1552 + Apply various improvements to "quoted block" detection

1555 the use of the -a or -f arguments to the "readonly" builtin

1557 and build it, optionally also signing and uploading the result to an
1558 incoming queue (Closes: #479274)
1559 * dcmd: Correctly handle the "debian-installer" section in a .changes
1560 file (Closes: #481691)
1561 * debsign: Use "mv -f" instead of plain "mv" when stripping an existing GPG
1562 signature or updating the file sizes within the changes file before
1563 signing it, as is already done for moving the resulting signed files

1591 + When rebuilding the list of bashisms to check, ensure it is based
1592 on whether the current file is a makefile, rather than whether the
1593 previous file was. Thanks to Raphael Geissert for the brown paper bag.
1594 + Match use of "SHELL=bash" as well as "SHELL=/bin/bash" in makefile mode

1648 dependency and the gnupg recommendation, as the referenced versions are
1649 all satisfied in oldstable and above

1661 be used with a URL (for instance, for an upstream bug tracker)
1664 + Add experimental makefile support (only enabled if -f is used)
1665 + Modify the "2>&foo" check to allow a valid file descriptor followed
1666 by a backslash (for line continuations)
1667 + Check the initial lines of shell script wrappers. Based on a patch from
1669 + Fix a couple of the quoted block detection checks so as not to trigger
1670 on escaped quotes and correctly count quotes within lines containing ''
1672 + Only rebuild the lists of expressions to search for when required,
1673 rather than for each line of each file
1674 + Disable "makefile mode" after checking a makefile if the next file to
1675 check isn't a makefile
1676 + Several enhancements to heredoc detection:
1677 - Heredoc delimiters may contain "non word" characters if the delimiter
1678 is quoted. As a side-effect, delimiters which match one of the bashism
1679 expressions may now be flagged due to the order in which checks are
1681 - SUS specifies that a heredoc ends on a line consisting solely of a
1682 delimiter, so we enforce that and also don't check such lines.
1683 - Delimiters may now contain regular expression meta-characters.
1684 + Match shell script wrappers that don't pass on parameters when execing
1685 (for example for scripts which take all input from STDIN)
1686 + Add a check for process substitution (using "foo <(bar)")
1688 + Allow a changelog with no entries to be created. (Note that
1689 such a changelog will cause a warning from dpkg-parsehchangelog the
1690 next time debchange is used with it) (Closes: #475578)
1691 + Correctly handle control files containing comments when checking
1692 for NMUs (Closes: #475750)
1693 + Fix a side-effect of the automagic NMU detection functionality which
1694 could lead to a spurious stanza being added to the end of the changelog

1696 or if libparse-debcontrol-perl is not installed

1698 distributions (Closes: #476264)

1700 to oldstable have been possible for some time

1718 longer fails in the absence of the package
1720 + Run dpkg-buildpackage directly where possible, rather than emulating it.
1721 Emulation will still be used if any of the clean, dpkg-source, build,
1722 binary, dpkg-genchanges or final-clean hooks are defined, as dpkg
1723 does not currently support them. (Closes: #476100)
1724 + Make it clearer that a particular invocation is using the emulated
1725 dpkg-buildpackage, and why.
1726 + Automatically preserve the (C, CPP, CXX, LD and F)FLAGS variables and
1727 the corresponding *FLAGS_APPEND variables
1728 + Add *FLAGS and *FLAGS_APPEND support to the emulated dpkg-buildpackage

1730 options (with a warning) rather than aborting the build ourselves
1731 * diff2patches: Update to new upstream version.

1735 - Reject .changes files with unsupported Formats and any file with
1736 unsupported Checksums fields

4826 /usr/bin/editor in accordance with policy 5.3 (except that VISUAL is
4827 not mentioned there) (closes: #28605)

4829 correctly, using a Perl script which works in a similar way to
4830 dpkg --compare-versions, and it no longer has the extra 0 bug
4831 (closes: #19235, #19467); it no longer uses ncftp but only ftp
4833 * uscan now expects the watch file to explicitly indicate how to deduce
4834 the version number from the filename, by writing the filename as a
4835 Perl regular expression and enclosing the version number part in (...)
4836 * uupdate now allows a version number as an argument after the archive
4837 filename, allowing it to work in harmony with uscan (closes: #20278)
4838 * uupdate no longer tries to remove *.orig files, as the only ones which
4839 are created by GNU patch are those where the patch failed, and we
4840 probably _want_ to keep those (closes: #25774)
4841 * build rewritten in Perl (now called debuild); has a nicer handling of
4842 command line options (can accept a -r option with one of binary etc.,

4850 * debchange now uses the environment variables DEBFULLNAME and EMAIL as
4851 the uploader's details if these are set
4852 * release has been deprecated in favour of dupload, and now just prints
4853 a message suggesting the use of dupload instead (Closes: #29826,
4855 * The debchange command line options have been changed. debchange no
4856 longer pays attention to the presence of a RELEASED file. The -i
4857 option is for Increasing the Debian release number; the -a option is
4858 for Appending to the current version, and the -v option specifies a
4859 specific version number. One of these is mandatory
4860 * Debchange now adds new changelog entries to the END of the current
4861 section, rather than the beginning
4862 * Improved logic of upgrading the Debian release number in debchange
4863 * Debchange does not supply a release number if there is an explicit
4864 version number provided
4865 * Now debchange works on a version of the changelog in /tmp and only
4866 overwrites the current changelog if everything is OK; this is much
4867 safer than the original version. Also, all system calls have their
4868 return status checked
