  * Bug fix: "flex FTCBFS: executes host architectue stage1flex during
    build", thanks to Helmut Grohne (Closes: #833146). This reinstates
    Helmut's original fix. There was a question about not using help2man
    in the first place. I considered it; but upstream continues to use
    help2man, including it in autoconf. I think Helmut's fix is elegant,
    and saves work as flex's options change over time, and is a smaller
    delta from upstream.

 -- Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>  Tue, 13 Feb 2018 15:25:11 -0800

flex (2.6.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version. Notable changes
    + a segfalt involving yyrestart(NULL) has been fixed
    + flex should now handle quoting when mixed with m4 processing correctly
    + flex handles `[[' and `]]' correctly
    + flex no longer generates non-ANSI code
    + more compilation warnings were squashed in generated scanners
    + prevented a buffer overflow that could occur when input buffers were
      the exact wrong size
    + several bug fixes resolved problems introduced in recent flex
      versions regarding processing of comments, literals and various
      quoting scenarios.
    +  If the path to m4 was sufficiently long, a buffer overflow could
       occur. This has been resolved. The fix also removes dependence on
       the constant PATH_MAX.
    + Some minor performance enhancements.
    +  We honor user defined yy_* macros again. We are also more careful
       to not leak macro definitions into header files.
    + A number of portability fixes were introduced so building flex is
      more reliable on more platforms. Additionally, outdated function
      calls were removed.
    + When building the flex executable itself, %# comments from
      flex.skl are removed when generating the C source code array. This
      reduces the size of flex.
    + Flex can be cross compiled.
  * Bug fix: "comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions",
    thanks to Frank Heckenbach. This should be fixed now. (Closes: #835542).
  * Bug fix: "Please update homepage in package description", thanks to
    Tim Ruehsen (Closes: #851675).

    thanks to Helmut Grohne. Make the tests use either the installed flex
    or the newly built flex to generate test soureces, depending on
    whether or not we are cross compiling. Also added a build depends flex <cross>
    Hope this works. This has not broken the common case. (Closes: #762180).

    DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS in configure.ac, and use that in
    tests/Makefile.am. Seems to work fine. (Closes: #812659).
  * Bug fix: "runs host arch binaries during build via help2man", thanks

flex (2.6.0-7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bug fix: "C++ style comment in C output", thanks to Tim Rühsen
    So, when we applied the upstream patch, it only fixed the skeleton
    file, flex.skl, and not the generated files skel.c and scan.c;. Added
    a feature branch that fixes the generated files, the need for this
    will go away with the next upstream release. I hope. For what it is
    worth, the diff in upstream seems to be the same one that was in the
    NMU; and I have no explanations for why the -6 would behave diferently
    from the NMU. (Closes: #813256).

flex (2.6.0-5) experimental; urgency=low

  * First cut at correcting multi-arch support. flex is MA: foreign, and
    libfl-dev is MA: same. flex no longer automatically pulls in
    libfl-dev, so at the very least packages using C++ lexers will need to
    pull in libfl-dev in build depends.

flex (2.6.0-4) unstable; urgency=low
  * Bug fix: "C++ style comment in C output", thanks to Tim Rühsen
    There is a fix uploaded to deferred by Salvatore Bonaccorso
    <carnil@debian.org>. I am uploading this fix instead, since this
    variant has the same fix applied by a signed cherry pick from
    upstream, which will make the upgrade to the next version somewhat
    simpler.  (Closes: #813256).
  * Bug fix: "wrongly declares Multi-Arch:foreign", thanks to Helmut
    Grohne. While we discuss the correct solution for this, I have removed
    the MA package tags. I am not quite happy with the proposed solution
    (swapping names of the packages seems icky, but I'll defer to the
    experts if there is no better way)   (Closes: #761449).

flex (2.5.39-8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added a missing build depends on vm-super-minimal, reuired fro
    building the pdf documentation,  (Closes: #752151).
  * Move flex.pdf to the flex-doc package. This makes it possible for the
    flex package's contents to not change if texinfo is not installed,
    e.g. in the stage1 build profile.  Thanks to Peter Pentchev
    <roam@ringlet.net>
  * Move the flex-doc build dependencies to B-D-I. Move the TeX Live
    dependencies to Build-Depends-Indep and only build the HTML and PDF
    documentation if actually requested. This breaks a circular build
    dependency by not requiring texlive for the build of the
    arch-dependent flex binary packages.  (Closes: #749344).

    at the time of release. As newer versions of autoconf come out, and
    these nerw versions support more architectures, porting to them
    becomes harder if the package uses the now obsolete versionsof the
    files. Flex packaging now begins to reate autoconf and automake as

  * [f6cc9ae] Narrow buffer size changes to just IA64
    Increasing the buffer size on other architectures cause problems in
    corner cases not caught by the test suite. So perhaps it is not better
    to increase the buffer size unilatereally for all architectures, but
    to just increase it for the architecture it is required on, namely,
    IA64, and leave it unchanged on other architectures. This solution
    should fix the new grave bugs, while not reopening the original but
    that cause this change to be done in the first place.

flex (2.5.35-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bug fix: "debian dir contains *.so", thanks to Raphael Hertzog
    This is a simple rname of a file used purely in packaging, and has low
    risk, but would allow compiling the flex source package with squeeze's
    packaging tools.                                     (Closes: #485095).
  * [88bb2fc] Fix generation of broken output on ia64 when input is piped in

    On ia64, flex appears to generate a completely different (and broken)
    output depending on whether the input file is specified using shell
    redirection or via a pipe.

    This was traced back commit 3971e1a917548977cff71418a7c3575ffbc9571f,
    by Alex Nixon <alex.nixon@citrix.com>: VFS: increase pseudo-filesystem
    block size to PAGE_SIZE. PAGE_SIZE on ia64 kernels is larger than most
    architectures - 16K is what most distributions (including Debian)
    use. An effect of the above changeset, as verified by strace, is that
    the read() and write() system calls issued by flex on a pipe will use
    this bigger size. fread() appears to be properly hiding the actual
    read size and is returning 8192 byte buffers to flex upon request. I
    verified by this by instrumenting YY_INPUT to compare the fread data
    with the original input file.

    Its probably useful to note that the corruption happening here is that
    the last 382 lines of the input file is being prefixed to the output
    file. The only differences in the remainder of the file are the #line
    numbers. I've also found that bumping YY_READ_BUF_SIZE up to 16384
    seems to workaround the problem - but that may just be putting it back
    into hiding.

    The tradeoff here is between correct operation, by making flex's
    buffer at least as big as the system buffer -- and not bigger, so that
    we do not waste memory. At this point, fixing the isue seems more
    important than worrying that flex consumes and additional 8KB of
    memory.

   This fix unblocks RC bugs on other packages.

    which is 19 _years_ ago, I suspect we can start depending on size_t to

flex (2.5.33-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Starting with version 2.5.33-6 of flex we have started providing
    a static library compiled with position independent code, namely,
    libfl_pic.a.  The problem is with packages that contain share
    libraries with a flex scanner compiled in. Since flex generates code
    that is not self contained, and the missing symbols live in
    libfl.a. However, since linking a shared library with a object
    containing non position independent code stopped working with gcc 4.1
    (apparently, it was sheer luck that it worked at all). So now we also
    provide libfl_pic.a for shared library packages to link with.

    An alternative would have been to provide a full fledged
    shared library, but that would have been a major break with upstream
    and other distributions that also have flex, and would entail
    creating new library and devel packages for flex, which is more work
    that seems justified (considering that we would have to maintain the
    fork, and keep track of any ABI changes, and all that).
