%changelog
* Thu Jul 26 2007 - prusnak@suse.cz
- update to 8.68
* (8.66) use date -R as 822-date will soon be deprecated
* (8.67) correct a bug that caused alien to ignore failing commands

* Wed Jan 03 2007 - prusnak@suse.cz
- update to 8.65
* Fix alien's own spec file, s/Copyright/License/.

setting RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX as part of the converted script.
Closes: #400863

- update to 8.64
* Minor improvement to usage message
* Correct code to properly use RPMBUILDOPT (not RPMBUILDOPTS)
* Look at and chmod the right directories.
* Fix a bug in conffile script extraction from tgz files (caused by
return from runpipe not defaulting to a scalar).

* Thu Aug 07 2003 - mcihar@suse.cz
- updated to 8.34:
* Fixed changelog parsing regexp.
* Updated j2sdk patch.
* Mon Jul 28 2003 - ro@suse.de
- install perl stuff to vendor location
* Tue May 27 2003 - mcihar@suse.cz
- updated to 8.30, changes:
* Added -v to enable verbose mode, which lists each shell command
as it is run. Also added --veryverbose for verbose with command
output too.
* Use -V for version. (-v used to be documented, but never worked)
* alien.spec: pass PREFIX to Makefile.PL so it works on systems
(such as red hat 8) where the generated Makefile does not use
$PREFIX in all paths.
* Support rpms that contain no files. Closes: #184714
* Corrected precidence problem that made alien not catch mkdir of the work
directory failing if the directory already existed (and let it delete the
existing directory). Closes: #181061
* Fixed several other instances of the same precidence problem in the code.
* Use rpmbuild -bb instead of rpm -bb, as it seems that rpm -bb has stopped
working in recent versions of rpm, as shipped by red hat (Debian's rpm,
confusingly, continues to support rpm -bb, possibly because of how I hack
its popt stuff up for debian.) This may fail with older, pre-rpmbuild
rpm's; if so you should upgrade to a more current version I guess.
* Updated js2k patch from Gerald Turner.
* Wed Nov 13 2002 - mcihar@suse.cz
- updated to 8.20, major changes:
* Pach from Erwan MAS <erwan@mas.nom.fr> that allows specification of the
version of a tgz file, for files that don't have a parseable version
number.
* Added support inspired by aj for converted rpm packages that create
users/groups in their preinst, and which alien therefore cannot ship the
files with proper ownerships in the .deb. In this case alien will now
insert appropriate chown commands into the postinst script of the
converted package.
* perl 5.8 fixes.
* Wed Aug 28 2002 - mcihar@suse.cz
