commit 4a0760a46efbfbecb0c7231932ce71095cd974f5
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date: Sun Aug 20 21:56:54 2023 +0200
Prepare to release firmware-free (20200122-2).
commit cba70bafdd0f52510c7b2b4b98aec838b39fd11c
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date: Sun Aug 20 21:50:29 2023 +0200
d/t/metainfo.xml.in: Fix summary text
The template for binary package control paragraphs doesn't include the
'Binary firmware for ' prefix, and the long description of
firmware-linux-free is made of full sentences. Change this template
to match.
commit 7879011a6919c6e77ebed362991f921a63463375
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date: Sun Aug 20 21:39:49 2023 +0200
linux-free: Delete old text from description that's now formatted wrongly
firmware-linux-free used to have two paragraphs in its long description
before the list of files.
However, since linux version 6.1.1-1~exp1. all lines in a config item
are joined together with newlines converted to spaces. The two
paragraphs are merge into one, with an extraneous '.' in the middle.
However, the text in the second paragraph described a split that
happened over a decade ago, and the installation of required non-free
firmware is now largely automatic. Delete that text entirely.
commit 8dad94e73f3ca5d75f9e4040166ee778c03432fb
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date: Sun Aug 20 19:15:34 2023 +0200
Use debhelper 13
No changes are necessary other than setting the compat level. Do this
with a build-dependency on debhelper-compat instead of specifying it
in both debian/control and debian/compat.
commit a689aa231aaa215a7c02dc3d74798471be7ab894
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date: Sun Aug 20 18:55:33 2023 +0200
d/copyright: Fix ordering of paragraph for my upstream copyrights
lintian warns:
W: firmware-free source: superfluous-file-pattern dsp56k/Makefile [debian/copyright:249]
W: firmware-free source: superfluous-file-pattern dsp56k/concat-bootstrap.pl [debian/copyright:249]
W: firmware-free source: superfluous-file-pattern keyspan_pda/Makefile [debian/copyright:249]
because the *last* matching paragraph wins, and there are wildcard
patterns for these directories later. Move the paragraph listing
the files under my copyright below those with wildcard patterns.
commit ac60b94338e22e8057aa0421668bdc4ee9dbe69f
Merge: cc05918 9811100
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date: Sun Aug 20 17:08:41 2023 +0000
Merge branch 'master' into 'master'
Recommend firmware-ath9k-htc for its seperately-packaged free firmware
See merge request kernel-team/firmware-free!1
commit 9811100be256c79aa7e0e7c16ee4182c9b2228d0
Author: John Scott <jscott@posteo.net>
Date: Sun Dec 13 13:41:48 2020 -0500
Recommend firmware-ath9k-htc for its separately-packaged free firmware
[bwh: Rebased on top of the sync with firmware-nonfree. Put the
recommendation in debian/config/linux-free/defines, now that the
template supports that.]
commit cc05918494e1550475285a0376936b02d6cbfe51
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date: Sun Aug 20 18:36:29 2023 +0200
Update to linux-support 6.4.0-3
commit 6b147553c7e20c7c50d8ff4b0c7b72c9c12e61a7
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date: Sun Aug 20 18:28:39 2023 +0200
d/rules, d/rules.real: Sync with firmware-nonfree
* d/rules: Delete last vestiges of support for per-binary-package
copyright files
* d/rules.real:
- Delete unnecessary inclusion of rules.defs
- Create directories containing symlinks where necessary
- Exclude TODO from installed docs (though we don't have such a file)
- Run dh_lintian (though we don't have any lintian overrides)
commit 28117c81fb6855309e73e0763cfe60bd7312eccb
Author: Diederik de Haas <didi.debian@cknow.org>
Date: Sat Mar 11 19:30:20 2023 +0100
d/README.source: Expand steps to regenerate debian/control
To regenerate the ``debian/control`` file, it needs ``copy-firmware.sh``
which is available in the upstream source, but not the package.
To retrieve that, you need to have the orig.tar archive and run
``debian/rules orig``, so add those steps to the README.source.

commit 9600f606f5aeb0fd60c436a3b41d0b37e3e07f48
Author: Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>
Date: Tue Jan 17 13:28:07 2023 +0000
Work around KeyError during optional variable substitution.
Avoid KeyError during substitutions by renaming @?variable@ into
@variable@, listing each such variable as optional (so that the
placeholder gets replaced with an empty string if that variable is
not set in the config).

commit 7b80bde8d3b4efdaa9a4c539768bb68f23e50eec
Author: Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>
Date: Tue Jan 17 13:23:29 2023 +0000
Rework Template and Templates classes.
- Make Template inherit from _ControlFileDict, and use OrderedDict to
define its fields. Use PackageDescriptionBase directly for the
Description.
- Simplify Templates, only adding a get_templates_control() method to
the base class.

d/bin/gencontrol.py: Make debian/rules.gen reproducible

depend on directory ordering. Sort the items before emitting these
variable definitions.

Update to linux-support 5.19.0-1
Adjust gencontrol.py for the split between SourcePackage and
BinaryPackage classes.
There are warnings for the XS-Autobuild field in the source package
and the Homepage field in the binary package, but those are OK and
should be added to the recognised list in linux-support.
