germinate (2.30) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Build with LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 so that setup.py handles non-ASCII characters
    in debian/changelog correctly (closes: #913262).

germinate (2.29) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Jelmer Vernooij ]
  * Use secure URI in Vcs control header.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Set Rules-Requires-Root: no.

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Skip use of deprecated 'imp' module, and just try/except the import
    we actually want.

germinate (2.28) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Support versioned Provides (LP: #1758004).
  * Build-depend on dh-python.

germinate (2.27) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * Initial support for specifying snaps in seeds.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Drop support for Python 3.0 and 3.1.
  * Change default distribution to bionic.

germinate (2.26) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add an --always-follow-build-depends option to force germinate to follow
    Build-Depends regardless of seed feature flags.
  * Change default distribution to zesty.

germinate (2.25) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Cope with malformed Built-Using fields, since we only started checking
    these recently and so older series have some errors.

germinate (2.24) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Dimitri John Ledkov ]
  * Create a [no-]follow-build-depends feature; follow by default.
  * Expand source package by adding the Built-Using set.  Treat all
    Built-Using as if part of the build-dependency tree.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Change default distribution to xenial.

germinate (2.23) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Handle Build-Depends-Arch, introduced in dpkg 1.16.4.
  * Require at least Python 2.7 and simplify some code accordingly.
  * Prefer Packages.xz and Sources.xz to other compression formats if
    possible.

germinate (2.22) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Raise a slightly more useful exception if python-apt fails to parse a
    dependency.
  * Work around lack of build profile support in older versions of
    apt/python-apt.

germinate (2.21) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix broken germinate-update-metapackage caused by overenthusiastic
    sorting of imports.

germinate (2.20) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Switch to git; adjust Vcs-* fields.
  * Add support for fetching seeds from git (LP: #1455689).
  * Change default distribution to wily.
  * Policy version 3.9.6: no changes required.

germinate (2.19) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Make it possible to add a custom seed with no parents.
  * Fix TagFile.sections to use try/finally so that the temporary directory
    reliably gets cleaned up.

germinate (2.18) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix Vcs-Bzr field so that it actually works with bzr.  Adjust
    Vcs-Browser field to match.
  * Allow subclasses of SeedStructure to override a new make_seed method in
    order to slot in a different Seed implementation.

germinate (2.17) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Bump recursion limit to 3000; apparently utopic trips over the existing
    limit (LP: #1312478).

germinate (2.16) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Quote slashes in suite names when constructing local tag file names
    (thanks, Eugene Paskevich).
  * Change default distribution to trusty.
  * Update kubuntu-meta example in germinate-update-metapackage(1).
  * Policy version 3.9.5: no changes required.

germinate (2.15) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Use type and selector attributes of urllib.request.Request in Python >=
    3.1 rather than the deprecated get_type and get_selector accessor
    methods, fixing a build failure with Python 3.4 which removed these
    methods entirely.

germinate (2.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Micro-optimise lesser seeds calculation in
    Germinator._promote_dependency.
  * Amend dh_germinate_metapackage(1) to note that this program must be run
    after dh_prep.
  * Tolerate missing reasons when writing output.  This is possible when
    germinate is being run over multiple flavours for the same architecture,
    and packages are promoted differently between seeds depending on the
    flavour.  We can't generate a correct reason without a heavy performance
    cost in this case, but we can at least not crash.
  * Remove a few unnecessary "if condition: return True; else: return False"
    patterns.
  * Support multiarch (build-)dependency qualifiers (:any, :native).

germinate (2.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix dh_germinate_clean(1) and dh_germinate_metapackage(1) to recommend
    syntax compatible with debhelper 8.
  * Policy version 3.9.4:
    - Add a Vcs-Browser field.
  * Change default distribution to saucy.

germinate (2.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add dists option to distribution sections in
    germinate-update-metapackage configuration, making it more useful for
    released distributions.

germinate (2.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use collections.defaultdict instead of manually initialising elements.
  * Simplify some sorted() calls, relying on the default iterator for
    mappings being .keys().
  * Simplify code to clean up bzr cache, removing an unnecessary helper
    function.
  * Add support for reading seeds from relative filesystem paths (thanks,
    Sjoerd Simons; LP: #1010186).
  * Only allow dh_python2 to operate on python-germinate, to avoid chaos
    caused by shebang rewriting.

germinate (2.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Always open Packages files as UTF-8, regardless of the current locale.
    LP: #1025818.

germinate (2.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Support both Python 2 and 3 directly rather than using 2to3.
  * Make various cosmetic changes to conform to PEP-8.
  * Switch the top-level scripts to Python 3 by default.  (They can still be
    run manually with /usr/bin/python if need be.)
  * Update copyright dates.
  * Policy version 3.9.3:
    - Convert debian/copyright to copyright-format 1.0.

germinate (2.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Build-depend on python-unittest2 so that the test suite works with
    Python 2.6 (closes: #661608).

germinate (2.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Explicitly specify the encoding to io.open so that tests pass even in
    the C locale.

germinate (2.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix processing of multiple suites where there are different versions of
    a package with different Provides fields.
  * Fix SeedStructure.write_seed_text to handle UTF-8 text in seeds
    correctly.

germinate (2.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Stop fetching Suggests from Packages; we don't use it.
  * Build a cache of seed entries when analysing reverse-dependencies, so
    that we don't have to expensively call get_seed_entries once per package
    per seed (LP: #915569).
  * Convert to setuptools.
  * Add the beginnings of a test suite.
  * Make the main bodies of scripts into modules so that they can be tested
    more easily.
  * Remove private AtomicUTF8File class; just write all files as UTF-8.

  * Port to Python 3:
    - Use "raise Exception(value)" syntax rather than the old-style "raise
      Exception, value".
    - Use Python 3-style print functions.
    - Use a list comprehension rather than filter (which behaves differently
      in Python 3).
    - Make GraphCycleError a subclass of Exception rather than of
      StandardError.
    - Simplify stringiness tests in TagFile.__init__ and Seed.__init__ using
      basestring.
    - Implement rich comparison methods instead of __cmp__ for Seed and
      GerminatedSeed.  (Seed needs all of them for interface-compatibility;
      GerminatedSeed only needs __eq__ and __ne__.)
    - Use Python 3 replacements for urllib, urllib2, and ConfigParser if
      available.
    - When decompressing tag files from the archive, explicitly treat
      everything as binary data.
    - In Python 3, decode seed data read from URLs as UTF-8.
    - Pass universal_newlines=True to subprocess.Popen to get Unicode
      output.
    - Make sure to close stdout of subprocess.Popen objects.
    - Use 2to3 to handle the few remaining 2/3 differences at build time.
    - Add a python3-germinate package.

germinate (2.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make Kernel-Version lexically scoped from the point in the seed where
    it's encountered to either the end of the seed or the next
    Kernel-Version entry, whichever comes first.  Previously, the set of
    Kernel-Version values allowed for a seed was the union of all
    Kernel-Version entries in the seed, which is not what we want in
    practice.

germinate (2.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Adjust AtomicFile to not rename the .new file into place if the context
    exited with an exception (thanks, Jeroen T. Vermeulen).
  * Cope with an Archive implementation returning Maintainer values that are
    already unicode.

germinate (2.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix Germinator._follow_recommends to prevent a crash while calculating
    reverse-dependencies (LP: #900404).

germinate (2.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Call superclass constructor in GerminateFormatter's constructor.
  * Build-depend on python-all.
  * Store instances of Seed as GerminatedSeed._raw_seed, rather than
    instances of BytesIO which are transient and won't compare the way we
    need them to.
  * Remove build-sources entries that also appear in sources outputs at
    output time rather than immediately, which has the effect of removing
    sources that appear in any seed in the structure rather than just those
    processed earlier.  This fixes behaviour when processing multiple seed
    structures, but also seems to fit more closely with the original intent
    of build-sources as documented in README, which I think was broken all
    the way back in r70 when seed hierarchies were first allowed to fork.
  * Fix inclusion/exclusion of packages from seeds other than "extra".

germinate (2.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make sure to always close files after finishing with them.  Mostly this
    is done using the 'with' statement in Python 2.6, but pychecker gets
    unhappy with contextlib.closing so I carried on using traditional
    try/finally blocks in cases that would require that.
  * Remove all uses of os.system and os.popen, replacing them with uses of
    the better-designed subprocess module.
  * Remove all code supporting the germinate -i/--ipv6 option; this has been
    off by default since November 2004, the service behind this was
    discontinued in March 2007
    (http://lists.debian.org/debian-ipv6/2007/02/msg00015.html), and
    germinate was never a great place to track this kind of thing anyway.
  * Convert all option parsing to optparse.  Consolidate defaults into a new
    Germinate.defaults module.
  * Update copyright dates.
  * Move canonical source location from people.canonical.com to a hosted
    branch on Launchpad.
  * Slightly modernise use of dh_python2.
  * Forbid seed names containing slashes.
  * Eliminate most uses of list.sort() in favour of sorted(iterable).
  * When promoting dependencies from lesser seeds, remove them from the
    lesser seed lists at output time rather than immediately.  This is
    mostly to make it easier to process multiple seed structures, but also
    fixes a long-standing bug where promoted dependencies were only removed
    from a single arbitrary lesser seed rather than from all possible ones.
  * Memoise the results of Germinator's _inner_seeds, _strictly_outer_seeds,
    and _outer_seeds methods.  This saves nearly a third of germinate's
    runtime in common cases.
  * Write all output files atomically.
  * Change default distribution to precise.
  * Update kubuntu-meta example in germinate-update-metapackage(1).
  * Refer to versioned GPL file in debian/copyright.
  * Policy version 3.9.2: no changes required.

  * Massive API cleanup:
    - Move output-writing functions from the top-level germinate program
      into Germinator.
    - Redesign how Germinator gets Packages/Sources sections from the
      archive.  This now works via an abstract interface, which should make
      it easier to plug in alternative archive sources (e.g. a database).
    - Move all apt_pkg interaction into library code.  Germinator.__init__
      now takes an architecture argument so that it can set
      APT::Architecture.
    - Turn open_seed into a Seed class, allowing it to be a context manager.
    - Move code pertaining to the structure of seeds into a SeedStructure
      class, simplifying the interface.
    - Make all module names lower-case, per PEP-8.  Remove the separate
      Germinate.Archive.tagfile module; this is now in germinate.archive
      directly.  Adjust build system and pychecker handling to support this.
    - Remove unnecessary logging helper functions.
    - Don't modify level names on the root logger simply as a result of
      importing germinate.germinator; move this into a function.
    - Prefix all private methods with an underscore.
    - Remove germinate.tsort from germinate's public API.
    - Convert all method names to the PEP-8 preferred style (method_name
      rather than methodName).
    - Introduce wrapper functions for the various uses of write_list and
      write_source_list, and make the underlying methods private.
    - Make most instance variables private by prefixing an underscore,
      adding a few accessor methods.
    - Convert build system to distutils, make the germinate Python package
      public, and create a new python-germinate binary package.
    - Improve the Seed class so that seeds can be read multiple times
      without having to redownload them, and so that they remember which
      branch they came from.
    - Don't modify inner seeds when processing outer ones; filter
      build-dependencies on output instead.
    - Don't plant or grow seeds that have already had functionally-identical
      versions planted or grown respectively.
    - Automatically convert string dists/components/mirrors/source_mirrors
      arguments to lists in TagFile constructor.
    - Make it possible for a single Germinator to process multiple seed
      structures, reusing the work done on common seeds.
    - Canonicalise mirrors (by appending '/' if necessary) in TagFile rather
      than in the main germinate program.
    - Handle the extra seed entirely within Germinator rather than modifying
      SeedStructure (which doesn't fit well with processing the same seed
      structure on multiple architectures).
    - Use module-level loggers.
    - Get rid of the custom PROGRESS log level.
    - Change germinate.archive to use logging rather than print.
    - Add docstrings for all public classes and methods, and tidy up a few
      existing ones per PEP-257.

germinate (1.27) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Alexandros Frantzis ]
  * Change local tag file name format to permit multiple repositories on the
    same host (LP: #634831).

germinate (1.26) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use 'bzr branch' rather than 'bzr get'; the latter is apparently
    deprecated in bzr 2.4.
  * Change default distribution to oneiric.

germinate (1.25.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add a new option, --no-installer, allowing one to process seeds
    without considering debian-installer udebs in the output.

germinate (1.25) unstable; urgency=low

  * Only raise an exception from open_tag_files if an appropriate file is
    not found on any mirror (thanks, Tom Gall, Steve Langasek, and Barry
    Warsaw; LP: #717879).

germinate (1.24) unstable; urgency=low

  * Always refresh copies of local Packages and Sources files (i.e. when
    using the file: scheme).

germinate (1.23) unstable; urgency=low

  * Write out entire decompressed Packages/Sources files in one go, rather
    than line-by-line.  This is a bit faster.
  * Convert to dh_python2.
  * Change default distribution to natty.
  * Update kubuntu-meta example in germinate-update-metapackage(1) (remove
    ia64 and sparc).

germinate (1.22) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change default distribution to maverick.
  * Update kubuntu-meta example in germinate-update-metapackage(1) (remove
    lpia).

germinate (1.21) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * Port the code to the new python-apt API and require at least
    version 0.7.93.2 of python-apt (closes: #571744).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Convert to source format 3.0 (native).
  * Policy version 3.8.4: no changes required.

germinate (1.20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add 'make check' which runs pychecker if available, and make it pass.
  * Change default distribution to lucid.
  * Update kubuntu-meta example in germinate-update-metapackage(1) (add
    netbook; remove hppa; add armel).

germinate (1.19) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix interpretation of architecture-specific regex seed entries where the
    regex contains a character class (which looks a bit like an architecture
    specification in the wrong light).

  [ Loïc Minier ]
  * Document --source-mirror option in germinate(1).

germinate (1.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make germinate-update-metapackage write out a metapackage-map file,
    which is useful for later determining the set of seeds and metapackages
    to build.
  * Add a debhelper addon, useful for building metapackages.

germinate (1.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use people.canonical.com everywhere rather than people.ubuntu.com.
  * Change default distribution to karmic.
  * Convert to debhelper 7. I've taken some care to avoid use of the new
    override targets since Ubuntu hardy-jaunty don't have a debhelper that
    supports those.
  * Policy version 3.8.2: no changes required.

germinate (1.16) unstable; urgency=low

  * Pass germinate-update-metapackage's list of components to debootstrap.
  * Replace internal wiki link in README with something world-readable.

germinate (1.15) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix handling of archives that only contain uncompressed index files
    (thanks to Chris Cheney for the report).

germinate (1.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * If germinate-update-metapackage fails, just print a message on stderr
    and exit 1, rather than raising RuntimeError (LP: #323714).

germinate (1.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Document 'germinate -v' in its manual page.
  * Report stderr as well as stdout from debootstrap failures (thanks, Loïc
    Minier; LP: #331488).
  * Use 'key in dict' rather than 'dict.has_key(key)'; dict.has_key is
    deprecated in Python 2.6.

germinate (1.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change default distribution to jaunty.

germinate (1.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Keep going if the blacklist file can't be downloaded. (This was always
    the intent, but foiled by an implementation error.)
  * Clarify the purpose of individual blacklist entries in seeds in
    germinate(1).
  * Render the description of special seed syntax in germinate(1) as a tag
    list, to make it easier to read.

germinate (1.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Increase the recursion limit to 2000 for now to avoid running into
    problems with very deep dependency chains following code changes in 1.9.
    Other solutions are possible; this is a quick temporary hack.

germinate (1.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix fallback from .bz2 files when OSError is raised.
  * Try promoting alternative dependencies before adding new packages to the
    output. While the first dependency in an |-ed list may be promoted from
    any lesser seed, doing this for all alternatives produces pathological
    output, so instead we only promote from "close-by" lesser seeds, i.e.
    those that list the current seed in a Task-Seeds header (LP: #271309).

germinate (1.8) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Fix -S example to use file:// where the rest of the documentation says
    you should (LP: #264471).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Prefer Packages.bz2 and Sources.bz2 to .gz if possible; if neither
    works, fall back to the uncompressed files.

germinate (1.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add support for setting per-seed features, so that following Recommends
    can be disabled for some seeds but not others (LP: #254042).

germinate (1.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Adjust printing of helpful ssh error messages when bzr fails (and
    re-raising of SeedError) to avoid causing problems when update.cfg
    contains multiple entries in seed_base.

germinate (1.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Consider whether there are any moves as well as additions or removals
    when deciding whether to run dch.

germinate (1.4) unstable; urgency=low

  [ François-Denis Gonthier ]
  * Display stdout from debootstrap on error.
  * --nodch shouldn't make germinate-update-metapackage display the 'No
    changes found' message.
  * Add a general description to germinate-update-metapackage's help output.
  * Add --output-directory to germinate-update-metapackage.

germinate (1.3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ François-Denis Gonthier ]
  * Add --nodch option to germinate-update-metapackage (LP: #242374).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Follow Recommends if 'feature follow-recommends' is set in the seed
    STRUCTURE file.
  * Document seed headers in germinate(1) (suggestion from François-Denis
    Gonthier).

germinate (1.2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Nicolas Barcet ]
  * Generate a seedstructure.dot diagram of seed inheritance.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Ensure that /usr/sbin and /sbin are on PATH when running debootstrap
    (closes: #487706). Requires Python 2.4.

germinate (1.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Only raise SeedError from open_seed if all attempts to open the seed
    failed; otherwise using multiple seed sources breaks.

germinate (1.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Check whether versions in dependencies are satisfied (LP: #74514).
  * Exclude Essential packages from metapackage dependencies (LP: #42261).
  * Make metapackage changelog entries more concise by merging items for
    multiple architectures (LP: #217963).
  * Print a helpful error message if an ssh connection fails, on the
    assumption that it's often due to an incorrect username (LP: #99123).
  * Document fetching seeds from the local file system (closes: #363536).
  * Add an example of using --seed-packages.
  * Change default distribution to intrepid. Update kubuntu-meta example in
    germinate-update-metapackage(1).
  * With all reported Ubuntu bugs fixed and only one organisationally-tricky
    Debian bug left, I think it's about time to bump the version to 1.0.

germinate (0.45) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add missing apt_pkg.InitSystem() calls (LP: #215625).

germinate (0.44) unstable; urgency=low

  * Support multiple archives (LP: #182915). Patch mostly from
    Francois-Denis Gonthier, adjusted and extended by me.

germinate (0.43) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix crash when using --seed-packages option.

germinate (0.42) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change Maintainer address back to cjwatson@ubuntu.com; I generally work
    on this package on work time.
  * germinate-update-metapackage honours new Task-Seeds and Task-Metapackage
    seed headers, replacing previous seed_map/* and metapackage_map/*
    entries in update.cfg.
  * Fix error message on failing to download non-bzr seeds.
  * Update kubuntu-meta example in germinate-update-metapackage(1).
  * Simplify germinate-update-metapackage changelog output when a package
    moves from depends to recommends or vice versa.
  * Remove obsolete dh_python call from debian/rules.

germinate (0.41) unstable; urgency=low

  * Plant seeds in topologically-sorted order. The intent of this change is
    the same as that in 0.40, only this time it should actually work in the
    face of seeds that inherit from other seeds that are overridden in a
    different branch.
  * On the other hand, continue to use the last entry in the source
    STRUCTURE file as the supported seed. It may not be topologically last
    if there are seeds in included branches that are not inherited by
    supported.
  * Remove overridden entries from 'structure' output file.

germinate (0.40) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix ordering of seed planting in the event that a seed in an included
    branch is overridden by one with different inheritance.

germinate (0.39) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Use 'bzr checkout --lightweight' to speed up seed checkouts.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Allow "metapackage_map/SEED" configuration file entries in
    update-metapackage, which can be used to generate output metapackages
    whose names do not match the generating seed names.

germinate (0.38) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix germination from multiple seed sources in bzr mode.
  * germinate-update-metapackage now automatically expands the seeds option
    for seed inheritance, so you no longer usually need to have separate
    seeds and output_seeds options in update.cfg.

germinate (0.37) unstable; urgency=low

  * Output a .seedtext file for each seed, containing the verbatim text of
    the seed.

germinate (0.36) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add special-case handling of supported+build-depends to
    germinate-pkg-diff.
  * Add -S/--seed-source, -s/--seed-dist, and -d/--dist options to
    germinate-pkg-diff.
  * Add support for germinating from multiple seed sources as well as
    multiple branches. This is needed to support "third-party" seed branches
    that are stored in a different location from branches they include.
  * Fix rescuing of packages from extra, broken in 0.32.

germinate (0.35) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make germinate-update-metapackage only blacklist the metapackage being
    generated, not all metapackages. See LP #148075.
  * Change default distribution to hardy.
  * Vcs-Bzr is now an official field.
  * Fix 'structure' output file; records were being separated by the empty
    string rather than by newlines, which made it rather useless.
  * Add an 'include' facility to the STRUCTURE file to allow seeds from one
    branch to inherit from seeds in another branch.
  * Automatically compute the transitive closure of inheritance
    relationships in the STRUCTURE file, rather than requiring them to be
    written out by hand. In other words, if you have 'minimal: required'
    then you can simply write 'standard: minimal' rather than 'standard:
    required minimal'. This is a requirement for sane use of 'include',
    since it may not be straightforward to hardcode the inheritance
    relationships among seeds in another branch.
  * Unhardcode the 'supported' seed. The last seed in the STRUCTURE file is
    now used for build-depends calculations.
  * Policy version 3.7.3: no changes required.

germinate (0.34) unstable; urgency=low

  * Follow Recommends in Section: metapackages as if they were Depends.
  * Ignore leading and trailing whitespace and blank lines in STRUCTURE
    files.
  * Allow comments (starting with #) in STRUCTURE files.

germinate (0.33) unstable; urgency=low

  * Honour recommends in germinate-pkg-diff.

germinate (0.32) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use dch -iU rather than dch -U. (I use
    DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC=changelog so never noticed the problem.)
  * Fix germinate-pkg-diff --mode option (was incorrectly --mirror, contrary
    to its meaning and the documentation).
  * Make germinate-pkg-diff work again even if supported is not in its list
    of seeds.
  * germinate-pkg-diff now automatically adds inherited seeds as necessary.
    Thus, the default list of seeds is reduced to simply 'desktop'.
  * Download package index files to a temporary directory if they aren't
    going to be saved.
  * Clean up package index files downloaded for germinate-pkg-diff.
  * Add germinate-pkg-diff -a/--arch option.
  * Update copyright dates.
  * Add manual pages for germinate-pkg-diff and
    germinate-update-metapackage.

germinate (0.31) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix excluding packages from seeds other than extra.

germinate (0.30) unstable; urgency=low

  * Generalise Extra-Include and Extra-Exclude to allow rescuing packages
    from any seed, not just extra. For example, Mobile-Include: *-dev will
    rescue all packages from sources that generate binaries named *-dev in
    the mobile output.

germinate (0.29) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add Vcs-Bzr control field.
  * Use dch -U if available.
  * Document meaning of seed entries in parentheses.
  * Remove old arch-tag lines.
  * PEP-8 import ordering.
  * Add --version option to all programs.

germinate (0.28) unstable; urgency=low

  * Try to fall back to alternative dependencies if one is blacklisted.
  * Honour blacklist entries even if they're explicitly seeded.
  * Don't apply blacklists (apart from the "supported" blacklist) to
    build-dependencies.
  * Be a little more verbose when blacklisting packages.
  * Allow "seed_map/SEED" configuration file entries in update-metapackage
    to have an output metapackage read its package list from multiple seeds
    (needed for splitting required and minimal in the Ubuntu seeds).

germinate (0.27) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add support for negative architecture specifications, e.g. [!powerpc].
  * Document % and [arch] seed syntaxes in germinate(1).
  * Add support for prefixing seed entries with "!" to enforce blacklisting
    packages from the containing seed and any of its inner seeds. For
    example, this allows a package to be in Ubuntu main but blacklisted from
    being shipped on CDs.
  * Change default distribution to gutsy.

germinate (0.26) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change default non-bzr seed location to
    http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/.

germinate (0.25) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change default distribution to feisty.
  * Fix file descriptor leak in Germinator.parseStructure().
  * Put the contents of the STRUCTURE seed file in a new "structure" output
    file.
  * Change default seed distribution to "ubuntu.feisty"; note new naming
    scheme.
  * Fetch seeds from
    http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ by default if
    the --bzr option is used.

germinate (0.24) unstable; urgency=low

  * When processing whole-source seed entries, only include real packages.
    This avoids slews of warnings for binaries that only exist on other
    architectures, and avoids mistakenly picking up virtual packages.

germinate (0.23) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix recommends-related changelog entries from update-metapackage.

germinate (0.22) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix crash when promoting from lesser seeds.
  * Include recommends in main outputs (they should continue to appear in
    Task headers and such, just not in metapackage dependencies), and create
    a .seed-recommends output for just the seeded recommendations.

germinate (0.21ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low

  * added support for recommends in seeds via enclosing the
    packagename in '('..')'. E.g. 
    * (pkgname)     # this will produce a recommends

germinate (0.21) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add optional output_seeds setting (defaults to value of seeds) in
    update.cfg, to allow seeds to be germinated for inheritance purposes
    without being output.
  * Sort added and removed packages in metapackage changelogs.

germinate (0.20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Consider sources from inner seeds while rescuing packages from extra (so
    e.g. in Ubuntu Extra-Include in supported should look at source packages
    from minimal etc. as well as from supported).
  * Rescue from sources in the build tree in a separate pass, and add
    rescued packages to the depends/build-depends lists rather than
    pretending that they're explicitly seeded. This means that rescued
    packages end up correctly in supported or supported+build-depends
    depending on whether their source packages were found while processing
    dependencies or build-dependencies.

germinate (0.19) unstable; urgency=low

  * Allow shell-style globs in seeds wherever regular expressions are
    allowed. (Regular expressions are surrounded by /.../, making this
    unambiguous.)
  * Add support for Extra-Include and Extra-Exclude variables, which allow
    automatically rescuing packages that match certain patterns from extra
    (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/seed-cleanup).
  * Tweak logging priorities for messages about virtual seed entries.
  * Don't display debugging messages by default; add germinate -v/--verbose
    option to display them.
  * Use sets rather than lists where possible. This roughly halves the
    runtime for the Ubuntu seeds.
  * Add extras recursively: binaries generated by sources pulled in by
    dependencies or build-dependencies of extra binaries should themselves
    be extra.

germinate (0.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * Convert to python-support.
  * Move python and python-support build-dependencies to
    Build-Depends-Indep.
  * Policy version 3.7.2.

germinate (0.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix d-i kernel version pruning to happen early enough to exclude seeded
    packages for the wrong kernel version (which can easily happen e.g. if
    regex seeds are used).
  * If no Kernel-Version variable is given, allow all udebs with
    Kernel-Version headers rather than none of them.
  * Change default distribution to edgy.

germinate (0.16) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add --bzr option to automatically check out seeds from bzr.
  * Switch from urllib to urllib2.
  * Refactor duplicated seed-fetching code into new Germinate.seeds module.
  * Add optional seed_dist setting in update.cfg files, to allow setting a
    default seed distribution.
  * Add --bzr option to update-metapackage as well (mostly implementing
    https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-meta-from-bzr).

germinate (0.15) unstable; urgency=low

  * Source moved to bzr; update copyright file.
  * Add germinate-update-metapackage script to help manage updating
    ubuntu-meta et al (thanks, Gustavo Franco; closes:
    https://launchpad.net/bugs/37917).
  * Improve man page documentation of --seed-packages slightly (see
    #363536).

germinate (0.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move Python modules to /usr/lib/germinate; .pyc/.pyo files are
    architecture-dependent.

germinate (0.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Build-depend on python (closes: #363040).

germinate (0.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upload to Debian (closes: #360631).
  * Switch to my debian.org maintainer address.

germinate (0.11) dapper; urgency=low

  * Fix plantSeed() backward incompatibility for *-meta/update scripts by
    defaulting seedrelease to None.

germinate (0.10) dapper; urgency=low

  * Add seed distribution name to seed descriptions in the "Why" column.

germinate (0.9) dapper; urgency=low

  * When processing the build tree, germinate is (correctly) careful not to
    promote packages from lesser seeds, since we still want to consider them
    (e.g.) part of ship even if they're build-dependencies of desktop.
    However, this sometimes caused us to select the wrong alternative from
    an or-ed build-dependency (e.g. redland Build-Depends:
    libmysqlclient15-dev | libmysqlclient12-dev | libmysqlclient10-dev and
    libmysqlclient15-dev was in the Ubuntu supported seed). To fix this,
    process the packages at that point anyway and just avoid promoting them.

germinate (0.8) dapper; urgency=low

  * When identifying extras, check for binaries built from multiple source
    packages and skip any superseded binaries.
  * Change default for --components to main and restricted, since the Ubuntu
    seeds rely on packages from restricted in order to germinate correctly.

germinate (0.7) dapper; urgency=low

  * Depend on python-apt (thanks, Jani Monoses).

germinate (0.6) dapper; urgency=low

  * Add regular expression support in seeds. Weaken architecture
    specification error checking in order to be able to use [...] in regular
    expressions more easily.
  * Add support for including all the binaries from a given source package
    (using "%source") in seeds.
  * Add germinate --cleanup option, to prevent caching of Packages and
    Sources files.
  * Add germinate --source-mirror option, to allow Packages and Sources
    files to be on different mirrors (e.g. Ubuntu ports architectures).

germinate (0.5) dapper; urgency=high

  * Stop accidentally including extra in the all and supported+build-depends
    outputs.

germinate (0.4) dapper; urgency=low

  * Don't attempt to satisfy versioned dependencies of .debs using virtual
    packages, as the packaging toolchain doesn't support that. (udpkg/anna
    do support this for .udebs, and the installer relies on that.)
  * Change default distribution to dapper.

germinate (0.3) breezy; urgency=low

  * Add a man page for germinate.
  * Explain in pkg-diff --help that you can supply a list of seeds to
    compare against as non-option arguments.
  * Update pkg-diff's default seeds to 'minimal standard desktop', to match
    the breezy seeds.
  * Add germinate --seed-packages option, to allow calculating dependencies
    of individual extra packages during a germinate run.
  * Policy version 3.6.2. No changes required.
  * Update GPL notices with the FSF's new address.

germinate (0.2) breezy; urgency=low

  * Fix formatting of output lines with UTF-8 maintainer strings.
  * Really pick the first reason from the build-dependency tree to display
    in output files.
  * Record allowed d-i kernel versions on a per-seed basis, so that we can
    have some kernel versions supported for netboot installations only.
  * Force a trailing slash onto the end of any --seed-source argument.

germinate (0.1) breezy; urgency=low

  * Initial release.
