** Description changed: - Binary package hint: checkinstall + Please sync checkinstall 1.6.1-8 (universe) from Debian unstable (main). - Debian has a new version which has to be merged. + Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped: + The Ubuntu change of replacing 'which' with '/usr/bin/which' was rejected by the Debian Maintainer. + + "I'm not really sure it's checkinstall's job to work around a broken which. + Aliases shouldn't break checkinstall. What would break checkinstall is a + broken which that is present before /usr/bin in $PATH. However, if we care + about this then we should start adding full paths to all programs invoked, + and there lies madness." + + Since the Debian Maintainer does not feel that this patch is needed, it + will not be applied upstream. As a result, we will need to maintain this + diff in Ubuntu. By dropping this change, we will be able to finally sync + checkinstall from Debian. + + Changelog since current jaunty version 1.6.1-7ubuntu1: + + checkinstall (1.6.1-8) unstable; urgency=low + + * Recommend make since it's the most used install tool. (Closes: #487964). + * Use quilt for managing patches to upstream sources. + * Allow Requires to be used in Debian. (Closes: #469639) + * Turn off system translation by default, since it is currently broken. + * Update the Vcs-* tags since we moved to Git. + + -- Felipe Sateler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:34:06 -0400
