Changelog
dpkg (1.17.21) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Get consistent git-style diff support, by adding (>= 2.7) to the dpkg-dev
patch Depends, and a Breaks patch (<< 2.7) to libdpkg-perl.
* Error out on obsolete Build-Profiles field syntax.
* Document -g and -G options in dpkg-genchanges(1). Closes: #766568
* Do not accept values bundled with long options in dpkg-parsechangelog.
The parser was accepting things like «--count10», which is just broken.
Instead allow only «--count=10» in addition to «--count 10».
* Accept «-S value» in addition to «-Svalue» in dpkg-parsechangelog.
Closes: #766559
* Add support for new interest-await and activate-await trigger directives.
And a new --await option to dpkg-trigger. This might allow possibly
switching the default meaning after a transition period no shorter than
two minor versions, so in 1.19.x or 1.20.x. Perhaps.
* Do trigger cycle detection after dependency checks in dependtry <= 1,
and before dependency cycle breaking in dependtry > 1. This makes sure
to always catch trigger cycles, but still gives the opportunity to try
to process triggers for packages that are not yet ready in the first
dependtry, but which might be a bit later on, without wrongly detecting
avoidable and bogus trigger cycles. Closes: #766557
* Update features removal schedule:
- The -u, --udeb dpkg-scanpackages options got removed, state that.
- Remove the entry about obsolete fields, as these need to be preserved
for backward compatibility, they are part of the external interface to
be able to handle ancient binary packages.
[ Updated programs translations ]
* Catalan (Guillem Jover).
* German (Sven Joachim). Closes: #766311
* Simplified Chinese (Zhou Mo).
[ Updated scripts translations ]
* Catalan (Guillem Jover).
