[ Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues ]
* autoscripts/postinst-init-tmpfiles: do not output to /dev/null to not hide error messages
[ Simon McVittie ]

(Closes: #1042398)
debhelper (13.11.4) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Peter Pentchev ]
* meson.pm: Pass --destdir to `meson install`. (Closes: #1027014)
debhelper (13.11.3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Dh_Lib.pm: Have addsubstvars check the value for newlines (Closes: #1026014)
* Stop using (fake)root for mkdirs again.
Should have been removed as a part of the clean up in the previous
upload but was overlooked causing breakage in packages still having
`Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets`. (Closes: #1026125)
* PROGRAMMING.md: Fix typos
debhelper (13.11.2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Remove unused third parameter from install_dh_config_file
* makefile.pm: Provide hook for subclasses to reuse cross-build support
(Closes: #1024296)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Revert change where `install_{file,prog,lib}` would use chown.
The problem that prompted this change was not caused by debhelper but
by fakeroot (#1024544) and the change in debhelper would not even
function as a work around in this case. Accordingly, the extra
complexity is not worth it and has been reverted.
[ Jakub Wilk ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix typo in warning message about dherroron
debhelper (13.11.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Team upload.
* Fix missed 3 to 4 arguments conversion in _install_file_to_path call.
(Closes: #1024520)
debhelper (13.11) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Gioele Barabucci ]
* dh_installchangelogs: Ensure that at least four old entries are preserved
(Closes: #1021467)
[ Andrea Pappacoda ]
* meson.pm: Use `meson setup` in the configure step rather than just `meson`.
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Put newest compat level first in documentation
* Rename debhelper config files to include package name
* dh_installdebconf: Fix typo in manual page
* Dh_Lib.pm: `qx_cmd` support env/chdir changes like `doit` (Closes: #1016354)
* Remove obsolete compat checks in the code
* dh_dwz: Ensure dwz multifile is owned by root:root when root should be used
* dh_builddeb: Always pass `--root-owner-group` to `dpkg-deb` for dbgsym packages.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Provide `mkdirs` to create (non-package) directories.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Make `install_dir` chown created directories when root should be
used for debhelper's own commands. This fixes #1024261 for packages that only
use debhelper itself. However, third-party debhelper tools may still cause
packages with incorrect ownership for now if they are run after `dh_fixperms`
(or `dh_fixperms` is omitted).
* Dh_Lib.pm: Ensure `install_{file,prog,lib}` uses chown when root should be used.
Previously, they would skip the `chown` call and rely on `dh_fixperms`
or `dpkg-deb` to fix the ownership. However, that could cause issues
when the helper was run after `dh_fixperms` and install files that
`dpkg-deb` would not reset ownership of.
debhelper (13.10.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Team upload.
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* dh_installsysusers: make output reproducible
[ Jakub Wilk ]
* dh_assistant: Suggest json_pp as JSON formatter
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_assistant: Fix typo of active-compat-level
* dh_installchangelogs: Fix typo of performed
debhelper (13.10) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* Install `installsysusers` sequence (to match the provide).
[ Gioele Barabucci ]
* dh_installchangelogs: Trim old Debian changelog entries
automatically. Distributions can disable this by using
`DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=notrimdch`.
* dh_installchangelogs.t: Force locale to be `C.UTF-8` to
avoid generating invalid changelog entries under
non-default locales.
[ Andrea Pappacoda ]
* meson.pm: Stop providing `MESON_TESTTHREADS` environment
variable for the install target. Said variable only
applies for testing.
* cmake.pm: Use `cmake --install` in compat 14.
(Closes: #1020732)
* docs/PROGRAMMING{,.md}: Rewrite PROGRAMMING into markdown.
[ Michael Biebl ]
* dh_installsystemduser: Stop masking user units on package
removal. They should never have been masked in the first
place. See #1021027.
* dh_installinit: Remove executable bit of init scripts on
package removal (via preinst). Related to #1021027.
* dh_installsystemd: Stop masking system units on package
removal. This is no longer necessary with the init scripts
getting their exec bit cleared on package removal.
(Closes: #1021027)
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Add `package_type` as a function (extracted
from `is_udeb`).
* Dh_Getopt.pm: Fix duplicated `warning` in output for a
particular warning.
* dh_assistant: Provide a new `detect-hook-targets` command.
* dh: Recommend using `dh_assistant detect-hook-targets` for
checking whether hook targets are correct.
* dh: Hoist `nodoc` and `nocheck` from `DEB_BUILD_PROFILES`
into `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS` when they are present in the former
and absent in the latter. Emit a warning when doing so to
aid the user, so they know why this does not work when they
are later building a package that does not use dh.
(Closes: #979401)
* dh: Provide a warning when cross building an `nocheck` is
absent from `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS` to cross builders, who are
not experienced with Debian's requirements for
cross-building. The warning also recommends activating the
`cross` build profile and provides a way to disable the
warning without using `nocheck` (for the special case, where
people have a system that can run host binaries).
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix bug where `addsubstvars` would not respect
the `--no-act` parameter.
* dh_perl: For scripts that are detected as perl scripts
that would trigger a dependency, normalize the shebang line to
use the same perl as debhelper is run under (/usr/bin/perl
in Debian, YMMV in derivatives). (Closes: #904409)
* dh_assistant: Provide new `log-installed-files` command to
help users and third-party tools record which files they have
installed. Third-party tools should use the
`--on-behalf-of-cmd` to have their tool name recorded.
(Closes: #972724)
* dh_installexamples: Explicitly recommend `examples/*` over
`examples` as content for the `debian/<pkg>.examples` file
to avoid the triggering `.../examples/examples` case.
(Closes: #1000384)
* debhelper.pod: Clarify the documentation around `-v` +
`--verbose` vs. `DH_VERBOSE` vs. `DH_QUIET` and `terse`
from `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS`. Notably, clarify that `-v`
and `DH_VERBOSE` provides the same functionality and
that they do not cause *all* commands to be shown.
(Closes: #1002464)
[ Translations ]
* Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro)
(Closes: #1019231)
debhelper (13.9.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* autoscripts/postinst-init-tmpfiles: Re-instate runtime check
before running `systemd-tmpfiles`. However, explicitly check
for `systemd-tmpfiles` rather than asserting the system was
booted by systemd. This resolves #1013969 without requiring
a strict dependency as originally suggested by Guilhem Moulin
in #1013969.
* dh_installtmpfiles: Remove the `systemd | systemd-tmpfiles`
dependency as it is no longer required. (Closes: #1017441)
* dh_installsystemd: Ditto.
* dh_installinit: Ditto.
[ Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues ]
* autoscripts/postinst-init-tmpfiles: Only pass `--root` to systemd
when `DPKG_ROOT` is present (as `--root=/` is different from
omitting `--root` entirely).
* autoscripts/postinst-sysusers: Ditto
debhelper (13.9) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Gioele Barabucci ]
* d/control: Provide dh-sequence-installsysusers.
[ Andreas Hübner ]
* debhelper.pod: Add missing word "variables".
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix in addsubstvar where a value was added when
it should not have been. (Closes: #1015263)
debhelper (13.8) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_perl: Fix incorrect binary versioning caused by a regression
in 13.3. Thanks to Niko Tyni for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #997961)
* d/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.6.1 - no changes required.
* root_sequence.pm: Run `dh_installsysusers` before
`dh_installtmpfiles` (only affects compat 14 or later). Thanks
to Nicholas Brown for the suggestion. (Closes: #1011099)
* autoscripts/postinst-init-tmpfiles: Remove runtime check on the
system having systemd as init system.
* dh_installtmpfiles: Replace runtime check on the system running
under systemd in generated `postinst` script with a dependency
on `systemd | systemd-tmpfiles` added to `${misc:Depends}`.
Thanks to Guilhem Moulin for the suggestion. (Closes: #1013969)
* dh_installsystemd: Ditto.
* dh_installinit: Ditto.
* debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.pod: Correct description for
the addition of dh_installsysusers in compat 14.
* meson.pm: Use `meson install` instead of `ninja install` for
dh_auto_install in compat 14. Thanks to Andrea Pappacoda for
the suggestion. (Closes: #1006805)
[ Max-Julian Pogner ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Remove double semi-colon. (Closes: #1010591)
* Dh_Lib.pm: _strip_spaces now explicitly returns undef on undef
argument.
(Closes: #1010594)
[ Andrea Pappacoda ]
* cmake.pm: Set FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED to true. This
ensures that the `FetchContent` module does not attempt to
use internet connection.
[ Vagrant Cascadian ]
* debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.pod: Update documentation
for compat 14 change. (Closes: #1011404)
[ Ferenc Wágner ]
* debhelper.pod: Correct link to the new upgrade checklist.
(Closes: #1012777)
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* dh_installman: Avoid false positive language detection on
shared libs.
[ Translations ]
* Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro)
(Closes: #1011256)
debhelper (13.7.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* debhelper.pod: Fix several typos. Thanks to Guillem Jover
for pointing them out and proposing corrections.
* dh_installalternatives: Correct a file check that caused
false-positive rejections of valid alternatives files. Thanks to
Hiroyuki YAMAMORI for reporting the bug and providing an initial
patch. (Closes: #1009844)
debhelper (13.7) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_installalternatives: Improve validation of alternative files to
catch some "obvious" copy-waste mistakes.
* dh: Invoke dh_installalternatives after dh_link in compat 14 or
later. Thanks to Colin Watson for the suggestion.
(Closes: #1002800)
* cmake.pm: Drop -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=on in compat v14. Thanks to
Vagrant Cascadian for the suggestion and the investigative work on
this topic. (Closes: #1004939)
* debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.pod: New file.
* debhelper.pod: Move list of supported compat levels and the related
upgrade checklist into debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.pod.
This means you now need `man 7 debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist`
to see the upgrade checklist.
* dh_installdebconf: Support -D/--define command line parameters
(mirroring those from dh_installdeb).
* Dh_Lib.pm: Cope with "?=" as assignment operator in substvars files
to be future proof with (possible) planned addition of "optional
substvars. At the moment, debhelper will still always use "=" when
adding a substvar but it will now preserve "?=" operator if an
existing substvar is modified.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* autoconf.pm: Add support for autotest test suites by passing the
TESTSUITEFLAGS environment variable to `make test`.
[ Dave Jones ]
* Rewrite handling of stop services to use the `preinst` when using
--no-restart-after-upgrade. This fixes a regression caused by
the fix for #989155. (Closes: #994204)
[ Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues ]
* dh_installmenu: Respect DPKG_ROOT when checking for update-menus.
Note this implementation assumes update-menus is present both
inside and outside the chroot to activate. If it is absent on
either side, the update-menus call is skipped.
[ Gioele Barabucci ]
* dh_installsysusers: Invoke systemd-sysusers even when DPKG_ROOT
is set (relying on `--root`).
* dh_installpam: In compat 14, install pam snippets into
`/usr/lib/pam.d` instead of `/etc/pam.d`. Remember to remove
(now) obsolete conffiles when you bump to compat 14.
[ Andreas Hübner ]
* debhelper.pod: Correct spelling of DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.
