** Description changed:
Please sync p7zip 15.09+dfsg-4 (universe) from Debian testing (main)
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- The version currently is xenial, 9.20.1, is 5 years old (released in 2011).
- It is very beneficial for the users to have this newer version in the LTS. It
has many improvements and fixes.
+ Rationale:
+ ===========
+
+ * The version currently in xenial, 9.20.1, is 5 years old (released in
+ 2011). It is very beneficial for the users to have this newer version in
+ the LTS. It has many improvements and fixes.
+
+ * The new version builds successfully on ppc64el, whereas the version in
+ xenial-proposed does not.
+
+ * The package comes from Debian testing, which means that:
+ - It compiles and up to date on all architectures it has previously been
compiled for in unstable;
+ - It does not have release-critical bugs;
+ - All of its dependencies must either be satisfiable by packages already in
testing, which is what the LTS is derived from;
+ - Installing the package does not break any packages currently in testing
+
+ * The Debian maintainer closed some launchpad bugs, which means that they
also looks after Ubuntu bugs.

p7zip (15.09+dfsg-3) experimental; urgency=low
- * Refactor and enhance the p7zip wrapper script:
- + update the p7zip script to the version from the contrib directory;
- + make it call either 7za or 7zr command, whichever one is available;
- + remove `if [ "$?" != 0 ]' statements, as they won't work with `set -e';
- + use the standard error for reporting;
- + implement the --stdout, --force, --keep options (closes: #656340,
- LP: #220646, #259239)
- + update p7zip(1) man page to shortly describe new options and give more
- details about the script's behavior.

- + remove most of 01-makefile.patch, especially remove the parts related
- to multiarch libwgtk2.8-dev, which is no longer used by this package;
- + fix grammar error (closes: #706005) and update location of html

- + drop 04-no-strip-by-default.patch; patch empty OPTFLAGS in debian/rules
- instead;
- + replace CVE-2015-1038.patch with Fedora's version taken from their
- p7zip-15.09-10.fc24.src.rpm package;

- of assembler sources enabled, so add build dependency on yasm on those
- architectures.
- * Use DEP-5 format for debian/copyright, and add Files-Excluded header
- into it.
- * Update debian/watch to allow uscan to repack upstream tarballs.
- * Provide README.source with reasons of repacking (closes: #705595).
