Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.18.4
Severity: normal
Hello,
To properly express bootstrap stages, it is convenient to introduce
packages which do not usually exist in the archive, to express that they
provide only part of the expected support. The problem is that these
packages end up in the Binary field of the .changes file of unstaged
builds too, and thus trigger NEW processing, while we won't actually
ever upload such binary package.
A solution would be that dpkg-genchanges is added a -P parameter, and by
default (unstaged) not include staged-only binary packages in Binary.
For instance (this is a hurd-only example, but such examples will
surely arise for linux packages too), the hurd package normally builds
hurd-dev which contains all the usual hurd system libraries. The stage1
profile can only ship the headers, and not the libraries themselves,
so we introduced a hurd-headers-dev binary package, built by stage1,
which contains only headers, so that further bootstrap steps can
depend on hurd-headers-dev instead of hurd-dev to get them (hurd-dev
also Provides hurd-headers-dev).
We then had to pass NEW due to this addition, because the .changes
file had it in the Binary: field. And then we had to pass NEW again
in the latest upload, for the same reason: apparently between the two
uploads some cleaning process in ftp-master had dropped the knowledge
of the package, probably because it's not actually uploaded in the
archive. Perhaps ftp-master should be more cautious about this, but I'd
say dpkg-genchanges should just not even mention this package, what do
you think?

.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* dpkg-source: Stop filtering @builddeps@ from Testsuite-Triggers field.
Closes: #910734
* dpkg-genchanges: Only reference binary packages being uploaded, which
means that for a source-only upload, the Binary and Description fields
should be empty. Closes: #818618
* dpkg-scanpackages: Do not compute unnecessary checksums when using the
--hash argument. Based on a patch by Chris Lamb <[email protected]>.
Closes: #916456
* dpkg-scanpackages: Emit a warning with the list of repeat packages.
Prompted by Johannes Schauer <[email protected]>.
* start-stop-daemon: Check whether standalone --pidfile use is secure.
Prompted by Michael Orlitzky <[email protected]>.
* start-stop-daemon: Print complete verbose lines, instead of partial lines
with no newlines and a final print with a newline.
* start-stop-daemon: Add new --notify-await and --notify-timeout options,
which implement the systemd readiness protocol for services.
Closes: #910707
* update-alternatives: Add new --debug option.
* update-alternatives: Fix removal of obsolete slaves from the linked list.
Reported by Andreas Beckmann <[email protected]>. Closes: #916799
* vendor.mk: Fix dpkg_vendor_derives_from macro documentation.
Thanks to Colin Watson <[email protected]>. Closes: #913816
* 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
messages.
* libdpkg: Detect unsupported tar entry types to give better error messages.
* libdpkg: Add new db-fsys:Files and db-fsys:Last-Modified virtual fields.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Changelog::Debian: Preserve modelines at EOF. Closes: #916056
Thanks to Chris Lamb <[email protected]> for initial test cases.

* Build system:
- get-version: Use a format string with printf.
- run-script: Use $() instead of deprecated ``.
- run-script: Remove unused PERL_PROFILE variable, PERL5OPT can be used
instead, and does not require leaving an unquoted variable around.

- Build.PL: Set environment variables only for CPAN tests.
- Build.PL: Set locale for CPAN tests to C. Fixes CPAN#127314.
- configure: Split AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE arguments into different lines.
