Changelog
debhelper (7.2.8ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
- dh_installudev: Default priority is now 40 by default, the target
directory is /lib/udev/rules.d, and rules use '-' as separator instead of
'_'. Remove files from /etc/udev/rules.d unless they are user modified;
if modified and of default priority, take care to rename.
This should eventually go to Debian as well, see Debian #491117.
- dh_auto_install: add "--install-layout=deb" to setup.py install calls
(new Python 2.6 policy).
* dh_installxfonts: Drop versioned dependency for xfonts-utils. This
was only necessary for dapper backports, but since dapper desktop goes
EOL in two months, and we haven't done dapper backports in ages, this is
just an unnecessary delta.
debhelper (7.2.8) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_desktop: Now a deprecated no-op, since desktop-file-utils
uses triggers. Closes: #523474
(also Closes: #521960, #407701 as no longer applicable)
* Move dh sequence documentation to PROGRAMMING.
debhelper (7.2.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix calling the same helper for separate packages in the override of dh
binary-indep/binary-arch. Closes: #520567
* Add --remaining-packages option (Modestas Vainius)
Closes: #520615
* Pass -L UTF-8 to po4a to work around bug #520942
* dh_icons: ignore gnome and hicolor themes (will be handled
by triggers). Closes: #521181
debhelper (7.2.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Examples files updated to add dh_bugfiles, remove obsolete
dh_python.
* dh_auto_test: Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. Closes: #519374
debhelper (7.2.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Set MODULEBUILDRC=/dev/null when running perl Build scripts
to avoid ~/.modulebuildrc influencing the build. Closes: #517423
* dh_installmenus: Revert removal of update-menus calls. Closes: #518919
Menu refuses to add unconfigured packages to the menu, and thus
omits packages when triggered, unfortunatly. I hope its behavior will
change.
debhelper (7.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_makeshlibs: Fix --add-udeb, for real. Closes: #518706
debhelper (7.2.3) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmenus: Now that a triggers capable menu and dpkg are in
stable, menu does not need to be explicitly run in maintainer
scripts, except for packages with menu-methods files. (See #473467)
* dh_installdocs: No longer add maintainer script code to call
doc-base, as it supports triggers in stable.
* dh_bugfiles: New program, contributed by Modestas Vainius.
Closes: #326874
* dh: Override LC_ALL, not LANG. re-Closes: #517617
* dh_installchangelogs: Support -X to exclude automatic installation
of specific upstream changelogs. re-Closes: #490937
* Compat level 4 is now deprecated.
* dh_makeshlibs: Re-add --add-udeb support. Closes: #518655
* dh_shlibdeps: Remove --add-udeb switch (was accidentially added here).
debhelper (7.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmodules: Give files in /etc/modprobe.d a .conf
syntax, as required by new module-init-tools.
* dh_installmodules: Add preinst and postinst code to handle
cleanly renaming the modprobe.d files on upgrade.
* Two updates to conffile moving code from wiki:
- Support case where the conffile name is a substring of another
conffile's name.
- Support case where dpkg-query says the file is obsolete.
debhelper (7.2.1) experimental; urgency=low
* Merged debhelper 7.0.52.
debhelper (7.2.0) experimental; urgency=low
* Merged debhelper 7.0.50.
* dh: Fix typo. Closes: #509754
* debhelper.pod: Fix typo. Closes: #510180
* dh_gconf: Support mandatory settings. Closes: #513923
* Improve error messages when child commands fail.
* Depend on dpkg-dev 1.14.19, the first to support Package-Type
fields in dpkg-gencontrol.
* dh_gencontrol: No longer need to generate the udeb filename
when calling dpkg-gencontrol.
* dh_gencontrol: Do not need to tell dpkg-gencontol not to
include the Homepage field in udebs (fixed in dpkg-dev 1.14.17).
debhelper (7.1.1) experimental; urgency=low
* dh_install(1): Order options alphabetically. Closes:# 503896
* Fix some docs that refered to --srcdir rather than --sourcedir.
Closes: #504742
* Add Vcs-Browser field. Closes: #507804
* Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
options.
(Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)
debhelper (7.1.0) experimental; urgency=low
* dh_installchangelogs: Fall back to looking for changelog files ending
with ".txt". Closes: #498460
* dh_gencontrol: Ensure misc:Depends is set in substvars to avoid dpkg
complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
* dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
* Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
Closes: #370823
* Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
that uses them. Affected options are:
-x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
--include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
--restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
--libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
--dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
--dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
--language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
* If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
* To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
option. This will be converted back to an error later.
debhelper (7.0.52) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Fix make parsing to not be broken by locale settings.
Closes: #517617
debhelper (7.0.51) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Man page typos. Closes: #517549, #517550
debhelper (7.0.50) unstable; urgency=low
* This release is designed to be easily backportable to stable,
to support the new style of rules file that I expect many packages will
use.
* dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
(Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.)
* dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
than the old method.
* Remove rules.simple example, there's little need to use explicit targets
with dh anymore.
* dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit
rules (see bug #509756).
