* r420: big monsta changesjoey2001-02-09

* r412: * Bah, reverted that last change. It isn't useful becausejoey2001-01-28
| | | | dpkg-buildpackage reads the real control file and gets confused.
* r410: * Added the ability to make debhelper read a different file thanjoey2001-01-25
| | | | | debian/control as the control file. This is very useful for various and sundry things, all Evil, most involving kernel packages.
* r401: * typo: Closes, #78567joey2000-12-02

* r398: * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:joey2000-11-28
| | | | | | | | - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc, begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249

* r378: * dh_movefiles: fixed a regexp quoting problem with --sourcedir.joey2000-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Closes: #75434 * Whoops, I think I overwrote bod's NMU with 2.2.15. Let's merge those in: . debhelper (2.1.14-0.1) unstable; urgency=low . * Non-maintainer upload (thanks Joey). * dh_installchangelogs, dh_installdocs: allow dangling symlinks for $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE (useful for multi-binary packages). Closes: #53381 . -- Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> Fri, 20 Oct 2000 18:11:59 +1100 . I also added some documentation to debhelper.1 about this, and removed the TODO entry about it.
* r375: * Typo, Closes: #72932joey2000-10-02
| | | | | | | * dh_makeshlibs: follow symlinks to files when looking for files that are shared libraries. This allows it to catch files like "liballeg-3.9.33.so" that are not in the *.so.* form it looks for, but that doe have links to them that are in the right form. Closes: #72938
* r367: * debian/package.filename.arch is now checked for first, beforejoey2000-08-21
| | | | | | | debian/package.filename. Closes: #69453 * Added a section to debhelper(1) about files in debian/ used by debhelper, which documents this. Removed scattered references to debian/filename from all over the man pages.
* r362: * Minor man page updates as Overfiend struggles with debhelperizing Xjoey2000-07-21

* r359: * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list ofjoey2000-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That development stalled after only the most important change was made, although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree. In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without notice until v2 is complete. * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages; debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone switch to v2. * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default. * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used. * Added a few notes for people still using v1. * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

* r266: * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.joey1999-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution, dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though. * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732. * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html, to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case. * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.
* r265: * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are ↵joey1999-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | specific to a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command anymore. * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique. * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's. * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package> targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper commands. * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.
