Changelog
dpkg (1.18.13) unstable; urgency=medium
* Improve PIE flags support:
- Retroactively document in the changelog that PIE is enabled by default
on all supported architectures regardless of gcc doing so itself on a
subset of them.
- When emitting PIE flags on architectures where gcc does not inject
those itself, do it via a specs file too, so that maintainers can
use them unconditionally regardless of the object being compiled
or linked.
- When injecting -no-pie for linking via the gcc specs file also
inject -fno-PIE.
- Update the documentation.
* Perl modules:
- Do not try to load non-files in Dpkg::Dist::Files load_dir method.
Fixes test failures on non-Linux architectures. Closes: #843436
* Packaging:
- Add missing Breaks on old libdpkg-perl to dpkg. Closes: #843429
Thanks to Sven Joachim <email address hidden>.
- Ship deb-src-files(5) man page in dpkg-dev.
* Build system:
- Use deterministic dates for generated man pages. Closes: #843469
Thanks to Reiner Herrmann <email address hidden>.
