This + complies with the latest draft of SPF 2.0. + * A new ob_clean_name() function has been added. + ob_get_binary_packages() no longer complains about duplicate "clean" + binary package names such as "libc-1" and "libc++.1". This will + allow SPF 2.0 to remove the restriction on "binary package clean + names". + +Build system: + + * The test suite summary is fixed, after being broken by GNU Automake + since version 1.16.3. + +opkbuild version 4.2.2 +---------------------- + +Released: 2021-01-02 + +Utilities: + + * ob-buildopk now sets the modification time of the "control.tar.gz" + and "data.tar.gz" files after compression rather than before, + because BusyBox's gzip doesn't preserve modification times. + * ob-buildenv now adds "-ffile-prefix-map" options to CFLAGS and + CXXFLAGS. It also now sets "TZ='UTC0'" and "LC_ALL='C'". + * ob-gencontrol now reduces and normalizes binary package dependencies + after substituting variables. Otherwise, substitution variables may + contain dependency restrictions or newline characters that are + passed through to the binary package's control file. + +libopkbuild: + + * ob_iso8601_gmtime() and ob_touch_t_gmtime() no longer trigger an + infinite loop when passed times on January 1.

This is not expected to change + file owners or groups in any ProteanOS packages at this time, + because: + - oh-fixperms (used in most packages) also sets owners and groups + - "build" makefile "install" targets are run with (fake) superuser + privileges. + * opkbuild now runs the "build" makefile's "install" target and all + ob-* commands under the same (fake) superuser environment. This was + the behavior in versions 3.0.0-alpha1 through 3.0.0-beta7. Since + version 4.0.0, commands were run in separate (fake) superuser + environments, which may not preserve superuser ownership of files. + * Source package names are now prefixed with "src:" instead of "src-". + pro-archman has supported this in its package name hashing since + version 2.0.0. + * With ob_get_binary_packages() becoming always pure (see below), all + utilities now scan the file system for binary packages only once. + +libopkbuild: + + * ob_get_source_parameter() now supports a "Format" field to get the + source package formate version. + * An optional "Section" control field has been added to source package + format 2.x. + * The modification time in manual pages is now parsed and formatted + correctly. + * New functions ob_validate_section() and ob_qualify_package_name() + have been added. + * ob_get_binary_packages() is now always pure (without side effects + that would preclude use in a subshell environment).
