Subject: 3 diff's to compile dpkg-1.4.0.24 on HP-UX

Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 15:59:34 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: dpkg

Following patches are included below:
1) dpkg1.diff
This patch suppesses error output from configure if dpkg is not present in
$PATH
2) dpkg2.diff
This is a workaround for old shells, such as /bin/sh from HP-UX 10.20 and
ksh from the same system. Double quotes are not needed around reversed
single quotes, but they can prevent $target_cpu from expansion on some old
shells.
3) dpkg3.diff
#include <stddef.h> is necessary, because dpkg/enquiry.c uses ptrdiff_t
which is defined there. It may be included from other files on other OS'es
but not on HP-UX. Anyway, either stddef.h is included, directly or
indirectly, or gcc reports an error.

Unfortunately, above patches are not sufficient to compile dpkg on HP-UX. I
 simply don't have enough time to fix everything.
By the way, it would be a good idea to provide a script which generates all
 necessary scripts. I mean something like following:
============================
#!/bin/sh
aclocal -I automake
libtoolize --automake --copy --force
gettextize --copy --force
autoheader
automake --add-missing
autoconf
============================
You could also add some checks whether required tools are present and are
not too old.
I don't think that dpkg is very useful on an HP-UX machine, but I need some
experience with it before I install Debian Linux on my PC.

Subject: three diffs as plain text

Hi,

I'm attaching the diff files as plain text so one doesn't have to do weird
mojo with the bug to extract them out.

Note: the first diff is needless, the other two are still vaguely applicable.

This should not be suppressed, I've on my TODO supporting
bootstrapping dpkg on new architectures, though.

This didn't apply anymore, but I've fixed some instances of this
problem in the code. Fixed in git and will be included in next
release.

And this is not needed anymore, stddef.h is now included from dpkg.h.

If you or anyone else happen to port it to other Unix system, feel
free to provide patches.

This can be replaced now by «autoreconf -f -i».

Changes: 
 dpkg (1.14.16) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Add build-essential as an implicit Build-Depends in dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
     Closes: #402901
   * Add build-essential to dpkg-dev Recommends.
   * Do not warn about unrecognized Homepage field in binary package stanzas
     in dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-source. Closes: #460309
   * Do not use the enoent helper binary, and use perl POSIX module instead.
   * Keep checking for the process when start-stop-daemon is called with
     --retry even if the daemon removed the pidfile. Closes: #460903
     Thanks to Justin Pryzby for the analysis.
   * Make --quiet silence --test in start-stop-daemon. Closes: #367998
   * Check current uid and gid in start-stop-daemon before calling setuid,
     setgid and initgroups. Closes: #222524
     Based on a patch by Samuel Thibault.
   * Remove unimplemented --test option from update-alternatives.
     Closes: #392432, #461247
   * Additionally check if errno is EEXIST after rmdir(2), as SUSv3 specifies
     that on non-empty directories it can either return that or ENOTEMPTY.
     This fixes run time problems on Solaris.
   * Fix start-stop-daemon --help output to state that --name is one of the
     possible required options to use. Closes: #354999
   * Demote dselect from priority important to optional. Closes: #461327
   * Fix portability issues on HP-UX, by not using backticks inside double
     quotes in m4 files. Closes: #24514
   * Switch Maintainer address to <debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org> from
     <team@dpkg.org>.
   * Add README.feature-removal-schedule describing the features to be removed
     and README.api describing the provided APIs.
 .
   [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
   * Make the -L option of dpkg-parsechangelog actually work (it's
     only been eleven years...)
   * Import the code from my external Parse::DebianChangelog as
     Dpkg::Changelog and Dpkg::Changelog::Debian. Using this
     from parsechangelog/debian adds the following requested
     features:
      - Option to use a non-lossy format. Closes: #95579
      - Various options to better control how many entries
        should be displayed. Closes: #226932
 .
   [ Raphael Hertzog ]
   * Replaced all the remaining code in controllib.pl by new modules. All
     scripts have been adjusted to use the new modules and controllib.pl has
     been removed.
   * The code to parse debian/control is available in a perl module
     Dpkg::Control. Closes: #26554
   * Temporarily add a Breaks: dpkg-dev (= 1.14.13), dpkg-dev (= 1.14.14) on
     dpkg for the convenience of sid users. Closes: #459815
   * Update dpkg-source(1) to explain better what the directory after -b is.
     Closes: #323606
   * Also force version in 1.14.16 if dpkg-gencontrol -v<version>
     is used. That way we're consistent with the definition of that variable
     in deb-substvars(5). Closes: #433477
   * Add support of Dm-Upload-Allowed field. Closes: #453400
   * Fix dpkg-shlibdeps's filtering of duplicated dependencies in fields of
     lesser priority (when -d is used).
   * Fix behaviour of dpkg-shlibdeps when the same binary was passed multiple
     times for use in different dependency fields (-d option).
   * Change logic of -si option of dpkg-genchanges to include the original
     tarball only if the current upstream version differs from the upstream
     version of the previous changelog entry. Replaces the heuristic based
     on revision number (-0, -0.1 or -1). Closes: #28701
   * Some code refactoring on dpkg-genchanges and bug fixes in the generation
     of the Description: field. As a result, source only uploads will no more
     have Description fields.
   * Add support of wildcard entries in symbols files. This makes it much
     simpler to write symbols files for well managed libraries but in that case
     dpkg-gensymbols can't check any more if symbols have disappeared.
     Closes: #459359
 .
   [ Updated manpages translations ]
   * Fix typo in French. Closes: #460021
   * German (Helge Kreutzmann).
 .
   [ Updated dpkg translations ]
   * Basque (Piarres Beobide). Closes: #459565
   * French (Christian Perrier).
   * German, Basque, Norwegian Bokmål, Swedish, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese,
     Galician unfuzzied.
   * Russian (Yuri Kozlov). Closes: #460708
