  • alien (8.82) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Use debhelper compat level v7 when building packages. All changes
        since v4 seem safe for alien's generated rules files.
      * Use dh_prep instead of deprecated dh_clean -k.
      * Print a nice error message when attempting to build a deb from a package
        of an unsupported architecture. Closes: #592625
    
     -- Joey Hess <email address hidden>  Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:04:24 -0400
  • alien (8.81) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Avoid uninitialized value warning when debian/rules fails to run
        due to alien being run in a noexec directory. Closes: #579216
      * Prevent DESTROY stomping on alien's exit code sometimes.
      * Support extracting lzma compressed RPMs. 
        (Patch by unnamed person on some bug tracking system I don't frequent.)
      * Suggest lzma. If not installed, alien will still fail to decompress
        RPMs using it, but will support most rpms, which are not.
      * Fix precedence problem that prevented alien from preserving permissions
        of suid/sgid binaries that are not owned by root.
        (Patch by Duane Waddle, on a bug tracking system I don't frequent, that
        was about the "expire" it 4 days from now. We got lucky Duane, but please
        use the Debian BTS next time!)
      * Support RPMs containing ghost files.
        (Patch by Ben Webb, who would get his patches applied quicker if he
        actually communicated them to the program's author.)

  • alien (8.79) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Typo. Closes: #554379
      * Modify -g and -s to support running on multiple packages at once.
        Closes: #554404
      * Removed all built-in patches for converting specific packages
        (j2sdk, jdk, lgtoclnt, motif) with alien. These were out of date,
        and not maintained. Alien will not include such patches going forward.
      * Depend on the new rpm2cpio package. Closes: #559061

  • alien (8.78) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Add support for rpm 4.7.0, which ignores the buildroot setting in the
        spec file, by passing --buildroot. (Thanks, Pavel Roskin)
    
     -- Joey Hess <email address hidden>  Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:53:05 -0400
  • alien (8.75) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Simplified rules file.
      * Modify maintainer scripts from rpm files to use /bin/bash rather
        than /bin/sh. Many such scripts are only tested on systems where /bin/sh
        is bash, and contain bashisms, which can cause trouble when converting
        the rpm to be used on eg, the Debian family of distributions, where
        /bin/sh can legitimatly be dash. Closes: #495971

  • alien (8.74) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Support bzipped and uncompressed tar files, using tar's auto-compression
        detection. (Requires gnu tar 1.14.91)
      * pod fixes
    
     -- Joey Hess <email address hidden>  Sun, 15 Feb 2009 19:51:54 -0500
  • alien (8.73) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Fix pkg generation to not include /prototype in all packages.
