I just released libretools 20170709.1 (and shortly before it, a
slightly buggier 20170709) to [libre], and pushed the source tarball
to <https://repo.parabola.nu/other/libretools/>.
This is pretty much a bugfix release from 20170705, but also a minor
change, and localization in to Spanish.
Bugfixes from 20170512 to 20170705:
- librechroot:
* The `-n` flag (which selects the chroot to use) was being
ignored; falling back to the configured default in `chroot.conf`.
It was not ignored by `libremakepkg`, which resulted in weird
errors when `libremakepkg` tried to call `librechroot`
internally.
- librerelease:
* Previously, there had been a sequence of `rmdir` commands; some
of which were expected to fail. Because of a change in its error
handling in v20170705, that failing `rmdir` caused it to quit
before it told the server to run `db-update`. This is now fixed.
* Now runs HOOKPOSTRELEASE in the current directory, instead of
`$WORKDIR/staging`.
- librexgettext:
* There were so many problems with it extracting messages for the
messages.sh `flag` command.
* Error messages about incorrect usage are now on stderr instead of
stdout.
Changes from 20170512 to 20170705:
- build system:
* The $(docdir) configuration item now works the same way as it
does for GNU programs. The default is
`/usr/share/doc/libretools/`, and it installs the documentation
there; before the default was `/usr/share/doc/` and it installed
the documentation files to `$(docdir)/libretools/`.
- Localization into different languages:
* The package has mostly been localized in to Spanish. If you have
your locale set to Spanish, you'll start seeing messages from
libretools in Spanish. Thanks, David ("megver83")!
* Translators no longer need to install `ruby-ronn`; they can have
it avoid running those commands by running `make
po/files.generate` -- the po/HACKING instructions have been
updated to reflect this.
