flex 2.5.39-8 source package in Ubuntu RTM

Changelog

flex (2.5.39-8) unstable; urgency=low


  * Added a missing build depends on vm-super-minimal, reuired fro
    building the pdf documentation,  (Closes: #752151).
  * Move flex.pdf to the flex-doc package. This makes it possible for the
    flex package's contents to not change if texinfo is not installed,
    e.g. in the stage1 build profile.  Thanks to Peter Pentchev

  * Move the flex-doc build dependencies to B-D-I. Move the TeX Live
    dependencies to Build-Depends-Indep and only build the HTML and PDF
    documentation if actually requested. This breaks a circular build
    dependency by not requiring texlive for the build of the
    arch-dependent flex binary packages.  (Closes: #749344).
  * Bug fix #752151: "pdfetex error about missing cm-super", thanks to
    Helmut Grohne and Cyril Brulebois
  * Bug fix: #749344" Allow bootstrapping without texlive and
    dh-autoreconf", thanks to Peter Pentchev

flex: fast lexical analyzer generator

 Flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognized lexical
 patterns in text. It reads the given input files for a description of a
 scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of regular
 expressions and C code, called rules. Flex generates as output a C source
 file, lex.yy.c, which defines a routine yylex(). This file is compiled
 and linked with the -lfl library to produce an executable. When the
 executable is run, it analyzes its input for occurrences of the regular
 expressions. Whenever it finds one, it executes the corresponding C code.
