Changelog
dpkg (1.21.7ubuntu1) kinetic; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings
until the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about override options.
- Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
same time having translated debconf prompts.
- Special-case arm{el,hf} ELF objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm for multilib.
- Map unqualified package names of multiarch-same packages to the native
arch instead of throwing an error, so that we don't break on upgrade
when there are unqualified names stored in the dpkg trigger database.
- Apply a workaround from mvo to consider ^rc packages as multiarch,
during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
- dpkg-gencontrol: Fix Package-Type override handling for ddeb support.
- Add Zstd compression and decompression support for binary packages.
- scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Ubuntu.pm: set 'nocheck' in build options by default
on Ubuntu/riscv64. Overridable in debian/rules with
'DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS := $(filter-out nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))'.
- scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Ubuntu.pm, scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl:
Set 'nocheck' for riscv64 using a new 'update-buildopts' hook and make
it effective with old style debhelper, too.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Add new lto feature in new optimize area, taken
from
https://git.hadrons.org/cgit/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/log/?h=next/1.21.x
- dpkg-dev: Depend on lto-disabled-list.
- dpkg-buildflags: Read package source names from lto-disabled-list,
to build without lto optimizations. When adding a source package to the
list, please also file a launchpad issue and tag it with 'lto'.
- Turn on LTO optimizations on amd64, arm64, ppc64el, s390x.
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain/LTO for more information.
- scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Ubuntu.pm: set 'noudeb' build profile by
default. Override this by exporting DEB_BUILD_PROFILE='!noudeb' which
will be stripped, and thus building with udebs.
- build: Switch default dpkg-deb compression from xz to zstd.
Keep compressing dpkg.deb with xz to help bootstrapping on non-Ubuntu
systems.
- Don't install dpkg-fsys-usrunmess script.
