[ Guillem Jover ]
* Revert change to prefix the specs file spec string self_spec with +
instead of *. The prefix is supposed to go in the text itself
instead of the spec name, which already had it. This change only
apparently fixed the issue at hand because gcc started parsing it as
the «[SUFFIX]:» case, completely disabling the PIE handling.
Thanks to Thorsten Glaser <[email protected]>.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Explicitly initialize constructor options to
their implicit values, otherwise other code end up assuming different
defaults. This is required here too as this class does not call the
initialization from its parent.
* Build system:
- Detect the GNU program variants for make, patch and tar in the CPAN
distribution to replace in the Dpkg module.
- Set DEB_BUILD_ARCH to a dummy “amd64” in the CPAN distribution tests
to not require a dpkg(1) in the system.
* Test suite:
- Only print the Dpkg::Path::check_directory_traversal() error on failure.
[ Updated scripts translations ]

* Improve PIE flags support:
- Prefix the specs file spec string self_spec with + instead of *.
This way we do not override any previous setting, otherwise when
passing the -specs options twice (f.ex. to compile and link), only the
last one will take effect, which can break the build. Closes: #870383
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Explicitly initialize constructor options to
their implicit values, otherwise other code end up assuming different
defaults. Closes: #964017

verify_signature(), to make sure we do not write to the user home
directory, except for the trustkeys.db file if present.
- Dpkg::Path: Refactor new check_directory_traversal() function out of
Dpkg::Source::Package->extract().
- Dpkg::Path: Do not do partial matches for directory traversal checks,
expect a trailing slash after the base directory name.
- Dpkg::Path: Catch uncanonicanizable pathnames with a proper error.
Closes: #964111
- Dpkg::Path: Do not consider missing symlink targets a directory
traversal attempt. Closes: #964234

* vendor.mk: Add support for an improved dpkg_vendor_derives_from macro.
Version the macros so that both can be used, and default the unversioned
one to the version 0 macro.
* dpkg: Mark the package we are giving up on a trigger cycle as "istobe"
normal, so that the dependency checks know they cannot expect this package
to be processed anymore. Otherwise we ended up never detecting that we
were not making progress, as we expected to process this package at a later
point, when that would never happen anymore. This then was causing asserts
in the process queue loop. Closes: #901127, #910819
* dpkg: Reset progress_bytrigproc once we have injected it into the current
package process queue iteration, so that we do not keep trying to process
it, which might end up generating artificial trigger cycles, if
dependencies are not satisfied yet.
* dpkg: Convert one trigger processing required type into the new try-queued
one, so that we stop skipping unsatisfiable dependency checks.
* dpkg: Move trigproc cycle reset inside try-deferred conditional. We should
only reset the cycle detection in case we are not bailing out from the
processing with an error, otherwise we could come back to this package and
detect an artificial trigger cycle.
* dpkg: Introduce a new dependency try level for trigger processing. This
completely defers trigger processing until after the dependency cycle
breaking level, so to avoid generating artificial trigger cycles, when we
end up trying to process triggers with yet unsatisifiable dependencies.
Closes: #810724, #854478, #911620
* dpkg: Fix --help output, to clarify which arguments are optional.
* libdpkg: Add proper tar error handling. This makes the tar extractor
track and report back parse errors, so that we can give more descriptive

type on system's <md5.h> headers.
- Check for ldconfig command in dpkg only on platforms that do have it.
- Fix file descriptor leak in start-stop-daemon on AIX.
- libcompat: Add new strchrnul() implementation.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Check that $tarname is defined before use.
Thanks to Christoph Biedl <[email protected]>.
Closes: #879124
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Use proper %use_feature key. This was causing perl
errors on paths not accepted for fixdebugpath.
Reported by Mattia Rizzolo <[email protected]>, on IRC. Closes: #881051
- Dpkg::Changelog: Print versions for incorrect changelog range warnings.
Thanks to Paul Wise <[email protected]>.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile: Check that $state->{seen} exists instead of
$state being just defined. Fixes regression in dpkg-gensymbols symbols
output. Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev <[email protected]>. Closes: #880166
- Dpkg::Arch: Add new positive options argument to arch validators.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Mark hurd-i386 as having gcc builtin PIE.
Requested by Samuel Thibault <[email protected]>.
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V2: Print one building line per existing tarball.
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Print building lines for upstream tarball
signatures. Closes: #888787
- Dpkg::Deps: Turn virtualpkg tracking from an arrayyref into a hashref.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Mark riscv64 as having gcc builtin PIE.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump: Fix ELF program detection, for PIE binaries and
executable libraries.
- Dpkg::Version: Fix bool overload behavior back to be an is_valid()
alias. Emit a specific perl warning until 1.20.x so that users can check
whether the semantic change has any impact on the code, which can then
be quiesced. Closes: #895004
- Dpkg::Changelog::Parse: When detecting the changelog format, read the
last 4KiB of the file instead of using «tail -n40», which should be
both faster and more portable, as the default tail(1) is not POSIX
compliant on all systems (c.f. Solaris).
- Dpkg::Build::Types: Add new set_build_type_from_targets() function.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile: Always assign a proper Dpkg::Version to the
deprecated variable, otherwise the scalar value 0 can get confused
on scalar context to denote it is *not* deprecated instead of being
version 0.
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Disable bool overload Dpkg::Version warnings.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Inline _parse_feature_area() into
_add_build_flags(), for a small speed up and line count reduction.
- Dpkg::BuildFlags: Move default flags setting into the Dpkg::Vendor
modules.
- Dpkg::Gettext: Fix fallback textdomain() to honor its expected interface.
- Dpkg::Deps: Split subpackages into their own separate modules.
- Dpkg::Source: Do not change patch permissions if not necessary.
Closes: #898010
- Dpkg::Substvars: Reword used/unused warnings to clarify their meaning.
Closes: #904258
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Warn when using LD_LIBRARY_PATH with a private library
directory which is a descendent of the current working directory.
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V3::Quilt: Print series file used when applying
patches.
- Dpkg::OpenPGP: Return the destination path on successful ASCII armor
conversion.
- Dpkg::Control::Fields: Do not use & sigil for function calls.
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Ignore nonexistent directories present in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts: Satisfy :native with arch:all packages too.
These are treated as native packages everywhere else in the multi-arch
design, this was the only exception, which has become a source of
packaging problems as of late. This was apparently an oversight in
the original implementation. Closes: #854438
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Add fixfilepath support to reproducible feature.
- Dpkg::Dist::Files: Add support for file attributes.
* Documentation:
- Update gettext minimal version in README.
- Add a missing dot on the dpkg-buildflags(1) «lfs» feature paragraph.
Spotted by Helge Kreutzmann <[email protected]>.
- Document DPKG_COLORS environment variable for all programs using it.

- Document textdomain() and ngettext() replacement functions in
Dpkg::Gettext POD.
- Clarify arch-qualified dependency simplification in Dpkg::Deps POD.
- Improve Dpkg::Deps modules and methods documentation.
- Fix typo in deb-changes(5). Closes: #902616
- Clarify awaiting state for interest and activate directives.
Closes: #904060
- Fix man page markup. Closes: #900033, #900035, #900040
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason <[email protected]>.
- Fix Doxygen comment for libdpkg dpkg_arch_find() function.
- Document the dangers of using start-stop-daemon(8) only with --pidfile
as matching option with the pid file owned by a non-privileged user.
* Code internals:
- Do not use stringy eval to define different sub implementations,
just assign an anonymous sub to the typeglob.
- Use memccpy() instead of strncpy() to quiesce a gcc-8 warning.
- Change pkgbin_name_needs_arch() to never arch-qualify packages that
have an empty or no architecture, which was already handled as part
of varbuf_add_archqual().
- libdpkg: Factor out cached arch-qualified package name generation into
new pkgbin_name_archqual() function.
- libdpkg: Add new pkg_name() and pkgbin_name() const variants.
- libdpkg, dselect: Use new pkg_name_const() and pkgbin_name_const().
- libdpkg: Rename struct pkginfo files member to archives.
- dpkg: Call ensure_package_clientdata() defensively.
- dpkg: For read-only state functions, check that clientdata is allocated
before using it.
- libdpkg: Move files list information from dpkg clientdata to pkginfo.
- dpkg: Move ensure_package_clientdata() into its own file.
- libdpkg: Move db-fsys code from src to lib/dpkg.
- libdpkg: Rename pkg-db module to pkg-hash.
- libdpkg: Simplify pkg_files_blank() by using a pointer to pointer to
track the previous entry.
- libdpkg: Factor out package files handling into its own module.
- libdpkg: Switch to a new tiny struct to track file on-disk identity.
This should reduce the run-time memory used.
- libdpkg: Reset nfiles in files_db_reset().
- libdpkg: Split push_cleanup() into push_cleanup_fallback().
- Switch from strchr() + strlen() to strchrnul().
- libdpkg: Change dpkg_error to track errno values.
- libdpkg: Add new varbuf_new() and varbuf_free() functions.
- libdpkg: Add new file_slurp() function.
- libdpkg: Switch db-fsys to use the new file_slurp() function.
- libdpkg: Add new pkg_infodb_reset_dir().
- libdpkg: Add new m_dup() function.
- libdpkg: Factor out package stanza printing into its own function.
- libdpkg: Split pager specific code into its own module.
- libdpkg: Add pager spawning and reaping support.
- Use new pager spawning support instead of open-coding it, or piping it
via a shell invocation, which required metacharacter escaping.
- dpkg-query: Split enqperpackage() into each different action.
* Build system:
- Set distribution tarball format to ustar, instead of default v7 format.
- Mark PO4A and POD2MAN as precious variables.
- Automatically replace -Wno- with -W when testing compiler flags,
instead of passing the positive form manually.
- Enable clang -Wdocumentation warning if available.
- Enable gcc-7 -Wregister warning if available.
- Add CPAN distribution machinery for the perl modules. Closes: #821177
- Add an autogen script to help people bootstrap the project.
- Distribute the man.stamp from VPATH.
- Preserve timestamps when distributing man pages.
- Add a GitLab CI configuration file.
- Disable C optimization levels when configuring for code coverage.
* Packaging:
- Install update-alternatives policykit-1 file.
- Add Breaks to libdpkg-perl against pkg-kde-tools (<< 0.15.28~), as
that package is using private modules with no API guarantees, that
obviously broke due to recent changes in 1.19.0. Closes: #878919
- Add Breaks on debhelper << 10.10.1~ to dpkg-dev, so that debhelper users
wanting to use R³ support do not need a versioned dependency on dpkg-dev.
- Add Breaks dgit << 3.13~ to libdpkg-perl, as older dgit versions assumed
that Dpkg::Compression::Process was available, via implicit import
from Dpkg::Source::Package.
Reported by Ian Jackson <[email protected]>.
- Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.1 (no changes needed).
- Add bzip2 and xz-utils to Build-Depends, required by the functional test
suite, but shadowed by dpkg-dev from the build system pulling those in.
- Add versioned libncurses-dev as the first Build-Depends alternative.
Thanks to Sven Joachim <[email protected]>.
- Do not pass VERBOSE to test suite, as we are not using any automake
test driver, so it does not get honored.
- Rename maintainer-build DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to new standardized terse.
- Enable verbose test suite only in non-terse builds.
- Add a Suggests on sensible-utils to libdpkg-perl.
- Switch libdpkg-perl again to depend on perl:any, now that debootstrap
in stable (stretch) supports arch-qualified dependencies.
- Update libdpkg-perl public module list in package description.
- Add Breaks on apt (<< 1.7~b) for --status-fd duplicate removals.
* Test suite:
- Skip Dpkg::OpenPGP test if gpg is not present.
- Check POD in all perl scripts.
- Consider *.PL also to be perl files.
- Infer automatically the unit test data directory.
- Infer automatically the unit test temp directory.
- Add new po author test case (use i18nspector if available).
- Add new test cases to clarify arch-qualified dependency simplification.
- Add several TODO tests cases for dependency simplification.
- Add new cppcheck author test.
- Add support for new test_get_srcdir() test_get_builddir().
- Add new unit tests for namevalue, fsys-hash and pkg-hash libdpkg modules.
- Improve coverage of perl unit tests.
- Delete fixup lines from i18nspector output instead of emptying them.
- Add new codespell author test.
- Add new test that the public libdpkg headers can be compiled with C++.
