Change logs for libsmbios source package in Lenny

  • 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.
