emdebian-tools (0.7.3) unstable; urgency=low

  emlocale has been removed from emdebian-tools.

  emlocale has been replaced by em_installtdeb which operates without
  $pkg-locale-$lang files and emdebian-$pkg-locale patch files and without
  changes to debian/control. em_installtdeb runs at the end of the build (acting
  as a second build if the first completes successfully) and the results of the
  em_installtdeb run are checked with the same emdebuild build checks as before.
  This provides a second .changes file, a second .dsc file and a stripped down
  .tdeb.tar.gz tarball containing (hopefully) enough files for translators to
  prepare independent tdeb uploads. Emdebian has support for the necessary
  'locale' repository and the tdeb .changes file must NOT be uploaded to the
  normal Emdebian target repository, neither should tdeb files be uploaded to
  Debian at this time. See em_installtdeb (1).

  This change also means that debian/control patches will disappear for some
  packages, allowing smoother updates.

  Also, gccross support from dpkg-cross is now optional. Most packages will
  build successfully without it. Packages that build and link against internal
  libraries will need to use 'X-Build-Cross-Libtool: yes' in debian/xcontrol.
  See emdebuild (1).
