[ Yavor Doganov ] * New upstream release 0.26.2: + Rename packages following the SONAME change: - gnustep-back0.25 -> gnustep-back0.26 - gnustep-back0.25-art -> gnustep-back0.26-art - gnustep-back0.25-cairo -> gnustep-back0.26-cairo + New package gnustep-back0.26-xlib: prepare for removal of the art backend due to removal of src:libart-lgpl (Addresses: #885786). * debian/watch: Switch to ftp.gnustep.org; much more reliable. * debian/compat: Bump compat level to 11. * debian/rules: Replace shell comments with makefile comments; M-x wh-cl. Use convenience variables where possible. (DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND): Add -Wl,--no-undefined. (override_dh_testdir): New target to regenerate debian/control. (override_dh_auto_configure): Substitute GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_DOC as well when generating gnustep-back-common.install. Configure the xlib backend in a separate builddir; handle the generation of maintainer scripts and .install/.links files. (override_dh_auto_build): Pass dpkg-buildflags explicitly as OBJCFLAGS and CFLAGS are being reset by gnustep-make. Build documentation. Pass $(optim) for proper noopt support. Pass tools=no and fonts=no to the cairo build. Remove unnecessary tools recipe; add one for xlib. (override_dh_auto_install): Install documentation and the xlib backend. (override_dh_auto_clean): Clean documentation; ignoring errors. Simplify the recipe. (override_dh_strip): Remove in favor of automatic -dbgsym packages. (override_dh_shlibdeps): Add override to fix circular dependencies; regression introduced in 0.25.0-1 (Closes: #882078). Thanks to Bill Allombert for the report. * debian/templates/control.m4: Remove -dbg, add new package -xlib. (Build-Depends): Require debhelper >= 11 and gnustep-make >= 2.7.0-3 for the optim variable definition. (Section): Remove section "libs" for all packages as it is wrong according to lintian (and to me). (Depends): Relax dependencies on -common to ease transitions with the ultimate goal to support partial upgrades. (Breaks, Replaces): Remove; obsolete. (Standards-Version): Declare compliance with 4.1.3. * debian/control: Regenerate. * debian/templates/gnustep-back-common.install.in: Add @GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_DOC@/*. * debian/templates/gnustep-back-common.prerm.in: Also delete /var/lib/GNUstep, another regession in 0.25.0-1 (Closes: #832349). Thanks Andreas Beckmann. * debian/patches/autoreconf.patch: New; fix autoreconf failure. * debian/patches/no-freetype-config.patch: New; use PKG_CHECK_MODULES to detect freetype as freetype-config is being removed (Closes: #887719). * debian/patches/link-libs.patch: New; fix FTBFS with ld --no-undefined. * debian/patches/fix-spelling-error.patch: Fix another spelling error. * debian/patches/series: Update. * debian/clean: Simplify; add Documentation/version.texi. * debian/font_cacher.1: New file. * debian/gnustep-back-common.manpages: Install it. * debian/changelog: Whitespace cleanup. * debian/copyright: Update copyright years, add debian packaging copyright/license information, add configure license, fix LGPL/GPL license notices, fix indentation of license texts.
