Changelog
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
reregister all the documents after install-docs is usable again.
* Add support for (de)registering multiple documents in one install-docs
invokation (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 outuput 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 invokation of install-docs.
* Dwww support:
+ skip running update-menus if dwww package doesn't seem to be installed.
doc-base (0.8.3) unstable; urgency=low
* prerm: Oops, the first letter from the `else' word went somehow
missing (closes: #419045).
doc-base (0.8.2) unstable; urgency=low
* install-docs: yet another typo fixed.
doc-base (0.8.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix a typo that cuased broken omf files being generated in some cases
(closes: #418861).
doc-base (0.8.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Merge the scrollkeeper stuff from Ubuntu 0.7.21ubuntu2 (closes: #418412)
with the following changes:
+ set omf dir to /var/lib/doc-base/omf and make it link from
/usr/share/omf/doc-base;
+ 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.
doc-base (0.7.23) unstable; urgency=low
* Oops, the previous change caused dhelp warnings about trying to create its
.dhelp files in nonexistent directories. Fixed that.
doc-base (0.7.22) unstable; urgency=medium
* Show warnings about nonexistent files only when in verbose mode
(closes: #409186, #366250).
