debhelper (7.4.3) unstable; urgency=low
[ Valery Perrin ]
* update french translation. Closes: #494300, #477703
* add --previous at po4a command into Makefile
* add dh, dh_auto_install, dh_auto_clean, dh_auto_configure,
dh_auto_install, dh_auto_test, dh_bugfiles, dh_icons, dh_installifupdown,
dh_installudev, dh_lintian, dh_prep into po4a.cfg manpages list
* fix a spelling mistake in dh_makeshlibs man french
translation (#494300 part 2)
[ Joey Hess ]
* dh_perl: Do not look at perl scripts under /usr/share/doc.
Closes: #546683
* Allow dpkg-architecture to print errors to stderr. Closes: #548636
* python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force
to setup.py install to ensure that timestamps do not prevent installation
of the scripts built for the default python, with unversioned shebang
lines. Closes: #547510 (Thanks, Andrew Straw)
debhelper (7.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Man page typo. Closes: #545443
* dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
(It was only run once due to logging.)
* dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
* Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
* dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev
is installed for the first package. Closes: #546337
debhelper (7.4.1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Steve Langasek ]
* dh_installinit: Support upstart job files, and provide compatibility
symlinks in /etc/init.d for sysv-rc implementations. Closes: #536035.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Add FILES sections to man pages. Closes: #545041
* dh_prep(1): Clarify when it should be called. Closes: #544969
debhelper (7.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
flag with arch all/any packages.
* The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
situation. Closes: #540794
debhelper (7.3.16) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_desktop: Clarify in man page why it's a no-op.
Closes: #543364
* dh_installdocs: Loosen the Document field parsing, to accept
everything doc-base *really* accepts in a doc id (not just what
it's documented to accept). Closes: #543499
* Allow sequence addons to pass options to debhelper commands,
by adding add_command_options and remove_command_options to the interface.
Closes: #543392
(Modestas Vainius)
* dh_auto_install: Add a --destdir parameter that can be used to override
the default. Closes: #538201
