 dpkg (1.14.16.6) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Let dpkg-gensymbols skip directories which are just symlinks when scanning
     the package build dir.
   * Bump urgency to medium to compensate lost days in testing migration due to
     the two last uploads.

dpkg (1.14.16.5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix dpkg-gensymbols handling of #include so that one can include multiple
     times the same file and have it properly taken into account.
   * Add many armel-specific symbols to dpkg-gensymbols' blacklist.
     Closes: #462318

dpkg (1.14.16.3) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Raphael Hertzog ]
   * Remove the ":utf8" layer that utf8-encodes already valid utf8.
     Closes: #462098
   * Disable variable substitution in dpkg-genchanges. Closes: #462079, #462089

   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Make start-stop-daemon set the supplementary groups if the real user or
     group are different than the ones we should switch to. Closes: #462075
   * Fix segfault in start-stop-daemon when using --group w/o --chuid (as
     a side effect, using --group alone works for the first time in years).
     Closes: #462072
   * Fix timeout computations for start-stop-daemon --retry option. This has
     not worked properly for a long time (maybe never), but came to light
     due to #460903's fix. Closes: #462104

dpkg (1.14.16.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Change uid after changing gid and initializing supplementary groups in
     start-stop-daemon. Closes: #462018
   * Change temporary dpkg Breaks on dpkg-dev (= 1.14.13) and (= 1.14.14)
     to Conflicts, so that users from etch can upgrade to sid (or lenny
     once dpkg has migrated).

dpkg (1.14.16.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add libtimedate-perl to dpkg-dev's Depends and to Build-Depends.
     Reported by Aurelien Jarno. Closes: #461875

dpkg (1.14.16) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Add build-essential as an implicit Build-Depends in dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
     Closes: #402901
   * Add build-essential to dpkg-dev Recommends.
   * Do not warn about unrecognized Homepage field in binary package stanzas
     in dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-source. Closes: #460309
   * Do not use the enoent helper binary, and use perl POSIX module instead.
   * Keep checking for the process when start-stop-daemon is called with
     --retry even if the daemon removed the pidfile. Closes: #460903
     Thanks to Justin Pryzby for the analysis.
   * Make --quiet silence --test in start-stop-daemon. Closes: #367998
   * Check current uid and gid in start-stop-daemon before calling setuid,
     setgid and initgroups. Closes: #222524
     Based on a patch by Samuel Thibault.
   * Remove unimplemented --test option from update-alternatives.
     Closes: #392432, #461247
   * Additionally check if errno is EEXIST after rmdir(2), as SUSv3 specifies
     that on non-empty directories it can either return that or ENOTEMPTY.
     This fixes run time problems on Solaris.
   * Fix start-stop-daemon --help output to state that --name is one of the
     possible required options to use. Closes: #354999
   * Demote dselect from priority important to optional. Closes: #461327
   * Fix portability issues on HP-UX, by not using backticks inside double
     quotes in m4 files. Closes: #24514
   * Switch Maintainer address to <email address hidden> from
     <email address hidden>.
   * Add README.feature-removal-schedule describing the features to be removed
     and README.api describing the provided APIs.

   [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
   * Make the -L option of dpkg-parsechangelog actually work (it's
     only been eleven years...)
   * Import the code from my external Parse::DebianChangelog as
     Dpkg::Changelog and Dpkg::Changelog::Debian. Using this
     from parsechangelog/debian adds the following requested
     features:
      - Option to use a non-lossy format. Closes: #95579
      - Various options to better control how many entries
        should be displayed. Closes: #226932

   [ Raphael Hertzog ]
   * Replaced all the remaining code in controllib.pl by new modules. All
     scripts have been adjusted to use the new modules and controllib.pl has
     been removed.
   * The code to parse debian/control is available in a perl module
     Dpkg::Control. Closes: #26554
   * Temporarily add a Breaks: dpkg-dev (= 1.14.13), dpkg-dev (= 1.14.14) on
     dpkg for the convenience of sid users. Closes: #459815
   * Update dpkg-source(1) to explain better what the directory after -b is.
     Closes: #323606
   * Also force version in ${binary:Version} if dpkg-gencontrol -v<version>
     is used. That way we're consistent with the definition of that variable
     in deb-substvars(5). Closes: #433477
   * Add support of Dm-Upload-Allowed field. Closes: #453400
   * Fix dpkg-shlibdeps's filtering of duplicated dependencies in fields of
     lesser priority (when -d is used).
   * Fix behaviour of dpkg-shlibdeps when the same binary was passed multiple
     times for use in different dependency fields (-d option).
   * Change logic of -si option of dpkg-genchanges to include the original
     tarball only if the current upstream version differs from the upstream
     version of the previous changelog entry. Replaces the heuristic based
     on revision number (-0, -0.1 or -1). Closes: #28701
   * Some code refactoring on dpkg-genchanges and bug fixes in the generation
     of the Description: field. As a result, source only uploads will no more
     have Description fields.
   * Add support of wildcard entries in symbols files. This makes it much
     simpler to write symbols files for well managed libraries but in that case
     dpkg-gensymbols can't check any more if symbols have disappeared.
     Closes: #459359

   [ Updated manpages translations ]
   * Fix typo in French. Closes: #460021
   * German (Helge Kreutzmann).

   [ Updated dpkg translations ]
   * Basque (Piarres Beobide). Closes: #459565
   * French (Christian Perrier).
   * German, Basque, Norwegian Bokmål, Swedish, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese,
     Galician unfuzzied.
   * Russian (Yuri Kozlov). Closes: #460708

   [ Updated scripts translations ]
   * Russian (Yuri Kozlov). Closes: #460708
   * Swedish (Peter Karlsson).
