Changelog
libsmbios (2.0.3.dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Jose Luis Tallon ]
* New upstream version (Closes: #494316)
- merged enhancements from Ubuntu (thanks, guys)
* debian/control:
- Drop build depend on libxml2, xml packages since they are no longer
supported upstream
- Build libsmbios2 packages (soname bump)
- Add dpatch to build-depends
- Enable building on lpia (Closes: #488278)
* debian/rules:
- Add dpatch support
- Don't clean up ltmain.sh, config.sub, or config.guess
as they are shipped in the upstream tarball (Closes: #491795)
* Additions:
- removed (lib)smbiosxml.pc; it isn't needed anymore
[ Loic Minier ]
* Add empty dpatch 00list.
* Add myself as Uploader.
* Wrap build-deps and deps.
* Drop useless debian/*.dirs.
* Cleanup rules; drop useless vars, commented out sample constructs etc.
* Pass -s to dh_* in binary-arch; call dh_testroot, and dh_install*,
_compress, _fixperms, _installdeb, _gencontrol, _md5sums, _builddeb in
binary-indep (with -i).
* Drop useless dh_installdirs, dh_installexamples and dh_link calls.
* Actually pass CFLAGS to ./configure; set LDFLAGS in the same way.
* Prepend -z defs to LDFLAGS for safety with --as-needed.
* Move configure flags to their own var, configure_flags.
* Only pass --host to configure if DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE and DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE
differ.
* Honor distclean exit status.
* Drop configure from .PHONY, no such target.
* Add patch and unpatch to .PHONY as dpatch.make doesn't do so.
* Drop debian/README.Debian which only has a description of the packages and
still listed libsmbiosxml.
* Cleanup watch file.
* Drop maintainer scripts which were mostly unused except for a manual
ldconfig call which is handled by debhelper anyway.
* Drop --disable-rpath configure flag; doesn't seem to be supported.
* Drop duplicate dh_installman call and move man page symlinks to
binary-arch.
* Refactor man page symlinks shell snippet.
* Drop useless debian/libsmbios-bin.docs.
* Cleanup debian/Makefile.
* Fix watch file.
* Cleanup debian/*.install files.
* Add ${shlibs:Depends} and ${misc:Depends} to libsmbios-dev.
* Don't fixup the perms or include/smbios; these should be fixed on the
package's dirs and dh_fixperms will fix them anyway.
* Let config.status depend on $(DPATCH_STAMPFN) instead of build depending
on patch-stamp.
* Bump up debhelper compat level to 5; build-dep on >= 5.
* Disable manpage and symlinks for now; closes: #394898.
* Build-dep on chpath and chrpath -d binaries in usr/sbin after install to
drop the RPATHes on the binaries (usually caused by a broken upstream
libtool).
* Do update build/config.guess and build/config.sub; this is safe and
actually recommended; see autotools-dev README.Debian for rationale;
ideally, we'd also save and restore upstream's files to keep a minimum
Debian .diff, but this isn't too nice with the dpatch include.
* Drop now useless libtool bdep.
* Mention full download address in copyright.
* Redo copyright and stop installing COPYING-OSL; do some copyright holders
research aside of the upstream's COPYING information.
* Don't ship README which only has licensing and build/install information.
* Stop shipping obsolete TODO.
* Jump on the SONAME package renaming train to stop shipping *.la files.
* Fix snippet to avoid shipping boost_LICENSE_1_0_txt in libsmbios-dev.
* Run testsuite after build unless nocheck is set in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
* Remove build-stamp in clean.
* Strip binary blobs from the tarball (hence use a .dfsg version suffix) as
the upstream tarball includes binary blobs in cppunit/platform/ which are
memory dumps including a proprietary BIOS; document this in copyright;
NB: upstream was contacted and will reply ASAP. Comment out testsuite as
a result. Update watch file to mangle version number appropriately.
