debian: Enable `Rules-Requires-Root: no`.

2024-12-12T20:03:23Z

During a test rebuild for building packages with `Rules-Requires-Root: no` as the default in `dpkg`, liblopsub failed to rebuild. The problem is the rule of the `binary` target in `debian/rules` which runs `install(1)` with -o root -g root to set the owner and group ID of the files and directories being installed. With `Rules-Requires-Root: no`, this fails due to insufficient permissions. This commit removes the problematic options in favor of running `dh_fixperms(1)` just before `dh_makeshlibs(1)`. With these changes in place, the build no longer requires any form of root during the `binary` target. Consequently, we may enable rootless builds in `debian/control`.

debian: Make liblopsub-dev usable for cross compilation.

2024-08-28T14:08:49Z

In order to build a package such as tfortune which depends on the lopsub library, we need the liblopsub shared library for the host architecture, and we also need to run lopsubgen as a build architecture executable. These things currently reside in the same binary package, but for a cross build we need them to be installed for different architectures. This patch splits liblopsub-dev. The new liblopsub-bin package only contains lopsubgen and its man page. Since the -dev package depends on the -bin package, all existing uses will continue to work as is. For a cross build, liblopsub-dev will continue to be installed for the host architecture. liblopsub-bin will be installed for the build architecture though as it will be marked Multi-Arch: foreign, indicating that the architecture of the package does not matter for interactions with it. V3: Edit debian/changelog since this is no longer an NMU, add signed-off-by V2: Add missing "Multi-Arch: same" for liblopsub1t64, fix typo Signed-off-by: Andre Noll

Revert "Remove debian/."

2024-05-11T19:09:44Z

This reverts commit e6968b67d06f to bring back the contents of the debian directory. From now on changes in debian/ will only take place in this branch.

Remove debian/.

2024-05-11T19:08:29Z

Debian-related changes no longer happen in master. Instead, a dedicated branch will be created whose commits may only modify files below debian/. Whenever a new release is cut from the master branch, the master branch will be merged into the debian branch and debian/changelog will be updated accordingly. Suggested-by: Andreas Metzler

debian: Update Standards-Version.

2024-05-10T01:20:49Z

Scanning through the changes listed in /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz (after installing the debian-policy package) indicated that lopsub is compliant with the current standard. Suggested-by: lintian(1)

debian: Add missing Section header for liblopsub1t64.

2024-05-10T01:20:49Z

Packages without explicit section header get libdevel, which is not correct for liblopsub1t64. Suggested-by: lintian(1)

debian: Prefer https over http and git.

2024-05-10T01:20:48Z

It is generally recommended to use an unencrypted transport protocol. Thanks to Johannes Wörner for setting up https on the git server. Suggested-by: lintian(1)

debian: Remove duplicate homepage link from control file.

2024-05-10T01:20:48Z

It is already listed in the first (source file) stanza.

debian: Final version of 64-bit time_t transition.

2024-03-03T16:06:36Z

This partially reverts reverts commit b4d4de17a5c8, replacing it with the version that has been uploaded to unstable. It adds a versioned build-dependency on dpkg-dev to guard against accidental backports with a wrong ABI. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll

debian: 64-bit time_t transition.

2024-02-02T10:12:15Z

As part of the 64-bit time_t transition required to support 32-bit architectures in 2038 and beyond (https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time), we have identified liblopsub as a source package shipping runtime libraries whose ABI either is affected by the change in size of time_t, or could not be analyzed via abi-compliance-checker (and therefore to be on the safe side we assume is affected). To ensure that inconsistent combinations of libraries with their reverse-dependencies are never installed together, it is necessary to have a library transition, which is most easily done by renaming the runtime library package. Since turning on 64-bit time_t is being handled centrally through a change to the default dpkg-buildflags (https://bugs.debian.org/1037136), it is important that libraries affected by this ABI change all be uploaded close together in time. Therefore I have prepared a 0-day NMU for liblopsub which will initially be uploaded to experimental if possible, then to unstable after packages have cleared binary NEW. Signed-off-by: Andre Noll
