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. + + -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:55:49 -0400 + +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. + + -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:16:19 -0400 + +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). + + -- Joey Hess Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:14:57 -0400 + +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 + + -- Joey Hess Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:43:31 -0400 + +debhelper (6.0.11) unstable; urgency=medium + + * dh_installman: man --recode transparently uncompresses compressed + pages.
