debian: Compress changelogs.

2026-04-29T16:04:58Z

Run dh_compress to do that. Fixes the following lintian errors: E: liblopsub-dev: changelog-file-not-compressed [usr/share/doc/liblopsub-dev/changelog.Debian] E: liblopsub1t64: changelog-file-not-compressed [usr/share/doc/liblopsub1t64/changelog.Debian] Suggested-by: Helmut Grohne

debian: Use dh_installchangelogs

2026-01-31T16:10:31Z

liblopsub1t64 is not binNMU-safe. It installs debian/changelog directly using install. The file is architecture-specific and installed into a shared location. The package is Multi-Arch: same. Upon coinstallation, dpkg fails to unpack. Use dh_installchangelog as it separates the architecture-dependent part. Suggested-by: Helmut Grohne

debian: Enable `Rules-Requires-Root: no`.

2024-12-12T20:03:23Z

During a test rebuild for building packages with `Rules-Requires-Root: no` as the default in `dpkg`, liblopsub failed to rebuild. The problem is the rule of the `binary` target in `debian/rules` which runs `install(1)` with -o root -g root to set the owner and group ID of the files and directories being installed. With `Rules-Requires-Root: no`, this fails due to insufficient permissions. This commit removes the problematic options in favor of running `dh_fixperms(1)` just before `dh_makeshlibs(1)`. With these changes in place, the build no longer requires any form of root during the `binary` target. Consequently, we may enable rootless builds in `debian/control`.

debian: Make liblopsub-dev usable for cross compilation.

2024-08-28T14:08:49Z

In order to build a package such as tfortune which depends on the lopsub library, we need the liblopsub shared library for the host architecture, and we also need to run lopsubgen as a build architecture executable. These things currently reside in the same binary package, but for a cross build we need them to be installed for different architectures. This patch splits liblopsub-dev. The new liblopsub-bin package only contains lopsubgen and its man page. Since the -dev package depends on the -bin package, all existing uses will continue to work as is. For a cross build, liblopsub-dev will continue to be installed for the host architecture. liblopsub-bin will be installed for the build architecture though as it will be marked Multi-Arch: foreign, indicating that the architecture of the package does not matter for interactions with it. V3: Edit debian/changelog since this is no longer an NMU, add signed-off-by V2: Add missing "Multi-Arch: same" for liblopsub1t64, fix typo Signed-off-by: Andre Noll

Revert "Remove debian/."

2024-05-11T19:09:44Z

This reverts commit e6968b67d06f to bring back the contents of the debian directory. From now on changes in debian/ will only take place in this branch.

Remove debian/.

2024-05-11T19:08:29Z

Debian-related changes no longer happen in master. Instead, a dedicated branch will be created whose commits may only modify files below debian/. Whenever a new release is cut from the master branch, the master branch will be merged into the debian branch and debian/changelog will be updated accordingly. Suggested-by: Andreas Metzler

debian: use fortified libc.

2024-05-10T01:20:49Z

dpkg-buildflags() emits a number of var=val pairs, which specifically set LDFLAGS. By turning on hardening, the value includes -z,now to tell the linker to resolve all symbols at startup time, which is a prerequisite for a read-only global offset table. Suggested-by: lintian(1)

debian: Create an md5sums control file.

2024-05-10T01:20:49Z

This file contains MD5 checksums of the package contents, and providing it is recommended. Suggested-by: lintian(1)

debian: Remove an unused variable from rules file.

2024-05-10T01:20:49Z

debian: Activate the dh sequencer.

2024-05-10T01:20:49Z

Maintainers are strongly encouraged to use it. Suggested-by: lintian(1)
