Build-Depends
* template/debian/rules: streamline somewhat.
* equivs-build: support Replaces: field. (Closes: #118526)
* equivs-build, template/debian/README.Debian.in:
use "@" instead of the ISO-8859-1 section symbol for the variable
escapes, to make life slightly easier for users of other charsets.
- equivs-build.pod: update (and fix) the documentation for this
* equivs-build: allow comments in control file.
- template.ctl: comment out most of the entries, to save the user some
time in common cases. Also mention that packages lists are all
comma-separated.
* equivs-build: Lots of code cleanups. Highlights:
- Use File::Temp::tempdir. This removes the dir upon normal exit. On
abend, tell the user where it is so she can examine and remove it.
- Print usage message to STDERR, not STDOUT
- Actually bother to close all the files we open
- die with "\n". I doubt users care about source code line numbers.
- 3-arg open(), multi-arg system(), and in general try to look less
like Perl 4
- Delete outdated or useless comments, commented-out code, unneeded
variables, and redundant integrity checks
- Eliminate most use of global variables
The net effect is to shrink the file by about 20%.
