doc-base (0.11) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Lev Lamberov ]
* Fix typo in documentation
[ Eduard Bloch ]
* Fix typo in German translation
[ Robert Luberda ]
* Initial Portuguese translation of manpage (closes: #964798). Thanks
to Américo Monteiro.
* Fix a long-standing issue with doc-base trigger failures on upgrades of
packages that provided doc-base files from which install-docs could not
generate output control file in /var/lib/doc-base documents. In such a
case doc-base did not store information about input /usr/share/doc-base
files in its files database, what resulted in trigger failure on later
upgrade of the package (closes: #737172, #931705, LP: #1385362,
LP: #1607755, LP: #1726384, LP: #1755880).
* Remove support for scrollkeeper/rarian, as the packages have been
already removed from Debian (closes: #928635). Unfuzzy translations
of documentation.
* Bump debhelper's compat to 13.
* Standards-Version: 4.5.1.

on perl (closes: #602919):
+ Scrollkeeper.pm: provide our own local dirname() function and use it
instead of File::Basename;
+ InstallDocs.pm: use the `rm -r' and 'mkdir -p' programs instead of
File::Path;

by type of error;
+ make the Fatal() function call
+ debian/control: switch dependency on libmdlbm-perl to libyaml-tiny-perl;
+ debian/postinst: try to recover for yaml files corruption by deleting
them and re-spawning install-docs.

using it (LP: #431270, #510976);
+ this version gets rid of MLDBM and provides a better handling of
databases corruption, to prevent `read error' bugs
(LP: #695319, #675069, #672364, #668856, #652102, #621345);

-- Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:25:08 +0100
doc-base (0.8.18) unstable; urgency=medium
* install-docs.in: include $opt_rootdir in used vars not to fail when
Perl is in unusable state (closes: #501874). In such a case install-docs
should try to recover on next invocation (see entry for version 0.8.4)
-- Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org> Sun, 16 Nov 2008 22:34:09 +0100
doc-base (0.8.17) unstable; urgency=low
* doc-base.map: add a few self-mappings to prevent install-docs from
incorrectly changing case of characters in sections like Help/HOWTO
(without such a mapping the section name is turned into Help/Howto).

-- Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:46:50 +0200
doc-base (0.8.12) experimental; urgency=low
* Enhance doc-base dpkg's triggers support. Instead of simply re-registering
all available files, install-docs, when triggered, will find out names of
removed, changed or added /u/s/doc-base/* files and take appropriate
action on them.
* Change format of internal database of registered documents from plain
text files to DBM files (managed with GDBM_File and MLDBM):
+ add new DB.pm module to provide access to database;
+ move contents of old *.status files to new status.db;
+ save timestamps and document-ids of registered /u/s/doc-base/* files
in a new files.db database;
+ the timestamps will be saved even for broken doc-base files, that
cannot be properly registered;
+ make necessary changes in our other *.pm to support the new databases.
* install-docs.in:
+ add new --install-changed option, which compares contents of the files.db
database with contents of /u/s/doc-base dir and registers only changed
files; use this option for processing trigger in postinst;
+ new --dump-db option for debugging our databases;
+ update POD docs.
* InstallDocs.pm: print some additional messages to give clue what is
actually being done.
* DocBaseFile.pm, Document.pm: refactor function names.
* debian/control: add dependency on libmldbm-perl and build-dependency on
libmldbm-perl and libperl-uuid.
* debian/preinst: remove old plain text databases, call dpkg-trigger.
* debian/postinst: don't process triggers until our databases exist.
-- Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 22:07:06 +0200
doc-base (0.8.11) experimental; urgency=low
* Make use of the new dpkg triggers feature:
+ provide debian/triggers file;
+ change postinst to reinstall all docs on trigger activation;
+ install-docs is now no-op if called from other packages' installation
or removal scripts;
+ remove obsolete (created by doc-base << 0.8.7) dhelp/scrollkeeper files
in preinst rather than in postinst.
* Document.pm: remove a perl warning issued on removal doc-base files that
have been already deleted.
* Scrollkeeper.pm: switch from scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid to UUID.pm.
* Dwww.pm: call dwww-build-menu directly (without update-menus).
* debian/control:
+ add dependency on dpkg (>= 1.14.17) and libperl-uuid;
+ move scrollkeeper from Depends to Suggests field.
* doc-base.sgml:
+ add OCaml as an example sub-section of Programming (closes: #472501);
+ add TODO entry related to triggers support.

+ define real section hierarchy (closes: #109431), strongly based on the
menu one with a few doc-base specific sections added;
+ doc-base files should be UTF-8 encoded.
+ review TODO list.
* DocBaseFile.pm:
+ try to recode files to UTF-8 at install time,
+ warn on unknown doc-base sections.
* Utils.pm: Remove latin1 encoding support from HTMLEncode.
* While reregistering all documents run `dhelp_parse -r' to avoid index++
runs.
* Build with debhelper v6.

* Standards-Version: 3.7.3 (no changes).
-- Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org> Sat, 22 Dec 2007 13:22:11 +0100
doc-base (0.8.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Introduce /var/lib/doc-base/documents and dynamic generation of files
there in doc-base control file format. Interfaces like dhelp, dwww,
or doc-central should use that dir instead of /usr/share/doc.
* Add support for merging control files to allow multiple binary packages
provide the same documentation but in different formats.
* Try to standardise values of the Section: field.
* Add /etc/doc-base/documents in order to made it possible to register
local documents with doc-base (closes: #213847).
* Dhelp.pm:
+ don't generate .dhelp files, since dhelp 0.6 no longer supports them.
+ add a code to register/unregister doc-base control files with dhelp,
but not enable it yet.
* postinst: Remove all already generated .dhelp files and re-register
installed documentation files.
* Documentation update.
-- Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org> Sun, 02 Dec 2007 14:18:25 +0100
doc-base (0.8.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Rewrite Dhelp.pm to improve performance and minimise number dhelp_parse
calls, which after its reimplementation in Ruby started to be extremely
slow (it took `install-docs -I' ages to finish). Now, dhelp_parse will
be called at most two times in each install-docs invocation.
* Use 3-args open(), and also quote fields' values in our status file in
order not to fail on control files containing spaces (closes: #444889).
* Implement more checks of doc-base files, like unknown fields, duplicated
fields, fields in wrong sections (closes: #423120). Turn them into
warnings, since if they are errors, too many packages will fail to
install.
* Document.pm: try to minimise number of write_status_file() calls.
* Ignore SIGINT and some other signals while doing critical operations.
* Scrollkeeper.pm: scrollkeeper doesn't like `&' character (see bug#429847),
replace it with `(and)'.
* More code refactoring, but still not finished: use prototypes, fix typos,
standardise messages, etc.
-- Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org> Sun, 28 Oct 2007 12:00:37 +0100

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
re-register all the documents after install-docs is usable again.
* Add support for (de)registering multiple documents in one install-docs
invocation (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 output 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 invocation of install-docs.
* Dwww support:
+ skip running update-menus if dwww package doesn't seem to be installed.

+ 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.

which are already often used in the doc-base files
+ the `Index' field is required for the Info format.

+ support the above mentioned formats
+ warn if info format lacks the `Index' field.
* install-docs: Some fixes for dhelp support:
+ when registering the doc files, don't remove the old .dhelp file until
it's actually read and parsed. This partially fixes Bug#204195 (the full
fix would probably require not removing .dhelp files when doc-base documents
are unregistered)
+ don't HTML-encode entries already read from .dhelp file
+ made 'howto' and 'faq' section names uppercase.

(closes Bug#41785, #41161, #41326)
* install-docs: prior to installing new docreg file, remove any already
installed dhelp files -- this will help with the /usr/doc ->

warning, since 'install-docs -i' runs *after* the warning

'Directory not empty' due to .dhelp file left around during upgrade;
the solution in short is to run 'install-docs -r' during 'upgrade' in

including information on the Debian Document Hierarchy, the new docreg
file format documentation and system, and other documents; 0.9 will
probalby contain our implementations of these new infrastructures for
