Version: 1.0.0.62-2

Changed-By: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
Closes: 930613 957284
Changes:
steam (1.0.0.62-2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* steam(6): Don't redirect stderr to a log file.
The upstream developers of Steam recently removed its own launch
script's redirection (to /tmp/dumps), which has been noted to
sometimes fill /tmp, and is less useful in practice than it was hoped
to be. They have asked that we remove the similar redirection from
Debian's equivalent script, so that when debugging game launch issues
they can instruct users to run steam from an interactive terminal,
and expect it to produce both stdout and stderr, regardless of
whether their launch script or ours is in use. (Closes: #957284)
* Remove libtxc-dxtn0 alternative dependency.
We now require libgl1-mesa-dri (>= 17.3), which is available in
Debian 10 and up, as well as Debian 9 backports.
* Release to unstable.
Version 1.0.0.62 has been promoted from beta to stable status.
.
steam (1.0.0.62-1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream release (currently considered to be a beta)
- New directory layout
- Update steam binary
- Update steam-devices udev rules from
<https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices/>:
add ZeroPlus P4 (hitbox) hidraw device, 0c12:0ef6
* d/rules: Make .orig directory configurable.
It's canonically "..", but users of git-buildpackage often separate
the directory with git repositories from the directory with large
binaries.
* d/rules: Add support for downloading beta steam-launcher versions.
The 1.0.0.62 launcher release is currently considered to be a beta,
which will be promoted to stable status after it has had more testing.
* d/rules: Cope with the upstream release having an epoch.
Ubuntu's modified version of this package has an epoch as a result of
an older, unrelated package "sTeam" with a higher version number, which
used to be in Debian and Ubuntu many years ago. Valve's steam package
now has an epoch so that their 1:1.0.0.62 will be compared correctly
against Ubuntu's 1:1.0.0.61.
* d/rules: Be more verbose about the extraction process
* d/rules: Keep most upstream files in the orig tarball.
The upstream "source" tarball has been restructured, and in particular
the udev rules (which are MIT-licensed and come from a separate git
repository) are now in subprojects/steam-devices.
bootstrap*.tar.* contains precompiled libraries without their
corresponding source code (it's available from repo.steampowered.com but
not part of the "source" package), which we intentionally don't ship. The
crashhandler module and the steamerrorreporter executable are also
non-essential binaries.
The other scripts and auxiliary files in the orig tarball are
likely to be useful references, even if we don't actually ship them in
binary packages.
* d/copyright.in: Update
* d/steam-devices.install: Update for upstream restructuring
* d/steam.install: Update for new location of steam binary.
I've left it in a subdirectory to reduce confusion with the top-level
./steam in upstream's "source" tarball, which is a symlink to
bin_steam.sh.
* Standards-Version: 4.5.0 (no changes required)
* d/rules: Don't run upstream Makefile
* Build-Depend on the libraries Valve put in their bootstrap tarball.
This ensures that we have all the necessary metadata for dpkg-shlibdeps
to generate the ${shlibs:Depends} for the proprietary steam executable.
* d/scripts/steam: Distinguish between ~/.steam/steam and ~/.steam/root
* Explicitly depend on the libraries that we delete from the Steam Runtime.
We probably shouldn't be deleting these any more, because the Steam
Runtime explicitly prefers newer versions from the host system in all
cases, and if there are bugs in that mechanism that make deleting them
necessary, Valve would like to know about them so they can be fixed -
but for now, preserve historical behaviour.
* d/steam-bug.presubj: Recommend running steam-runtime-system-info.
This diagnostic tool was written for use in upstream bug reports, but
is equally valuable for downstream distributors like us.
* Depend on libgl1 instead of transitional libgl1-mesa-glx
(Closes: #930613)
* Use https for more URLs.
In particular, https://repo.steampowered.com now works, and appears
in upstream documentation.
* d/copyright: Set Upstream-Name to steam-launcher.
The upstream dpkg source package is still named steam for historical
reasons, but it builds steam-launcher_*.deb, and calling it
"steam-launcher" is a good way to disambiguate between the
launcher/bootstrapper (which is what we're actually packaging here)
and the full Steam client (which is downloaded by the launcher, and
is what users normally see).
* Move steam-devices Recommends into sorted order
* Add Depends on file, used by the Steam Runtime setup scripts
* Add Recommends on xdg-utils, which is used to launch URL handlers
* Add Recommends on zenity, which Steam assumes is present
* Add Depends on curl, used to download Steam updates
* d/scripts/steam: Put location and version in environment variables.
Recent Steam diagnostic tools use this to identify how Steam was
launched.
