the desktop file.
* Add a second menu entry that runs gnubg with -w without a text
console and add "(console)" to the entry that uses the console.
* Install the All About GNU Backgammon guide.
* Install the PDF versions of the manual in /usr/share/doc/gnubg.
* New upstream CVS snapshot.
- New SQLite database support.
- Now supports falling back to the 2D board if the display doesn't
support OpenGL. (Closes: #410562)
- Use the specific Vera font files shipped by upstream rather than
reusing font files in Debian since upstream ships their own versions
and uses them for one specific thing. (Closes: #461261)
- Upstream no longer generates the files that cause repeated builds to
fail. (Closes: #442581)
- Upstream no longer uses BLAS. (Closes: #462242)
* Add a desktop file. (Closes: #453140)
* Remove all autotools-modified files in debian/rules clean.
* Use >= ${source:Version} for the recommends between gnubg-data and
gnubg rather than = ${Source-Version}.
* Remove now-unnecessary build dependencies and update to the latest
version of Automake.
* Stop using quilt to manage patches. The package is now maintained
with git.
* Replace GTK with graphical in the short description. Capitalize the
short description per the devref recommendation. Add interface
information to the long description.
* Add Homepage and Vcs-Git control fields.
* Remove the (incorrect) FSF address from debian/copyright. We point to
a copy of the license anyway.
* Update standards version to 3.7.3.
* Update debhelper compatibility level to V5 (no changes required).
* Translation updates:
- Portuguese, thanks Luísa Lourenço. (Closes: #444722)
* New upstream CVS snapshot taken from the 0.15 release branch.
- Fixes crash when using Postgres database. (Closes: #396445)
- Upstream adopted the patch to use Vera fonts instead of the non-free
Luxi font and fixed rendering issues. (Closes: #396385)
- Toolbar text label display is fixed. (Closes: #396448)
* gnuplot segfaults when generating the annealing graph for the
documentation, so don't try to build the PNG version of the graph for
the time being.
* Translation updates:
- Portuguese, thanks Luísa Lourenço. (Closes: #414918)
* Translation updates:
- Japanese, thanks Noritada Kobayashi. (Closes: #413531)
- Dutch, thanks Kurt De Bree. (Closes: #413608)
* Translation updates:
- French, thanks Thomas Huriaux. (Closes: #404254)
- Spanish, thanks Javier Ruano. (Closes: #404613)
* Install gnubg.gtkrc to get correct styling information for various
text displays, including the move list. (Closes: #393261)
* Fix an incorrect pluralization in the debconf question.
* Translation updates:
- German, thanks Matthias Julius. (Closes: #401254)
- Czech, thanks Martin Šín.
* Sign the changelog with the right account.
* Put back in the call to dh_strip that I removed for debugging. My
apologies to the buildds.
* New upstream CVS snapshot.
- Remove merged and now-irrelevant patches.
- New patch to fix a stray backslash in an upstream include.
* Include gnubg.wd in the gnubg binary package and point to it with a
symlink in gnubg-data, since apparently it's architecture-dependent.
Thanks to André Allavena for the report. (Closes: #387186)
* Don't link with libaudiofile. gnubg only probes for it to find a
function that the Debian version doesn't provide.
* Don't link against libncurses; we only use the readline API.
* Be more aggressive about shedding extra dependencies for the
supporting programs.
* New upstream CVS snapshot.
- No longer uses libart.
- Remove merged and now-irrelevant patches.
- Use the same Autoconf invocations as upstream.
- Build-Depend on libtool since upstream no longer includes its files.
- Build-Depend on bsdmainutils, bison, and flex.
* Translation updates:
- Dutch, thanks Kurt De Bree. (Closes: #378416)
- Czech, thanks Martin Šín. (Closes: #382231)
* Drop Guile and GDBM support. Upstream has dropped both in CVS as
apparently neither works well and few people use them.
* Expand the buffer used for message translations, which should fix the
segfaults when running in a Russian locale. Thanks to Jonathan Kinsey
for the patch. (Closes: #364747)
* Install the FAQ and the HTML version of the manual.
* Add doc-base files for the FAQ and the manual.
* Update to upstream CVS snapshot since no release seems forthcoming.
- Include the documentation; the GFDL terms qualify as DFSG-free.
- Upstream now provides the wood texture.
- gcc 4.x and 64-bit patches have been mostly integrated.
- Disable the new SSE optimizations for right now.
- Drop the FTGL dependency; upstream no longer uses it.
* Remove luxi.c from the package and the upstream tarball. This file
contained a copy of the digits from the non-DFSG-free Luxi font.
Replace use of this font with a dependency on ttf-bitstream-vera and
run-time loading of the Vera font from disk.
* Update the AC_DEFINE_DIR to the latest upstream version; the old
version was broken by Autoconf 2.60. Also remove an unnecessary
duplicate setting of _DATADIR. Thanks to Martin Michlmayr for the
report. (Closes: #367860)
* Build-depend on quilt >= 0.40 for the makefile fragment.
* Update to standards version 3.7.2 (no changes required).
* Wrap build-depends in debian/control, now allowed by Policy.
* Fix another 64-bit type mismatch problem and re-enable Guile support
on AMD64.
* French translation, thanks Jean-Marc Chaton. (Closes: #357484)
* Fix several type mismatches that were causing segfaults on 64-bit
platforms. Many thanks to Anders Brandt Petersen for all the testing
and debugging assistance. (Closes: #350390)
* Disable Guile support on AMD64. It appears to be the culprit in the
AMD64 segfaults reported in #350390.
* Link against libart-2.0 instead of libart2.
* Revert the change to link explicitly against libsupc++. gcc was
already doing this; the problem was with the ftgl-dev library on hppa
and m68k.
* Pass --build and --host into Autoconf as appropriate.
* Drop the gnubg-bearoffs package. Instead, the one-sided bearoff
database is included in gnubg-data and the user is asked whether they
want to build the two-sided database. This saves on buildd time and
archive space, particularly on architectures where few people are
likely to install this package (like m68k).
* Include the wood texture referred to by several board descriptions
that upstream left out of the distribution tarball.
* Move the package binaries to /usr/games.
* Document how to get even larger bearoff databases in README.Debian.
* Search in /var/lib/gnubg for databases as well as /usr/share/gnubg.
* Build-depend on autoconf and automake1.9 and run both before building
rather than patching the generated files. This seems to be the Debian
best practice and it makes the build patches less hairy.
* Link gnubg with libsupc++. This will hopefully resolve FTBFS problems
on hppa and m68k, where Debian's static libftgl needs the SJLJ
exception handling routines.
* Touch aclocal.m4 before Makefile.in since otherwise depending on
timestamp granularity the package makefile may try to run Automake.
(Closes: #350212)
* Remove stamp files at the beginning of make clean per Policy.
* New upstream release. (Closes: #201296)
- Numerous new upstream features and improvements.
- Build with 3D board support, sound support, Python scripting, XML
match equity files, and long random numbers, thus vastly increasing
the build dependencies.
- Build with every supported audio layer, since I'm not sure which
people will use and they're all relatively small.
- Enable time control.
- Upstream now supports GTK+ 2.0.
- Don't build with gtkextras since Debian doesn't have 2.0.
- libguilegtk isn't used with GTK+ 2.0.
- Build with libart for better rendering and HTML export.
- Build with Freetype support.
- Add a BLAS build dependency for the neural network code.
- Drop libzvt; it's apparently no longer used.
- Ported to gcc 4.
* Removed the manual, which is unfortunately covered by the non-free GNU
Free Documentation License. (Closes: #345575)
* Added get-orig-source target to download and sanitize the source and
include the weights file from upstream in the upstream source.
* Documented removal of the manual in README.Debian and copyright.
* Move the architecture-independent data (other than the bearoffs
databases) into a separate gnubg-data package to save archive space.
* Hack on the makefile to try to get gnubg to only link against the
libraries it actually uses directly.
* Wrote man pages for the bearoff and hypergammon database utilities.
* Switch to quilt for maintaining patches to the upstream source.
* Export DH_OPTIONS so that gnubg-bearoffs is really only built in the
binary-indep target. (Closes: #220259)
* Support build-arch and build-indep. Running build-arch will now not
build the bearoff database, thus improving buildd speed should they
ever be able to support build-arch.
* Depend on autotools-dev and pull config.{guess,sub} from it.
* Use DESTDIR rather than prefix to override the installation location.
* Don't use dh_installdirs; it's not necessary.
* Install the upstream AUTHORS file as it doesn't just duplicate the
copyright information.
* Improve the long package descriptions.
* Tighten down the package dependencies since the bearoffs database
format may change between versions.
* Use the current watch file syntax.
* New maintainer, with prior maintainer's permission. (Closes: #336975)
* RC, major bug, policy, and lintian cleanup only. A package of the new
upstream source is coming next but will take a bit longer.
* Fix compilation errors with gcc 4.0. (Closes: #286867, #323312)
Thanks to Andreas Jochens for the patch.
* Fix various build dependency problems.
- Remove debmake, which wasn't used. (Closes: #288797)
- Depend on guile-1.6-dev. (Closes: #340117, #253678)
- Depend on libreadline5-dev instead of libreadline4.
- Don't depend on library packages, just development packages.
- Depend on libgdbm-dev.
- Depend on libguilegtk-1.2-dev and libgtkextra17-dev.
* Symlink the doc directory for gnubg-bearoffs to gnubg.
* Clean up debian/rules. Build gnubg-bearoffs in the binary-indep
target. (Closes: #220259)
* Rewrite debian/copyright. Include the individual authorship
statements from the source files as copyright statements and include
the GPL boilerplate from the source files. (Closes: #302960)
* Update to standards version 3.6.2.
- Build with -g and set optimization based on DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
* Update debhelper compatibility level to V4.
* Quote strings in the menu entry.
* Avoid literal ISO-8859-1 characters in the man page.
* Fixed the missing neural network weights file (Closes: 132469)
* Gnubg worked without it but performance was poor.
* Changed the bearoff database so arch is set to all rather than any
* Included the weights - version problem? (Closes: 132469)
* Changed maintainer field to my old key so debian accepts the signature
* Updated to the latest release (Closes: 130125)
* Patch for printf integrated to upstream (Closes: 105447)
* Fixed menu entry (Closes: 121013)
* Added menu hint (Closes: 121017)
* Fixed spelling error (Closes: 124686)
* New version released (Closes: 100957)
* I still don't have gnubg.bd being deleted fully automatically
* changed kgammon to kbackgammon
* Fixed build depends again (Closes: 93774)
* Fixed build depends
* Initial Release.
* No real changes made (do I need to #include </usr/include/glib-1.2>?
* Walm fuzzies to the upstream authors for creating code that copes so
* well with optional files missing.
*
