Changelog
debhelper (11.3.2ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04.1) xenial; urgency=medium
* No-change backport to xenial
debhelper (11.3.2ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
debhelper (11.3.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installchangelogs: Fix a second regression that made
dh_installchangelogs ignore upstream changelogs in the
source directories. Thanks to gregor herrmann for
reporting the imcomplete fix. (Closes: #899248)
debhelper (11.3.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installchangelogs: Fix logic error that made
dh_installchangelogs incorrectly ignore explicitly passed
changelogs. Thanks to Sven Joachim and Rene Engelhard
for reporting the bug. (Closes: #899248)
debhelper (11.3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Buildsystem.pm: Fix use of undefined variable in certain
error conditions.
* dh_makeshlibs: Support -VUpstream-Version and -VNone as
alternative to passing -V or omitting -V respectively.
* dh_makeshlibs: Make -VUpstream-Version the default in
compat 12 when -V is omitted. (Closes: #896464)
* dh_makeshlibs: Correct handling of an explicit -V when
a source builds multiple library packages and provides
explicit shlibs files for a subset of them. Previously,
the -V option could have been ignored for some of the
packages containing libraries.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fall back to a regular mv(1) when rename fails
with EXDEV (cross mount point moves). This restores
debhelper's ability to move files between mount points,
which can happen in dh_builddeb has to correct the
extension of a binary package built by dpkg-deb.
Thanks to Evan Krall for the report. (Closes: #897569)
* dh_missing.1: Consistently mention that dh_missing
defaults to --list-missing in compat 12. Thanks to
Robie Basak for spotting the contradicting documentation.
(Closes: #898161)
* dh_compress: Avoid adding a duplicate ".gz" extension on
a symlink if it already has it. This can happen e.g. with
dh_installman recompresses a manpage that was compressed and
had a valid symlink to it. Thanks to Andreas Hasenack for
reporting the bug. (Closes: LP: #1765851)
* debian/control: Depend on dwz for dh_dwz.
* dh_dwz: Generate a per-package multifile by default. This
feature can be disabled by --no-dwz-multifile.
* dh: Run dh_dwz by default in compat 12.
* dh_dwz: Remove warning about the dwz feature being experimental.
* dwz.pm: Ditto.
* dh_installsystemd: Use the basename of the "tmpfiles" config
files. This makes "systemd-tmpfiles --create" search for it
in both /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d and in /etc/tmpfiles.d. With
this change the system administrator can now override the
"tmpfiles" config shipped by the package in
/usr/libtmpfiles.d. Thanks to Nick Groenen and Seyeong Kim
for filing the bug. (Closes: #894510)
* dh_installinit: Ditto.
* dh_installchangelogs: Look for changelog files installed by the
upstream build system in the package build dir (i.e. d/<pkg>/
and *not* debian/tmp!) and use them in preference to the one in the
source package where available. This avoids some cases of duplicated
upstream changelogs. Thanks to Evgeni Golov for the suggestion.
(Closes: #513521)
* dh_md5sums: Stop deleting empty md5sums files as dpkg (now) creates
the empty file on install if absent. Thanks to Rhonda D'Vine for
suggesting the improvement. (Closes: #776853)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Re-organise exports.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Retract "print_and_complex_doit"; the only potential
consumer went with a different code snippet.
* dh_installinitramfs: New tool to install initramfs hook scripts and
handle related maintscripts. Thanks to Evgeni Golov for the
suggestion. (Closes: #491027)
* installinitramfs.pm: New sequence to enable dh_installinitramfs in
compat 11 and earlier.
* dh_installdirs: Add --(no-)create-in-sourcedir option to make
dh_installdirs create directories in the source directory in addition
in the package build directory. Furthermore, dh_installdirs now
accepts --sourcedir to overrule the default source directory (just
like e.g. dh_install). Thanks to Robert Luberda for the suggestion.
(Closes: #816332)
* Buildsystem.pm: Move code from Dh_Buildsystems.pm to Buildsystem.pm
to make the latter independent of the former. This makes it possible
to load Buildsystem.pm without debian/control being present. Thanks
to Andreas Tille for the bug report. (Closes: #897026)
* dh_installinit.1: Fix some incorrect markup in the documentation of
--no-enable.
* makefile.pm: Revert the use of -O/-Oline for make, which helps
debugging what commands time out on the buildds. Thanks to
Adrian Bunk for the report. (Closes: #895196)
* dh_testroot.1: Update R³ documentation to reflect the current
implementation and not the initial draft. Thanks to Jens Reyer
for reporting the inconsistency. (Closes: #899125)
* d/changelog: Retroactively add Closes for LP bug #1766102 in 11.2
release.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Correct control parser to permit zero or more leading
space after the "Section" field (instead of "exactly one" space).
* python_distutils.pm: Deprecate the python-distutils build system
and mark it as removed in compat 12. Users are recommended to
migrate to the third-party build system called "pybuild". This
deprecation implies that python3 (among other) will not be
supported in the python-distutils build system.
(Closes: #568033, #597105, #597342, #769840, #813686, #898347)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Remove warning for using "debhelper-compat"
build-dependency.
[ Dmitry Shachnev ]
* qmake.pm: Use ${DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE}-qmake wrapper for
cross-compilation. (Closes: #895286)
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* cmake: Pass CC/CXX environment variables down during native
compilation as well. (Closes: #897083)
[ Chris Lamb ]
* dh_listpackages.1: Document that packages are listed in the
order that they appear in debian/control.
(Closes: #897949)
[ Peter Pentchev ]
* Dh_Lib: Permit leading and trailing whitespace around the
debhelper-compat dependency when it is the first or the last
relation listed. (Closes: #897937)
[ Jakub Wilk ]
* dh_usrlocal: Fix invalid POD markup.
debhelper (11.2.1ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
debhelper (11.2.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Buildsystem.pm: Correctly pass build directory values to
target buildsystems. Thanks to Helmut Grohne, Adrian Bunk
and Tobias Frost for the reports and debugging.
(Closes: #895174, #895181)
* Buildsystems: Avoid choosing a build system for the clean
step if it is not necessary. Previously, debhelper could
choose a "random" build system that would prefer building
in a separate build directory on the basis that the build
directory should be removed. With this, change we only
choose such a build system if there is a build directory
to remove.
debhelper (11.2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* debhelper.7: Add a ~ to the suggested Build-Depends to ensure
backports also work for debhelper with single integer versions.
Thanks to Trent W. Buck for the suggestion. (Closes: #894666)
* makefile.pm: Use -Oline with make. This avoids make mistaking
a target name for a value for -O and should make build time
outs less likely for "long" targets. (Closes: #894573)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix bug that make debhelper trip on packages with
the version "0". Thanks to Chris Lamb for reporting the bug
plus debugging the issue. (Closes: #894895, LP: #1766102)
* Buildsystem.pm: Rewrite to support build systems that generate
build files for another build system (without using
inheritance). This enables generator build systems to have
multiple backends.
* cmake.pm: Support ninja as alternative backend (by using the
build system cmake+ninja). Thanks to Kyle Edwards for the
suggestion. (Closes: #895044)
* meson.pm: Rewrite as a generator build system with ninja as
the only backend.
* debhelper.7: Recommend packagers to use "debian/<pkg>.<file>"
over "debian/<file>" in most cases. Thanks to Johannes
Schauer for the suggestion.
* dh_usrlocal: Implement a simple guard for directories that
will likely cause issues in the shell snippets.
* dh_usrlocal: Use the new rules from Debian Policy 4.1.4 to
determine the default ownership and mode for directories.
* d/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.1.4. Beyond the
dh_usrlocal change listed above, no changes were required.
[ Nicolas Boulenguez ]
* dh_installxfonts: Fix typo that causes a misc:Depends on
non-existing xfont-utils. (Closes: #894835)
* dh_installwm.1: Document --all. (Closes: #895011)
* dh_usrlocal: Fix bug where the generated prerm script generated
by dh_usrlocal could remove a directory directly in /usr/local.
(Closes: #894549)
[ Mattia Rizzolo ]
* Lower the version restrictions on dpkg and dpkg-dev. They are not
needed anymore, as R³ support is not implied anymore, but requires
an environment variable to be passed.
debhelper (11.1.6ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
debhelper (11.1.6) unstable; urgency=medium
* Dh_Lib: Avoid passing invalid parameters to a function, which
caused tons of "package ARRAY(...) is not in control info"
warnings from dh in some cases. It triggers when dh thinks
the package might have architecture qualified debhelper config
files. The warning is harmless (besides the noise) for all
native builds and most cross builds, but it did invalidate
attempt to make pkgfile() use "DEB_TARGET_ARCH{,_OS}"
(see 11.1.5~alpha1). Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for reporting
the issue. (Closes: #891546)
* dh: Refactor handling of sequences to simplify some code paths.
* autopkgtests: Remove "use-name" tests as it no longer works.
The debhelper module makes assumptions in which directory it is
run from and the test breaks these assumptions.
* debian/control: Comment out versioned dependency on make.
It is not strictly necessary for Debian and causes issues with
make-guile. On the other hand, it is useful for people
backporting debhelper on derivatives and hench leaving it as a
comment. (Closes: #892586)
* debian/control: Bump dependency on dh-autoreconf for the fix for
#889567.
* dh_installinfo: Accept --sourcedir like the documentation says
for compat 11. Prevently the option was incorrectly silently
ignored. Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez for the report and the
patch. (Closes: #894226)
* dh_ucf.1: Apply patch from Nicolas Boulenguez to add missing
documentation of the "--all" and non-option parameters.
(Closes: #894228)
* dh_installxfonts: Apply patch from Nicolas Boulenguez. This
ensures that the generated maintscript snippets are bit-for-bit
reproducible when a package ships xfons in multiple fonts
directories. (Closes: #894227)
* Dh_Lib: Improve the "make_symlink" code to avoid non-compliant
symlinks when the link name was not a normalized path. Note
that ".."-segments are now disallowed in the link name (but not
the link target). Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez for reporting
the bug plus the test cases. (Closes: #894229)
* dh_installinfo: Report installed files to dh_missing. Thanks
to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for reporting this omission.
(Closes: #893160)
* Dh_Lib: Make Dh_Lib loadable again without a debian/control being
present. This makes the autopkgtests work again.
debhelper (11.1.5ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
debhelper (11.1.5) unstable; urgency=medium
* Upload to unstable.
* Add a warning for using the new experimental feature for
requesting the compat level via the Build-Depends field.
debhelper (11.1.5~alpha1) experimental; urgency=medium
* dh_installdocs: Add missing documentation about --sourcedir
in compat 11.
* dh_installdocs: Document that d/tmp is used by default
in compat 11.
* dh_installexamples: Ditto.
* dh_installinfo: Ditto.
* dh_installman: Ditto.
* meson.pm: Apply patch from Jakub Wilk to fix typo in the name
of the "C.UTF-8" locale.
* autoscripts/postinst-systemd-restart: Apply patch from
Christoph Biedl to fix indentation. (Closes: #890373)
* dh_testroot: With the advent of DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT, it
no longer needs to read debian/control to tell whether root
is needed or not. However, the warning remains for calling
dh_testroot outside the source root (as we may need to check
the compat level in a future version of debhelper).
* makefile.pm: Synchronize output from make (via -O) when
make runs in parallel except when STDOUT is a TTY. Thanks
to Goswin von Brederlow for the suggestion. (Closes: #768791)
* dh_gencontrol: Avoid uninitialized value warning when there
are no build-ids (e.g. because the builder disabled the
dbgsym building via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS). This regression
was introduced in 11.1. Thanks to Christian Marillat for
reporting the bug. (Closes: #890736)
* Dh_Lib: pkgfile() now properly uses for DEB_TARGET_ARCH{,_OS}
when the package is set to be built for the target
architecture.
* d/control: Drop dependency on binutils; it does not reflect
our actual requirement and the package or builder will ensure
that the current binutils is installed for other reasons
any way. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the report.
(Closes: #891187)
* Dh_Lib: Add an experimental feature to determine the requested
compat level from the Build-Depends field.
debhelper (11.1.4ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable; remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
debhelper (11.1.4) unstable; urgency=medium
* qmake.pm/qmake4.pm: Avoid global state in the build systems.
* dh_makeshlibs: Fix --no-act, which could still cause writes
to the shlibs file. Thanks to Sven Joachim for reporting it.
(Closes: #888974)
* dh_installdocs: Discard auto-detected main doc package when
passed -A/--all as it causes file-conflicts.
(Closes: #886108, #888294)
* Dh_Lib: Fix regression where "foo{bar}" would not be matched
when the pattern was handled as a glob. The bug was
introduced in debhelper/10.6. Thanks to Wouter Verhelst for
finding the bug. (Closes: #888251)
* d/control: Update the Vcs-* fields to point to
salsa.debian.org as a part of the migration from alioth.
* d/control: Update maintainer address <email address hidden>
as a part of the migration from alioth. Any subscription
to <email address hidden> should be
replaced by a subscription in tracker.debian.org or
salsa.debian.org.
* d/control: Remove Bernhard R. Link from uploaders as he does
not appear to be active in debhelper at the moment. Thanks
to Bernhard for his past contributions.
* d/control: Bump (Build-)Dependency on dpkg to ensure that
dpkg provides DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT and DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD
as a part of its Rules-Requires-Root support.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Rely on DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT instead of the
field to determine whether or not tools may "root-only"
actions (such as chown'ing).
* d/control: Bump dependency on dh-autoreconf to ensure that
packages do not experience #887482.
* makefile.pm: Ensure that command line arguments are passed
deterministically to make when cross-compiling.
debhelper (11.1.3ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable; remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
debhelper (11.1.3) unstable; urgency=medium
* autoscripts/*: Improve rollback handling of many scripts.
Notably a lot of scripts failed to rerun the postinst parts
on an "abort-upgrade". (Closes: #446856)
* debian/control: Add a Breaks on meson to ensure that we have
meson (>= 0.40.0) as the meson build system uses --wrap-mode.
This is mostly relevant for backports.
* Dh_Lib.pm: When printing commands (e.g. for doit), also show
changes to the environment (when done as a part of the
command).
* ninja.pm: Set LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 when calling ninja to avoid
meson choking on UTF-8 characters when it embeds itself into
e.g. the build or install. (Closes: #873831)
* dh: Remove the assumption that sequences will supply only
"safe no-op" parameters to commands. Thanks to Axel Beckert
and Sascha Steinbiss for the report. (Closes: #887727)
debhelper (11.1.2ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian testing; remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
debhelper (11.1.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh: Fix non-sense error about a missing "startpoint object
method".
debhelper (11.1.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh: Fix an off-by-one in a compat check. This fixes an
internal error for compat 9 packages that requires dh to
recurse into the debian/rules file. Thanks to Helmut
Grohne for reporting the bug. (Closes: #886518)
debhelper (11.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Paul Tagliamonte ]
* dh: Provide the DH_EXTRA_ADDONS environment as a method for
e.g. derivatives to enable additional debhelper add-ons.
It is *not* a replacement for the --with parameter (which
package maintainers should still use). (Closes: #570935)
[ Hideki Yamane ]
* Fix typo of unnecessary. (Closes: #884574)
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_missing: Support wildcards in debian/not-installed. Thanks
to Maximiliano Curia for the suggestion. (Closes: #884556)
* dh_missing: Tweak handling of missing source directory and
single binary packages.
* dh_missing: Make --list-missing the default in compat 12.
Thanks to Daniel Leidert and Christian Göttsche for the
suggestions. (Closes: #650129, #858834)
* meson.pm: Set LC_ALL to C.UTF-8 when invoking meson and
debcrossgen (helper tool for cross-building). Thanks to
Jeremy Bicha for the suggestion. (Closes: #873831)
* dh_makeshlibs: Avoid forking a shell per line in the
generated shlibs file.
* dh_makeshlibs: Find all libraries with an unversioned SONAME
field (and not just the unversioned ones containing ".so").
* dh_makeshlibs: In compat 12, stop passing ELF binaries without
a SONAME to dpkg-gensymbols. Thanks to Steve Langasek for the
report. (Closes: #653640)
* dh_compress: In compat 12, stop compressing any thing in
/usr/share/doc/$pkg/examples. Thanks to Piotr Ożarowski for
the suggestion. (Closes: #593382)
* dh_installinit: Support a new --no-enable parameter to setup the
init script with the "defaults-disabled" and add the proper
versioned dependency on "init-system-helpers (>= 1.51)", which is
the first (functional) version with support for
"defaults-disabled". Thanks to Laurent Bigonville for the
report and Evgeni Golov for filing #857452. (Closes: #709384)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Make "exit 1" the default error-handler instead of
"exit $?" as this makes it easier to migrate from sed-based
autoscript substitutions to the new hash-based ones.
* autoscripts/*systemd*: Also use "|| true" in removal scripts for
systemd related tools if we do it in other scripts for the same
command. Thanks to Laurent Bigonville for the report.
(Closes: #761272)
* dh_installinit: Perform the autoscript substitutions without
needing a shell.
* dh_clean: Skip cleaning in the '.pc' and '_darcs' directories.
(Closes: #566861)
* dh_strip: Do not strip debug symbols in ".../debug/.build-id/".
Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for reporting the bug.
(Closes: #886037)
* dh_gencontrol: Deduplicate debug-ids before inserting them into
the control file. Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for reporting the
bug. (Closes: #886038)
* dh: Rewrite sequence handling to ensure that dh does not "inline"
a subtarget of a target it recurses into. Thanks to James
Cowgill for reporting the bug. (Closes: #880840)
* d/control: Add a Breaks against cmake (<< 3.8~) to ensure that
cmake response to the /run change in compat 11. Thanks to
Adrian Bunk for the suggestion. (Closes: #886127)
* Dh_Lib.pm/dh_testroot: Support the DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD environment
that replaces DPKG_GAIN_ROOT_CMD.
* dh_installinit/dh_installsystemd: Re-order snippets so service
handling is always the first to happen in removal scripts and last
to happen on install scripts. This means that configuration file
management and systemd-tmpfiles handling will now always happen
before the service is started on install/upgrade. Thanks to
Дилян Палаузов and Simon McVittie for reporting the bug.
(Closes: #814285, #885998)
- Note that the deprecated dh_systemd_enable and dh_systemd_start
helpers have not been changed. Services handled by these may
still be started before configuration management happens.
* debian/control: Drop some very old versioned constraints that are
no longer important.
* dh_installsystemd: Fix NOOP PROMISE to account for the tmpfiles.d
files.
* debian/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.1.3 - no additional
changes required.
[ Translations ]

debhelper (11ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
debhelper (11) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_installdeb: Do basic validation of rm_conffile and mv_conffile
parameters in "maintscript" parameters in compat 10 and newer.
In compat 12, this is an error. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for
the suggestions. (Closes: #882626)
* dh_strip: Fix bug where the Build-Id field would not be properly
filled when using --dbg-package. Thanks to Paul Wise for finding
and reporting the bug. (Closes: #884152)
* d/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.2 - no changes required.
* dh_installsystemd: Remove neutering of dh_installsystemd in compat
levels prior to 11 now that compat 11 is stable.
[ Chris Leick ]

debhelper (10.10.9) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Dmitry Shachnev ]
* qmake.pm: Add missing import of generated_file.
* meson.pm: Find typo of meson in the name of the cross config
file.
* qmake.pm: Push compiler information as ‘early’ flags to qmake, to
make sure qmake calls the right compiler to get library paths.
* qmake.pm: Add all possible settings to generated qmake-cross.conf.
Now output of ‘qmake -query’ with and without using this file is
identical. This makes cross-building Qt’s own modules possible.
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_missing: Permit a missing debian/tmp without failing in
compat 11 when debian/tmp is an implicit source directory.
Thanks to Christoph Biedl for reporting the bug.
(Closes: #882083)
* dh_missing: Improve the wording about "debian/not-installed".
debhelper (10.10.8ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium
* Merge from current Debian unstable. Remaining changes:

level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
debhelper (10.10.8) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Document that compat 11 is now in its open beta phase.
* Dh_Getopt: Improve warning message when a package is excluded
due to profiles or architecture restrictions.
* dh_install: Properly allow patterns to be excluded without
complaining about missing files. (Closes: #881658)
* qmake.pm: Ensure that the qmake cross-build config file
survives until clean.
[ Dmitry Shachnev ]

symlinked doc directory). (Closes: #865869)
* dh_installman: Fix regression in compat 5 that could make it
ignore one manpage per invocation.
* dh_installdocs: Warn if a pattern in the config file matches
nothing. In compat 11, this becomes a hard error.
* dh_installexamples: Ditto.

* dh_installman: Ditto.
* dh_installexamples: Support missing documentation under the nodoc
profile.

* dh_installwm: Ditto. (Closes: #865707)
* dh_installdocs: Log installed files so dh_missing can see them.
* dh_installexamples: Ditto. (Closes: #863456)
* dh_installinfo: Ditto.
* dh_installdocs: In compat 11, automatically fall back to debian/tmp
if the files are not found in ".". Furthermore, accept the option
--sourcedir with the same meaning as dh_install.
* dh_installexamples: Ditto.
* dh_installinfo: Ditto.
* dh_installman: Ditto.
* dh_installman: Fix bug in how it handled language auto-detection in
compat 11. Previously, it did not work as intended.
* dh_installdocs: Revert change in compat 11, where it would install
documentation into /usr/share/doc/mainpackage. (Reopens: #824221)
* Dh_Lib: Stop setting PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC in compat 11.
* perl_build.pm: Stop passing -I. to perl in compat 11.
* perl_makemaker.pm: Ditto.
debhelper (10.5.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix rounding error when computing how many processes
to use. This rounding error could cause dh-tools to use one more
process than permitted by DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Check return value of open+close when creating a log of
installed files.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Implement subroutines to facility file removal and
symlink creation without a fork+exec.
* Dh_Lib: Avoid a fork+exec for rm -f and ln -s.
* dh_compress: Ditto.

* dh_md5sums: Ditto.
* dh_installdocs: Avoid a fork+exec for ln -s.

stat calls.
* dh_installman: Avoid a fork+exec for renaming a path.
* dh_installdocs: Avoid unnecssary stat call.
* dh_installman: Ditto.
* dh_strip: Ditto.
* dh_shlibdeps: Fix a regression where non-detached debug symbol files
where not properly processed. Thanks to Sven Joachim for reporting
the issue. (Closes: #865982)
* dh_installman: When re-encoding manpages, use the actual manpages as
tasks to split rather than packages. This provides a much better
performance if the manpages are unevenly split between the packages.
* dh_install: Optimize some patterns into bulked "cp" calls. This
optimization is only applicable in some cases (notably, it is always
disabled by --exclude).
* dh_builddeb: Account for dbgsym packages separately when determining
how many tasks can be run in parallel.
* dh_strip: Process packages in parallel.

* Upload to unstable. (Closes: #865363)
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_installman: Remove unncessary "chown" call that made things a
lot slower. Thanks to Kurt Roeckx for reporting it.
* dh_installman: Fix wrong permission of man pages (set 0755 instead
of 0644). Regression introduced in 10.2.2.
* dh_installman: Batch chmod calls to reduce the overhead for
packages with many manpages.
* dh: Undo an unsafe optimisation that caused "-indep" and "-arch"
override targets to be ignored. Thanks to Gianfranco Costamagna
for reporting it and Iain Lane for tracing it to the commit
that introduced the issue. (Closes: #863887)
* dh_clean, dh_prep: Bulk delete most files and directories, which
gives a noticeable speed up for source packages building many
binary packages.
* dh_shlibdeps: Avoid creating debian/<pkg>/DEBIAN directory if it
is not needed.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix typo in error message.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Rewrite install_* to use File::Copy to avoid the
overhead of a fork+exec per file. For simplicity, the verbose
output still claim debhelper uses "install -p -m <mode>" for this.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Replace most of the fork+exec calls to mv for simple
file renames.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Add sub to make common dh_* tools do their thing in
parallel with very little coding effort. This parallel support
accounts for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to set the upper limit.
* dh_fixperms: Run package updates in parallel if DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
permits it.
* dh_installchangelogs: Ditto.
* dh_compress: Ditto.
* dh_installman: Ditto.
* dh_genchanges: Ditto.
* dh_shlibdeps: Ditto.
* dh_md5sums: Ditto.
* dh_builddeb: Rewrite the hand-written parallel code to use the new
simpler way of doing it.
* dh_shlibdeps: Avoid calling file(1) on debug symbols.
* SUPPORT-POLICY: Include new document that describes the current
support policy of debhelper compat levels.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Pass ":unix" layer when using the ":gzip" layer due to
PerlIO-gzip bug RT#114557.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Ignore empty dpkg-architecture variables.
(Closes: #862844)
* dh_installchangelogs: Avoid trying to install a directory by default
as a changelog file. Thanks to Markus Koschany for reporting the
issue. (Closes: #861852)
* dh_installwm.1: Correct documentation to reflect the behaviour in
compat 10. Thanks to Robert Luberda for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #865708)
* dh_installcatalogs: Use explicit await triggers to avoid trigger
a lintian warning.
* dh_installman: In compat 11, attempt to detect the language of the
manpage based on the directory (/man/<LANG>/manX/) before using the
extension. This is more reliably for packages using dh_installman
to install manpages from the temporary install dir.
(Closes: #761024)
* dh_installcatalogs: Check the return code of close when generating
a catalog for sgml-base.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Emulate "install -d" with File::Path to avoid a fork+exec
for creating directories. For simplicity, the verbose output still
claim debhelper uses "install -d" for this.
* dh_auto_install: In compat 11, do noot create package build
directories (except if one of them happens to be the default
"destdir" for dh_auto_install).

* Dh_Lib: Re-add warning + exit 0 for the -i/-a shortcut that was
added in 10.3. (Closes: #863961)

[ Michael Stapelberg ]
* Dh_Getopt: Provide a more detailed error message when there are
no buildable packages caused by architecture restrictions.
(Closes: #858467)
* Dh_Lib: Split package_arch($package) into three distinct functions.
debhelper (10.4ubuntu3) artful; urgency=medium
* Dh_Lib: When passing -a/-i only, and there are no arch/indep packages,
exit. This was accidentally removed when optimising a common case.
(regression introduced by commit 91b064a0baea0ef37937bce56e5b080ac5a52595,
see Debian #863961.)
debhelper (10.4ubuntu2) artful; urgency=medium
* Revert commit 80c955221e83327efb984845f59648678c729978 from upstream. This
causes empty override_...-{arch,indep} targets to skip the command
completely instead of just for the arch or indep build. (See Debian
#863887)
* dh_install: Pass --exclude/-X to dh_missing. (See Debian #863447)
debhelper (10.4ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7. This floods packages with huge upstream changelogs which
are unnecessary on an installed system.
- Restore maintainer ability to override ddeb compression
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Mirror udeb code in dh_builddeb to allow us to alter file extension.
+ Set dbgsym Package-Type to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
+ Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.18.23ubuntu3) so the above works correctly.

[ Niels Thykier ]
* meson.pm: Pass --wrap-mode=nodownload to meson (requires meson
0.40-1 or later).
* dh_install: Fix initialized warning when --sourcedir is absent
on the cmd-line.
* dh_missing: Accept --sourcedir (given it is passed by dh_install).
(Closes: #862049)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix a bug in pkgfile that caused dh to skip helpers
that had configuration files. Thanks to Michael Biebl for finding

* Disable stripping during dh_auto_* in makefile buildsystem in compat 11.
(Closes: #844077)
* Remove explicit "Multi-Arch: no" stanzas as they are auto-rejected.
(Closes: #857028)
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Make getpackages() produce the correct result independently
of the order of the fields in a given paragraph of debian/control.
(Closes: #847138)
* dh_installman: Report installed manpages so the new dh_missing tool
is informed about them.
* dh_install: Deprecate --list-missing/--fail-missing in favor of the
new dh_missing tool. The options will be removed in compat 11.
* dh: Run dh_missing by default (in no op mode).
* dh_prep: Clean up generated files so they work like other temporary
debhelper files.
* dh_installinit: Clarify that it might make sense to skip dh_installinit
for a package if it provides a systemd service but no sysvinit file.
(Closes: #800043)
* dh_installinit: Deprecate --no-restart-on-upgrade in favor of the new
name --no-stop-on-upgrade, which does the same thing but is less
likely to be confused with --no-restart-after-upgrade and is more
descriptive of what it actually does. Thanks to Simon McVittie and
Michael Biebl for the help. (Closes: #837528)
* debian/rules: Only apply the --no-parallel to dh_auto_test. The rest
of debhelper's build appears to work fine with --parallel.
* dh_systemd_enable.1: Clarify that --no-enable does not control
whether a service is started and that dh_systemd_start is the tool
that does that. (Closes: #770281)
* autoconf.pm: Set --runstatedir to "/run" in compat 11. Thanks to
Michael Biebl for the suggestion.
* dh_fixperms: Refactor to reduce the constant overhead a bit and
extract some patterns into data list. The latter hopefully reducing
the need for tweaking dh_fixperms' logic.
* dh_installdocs: Document that --link-doc has limitations on source and
target package plus that compat 10 will reject unsupported
combinations.
* dh_gencontrol: Avoid adding Homepage fields to dbgsym packages. Avoids
non-overridable warnings from lintian when there is an issue in the
homepage field of the original binary. (Closes: #812248)
* dh_strip: Fix a check that could cause dh_strip to generate dbgsym
packages when it should not.
* dh: Stop loading python-support in all compat levels as dh_pysupport
has been removed in stretch.
* python_support.pm: Remove the content with a deprecation warning as
the module can no longer do anything.
* dh_installman.1: Improve the manpage to clarify the scope of
dh_installman and provide an examples. (Closes: LP: #184156)
* makefile.pm: Disable parallel installation if libtool is present to
avoid a race-condition in automake when using libtool.
