Changelog
doc-base (0.7.21ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian.
* Use the HTML-encoding function written for dhelp support rather than our
own, which encoded < and > incorrectly.
* Encode characters outside ASCII as numeric character entities rather
than outputting them as UTF-8; with a little care, this allows us to
avoid the use of Unicode::String. (install-docs is used
opportunistically by maintainer scripts without a dependency, so it must
behave as if it were Essential and work correctly when unconfigured.)
* Write OMF files even if they already exist.
* Fix typo in scrollkeeper.map ("Appls/Graphics" -> "Apps/Graphics").
doc-base (0.7.21) unstable; urgency=low
* doc-base.sgml:
+ bless a few documentation formats: PDF, PostScript, Info, and DVI,
which are already often used in the doc-base files
+ the `Index' field is required for the Info format.
* install-docs:
+ 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.
* debian/postinst: Reregister all the doc-base files.
doc-base (0.7.20) unstable; urgency=low
* doc-base.sgml:
+ document common practice that value of `Files' field is a space
separated list of filenames or glob patterns
+ also explicitly document the meaning of lines starting with two
or more spaces
+ add the missing word (closes: #289448)
* install-docs:
+ encode HTML special characters when generating the .dhelp files
(closes: #114877)
+ correctly handle the verbatim text and blank line for the .dhelp files
+ warn if files referred by the doc-base files does not exist.
* debian/postinst: Reregister all the doc-base files because of the above
install-docs changes.
* Remove ancient stuff from postinst & prerm scripts, remove preinst
entirely.
* Use `which' instead of`command -v' in the scripts (closes: #292967).
* debian/copyright: update.
* debian/control: suggest doc-central as an alternative to dhelp or dwww.
* Ack NMU (closes: #278495).
doc-base (0.7.19) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer (closes: #358436).
* debian/*: Switch build-system do debhelper v5.
* debian/postinst: Reorder arguments to invocation of find(1) command
(closes: #309516).
doc-base (0.7.18-0.1) unstable; urgency=high
* Non-maintainer upload.
* High-urgency upload for sarge-targetted RC bugfix
* Fix install-docs to not require perl's File::Basename, so that it
works even when perl is unconfigured. Thanks to Colin Watson for
the patch. Closes: #278495.
