dpkg (1.23.5ubuntu1) resolute; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
- Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings
until the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about override options.
- Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
same time having translated debconf prompts.
- Map unqualified package names of multiarch-same packages to the native
arch instead of throwing an error, so that we don't break on upgrade
when there are unqualified names stored in the dpkg trigger database.
- Apply a workaround from mvo to consider ^rc packages as multiarch,
during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
- dpkg-gencontrol: Fix Package-Type override handling for ddeb support.
- scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Ubuntu.pm, scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: set
'nocheck' in build options by default on Ubuntu/riscv64. Overridable
in debian/rules with
'DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS := $(filter-out nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))'.
- dpkg-dev: Depend on lto-disabled-list.
- dpkg-buildflags: Read package source names from lto-disabled-list,
to build without lto optimizations. When adding a source package to the
list, please also file a launchpad issue and tag it with 'lto'.
- scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Ubuntu.pm: set 'noudeb' build profile by
default. Override this by exporting DEB_BUILD_PROFILE='!noudeb' which
will be stripped, and thus building with udebs.
- build: Switch default dpkg-deb compression from xz to zstd.
Keep compressing dpkg.deb with xz to help bootstrapping on non-Ubuntu
systems.
- set default zstd compression level to 19
- scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Debian.pm: Always include "-fdebug-prefix-map"
to build flags. Map path to "/usr/src/PKGNAME-PKGVER" instead of
".", honouring the DWARF standard which prohibits relative paths
in DW_AT_comp_dir.
- scripts/{mk/buildflags.mk,t.mk}: Add support for DEB_BUILD_DEBUGPATH.
- man/dpkg-buildflags.pod: Document new behaviour of "fdebugmap" and
new DEB_BUILD_DEBUGPATH variable.
- Disable -fstack-clash-protection on armhf since it causes crashes
- dpkg-buildflags: Add a new feature "framepointer" in the "qa" area.
- Turn on the use of frame pointers by default on 64bit architectures.
- Update _FORTIFY_SOURCE documentation.
- Update Dpkg_BuildFlags test case.
- Fix debian/rules duplicate invocations of dh_builddeb
- lib/dpkg/compress.c: clean up override of the default zstd compression
level
- dpkg-buildflags: Explicitly turn off hardening flags when requested.
- Export environment variables DEB_BUILD_OS_RELEASE_ID, DEB_HOST_ARCH,
DEB_SOURCE, and DEB_VERSION when including buildflags.mk (LP: #2070015)
- buildflags: document RUSTFLAGS
- buildflags: Always set RUSTFLAGS
- tests: avoid failing under DEB_VENDOR != Debian
- dpkg-buildflags: enable ELF package note metadata
- buildflags: set origin of env vars for ELF package metadata
- Export ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA for a build. Picked up by GCC and clang.
Passing -specs explicitly can be dropped in a follow-up upload.
- dpkg-buildflags: set RUSTFLAGS to influence the command line flags cargo
will pass to rustc, and set the flags to include framepointers when the
framepointer feature of the qa area is enabled.
- Disable framepointer on ppc64el.
- Disable framepointer on s390x, leaving only -mbackchain.
- Add a note about different behaviour of dpkg-buildflags with respect to
LTO on Ubuntu.
- dpkg-buildpackage: Construct ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA, and set in the
environment if not already set. This setting is picked up by
GCC and clang, passing a --package-metadata option the the linker.
- Stop passing --specs for metadata information. It's too fragile
and only works for GCC. Also introduces a lot of packaging delta.
- Stop defaulting to -O3 on amd64.
- dpkg-dev: Still prefer gnupg and gpgv over sq.
Introduce architecture variants (thanks to mwhudson for the rebase)
- scripts/dpkg-gencentrol.pl: fix operator precedence.
- Copy across the architecture variant (LP #2128606)
- Drop unused elf-package-metadata specs files
- dpkg-buildflags: set --package-metadata directly in LDFLAGS, and still
set ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA in the environment.
- Include architecture variant in ELF package metadata (LP #2131806)

Changes:
dpkg (1.23.5ubuntu1) resolute; urgency=medium
.
* Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
- Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings
until the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about override options.
- Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
same time having translated debconf prompts.
- Map unqualified package names of multiarch-same packages to the native
arch instead of throwing an error, so that we don't break on upgrade
when there are unqualified names stored in the dpkg trigger database.
- Apply a workaround from mvo to consider ^rc packages as multiarch,
during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
- dpkg-gencontrol: Fix Package-Type override handling for ddeb support.
- scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Ubuntu.pm, scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: set
'nocheck' in build options by default on Ubuntu/riscv64. Overridable
in debian/rules with
'DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS := $(filter-out nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))'.
- dpkg-dev: Depend on lto-disabled-list.
- dpkg-buildflags: Read package source names from lto-disabled-list,
to build without lto optimizations. When adding a source package to the
list, please also file a launchpad issue and tag it with 'lto'.
- scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Ubuntu.pm: set 'noudeb' build profile by
default. Override this by exporting DEB_BUILD_PROFILE='!noudeb' which
will be stripped, and thus building with udebs.
- build: Switch default dpkg-deb compression from xz to zstd.
Keep compressing dpkg.deb with xz to help bootstrapping on non-Ubuntu
systems.
- set default zstd compression level to 19
- scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Debian.pm: Always include "-fdebug-prefix-map"
to build flags. Map path to "/usr/src/PKGNAME-PKGVER" instead of
".", honouring the DWARF standard which prohibits relative paths
in DW_AT_comp_dir.
- scripts/{mk/buildflags.mk,t.mk}: Add support for DEB_BUILD_DEBUGPATH.
- man/dpkg-buildflags.pod: Document new behaviour of "fdebugmap" and
new DEB_BUILD_DEBUGPATH variable.
- Disable -fstack-clash-protection on armhf since it causes crashes
- dpkg-buildflags: Add a new feature "framepointer" in the "qa" area.
- Turn on the use of frame pointers by default on 64bit architectures.
- Update _FORTIFY_SOURCE documentation.
- Update Dpkg_BuildFlags test case.
- Fix debian/rules duplicate invocations of dh_builddeb
- lib/dpkg/compress.c: clean up override of the default zstd compression
level
- dpkg-buildflags: Explicitly turn off hardening flags when requested.
- Export environment variables DEB_BUILD_OS_RELEASE_ID, DEB_HOST_ARCH,
DEB_SOURCE, and DEB_VERSION when including buildflags.mk (LP: #2070015)
- buildflags: document RUSTFLAGS
- buildflags: Always set RUSTFLAGS
- tests: avoid failing under DEB_VENDOR != Debian
- dpkg-buildflags: enable ELF package note metadata
- buildflags: set origin of env vars for ELF package metadata
- Export ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA for a build. Picked up by GCC and clang.
Passing -specs explicitly can be dropped in a follow-up upload.
- dpkg-buildflags: set RUSTFLAGS to influence the command line flags cargo
will pass to rustc, and set the flags to include framepointers when the
framepointer feature of the qa area is enabled.
- Disable framepointer on ppc64el.
- Disable framepointer on s390x, leaving only -mbackchain.
- Add a note about different behaviour of dpkg-buildflags with respect to
LTO on Ubuntu.
- dpkg-buildpackage: Construct ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA, and set in the
environment if not already set. This setting is picked up by
GCC and clang, passing a --package-metadata option the the linker.
- Stop passing --specs for metadata information. It's too fragile
and only works for GCC. Also introduces a lot of packaging delta.
- Stop defaulting to -O3 on amd64.
- dpkg-dev: Still prefer gnupg and gpgv over sq.
Introduce architecture variants (thanks to mwhudson for the rebase)
- scripts/dpkg-gencentrol.pl: fix operator precedence.
- Copy across the architecture variant (LP #2128606)
- Drop unused elf-package-metadata specs files
- dpkg-buildflags: set --package-metadata directly in LDFLAGS, and still
set ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA in the environment.
- Include architecture variant in ELF package metadata (LP #2131806)
