Changelog

debhelper (7.0.13ubuntu1~hardy1) hardy-backports; urgency=low

  * Automated backport upload; no source changes.

debhelper (7.0.13ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - autoscripts/postinst-scrollkeeper: Do not show scrollkeeper-update
      output.
    - dh_installudev: Use priority 50 by default (instead of z60) and '-'
      separator (instead of '_').
    - dh_installxfonts: Use versioned dependency for xfonts-utils. This should
      be kept until dapper goes out of support, to avoid broken dapper
      backports.

debhelper (7.0.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_auto_install: Rather than looking at the number of binary packages
    being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
    source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or
    debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any
    packages using the binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
    Closes: #487938

debhelper (7.0.12) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Correct docs about dh_install and debian/tmp in v7 mode. It first looks in
    the current directory, or whatever is configured with --srcdir. Then it
    always falls back to looking in debian/tmp.
  * Medium urgency to get this doc fix into testing.

debhelper (7.0.11ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - autoscripts/postinst-scrollkeeper: Do not show scrollkeeper-update
      output.
    - dh_installudev: Use priority 50 by default (instead of z60) and '-'
      separator (instead of '_').
    - dh_installxfonts: Use versioned dependency for xfonts-utils. This should
      be kept until dapper goes out of support, to avoid broken dapper
      backports.

debhelper (7.0.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh: Man page fix. Closes: #485116
  * Add stamp files to example rules targets. Closes: #486327
  * Add a build dependency on file. The rules file now runs dh_strip and
    dh_shlibdeps, which both use it. (It could be changed not to, but
    it's good to have it run all the commands as a test.) Closes: #486439
  * Typo fix. Closes: #486464

debhelper (7.0.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_compress: Do not compress index.sgml files, as generated by gtk-doc.
    Closes: #484772

debhelper (7.0.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * rules.tiny: Typo fix. Closes: #479647
  * dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a
    daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
    its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
    while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default
    in a future (v8) compatibility level. Closes: #471060
  * dh: fix POD error. Closes: #480191
  * dh: Typo fixes. Closes: #480200
  * dh: Add remove_command to the sequence interface.
  * dh_auto_clean: setup.py clean can create pyc files. Remove. Closes: #481899

debhelper (7.0.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh: Add an interface that third-party packages providing debhelper commands
    can use to insert them into a command sequence.
    (See dh(1), "SEQUENCE ADDONS".)
  * dh: --with=foo can be used to include such third-party commands.
    So, for example, --with=cli could add the dh_cli* commands from
    cli-common.
  * Moved python-support special case out of dh and into a python-support
    sequence addon. --with=python-support is enabled by default to avoid
    breaking backwards compatability.

debhelper (7.0.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_installxfonts: Fix precidence problem that exposes a new warning
    message in perl 5.10.

debhelper (7.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_auto_test: Correct Module::Build tests.

debhelper (7.0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Convert copyright file to new format.
  * dh_test*: inhibit logging. Closes: #478958

debhelper (7.0.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix underescaped $ in Makefile. Closes: #478475
  * dh_auto_test: Run tests for Module::Build packages. (Florian Ragwitz)

debhelper (7.0.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933
  * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
  * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
    run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
    daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
    dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
    only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
    logging by dh_listpackages.

debhelper (7.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh: Optimise the case where the binary-arch or binary-indep sequence is
    run and there are no packages of that type.
  * dh_auto_configure: Set PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT when configuring MakeMaker
    packages to avoid interactive prompts.
  * dh_auto_*: Also support packages using Module::Build.
  * dh_auto_*: Fix some calls to setup.py. Now tested and working with
    python packages.
  * dh_install: Find all possible cases of "changelog" and "changes", rather
    than just looking for some predefined common cases.

debhelper (7.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * I lied, one more v7 change slipped in..
  * dh_installchangelogs: In v7 mode, if no upstream changelog is specified,
    and the package is not native, guess at a few common changelog filenames.

debhelper (7.0.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh: New program that runs a series of debhelper commands in a sequence.
    This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
    lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
    needed.
  * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
    Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
    options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
  * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
    running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
    planned but not yet implemented.)
  * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
    if the Makefile has such a target.
  * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
    or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
  * dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
    setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
    MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
    but not yet implemented.)
  * New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new
    recommended default, especially when using dh.
  * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
    files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This
    allows dh_install to interoperate with dh_auto_install without needing any
    special parameters.
  * dh_clean: In v7 mode, read debian/clean and delete all files listed
    therein.
  * dh_clean: In v7 mode, automatically delete *-stamp files.
  * Add a Makefile and simplify this package's own rules file using
    all the new toys.
  * dh_clean: Don't delete core dumps. (Too DWIM, and "core" is not
    necessarily a core dump.) Closes: #477391
  * dh_prep: New program, does the same as dh_clean -k (which will be
    deprecated later).

debhelper (6.0.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_icons: Support .xpm format icons. Stop looking for .jpg icons, and
    also, for completeness, support .icon files. This matches the set of
    extensions supported by gtk-update-icon-cache. Closes: #448094

debhelper (6.0.11) unstable; urgency=medium

  * dh_installman: man --recode transparently uncompresses compressed
    pages. So when saving the output back, save it to a non-compressed
    filename (and delete the original, compressed file). Closes: #470913

debhelper (6.0.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_perl: Remove empty directories created by MakeMaker.

debhelper (6.0.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_installman: Don't recode symlinks. Closes: #471196

debhelper (6.0.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_installman: Convert all man pages in the build directory to utf-8, not
    just those installed by the program.

debhelper (6.0.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_lintian: Finally added this since linda is gone and there's only
    lintian to worry about supporting. Closes: #109642, #166320, #206765
    (Thanks to Steve M. Robbins for the initial implementation.)

debhelper (6.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_compress: Pass -n to gzip to yeild more reproducible file contents.
    The time stamp information need not be contained in the .gz file since the
    time stamp is preserved when compressing and decompressing. Closes: #467100
  * The order of dependencies generated by debhelper has been completly random
    (hash key order), so sort it. Closes: #468959

debhelper (6.0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_installman: Recode all man pages to utf-8 on installation.
    Closes: #462937 (Colin Watson)
  * Depend on a new enough version of man-db.
