opkbuild version 4.0.0-dev
--------------------------
Released: ????-??-??
Build system:
* The build system is now generated by GNU Autoconf and Automake.
* libopkbuild is now distributed as a sort of shared library object,
"linked" by the shld linker tool. By default, it is installed into
"/usr/local/share/sh/".
* The test suite now uses the Test Anything Protocol and Automake's
TAP driver.
* The mksysconf tool (used to generate "proteanos_arch" and
"proteanos_plat" system configuration files for testing opkbuild)
has been removed.
Utilities:
* ob-unpacksource now supports decompression of xz-compressed upstream
archives.
* ob-applypatches now tracks and skips applied patches, instead of
re-running the patch command and throwing an error.
* Manual pages for all utilities have been updated/written and are now
built and installed for the first time since opkhelper 1.0.0.
* Utilities can now be run in-place without installation by setting
libopkbuild's OB_LIB_BUILDDIR and OB_EXE_BUILDDIR environment
variables to the "locale" directory in the build directory.
libopkbuild:
* libopkbuild's "shared object version" has been bumped to 2 to
reflect a new incompatible API.
* libopkbuild now aborts the program, instead of just returning 125
if any function is called with missing arguments.
* The following functions have been removed from the libopkbuild API:
- ob_match_arch() -- use ob_arch_is_concerned() instead
- ob_match_plat() -- use ob_plat_is_concerned() instead
- ob_parse_package_metadata() -- merged into ob_init_package()
- ob_set_locale_path() -- set OB_LIB_BUILDDIR and/or OB_EXE_BUILDDIR
environment variables to load localized messages from a build
directory
- ob_summarize_package_arch() -- was an unimplemented stub
- ob_summarize_package_plat() -- was an unimplemented stub
- ob_use() -- libopkbuild modules are now "linked" together into one
library file, so this function is no longer needed
* ob_parse_changelog() and ob_parse_control() now pass arguments to
user callbacks instead of setting global variables.
* Option letters have changed for ob_parse_dep(), ob_reduce_deps(),
and ob_get_binary_packages().
* All libopkbuild functions are now documented in manual pages
generated from inline comments.
* Test suite coverage has improved slightly.
Bug fixes and minor changes:
* A bug in the option parsing of ob_parse_dep(), ob_reduce_deps(),
ob_parse_version(), ob_parse_package_metadata(), and
ob_get_binary_packages() that affects GNU Bash and possibly other
shells has been fixed.
* A bug in opkbuild that would ignore errors from the "build"
makefile's "build" target has been fixed.
* ob_set_substvar()'s return value on success has been fixed.
* ob-gencontrol now drops trailing commas and spaces in dependencies.
* ob-installdocs now correctly handles "docs" file lines with
destinations omitted.
* Underscores are no longer allowed in substitution variable names, in
stricter compliance with SPF 2.0.
* Code quality has been improved: eval commands are now safer against
mistakes in input validation/escaping, echo commands have been
replaced with printf and here-documents, errors are handled (making
the shell "-e" option safe), no undefined variables are expanded
(making the shell "-u" option safe), obselescent [ (test) command
options have been replaced, commands are protected from variable
arguments beginning with "-", and printf commands are protected
against variable format strings that might contain "%".
Legal:
* The minimum version of the GNU General Public License has been
bumped to version 3.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta7
----------------------------
Released: 2014-10-25
Changes in this release:
* parse_dep() now correctly parses the "<<" version relation operator.
Previously, a version restriction like "(<< 1.21.1-12)" would be
parsed into a relationship of " <" and version of "<1.21.1-12",
resulting for example in the generation of a few uninstallable
packages on ProteanOS.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta6
----------------------------
Released: 2014-09-23
Changes in this release:
* ob-genchanges and ob-gencontrol now strip newline characters in the
"Maintainer" field.
* An "optstring" file is installed for use by prokit.
* opkbuild's platform option is now -p.
* opkbuild now supports -B and -P options to build only architecture-
dependent and platform-dependent binary packages, respectively.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta5
----------------------------
Released: 2014-05-15
Changes in this release:
* ob-checkbuilddeps now sets substitution variables for use in the
"Build-Depends" field.
* ob-checkbuilddeps now recognizes packages with a status of
"install user installed".
* ob_arch_is_concerned() and ob_plat_is_concerned() now correctly
handle host values of "all" with negated values in package fields.
These functions are also now covered by the test suite.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta4
----------------------------
Released: 2014-05-13
Changes in this release:
* ob_match_plat() now checks for exact platform name matches. This
will be necessary to build the linux-libre source package for the
dev platform without building linux-image and linux-sysmap binary
packages.
* ob-installplatconf now correctly installs configuration files
without a "/" in their specified destinations.
* ob-checkbuilddeps has been implemented. opkbuild now uses its opkg
dependency. Package build dependency checking can be disabled using
opkbuild's "-d" option.
* The default architecture in mksysconf.in is now "amd64-linux-glibc".
* NEWS now contains summaries of changes in each released version.
* Tests data files are now distributed in released tar archives.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta3
----------------------------
Released: 2014-03-07
Changes in this release:
* Make ob-genchanges only list .opk files that are built for the host
architecture and platform.
* Preserve file modification times, owners and groups, and modes in source
packages.
* Find packaging helpers at run time using helper configuration scripts
instead of at build time with configure options. As of version 3.0.0,
opkhelper provides such a helper configuration script.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta2
----------------------------
Released: 2014-01-19
Changes in this release:
* Fix minor issues in opkbuild and ob-applypatches that occur when updating
the "source" targets of some packages.
* Make ob-genchanges perform substitutions in package descriptions.
* Make ob-installdocs support patterns in *.pkg/docs.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-beta1
----------------------------
Released: 2013-09-07
Changes in this release:
* Fix ob-applypatches to work with BusyBox patch.
* Implement ob-genchanges.
* Remove _ob_local() and _ob_return() kludges and use the built-in local
utility instead.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-alpha5
-----------------------------
Released: 2013-06-16
Changes in this release:
* Escape single quotes in substitution variable values.
* Exit on failure to parse package metadata.
* Fix "Bad binary package name" warning when there are no binary package
metadata directories.
* Fix output of changelog parsing errors.
* Set "Host-Arch" and "Host-Plat" substitution variables, which were recently
added to the SPF 2.0 specification.
* Make build system non-recursive and faster.
* Centralize build system logic into the top-level input makefile to make the
build system smaller and more easily maintainable.
* Distribute the "mksysconf.in" input makefile. Previously this was missing
from the tar archives.
* Better handle unrecognized options to configure.
* Fix some issues with fakeroot option handling.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-alpha4
-----------------------------
Released: 2012-11-16
Changes in this release:
* Make ob-unpacksource not consider a lack of sources to be an error.
* Support the use of multiple build helpers.
* Move _ob_dep_arch_is_concerned() and _ob_dep_plat_is_concerned() to the
public API.
* Support negation in binary package "Architecture" fields.
* Optionally reduce platforms in ob_get_binary_packages().
* Make ob-unpacksource work on tar archives without explicit entries for
directories.
* Don't print an error when there's no substvars file.
* Set an "OPK_TOOL_PREFIX" environment variable (needed for packages that use
kbuild).
* Remove code related to the table of upstream build system architectures.
* Replace testsetup.sh with a slightly better "mksysconf" makefile.
* Add some error handling to opkbuild.
* Reduce platforms for OPK_PACKAGES.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-alpha3
-----------------------------
Released: 2012-10-26
Changes in this release:
* Fix the creation of source package documentation directories.
* Fix license information in opkbuild and configure output messages and
testsetup.sh source code.
* Add the build helper directory to the beginning, rather than the end, of
PATH. This should prevent the unintended use of old versions of build
helper utilities.
* Fix and improve ob-installplatconf.
* Reduce binary package relationship fields in ob-gencontrol.
* Support substitution variables in control field values.
* Fix quotes in the "install" target of man/Makefile.in.
* Better support multiple invocations of ob-unpacksource and ob-installdocs.
* Reduce platform specifiers in dependency strings.
* Support comments in control files.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-alpha2
-----------------------------
Released: 2012-10-16
Changes in this release:
* Don't rely on POSIX-conformant parsing of makefile comments.
* Make ob-gencontrol write "Platform" and "Maintainer" fields.
* Fix names of opk files written by ob-buildopk.
* Get an "Uploader", not "Maintainer", field from SPF 2.0 changelogs.
* Make testsetup.sh print informational and error messages.
* Additionally license everything for use under the terms of the GNU GPL
version 2.0.
opkbuild version 3.0.0-alpha1
-----------------------------
Released: 2012-10-11
Changes in this release:
* Split the core distribution build system into its own package.
* Provide a fairly well-designed library, libopkbuild, with an API that is
to be stable and versioned.
* Rewrite build system.
* Internationalize messages.
* Write unit tests for some library functions.
* Support source package formats and distribution metadata through plugins.
* Support SPF 2.0.
* Heavily refactor utilities.
* Set up package build helpers (currently only opkhelper-3.0).
