[ubuntu/karmic] autoconf-nonfree 2.63-1 (Accepted)

Tue May 5 14:40:10 BST 2009

autoconf-nonfree (2.63-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New maintainer with the permission of the previous maintainer.
  * New upstream release.  (Closes: #447861)
    - info autoconf now goes to the top of the manual.  (Closes: #401648)
    - The requirement of special handling of $@ in configure.ac scripts is
      now documented.  (Closes: #372179)
    - AC_PATH_XTRA works differently in current versions of Autoconf and
      the documentation now correctly reflects that.  (Closes: #298504)
    - The AC_COMPILE_IFELSE synopsis uses more accurate argument names.
      (Closes: #325861)
    - autoheader AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED limitations with non-literal symbols
      are now documented.  (Closes: #179086)
  * Build PDF and PostScript versions of the Autoconf manual in addition
    to info and HTML, and add the required build dependencies.
  * Depend on gnu-standards and symlink the standards PDF and HTML files
    so that document links work properly.  (Closes: #376838)
  * Install upstream AUTHORS and THANKS files.
  * Update the README.Debian to warn that this manual may not always match
    the separately-maintained autoconf package and to strengthen the
    pointer to the autotools-dev documentation.
  * Rewrite the doc-base configuration file.
    - Change the document ID to just autoconf.
    - Expand the abstract based on the upstream manual introduction.
    - Update the doc-base section.
    - Add the info, PDF, and PostScript formats.
  * Rewrite the long package description and remove details that are more
    appropriate for the main autoconf package.
  * Add a Homepage control field.
  * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser control fields.
  * Remove suggest of autobook, which is no longer in Debian.
  * Remove suggest of autoconf and autoconf-archive.  These packages are
    related but don't add additional functionality to the documentation
    and hence in my opinion don't qualify for Suggests.
  * Remove ancient Conflicts.
  * Move the source package into the same section as the binary package
    and remove the redundant Section and Priority fields from the binary
    package.
  * Add a watch file.
  * Update debhelper compatibility level to V7.
    - Use debhelper rule minimization with override targets.
    - Use debian/info instead of debian/install to install the info files,
      avoiding the need to pass arguments to dh_installinfo.
  * Rewrite debian/copyright to use the proposed new format.
    - Add an explicit (public domain) license for the packaging.
    - Add the required disclaimer for why this package is in non-free.
  * Update standards version to 3.8.1 (no changes required).
