Description: 
 debhelper  - helper programs for debian/rules
Closes: 109642 166320 206765 448094 462937 467100 468959 470913 471196 477391
Changes: 
 debhelper (7.0.2ubuntu1) 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.
   * Makefile: Escape '$' in $(shell ) call, so that it is passed correctly to
     grep. Forwarded to Debian #478475.
 .
 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.
