tfortune/debian, branch debian

Merge branch 'master' into debian

2024-05-06T00:45:08Z

This brings in one single commit and updates debian/changelog. * master: Add NEWS file.

Revert "Remove debian/."

2024-05-06T00:41:38Z

This reverts commit 1c92dba620eb to bring back the contents of the debian directory. From now on changes in debian/ will only take place in this branch.

Remove debian/.

2024-05-06T00:31:44Z

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

debian: Update debhelper version.

2024-04-28T14:08:24Z

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.

debian: Update Standards-Version.

2024-04-28T14:08:24Z

Scanning through the changes listed in /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz (after installing the debian-policy package) indicated that tfortune is compliant with the current standard. Suggested-by: lintian(1) Reviewed-by: Andreas Metzler

debian: Add watch file and public signing key.

2024-04-28T14:08:24Z

The watch file is an adjusted version of the "direct access to the git repository (tags)" example of uscan(1) (part of the devscripts package), which is appropriate for tfortune since the project does not publish release tarballs. The key file was created with gpg --export --export-options export-minimal --armor \ 87B45FDC6D91B2CA5BEAAB545ADA35403100930F > signing-key.asc Suggested-by: lintian(1) Reviewed-by: Andreas Metzler
