The loong64 wrappers above are needed here too, so the condition guarding them is the glibc version rather than the architecture. - Intercept statx() - Perform linkat() on the translated paths. It linked the paths it was given, so the hard link was made against the real filesystem even with --fstrans=yes - Intercept __open_2(), __openat_2() and their LFS64 spellings, which _FORTIFY_SOURCE substitutes for open() and openat() - Intercept the mkstemp family, which opens its file through an internal call the open() wrapper never sees * Stop backups from destroying symlinked directories such as /lib on merged-/usr systems (Closes: #1107638): - Resolve symlinks in the parent directories of a path before mirroring it into installwatch's backup tree, so restoring that tree over / can no longer replace a symlink with a real directory - Don't back up files on a read-only access() call - Pass --keep-directory-symlink to tar when restoring a backup, as a safety net * Record installed files under their real parent directories, so that a package built from an install writing to e.g. /lib/systemd/system ships /usr/lib/systemd/system and drops the aliased paths * Take option values as given rather than re-evaluating them through the shell. Values holding shell metacharacters, such as --maintainer="Jane Doe <jane@example.org>" and --requires="libc6 (>= 2.28)", now reach the package intact where they used to be dropped without a word (Closes: #785441) * Keep installed files whose path merely contains the name of the build directory. The check that finds them anchors its pattern, the one that dropped them did not, so building in /myapp also excluded /usr/include/myapp from the package (Closes: #1033483) * Fix the ld.so.conf guard in the postinstall script written for --addso=yes. It used "&>", which /bin/sh reads as a background command plus a stray redirection, so the guard never held and the library directory was appended again on every install (Closes: #892985) * Look for the shared libraries under the build directory when --addso=yes is given. checkinstall asked file(1) about their final absolute path, where filesystem translation leaves nothing, so it recognised no libraries and wrote no postinstall script * Drop "install -o root -g root" from the upstream install target. It fails under dpkg 1.22.13 and later, where a package that leaves Rules-Requires-Root unset runs its binary targets without (fake)root Checksums-Sha1: 63d044cf91bd669b4bbb399c050438b810c55575 2208 checkinstall_1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-6.dsc ec61c95eb8a0147114bb85f1f293b8c1c19de218 31388 checkinstall_1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-6.debian.tar.xz 899c93723bf25df46fbd6aea839c687d70c69a0b 6980 checkinstall_1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-6_amd64.buildinfo Checksums-Sha256: f2320afdb59f316d0052255ac95d63849d0e0eef35477aaad84798215b232a8f 2208 checkinstall_1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-6.dsc e20c33f67fc951dbc470abdb75474b119d2b0b11cc5ce5ab842174574f965b8c 31388 checkinstall_1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-6.debian.tar.xz a7ec26582a569932417d44ab0f0e52f6aaf0e318a9d5a41b4c6e45f201c64704 6980 checkinstall_1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-6_amd64.buildinfo Files: 1f9888ed4840024f6054b47e6403ff91 2208 admin optional checkinstall_1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-6.dsc 0dd7a615738d5ee98abf0d1b6a5328a1 31388 admin optional checkinstall_1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-6.debian.tar.xz 5518ab2143351693f8991518067f94d1 6980 admin optional checkinstall_1.6.2+git20170426.d24a630-6_amd64.buildinfo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJGBAEBCgAwFiEEC77u8GTpSr6EMli0dUHPqvw16s8FAmp1CoUSHHNzZ2VsbUBk ZWJpYW4ub3JnAAoJEHVBz6r8NerPQSoQAJrzZrQ2bOeAHAjWV+d6bHxeejE3zk7X BT8ODGkl9b0dv0V1fhJeA4wUgpha7jbS3PEnCwYdsPit+NzhYHbYDQ+eDDvGNjPJ yCpOzdNgExRo9Zrgzx0k3A3w2GVymsEMXEYKqdL7Afts+ODFx7EDoh4dLm956t3f E2HVD93qsiDwaZlStFhHPKzr6lU1RHQeEfThAGpBQSPASSsx9PbJ25gTkesbZB+l xj3LoNMmrm9mR0ik73lgaYhqK+sf3/ioAM1p/+X7bQtNp36DEeEwllpHEcO7Vri3 284qcm0VaVJaZi7/Ix4pPqo8b7dgyZuQHQc4uzc1PxLv+rssF0NO35UYKJ0eugtC lFpDv33D2yqc2m8sUT300DPMb3Z/d1jMeix1cmyYgYcYyiLbRtG20/sPxedo5uDn gLPorLvxkS5bZfnoJWj6C7pJo+oowH3L/oKOw/eSjVj8Tzh9Jbn28Gw/YWAZkbEY 5lHBFUq6wMtvSnJdFwk407KbByQAfDbW9od8N9GYMnLTWbzwXS64+8TSJGvov9qa 6tfX2GIJH0FTZi1hSc1PlvM2xlqqoKCzc+OVD8jmUAcLHsHB5EBtE4ireF/erYM4 aFGDDZ36xI2YHVwXdClgNMm/60L6VR8SYFpqsENuvmRUZsRjn+8+hRURul+7Jv3I SFci2N7T4hPu =bwf8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
