libsoup2.4 (2.68.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload
  * d/gbp.conf: Switch branch to debian/unstable.
    We should upload the fix for CVE-2019-17266 to unstable, but
    the debian/master branch already has a version waiting for NEW
    processing.
  * New upstream release (CVE-2019-17266) (Closes: #941912)
  * libsoup-gnome2.4-dev: Explicitly depend on gir1.2-soup-2.4.
    According to the GIR mini-policy, this is required because
    gir1.2-soup-2.4 contains SoupGNOME-2.4.typelib, corresponding to
    SoupGNOME-2.4.gir in libsoup-gnome2.4-dev. This dependency is not in
    fact strictly necessary, because libsoup-gnome2.4-dev depends on
    libsoup2.4-dev which in turn depends on gir1.2-soup-2.4, but Lintian
    doesn't look at recursive dependencies.
  * libsoup2.4-doc.links: Create symlinks to documentation in /usr/share/doc.
    The actual documentation files remain in /usr/share/gtk-doc/html,
    because they are technically a programmatic interface: other libraries
    that depend on libsoup2.4 and use gtk-doc will use that path to fix
    cross-references in their own documentation.
    There are symlinks in both /u/s/d/libsoup2.4-dev (the "main package"
    in Policy ยง12.3), and /u/s/d/libsoup2.4-doc (the traditional location
    for documentation).
  * libsoup2.4-doc: Add Recommends: libglib2.0-doc, for the cross-references.
    The libsoup2.4 documentation contains many cross-references to GLib,
    GObject and GIO documentation. Add symlinks in /usr/share/doc so that
    those cross-references can be followed, even in browsers that treat
    symlinks like directories for the purposes of resolving relative paths.
  * d/libsoup2.4-doc.doc-base: Use the symlinks in /usr/share/doc.
    This is functionally equivalent to what we already had, but silences
    a Lintian error.
  * Standards-Version: 4.4.1 (no changes required)
  * d/copyright: Update
  * d/p/xmlrpc-tests-Cope-with-GLib-2.62-TAP-output.patch:
    Add proposed patch to fix test failures with GLib 2.62
  * Explicitly build-depend on libapache2-mod-php, PHP 7 and Python 3.
    The script that checks for the required PHP version is written in
    Python 3 and specifically looks for a php7* module. It seems that in
    practice the dependency resolver used on unstable buildds will always
    select libapache2-mod-php anyway, but the resolver used on
    experimental buildds can select the -cgi or -fpm implementations,
    which are not detected, resulting in the necessary files for some of
    the installed-tests not being installed.
  * Add lintian overrides for the binary package names not precisely
    matching the SONAMEs.
    They're close enough to achieve the goal of the mechanically-generated
    naming convention, and changing them now (other than at the time of an
    upstream SONAME bump) seems like more disruption than it's worth.
