Changelog
debhelper (10.2.2ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1) trusty; urgency=medium
* No-change backport to trusty
debhelper (10.2.2ubuntu1) zesty; 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.
- dh_strip: Revert commit f1a803456 to disable ddebs generation by
default. This first needs adjustments in Launchpad and ddebs.u.c., and
dropping pkg-create-dbgsym.
debhelper (10.2.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix typo in changelog entry for release 10.2. Thanks to
Peter Pentchev for reporting it.
* Deprecate all compat levels lower than 9.
* dh: Discard override log files before running the override
rather than after.
* dh_compress,dh_fixperms: Remove references to long
obsolete directories such as usr/info, usr/man and
usr/X11*/man.
* autoreconf.pm: Apply patch from Helmut Grohne to fix
autoconf/cross regression from #836988. The autoreconf
build-system is now also used directly for "clean" and
"build" (while still usin the "make" build-system for the
heavy lifting). (Closes: #839681)
* dh_installdirs: In compat 11, avoid creating debian/<pkg>
directories except when required to do so. This fixes a
corner case, where an arch:all build would behave
differently than an arch:all+arch:any when dh_installdir is
optimised out only for the arch:all build.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix typo of positive. Thanks to Matthias Klose
for spotting it.
debhelper (10.2.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* d/rules: Add a ./run in front of dh_auto_install. It is
technically not needed, but it prevents lintian from assuming
that we need to Build-Depend debhelper.
debhelper (10.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Apply patch from Peter Pentchev to fix some typos.
* Apply patch from Michael Biebl to undo a major
regression where all of debhelpers functionality was
missing (introduced in 10.1). (Closes: #839557)
* dh_installinit,dh_systemd_start: Introduce a new
--no-stop-on-upgrade as an alternative to
--no-restart-on-upgrade. This new option should
reduce the confusion of what it does. Thanks to
Michael Biebl for the suggestion.
debhelper (10.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Apply patch from Michael Biebl to take over dh-systemd
package to ease backporting to jessie-backports.
(Closes: #837585)
* Apply patch from Helmut Grohne and Julian Andres Klode
to improve cross-building support in the cmake build
system. (Closes: #833789)
* Make the makefile.pm buildsystem (but not subclasses thereof)
pass the CC and CXX variables set to the host compilers when
cross-building. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the idea and
the initial patch. (Closes: #836988)
* dh_md5sums.1: Mention dpkg --verify as a consumer of the
output file. Thanks to Guillem Jover for reporting it.
* debhelper-obsolete-compat.pod: Add a manpage for the
upgrade checklist for all obsolete/removed compat levels.
Thanks to Jakub Wilk for the suggestion.
* Dh_Getopt,dh_*: Rename --onlyscripts to --only-scripts and
--noscripts to --no-scripts for consistency with other
options. The old variants are accepted for compatibility.
Thanks to Raphaël Hertzog for the suggestion.
(Closes: #838446)
* cmake.pm: If cmake fails, also dump CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log
and CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log if they are present. Thanks to
Michael Banck for the suggestion. (Closes: #839389)
* d/copyright: Correct copyright and license of dh_systemd*
tools.
debhelper (10ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

level 7. This floods packages with huge upstream changelogs which
are unnecessary on an installed system.
- dh_strip: Revert commit f1a803456 to disable ddebs generation by
default. This first needs adjustments in Launchpad and ddebs.u.c., and
dropping pkg-create-dbgsym.
debhelper (10) unstable; urgency=medium

[ Axel Beckert ]
* Apply patch by Jens Reyer to fix typo in dh_installdocs man page.

* dh_install: Clarify that "debian/not-installed" is not
related to the --exclude parameter.

which fail to build with . removed from @INC.
(Closes: #832436)

and gradle buildsystems (provided they are installed).
Thanks to Emmanuel Bourg for the suggestion.
(Closes: #801732)
debhelper (9.20160709ubuntu1) yakkety; 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
take precious CD space.
- dh_strip: Revert commit f1a803456 to disable ddebs generation by
default. This first needs adjustments in Launchpad and ddebs.u.c., and
dropping pkg-create-dbgsym.
debhelper (9.20160709) unstable; urgency=medium
* Explicitly Build-Depends on perl:any for pod2man instead
of relying on it implicitly via libdpkg-perl.
* dh_shlibdeps: Clarify that -L is also useful for packages
using debian/shlibs.local for private libraries.
* dh_installdocs: Apply patch from Sven Joachim to fix a
regression with --link-doc and installing extra
documentation. (Closes: #830309)

(Closes: #822670)
* dh: Enable the systemd helpers by default in compat 10 and
later.
debhelper (9.20160702) unstable; urgency=medium
* Start on compat 11.
* dh_installmenu: Stop installing menu files in compat 11
(menu-methods are still installed).
* dh_*: Deprecate -s in favor of -a. The -s option is
removed in compat 11.
* dh_strip: Fix regression in 9.20160618, which caused
issues when there were hardlinked ELF binaries in a
package. Thanks to Sven Joachim for the report, the
analysis/testing and for providing a patch for the
most common case. (Closes: #829142)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Cope with the parallel options in make 4.2.
Thanks to Martin Dorey for the report. (Closes: #827132)
* dh_installdocs: In compat 11, install documentation into
/usr/share/doc/mainpackage as requested by policy 3.9.7.
Thanks to Sandro Knauß for the report. (Closes: #824221)

contains perl programs (but no modules of any kind).
Thanks to Javier Serrano Polo and Niko Tyni for the
report and feedback. (Closes: #824696)
[ Translations ]
* Update German translation (Chris Leick + Eduard Bloch)
(Closes: #827699)
debhelper (9.20160618.1ubuntu1) yakkety; 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
take precious CD space.
- dh_strip: Revert commit f1a803456 to disable ddebs generation by
default. This first needs adjustments in Launchpad and ddebs.u.c., and
dropping pkg-create-dbgsym.
* Dropped changes:
- autoscripts/*-init*: Test for /etc/init/*.conf where necessary.
We don't support upstart for system init any more, and moreover we
stopped dropping SysV init scripts as they are required for insserv.
- Clean up older Ubuntu changelog records which were an endless repetition
of "remaining changes".
debhelper (9.20160618.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Dh_Lib.pm: Reject requests for compat 4 instead of
silently accepting it (while all helpers no longer
check for it).
debhelper (9.20160618) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh: Fix bug where "--help" or "--list" would not work
unless "debian/compat" existed and had a supported
compat level. (Closes: #820508)
* dh_compress: Gracefully handle debian (or any other
path segment in the package "tmpdir") being a symlink
pointing outside the same directory. Thanks to
Bernhard Miklautz for the report. (Closes: #820711)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Compat files are now mandatory.
* dh_clean: Remove work around for missing compat file.
This removes a confusing warning when the package is
not built by CDBS. (Closes: #811059)
* debhelper.pod: Add a line stating that debian/compat
is mandatory. (Closes: #805405)
* dh_strip: Apply patch from Peter Pentchev to only strip
static libraries with a basename matching "lib.*\.a".
(Closes: #820446)
* ant.pm: Apply patch from Emmanuel Bourg to pass a
normalised "user.name" parameter to ant.
(Closes: #824490)
* dh_installudev/dh_installmodules: Drop maintainer
script snippets for migrating conffiles.
- Side effect, avoids portability issue with certain
shell implementations. (Closes: #815158)
* autoscripts/*inst-moveconffile: Remove unused files.
* dh: Update documentation to reflect the current
implementation.
* Remove support for compat 4.
* dh_strip: Add debuglinks to ELF binaries even with
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noautodbgsym to make the regular deb
bit-for-bit reproducible with vs. without this flag.
Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the report.
* dh_installcatalogs: Apply patch from Helmut Grohne to
explicitly trigger a new update-sgmlcatalog trigger,
since dpkg does not triger conffiles on package removal.
(Closes: #825005)
* dh_installcatalos: Apply patch from Helmut Grohne to
remove autoscript for a transition that completed in
Wheezy.
* dh_strip: Unconditionally pass --enable-deterministic-archives
to strip for static libs as the stable version of binutils
supports it.
* dh_strip: Use file(1) to determine the build-id when
available. This saves an readelf call for every binary in
the package.
* dh_strip: Cache file(1) output to avoid calling file(1)
twice on all ELF binaries in the package.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Add better error messages when a debhelper program
fails due to an executable config file not terminating with
success. (Closes: #818933)
* dh_strip: Pass -e to file(1) to skip tests for file formats
that dh_strip does not care about.
* Bump standards-version to 3.9.8 - no changes required.
debhelper (9.20160403ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- autoscripts/*-init*: Test for /etc/init/*.conf where necessary.
(Must be kept as long as we support system upstart on touch.)
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7. This floods packages with huge upstream changelogs which
take precious CD space.
- dh_strip: Revert commit f1a803456 to disable ddebs generation by
default. This first needs adjustments in Launchpad and ddebs.u.c., and
dropping pkg-create-dbgsym.
debhelper (9.20160403) unstable; urgency=medium
* d/control: Requre dh-autoreconf (>= 12) to ensure
non-autotools can be built in compat 10.
* dh: In a "PROMISE: DH NOOP" clause, make no assumptions
about being able to skip "foo(bar)" if "foo" is not known.
* debhelper.pod: Use DEB_HOST_ARCH instead of the incorrect
"build architecture". Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the
report.
* dh_makeshlibs: Use same regex for extracting SONAME as
dpkg-shlibdeps. (Closes: #509931)
* dh_makeshlibs: Add an ldconfig trigger if there is an
unversioned SONAME and the maintainer provides a
symbols file.
debhelper (9.20160402) unstable; urgency=medium
* Remove dh_desktop.
* dh_install: Fix a regression where a non-existing file
was ignored if another file was matched for the same
destination dir. Thanks to Ben Hutchings for reporting
the issue. (Closes: #818834)
* d/rules: Use overrides to disable unnecessary helpers
(for which debhelper does not Build-Depend on the
necessary packages to run the tools).
* dh: Enable "autoreconf" sequence by default in compat
10 (or higher). (Closes: #480576)
* d/control: Add a dependency on dh-autoreconf due to
the above.
* autoscripts/*-makeshlibs: Remove again. Most of the
reverse dependencies have migrated already.
* Declare compat 10 ready for testing.
debhelper (9.20160313) unstable; urgency=medium
* Remove dh_undocumented.
* dh_install: Attempt to improve the documentation of the
config file "debian/not-installed".
* dh_compress: Gracefully handle absolute paths passed via
the -P option. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for reporting
the issue. (Closes: #818049)
debhelper (9.20160306) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Remove dh_suidregister and related autoscripts. No package
(that can be built in unstable) invokes this tool.
* dh: Do not create stamp files when running with --no-act.
* dh_strip/dh_gencontrol: Move "is_udeb" guard to dh_strip.
This should avoid adding build-ids to udebs without having
the actual debug symbols available. Thanks to Jérémy Bobbio
for reporting the issue. (Closes: #812879)
* dh_makeshlibs: Do not claim to be using maintainer scripts
for invoking ldconfig. Thanks to Eugene V. Lyubimkin for
the report. (Closes: #815401)
* Remove dh_scrollkeeper. It is no longer used in unstable.
* autoconf.pm: Apply patch from Gergely Nagy to set "VERBOSE=1"
when running tests to make sure that the build logs are
dumped on error with automake. (Closes: #798648, #744380)
* dh_installdeb: In compat 10, properly shell escape lines
from the maintscript config file. This will *not* be fixed
retroactively since people have begun to rely on the bug
in previous versions (e.g. by quoting the file names).
Thanks to Jakub Wilk for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #803341)
* dh_installdeb: In compat 10, avoid adding two comments per line
in the maintscript file. Thanks to Didier Raboud for
reporting the bug. (Closes: #615854)
* cmake.pm: Apply patch from Helmut Grohne to correct the
name of the default cross compilers. (Closes: #812136)
* dh_installdeb: Clarify what goes in the "maintscript" config
files. Thanks to Julian Andres Klode for the report.
(Closes: #814761)
* dh_compress: Correct and warn if given a path with a package
tmp dir prefix (e.g. "debian/<pkg>/path/to/file").
* dh_compress: Handle file resolution failures more gracefully.
Thanks to Daniel Leidert for reporting this issue.
(Closes: #802274)
* dh_installinit: Make --restart-after-upgrade the default in
compat 10. Packages can undo this by using the new
--no-restart-after-upgrade parameter.
* d/control: Update Vcs links.
* d/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.7 - no changes
required.
* Import newer German translations from Chris Leick.

* addsubstvar: Pass -a to grep to handle substvars with unicode content
gracefully (Closes: #815620)
debhelper (9.20160115ubuntu3) xenial; urgency=medium
* Backport upstream commit 9ca73a0a ("Pass -a to grep to handle
substvars with unicode content gracefully") to fix build-failure
with php-mf2 (LP: #1564492, Closes #815620).
debhelper (9.20160115ubuntu2) xenial; urgency=medium
* dh-strip: Adjust reversion of commit f1a803456 to account for the recent
ENABLE_DDEBS → ENABLE_DBGSYM rename. This actually disables -dbgsym
generation by dh_strip by default again. (LP: #1535949)
debhelper (9.20160115ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- autoscripts/*-init*: Test for /etc/init/*.conf where necessary.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7. This floods packages with huge upstream changelogs which
take precious CD space.
- dh_installinit: Add dependency to lsb-base >= 4.1+Debian11ubuntu7 that
provides the upstart LSB hook, to avoid upgrade breakage. This change
can be dropped after 16.04 LTS.
- dh_strip: Revert commit f1a803456 to disable ddebs generation by
default. This first needs adjustments in Launchpad and ddebs.u.c., and
dropping pkg-create-dbgsym.
debhelper (9.20160115) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix brown paper bag bug that caused many packages to
FTBFS when dh_update_autotools_config was called.
(Closes: #811052)
* Revert removal of autoscripts/*-makeshlibs. Some packages
injected them directly into their maintainer scripts.
(Closes: #811038)
debhelper (9.20160114) unstable; urgency=low
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Pass "-S" to dpkg-parsechangelog when requesting
the Version field.
* Drop compat level 3.
* dh_install: Only fallback to debian/tmp if the given glob
does not start with debian/tmp. This should make the
output on failures less weird.
* autoscripts/*-makeshlibs: Removed, no longer used.
* dh: In compat 10, drop the manual sequence control arguments
and the sequence log files. (Closes: #510855)
* dh_update_autotools_config: New helper to update config.sub
and config.guess.
* dh: Run dh_update_autotools_config before dh_auto_configure.
(Closes: #733045)
* d/control: Add dependency on autotools-dev for the new
dh_update_autotools_config tool.
* dh_installinit: Correct the "PROMISE NOOP" clause to account
for /etc/tmpfiles.d and /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d.
* dh_strip: Add "--(no-)automatic-dbgsym" and "--dbgsym-migration"
options to replace "--(no-)ddebs" and "--ddeb-migration".
(Closes: #810948)
[ Dmitry Shachnev ]

all file lists for all packages. (Closes: #488346)
debhelper (9.20151225) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installmanpages: Fix call to getpackages. Thanks to
Niko Tyni for reporting the issue. (Closes: #808603)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Restore the behaviour of getpackages(), which
is slightly different from getpackages('both'). Fixes
a regression introduced in 9.20151220.
debhelper (9.20151220) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_strip: Document that dbgsym packages are built by
default.
* Dh_Lib: Cache the results of getpackages.

modifier when substituting the auto-script snippets.
* dh_*: Add /g when substituting the auto-script snippts in
other commands as well.
* dh_strip: Do not assume that ELF binaries have a Build-Id.
Thanks to Helmut Grohne for spotting this issue.
(Closes: #806814)
* dh_strip: Enable generation of dbgsym packages by default.
Thanks to Ansgar Burchardt and Paul Tagliamonte for
implementing the DAK side of this feature.

Closes: #806276)
debhelper (9.20151117) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_clean: Temporarily interpret the absence of d/compat and
DH_COMPAT to mean compat 5. This is to avoid breaking
packages that rely on cdbs to set debian/compat to 5 during
the build. This temporary work around will live until
d/compat becomes mandatory. (Closes: #805404)

* cmake.pm: Add better cross-compile support for cmake.
Heavily based on a patch from Helmut Grohne.
(Closes: #794396)
* cmake.pm: Pass -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc and
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LOCALSTATEDIR=/var to cmake. Thanks to
Felix Geyer, Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer and
Michael Terry for the assistance plus suggestions.
(Closes: #719148)
* dh_installinit: Quote directory name before using it in
a regex.
* dh_installinit: Create script snippts for tmpfiles.d
files even if the package has no sysvinit script or
explicit debian/<package>.service file.
(Closes: #795519)
* dh_makeshlibs: Revert passing -X to ldconfig in compat 10
after talking with the glibc maintainer. This is not the
right place to make this change.
* d/control: Remove the homepage field.
* dh: Make dh_strip_nondeterminism optional, so debhelper
does not need to build-depend on it.
* dh_gencontrol/dh_builddeb: Temporarily stop building ddebs
for udebs as dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-deb does not agree
the default file extension for these.
* dh_builddeb: Generate udebs with the correct filename even
when "-V" is passed to dpkg-gencontrol. This relies on
dpkg-deb getting everything but the extension correct
(see #575059, #452273 for why it does not produce the
correct extension).
(Closes: #516721, #677353, #672282)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Drop now unused "udeb_filename" subroutine.
* dh_strip.1: Correct the documentation about ddebs to
reflect the current implementation (rather than the
desired "state"). Thanks to Jakub Wilk for the report.
(Closes: #797002)
* dh_fixperms: Reset permissions to 0644 for .js, .css,
.jpeg, .jpg, .png, and .gif files. Thanks to Ernesto
Hernández-Novich for the suggestion. (Closes: #595097)
* dh_install: Read debian/not-installed if present as a
list of files that are deliberately not installed.
Files listed here will not cause dh_install to complain
with --list-missing. Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for the
suggestion. (Closes: #436240)
* Dh_Lib: Cherry-pick patch from Chris Lamb to only read
the latest changelog entry when determing the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
* debhelper.7: Provide a better example of how to insert
the debhelper maintainer script snippets into a maintainer
script written in Perl. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for

* dh_shlibdeps: The "-L" option can now be passed multiple
times with different package names. Thanks to Tristan
Schmelcher for the suggestion. (Closes: #776103)
* dh,Buildsytems: In compat 10, default to --parallel.
* dh,Buildsytems: Accept "--no-parallel" to disable
parallel builds. It is effectively the same as using
--max-parallel=1 but may be more intuitive to some people.
* dh_makeshlibs: Use a noawait trigger to invoke ldconfig

* dh_installdirs.1: Add a note that many packages will work
fine without calling dh_installdirs. (Closes: #748993)
* dh_compress: Apply patch from Rafael Kitover to support
passing files to dh_compress that would have been
compressed anyway. (Closes: #794898)
* Dh_Lib: Apply patch from Gergely Nagy to make debhelper
export "DH_CONFIG_ACT_ON_PACKAGES" when executing an
executable debhelper config file. This is intended to
assist dh-exec (etc.) in figuring what packages are
acted on. (Closes: #698054)
* dh_movefiles: Expand globs in arguments passed in all
compat levels (and not just compat 1 and 2).
(Closes: #800332)
* dh_installinit: Clearly document that --onlyscripts
should generally be used with -p (or similar) to limit

* d/changelog: Add missing entry for dh_md5sums/#786695 in
the 9.20150628 release.
* Makefile: Set LC_ALL=C when sorting.
* dh: Avoid passing --parallel to other debhelper commands
if it is the only option and "parallel" is not set (or
set to 1) in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
* dh_strip: Apply patch from Guillem Jover to fix a typo.
(Closes: #792207)
* dh_makeshlibs: Avoid an uninitialised warning in some
error cases. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for reporting it.
(Closes: #793092)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Apply patch from Guillem Jover to use the
value of dpkg-architecture variables from the environment,
if present. (Closes: #793440)
* Dh_Buildsystems.pm/Dh_Lib.pm: Import Exporter's import
subroutine rather than adding Exporter to @ISA.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Use Dpkg::Arch's debarch_is rather than running
dpkg-architecture to determine if an architecture matches
a wildcard. Heavily based on a patch from Guillem Jover.
(Closes: #793443)
* dh_strip: Always compress debug sections of debug symbols
in ddebs.
* dh_strip: Strip ".comment" and ".note" sections from static
libraries. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the suggestion.
(Closes: #789351)
* dh_gencontrol: Stop explicitly passing -DSource to
dpkg-gencontrol when building ddebs. The passed value was
wrong sometimes (e.g. with binNMUs) and dpkg-gencontrol
since 1.18.2~ computes the value correctly.
* d/control: Bump dependency on dpkg-dev to 1.18.2~ for
ddebs. Build-depends not bumped since debhelper itself
does not produce any ddebs.
* dh_makeshlibs: Continue generating reports from
dpkg-gensymbols after the first error. This helps
packages with multiple libraries to spot all the symbol
issues in one build.

creating ddebs with the ".deb" extension.
* Dh_lib.pm: Generate ddebs with the ".deb" extension.
* dh_gencontrol: Reduce the "pkg:arch" to "pkg" as APT and dpkg
disagree on what satisfies an "pkg:arch" dependency.
* dh_strip.1: Document what inhibits ddeb generation.
* dh_gencontrol: Only mark a ddeb as Multi-Arch: same if the
original deb was Multi-Arch: same. All other ddebs are now
Multi-Arch: no (by omitting the field).

copying the source file or (with an executable file under compat
9) execute the file and use its output to generate the
destination.
* dh_lintian: Under compat 9, the debian/lintian-overrides are now
executed if they have the exec-bit set like the debian/install

* d/rules: Remove makefile target only intended for/used by the
previous maintainer.
* dh_makeshlibs: In compat 10+, pass "-X" to ldconfig to
only regenerate the cache (instead of also creating missing
symlinks). Thanks to Joss Mouette for the suggestion.

* autoscripts/post{inst,rm}-makeshlibs-c10: New files.
* dh_strip: Pass the --enable-deterministic-archives option to strip
when it is stripping static libraries. This avoids some
unnecessary non-determinism in builds. Based on patch by
Andrew Ayer.
* dh_install, dh_installdocs, dh_installexamples and dh_installinfo:

There seems to be no benefit to doing that, and it breaks when using

for one package, dpkg-gencontrol may see other packages in the
control file.
