Changelog
yum (3.2.21-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Adopting package. Former maintainer retired from Debian recently, and
co-maintainer expressed he had no further interest in yum in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/02/msg00413.html.
I (Thomas Goirand) will be co-maintaining this package with my employee
Manuel Amador: I feel comfortable with Debian packaging, while Manuel is
a python and RPM system specialist. The maintainer email address of this
package (signed with my Debian GPG key) forwards to both of us.
* New upstream release
* Added Dm-Upload-Allowed: yes field.
* Forward-ported documentation, sqlite and Makefile patch from last Debian
package in Lenny, added build-dep dpatch (patches are now separate and not
generated in the diff.gz which I think is ugly packaging).
* Removed upstream dependency on python-iniparse and patched to be able to
work without it as python-iniparse is not in Debian (yet).
* Removed Debian dependency on python-pyme (which is a mistake of the last
NMU that thought it was the same as python-gpgme), removed upstream
dependency on python-gpgme, patched to work without it (Closes: #496137).
* Note: this is only a temporary package before we can have python-gpgme,
and python-iniparse inside Debian. This package version aims at a qa upload
to fix the current situation in Lenny where the yum package is broken
because it is trying to call a python module that doesn't exists in Lenny
(see src/misc.py and our patch for it). It seems that 2 other maintainers
have already started working on packaging python-gpgme and python-iniparse.
