* 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
* r383: * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, asjoey2000-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything. * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability. * dh_suidregister will be deprecated soon -- dpkg-statoverride is a much better way.

* 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.
* 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).
