Changelog
debhelper (7.0.2ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low
* Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
- autoscripts/postinst-scrollkeeper: Do not show scrollkeeper-update
output.
- dh_installudev: Use priority 50 by default (instead of z60) and '-'
separator (instead of '_').
- dh_installxfonts: Use versioned dependency for xfonts-utils. This should
be kept until dapper goes out of support, to avoid broken dapper
backports.
* Makefile: Escape '$' in $(shell ) call, so that it is passed correctly to
grep. Forwarded to Debian #478475.
debhelper (7.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Optimise the case where the binary-arch or binary-indep sequence is
run and there are no packages of that type.
* dh_auto_configure: Set PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT when configuring MakeMaker
packages to avoid interactive prompts.
* dh_auto_*: Also support packages using Module::Build.
* dh_auto_*: Fix some calls to setup.py. Now tested and working with
python packages.
* dh_install: Find all possible cases of "changelog" and "changes", rather
than just looking for some predefined common cases.
debhelper (7.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* I lied, one more v7 change slipped in..
* dh_installchangelogs: In v7 mode, if no upstream changelog is specified,
and the package is not native, guess at a few common changelog filenames.
debhelper (7.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: New program that runs a series of debhelper commands in a sequence.
This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
needed.
* dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
* dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
planned but not yet implemented.)
* dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
if the Makefile has such a target.
* dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
* dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
but not yet implemented.)
* New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new
recommended default, especially when using dh.
* dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This
allows dh_install to interoperate with dh_auto_install without needing any
special parameters.
* dh_clean: In v7 mode, read debian/clean and delete all files listed
therein.
* dh_clean: In v7 mode, automatically delete *-stamp files.
* Add a Makefile and simplify this package's own rules file using
all the new toys.
* dh_clean: Don't delete core dumps. (Too DWIM, and "core" is not
necessarily a core dump.) Closes: #477391
* dh_prep: New program, does the same as dh_clean -k (which will be
deprecated later).
debhelper (6.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_icons: Support .xpm format icons. Stop looking for .jpg icons, and
also, for completeness, support .icon files. This matches the set of
extensions supported by gtk-update-icon-cache. Closes: #448094
debhelper (6.0.11) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installman: man --recode transparently uncompresses compressed
pages. So when saving the output back, save it to a non-compressed
filename (and delete the original, compressed file). Closes: #470913
debhelper (6.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_perl: Remove empty directories created by MakeMaker.
debhelper (6.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installman: Don't recode symlinks. Closes: #471196
debhelper (6.0.8) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installman: Convert all man pages in the build directory to utf-8, not
just those installed by the program.
debhelper (6.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_lintian: Finally added this since linda is gone and there's only
lintian to worry about supporting. Closes: #109642, #166320, #206765
(Thanks to Steve M. Robbins for the initial implementation.)
debhelper (6.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: Pass -n to gzip to yeild more reproducible file contents.
The time stamp information need not be contained in the .gz file since the
time stamp is preserved when compressing and decompressing. Closes: #467100
* The order of dependencies generated by debhelper has been completly random
(hash key order), so sort it. Closes: #468959
debhelper (6.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installman: Recode all man pages to utf-8 on installation.
Closes: #462937 (Colin Watson)
* Depend on a new enough version of man-db.
