sysnews (0.9-19) experimental; urgency=medium * QA upload. * Ran wrap-and-sort. * debian/control: - Added a Homepage field. - Bumped Standards-Version to 4.5.1. - Migrated DH level to 13. - Re-enabled Vcs fields and pointing to Salsa. * debian/copyright: - Migrated to 1.0 format. - Updated all data. * debian/patches/: - Added a numeric prefix to all patches. - Added the suffix '.patch' to all patches. - Added a header to each patch. - header-changes: dropped because this patch injects Debian maintainers names in upstream source code and modifies upstream licensing from GPL-2 to GPL-2+ without a previous contact with the upstream. Also, this patch had no practical effect on the final binary. - 050_fix-manpage.patch: created to fix a typo in manpage. * debian/README.source: removed because this file was providing a deprecated information. * debian/salsa-ci.yml: added to provide CI tests for Salsa. * debian/sysnews.lintian-overrides: renamed to lintian-overrides. * debian/tests/control: created to provide trivial CI tests. * debian/upstream/metadata: created. * debian/watch: - Bumped version to 4. - Improved the search rule. -- Joao Eriberto Mota Filho Sat, 10 Jul 2021 12:21:34 -0300 sysnews (0.9-18) unstable; urgency=medium * QA upload. * Reset maintainer field to the Debian QA Group. * Declare that sysnews requires (fake)root for building (due to static non-root:root ownership). * Comment out old Vcs fields pointing to Alioth now that Alioth has been decommissioned. * Rewrite d/rules to use override targets instead of deprecated manual sequence control commands. * Bump debhelper compat to 11. * Use https:// url in d/watch. -- Niels Thykier Sun, 25 Nov 2018 14:11:21 +0000 sysnews (0.9-17) unstable; urgency=low * Update my email address * Move to a new git repository at collab-maint * Add README to package, thanks to Willi Mannfor the bug report (Closes: #631104) * Use debian source format 3.0 quilt - Remove quilt dependency as it is handled by dpkg * Add new build-{arch,indep} targets to debian/rules * Use dpkg-buildflags for hardening * Update Standards-Version to 3.9.3 -- Ryan Niebur Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:38:30 -0700 sysnews (0.9-16) unstable; urgency=low * New maintainer (Closes: #483250) - Change Vcs-* headers * use quilt * switch to dh7 * split up patches - upstream's Makefile already regenerates the man page with the NEWSDIR set correctly, so just use the regenerated version rather than patching - stop patching the Makefile when the changes can happen in debian/rules - organize the remaining changes * fix permissions on executable * stop supporting upgrades from potato :p * upgrade to latest policy (3.8.0) - add README.source * leave the debian/dirs, as it is actually needed * redo copyright file to be more clear * remove unneeded build dependency on dpkg-dev * add lintian override for non-standard-dir-perm * remove the default WELCOME. There was no easy way to make it comply with Debian Policy, and imho it's kinda useless, since most people probably remove/change it anyway. -- Ryan Niebur Tue, 24 Feb 2009 17:08:35 -0800 sysnews (0.9-15) unstable; urgency=low * Orphaned the package. -- Joey Hess Tue, 27 May 2008 18:49:13 -0400 sysnews (0.9-14) unstable; urgency=low * Support nostrip builds.

Updated everything to reference the new location, and any directory contents are transferred automatically on upgrade, and the old directory removed. * Remove any news items on purge. I hope this is not going too far. * Make /var/lib/news owned by root.staff, and group writable, this is intended to let other non-root staff to post news, and closely parallels the permissions used in /usr/local/. * Changed references to "Debian Linux" to just "Debian" in WELCOME, so I don't have to add the "GNU", and because of the Hurd, of course. Also changed the quotes, and shortened the section about info. It's still longer than 25 lines; I still need to cut it down somehow. -- Joey Hess Fri, 7 Dec 2001 01:04:10 -0500 sysnews (0.9-7) unstable; urgency=low * Whoops; the cron job was accidentally renamed from cron.daily/news to cron.daily/sysnews, leaving the old file around. I'm not going to move it back, but the preinst now renames the old file to sysnews.dpkg-old if it exists, so normal dpkg conffile handling takes over. Closes: #83389 * Made the cron job notice if he package is not installed and terminate sanely. -- Joey Hess Wed, 24 Jan 2001 13:51:04 -0800 sysnews (0.9-6) unstable; urgency=low * Yes, optional is the right priority. -- Joey Hess Fri, 19 Jan 2001 15:57:32 -0800 sysnews (0.9-5) unstable; urgency=low * New maintainer, Closes: #82450 * Added build depends. * Use debhelper. * A few other minor changes. * Retry with non-broken dpkg-dev. -- Joey Hess Wed, 17 Jan 2001 12:05:00 -0800 sysnews (0.9-4) unstable; urgency=low * news.c: ignore files with names ending ~ (#35244) -- Mark Baker Wed, 7 Jul 1999 01:20:29 +0100 sysnews (0.9-3) unstable; urgency=low * debian/rules: clean rule deletes debian/files (#25206) and *~ -- Mark Baker Mon, 5 Jul 1999 22:58:13 +0100 sysnews (0.9-2) unstable; urgency=low * Updated standards-version to 2.4.0.0 (no changes) -- Mark Baker Wed, 11 Feb 1997 21:27:12 +0000 sysnews (0.9-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version * Significantly tidied up rules file -- Mark Baker Mon, 27 Oct 1997 22:59:55 +0000 sysnews (0.8-9) unstable; urgency=low * Do a dpkg-shlibdeps, instead of having hard coded values (#12494) -- Mark Baker Sat, 06 Sep 1997 22:59:59 +0100 sysnews (0.8-8) unstable; urgency=low * Really a new maintainer (I didn't change the control file before) -- Mark Baker Sun, 13 Jul 1997 21:53:37 +0100 sysnews (0.8-7) unstable; urgency=low * New maintainer * Compiled with libc6 -- Mark Baker Fri, 11 Jul 1997 20:47:01 +0100 sysnews (0.8-6) unstable; urgency=low * Changed maintainer address to . * Recompiled against latest libraries in preparation for Debian 1.3 -- Dominik Kubla Sat, 1 Mar 1997 20:55:05 +0100 sysnews (0.8-5) unstable; urgency=low * Re-upload because one file was corrupted in the previous version.
