equivs (2.0.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use dpkg-buildpackage instead of debuild; drop devscripts dependency.

    Thanks to Guillem Jover. (Closes: #415797)
  * equivs-build.pod: document the new "Files:" and "File:" fields
  * debian/control: bump Standards-Version to 3.7.3, no changes needed
  * debian/control: move debhelper dependency to Build-Depends, so that it is
    available upon clean

equivs (2.0.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * New maintainer.  (Closes: #350835)
  * Acknowledge NMU.  (Closes: #201852, #218443, #237963, #251547)
  * Add file COPYING, the GNU GPL v2, to top level of source tree.
  * Update both build-time and runtime use of debhelper to v4.
    (Closes: #320619)
  * debian/copyright, debian/rules: cleanups
  * debian/control:
    - standards version 3.6.2 (no changes needed)
    - rewrite description
    - drop 'perl5' alternative dependency; the perl5 package disappeared
      about 3 release cycles ago
  * template/debian/copyright: update FSF address.
  * template/debian/control.in: edit description, set maintainer to
    root@localhost, update standards version, add correct debhelper
    Build-Depends
  * template/debian/rules: streamline somewhat.
  * equivs-build: support Replaces: field.  (Closes: #118526)
  * equivs-build, template/debian/README.Debian.in:
    use "@" instead of the ISO-8859-1 section symbol for the variable
    escapes, to make life slightly easier for users of other charsets.
    - equivs-build.pod: update (and fix) the documentation for this
  * equivs-build: allow comments in control file.
    - template.ctl: comment out most of the entries, to save the user some
      time in common cases.  Also mention that packages lists are all
      comma-separated.
  * equivs-build: Lots of code cleanups.  Highlights:
    - Use File::Temp::tempdir.  This removes the dir upon normal exit.  On
      abend, tell the user where it is so she can examine and remove it.
    - Print usage message to STDERR, not STDOUT
    - Actually bother to close all the files we open
    - die with "\n".  I doubt users care about source code line numbers.
    - 3-arg open(), multi-arg system(), and in general try to look less
      like Perl 4
    - Delete outdated or useless comments, commented-out code, unneeded
      variables, and redundant integrity checks
    - Eliminate most use of global variables
    The net effect is to shrink the file by about 20%.

  Mattia Dongili.  Closes: #237963, 218443.

    use own files
  * Renamed make-control to equivs-control and
            make-equivs to equivs-build
    Makes it easier for tab completition. I had to look up the
    names after some time not working on equivs, so the scripts were
    obviously named wrong.

  * Added manpages (Closes #38148)

equivs (1.999.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed Depends: fakeroot to Depends: libtricks | fakeroot, until a new
    version of libtricks is released, which provides fakeroot (#31682)
  * Added an example config for a locally installed MTA

equivs (1.999.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Forgot about the "Provides:" dependency
  * Added a umask call, as somehow the README.Debian file was not copied
    correctly
  * Fixes wishlist bug #27215

equivs (1.999.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New Maintainer
  * Complete rewrite. Instead recreating the equivs package, one now
    creates new fake packages
  * No problem with apt anymore. To apt, the information fetched from
    it's sources has precedence over information hold localy by dpkg.
    So a recompiled equivs packages was not recognised correctly.

equivs (1.0.5-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upgraded to standards version 2.4.0.0 (no changes).

  * Complete overhaul (and hopefully simplification) of "equivs".

    usage and instructions on how to remove it again. I hope "equivs"
    is pretty foolproof by now.

    configuration file "/etc/equivs.conf".
  * Added debian/purge file.

equivs (1.0.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed "Architecture: any" to "Architecture: all" in control file since
    there is no compiled binary included. This closes bug #16878.
  * Minor changes to debian/rules.

equivs (1.0.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Made equivs install it's own source into /usr/src/
  * Put equivs into section admin with priority optional

    mindlessly used.

equivs (1.0.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added a small description of the build procedure to the README.debian
    file upon proposal of <Martin.Bialasinski@uni-koeln.de>.

  * Added credit to Markus Dickebohm <m.dickebohm@uni-koeln.de> for the
    information which enabled me to make up this package. ;-)

  * Various changes to debian/rules so that the current configuration is
    added to the documentation as "/usr/doc/equivs/current.conf".

equivs (1.0.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed freeware license to GPL.

equivs (1.0.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Removed silly copy actions from 'debian/rules'.

equivs (1.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Included a sed command for automatically configuring the control file. The
    user now simply has to edit debian/equivs.conf for changing the package.

equivs (1.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Initial Release.
