 	* Makefile (perl-lib): Updated to new Debian Perl policy
 	(tarball): do not include debian/
 
-lockdev (1.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
-
-  * added management of pseudo device /dev/tty , thanx to Alan Cox.
-  * added unconditional malloc of supplied device argoment.
-  * changed name of the shared lib to end in .so
-  * changed Makefile.PL because the perl manpage disappeared.
-  * Changed symbols in the API as suggested by Daniel Quinlan and
-    Erik Troan. Changed soname accordingly.
-  * Corrected manpages and added LSB proposal (draft 2).
-  * corrected cua device management: use linux/major.h to determine the
-    cua major number; conditioned to __linux__
-  * Changed LICENSE file to hold the LGPL 2.1

-lockdev (0.11.1) unstable; urgency=low
-
-  * NMU for the perl upgrade. Closes: #41522
-  * Corrected the rules files to conform to perl policy 1.0.1.
-  * Compiled with perl-5.005.
-  * Corrected the location of the license.
-  * Upgraded standards-version to 2.5.1

-lockdev (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
-
-  * Avoided repetute locking of the semaphore.
-  * Corrected special case of semaphore misbehaviour (found while
-    crosschecking between two instancies running under gdb).
-  * Added modification on-the-fly of major number of device from 4 to 5
-    in case it was referring to one of the 64 cua devices; it now locks
-    the major+minor numbers of the corresponding ttyS device. The name
-    remains unaffected, as it could be an arbitrary name.
-    (Thanx to Daniel Quinlan <quinlan at transmeta.com>)
-  * Tryed to use fcntl instead of flock, after suggestion of Daniel
-    Quinlan, to permit use on NFS mounted partitions.
-    I wasn't able to make it correctly work, so I conditioned the
-    changes and left the code there, for further (future)
-    investigations. Any help highly appreciated.
-  * changed third file (LCK..<pid>) to have three dots, and made it stay
-    there, as a quick reference. It doesn't hurt, and shouw the pid with
-    a simple ls -l
-  * Added full text of LGPL licence instead of GPL one added in the
-    previous version (oops).

-lockdev (0.10) unstable; urgency=low
-
-  * Added ttylock.h as Compatibility API to AIX. Programs written for
-    that environment can be linked directly to lockdev library.
-    (On AIX the symbols are in libc, so special care should be used)
-  * changed location of manpages to /usr/share/man.
-  * changed the name of the source to lockdev_0.10.tar.gz
-  * changed address of FSF in Copyright file, added the full GPL text as
-    LICENSE (only in the source), corrected name of the mailing list.
-  * changed name of changelog, just to make lintian happier.
-  * corrected name of docs dir for perl package.

-  * Added more tests in postinst of liblockdev0g-dbg, to avoid strange
-    problems encountered by Adam P. Harris (closes: #22565)

-  * cleaned symlinks in docs dirs.
-  * changed libs symlinks from /usr/lib to /lib
-  * stripped main shared library.
-  * Corrected wrong shlibs dependency (thanx to Hamish Moffatt, 
-    closes: #22282).
-  * Changed dependency of -dev from libc6 to libc6-dev, 
-    thanx to James Troup (closes: #16476).
-  * Added -I.. in Makefile.PL to allow compilation of the perl part even
-    when the -dev package isn't installed (thanx to Martin Schulze for
-    the patch) closes: #15834

-liblockdev (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
-
-  * updated manpage (degugging section).
-  * added environment variable to set debug value, and signals 
-    to change those values at runtime (if compiled with -DDEBUG).
-  * avoided symlink to /usr/src changing .stab in asm source 
-    file (overwritten implicit rule to produce asm source).
-    Thanx to Martin Schulze <joey> for the help.
-  * changed dbg package to install shared debug lib in 
-    /usr/lib/debug and profile lib in /usr/lib/profile.
-  * splitted debian/rules in included debian/policy
-  * cleaned Makefile and changed to build debug shared lib.
-    Thanx to Yann Dirson.
-  * added change in umask value to allow full permissions to lock 
-    files.  (this is questionable: would it be better to add a 
-    suid program to check and remove dangling locks?)

-
-  * cleaned Makefile and debian/rules
-  * change in Makefile.PL to allow pristine compilation on new systems
-    (closes: #15834, thanx to Martin Schulze).
-  * added -dbg package with debug and profile libs.
-  * problem with lenght of dev_t in glibc for printf: cast needed :-)
-  * corrected ftp address in copyright file.

-
-liblockdev (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
-
-  * added symlink to dirs in /usr/doc (one dir for all packages),
-     now /usr/doc/liblockdev is a symlink installed by -dev package,
-     as the liblockdev.a and liblockdev.so symlinks.
-     Instead, lblockdev-perl installs a copy of the docs because
-     it doesn't depend on the run-time binary package (as -dev does).
-  * cleaned spreading in the distribution: 
-     source and run-time to section 'libs', development into 'devel',
-     perl module into 'interpreters' (waiting for a perl section).
-  * created extension perl library LockDev:: with manpage LockDev(3pm)
-     and packaged as liblockdev0-perl.
-  * moved symlink so.0 -> so.0.6 to runtime package.
-  * added unlink of semaphore file (not really needed, just to clean up)
-  * corrected error in Synopsis of manpage (oops).
-  * cleaned source code: changed ANSI-C definition of functions to K&R,
-     as recommended in GNU coding style (but not for indentation).
-     Added ANSI-C prototypes for internal functions (exported one 
-     already have them in .h interface file.
-  * cleaned rules file, got rid of unneeded libc5 compatibility.
-  * Moved back include of stdio.h from lockdev.h to .c (closes:Bug#14154)
-     Thanx to Juan Cespedes <cespedes at debian.org>
-  * Corrected debian/rules to have binary-arch rule (closes:Bug#14062)

+1999-12-01  Fabrizio Polacco  <fpolacco at debian.org>

-liblockdev0 (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
+	* added unconditional malloc of supplied device argoment.
 
-  * Changed priority from extra to optional.
-  * cleaned Makefile and added separate static/debug library.
-  * Cleaned include file.
-  * Added global var liblockdev_debug for debugging level
-  * Added 2 functions to set and reset debugging level (only in static lib)
+	* changed name of the shared lib to end in .so

+	* Changed symbols in the API as suggested by Daniel Quinlan and
+	Erik Troan. Changed soname accordingly.
 
-  * avoided stripping of static lib (compiled with -DDEBUG)
-  * added semaphore lock to avoid race condition in
-    removing stale locks (thanx to Barak Pearlmutter)
-  * changed unlink of stale lock to a complex and
-    convoluted way to avoid conflicts between us and another
-    process that doesn't use this library. Still exists the
-    possibility of a conflict between two other processes that
-    don't use this library, but we are safe.
-  * cleaned code in lock_dev()
+	* Corrected manpages and added LSB proposal (draft 2).
