gnucap (1:0.36~20171003-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Split gnucap package into several packages
This is required, as gnucap now provides a shared library.
* libgnucap0 + libgnucap-dev (Closes: #224467)
These packages contain the shared library and provide the files necessary
to build/link against it, respectively. For example users can create their
own binary programs to substitute the "gnucap" example executable provided
in the "gnucap" package. Other packages may depend on libgnucap-dev, if
they make use of the gnucap library, which will provide most gnucap
functionality without the need to install all gnucap packages and files.
(Closes: #224467)
* Introduce gnucap-default-plugins0 package
The plugins that were previous linked into the main executable are now
shipped as a separate (optional) binary, the "default plugins". These are
loaded by "gnucap", unless overridden in /etc/gnucap.rc (which does not
exist by default). This package must hence be installed, if the
functionality of the previous gnucap package is sought.
The binary plugin is installed in a directory depending on the
architecture and on the library soname it has been tested against.
* gnucap-common package (Closes: #693267)
Contains the development headers and build infrastructure. This package
is architecture independent.
* man pages for /usr/bin/gnucap and /usr/bin/gnucap-{conf,modelgen}. The
upstream project makes no attempt in providing these, hence they are
maintained here.
* get-orig-source target, snapshotting upstream git
There are no release tarballs, just tags, nowadays. These are equivalent
to releases ("development snapshots"). This is new and was not required for
previous tarball releases.
* set sysconfdir to /etc, equivalent to --sysconfdir in autotools.
There's the possibility to override things in /etc/gnucap.rc.
* update d/copyright
* move package to salsa (from alioth/pkg-electronics)
* debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.3
Checked against
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/upgrading-checklist.txt
The seemingly relevant items do not require action.
- 5.6.26 VCS-*, "https", for example
- 10.2 plugins are in /usr/lib/triplet/gnucap0
- 4.15 reproducibility not formally tested
- 2.5 priority is optional
- 8.1.1 invokes ldconfig.
- 4.9.1 there is no doc (any more?) use wiki page instead
- 5.2 control does not mention -dbg packages
* bump compat to 11
Now depend on dh >= 11. No action required, according to debhelper(7).
* remove Wesley J. Landaker and Hamish Moffatt from Uploaders as they not
active anymore
Thanking both for their work on the packages of gnucap in the past!
(Closes: #759987, #831480)
* adding a lintian override for http URL in watch file
Lintian is complaining about the usage of http:// instead of https:// on
the URL http://gnucap.org/archive/ in watch, a file for automatic checking
for new upstream versions.
gnucap.org isn't using the https protocol (yet or never will) and we need
to use http here. Note that tarball releases are currently suspended, and
git tags are used instead, so this might need more work.

* Fix FTCBFS: Add gnucap:native to Build-Depends. (Closes: #878364)
