debhelper (8.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
[ Carsten Hey ]

[ Joey Hess ]
* Finalized v8 mode, which is the new recommended default.

debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
changes are planned for that mode.
* dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
* dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
* Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
* dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
* debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
(genesis) still uses them.
* dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
* dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
* dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
subdirectories. Closes: #521258
* In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
* In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
may break some packages. Closes: #557603
* In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
(Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
commands. (See #570039)
* In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
Closes: #578805
* postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.
Closes: #586065

debhelper (7.4.20) unstable; urgency=low
* Drop one more call to dpkg-architecture. Closes: #580837
(Raphael Geissert)
* Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,
in a typical package with no explicit architecture mentions
in control file or debhelper config files.
* dh_perl: use debian_abi for XS modules. Closes: #581233
-- Joey Hess <email address hidden> Wed, 12 May 2010 20:06:02 -0400

debhelper (7.4.19) unstable; urgency=low
* Memoize architecture comparisons in samearch, and avoid calling
dpkg-architecture at all for simple comparisons that clearly
do not involve architecture wildcards. Closes:# 579317
-- Joey Hess <email address hidden> Mon, 26 Apr 2010 19:45:07 -0400
-
debhelper (7.4.15) unstable; urgency=low
* The fix for #563557 caused some new trouble involving makefile
that misbehave when stderr is closed. Reopen it to /dev/null
when testing for the existance of a makefile target. Closes: #570443
-- Joey Hess <email address hidden> Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:37:34 -0500

debhelper (7.4.13) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: Avoid compressing images in /usr/share/info. Closes: #567586
* Fix handling of -O with options specified by commands. Closes: #568081
-- Joey Hess <email address hidden> Tue, 02 Feb 2010 12:15:41 -0500

debhelper (7.4.11) unstable; urgency=low
* dh(1): Minor rewording of documentation of override commands.
Closes: #560421
* dh(1): Add an example of using an override target to avoid
dh running several commands. Closes: #560600
* dh_installman: Avoid doubled slashes in path. Closes: #561275
* dh_installxfonts: Use new update-fonts-alias --include and
--exclude options to better handle removal in the case where
xfonts-utils is removed before a font package is purged.
(#543512; thanks, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan)
* dh: Optimise handling of noop overrides, avoiding an unnecessary
call to make to handle them. (Modestas Vainius)
-- Joey Hess <email address hidden> Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:32:34 -0500
-
debhelper (7.4.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Add --parallel option that can be used to enable parallel building
without limiting the max number of parallel jobs. (Modestas Vainius)
* dh_makeshlibs: Temporarily revert fix for #557603, as it caused
dpkg-gensymbols to see libraries not in the regular search path and
broke builds. This will be re-enabled in v8. Closes: #560217

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 (7.3.12) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Allow creation of new sequences (such as to handle a patch

sequence addon interface. See #540124.

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.

* dh_icons: ignore gnome and hicolor themes (will be handled
by triggers). Closes: #521181
