alien (8.94) unstable; urgency=medium
* QA upload.
* Fix "FTBFS with perl 5.22 in experimental (MakeMaker changes)":
remove override_dh_auto_install in debian/rules, and
use DESTDIR in Makefile.PL.
(Closes: #792371)
* Avoid uninitialized value warning when debian/rules fails to run
due to alien being run in a noexec directory. Closes: #579216
* Prevent DESTROY stomping on alien's exit code sometimes.
directory failing if the directory already existed (and let it delete the
existing directory). Closes: #181061
* Fixed several other instances of the same precidence problem in the code.
users/groups in their preinst, and which alien therefore cannot ship the
files with proper ownerships in the .deb. In this case alien will now
insert appropriate chown commands into the postinst script of the
converted package.
* That only works when converting rpm to deb, not the other way around,
for now.
* Removed the cpio directory permissions fixup code, which was probably
broken, and is obsolete since I get directory perms from the rpm now.
fully conformant with the LSB), and it can take LSB packages and convert
them into other formats. Unlike all the other conversions, lsb packages's
dependancy (on lsb) and their package scripts are preserved in the
generated packages (when allowed by the target package format). This means
your distribution will need to have a package named 'lsb' for the result
to be installable. (Debian will have one soon..)
* Suggest rpm-lsb, which is the preferred rpm to build lsb packages with.
Use it if it's present, plain old rpm otherwise.
not in a subshell; this is safer especially if odd filenames are
involved.
* When converting from rpm, only chmod each directory once, it was doing
it many times for some directories before.
* Fixed chmodding to use the correct path to the directory. This fixes
file permissions in rpm's converted to other formats, a bug introduced
at 7.0.
* Fixed some undefined value warnings (which pointed out real but rare
bugs).
* Fixed a rare, but bad little bug. If you ran alien in a directory that
had the suid/sgid bit set (as my home directory does), and generated
debs and probably other formats, it generated packages with the root
directory suid/sgid.
