    For more, see https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/wiki/Source:-dir#mapping

    'fpm -s npm -t deb express'

0.4.32 (April 9, 2013)
  - COMPATIBILITY WARNING: rpm: The default epoch is now nothing because this
    aligns more closely with typical rpm packages in the real world. This
    decision was reached in #381. If you need the previous behavior, you
    must now specify '--epoch 1' (#388, patch by Pranay Kanwar)
  - python: new flag --python-obey-requirements-txt which makes a
    requirements.txt file from the python package used for the package
    dependencies instead of the usual setup.py dependencies. The default

  - rpm: dashes are now replaced with underscores in rpm version strings
    (#395, #393, #399;  patches by Jeff Terrace and Richard Guest)
  - python: Only use the first line of a license; some python packages (like
    'requests') embed their full license copy into the license field. For
    the sake of sanity and function with most packaging systems, fpm only
    uses the first line of that license.
  - rpm: Add new 'none' option to --rpm-compression to disable compression
    entirely. (#398, patch by Richard Guest)
  - deb: Make dependencies using the '!=' operator represented as "Breaks"
    in the deb package (previously used "Conflicts"). (#400)
  - deb: Add md5sums to the debian packages which improves correctness
    of the package. (#403, #401; patch by Pranay Kanwar)

  - pear: add flags --pear-bin-dir --pear-php-bin --pear-php-dir (#358, patch
    by Zsolt Takács)
  - New 'source' type: empty. Allows you to create packages without any files
    in them (sometimes called 'meta packages'). Useful when you want to have
    one package be simply dependencies or when you want to spoof a package
    you don't want installed, etc. (#359, 349; patch by Pranay Kanwar)
  - solaris: Add --solaris-user and --solaris-group flags (#342, Patch by Derek
    Olsen)
  - gem: new flag --env-shebang; default true (disable with --no-env-shebang).

    'cp -d' on OSX)

0.4.23 (November 26, 2012)
  - The --directories flag is now recursive when the output package is rpm.
    This makes all directories under a given path as owned by the package
    so they'll be removed when the package is uninstalled (#245, #293, #294,
    patch by Justin Ellison)
  - Add fpm version info to '--help' output (#281)
  - gem to rpm: Use 'rubygem(gemname)' for dependencies (#284, patch by
    Jan Vansteenkiste)
  - Fix a bug in gem version mangling (#292, #291; patch by Pranay Kanwar)
  - Fix compatibility with Python 2.5 (#279, patch by Denis Bilenko)

0.4.22 (November 15, 2012)
  - Add --no-depends flag for creating packages with no dependencies listed
    (#289, patch by Brett Gailey)
  - Fix a bug where blank lines were present in a debian control file.
    (#288, patch by Andrew Bunday)

0.4.21 (November 8, 2012)
  - gem: remove restriction on expected gem names (#287)
  - add --directory flag; lets you mark a directory as being owned by a
    package. (#260, #245, patch by ajf8)
  - deb: don't include a version in the Provides field (#280)
  - gem: if the version is '1.1' make it imply '1.1.0' (#269, patch by 
    Radim Marek)

0.4.20 (October 5, 2012)
  - python: only specify --install-{scripts,lib,data} flags to setup.py if
    they were given on the command line to fpm. Fixes #273.

0.4.19 (September 26, 2012)
  - Escape '%' characters in file names (#266, #222. Patch by John Wittkoski)

0.4.18 (September 25, 2012)
  - Fix regression in rpm building where the epoch in was missing in the rpm,
    but prior fpm versions defaulted it to 1. This caused rpms built with newer
    fpms to appear "older" than older rpms. Tests added to ensure this regression
    is caught prior to future releases! (Reported by eliklein)

0.4.17 (September 12, 2012)
  - Remove accidental JSON warning when using '-s python'

0.4.16 (September 6, 2012)
  - Fix compatibility with Ruby 1.8.7 (broken in 0.4.15)

0.4.15 (September 6, 2012)
  - pear: support custom channels with --pear-channel <channel> (#207)
    Example: fpm -s pear -t deb --pear-channel pear.drush.org drush
  - permit literal '\n' in --description, fpm will replace with a newline
    character. Example: fpm --description "line one\nline two" (#251)
  - improve error messaging when trying to output a package to a directory that
    doesn't exist (#244)
  - deb: convert '>' and '<' dependency operators to the correct '>>' and '<<'
    debian version operators (#250, patch by Thomas Meson).
  - deb: add --deb-priority flag (#232) for setting the debian 'priority'
    value for your package.
  - add --template-value. Used to expose arbitrary values to script templates.
    If you do --template-value hello=world, in your template you can do
    <%= hello %> to get 'world' to show up in your maintainer scripts.
  - python: add --python-install-data flag to set the --install-data option to
    setup.py (#255, patch by Thomas Meson)
  - Reject bad dependency flags (ones containing commas) and offer alternative.
    (#257)
  - Try to copy a file if hardlinking fails with permission problems (#253, 
    patch by Jacek Lach)
  - Make --exclude, if a directory, include itself and any children, recursive.
    (#248)

0.4.14 (August 24, 2012)
  - rpm: Replace newlines with space in any license setting. (#252)

0.4.13 (August 14, 2012)
  - Make --exclude accept path prefixes as well. If you have a files in
    'usr/share/man' in your package, you can now exclude all of a subdir
    by doing '--exclude usr/share/man'

0.4.12 (August 10, 2012)
  - Fix a major bug introduced in 0.4.11 that caused all deb packages to
    contain empty maintainer scripts if not otherwise specified, which made
    apt/dpkg quite unhappy

0.4.11 (August 7, 2012)
  - Fix some symlink handling to prevent links from being followed during
    cleanup (#228, patch by sbuss)
  - rpm: 'vendor' in rpm spec is now omitted if empty or nil. This fixes a bug
    where rpmbuild fails due to empty 'Vendor' tag if you convert rpm to rpm.
  - internal: remove empty directories marked by --exclude (#205, patch by
    jimbrowne)
  - dir: don't try to set utime on symlinks (#234, #240, patch by ctgswallow)
  - rpm: relocatable rpms now supported when using the '--prefix' flag.
    Example: fpm -s dir -t rpm --prefix /usr/local -n example /etc/motd 
    (patch by jkoppe)
  - deb: --deb-compression flag: Support different compression methods. 
    Default continues to be gzip.
  - new flag: --template-scripts. This lets you write script templates for
    --after-install, etc. Templates are ERB, so you can do things like 
    '<%= name %>' to get the package name in the script, etc.
  - warn on command invocations that appear to have stray flags to try and
    help users who have complex command lines that are failling.

0.4.10 (May 25, 2012)
  - Fix python package support for python3 (#212, patch by Slezhuk Evgeniy)
  - Preserve file metadata (time, owner, etc) when copying with the dir
    package. (#217, patch by Marshall T. Vandegrift)
  - Missing executables will now error more readably in fpm.
  - Fix gem and python 'version' selection (#215, #204)
  - Dependencies using '!=' will now map to 'Conflicts' in deb packages. (#221,
    patch by Sven Fischer)
  - Allow setting default user/group for files in rpm packages (#208, patch by
    Jason Rogers). Note: This adds --user and --group flags to effect this.
    These flags may go away in the future, but if they do, they will be
  - In python packages set 'install-data' correctly. (#223, patch by Jamie
    Scheinblum)

0.4.9 (April 25, 2012)
  - Fix --prefix support when building gems (#213, patch by Jan Vansteenkiste)

0.4.8 (April 25, 2012)
  - RPM: use 'noreplace' option for config files (#194, patch by Steve Lum)

    de Kerkhof)
  - Gem->RPM: Make 'provides' "rubygem(thegemname)" instead of "rubygem-thegemname"

    /usr, etc.
  - make --deb-custom-control to work again (Tor Arne Vestbø)
  - Add --rpm-digest flag to allow selection of the rpm 'file name' digest
    algorithm. Default is 'md5' since it works on the most rpm systems.
  - Reimplement old behavior assuming "." as the input when using '-s dir' and
    also setting -C (#187)
  - Set BuildRoot on rpm to work around an rpmbuild bug(?) on CentOS 5 (#191)
  - Add --rpm-compression flag to allow selection of the rpm payload
    compression. Default is 'gzip' since it works on the most rpm systems
  - Specs now pass on ubuntu/32bit systems (found by travis-ci.org's test runner)
  - Improve default values of iteration and epoch (#190)
  - Make FPM::Package#files list only 'leaf' nodes (files, empty directories,
    symlinks, etc).

0.4.3 (March 21, 2012)
  - Fix bug in python packaging when invoked with a relative path to a setup.py
    (Reported by Thomas Meson, https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/pull/180)

0.4.2 (March 21, 2012)
  - Set default temporary directory to /tmp 
    (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/174)
  - Improve symlink handling (patch by Aleix Conchillo Flaqué, pull/177))
  - Python package support changes (thanks to input by Luke Macken):
    * New flag: --python-install-bin. Sets the location for python package
      scripts (default: /usr/bin)
    * New flag: --python-install-lib. Sets the location for the python
      package to install libs to, default varies by system. Usually something
      like /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages.
    * Fix up --prefix support
    * Improve staged package installation

0.4.1 (March 19, 2012)
  - Fix fpm so it works in ruby 1.8 again.
    Tests run, and passing:
      rvm 1.8.7,1.9.2,1.9.3 do bundle exec rspec

0.4.0 (March 18, 2012)
  - Complete rewrite of pretty much everything.
    * Otherwise, the 'fpm' command functionality should be the same
    * Please let me know if something broke!
  - Now has an API (see examples/api directory)
  - Also has a proper test suite
  - Updated the rpm spec generator to disable all the ways I've found rpmbuild
    to molest packages. This means that fpm-generated rpms will no longer
    strip libraries, move files around, randomly mutate jar files, etc.
  - Add --license and --vendor settings (via Pieter Loubser)
  - python support: try to name python packages sanely. Some pypi packages
    are literally called 'python-foo' so make sure we generate packages named
    'python-foo' and not 'python-python-foo' (via Thomas Meson)
  - rpm support: Add --rpm-rpmbuild-define for passing a --define flag to rpmbuild
    (via Naresh V)
  - PHP pear source support (fpm -s pear ...) (via Andrew Gaffney)

0.3.10 (Oct 10, 2011)
  - Allow taking a list of files/inputs on stdin with '-' or with the --inputs
    flag. (Matt Patterson)
  - (python) pass -U to easy_install (Khalid Goudeaux)
  - (debian) quote paths in md5sum calls (Matt Patterson)
  - (debian) quiet stderr from dpkg --print-architecture

0.3.9 (Sep 8, 2011)
  - Fix bug in 'dir' source that breaks full paths
  - Added a bunch of tests (yaay)

0.3.8 and earlier: I have not kept this file up to date very well... Sorry :(

0.2.29 (May 20, 2011)
  - Add 'tar' source support. Useful for binary releases to repackage as rpms
    and debs. Example:
      fpm -s tar -t rpm -n firefox -v 4.0.1 \
        --prefix /opt/firefox/4.0.1 firefox-4.0.1.tar.bz2

0.2.28 (May 18, 2011)
  - Use --replaces as "Obsoletes" in rpms.

0.2.27 (May 18, 2011)
  - If present, DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME environment variables will be used as
    the default maintainer. Previously the default was simply <$user@$hostname>
    https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/37
  - Add '--replaces' flag for specifying packages replaced by the one you are
    building. This only functions in .deb packages now until I find a suitable
    synonym in RPM.
  - Add --python-bin and --python-easyinstall flags. This lets you choose specific
    python and easy_install tools to use when building. Default is simply
    'python' and 'easy_install' respectively.
  - Add support for ~/.fpmrc - The format of this file is the same as the flags.
    One flag per line. https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/38
    Example:
      --python-bin=/usr/bin/python2.7
      --python-easyinstall=/usr/bin/easy_install2.7

0.2.26 and earlier
  No changelist tracked. My bad, yo.
