I've finally uploaded pike 7.8 to unstable (despite the failure to
dump dump.pike). The documentation handling will also have to wait.
The set of meta packages is unchanged.
Changes since 7.8.352-dfsg-1:
* Add trigger for dumping of Pike modules when pike7.8-core or any
module package is installed.
* Remove support for the unversioned local module and include
directories (/usr/local/lib/pike/*) to avoid having to coordinate
their creation and removal by multiple versions.
* Drop apparently obsolete build-dep libgtkhtml2-dev.
* Don't run update-alternatives --remove on upgrade.
* Exclude Tools.PV, which requires GTK (not GTK2).
* debian/rules, unbreak_cross_compilation.dpatch: Use the right gcc and
pass --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) to configure as necessary. Fix
various bugs preventing cross compilation (Closes: #582242). Thanks to
Marc Dirix.
* Exclude modules GDK, Gnome, and GTKSupport, which also are for
GTK+/Gnome 1.2, and update the package description of pike7.8-gtk to
reflect the fact that it provides GTK+ 2.0 bindings.
* Disable --with-relocatable-dumped-modules; it doesn't seem that we
need it and it doesn't seem to work 100% properly.
* no_dump_modules.dpatch (new): Patch install.pike not to dump modules
at build time (thus no need to exclude master.pike.o in debian/rules).
* Move AutoDoc and module-related modules and standalone tools to -dev
and let -dev depend on -image.
* module-layout.dpatch: Move misplaced parenthesis that caused the wrong
local include directory to be added.
* Build-depend on libmysqlclient-dev instead of libmysqlclient15-dev,
which is now a virtual package provided by the former.
* dumping_problems.dpatch (new): Patch from CVS fixing problems encoding
the master object when dumping some modules.
* cflags.dpatch (new): Make pike -x cflags print include_prefix as-is
instead of stripping the last component.
* Drop pike7.8-config; pike -x cflags and pike --dumpversion fills its
functions.
* Some changes in the meta package relationships.
