debhelper 10.4ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

debhelper (10.4ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
      level 7. This floods packages with huge upstream changelogs which
      are unnecessary on an installed system.
    - Restore maintainer ability to override ddeb compression
    - Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
      + Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
      + Mirror udeb code in dh_builddeb to allow us to alter file extension.
      + Set dbgsym Package-Type to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
      + Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.18.23ubuntu3) so the above works correctly.

debhelper (10.4) experimental; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * meson.pm: Pass --wrap-mode=nodownload to meson (requires meson
    0.40-1 or later).
  * dh_install: Fix initialized warning when --sourcedir is absent
    on the cmd-line.
  * dh_missing: Accept --sourcedir (given it is passed by dh_install).
    (Closes: #862049)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix a bug in pkgfile that caused dh to skip helpers
    that had configuration files.  Thanks to Michael Biebl for finding
    and reporting.  (Closes: #863387)

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * dh_fixperms: Fix regression where dh_fixperms would fail to correct
    permissions because it used an invalid find expression.
    (Closes: #862003)

debhelper (10.3) experimental; urgency=medium

  [ Helmut Grohne ]
  * Supply PKG_CONFIG for cross compilation with the makefile buildsystem.
    (Closes: #853881)
  * Disable stripping during dh_auto_* in makefile buildsystem in compat 11.
    (Closes: #844077)
  * Remove explicit "Multi-Arch: no" stanzas as they are auto-rejected.
    (Closes: #857028)

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Make getpackages() produce the correct result independently
    of the order of the fields in a given paragraph of debian/control.
    (Closes: #847138)
  * dh_installman: Report installed manpages so the new dh_missing tool
    is informed about them.
  * dh_install: Deprecate --list-missing/--fail-missing in favor of the
    new dh_missing tool.  The options will be removed in compat 11.
  * dh: Run dh_missing by default (in no op mode).
  * dh_prep: Clean up generated files so they work like other temporary
    debhelper files.
  * dh_installinit: Clarify that it might make sense to skip dh_installinit
    for a package if it provides a systemd service but no sysvinit file.
    (Closes: #800043)
  * dh_installinit: Deprecate --no-restart-on-upgrade in favor of the new
    name --no-stop-on-upgrade, which does the same thing but is less
    likely to be confused with --no-restart-after-upgrade and is more
    descriptive of what it actually does.  Thanks to  Simon McVittie and
    Michael Biebl for the help.  (Closes: #837528)
  * debian/rules: Only apply the --no-parallel to dh_auto_test.  The rest
    of debhelper's build appears to work fine with --parallel.
  * dh_systemd_enable.1: Clarify that --no-enable does not control
    whether a service is started and that dh_systemd_start is the tool
    that does that.  (Closes: #770281)
  * autoconf.pm: Set --runstatedir to "/run" in compat 11.  Thanks to
    Michael Biebl for the suggestion.
  * dh_fixperms: Refactor to reduce the constant overhead a bit and
    extract some patterns into data list.  The latter hopefully reducing
    the need for tweaking dh_fixperms' logic.
  * dh_installdocs: Document that --link-doc has limitations on source and
    target package plus that compat 10 will reject unsupported
    combinations.
  * dh_gencontrol: Avoid adding Homepage fields to dbgsym packages.  Avoids
    non-overridable warnings from lintian when there is an issue in the
    homepage field of the original binary.  (Closes: #812248)
  * dh_strip: Fix a check that could cause dh_strip to generate dbgsym
    packages when it should not.
  * dh: Stop loading python-support in all compat levels as dh_pysupport
    has been removed in stretch.
  * python_support.pm: Remove the content with a deprecation warning as
    the module can no longer do anything.
  * dh_installman.1: Improve the manpage to clarify the scope of
    dh_installman and provide an examples.  (Closes: LP: #184156)
  * makefile.pm: Disable parallel installation if libtool is present to
    avoid a race-condition in automake when using libtool.
    (Closes: #861627)

  [ Steven Chamberlain ]
  * When cross-compiling for GNU/kFreeBSD host systems, set
    CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME to the correct value "kFreeBSD", not "FreeBSD".
    (Closes: #856688)

  [ Felipe Sateler ]
  * dh_systemd_enable.1: Improve the wording of the documentation for
    the --no-enable option.  (Closes: #844602)

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * Add support for meson + ninja build systems.  (Closes: #795253)

  [ Michael Stapelberg ]
  * dh_missing: New tool to handle --list-missing/--fail-missing.
    (Closes: #415396, #616070)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Introduce a log_installed_files sub that can be used
    to inform dh_missing that a given file has been installed.

  [ Johannes Schauer ]
  * dh_link.1: Improve the documentation and use ln(1) as a reference
    to make it simpler for people, who are used to the terms from ln.
    (Closes: #860091)
