Change logs for debhelper source package in Lucid

  • debhelper (7.4.15ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
        - dh_installinit: Add --upstart-only and --onlyscripts-upstart modes.
        - Add various autoscripts for above: postinst-upstart,
          postinst-upstart-replace, postinst-upstart-restart,
          prerm-upstart, prerm-upstart-norestart, preinst-removeconffile.
        - dh_installudev: Handle conffile migration from old Ubuntu defaults
          (needed until after the next LTS release).
    
    debhelper (7.4.15) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * The fix for #563557 caused some new trouble involving makefile
        that misbehave when stderr is closed. Reopen it to /dev/null
        when testing for the existance of a makefile target. Closes: #570443
    
    debhelper (7.4.14) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * dh: Disable option bundling to avoid mis-parsing bundled options such
        as "-Bpython-support". Closes: #570039

  • debhelper (7.4.13ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
        - dh_installinit: Add --upstart-only and --onlyscripts-upstart modes.
        - Add various autoscripts for above: postinst-upstart,
          postinst-upstart-replace, postinst-upstart-restart,
          prerm-upstart, prerm-upstart-norestart, preinst-removeconffile.
        - dh_installudev: Handle conffile migration from old Ubuntu defaults
          (needed until after the next LTS release).
    
    debhelper (7.4.13) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * dh_compress: Avoid compressing images in /usr/share/info. Closes: #567586
      * Fix handling of -O with options specified by commands. Closes: #568081
    
    debhelper (7.4.12) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * dh_bugfiles: Doc typo. Closes: #563269
      * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
        something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
      * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
      * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
        options that they do not support.
      * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
        This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
        that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
        (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)
      * qmake: New buildsystem contributed by Kel Modderman. Closes: #566840
      * Fix typo in call to abs2rel in --builddir sanitize code.
        Closes: #567737

  • debhelper (7.4.11ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
    
      * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
        - dh_installinit: Add --upstart-only and --onlyscripts-upstart modes.
        - Add various autoscripts for above: postinst-upstart,
          postinst-upstart-replace, postinst-upstart-restart,
          prerm-upstart, prerm-upstart-norestart, preinst-removeconffile.
        - dh_installudev: Handle conffile migration from old Ubuntu defaults
          (needed until after the next LTS release).
    
    debhelper (7.4.11) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * dh(1): Minor rewording of documentation of override commands.
        Closes: #560421
      * dh(1): Add an example of using an override target to avoid
        dh running several commands. Closes: #560600
      * dh_installman: Avoid doubled slashes in path. Closes: #561275
      * dh_installxfonts: Use new update-fonts-alias --include and
        --exclude options to better handle removal in the case where
        xfonts-utils is removed before a font package is purged.
        (#543512; thanks, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan)
      * dh: Optimise handling of noop overrides, avoiding an unnecessary
        call to make to handle them. (Modestas Vainius)

  • debhelper (7.4.10ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
    
      [ أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) ]
      * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #485956). Remaining Ubuntu changes:
        - dh_installinit: Add --upstart-only and --onlyscripts-upstart modes.
        - Add various autoscripts for above: postinst-upstart,
          postinst-upstart-replace, postinst-upstart-restart,
          prerm-upstart, prerm-upstart-norestart, preinst-removeconffile.
        - dh_installudev: Handle conffile migration from old Ubuntu defaults
          (needed until after the next LTS release).
    
      [ Daniel Holbach ]
      * Port merge from 7.4.7 to 7.4.10.
    
    debhelper (7.4.10) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Add --parallel option that can be used to enable parallel building
        without limiting the max number of parallel jobs. (Modestas Vainius)
      * dh_makeshlibs: Temporarily revert fix for #557603, as it caused
        dpkg-gensymbols to see libraries not in the regular search path and
        broke builds. This will be re-enabled in v8. Closes: #560217
    
    debhelper (7.4.9) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Typo. Closes: #558654
      * dh_installinit: Fix installation of defaults file when an upstart job is
        installed. Closes: #558782
    
    debhelper (7.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
        be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
        some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)
      * dh: Document --no-act. Closes: #557505
      * dh_makeshlibs: Make -X also exclude libraries from the symbols file.
        Closes: #557603 (Peter Samuelson)
    
    debhelper (7.4.7) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
        of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop
        after it sees one line of output from make. (This may be better replaced
        with dh's makefile parser in the future.) Closes: #557307
    
    debhelper (7.4.6) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Update --list to reflect buildsystem autoselection changes.
      * Remove last vestiages of support for /usr/X11R6.
      * cmake: Fix deep recursion in test. Closes: #557299
    
    debhelper (7.4.5) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * ant: Fix auto-selection breakage. Closes: #557006 (Cyril Brulebois)
    
    debhelper (7.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
        now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
        DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
      * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
        or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
        building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
        parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
      * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
        debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
        mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
      * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
      * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
        options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
        time soon.) Closes: #554509
      * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
        Closes: #548382
      * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
        (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
      * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
        document id. Closes: #555677
      * Typo. Closes: #555659
      * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
        Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
      * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
        it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
        Closes: #556384
      * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
        autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
        makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

  • debhelper (7.4.3ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

          (needed until after the next LTS release).
    
    debhelper (7.4.3) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Valery Perrin ]
      * update french translation. Closes: #494300, #477703
      * add --previous at po4a command into Makefile
      * add dh, dh_auto_install, dh_auto_clean, dh_auto_configure,
        dh_auto_install, dh_auto_test, dh_bugfiles, dh_icons, dh_installifupdown,
        dh_installudev, dh_lintian, dh_prep into po4a.cfg manpages list
      * fix a spelling mistake in dh_makeshlibs man french
        translation (#494300 part 2)
    
      [ Joey Hess ]
      * dh_perl: Do not look at perl scripts under /usr/share/doc.
        Closes: #546683
      * Allow dpkg-architecture to print errors to stderr. Closes: #548636
      * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force
        to setup.py install to ensure that timestamps do not prevent installation
        of the scripts built for the default python, with unversioned shebang
        lines. Closes: #547510 (Thanks, Andrew Straw)
    
    debhelper (7.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Man page typo. Closes: #545443
      * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
        (It was only run once due to logging.)
      * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
        documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
        than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
        Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
      * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
        dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
        python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
      * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
        to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev
        is installed for the first package. Closes: #546337
    
    debhelper (7.4.1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Steve Langasek ]
      * dh_installinit: Support upstart job files, and provide compatibility
        symlinks in /etc/init.d for sysv-rc implementations.  Closes: #536035.
    
      [ Joey Hess ]
      * Add FILES sections to man pages. Closes: #545041
      * dh_prep(1): Clarify when it should be called. Closes: #544969
    
    debhelper (7.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
        is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
        flag with arch all/any packages.
      * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
        do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
        that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
        situation. Closes: #540794
    
    debhelper (7.3.16) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * dh_desktop: Clarify in man page why it's a no-op.
        Closes: #543364
      * dh_installdocs: Loosen the Document field parsing, to accept
        everything doc-base *really* accepts in a doc id (not just what
        it's documented to accept). Closes: #543499
      * Allow sequence addons to pass options to debhelper commands,
        by adding add_command_options and remove_command_options to the interface.
        Closes: #543392
        (Modestas Vainius)
      * dh_auto_install: Add a --destdir parameter that can be used to override
        the default. Closes: #538201

  • debhelper (7.3.15ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * dh_installinit:
        - Create the upstart-job symlink even when --upstart-only is called,
          since this simplifies implementation of...
        - --restart-after-upgrade: we can't use the upstart 'restart' command here
          because this will give wrong behavior if we're adding a new job to an
          existing package; instead just use the standard invoke-rc.d snippet,
          which (combined with the above) will at least give us compatibility
          with policy-rc.d for preventing stopped jobs from starting on upgrade.
          (N.B.: prerm scripts could also safely reuse the invoke-rc.d handling
          instead of calling 'stop' directly, but leaving this alone for now
          because the current behavior is only minorly buggy.)
        - Drop unnecessary UPSTART_ONLY check; --upstart-only should never be set
          without having an upstart job so this is redundant.
        - postinst-reboot-required is never the right snippet to include here.
        - Merge in the final changes to the upstartification as accepted into
          debhelper upstream, dropping the --onlyscripts-upstart option from
          the documentation but mapping it to --onlyscripts for compatibility in
          karmic.
      * autoscript/postinst-upstart: typo fix.
