derivations (0.57.20210107-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Observed that, as of upstream version 0.57.20190831, the book's
    source has been updated to build using modern, standard tools
    like PDFLaTeX and Hyperref; and, consequently, that upstream
    has retired and deleted btool/, removing the file PDF.cc and thus
    obviating (as of the present upload to sid) Lucas Nussbaum's
    Sept. 2020 bug report (closes: #971095).  Thanked Lucas for the
    timely, helpful report.
  * Reconfigured and rebuilt for upload to Debian sid.
  * Conformed to Standards-Version 4.5.1.
  * Specified the binary to be Multi-Arch: all.
  * Temporarily worked around new, perhaps buggy behavior by TeX Live.
    (In the new TeX Live, Pst-pdf seems to interact badly with
    Hyperref.  The present workaround works for now but provokes Ps2pdf
    to complain of deprecated usage; so before the Derivations package
    can implement a permanent solution, the future manner in
    which TeX Live addresses the apparent bug shall have to
    be observed.)
  * In tex/Makefile, added a missing, apparently optional = sign to an
    invocation of latex(1) and fixed the definition of the $(ch)
    variable.  (These changes will be sent upstream.)
  * Updated tex/README.  (This change too will be sent upstream.)

  * Thanked Pino Toscano and Michael Gilbert for their helpful NMUs.

    drawing attention to this bug.

derivations (0.52.20100310-1.1) unstable; urgency=low


  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Switched to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format.
  * Moved helper development files out of the Debian diff in
    'upstream_helper' patch.
  * Applied patch from Matthias Klose <email address hidden> as
    'build_fixes' patch (Closes: #615671):
    + Fix FTBFS with g++-4.5.
    + Fix FTBFS with ld --as-needed.
    + Don't build with -Werror.
  * Added'poppler_api_change' patch to solve a libpoppler API
    change (Closes: #652081).
  * Use 'dh_prep' instead of the deprecated 'dh_clean -k'.
  * Simplified build dependencies, as suggested by Frank Küster (Closes:

derivations (0.52.20100310-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * (Yan Morin) Fixed the broken debian/watch (closes: #550795).
    Thanked Mr. Morin for showing the maintainer how to do it.
  * Updated to the new upstream version.  Refer to doc/changelog in the
    source or to /usr/share/doc/derivations/changelog.gz in the binary
    for details.
  * Built for upload to Debian sid.
  * Updated to Debian sid's current Standards-Version: 3.8.4.
    Observed however (for the maintainer's own later reference) that
    stable Debian lenny had as of this date advanced only as far
    as Standards-Version: 3.8.0.
  * In debian/control:
    + (Jonas Smedegaard) Replaced 'gs-gpl' with 'ghostscript' as a
      build-dependency (closes: #539655).  Thanked Mr. Smedegaard
      for explaining clearly and concisely the need to do so.
    + (Michael Bienia) Allowed 'texlive-binaries' as an
      alternative build-dependency to the evidently
      deprecated 'texlive-base-bin' (closes: #566340),
      though retained for the time being the old dependency
      as an option for ease of backporting.  Thanked Mr. Bienia
      for the timely analysis thereto.
    + Per Policy 7.7, as notified by Lintian, moved the 'debhelper'
      dependency from Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends.
    + As Debhelper evidently demands, added "Depends: ${misc:Depends}"
      to the binary's control stanza.
    + Reviewed and updated the version-requirements of several
      other dependencies.
