     will return when the dummy packages disappear after the next Debian
     release.
   * Build the dummy packages in the binary-indep rule not the binary-arch
     rule,
   Closes: #174386
   * Add 'Replaces: libpaperg (<< 1.1.9), libpaper1 (<< 1.1.10)' to

   Closes: #174810

2002

libpaper (1.1.11) unstable; urgency=low

   * Further updates to the libpaper-utils templates courtesy of Branden
     Robinson <branden@debian.org>,
   Closes: #170829
   * Correct the missing references to PAPERCONFVAR in paperconfig.in
     (thanks to Junichi Uekawa <dancer@netfort.gr.jp>)
   Closes: #173043

libpaper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low

   * Working out which packages depend on libpaper1 is easy:
     	apt-cache showpkg libpaper1
     Working out which packages should use libpaper but don't is not the
     responsibility of this package,
   Closes: #153471
   * Create a libpaper-utils package to hold paperconf & paperconfig,
   Closes: #169152

     <branden@debian.org> & Thomas Schoepf <schoepf@debian.org>)
   Closes: #169195, #169270
   * Make the dummy libpaperg package depend on libpaper-utils, so the
     naming migration is complete,
   Closes: #169215
   * Specifiy the default papersize file name in the papersize man page,
   Closes: #169693

libpaper (1.1.9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Two release have gone by with libpaperg so it should be safe to C/R/P
     against.  Rename the package to be in-line with current naming
     standards (libpaper<SONAME>, libpaper-dev).  Provide a dummy
     libpaperg-dev to aid the transition
   * Reverse the meanings of the PAPERCONF & PAPERSIZE environment
     variables.  Their current meanings violate the principle of least
     surprise (i.e. people expect PAPERSIZE to be a paper size etc not the
     path to a file and the expect PAPERCONF to be a configuration file not
     a paper size).  The previous meanings will be supported for backward
     compatibility only until the next Debian release,
   Closes: #159579
   * Allow America as a synonym for US when deciding whether to default to
     letter or a4 paper size,
   Closes: #155843
   * Rebuild using the latest automake & DESTDIR= to fix breakage in the
     .la file and allow for building outside the source tree,
   Closes: #160228, #161163
   * Include <errno.h> instead of using 'extern int errno',
   Closes: #168521

   Closes: #132672
   * Update the french translation in the debconf template file,
   Closes: #133821
   * Remove /usr/bin/paperconf from debconf configuration; it served no
     useful purpose anyway,
   Closes: #134066

   * Fix some careless typos in the debconf config script,
   Closes: #132660, #132663

   * Changed the build system to use automake and libtool.

     preinst of libpaperg. (closes: #112977)
   * Renamed configure.in to configure.ac.

libpaper (1.0.9) unstable; urgency=high

   * Don't ask the debconf question when the user had the potato

   * New maintainer.
   * libpaper is now a native Debian package.
   * Removed the libc5 libpaper package.
   * Added a libpaperg-dev package. (closes: #75660)

libpaper (1.0.3-14) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added debconf support, thaks to the patch by
     John Goerzen <jgoerzen@progenylinux.com> (Closes: Bug#70959).

libpaper (1.0.3-13) unstable frozen; urgency=low

   * Fixed preinst and postrm scripts for the libpaperg package,
     so that diversions are handled correctly (Closes: Bug#49205)
   * Fixed bugs in lib/paper.c file that made function systempapername
     if file /etc/papersize is present but not readable (also
     dixed memory lead in the same function) (Closes: Bug#63582)
   * Now file /etc/papersize is chmod 644 after creation in
     paperconfig, to override root's umask.

1999

libpaper (1.0.3-12.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fixed a syntax error in debian/control introduced by the last NMU:
     The Architecture: list is separated by spaces not commas.

libpaper (1.0.3-12.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added support for arm architecture in config.guess

1998

libpaper (1.0.3-12) unstable; urgency=low

   * Added sparc among the libc5 compat architectures in debian/rules
     (Closes: Bug#30173)
   * Now function systempapername return the paper name in the correct
     case (Closes: Bug#29911)

libpaper (1.0.3-11) unstable; urgency=low

   * added some "|| true" in the paperconfig script, so that it does not
     fail even if called with "bash -e" (closes: Bug#26014)

libpaper (1.0.3-10) unstable frozen; urgency=low

   * Now libpaper does not depend anymore on libpaperg (this was
     the release critical bug#22942). In previous versions, the
     dependency was added so that the executables /usr/bin/paperconf and
     /usr/sbin/paperconfig (that were present only in libpaperg), could
     be used also from the old (i.e., bo) packages that depends on libpaper
     (in bo, libpaper provided both the libraries and the executables,
     so both of them should be provided to a package that depends on libpaper).
     Now, the executables are present in both packages, and libpaperg
     uses dpkg-divert to "move away" the libpaper binaries when
     libpaperg is installed (closes: Bug#22942)
   * Removed "sparc" in debian/rules from the libraries that require
     libc5 support (closes: Bug#22082)
   * Added some new #include in the source (changes in the c headers?)

libpaper (1.0.3-9) unstable frozen; urgency=low

   * I forgot to upload previous version also to FROZEN!
     BRIAN, please include this in HAMM, since it closes a bug (20566)
     and assures that copyright appears in /usr/doc/libpaper.

libpaper (1.0.3-8) unstable; urgency=low

   * Now paperconfig converts the given paper name into the correctly
     capitalized name. I.e., "paperconfig -p LeTtEr" sets the system paper
     to "letter" (closes: Bug#20566).
   * Now paperconfig uses /usr/bin/pager as default pager if ${PAGER} is
     unset.
   * Changelogs and copyright now appear also in the libc5 package.
     /usr/doc/libpaper is no more a link to /usr/doc/libpaperg; hence
     in the preinst script of the libc5 package the link is transformed
     into a void directory if needed.

libpaper (1.0.3-7) unstable frozen; urgency=low

   * Only the shared libs are compiled with -fPIC and all libs are
     compiled with -D_REENTRANT
   * Corrected wrong permissions for some files
   * Docs of libc6 version are now in libpaperg
   * Symlinks have been fixed
   * /etc/papersize is removed on purge
   * ldconfig is called in postinst and postrm

libpaper (1.0.3-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Modified debian/rules so that the "build" target works correctly
       (bug 15827)
   * Added options to paperconf to use centimetres, millimetres and inches
       as units for paper size (bug 5928)

1997

libpaper (1.0.3-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Corrected many man pages, so that "which" works with the .so
     directive (bugs 4993 and 12121)
   * Now shared libraries are strippend with --strip-unneeded
     (bugs 5133 and 8310)
   * Small changes in the README files (bug 7833)
   * Fixed security hole in paperconfig (superuser uses file in /tmp:
     bug 11607)
   * File "configure" regenerated with a more recent version of autoconf

libpaper (1.0.3-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Libc6 (hamm) version
   * Now we have two binary packages:
     - libpaperg (which is like the old libpaper packages, but it is
       compiled for libc6 libraries), and
     - libpaper  (which contains static and shared libraries compiled
       for libc5)
   * The debian/* files have been largely rewritten
   * Small changes in Makefile.in
   * /etc/papersize is now a conffile

1996

libpaper (1.0.3-3) unstable; urgency=LOW

   * Suppressed the error message output produced by the call to paperconf
       in the paperconfig script.

libpaper (1.0.3-2) unstable; urgency=LOW

   * Removed the overriden CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in debian/rules (fixes bug
       #4581).

libpaper (1.0.3-1) unstable; urgency=LOW

   * Put a call to ldconfig back into postinst.
   * Put the manpage suffix paper back (so we have xxx.3paper).
   * Upgraded to libpaper 1.0.3 which has a complete set of manual
       pages.

libpaper (1.0.2-3) unstable; urgency=LOW

   * Removed the call to ldconfig in the postrm, since the library and its
       symbolic mode are in the correct order.

libpaper (1.0.2-2) unstable; urgency=LOW

   * Switched to the new source format.
   * Corrected Makefile.in for clean target.

libpaper (1.0.1-2) unstable; urgency=LOW

   * Renamed PAPER env. var to PAPERCONF.
   * Changes in paperconfig(8) to unset the PAPERCONF variable, to use the
       file specified by the $PAPERSIZE variable and to rewrite the file
       only when really needed.
   * The postinst does not ask if whitespace and comments should be removed
       because paperconfig(8) handles that.

libpaper (1.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=LOW

   * Corrected bug #4139 (/etc/papersize was a conffile modified by
       scripts) and added paperconfig(8).
   * Renamed paper(1) to paperconf(1) (fixes bugs #4137 and #4138).
   * Removed postrm which called ldconfig(8) (fixes bug #4251).
   * Added TODO file.
