tfortune, branch master

Add NEWS file.

It's generally a good idea to summarize the changes of each version.

Remove debian/.

2024-05-06T00:31:44Z

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

Fix logo.

2024-05-06T00:31:44Z

The value of xmlns is not a URI which specifies the address of a document on the Web but merely a string which identifies an XML namespace name. As such the "protocol" part needs to remain http. Fixes: de6a4b90f785b2557bcff38151c1e3225155dbf3

configure.ac: Fix a typo in the lopsub error message.

debian: Update debhelper version.

This is the version shipped currently with Debian 12 (Bookworm), which is the oldest version we care about since the support for Debian Bullseye (11) runs out soon. Remove the redundant debian/compat file while at it. Suggested-by: lintian(1) Reviewed-by: Andreas Metzler

debian: Declare that the build does not require root.

2024-04-28T14:08:24Z

Building tfortune does not require elevated privileges, neither root nor fakeroot. Setting this tells builders to run any target as an unprivileged user. Suggested-by: lintian(1) Reviewed-by: Andreas Metzler

debian: Use machine-readable debian/copyright file.

2024-04-28T14:08:24Z

Machine-readable copyright files are generally recommended to deal with the diversity of free software licenses. See https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ for details. Since the package contains epigrams in the public domain as well as source code which is licensed under the GPL-3, we need two Files stanzas and two stand-alone License stanzas, plus the required header stanza. By convention, the last matching Files: pattern applies, so the pattern for the epigrams needs to listed *after* the asterisk pattern that matches everything.
