debhelper (12.10ubuntu1~ubuntu19.10.1~ppa1) eoan; urgency=medium
* No-change backport to eoan
debhelper (12.10ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
debhelper (12.10) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_installsystemd.1: Improve documentation about tmpfiles that
are now handled by dh_installtmpfiles in compat 13.
* dh_installtmpfiles: Prefer debian/package.tmpfiles over
debian/package.tmpfile, but accept the old path with a warning.
Thanks to Michael Biebl for suggesting the change.
* dh_strip: Automatically strip Link-Time Optimization (LTO)
symbols from static archives. The format is not stable between
compiler versions. Thanks to Matthias Klose for the
suggestion and for providing the exact options.
(Closes: #939656)
* dh: Tweak the command-skipping optimization to skip commands
in a few more cases when the command is known not to react to
command line options.
* dh,dh_installsytemd*: Work around broken NOOP promise caused by
dh_installsystemd* using nonstandard "package@" prefix for
pkgfiles. Thanks to Badreddin Aboubakr and Andy Caldwell for
reporting it. (Closes: #950723, #951819)
[ Nicholas Guriev ]
* cmake: Verbose autogen rules.
* cmake: Skip install all dependency with compatibility level 13 and
above.
[ Andy Caldwell ]
* dh_installsystemduser: Fix bug that prevented dh_installsystemduser
from installing parameterized services. (Closes: #951819)
[ Translations ]
* Update German translation (Chris Leick) (Closes: #951917)
debhelper (12.9ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym:
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
- dh_strip: Strip LTO sections unless --keep-lto is given.
debhelper (12.9) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* debhelper.7: Clarify how DH_OPTIONS works and that some
third-party tools may ignore it if they do not support
it. Thanks to Andrej Shadura for reporting the issue
over IRC.
* doc/PROGRAMMING: Introduce a section on the NOOP PROMISE
comment.
* dh: In compat 13, skip calls to hook and override targets
for dh_auto_test, dh_dwz and dh_strip. Thanks to
Mike Hommey for suggesting it. (Closes: #568897)
* Dh_Getopt.pm: Remove support for "--ignore". No package
uses it any more. For most parts, it has been replaced
by the "3.0 (quilt)" source format.
* debian/changelog: Clarify that substitutions change in
12.8 only apply to the maintscript file (and not
maintainer scripts) for dh_installdeb.
* debhelper.7: Improve text in compat 13 section.
* autoconf.pm: Only consider "configure" as an autoconf
script if it is a file (and not a directory). Thanks to
Andrius Merkys for reporting the bug and providing a
patch. (Closes: #949396)
* debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.5.0 - no
changes required.
* dh_shlibdeps: Pass "--" in front of filenames passed to
file(1). Thanks to Christoph Biedl for the suggestion.
(Closes: #949538)
* dh_strip: Ditto
* dh.1: Improve documentation for override targets and
include a section on the new hook target.
(Closes: #885994)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Make it possible to disable the command
logging by passing "inhibit_log => 1" to the init sub.
Furthermore, the logging is now only enabled when init
is called (and not disabled by that option or
inhibit_log()). This prevents Dh_Lib from triggering
a log write just by being loaded.
* dh: Refactor addon loading. As a side-effect, dh no
longer leaks as many functions into the scope of addons.
Addons depending on the previous behaviour may now fail
due to calls to undefined subroutintes and will need to
be fixed.
* dh_installinitramfs.1: Correct the name of localized
versions of dh_installinitramfs so that man can find
them.
[ Thorsten Glaser ]
* dh_auto_*: Make it possible to disable build systems by
passing --buildsystem=none. Previously this would
require overriding each and every dh_auto_* tool.
(Closes: #949635)
debhelper (12.8) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Simplify internal loggning of which commands
have been run. We are no longer interested in whether
it was an override target or not.
* dh: Support "execute_before_X" and "execute_after_X"
targets in debian/rules. This is useful for injecting
commands before or after the command "X" that dh runs.
Note this feature requires compat 10 or later due to
internal limitations in debhelper. Attempts to use
it in compat 9 will trigger an error. Thanks to
Christoph Berg for the suggestion. (Closes: #885994)
* dh: Detect and warn about override and hook targets
for known obsolete commands. In compat 13, this will
be an error instead of a warning.
* dh: Reset umask to 0022 as a consistent default value.
Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for the suggestion.
(Closes: #944691)
* dh_missing: The --fail-missing parameter is now default
in compat 13. Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the
suggestion. (Closes: #917368)
* dh_installtmpfiles: New command extracted from
dh_installsystem that will handle tmpfiles.d
configuration. Thanks to Michael Biebl for the
suggestion. (Closes: #944478)
* dh_installsystemd: In compat 13, this command will no
longer manage tmpfiles.d configuration.
* dh: Run dh_installtmpfiles by default in compat 13.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Emit "error" and "warning" with error and
warning messages. Thanks to Paul Wise for the
suggestion. (Closes: #906723)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Support colored output for warnings and
errors (enabled by default). The colors can be
controlled by setting DH_COLORS or DPKG_COLORS. The
latter will also affect dpkg-related tools.
Note: NO_COLOR is respected in the absence of
DH_COLORS and DPKG_COLORS.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Support substitution variables in files
handled by filearray and filedoublearray in compat 13.
This also applies to executable configuration files.
As the substitution occurs after splitting the files
into tokens, it can be used to include spaces in the
tokens (often file names). (Closes: #198507)
* dh_install: Support substitution configuration files.
* dh_clean: Ditto.
* dh_installcatalogs: Ditto.
* dh_installdeb: Ditto (debian/*.maintscripts only).
* dh_installdirs: Ditto.
* dh_installdocs: Ditto.
* dh_installexamples: Ditto.
* dh_installinfo: Ditto.
* dh_installman: Ditto.
* dh_installwm: Ditto.
* dh_link: Ditto.
* dh_missing: Ditto.
* dh_ucf: Ditto.
* debian/rules: Remove override for dh_missing as the
--fail-missing parameter is default now.
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* Warn about missing perl-xs-dev for perl_* buildsystems.
debhelper (12.7.3ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym:
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
- dh_strip: Strip LTO sections unless --keep-lto is given.
debhelper (12.7.3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_perl: Use perl:any for perl module in addition to perl
programs. Thanks to Helmut Grohne and Niko Tyni for the
suggestion and analysis. (Closes: #946655)
* dh_gencontrol: Clear the "Built-Using" flag for dbgsym
packages. It is irrelevant as the original binary will
have the field plus the field can cause lintian warnings.
(Closes: #947506)
* lintian-overrides: Override no-dh-sequencer as it is a
false-positive that lintian cannot be expected to know.
[ Debian Janitor ]
* Fix day-of-week for changelog entry 4.0.0.
debhelper (12.7.2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh: Skip conditional dh sequence addons in the clean target.
This avoids FTBFS with conditional addons where the
build-dependency is not satisfied. (Closes: #944225)
* meson.pm: Fix bug where dh_auto_test would break horribly
under compat 13 due to an uninitialized variable. Thanks to
Benjamin Jacobs for reporting the issue. (Closes: #945149)
* dh_installman: Fix non-deterministic behaviour when there
multiple definitions of the same manpage in a package.
In compat 13, this is resolved by aborting with an error.
In older compat levels, dh_installman will deterministically
pick a canonical version (via sort) along with emitting a
warning. Thanks to Colin Watson for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #943705)
* dh_auto_*: In compat 13+, reset HOME and XDG_* environment
variables. Some are cleared and some are set to a writable
directory that persist until dh_clean. Thanks to
Simon McVittie for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #942111)
* dh_auto_*: As a side-effect of the above, debhelper in compat
13+ no longer trips a FTBFS in sbuild for meson packages when
ccache is installed but not configured/used explicitly.
Thanks to Simon McVittie for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #933799)
* d/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.4.1 - no changes
required.
[ Andrius Merkys ]
* debhelper.pod: Document changes to the gradle third-party
build system in compat 13.
[ Translations ]
* Update German translation (Chris Leick) (Closes: #943853)
debhelper (12.7.1ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym:
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
- dh_strip: Strip LTO sections unless --keep-lto is given.
debhelper (12.7.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Colin Watson ]
* dh_installman: Correctly handle compressed manpages when
dh_installman uses man-recode. (Closes: #943376)
debhelper (12.7ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym:
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
- dh_strip: Strip LTO sections unless --keep-lto is given.
debhelper (12.7) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]:
* dh_installman: Avoid error message when man-db is not installed
(only occurs in debhelper's own build as man-db is a mandatory
dependency).
* dh_installman: Use man-recode(1) when available to massively
speed up re-encoding performance for any package with a non-
trivial amount of manpages. Thanks to Robert Luberda for
reporting the issue and Colin Watson for writing man-recode
(Closes: #933576)
* debhelper.pod: Actively discourage compat 11 as it has an
issue that causes services not to start correctly in all cases
(e.g. install, remove-but-not-purge, install again), which
cannot be fixed.
* dh_auto_*: Support a new --reload-all-buildenv-variables
option for resetting the cache (of e.g. dpkg-buildflags).
This is needed by e.g. parted which does two builds with
different CFLAGS.
* dh_makeshlibs: Suggest/Document that --no-add-udeb can be
relevant for some udebs where the shared library for the udeb
is embedded in a different package (e.g. the main udeb
package). Thanks to Nicolas Braud-Santoni for reporting the
issue. (Closes: #942454)
* meson.pm: Fix invalid call under compat 13. Thanks to
Jeremy Bicha for testing it. (Closes: #942690)
[ Helmut Grohne ]:
* cmake buildsystem: Fix CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR for 32bit arms.
(Closes: #941245)
[ Niko Tyni ]
* Basic support cross building XS modules:
+ perl_makemaker: run Makefile.PL with host arch Config.pm
+ perl_build: run Build.PL and Build with host arch Config.pm
+ dh_perl: scan host arch include directories for Perl plugins
