Description: 
 doc-base   - utilities to manage online documentation
Closes: 35895 114692 128493 204195 333648 366250 392587 395824 409121 409186 418412 418861 419045
Changes: 
 doc-base (0.8.4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Split install-docs into modules to make the code more manageable.
   * Try to avoid bugs like #278495: if our modules can't be loaded when
     (de)registering documentation files, create special flag file and
     reregister all the documents after install-docs is usable again.
   * Add support for (de)registering multiple documents in one install-docs
     invokation (closes: #114692).
   * Add --check/-c option to install-docs (closes: #35895), also add --rootdir
     option.
   * Remove `Registered-to-XXX' statuses, remove *.list files, deprecate the
     -L/--listfiles option. Names of the generated files are now keep in
     the status file in `Scrollkeeper-omf-files' and `Dhelp-files'  fields.
   * Change semantics of -r/--remove option: its arguments should be the names
     of previously installed doc-base files, and not the documents IDs. Still
     support the old semantics for backward compatibility.
   * Introduce -I/--install-all, -R/--remove-all, -d/--debug, -h/--help options.
 .
   * Change the build system, create Makefile and let it do all the work.
 .
   * doc-base.sgml:
     + Update outuput of --status, remove reference to --listfiles.
     + Add chapter about checking syntax of control files.
     + Update syntax of --remove option.
 .
   * Dhelp support:
     + Pass a list of all registered files to dhelp (closes: #128493).
     + Create dhelp files only in top-level documentation dirs
       (i.e. /usr/share/doc/$package instead of /u/s/d/$package/something).
       According to dhelp's documentation this is the right thing to do.
       Also this should avoid problems with symlinks like #21678.
     + Add a special `x-doc-base-id' tag to generated dhelp files to make it
       possible to distinguish items in the dhelp files. When installing new
       documents existing files are no longer overwritten (closes: #204195),
       but on the other hand on documents removal the dhelp files may not be
       removed, which possibly reintroduces bugs like #59850.
     + Don't call dhelp_parse {-d,-a} on files that weren't changed.
 .
   * Scrollkeeper support:
     + Fix broken non-empty directories check.
     + Save generated series id in `Scrollkeeper-sid' status field and use it
       for following registrations of the same document.
     + Call scrollkeeper-update only once in each invokation of install-docs.
 .
   * Dwww support:
     + skip running update-menus if dwww package doesn't seem to be installed.
 .
 doc-base (0.8.3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * prerm: Oops, the first letter from the `else' word went somehow 
     missing (closes: #419045).
 .
 doc-base (0.8.2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * install-docs: yet another typo fixed.
 .
 doc-base (0.8.1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Fix a typo that cuased broken omf files being generated in some cases 
     (closes: #418861).
 .
 doc-base (0.8.0) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Merge the scrollkeeper stuff from Ubuntu 0.7.21ubuntu2 (closes: #418412)
     with the following changes:
     + set omf dir to /var/lib/doc-base/omf and make it link from
        /usr/share/omf/doc-base;
     + try to register more formats in addition to html, both khelpcenter and
       yelp can handle them via external applications. Thanks to Sam Morris
       <sam+robots.org.uk> for the suggestion;
     + suggest yelp | khelpcenter as scrollkeeper browsers;
     + don't run scrollkeeper-update if --no-update-menus was passed to
       install-docs.
 .
   * Improve the doc-base manual:
     + enhance the document layout, add some cross references;
     + remove the paragraph about automatic conversions between formats, it's
       not true, and won't be soon (unless someone provides me patch for this);
     + put an example of PDF and other supported formats (closes: #409121);
     + clarify allowable shell glob patterns (closes: #392587);
     + mention that the registered files should be located under /usr/share/doc
       hierarchy (closes: #333648);
     + review the TODO list, add some items I'd like to implement shortly.
 .
   * postinst/postrm scripts:
     + do proper quoting of file names (closes: #395824);
     + reinstall_docs removes installed docs before re-registering them;
     + make the handling docs code from postrm match the postinst code;
 .
   * install-docs:
     + `missing Index field for Info format' is an error now, not warning;
     + if glob() returns only one file, check for its existence. glob() seems
       to simply return its argument if it doesn't contain any meta-characters;
     + skip any doc-base files that contain Version: field, for future changes;
     + ignore `two many arguments' error for `-i' and `-r' options;
 .
   * Move debhelper to Build-Depends (lintian)
   * Remove one useless lintian override and add two new ones ;)
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.7.2.
 .
 doc-base (0.7.23) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Oops, the previous change caused dhelp warnings about trying to create its
     .dhelp files in nonexistent directories. Fixed that.
 .
 doc-base (0.7.22) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Show warnings about nonexistent files only when in verbose mode
     (closes: #409186, #366250).
