flex 2.5.39-8~ubuntu14.04.1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
flex (2.5.39-8~ubuntu14.04.1) trusty-backports; urgency=medium * No-change backport to trusty (LP: #1365896) flex (2.5.39-8) unstable; urgency=low * Added a missing build depends on vm-super-minimal, reuired fro building the pdf documentation, (Closes: #752151). * Move flex.pdf to the flex-doc package. This makes it possible for the flex package's contents to not change if texinfo is not installed, e.g. in the stage1 build profile. Thanks to Peter Pentchev <email address hidden> * Move the flex-doc build dependencies to B-D-I. Move the TeX Live dependencies to Build-Depends-Indep and only build the HTML and PDF documentation if actually requested. This breaks a circular build dependency by not requiring texlive for the build of the arch-dependent flex binary packages. (Closes: #749344). * Bug fix #752151: "pdfetex error about missing cm-super", thanks to Helmut Grohne and Cyril Brulebois * Bug fix: #749344" Allow bootstrapping without texlive and dh-autoreconf", thanks to Peter Pentchev flex (2.5.39-7) unstable; urgency=low * dh-autoreconf already depends on all the autotools that it will attempt to use to rebuild the package's build framework, so remove the direct (and redundant) dependencies on the autotools packages. Suggestion by Peter Pentchev (Closes: #749341). * The patch also cleaned up the creation of examples and links for man pages. * Bug fix #749341: "Drop the autotools build dependencies, dh-autoreconf is sufficient", thanks to Peter Pentchev flex (2.5.39-6) unstable; urgency=low * The code that is generated by flex has an off-by-one error in the generated #line pragmas that occur after the second %% line in the source file. Marcus Rausch supplied the patch that fixes it. (Closes: #542482). * Bug fix #542482: "Off-by-one error in line statements", thanks to Wouter Verhelst flex (2.5.39-5) unstable; urgency=low * Adapted patch from Matthias Klose to add pre-seeding of autoconf values as paramaters, fixing cross builds. flex uses runtime checks for configure tests, and preseeding allows cross build to succeed, * Bug fix: "fix cross build", thanks to Matthias Klose. Applied fix manually (Closes: #746172). flex (2.5.39-4) unstable; urgency=low * Bug fix: "Flex 2.5.39-3 has a typo in installman", thanks to Gianfranco Costamagna. over -> over (Closes: #745228). flex (2.5.39-3) unstable; urgency=medium * Move libl.a from flex to libfl-dev, for real * install link manually for libfl-dev alone, cleaning up the rules file in the process. flex (2.5.39-2) unstable; urgency=low * New bug fixing release * Bug fix: "typo in README.Debian: libfla_pic.a -> libfl_pic.a", thanks to Jakub Wilk (Closes: #744853). * Bug fix: "libfl-dev and flex-old: error when trying to install together", thanks to Ralf Treinen. The package libfl-dev needs to replace and Break the flex-old package too, (Closes: #744833). * Bug fix: "redundant redeclaration of ‘isatty’", thanks to Ludovic Rousseau. This duplication was removed in the last upstream release. (Closes: #488274). * Bug fix: "flex-2.5.35 bug", thanks to Yuriy Z. scan.c now declares n as size_t, in the new upstream version. (Closes: #633008). * Bug fix: "make check failure", thanks to Sayre, Alan N. The new version of flex does succeed in running make check (it would not build otherwise) (Closes: #632095). flex (2.5.39-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release * internationalization: added support for various languages. Fix make install target to not fail when the flex++ program is already installed. various portability fixes that quiet compiler warnings on 64-bit hosts. numerous bug fixes. * Moved to a new dh based build system. Also moved to a 3.0 source format, using debcherry. * Bug fix: "cross build support", thanks to Eleanor Chen. We have moved to a standard dh based build, so we should not have this issue any more. (Closes: #719955). * Bug fix: "examples not included into binary packages", thanks to Carl Fürstenberg. Examples are in this version. (Closes: #560387). * Bug fix: "new upstream release 2.5.37", thanks to Peter Eisentraut (Closes: #729759). * Bug fix: "flex, new release available for download", thanks to Gianfranco Costamagna (Closes: #736345). * Bug fix: "please mark flex as Multi-Arch: allowed", thanks to Steve Langasek. Redid the patch to work with dh. (Closes: #611230). * Updating to a new build system means that the changes made to the build system in the NMU are not needed, dh does the right thing. * The new upstream release added the prototypes in re-entrant mode, so we are no longer carrying those patches. -- Iain Lane <email address hidden> Wed, 17 Sep 2014 12:46:53 +0100

- flex: fast lexical analyzer generator
Flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognized lexical
patterns in text. It reads the given input files for a description of a
scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of regular
expressions and C code, called rules. Flex generates as output a C source
file, lex.yy.c, which defines a routine yylex(). This file is compiled
and linked with the -lfl library to produce an executable. When the
executable is run, it analyzes its input for occurrences of the regular
expressions. Whenever it finds one, it executes the corresponding C code.
