Changelog
debian-edu (1.925) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Mike Gabriel ]
* tasks/*: Remove Why: fields. Not used by blends task page. Too much
information and too hard to maintain.
* tasks/*: Remove Responsible: fields. Not up-to-date and too hard to
maintain continuously.
* tasks/*: Drop NeedConfig: fields that are set to "no". Too much
non-information not used anywhere.
* tasks/*: Drop NeedConfig: fields that are set to "no" plus a comment.
Not providing information to the blends framework, either.
* tasks/*: Drop Note: fields. Not required by blends framework, not
providing real additional information, thus too much noise.
* tasks/development: Turn Note: field for eclipse into Remark: field
(i.e., this gets processed by the blends task page script an
provides extra information TTW.
* tasks/*: Drop all NeedConfig: fields with '?'. Not really helpful, either.
* tasks/*: Rewrite Needconfig: fields to NeedConfig:.
* tasks/*: De-capitalize the word "yes" in NeedConfig: fields.
* tasks/*: NeedConfig: fields with no explicit "yes", add the "yes".
* tasks/*: Use "yes - ..." in NeedConfig: fields instead of "yes, ...".
* tasks/*: Remove trailing backslashes. Not required anymore.
* tasks/*: Drop Homepage: License: and Pkg-Description fields. Will soon
not be supported anymore. (Thanks to Andreas Tille for informing us).
* tasks/*: Break-up lines with multiple packages, so that there is now
only one line per package, preceded with one blank, and trailing komma
after the package name. This makes the tasks files much more machine-
parseable.
* tasks/*: Don't break Enhances: field into multi-lines. Not supported
by blends-dev.
* Drop all trailing white-spaces from this package.
* debian/control: Bump versioned B-D: blends-dev (>= 0.6.97). Required

fields that list the first package in the next line).

* tasks/main-server: task/main-server: Drop koha. Not in Debian, Koha is
heavily oversized for school libraries (experience at one of our local
schools).

enable the new "GENCONTROL_DEPENDS" mode in blends-dev, we set
