Changes since 1.2.1:

Stephan Sürken (11):
  * [cff655f] ui-auto-uvc[svn]: news: Fix: Don't use fmt option

    on older systems)
  * [51b2f44] .ui-auto.conf: Add alternate mbd target.
  * [4c34c4c] ui-auto-uvc: news, 'filter_nice': Grml: Workaround

    format (was: UTC, possibly localized).
  * [3881971] ui-auto-release: autonews: When release date
    string parsing fails, fall back to file modification date
    (instead of failing).

ui-auto-1.2.1 (stable) (Tue Aug 12 19:47:53 UTC 2014):

Patched stable release.

Mostly polishing some rough edges around autonews.

  * [e413097] ui-auto-uvc[svn]: Improve 'news', getting pretty
    close to what git shortlog does.
  * [47b6c3f] build system: Remove bashism checker (we _use_
    bash nearly for all, and it was not functional anyway...)
  * [94850ac] configure.ac: Prepare 1.2.1.
----------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.2.0 (stable) (Sun Jul 20 10:13:22 UTC 2014):

Initial stable release.

This is a compatible continuation of the 1.1.x "stable by force"
series of releases, and 1.2.x being the new and most likely last
maintenance branch for ui-auto.

Note that "ui-auto 2.0" has been renamed to "con-dev", and new
development/features will go there.

As con-dev is not quite ready yet, 1.2.0 also got some new
features over 1.1.18 to improve things for the most usual
svn/git practices to make life easier in the meantime.

Most importantly, it does now fully (with ui-auto's
non-distributed paradigma though) support git workflows
(Upstream + Debian via gbp), and the automated NEWS via VC is
now actually implemented.

Changes:

Stephan Sürken (22):
  * [0fc3397] ui-auto-release: Add option
    'ui_release_download_loc_append_package', to cope with
    download location as SourceForge's.
  * [7b20ada] ui-auto-uvc: git news: Update to better format.
  * [f994acb] .ui-auto.conf: Fix SourceForge download location
    (via new config option).
  * [7c0e547] ui-auto-release: Actually implememt 'autonews from
    vc', and add an automated release 'type' text
  * [6b79bbd] ui-auto-release: auto changelog: Indicate that the
    file 'ChangeLog' was updated in the commit message.
  * [3920631] .ui-auto.conf: Remove manual_dist flag; this will
    become 1.2.x with the next release.
  * [3997365] .ui-auto.conf: Some comment updates.
  * [ec7774e] ui-auto-uvc: git commit|tag|branch: Always also
    push to origin.
  * [091546a] ui-auto-uvc: git checkout: Create same-name local
    branches for all (other) remote branches
  * [5d7baa7] ui-auto-release: Auto NEWS: Show command for
    editing beforehand and further improvments.
  * [b6528b7] ui-auto-release: notify email subject: use
    '[ui-auto] ' instead of 'ui-auto: '.
  * [a7ea368] ui-auto-release: Snapshot sequence: Also run
    autonews and autochangelog.
  * [abbda28] Add 'deb_git+mbd-1.0' template.
  * [6eeb56e] .ui-auto.conf: Connect to Debian packaging on
    alioth.
  * [bf4ed9e] ui-auto-release: dpkg-bp: Always sign with extra
    tool, and support remote signing.
  * [4501812] Makefile.am: Add .gitignore to dist.
  * [cd8ad0e] ui-auto-uvc: [svn] Add command "news".
  * [a94399f] ui-auto-release: Add workaround to make auto-news
    "sort of work" with svn.
  * [4bea588] ui-auto-release: [Debian] Add extra error handling
    when no appropriate changes is found.
  * [e91e0a3] ui-auto-release: [Debian] Sanity check that we
    actually have checked out a matching package VC
  * [e65c8fc] ui-auto-release: [Debian] Snapshots: Use VC-only
    (aka shorter) Debian revision when upstream already is a
    snapshot.
  * [4a0061e] configure.ac: Prepare 1.2.0.
----------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.1.18 (stable) (Mon May  5 17:15:51 UTC 2014):

The "Dead Cow Revisited" 1.1.x maintenance release.

This release only adds a config template suitable for
mini-buildd 1.0.x archives.
----------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.1.17 (stable) (Wed Nov 27 19:09:47 UTC 2013):

The "Kuhsack" 1.1.x maintenance release.

Stephan Sürken (5):
  * [2f66c1a] .ui-auto.conf: Drop support for etch and lenny.
  * [d35e8dc] src/tools/ui-auto-uvc: Add check_installation for
    "local".

----------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.1.12 (stable) (Wed Dec 22 12:46:37 UTC 2010):

This is now the de-facto intermediate stable for ui-auto 1.0.x
projects, branched at a still compatible point in 2.0
development. Bugfixes will go to 1.1.x branch.

See Changelog for changes since 1.1.9.
----------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.1.9 (unstable) (Thu Jun  4 09:01:44 UTC 2009):

Features/Changes:
   * ui-auto-release:
     - Make dput options configutable per user.
     - Retry with changed options on dput failures.
     - '-S': Now given without separator, and used for Debian
       revision snapshots, too.
     - User interface improvements.
     - Make automatic mode interactively selectable after
       overview page.
     - Make snapshot separator configurable; means you can now
       select your versioning policy:
       '.': Set new version before you release.
       '~': Set new upcoming version _after_ you release.
     - For convenience, start shipping templates for common
       Debian configurations; initial template is "deb_svn+mbd".
   * ui-auto-uvc:
     - Omit '.' separator for vc version string (svn123 rather
       than svn.123).
     - Implement "local/path".

Fixes:
   * ui-auto-uvc:
     - Forgot to migrate vc "local" for new vc loc scheme.
     - Add "local" to list of supported vcs.
     - Make "local" default if no other supported vc is found.
     - "local/checkout": Protect against copying "/." on empty
       given src.
   * ui-auto-release:
     - debian_package: Re-read package version after optional
       manual version changes.
     - debian only mode:
       - Enable stable/unstable switch via -T.
       - Version magic: Honor all (three) possible use cases.
       - "Unreleased" use case: Protect sed to only replace in
         first line.
     - '-f': Protect default name to be search in PATH
       (.ui-auto.conf->./.ui-auto.conf).
----------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.1.8 (unstable) (Wed May 20 09:20:36 UTC 2009):

         === Changes from 1.1.7 ===

Features/Changes:
   * libopt: On error, output failing command line for better
     debugging.
   * autotools/m4: doxygen: On --disable-ui-doxygen, output a
     notification file for each possible target (def html latex
     man rtf xml) instead of just a top level README; this helps
     installers as they can expect the same files/dirs in both
     situations.
   * ui-auto-release:
     - Add "Debian only mode" support to be able to use sequent
       'debian_package' for native Debian packages (or where we
       do not control upstream).
     - Sequent 'debian_package': Re-use top-level sections
       marked as UNRELEASED, and add even more magic around the
       automated changes.
     - Add common ui_commit function; for any commits, this
       - adds affirmation.
       - adds diff view.
       - adds re-edit options.
       - always skips on snapshot mode.
   * ui-auto-uvc: Add command "diff".

         === Proposed 1.0.x->1.2.x NEWS ===

This new main release focuses on support for the "cmake" build
system and major updates to ui-auto-release. The latter includes
support for clean vc strapping before release, more flexible via
"sequence" support, automated Debian release, non-interactive
runs and project config "check+doc+print" support.

Version control: Added support for meta VC "local" and "git"
(experimental).

No changes (1) are needed to update projects using 1.0.x; you
will need to amend your project config if you want to use the
new Debian support, however.

Notes:

(1) If you use autotools, the UI_INIT macro and have "long"
filenames in your project: Note that "tar-ustar
filename-length-max=155" is no longer hardcoded default as
automake option; instead, you now set automake options yourself
using arg 5 of UI_INIT: I recommend just using tar-pax nowadays:
'UI_INIT([src/foo/main.c],,,,[tar-pax])'.
----------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.1.7 (unstable) (Thu Apr  9 09:10:00 UTC 2009):

         === Proposed 1.0.x->1.2.x NEWS ===

and major updates to ui-auto-release. The latter includes support for
clean vc strapping before release, more flexible via "sequence"

just using tar-pax nowadays: 'UI_INIT([src/foo/main.c],,,,[tar-pax])'.

         === Changes from 1.1.6 ===

Features/Changes:
  * Add cmake macro support; macros will be installed to
    /usr/share/ui-auto/cmake. Initial entry is
    FindApache1.3.cmake.
  * ui-auto-uvc:
    - Skip "preprocess" part which was needed for (older) svn
      implementations only; effectively fixes running "svn up"
      unwanted.
    - New command "add".
    - Add path (-P) support.
  * ui-auto-ubs: cmake strap now initially supports the clean
    ("c"|"C") options.
  * ui-auto-release:
    - Sequent bs_strap now also runs clean with strap; this may
      be needed in "local checkout mode" to get clean build env.
    - '-f': Convenience: Enhanced code so you may use checkout
      mode from outside the project and w/o giving "-C svn/URL"
      explicitly using "-f x/project/.ui-auto.conf -c".
    - Better error handling on sequent failure.
    - Add "ui_release_deb_orig_commit" (diversed) config option;
      you may automate Debian orig tarball checkin with that.
    - Sequent "fail-over" in interactive mode.
    - Add new wrapper tool "ui-auto-release-multi" to simplify
      configuration of multiple, automatic runs.
    - Caveat fix: On VC path autodetection (-c), actually
      compute the vcpath from the VC working directory (via
      ui-auto-uvc -P) instead of using configuration from
      .ui-auto.conf (think about releasing a patch release from
      a fresh branch).
    - Sequent status support, and always print sequence results
      on exit.
    - Sequent doc support (i.e., show doc and ask before any
      sequence). New option -I to see doc.
    - Add a non-action mode, option "-n".

Fixes:
  * -ubs and -uvc: checkinstallation: Generalize installation
    checks, and effectively add error message to stderr on
    error.
  * -uvc: svn: dont run "svn up" when getting version. Instead,
    use svnversion and also chake for existence of that tool.
  * Non-snapshot release: Don't open EDITOR for autonews in
    automatic mode.
  * -f: When config file is given on command line, also run
   checks for that file (not .ui-auto.conf).
  * -ubs: distcheck/cmake: Add missing package build.
  * Auto upstream changes: Fix folding/prefix handling;
    recommended line length is now 64 chars.
  * Check/exit on root user later so informational actions like
    -h -p -P are avaiable for root.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.1.6 (unstable) (Wed Mar 11 09:21:49 UTC 2009):

         === Proposed 1.0.x->1.2.x NEWS ===

This new main release focuses on support for the "cmake" build system
and major updates to ui-auto-release. The latter includes support for
clean vc strapping before release, more flexible via "sequence"

just using tar-pax nowadays: 'UI_INIT([src/foo/main.c],,,,[tar-pax])'.

         === Changes from 1.1.5 (unstable) ===

Features/Changes:
  * New tool "ui-auto-ubs" (Universal Build System) analogous to
    *-uvc. This will fully encapsulate the build system so all tools
    will just work for all build systems supported.
    - Obsoleted/removed: "ui-auto-strap". Use "ui-auto-ubs" now.
    - For cmake, 'dist' is no longer done in an extra dir per default
      (does no fit for ui-auto-ubs). Use 'c' or '-C local/`pwd`'
      as replacement.
  * VC: Add experimental support for "git".
  * VC: Add experimental support for meta-vc "local".
  * release: Add check: Build system installation.
  * release: Add upstream changes to Debian changelog (when
    autonews=true).
  * Introduce "sequence" support; may be tainted via -Q option. This
    obsoletes the -O (omit) option and the -U (manual upload) option,
    and offers generic finegrained control over what to do if needed.
  * New -R option: Remove local files (tarball*, deborig*, debbuilds).
  * New -f /-F options: Manually set project and user config file
    locations.
  * -S: This now sets the whole version appendix; means you are able
    to create rc snapshots w/o timestamp version like so
    'ui-auto-release -S ~rc1'.

Fixes:
  * Error handling fix: Default answers change to "N" for: tarball
    overwrite, upload overwrite, continue on upload error, continue
    on notify error, continue on debbuild error, ignore local change
    in checkout mode.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.1.5 (unstable) (Fri Feb 27 15:05:13 UTC 2009):

         *** This unstable release ***

Features/Changes:
  * m4: UI_INIT: Add option to configure automake per project; drop
    default "tar-ustar filename-length-max=155" to none (you may add
    this to your project to get exactly the same behaviour).
  * Add new user pref: 'ui_auto_userpref_tmpdir' for systems where
    /tmp is just not big enough.
  * Add '-K' = keep temporary option; useful for debugging.

Fixes:
  * Update ourselves to use "tar-pax".
  * Ignore GNU extension warnings in src/tools (we want to use them).
  * Fix error output for user=root warning.
  * Fix error handling when no BS found; clean up basic
    "no-project dir" errors.
  * Add error message when dbuild fails.
  * Fix removal of temporary Debian checkout.
  * Fix onExit functions for subshells.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-1.1.4 (unstable) (Tue Feb 17 12:07:03 UTC 2009):

Initial unstable release with (mainly) major updates to
ui-auto-release: vc strap support, debian support, non-interactive
support, config check+doc+print support.

  * src/tools/Makefile.am: Bugfix: Only remove produced manpages, not
    all.
  * ui-auto-uvc:
    - Add new option -V: Create version suitable for snapshots.
    - Internal cleanup to we can better integrate new vcs.
  * ui-auto-release:
    - Support for automatic Debian releases (directly following the
      project's release).
    - Snaphots are no longer produced in an extra procedure; you rather
      taint releasing now for snaphots. Option "-r" hence obsolete and
      removed.
    - Tarballs are now generated in "..".
    - Redo interactive input handling, and add a -A (non-interactive)
      switch.
    - Add support to manually chose distributions (stable/unstable).
      Skip -U (manual tarball upload).
    - VC Bootstrap support (see -c and -C options).
    - Skip meta dist "snapshot"; instead we have stable and unstable snapshots
    - Make Debian package building configurable for stable/unstable + snapshot.
    - Notify/upload: Skip when config not set.
  * Docs:

    - Many updates in ~.ui-auto.conf.
  * Add user preferences in ~/.ui-auto.conf:
    - nosign: Always skip gpg signing.
    - dbuild_options: Always use these buildpackage options.
  * .ui-auto.conf project configuration updates:
    - Put all items and their docs into ui-auto-release. Use
      'ui-auto-release -p' now to get an example conf+docs.
    - Add the notion of default values; again, use
      'ui-auto-release -p' to see them.
    - Re-nice and update our ui-auto's .ui-auto.conf as project example.
    - Add the notion of manadtory config options, and add an automated
      check.

  * Add new utility tool: ui-auto-shell (like ui-auto-env, but runs a new tainted shell).
  * ui-auto-release: Explain arg for -U in usage help.
  * Makefile.am: Depend on automake 1.10 (else , -I for aclocal doesn't not work).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-0.1.106 (unstable) (Thu Jan  3 16:02:11 UTC 2008):

This is the seventh alpha version for ui-auto 0.2 (stable).

This is a fix and cleanup release after initial conversion to ui.

  * ui-auto-sp2ui: Bugfix: Accidentially converted itself when updating
    ourselves to ui; changes reversed, usable again.
  * ui-auto-uvc: For vc "svn", on "tag", try to "mkdir" the directory
    where to put the copy.
    Practically, this means you do not need to create directories
    tags/my-project or branches/my-project manually before using
    ui-auto-release -r.
  * ui-auto-uvc: Enhancement: Reniced error handling, not showing usage
    help on non-usage-failures (e.g., when check_sync fails).
  * ui-auto-release: Add "-N" expert option to extract NEWS snippets.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ui-auto-0.1.105 (unstable) (Wed Dec 19 17:37:22 UTC 2007):

This is the sixth alpha version for sp-auto 0.2 (stable).

Initial ui-auto release, completely replacing former sp-auto.

sp-auto and ui-auto can be used in parallel -- i.e., no one is forced
to update. As there won't be any more sp-auto releases, it is highly
recommended though, and it should be fairly simple using the provided
ui-auto-sp2ui tool.

  * Complete conversion from "sp" to "ui" prefix (programs, macros,
    functions, configuration files, variables, project name).
  * Add tool ui-auto-sp2ui; this can be used to auto-update a former
    sp-auto enabled project to ui-auto.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp-auto-0.1.104 (unstable) (Fri Apr 27 13:35:12 UTC 2007):

This is the fifth alpha version for sp-auto 0.2 (stable).

  * Remove local "svn2cl" tool, which is now included in "subversion-tools".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp-auto-0.1.103 (unstable) (Mon Mar 12 13:31:02 UTC 2007):

This is the fourth alpha version for sp-auto 0.2 (stable).

  * Initial etch based release -- i.e., automake 1.10, autoconf 2.61.
  * sp-auto-env: Some convenience fixes:
    - don't set var if duplicate (fixes cosmetic errors like multiple
      ::: in PATH).
    - ACLOCAL: rm space after -I (might lead to errors).
    - duplicate identification for env var items hardened.
    - Fix: when calling ourselves (with -d), use ${0} to
      make this work in a "strap" situation.
  * doc: README updates.
  * doc: Add a short (yet unfinished) introduction (file INTRODUCTION).
  * sp-libopt.sh: Add sp_opt_set to arbitrarily set options if needed.
  * sp-libopt.sh: Add "imply" feature to easily group options together.
  * sp-auto-update: Add -a (-c -u) and -A (-d -c -u) group options
    for convenience. See "sp-auto-update -h".
  * m4/doxygen: Don't check for doxygen tools if --disable-sp-doxyen
    is given.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp-auto-0.1.102 (unstable) (Tue Nov 21 14:24:43 UTC 2006):

This is the third alpha version for sp-auto 0.2 (stable).

  * sp-auto-uvc: Add "-S" option to arbitrarily set VCS.
  * sp-libopt.sh: Add "sp_opt_givenPos()" function.
  * sp-auto-uvc: Add "checkout" command.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp-auto-0.1.101 (unstable) (Wed Nov  8 10:12:03 UTC 2006):

This is the second alpha version for sp-auto 0.2 (stable).

Bugfix release only.

  * PACKAGE-version and version.h automatic targets: Create
    inst. directories also, if not existent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp-auto-0.1.100 (unstable) (Fri Nov  3 12:29:23 UTC 2006):

This is the first alpha version for sp-auto 0.2 (stable). A lot of
things have changed in both, the tools (for those who use or develop
in sp-auto enabled projects) and the autotools/m4 support (for those
actually maintaining an sp-auto enabled project).

Please see the top level README on how to update from <= 0.1.3 (for
both user groups).

Changes in a nutshell:

  * Tools now all use "getopt" options. Try -h on any tool.
  * All tools have been reworked and many quirks/oddities been removed.
  * All m4 macros have been reworked, so a bunch of redundancies and
    oddities may be removed from projects.
  * Separate support for versioning systems (sp-auto-uvc).

More details (i.e., more as usual) in the ChangeLog; for convenience,
here is the main checkin's changelog (reading the README may suffice
though):

  * Adding initial version of sp-auto-update tool.
  * src/tools: Add sp-libopt.sh (getopts posix shell library). [ removing src/sh, mv sh/sp-opt.sh->tools/sp-libopt.sh ].
  * src/tools: Add optional "non-POSIX" test when checkbashisms (devscripts.deb) is available.
  * src/tools: Many bashisms fixed; sp-auto-release stays "bash" for now.
  * src/tools: Using sp-libopt.sh in all tools. This means usage
    changes for all tools except for default usage. Use "-h" on any
    tool for usage.
  * User visible changes in sp-libopt.sh:
    - Add handing for default values (options and positionals).
    - Remove imho superflous support for per-function options.
  * src/tools: Added sp-auto-uvc tool ("unified" version control commands).
  * src/tools: sp-auto-release: Patched up to use sp-auto-uvc.
  * src/tools: sp-auto-env && sp-auto-update:
    - Removing seemingly confusing magic for id ("." if not arg, else DIR or
      MULTINAME); instead, you must now give an id as configured in
    - New per user config file "~/.sp-auto.conf". This obsoletes all "MULTINAME"
      config files "~/.sp-auto-env.NAME". You can find an example in the README.
    - "sp-auto-env PROJECT" now creates the env for PROJECT (was: its
      dependencies only); using the
    - "-d"-Option on sp-auto-env|update _adds_ all dependencies [the latter two
      changes are imho fixing some non-intuitiveness of the tools]; use "-D" for
      the old behaviour.
    - "sp-auto-update" has added ability to store configure options per
      project(~/.sp-auto.conf) and an option to update project's
      working directories from VCSes. I.e., it's now actually
      usabable, and "sp-auto-update -d -u my_project" can now used
      to actually update "everything".
  * src/m4:
    o sp-doxygen.m4:
      - Change behaviour to be build on std build process, not dist.
      - Use simple stamp file "sp-doxygen" to guard build (was: phony target).
      - This also adds new global vars SP_ALL, SP_CLEAN.
    o sp-lib.m4 rm.
    o Added/new/changed macros: SP_INIT,SP_CHECK (...).
    o Use one file (sp-auto.am) for added automake targets.
    o Principally use a bunch of well defined PHONY targets
      (sp-auto-all sp-auto-clean sp-auto-dist sp-auto-distclean sp-auto-install-data sp-auto-install-exec sp-auto-uninstall)
      to handle sp-auto-automatic Makefile.am adds.
    o Produce PACKAGE-version script automagically (pls rm redundant code in projects).
    o Produce version.h include (for libraries) automagically (pls rm redundant code in projects).
  * Add svn2cl tool from subversion contrib (until it distributed w/ subversion-tools directly).
  * README: Cleanup: any old stuff removed or updated, add "update from 0.1.3" section.
  * New SP_PROG_CXX, ruling out some non-working c++ compilers (currently g++-2.9*).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp-auto-0.1.3 (unstable) (Thu Nov 10 13:43:50 UTC 2005):

  * sp-auto-env: ouput variables only if they have a non-empty value
  * sp-auto-env: added sp_env_m4_macro_paths variable support for
    sp-auto.conf. Use it if your project has m4 macros to export. The
    mechanism behind it also eliminates the need for a manually
    updated file /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist.
  * m4: added macro for apache module autoconf magic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp-auto-0.1.2 (unstable) (Tue Nov  8 09:52:03 UTC 2005):

Intermediate unstable updates/bugfixing release.

  * sp-auto-release: Compat for "grep" w/o max-count option (woody).
  * sp-auto-release: Fix parsing for m4 quotation.
  * sh: Adding initial "sp-opt.sh": Convenience tools around POSIX
    "getopts".
  * Added new "examples" directory.
  * Added new "sh" directory for (POSIX) shell support.
  * m4: Added --disable-sp-doxygen option
  * sp-auto-release: upload: Fixing sigfile location.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp-auto-0.1.1 (unstable) (Fri Jun 17 15:14:14 UTC 2005):

  * m4: Fixing m4 todo "using actual atomake targets like dist-hook,
    etc)"; this just does not work (if you use more that one such
    macro). Using dedicated autoconf vars now (see sp-auto.m4).
    Makefile.am's need to be updated.
  * sp-auto-release: "getnews" facility and hilarious improvements for
    the "autonews" feature.
  * m4: Fixing missing sp-libxslt.m4 from m4 installation, and some smaller
    fixes for sp-doxygen/sp-*cruft.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sp-auto-0.1.0 (unstable) (Mon Jun 13 14:06:03 UTC 2005):

This is the initial sp-auto release. The only available documentation
is currently in the README file.

Status is that it is ready to replace the old setup, with many
improvements. It should mature while being actually used, until the
0.2.x branch should be used by the "public".
