Switch debhelper script to use the dh-shell-completions package, providing a mechanism for installing the bash and zsh completion rules at the same time. This is a very new package, pushing these packaging files to requiring Debian 13 or Ubuntu 25.10 to build. Apologies if older operating systems are desired. ([ed09112be50085e9] ought to continue working.) leaf check-in: edc14573c0 user: chungy tags: trunk

Support an .env file to permanently and automatically point to the Fossil sources path, especially useful when the Fossil sources are a checkout of the Fossil repository. check-in: ed09112be5 user: chungy tags: trunk

Add zlib1g-dev to the Build-Depends check-in: 7d8efd15ab user: chungy tags: trunk

Break up the long BUILD_COUNTER line so it’s more readable, especially on 80 cols. check-in: 5685c59a53 user: chungy tags: trunk

Change the versioning to include both the Debian release it's built against and an incrementing build counter. Presumably Ubuntu would gain version signifiers like ~bpo26.04, but I've not tested it.

An incrementing build number at the end allows for multiple builds of the same Fossil version to be made, and upgraded from one to another. check-in: 4f8487b818 user: chungy tags: trunk

03:33
Add Makefile to simplify the process of using these files to build custom packages. check-in: 88e64da319 user: chungy tags: trunk

Add CC0 license for the whole project, add an explanatory README.Debian so users (hopefully) don’t confuse it with the Debian package. check-in: 2ee6c24918 user: chungy tags: trunk
15:58
Replace “Maintainer” information with my own name and an invalid email address. It was set to fossil-dev (with a long-defunct address, too) previously, based on Stephan's script (originating from 2008!). check-in: f935ea29f8 user: chungy tags: trunk
15:21
Add debian/* files that allow for creating Debian packages from the upstream Fossil source code. check-in: 34ef08e505 user: chungy tags: trunk

initial empty check-in check-in: 3f78d9700c user: chungy tags: trunk
