joey a776300da4 * Major typo fix in Tgz.pm. 
* Fixed newlines in tgz filelist.
   * Fixed some undefined value warnings.
   * Put the rpm spec file back in. Converting the debs to rpms fails
     because rpm doesn't use the same perl include path. Bummer.

alien (6.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Major typo fix in Tgz.pm.
* Fixed newlines in tgz filelist.
* Fixed some undefined value warnings.
* Put the rpm spec file back in. Converting the debs to rpms fails
because rpm doesn't use the same perl include path. Bummer.

alien (6.99) unstable; urgency=low
* The great rewrite. Alien is now based on pure object oriented package
objects. These objects can read all relevant details about a package, and
can generate packages based on that information. Thus, converting from one
format to another becomes a simple matter of generating one of these
objects, pointing it at a package, mutating it into the destination
class, and telling it to write the new package out! A basic alien can now
be written using these objects in one "line" of perl -- in fact, here is
one:
perl -MAlien::Package::Deb -MAlien::Package::Rpm -e '
$p=Alien::Package::Rpm->new(filename => shift); $p->unpack;
bless($p, "Alien::Package::Deb");
$p->prep; $p->build'
* Almost every line of code has been rewritten.
* Package descriptions now include a note that they were converted with
alien. There are other numerous changes to the converted packages, for
instance, generated .deb's now have more info in their copyright file.
* The template files were all moved inside the objects, which is actually
cleaner and is certainly easier to deal with.
* Usernames are now looked up the way POSIX intended.
* alien.1 is now generated from POD docs.
* Alien can now convert into multiple formats at once.
* Alien now always cleans up after failed converts, Closes: #62331
* Alien can now be used to just install a package with no conversion.
Closes: #53441
* Use a Makefile.PL because that seems to make sense, which means lots of
the build system had to be changed.

alien (6.59) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed typo, Closes: #60424
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 14 Mar 2000 20:30:01 -0800
alien (6.58) unstable; urgency=low
* Patch from Michael Barabanov <baraban@fsmlabs.com> to make -n work by
preventing rpm from expanding stuff like %S in the uuencoded scripts.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 12 Mar 2000 15:39:07 -0800
alien (6.57) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected priority in control file to optional; ftp admins, please take
note! This pakage has never belonged in extra..
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 11 Mar 2000 04:08:05 -0800
alien (6.56) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected a problem triggered by wordperfect's deb: rpm can't deal with
files that have spaces, unless they are quoted. Thus, quote all filenames.
* Handles empty directories now when converting to rpm.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 20 Jan 2000 16:25:27 -0800
alien (6.55) unstable; urgency=low
* Patch from Jan Nieuwenhuizen to fix control file extraction on

-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 3 Jan 2000 13:57:47 -0800
alien (6.53) unstable; urgency=low

-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 10 Dec 1999 10:21:43 -0800
alien (6.52) unstable; urgency=low
* Added (very simple) build dep.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 3 Dec 1999 23:34:10 -0800
alien (6.51) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixes to my build system.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 1 Dec 1999 14:19:52 -0800
alien (6.50) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed problem with relocatable packages, and probably several other
unrelated problems that were introduced last version.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 1 Dec 1999 13:52:55 -0800
alien (6.49) unstable; urgency=low

* Set locale to C while using rpm to pick at the .rpm file we are going to
convert, Closes: #42282
* Moved /usr/lib/alien to /usr/share/alien
* Added --nopatch option, Closes: #47069
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 18 Nov 1999 12:42:00 -0800
alien (6.48) unstable; urgency=low
* Patch from Benjamin Cant <ben@aegis.hands.com> to make it work even if
there is no space after control file lines in a debian package.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 23 Sep 1999 11:41:59 -0700
alien (6.47) unstable; urgency=low
* Now FHS compliant. But the packages it builds will probably not be..
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 6 Sep 1999 14:25:01 -0700
alien (6.46) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed alien.slp file generation.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 4 Sep 1999 23:49:10 -0700
alien (6.45) unstable; urgency=low
* Checked into cvs. Added a fixlinks script to generate all symlinks.
* Integrated into my build system for automatic home page updates.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 4 Sep 1999 23:17:50 -0700
alien (6.44) unstable; urgency=low
* Depend on cpio. It is used in the rpm unpack phase after all, since
alien uses rpm2cpio (Closes: #38969)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 12 Jul 1999 11:15:38 -0700
alien (6.43) unstable; urgency=low
* Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
seems to make sense for the transition.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 4 Jul 1999 10:57:20 -0700
alien (6.42) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't call dh_fixperms. As bug #36700 points out, some things you'll
want to convert have odd permissions intentionally. I suppose this
change will make a lot of stuff that has odd permissions accidentially
come through with bad perms, but that's life..
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 28 Jun 1999 15:51:37 -0700
alien (6.41) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed the makefile so it doesn't keep files owned by 500.500.
* --version, -v works.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 24 Jun 1999 11:30:22 -0700
alien (6.40) unstable; urgency=low
* D'oh corrected powerpc problem.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 16 Jun 1999 10:41:46 -0700
alien (6.39) unstable; urgency=low
* When converting from rpm, ppc -> powerpc (Closes: #39550), patch by
Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:12:03 -0700
alien (6.38) unstable; urgency=low
* Disable localization when getting the rpm --version output.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 20 May 1999 14:55:29 -0700
alien (6.37) unstable; urgency=low
* If the package that is being made into a deb has a release with no
number in it, dpkg-deb barfs, so add "-1" to the release in that
case. (#3755)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999 17:44:01 -0700
alien (6.36) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated XBF-i740 xserver diff.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 5 May 1999 13:44:03 -0700
alien (6.35) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed rpm minor version test.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 3 May 1999 13:35:18 -0700
alien (6.34) unstable; urgency=low
* Adjusted the rpm version test - rpm 2.92 and above need --target.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 30 Apr 1999 13:04:03 -0700
alien (6.33) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixes for rpm 3.0:
- Since rpm --showrc has changed to a format that is now very
difficult to machine parse for the topdir value, don't. Instead,
force rpm to output the rpm into the cirrent directory. This is
more consistent anyway.
- Detect rpm version and use --target or --buildarch appropriatly.
- Fixed alien.rpm's own build process to work again (stupid macro
substitutions...).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 23 Apr 1999 13:20:27 -0700
alien (6.32) unstable; urgency=low
* Dropped in diff files for the XBF-i740 xserver, thanks to Agustín
Martín <agmartin@aq.upm.es>
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 22 Apr 1999 12:57:54 -0700
alien (6.31) unstable; urgency=low
* Actually included the fixed file to make the relocatrable packages work.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 10 Apr 1999 14:14:27 -0700
alien (6.30) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed applix 4.4.1 menu.
* Fixed a problem with converting relocatable packages that contained
the directory they claimed they could relocate into. This fixes the
problem someone was having converting a Glide rpm - I forget who.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 10 Apr 1999 00:02:53 -0700
alien (6.29) unstable; urgency=low
* You don't need to be root to run alien -g or alien -s, so disabled the
check there.
* Removed extraneous install -d in debian/rules template file.
* Added support for applix 4.4.1.
* Fixed patch support, it's been broken.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Apr 1999 19:43:51 -0700
alien (6.28) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't call dh_installmanpages when converting to .deb, it can do the
wrong thing in some instances.
* Handling of relocatable packages was broken. (#31868) Fixed it by
looking at the rpm PREFIXES tag.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 14 Jan 1999 13:28:41 -0800
alien (6.27) unstable; urgency=low
* Depends on debhelper >= 0.88 so it can use -X option.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 27 Dec 1998 21:00:36 -0800
alien (6.26) unstable; urgency=low
* If 822-date fails, the error now suggests installing dpkg-dev. This is
way up there in the alien faw and I'm tired of answering it.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Dec 1998 19:02:26 -0800
alien (6.25) unstable; urgency=low
* Alien can now be installed into eg, /usr/local via a PREFIX variaible
in the Makefile, based on work by Roman Shterenzon <roman@xpert.com>.
* Typo fix from Roman Shterenzon.
* Moved the patch files that come with alien out of /var/lib/alien
into /usr/lib/alien/patches. Alien will now check both directories for
patches, /var first.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 30 Nov 1998 17:12:10 -0800
alien (6.24) unstable; urgency=low
* I hope this will work with i586.deb files.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 25 Nov 1998 21:19:19 -0800
alien (6.23) unstable; urgency=low
* It seems perl 5.003 breaks alien, so I set up dependancies on 5.004, and
updated documentation accordingly.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 24 Nov 1998 00:26:21 -0800
alien (6.22) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated urls to the alien-extra stuff, it's now hosted on Bruce S.
Babcock's machine.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 24 Nov 1998 00:04:53 -0800
alien (6.21) unstable; urgency=low
* Exclude .Z files from compression by dh_compress when converting to .deb
package.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 20 Nov 1998 15:54:01 -0800
alien (6.20) unstable; urgency=low
* Convert tar.Z files too.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 18 Nov 1998 19:32:13 -0800
alien (6.19) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't fail even if dh_shlibdeps fails.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 1 Nov 1998 21:44:32 -0800
alien (6.18) unstable; urgency=low
* Hack so it'll work on packages where the upstream version doesn't
contain any digets.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 15 Sep 1998 18:06:13 -0700
alien (6.17) unstable; urgency=low
* Rebuilt with debhelper 1.1.15 so that patches arn't installed as man
pages.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 31 Aug 1998 13:31:56 -0700
alien (6.16) unstable; urgency=low
* When converting from .tgz files, use arch: all. Sort of a hack, but
since we don't know what arch of stuff is in them, it's as good a
guess as any. This will let people use the conversion on other
architectures. (#26253).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 30 Aug 1998 21:57:39 -0700
alien (6.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed a bug converting slp -> rpm, where filenames in the generated
filelist didn't start with "/".
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 17 Aug 1998 15:39:31 -0700
alien (6.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Die early if converting to a .deb and not root. Debhelper command will
cause it to die later on, anyway. (#25775)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 16 Aug 1998 17:45:38 -0700
alien (6.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't bother calling dh_strip when converting to a .deb. This has caused
more trouble than it's worth.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 13 Aug 1998 13:13:50 -0700
alien (6.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Will now properly convert rpm's that have things like + in their name.
(#25656).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 12 Aug 1998 15:09:30 -0700
alien (6.11) unstable; urgency=low
* There was a problem converting rpm packages to tgz and slp formats (and
to a much lesser degree converting them to dpkg format): any parent
directories that were not in the rpm, but did have children in the rpm,
would end up with bad permissions (700). Alien now does a smart scan to
detect this and changes the permissions to a more sane 755.
* When converting to slp or tgz, with -g or -s, output informative
message, same as when converting to rpm or deb.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 20 Jun 1998 21:06:37 -0700
alien (6.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove a junk file that crept in in the last version.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 17 Jun 1998 18:00:32 -0700
alien (6.09) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a short document on how to generate a diff file for use by alien.
* Fixed a security hole in alien generated rpm files that had scripts in
them, that could allow a user to clobber files on the filesystem. Any
such alien generated rpm files currently in existence already contain
this bug, so be careful with them. Such files should be rare, they have
to be generated by "alien --to-rpm --scripts".
* That bug is even less likely, becuase it turns out --scripts has been
broken since alien version 6.0. Oops. Fixed.
* --single and --description were also broken since 6.0, and are fixed
now.
* It used to be that only shell scripts could be converted to rpm format,
because of a stupid bug. Fixed.
* There has been a change in how rpm outputs the file list for a
relocatable package - it used to strip the prefix from each filename,
and I could get at it in the DEFAULTPREFIX tag. Now it doesn't, and that
tag doesn't exist. The only change I actually had to make was to make
alien send rpm's error about DEFAULTPREFIX not being a valid tag to
/dev/null. All the code for dealing with DEFAULTPREFIX has been left in,
for backwards compatability.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 10 Jun 1998 14:33:17 -0500
alien (6.08) unstable; urgency=low
* Automatic installation of .tgz and .rpm files was broken.
* Removed yet another use of tar -I.
* Generated .slp files now properly contain filenames all starting with
"./", just like normal Stampede packages.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 9 May 1998 14:28:54 -0700
alien (6.07) unstable; urgency=low
* New alien-extra's are available; updated the README to point to them.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 8 May 1998 23:01:37 -0700
alien (6.06) unstable; urgency=low
* Noted in README that you need bzip2 for stampede conversions.
* For compatability with non-debian systems, don't use tar -I, pipe bzip2,
instead.
* Fixed Toslp.pm to generate slp packages with the correct BINFORMAT
settings.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 7 May 1998 16:36:48 -0700
alien (6.05) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed -k switch (#22168).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 6 May 1998 12:22:02 -0700
alien (6.04) unstable; urgency=low
* Added support for generating slp packages -- alien is now capable of 16
different types of conversions!
* Cleaned up some of Fromslp.pm.
* Added support for converting from .slp packages that use .gz
compression, as well as .bz2.
* Still TODO: handling postinst script when converting to/from .slp
packages.
* Updated Makefile to build .slp package of alien too, it will now appear
on alien's homepage.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 3 May 1998 12:35:45 -0700
alien (6.03) unstable; urgency=low
* Added support for converting from v5 Stampede linux packages. Still a
little rough and mostly untested.
* Note that though the documentation says it can convert to Stampede
packages as well, this isn't implemented yet. But I wanted to get a
snapshot of my work so far out for testing by the Stampede people.
* Changed hard links back to symlinks.
* Got rid of standards-version in the created .deb files, that was stilly
to have in there.
* Standardized warnings.
* Fixed some documentation.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 2 May 1998 21:25:05 -0700
alien (6.02) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed typo in README (#21126).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 14 Apr 1998 23:25:17 -0700
alien (6.01) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* alien -i was broken, now fixed.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 9 Apr 1998 19:03:38 -0700
alien (6.00) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed the module interface to be much cleaner. Probably broke many
things in the process.
* use strict throughout.
* It is now possible to do multiple conversions with a single run of
alien.
* Reworked the rules file used to convert to a debian package so it uses
debhelper. Alien no longer uses debstd at all. Adjusted dependancies
accordingly.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 8 Mar 1998 16:22:50 -0800
alien (5.21) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated standards-version.
* Fixed how it handles symlinks so the kernel 2.1.8x symlink bug doesn't
prevent the package from building, by using hardlinks instead.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 9 Feb 1998 13:39:49 -0800
alien (5.20) unstable; urgency=low
* added --description= flag, that lets the description of slackware
packages be set.
* Put packages converted to .deb format into a section called "alien".
* s/kite.ml.org/kitenet.net/g
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 23 Nov 1997 18:05:14 -0500
alien (5.19) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied fix to preserve modification time when converting from rpm
format. Thanks to Oberhumer Markus <k3040e4@c210.edvz.uni-linz.ac.at>
* Modified lsm to place alien into /pub/Linux/utils/packages.
* Added md5sums file back in.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 20 Oct 1997 22:30:29 -0400
alien (5.18) unstable; urgency=low
* Use debhelper to build alien (still uses debstd to convert packages).
* Use dpkg-deb if available, instead of using ar. This fixes #12318: alien
can now handle old format deb files.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 27 Sep 1997 15:52:08 -0400
alien (5.17) unstable; urgency=low
* Added version info to filename of generated .tgz files.
* Added --keep-version flag, which makes alien not increment the
release number/debian version number.
* Man page fixups.
* Fixes for epochs (for now, just remove epochs, since rpm cannot handle
them.)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 12 Sep 1997 13:08:03 -0400
alien (5.16) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed binary-indep target.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 4 Sep 1997 18:33:18 -0400
alien (5.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Exit with an understandable error if we can't write to the pwd.
* Standardized error messages.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 30 Aug 1997 20:20:18 -0400
alien (5.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Reccommend rpm >= 2.4.4-2, so noarch works, and /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/
and /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/{noarch,<arch>} exist. Fixes #12220 and #12218.
* Escape out variables in m// and s/// operators, fixes Bug #12219.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 22 Aug 1997 12:31:06 -0400
alien (5.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Preliminary support for converting install scripts with the --scripts
option. We have to uuencode them for rpm's.
* Revised documentation.
* Routine update of debian/rules:
Fakeroot and sudo fixes (#11325).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 26 Jul 1997 21:24:49 -0400
alien (5.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed problem converting tgz files that contained files in the install/
directory into rpm.
* Ok, I'll announce this version to cola, instead of 5.11..
* Updated .lsm description.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 13 Jul 1997 13:26:13 -0400
alien (5.11) unstable; urgency=low
* Announce on cola again.
* Added noarch support into alien.
* Changed rpm package to noarch version.
* Other fixes to spec file.
* Routine update of debian/rules:
Only run sudo when really necessary - makes fakeroot work.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 9 Jul 1997 20:58:56 -0400
alien (5.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed an error in rpm package - all symlinks were being omitted from the
package.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 26 Jun 1997 18:23:53 -0400
alien (5.9) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed stupid ugly bug in last version. "=~ tr" and "= ~tr" are very
different things!
* Reorganized some of the code.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 23 Jun 1997 11:57:38 -0400
alien (5.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Rpm doesn't like version numbers that contain dashes, so change to
underscores when converting to rpm. Thanks to Arne Elofsson.
* Added some examples to the man page.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 22 Jun 1997 23:05:51 -0400
alien (5.7) unstable; urgency=low

-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 2 Jun 1997 13:06:40 -0400
alien (5.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Added some more documentation and warnings about file ownerships getting
screwed up if you run alien as non-root.
* Added basic support for converting to Slackware tgz format. Mostly
untested. I confess, I did this just to simplify the documentation of
what alien can do. It was only 10 lines of code to add this, anyway. :-)
* Had a hard drive crash and reassembled this package from bits and
pieces. Hope it's not broken..

alien (5.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Turns out alien has been broken for processing slackware packages since
version 3.0. It was leaving an /install directory behind. Fixed this.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 20 May 1997 21:10:50 -0400
alien (5.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Added partial support for relocatable packages: DEFAULTPREFIX is
examined, and if set, a subdirectory by the same name is created in the
build directory of the package. This means relocatable packages end up
in a sane location, not scattered in the root directory as they were
previously.
* Smarter guessing of patch file name to use, now looks at version number
and revision number if neccessary.
* Added a patch file for applix 4.3 (and one for the applix-english package).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 15 May 1997 18:35:46 -0400

alien (4.2) unstable; urgency=low
* When installing deb file, alien will use --no-force-overwrite
The idea behind this is to make it difficult to trash your debian system
by installing alien packages that overwrite files in it. This only works
if you use alien --install, not if you install the resulting .deb file by
hand. This is a temporary fix until dpkg has --force-overwrite turned
off by default.

* If a package has underscores in it's name and is being converted to deb
format, change the underscores to dashes. Thanks to
Robert Coie <rac@mata.intrigue.com>
* Strip out any other disallowed characters in package name when
converting to deb.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 4 Apr 1997 20:12:07 -0500
alien (4.00) unstable; urgency=low
* Added support for converting deb to rpm, based on the "martian" program
by Randolph Chung <rc42@cornell.edu>.
* Huge reorganization, rewrite, and code cleanup.
* As a side effect of the above, alien can also convert tgz into rpm now.
* Use rpm -qcp to list conffiles from rpm files.
* Reworked how conffiles are found from tar files.
* Removed --noinstall option, changed alien to default to not installing
generated packages, added --install option to make it install packages.
* Removed --nopatch/--auto option, and changed patch lookup behavior. See
the man page for an explination of the new behavior.
* Now Recommends: dpkg-dev and make and Suggests: patch
* Dropped feature of making slackware package install scripts into
postinst. If there is any demand, I'll try to work this back into the
program.
* Rewrote most of the man page.
* Fixed the version number so there are two digets in the minor revision
number.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 29 Mar 1997 21:49:30 -0500

* Recommends: cpio becuase it is needed for rpm2cpio extraction.
* Patch files do not have to be compressed.
* Routine update of debian/rules:
Clean up junk files in subdirs.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 7 Mar 1997 16:08:02 -0500
alien (2.82) unstable; urgency=low
* Use CHANGELOGTEXT, not CHANGELOG, when querying rpm files for
changelogs. Fixes bug #7445.
* Modification to work with rpm verison 2.3.7. This breaks compatability
with previous versions of rpm. Modified control file to reflect this.

* Added a patch file for Applixware.
* I'm looking for patch files for other commercial software, to add to the
package. If you own commerical linux software and would like to
contribute a patch, please contact me.
* Generated debian/rules files will no longer pass package name to debstd
(And neither does the debian/rules file for this package.)
* Added -s switch for low disk space situations.
* Added -i switch to build a package but not install it.
* Added long options (--option), as I can never remember the short ones.
* Fixed bug in guessing name of patch file to use.
* Fixed bug that would not let you specify a patch file in the current
directory, or a relative path to a patch file.
* Don't use /etc/rpmrc as an indiciation of whether rpm is present, as
this is a conffile, and might be deleted. Test for actual rpm binary.
* More friendly error message if patch file is not found, suggesting that
you try -n option.
* Rewrote the code that figures out information about the rpm files so it
uses rpm --queryformat to determine everything.
* If a rpm has a changelog, add it to the end of debian/changelog.
* Add summary to the Description: field of generated control files.
* Add info from a rpm's copyright field to to the copyright file.
