debhelper (13.3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_md5sums: When reading the conffiles file, ignore every line
except those starting with a slash "/".
* SequencerUtil.pm,dh_testroot: Let dh skip dh_testroot when
the builder supports Rules-Requires-Root and it is set to "no".
* Dh_Lib.pm: Provide a more helpful error message when
lintian-overrides config files are executable by mistake.
* dh_gencontrol: Discard the "Protected" field in dbgsym packages.
Thanks to Axel Beckert for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #976323)
* dh_installsysusers: New tool to install and integrate sysusers
into debian packaging. Thanks to Michael Biebl and Moritz
Muehlenhoff for feedback and initial testing.
(Closes: #962384)
* d/control: Remove transitional package for dh-systemd. Thanks
to Michael Biebl for poking reverse dependencies to migrate and
getting us ready to remove it. (Closes: #871312)
* cmake.pm: Pass VERBOSE=1 to make by default when building to
ensure that gmock builds are also verbose. Thanks to
Johannes Schauer for reporting the issue. (Closes: #973029)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Disable "unicode_strings" feature, which caused
issues with UTF-8 encoded files. Thanks to Sebastien Bacher
for reporting the issue. (Closes: #971362)
* dh_installinfo: Work around upstream installing the
usr/share/info/dir file. If seen, dh_installinfo will now
tag it as "installed" even though it is not installed. This
avoids promoting the installation of the file by dh_missing
only to have lintian tell people to remove it again.
(Closes: #971036)
[ Michael Biebl ]
* autoscripts/postrm-systemd-reload-only: Run daemon-reload on
"remove" only.
debhelper (13.2.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* debian/changelog: Fix some typos in previous entries.

--reload-all-buildenv-variables is passed. Thanks to
Harald Welte and Guillem Jover for reporting and debugging
the issue. (Closes: #966689)
* dh_missing: Improve message about related files found. Thanks
to Diego Escalante for reporting the issue. (Closes: #966834)
[ Peter Pentchev ]
* dh_installalternatives: Correct order of values in the example for
Dependents links. (Closes: #966285)
[ Chris Lamb ]
* dh_missing: Sort order of missing files to make output
deterministic. (Closes: #968187)
[ Translations ]
* Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro) (Closes: #964784)
debhelper (13.2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_missing: Explicitly remind people that they should not
copy-waste multi-arch paths directly into debian/not-installed.
Instead, recommend the use of wildcards of ${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}
to replace the hardcoded value.
* d/changelog: Clarify what dh_installman change in 13.1 related to
#958343 was about.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Add support for raising compat deprecation warnings to
an error if there are pending removals. This currently triggers
for usage of compat 5 and 6.
* cmake.pm: Pass -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON -DBUILD_RPATH_USE_ORIGIN=ON
to cmake in compat 14. This should fix some reproducibility
issues but may cause breakage if packages run binaries directly
from the build directory. Thanks to Timo Röhling for the
suggestion. (Closes: #962474)
* dh,dh_auto_*: Change the handling of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in compat 13.
It is now only set to a writable directory for dh_auto_test but
set to a much shorter directory avoid issues with socket lengths.
In all other cases, the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is now cleared. Thanks to
Simon McVittie for the report. (Closes: #961655)
* debhelper.pod: Document that --sourcedir clashes between dh_auto_*
and dh_missing (etc.). Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for reporting
the issue. (See #964230)
* PROGRAMMING: Minor improvements and clarifications to the API
documentation.
[ Anel Husakovic ]
* debhelper.7: Fix typo/grammatical errors.
[ Translations ]
* Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro) (Closes: #962568)
debhelper (13.1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_installinitramfs: Remove misleading "in compat 12" as the
behaviour was unrelated to the compat level.
* dh_installinitramfs: Migrate to triggering update-initramfs
via activate-noawait trigger (replacing maintscript calls to
"update-initramfs -u", which had the same affect).
(Closes: #822730).
* dh_installman: Improve error messages and handling of broken
section numbers. Notably, the auto-detection no longer picks
section numbers that look suspiciously like a version number
(or a date). This can cause dh_installman to reject manpages
if it can no longer guess a suitable section for the manpage
Thanks to Paul Gevers for reporting the bug.
(Closes: #958343)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Support that Architecture (among other fields) can be
folded in d/control. Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for reporting
the issue. (Closes: #958987)
* SequencerUtil.pm: Fix use of uninitialized variable warning.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Properly error out on paragraphs missing the Package
field (rather than silently ignoring them).
* debian/rules: Fix call to gen-provides that seemed to work more
due to luck than by design.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Provide HIGHEST_STABLE_COMPAT_LEVEL, which reflects
the latest stable compat level. Thanks to Jelmer Vernooij
for the suggestion.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Respond to DH_DATAFILES environment variable in
addition to DH_AUTOSCRIPTS as a means to find data files. This
is mostly useful for testing purposes or to be "self-hosting".
The new DH_DATAFILES is more general than DH_AUTOSCRIPTS and
enable us to add new data file sources without inventing new
environment variables.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Require perl v5.24 (available in Debian oldstable)
to enable more modern features.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix a bug in variable substitution where ${Tab}
incorrectly expanded to "\b" rather than "\t".
* dh_installchangelogs: Loosely document which file names that
dh_installchangelogs uses as guesses for finding an upstream
changelog file. Thanks to Laurent Bigonville for suggesting
the change. (Closes: #933224)
* Dh_Lib.pm: When setting HOME or XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in compat 13,
use an absolute path. Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev for reporting
the issue. (Closes: #959731)
* dh_installsystemd: Copy the description for the
--no-stop-on-upgrade option from dh_installinit.
* dh_installsystemd: Have --no-start or --no-stop-on-upgrade
disable --restart-after-upgrade as the documentation says it
will. Thanks to Axel Beckert for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #959678)
* dh_installinit: Ditto.
* dh: Explicitly document that hook targets can cause
complications when they are made unconditional by a makefile
target and suggest alternatives. Thanks to Marcin Owsiany for
reporting this. (Closes: #645873)
* cmake.pm: Rollback -DCMAKE_AUTOGEN_VERBOSE=ON temporarily as it
trips bhlc due to a bug in cmake. Thanks to Nicolas
Braud-Santoni and "anoteng" for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #959494)
* dh_clean: Rephrase the description of dh_clean to avoid
confusion about when it is run. Thanks to Hugh McMaster for
the suggestion. (Closes: #960110)
* dh_missing: Update documentation to reflect that the
--fail-missing option is now the default in compat 13.
Thanks to Hugh McMaster and Christoph Berg for the report.
(Closes: #960107, #960697)
* dh: Filter out the root-sequence in "--list" output and reject
attempts to activate or deactivate the sequence as it is an
implementation detail.
* dh_installalternatives: New helper that can setup alternatives
(update-alternatives) based on a declarative format. Currently,
the format is converted to calls to update-alternatives, which
are inserted into the maintscripts of the package. Thanks to
David Engel and Fumitoshi UKAI for the original requests.
(Closes: #43720)
* dh_missing: Attempt to guess if missing files might be caused by
the packager installing the same file via a different path and
let them know of this. (Closes: #960781)
[ Guillem Jover ]
* autoconf.pm: Pass --disable-option-checking to ./configure
scripts to avoid warnings about unknown options.
(Closes: #942813)
[ Translations ]
* Fix typo in German translation. (Andreas Bombe)
debhelper (13) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* debian/changelog: Fix typo of a bug number in the 12.10
entry. Thanks to Andy Caldwell for reporting it.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Flag compat 9 as deprecated as announced in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2020/02/msg00000.html
* dh_install: Remove trailing slashes from value to the --sourcedir
parameter. This avoids dh_install computing an incorrect directory
name. Thanks to Mihai Moldovan for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #955568)
* dh_missing: Ditto.
* SequencerUtil.pm/dh: Fix bug where the long forms of --builddirectory
and --sourcedirectory might be ignored by dh causing it to skip
dh_auto_* when it should not. This is in practice only a problem in
compat 13 as long form of arguments are not optimized in compat 12 or
earlier.
[ Chris Leick ]
* debhelper.pod: Fix typos.
* dh_makeshlibs: Ditto.
* dh: Ditto.
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* perl_makemaker.pm: Add missing import of "warning" function.
