devscripts 2.16.2ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

devscripts (2.16.2ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Depend on liblwp-protocol-https-perl and libwww-perl for autopkgtests;
      these are also covered by needs-recommends, but an explicit dependency
      forces autopkgtest not to drop them during Perl transitions due to
      pinning only necessary packages from -proposed.
  * test_package_lifecycle: Adjust for Ubuntu: filter out output from
    pkg-create-dbgsym's dh_gencontrol wrapper, pass
    --set-envvar=NO_PKG_MANGLE=1 to debuild, and pass -U to debchange.

devscripts (2.16.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Osamu Aoki ]

    + Always use uscan_warn and uscan_die.

    + Fail if --sendmail is broken.  Closes: #809318

  [ Dominique Dumont ]
  * licensecheck:
    + parse (c) owner with email like <email address hidden>

  [ James McCoy ]
  * debsnap:
    + Only make the destination directory if there is something to download.
      (Closes: #816022)
    + Add --first & --last options to define a range of versions to download.
      Based on a patch by Ivo De Decker.  (Closes: #675867)
  * uscan:
    + Fix typo in dirversionmangle help.  (Closes: #816231)
  * grep-excuses:
    + Report excuses even when autoremoval info isn't reachable.  (Closes:
      #816723)
  * Replace references to debbindiff with diffoscope.  (Closes: #818299)

  [ Andreas Bombe ]
  * mk-build-deps:
    + Typo fix. Closes: #770642

  [ Adam D. Barratt ]

devscripts (2.16.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Antonio Terceiro ]
  * uscan:
    - fix regression in uscan when --destdir is set (Closes: #809662)
      Patch by Alex Mestiashvili <email address hidden>
    - fix crash when --rename is passed  (Closes: #812417)
    - when scanning for directories called 'debian', ignore the ones that
      don't have a file called 'watch'. This removes several annoying warnings
      when uscan is run on a package that has several directories called
      'debian' in its upstream source.
    - fix English phrases when logging download-related actions
  * mk-build-deps:
    - When installing, pass `-o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes` to `apt-get
      install` so that when build dependencies can't be satisfied, you know why.
      Otherwise it would just tell you that the *-build-deps package needs to
      be removed and you will never know why.
  * debian/control:
    - change Vcs-Git: to a https:// URL

  [ James McCoy ]
  * checkbashisms:
    + Recognize dash as a valid shell.
    + Check scripts which use “#!/path/to/env $interpreter”
    + Allow %b as a printf conversion specifier.  Thanks to Mike Frysinger for
      the patch.  (Closes: #804735)
  * debian/tests/control: Add gcc as a dependency for dpkg-architecture.
  * chdist:
    + Symlink, rather than copy, the archive keyrings into the chdist tree so
      they don't get stale.  (Closes: #783497)
  * test_package_lifecycle: Ignore listing of dh_* commands in debuild output.
    The specific commands aren't interesting, so much as the steps that the
    build goes through.  Fixes FTBFS due to new dh_update_autotools_config
    command.  (Closes: #812661)
  * dd-list:
    + Use apt interfaces to find sources files and extract their contents,
      instead of globbing and directly reading files.
  * dcmd:
    + Support .buildinfo files.  Thanks to Johannes Schauer for the patch.
      (Closes: #774554)
  * debsnap:
    + Remove use of JSON module in favor of the core Perl JSON::PP module.
      Thanks to RjY and Jakub Wilk.  (Closes: #803315)
  * dep3changelog:
    + Recognize https URLs for Bug-Debian.  (Closes: #750024)

  [ Christoph Berg ]
  * debcheckout: Add auth mapping for https://github.com.

  [ Osamu Aoki ]
  * uscan:
    + Fix regressions and glitches in the prioritizing mechanism of packages.
      (Closes: #809604)
    + Fix regressions of the verbosety. (Closes: #809541, #809554)
    + Keep the original compressed file when decompressing it for the
      signature verification. (Closes: #812860)
    + Write *.uscan.log only when requested by --log. (Closes: #809806)
    + Fix syntax of GitHub watch file example.  (Closes: #814447)
  * uscan, mk-origtargz:
    + Document Files-Excluded better.  (Closes: #812119)

  [ Dominique Dumont ]
  * licensecheck:
    + detect LGPL license in Perl files handled by Dist::Zilla
