debram (0.6.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Prepared this upload pursuant to
    - http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/04/msg00003.html
    - http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/04/msg00029.html
    - http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/04/msg00161.html
    and the discussion threads descending therefrom.  Expected this
    issue to be the final issue before sarge's release.
  * Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date.
  * Excepting a handful of packages at their maintainers' request,
    purged data for packages not in sarge.
  * Updated maint.txt.

debram (0.6.2a) experimental; urgency=low

  * Added automatic locale support (with Maciej Dems).

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Thu,  3 Feb 2005 00:00:00 +0000

debram (0.6.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date.
  * Updated maint.txt.
  * Implemented debram(1)'s -u option to support utf-8 I/O.
    (Maciej Dems' good advice is acknowledged in this.)
  * Implemented debram(1)'s -. option.
  * Extended the manpage's list of library-data download sites.
  * Uncluttered debram(1)'s --help list somewhat by hiding a few
    rarely-used options (the manpage still documents them).

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Mon, 24 Jan 2005 21:00:00 +0000

debram (0.6.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Updated the ramification data to reflect sarge as of this date.
  * Updated maint.txt.

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Fri,  3 Dec 2004 21:00:00 +0000

debram (0.6.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Included the new sarge debram.txt, with sarge packages ramified per
    the new sarge ramification plan.
  * Because debram.txt now presents current data, removed
    the "Priority: extra" from debian/control, reverting
    to "Priority: optional".
  * Reformed the binary packages' Descriptions.  In particular, gave
    debram-data its own distinct Description and removed the
    now-obsolete woody disclaimer.
  * Updated the manpage to cover the new sarge data issue.
  * Sorted team-maintained packages to the head of each ram,
    except "Tm QA" packages, which are sorted to the foot.
  * Updated debian/README.
  * Updated and extended the development helper scripts.
  * At last understanding Colin Watson's suggestion of three months ago,
    fixed the various development helper scripts to use FindBin to
    locate Perl modules and other files relative to the helper/
    directory.
  * Updated maint.txt.

debram (0.5.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Reprioritized the list of sites from which users can download future
    debram data.
  * Applied Gustavo Franco's manpage patch, correcting the reference in
    the Files section from /usr/lib/debram/ to /usr/share/debram/
    (closes: #276577).
  * Updated and shortened the manpage's Bugs section.
  * Added appropriate acknowledgements to the manpage's Author section.
  * Revised the manpage in several other minor respects.
  * Relaxed the source's Build-Dependency on debhelper, making the same
    debram source equally buildable on woody, sarge and sid platforms.
  * Added the new helper scripts check-maint-addr and check-ram-titles;
    added the new -tmT options to the helper script new-debram-body;
    fixed the helper script buff-expand, stopping it from touching the
    revision timestamps of files it does not alter; edited other
    helpers in minor ways.
  * Updated maint.txt.

debram (0.5.1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Credited Martin Pitt here for discovering the need for the
    following five changes.
  * In the debram-data binary, moved debram.txt from
    /usr/share/doc/debram-data/ to /usr/share/debram-data/,
    to comply with Policy sect 12.3 (closes: #272422).
  * In the debram binary, symlinked the platform-
    independent `debram.txt.gz' from /usr/share/debram/ rather
    than /usr/lib/debram/, to comply with FHS sect 4.7.
  * Removed unneeded empty maintainer scripts (debhelper creates
    suitable default maintainer scripts automatically).
  * To comply with Policy sect 10.1, altered `Makefile' and debian/rules
    - always to compile with debugging symbols (except during a
      local, non-packaging build), stripping unwanted symbols after
      compilation; and
    - to respect "noopt" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
  * Removed superfluous "configure" target from debian/rules.
  * Because data files have moved (see above), controlled debram-data
    to Conflict against old debram (<< 0.5.1).  (Future debram-data are
    to be compatible with any debram (>= 0.5.1).  If an incomptatible
    debram-data emerged, it would be versioned at least 0.7.)
  * Slightly simplified the binary package interdependencies per
    Giacomo Catenazzi's advice.
  * To avoid abusing the present "urgency=high" upload, deferred
    further, non-urgent changes.

debram (0.5.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Undertook not to change the format of `debram.txt' in 0.5.x or
    0.6.x, thus enabling users (per Giacomo Catenazzi's suggestion)
    later to install new `debram-data' packages or even just to load new
    `debram.txt' files without upgrading the `debram' package.  For this
    reason, incremented the minor version number to 0.5.
  * Planned to number the upcoming complete sarge ramification 0.6, to
    distinguish it from the present 0.5 which lacks complete sarge
    coverage.
  * Because the debram binary package no longer depends on a specific
    version of debram-data, gave debram its own copies of the copyright
    and changelog.gz files.  (Refer to Policy sects 12.5 and 12.7.)
  * Restricted the package license to GPL version 2, rather than GPL
    version 2 or later, thus withdrawing from the FSF its unique
    privilege to extend the license.
  * Implemented debram(1)'s -t option.
  * Added to the man page instructions on finding and installing the
    complete sarge ramification data, when they become available.
  * Extended the man page's Quick Start section.  Also, had the man page
    refer contributors to debtags-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org rather
    than to Thaddeus.  Edited and updated the page in a few other minor
    ways.
  * Merged into debian/rules Giacomo Catenazzi's patch to clean stray
    build stamps.
  * Added a HISTORY file per Enrico Zini's suggestion.
  * With Nick Lewycky's help, made the scripts `helper/new-debram-body'
    and `helper/sort-maint' fully relocatable.
  * Updated `maint.txt'.

debram (0.4.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Observed here that this issue is principally a minor bugfix issue,
    and that more substantive modifications are deliberately held back
    against the apparent imminence of Debian sarge's release.  (Felt
    that a risk of introducing new bugs along with new features seemed a
    poor gamble at the moment.)
  * Disambiguated ram 8657's title from "Other Mail" (which was also
    ram 1657's title) to "Other Mail Transport".
  * Unswapped debram(1)'s seldom-used --data-file and --data-file-gz
    command-line options.
  * Corrected `prdeb.c' print_deb()'s inadvertent wasting of one
    available output column under the `-w' command-line option.
  * Fixed `conv.c' undot()'s edge-case handling.
  * Improved the source code's style slightly in a handful of spots.
  * Updated `maint.txt'; corrected one maintainer's name
    in `debram.txt'.
  * Corrected and extended the helper script `helper/new-debram-body''s
    documentation.
  * Added to the manpage's Bugs section additional remarks about the
    debram's future plans.
  * Conformed to Standards Version 3.6.1.

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Sat, 26 Jun 2004 00:00:00 +0000

debram (0.4.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Corrected `debian/control' to include a build-dependency
    on `zlib1g-dev'.  Closes #231100.

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Fri,  6 Feb 2004 00:00:00 +0000

debram (0.4.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Incremented the version number to 0.4.0 for sponsor Giacomo
    Catenazzi's upload to Debian's unstable archive.  Updated the
    various package dates, histories and version notations accordingly
    but made no other changes to the package.

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Fri, 23 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000

debram (0.3.1e) experimental; urgency=low

  * Corrected and neatened `helper/new-debram-body' in several small
    ways.  Improved its error messages generally.  Added and documented
    the useful new "unknown maintainer" error message.  Added the -w
    option.
  * Updated `maint.txt'.
  * Updated the manpage's Bugs section.
  * Added some nomenclature to the manpage's Ramification section.

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Tue, 20 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000

debram (0.3.1d) experimental; urgency=low

  * Removed the `author/' directory and added the new `helper/'
    directory.  The old directory had contained undocumented scripts and
    other files which probably were useless to anyone but the author.
    The new directory contains documented scripts and files potentially
    useful to any debram developer.
  * In `debian/control', added explicit Section and Priority data to
    each binary paragraph; removed the Enhances datum.
  * Updated `maint.txt' to include all the names of sarge's current
    maintainers.  (Debian sarge is in testing at the time of this
    writing.)

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Fri, 16 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000

debram (0.3.1c) experimental; urgency=low

  * Removed `author/author.tar'.
  * Corrected FTP link in `debian/copyright'.
  * Per Giacomo Catenazzi's suggestion, added error checking to all the
    program's calls to malloc(3) and calloc(3).  (See `alloc.h'.)
  * Conformed to Standards Version 3.5.10.
  * Configured the source to build with debhelper 4.1.  (This means that
    the source now builds for sarge only, not woody.  Debian 3.0 woody
    users should install the old debram 0.3.1.)
  * Retagged `cmdsel.txt' for doc-base.

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Mon,  5 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000

debram (0.3.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Tracked Debian's 3.0r2 issue.
  * Slightly altered the sorting of package names within a ram, letting
    packages from the same source appear sequentially.
  * Corrected five or six misramifications.
  * Because the debram's own control file refers to them, added
    packages `debram-data' and `debtags' (`debram' had already been
    added in 0.2.0).
  * Corrected color output to xterm(1).
  * Noted here for historical interest that a debram 0.1.0 did exist,
    but that it consisted solely of the unpackaged file `cmdsel.txt'.
    Its issue date was 29 May 2002.  While it was not then a Debian
    package and was not called `debram', it is the direct antecedent of
    today's debram package.

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Fri, 26 Dec 2003 00:00:00 +0000

debram (0.3.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Recast the source as a native Debian package.
  * Split the data files away into a separate, architecture-independent
    binary package `debram-data'.
  * Added new -1 and -s options to debram(1).
  * Extended debram(1)'s -T option to enhance -d and -m.
  * Extended debram(1)'s -d and -m options to accept ram specification.
  * Trimmed and updated debram(1)'s manpage.

 -- Thaddeus H. Black <t@b-tk.org>  Mon, 15 Dec 2003 13:14:07 +0000

debram (0.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Initial Release.
