+perl-5.005 (5.005.03-4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Many changes to make Perl build on Hurd from Marcus Brinkman, closes:
+    Bug#31621.
+    - Update debian/README to partially reflect the current situation; no
+      need to type root password; the problem with locales was fixed long ago.
+    - Update debian/copyright to talk about Debian rather than Debian/GNU;
+      There are now many O'Reilly books on Perl.  Don't mention a number.
+    - Convince debian/make.base and debian/make.versions to use
+      $cpu-$system rather than $arch.
+    - Use linux and gnu as acceptable systems in debian/make.base
+    - Don't try to mkdir with '/' on the end of the name in debian/make.base
+    - Skip packages we don't build in debian/make.versions
+    - Change all maintainer scripts to use =cpu=-=system= rather than
+      =arch=
+    - Many changes to debian/rules to allow for conditional testing (not
+      on arm, hurd) and conditional building of threads (not on hurd,
+      5.004)
+      I think this is the last thing (other than debian/control) that is
+      different between the builds.  I'll parameterize debian/control on
+      the next build and we'll be happy.
+  * Change the paths in debian/rules and debian/perl-policy.MK to be FHS
+    compliant.
+  * Make the postinsts/prerms install/remove the compatibility symlink for
+    the move from FSSTD to FHS.
+  * Fix debian/make.versions to be FHS compliant as well.
+  * Use -fPIC in the cccdlflags so that Perl compiles with -fPIC everwhere
+    instead of -fpic in some places.  This now complies with policy and
+    closes: Bug#41587, #43930.
+  * Have make test actually use make test-notty so as to not die on
+    automated compiles.  Closes: Bug#33225.
+  * Use unlink instead of system("rm -f ...") in debian/make.base.  I seem
+    to've gotten carried away using cp -a a while back and used system
+    instead of unlink. Brain needs to be on...
+  * Change the mention of the location of the GPL and Artistic copyright
+    files in debian/copyright from /usr/doc/copyright to
+    /usr/share/common-licenses.
+  * Fix Getopt::Long so that the documentation of the require_order
+    configuration option is now correct closes: Bug#39180.
+  * Embedding works now.  It's probably as Tom Rothamel
+    <tom-pine-1@onegeek.org> said; Perl just needed to be recompiled with
+    glibc2.1.  Closes: Bug#38615.
+  * In gv.c, Fix for 'use Safe;' with -w segfaults from Sarathy installed.
+    Closes: Bug#38533.
+  * In handy.h, only #define HAS_BOOL due to _G_HAVE_BOOL if we're using
+    g++.  _G_HAVE_BOOL is defined in _G_config.h.  This will probably be
+    included in a gcc program since stdio.h includes libio.h which
+    includes _G_config.h.  Thanks to Greg Stark <gsstark@mit.edu>.  This
+    can be closed once it is tested.
+  * Namespace was cleaned up a while ago, closes: bug#33844.
+  * Complaining locales was fixed a while ago, closes: bug#30207.
+  * Perl has been compiled with glibc for a while, closes: bug#29452.
+  * rename has been included, closes: bug#26616.
+  * cperl-mode is installed in the right place now, closes: bug#24249.
+  * Specify man1dir in Configure so that it goes to the FHS compliant
+    place.
+  * Fix the paths for $(LIBDIR)/ExtUtils/inst $(LIBDIR)/ExtUtils/xsubpp
+    $(LIBDIR)/File/DosGlob.pm to make lintian happy.
+  * Make $(LIBDIR)/ExtUtils/inst $(LIBDIR)/ExtUtils/xsubpp executable to
+    make lintian happy.
+  * Remove $(LIBDIR)/CGI/Fast.pm since we don't include FCGI.pm.  This
+    satisfies lintian and closes: bug#44544.
+  * Applied patch from Jim Pick <jimpick@jimpick.com> that adds the
+    appropriate arch-specific *.ph files in debian/.ph/asm-arm.  This
+    would close bug#44605 but it's requiring some *.ph files he doesn't
+    supply.  Mail sent off to him about this.  Got
+    .ph/arm-arch/proc/shmparam.ph from him.  Closes: bug#44605.
+  * Add Porting/patchls to /usr/bin, fix its path.
+  * install-doc should show be used in both remove && upgrade for prerm.
+    Add stuff to debian/doc.postinst to deal with this problem.
+  * Added re.pm and friends to perl-5.\d+-base.  This closes: bug#45552.
+  * Removed the large number of extra POSIX autoloader modules.  The
+    locale stuff that's part of POSIX don't need these.
+  * I've already moved to /usr/share/man in this package and so, this
+    closes: bug#45678.

+    Somehow a static version of postinst crept into the dist such that it

+
+  * Compile the perl library with -D_REENTRANT for LinuxThreads.  It's
+    still dangerous and there are problems with MULTIPLICITY (which this
+    isn't compiled with) as well.
+  * Sent the output of the various rmdir -p's in postinst to /dev/null so
+    that people don't see old gunk.
+  * Included target to add a comment to the changelog so that an automatic
+    package from untarring this in a new perl subversion works with the
+    correct version.

+  * Changed perl, perl-suid, and perl-debug to section interpreters.
+    Changed perl-base to section base.
+  * Changed rules to determine the perl version dynamically so that it
+    doesn't have to be editted for each new version.
+  * Rebuld and upload so that perl will just pre-depend on libc5.4 rather
+    than libc5.4.17-1.  This and -5 were destined for stable and 5.4.17-1
+    isn't available for that.

+    subsumed into the main perl distribution.
+  * Applied patch from Nick to make use FileHandle; work transparently
+    although is should be use IO::Handle (or other appropriate IO::)
+  * Applied patch from Randy so that use sigtrap doesn't complain anymore.
+  * Applied patch from Paul that changes use strict tie; into a warning.
+  * Changed perl back to a static libperl
+  * Developed and packaged a perl-base to go on the base-floppies.

+perl (5.003.07-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * added code to postinst/prerm that only creates the empty
+    /usr/local/lib/site_perl directory if /usr/local/lib is writable by
+    root (fixes Bug #5003)
+  * Updated to dpkg standards version 2.1.1.0  (fixes Bugs #3874, 4709)
+  * Pre-generated all the *.ph files that people will probably need.  The
+    correct asm directory will have a symbolic link set during postinst.
+    (fixes Bugs #4493, 4739, 1856, 3770, 3277, 3803, 3814, 1099, 3784,
+     1201, 1170, 3908, 2405, 4717, 2184, 1411, 2440)
+    I wonder if this is a record for the most number of bugs fixed by a
+    change.
+  * Changed debian.rules to generate a shared libperl for the main
+    executable with a static suidperl and debugperl.  This should help
+    Fast-CGI, nvi, and if folks are using the compiler.
+  * Edited the copyright file to reflect current reality rather than
+    bygone days (fixes Bug #2589)
+  * Added Pre-depends: ldso to control file in case the user upgrades ldso
+    at the same time they upgrade Perl. (fixes Bug #2589)
+  * Made sure that all files in the examples directory
+    (/usr/doc/perl/examples) were readable (fixes Bug #3995, 4615, 4734,
+    4870)
+  * Added symbolic link /usr/doc/perl/examples to point to the examples
+    directory. (fixes Bug #3997)  (this is obsoleted by new standards)

+	* Had Configure undef CSH so that we don't need to depend on csh

+	  remove the tcsh once c-shell is provided by it.
+	* Changed the suidperl from being a question in the postinst to
+	  being it's own package.
+	* Added perld (debugging perl) as a package.  Both of these are
+	  dependent on the specific version of perl.  We'll see if this
+	  causes a problem in upgrading.
+	* Changed mail address in postinst to debian-bugs@pixar.com.  I've
+	  got to do something about perlconfig
+
+Perl 5.002 Debian 8 Wed Apr 17 02:48:46 1996  Darren Stalder  <torin@daft.com>
+

+	* Removed the a.out generation from debian.rules since I'm not
+	  making a.out packages anymore
+	* Changed pod/Makefile from PERL = perl to PERL = ../miniperl so

+	* Had to cruft up the Configure script so that it does an nm on

+Perl 5.002 Debian 2 Mon Nov 27 02:34:59 1995  Darren Stalder  <torin@daft.com>
+
+	* Removed find lines in debian.rules binary install since

+	* Changed Configure so that it actually listens when you tell it
+	  what extensions to use for for man1 and man3.
+	* Changed references to /usr/local and perl5.000 in the man pages
+	* Changed references in scripts from /usr/local to /usr
+	* Setup config.over file to fix-up config.sh to install into
+	  debian-tmp/usr/* instead of trying to do it in sh.  The shared
+	  libs weren't going in the right place.
+	* Generated absolute path in config.over since the install runs
+	  from many different subdirectoris
+
+Perl 5.002 Debian 1 Wed Nov 22 20:42:34 1995  Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>

+	  specific *.ph directories

+	  necessary without recompiling perl.
+	* SDBM problem went away with patchlevel 2.
+
+Perl 5.002 Debian 1 Sat Nov 18 00:16:15 1995  Darren Stalder  <torin@daft.com>
+
+	* I (Darren Stalder) took over as maintainer of Perl.
+	* Put quotes around $Config{archlibexp} in h2ph.PL to prevent -w
+	  warnings.
+	* Changed the various debian files to reflect the new status.
+	* Changed the debian.rules to use elf as the primary development
+	  platform with a.out being secondary.
+	* Having problems with SDBM.
+
+Perl 5.001 Debian 7 (5.001n) - ??-??-95 Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
+* UNRELEASED
+* Longer Description field in control file.
+* Changed Maintainer field to myself. This package should still be considered
+  orphaned though.
+* a.out version now does dynamic loading via libdld.
+
+Perl 5.001 Debian 6 (5.001n) - 04-11-95 Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
+* Updated to 5.001n: big patch, small problems remain.
+* debian.rules now passes definitions to Configure, instead of running
+  Configure with a modified hints/linux.sh.
+* Use a variable in debian.rules to test the binary format.
+* With ELF, DB_File support is disabled (rather ad hoc).
+* Use softlinks for suidperl and perl<version>.
+* Added explicit Depends: elf-libc, which was implicit (via elf-libgdbm).
+
+Perl 5.001 Debian 5 (5.001m) - 16-10-95 Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
+* ELF version has GDBM support; depends on elf-libgdbm
+* Diff now relative to Andy Dougherty's patches (these are unofficial, but
+  de facto standard).
+
+Perl 5.001 Debian 4 - 13-10-95 Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
+* Interim release, since perl appears to be orphaned.
+* Updated to 5.001m.
+
+Perl 5.001 Debian 3 - 5/9/95 Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>
+* Fixed Bug#219.  h2ph was making output which didn't work.
+* put magic in the postinst to fix it.  This opens the can
+* of worms whereby I fix all of h2ph's messups.  Ugh.
+
+Perl 5.001 Debian 2 - 5/8/95 Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>
+* Added dialog.pl interface to dialog for Jim Robinson
+
+Perl 5.001 Debian 1 - 3/1/95 Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>

+* Added black magic to figure out if a kernel tree was installed
+* Yelled a lot if one wasn't
+* added unofficial patches a-e from perl5-porters
+* added 'perlconfig' script to generate all possible header files
+  (Just a copy of postinst, really)
+* perl now passes all of the tests.
+
+Perl 5.000 Debian 5 - 3/1/95 Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>
+* fixed bug in h2ph handling on subdirectories
+* merged all of the unofficial patches from the perl5-porters mailing list.
+
+Perl 5.000 Debian 4 - 3/1/95 Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>
+* h2ph now makes all useful headers.
+
+Perl 5.000 Debian 3 - 2/28/95 Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>
+* called h2ph to make the handy perl headers.
+* Put the example code and emacs modes in /usr/doc
+
+Perl 5.000 Debian 2 - 2/27/95 Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>
+* generally fixed it up so it was useful for debian.
+
+Perl 5.000 Debian 1 - Robert Sanders <Robert.Sanders@linux.org>
+* Initial release.
