cernlib 2005.05.09-1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

cernlib (2005.05.09-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream release.
    - Incorporates the security fixes from Debian version 2004.11.04-3,
      making a number of Debian-specific patches obsolete.
    - Fixes build failures with gcc 4 (closes: #303098).  Thanks also to
      Andreas Jochens <email address hidden> for some additional fixes now in new
      patch 318.
    - Note new upstream source directory in debian/copyright.

  * Post-Sarge spring clean-up of debian directory structure:
    - Move all debhelper-related snippets into a debian/debhelper directory.
      Symlink to them at build time and delete the symlinks at clean time.
    - Likewise, add a debian/lintian directory and store overrides there.
      (No need for symlinks; they are copied into packages by debian/rules.)
    - Move debian/generic/patches to debian/patches in preparation for
      dpatchization.
    - Rename debian/generic to debian/add-ons to better describe its contents.
    - Move debian/local/control to debian/control.d, remove-deadpool to
      add-ons/bin, and the other files in debian/local directly under the
      debian directory.
    - Rename rules-help.txt to README.source in attempt to comply with the
      Policy proposal in bug #250202.  Add "patched" target to debian/rules
      as a synonym for "patch".
    - Edit all files referring to these paths appropriately.

  * Post-Sarge spring clean-up of dependencies in debian/control.d/*:
    - Remove lesstif-dev from Build-Depends and Depends; we only want to
      use lesstif2-dev and we no longer are concerned with woody
      backport-ability.
    - Remove the xlibs-dev alternative from Build-Depends for same reasons.
    - Remove all references to version numbers 2003.09.03-2 and earlier
      (dating from > 1.5 years before the release of Sarge):
      . Versioned dependencies on packages >= 2003.09.03-2 become
        unversioned dependencies;
      . Conflicts/Replaces against old packages libcern1, etc. are removed.

  * Post-Sarge removal of woody backward compatibility hack for debconf i18n
    from debian/rules:
    - Move pawserv.templates.master to pawserv.templates.
    - debian/po/POTFILES.in: list debian/pawserv.templates (not .master).
    - debian/control.d/0base.control: Build-Depend on debhelper (>= 4.1.16).
    - debian/control.d/pawserv.control: Depend on debconf (>= 1.2.0).

  * debian/rules, debian/debhelper/pawserv.postinst: Change permissions
    of /var/log/pawserv directory in postinst (with dpkg-statoverride) instead
    of debian/rules, to fix Lintian warning and better guarantee security.
    Also, if the local admin for some reason has overridden our set permissions
    (0700) with dpkg-statoverride, this way his/her changes will be preserved.
    Remove the stat-override in pawserv.postrm.

  * Convert patch system to dpatch, re-applying all extant patches (that are
    still relevant) from scratch.  Be warned, some of the dpatch
    files are shell scripts (a little-used dpatch feature) instead of patches!
    See debian/patches/README in the source package for more information.
    - Add dpatch (>= 2.0.9) to Build-Depends.
    - Patch files are now much more fine-grained.
    - Edit debian/rules to use dpatch targets.
    - Implement hackery in add-ons/Makefile so build still works on
      non-Debian systems.
    - patch 308: allow build process to search for cfortran.h at
      <cfortran/cfortran.h> instead of <cfortran.h>.  As a result, add
      (>= 4.4-5) to cfortran Build-Dependency.  Also edit add-ons/Makefile
      to compensate.
    - patch 602 (part of old patch 041): add #ifdef CERNLIB_DEBIAN protection
      around change to use x-terminal-emulator instead of xterm.

  * Some libraries are bumped from soname version 1 to soname version 2
    because they have a direct or indirect dependency upon libblas and
    liblapack.  We are moving from a dependency on lib{blas,lapack}.so.2 to
    lib{blas,lapack}.so.3 (closes: #280782).  The affected libraries are
    cojets, geant321, herwig59, isajet758, mathlib, pawlib, pdflib804, phtools.
    - Rename debhelper snippets and fix contents where needed.  (Note that
      lib*.install files are edited to s/2004/2005/ even for libraries not
      changing sonames.)
    - Fix Build-Depends in debian/control.d/0base.control.
    - Clean up dependencies in debian/control.d/*.  In most cases the Depends
      on blas and lapack which worked around bug #276145 are no longer
      needed.
    - Make cernlib-base Conflict against all the old -dev packages.
    - Bump sonames in build process (patch 806).
    - Move isajet, eurodec, and cojets data files to a different location
      so they don't conflict with the files in the old soname packages.
      . Edit patch 301 so they are searched for in the correct place.
    - Fix debian/lib*.install and debian/local/control/lib*.control files.
    - Fix cernlib script to link against correct sonames.
    - Delete this item from TODOs.
    - Comment on soname change in debian/NEWS.

  * Separate out libpaw functionality with Lesstif dependencies into another
    library and package, libpawlib-lesstif.so.2 in libpawlib2-lesstif.
    Rename libkuipX11 to libpacklib-lesstif for consistency, and put it in a
    libpacklib1-lesstif package.  Move kuwhag.c from libpacklib-lesstif into
    libgrafX11, as it doesn't require Lesstif.  This reduces the library
    installation footprint for programs like pawX11 and mn_fit that don't
    need Lesstif.
    - Bump shlibs for libgrafX11 since it now has a new function.
    - Edit control files, debhelper files, and cernlib script accordingly.
    - Delete this item from TODOs.
    - Comment on library split in debian/NEWS.
