Change Logs

* Thu Jan 05 2023 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 13.11.4:
  * meson.pm: Pass --destdir to `meson install`.  (Closes: #1027014)
  * 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
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Remove unused third parameter from install_dh_config_file
  * makefile.pm: Provide hook for subclasses to reuse cross-build support
  * 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.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix typo in warning message about dherroron
* Mon Dec 12 2022 Jan Baier <jbaier@suse.com>
- Update to version 13.11.1
  * dh_installchangelogs: Ensure that at least four old entries are preserved
    (Closes: #1021467)
  * meson.pm: Use `meson setup` in the configure step rather than just `meson`.
  * 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.
  * Install `installsysusers` sequence (to match the provide).
  * 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.
  * 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.
  * 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)
  * 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)
  * Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro)
    (Closes: #1019231)
  * 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.
  * 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
* Mon Aug 15 2022 Jan Baier <jbaier@suse.com>
- Update to version 13.9
  * d/control: Provide dh-sequence-installsysusers.
  * debhelper.pod: Add missing word "variables".
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix in addsubstvar where a value was added when
    it should not have been.  (Closes: #1015263)
* Thu Aug 04 2022 Jan Baier <jbaier@suse.com>
- Update to version 13.8
  * 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)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Remove double semi-colon.  (Closes: #1010591)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: _strip_spaces now explicitly returns undef on undef
    argument.
    (Closes: #1010594)
  * cmake.pm: Set FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED to true.  This
    ensures that the `FetchContent` module does not attempt to
    use internet connection.
  * debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.pod: Update documentation
    for compat 14 change.  (Closes: #1011404)
  * debhelper.pod: Correct link to the new upgrade checklist.
    (Closes: #1012777)
  * dh_installman: Avoid false positive language detection on
    shared libs.
  * Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro)
    (Closes: #1011256)
* Mon May 02 2022 Jan Baier <jbaier@suse.com>
- Update to version 13.7.1
  * 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)
* Mon May 02 2022 Jan Baier <jbaier@suse.com>
- Update to version 13.7
  * 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.
  * autoconf.pm: Add support for autotest test suites by passing the
    TESTSUITEFLAGS environment variable to `make test`.
  * 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)
  * 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.
  * 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.
  * debhelper.pod: Correct spelling of DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.
* Mon Jan 03 2022 Jan Baier <jbaier@suse.com>
- Update to version 13.6
  * dh_assistant: Avoid creating `debian/.debhelper` when the
    which-build-system sub command is invoked.  Thanks to
    Jelmer Vernooij for spotting that bug.
  * dh_assistant: Add new active-compat-level command, which
    outputs information about which compat level is declared
    and active.  It also tells how the compat level was
    declared.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Add new function, get_non_binnmu_date_epoch,
    only needed for dh_strip_nondeterminism.
  * dh_installcron: Add support for `cron.yearly` packaging
    file.  Thanks to Martin-Éric Racine for the suggestion.
    (Closes: #1000363)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Remove support for compat 5 and 6.
  * debhelper.pod,debhelper-obsolete-compat.pod: Update to
    reflect the new status for compat 5 and 6.
  * dh: Add missing _ in execute_after example in POD.
  * dh_compress: Exclude .woff and .woff2 by default.
  * Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro)
    (Closes: #1000719)
