Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
Please merge changes from debian unstable
dpkg (1.14.7) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add back $dpkglib into @INC, needed by the controllib.pl require in
822-date. Closes: #440962
* Document in dpkg-scanpackages that apt now requires Packages.bz2 in
preference to Packages.gz. Closes: #440973
* Stop recognizing the obsolete Optional field when building packages.
* Use fakeroot, if present, by default to gain root privileges in
dpkg-buildpackage.
* Fix typos in dpkg-deb.1 and start-stop-daemon.8. Closes: #441051
Thanks to A. Costa.
* After '<prerm> remove' fails and while doing the error unwinding, if
the '<postinst> abort-remove' call succeeds, preserve the old status
instead of unconditionally setting it to 'Installed'. Closes: #432893
Thanks to Brian M. Carlson.
* Add Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields to debian/control.
* Add a Homepage field to debian/control (to be changed later when
there's a more formal site).
* Allow comparing unsupported architectures for equality and identity.
Based on a patch by Frank Lichtenheld. Closes: #427210
* Document Origin and Bugs fields in deb-control.5. Closes: #173463
* Do not replace substvars for build dependencies (it was not supported
anyway).
[ Frank Lichtenheld ]
* Add _MTN to dpkg-source -i default regex. Suggested by Jari Aalto.
* Convert dpkg-buildpackage to a Perl script.
Fix some bugs in the new script detected in experimental:
Closes: #444362
* dpkg-buildpackage accepts a -j<n> option now which will set
MAKEFLAGS(-j<n>) and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS(parallel=<n>) accordingly.
parallel=<n> in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS will be passed to MAKEFLAGS as
well. Based on an idea by Robert Millan. Closes: #440636
* Allow dpkg-source -I without a pattern which will load a default
list of pattern similar to -i without regexp. Patch by
Jari Aalto. Closes: #440972
* Rework documentation of dpkg-source's -i and -I options.
Closes: #323911, #440956
* Add --utf8-strings to gpg call in dpkg-buildpackage since
that seems to be the better default. Suggested by Székelyi Szabolcs.
Closes: #379418
* Let dpkg-buildpackage error out early if the version number from
the changelog is not a valid Debian version. Closes: #216075
* Fix dpkg-source to create correct diffs for files with spaces in
their name (apparantly we don't have many of those ;).
Based on a patch by Marcel Toele. Closes: #445380
