[Bug 812120] Re: Please merge debhelper 8.9.4 from Debian unstable

[Daniel Holbach]

Thanks a lot for your work on this. From a sponsoring perspective this
is well done, and while the Debian changelog (snippet below) indicates
only bug fixes, it'd be good to know if this fixes any specific issues
in Ubuntu to make the decision for the release team easier. Ahmed: can
you comment?

8.9.1 → 8.9.4:
------------------
debhelper (8.9.4) unstable; urgency=low

   * dh: The --before --after --until and --remaining options are deprecated.
     Use override targets instead.
   * Assume that the package can be cleaned (i.e. the build directory can be
     removed) as long as it is built out-of-source tree and can be configured.
     This is useful for derivative buildsystems which generate Makefiles.
     (Modestas Vainius) Closes: #601590
   * dh_auto_test: Run cmake tests in parallel when allowed by
     DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. (Modestas Vainius) Closes: #587885
   * dpkg-buildflags is only used to set environment in v9, to avoid
     re-breaking packages that were already broken a first time by
     dpkg-buildpackage unconditionally setting the environment, and
     worked around that by unsetting variables in the rules file.
     (Example: numpy)

debhelper (8.9.3) unstable; urgency=low

   * dh: Remove obsolete optimisation hack that caused sequence breakage
     in v9 with a rules file with an explict build target. Closes: #634784

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh at debian.org>  Tue, 19 Jul 2011 23:26:43 -0400

debhelper (8.9.2) unstable; urgency=low

   * dh: Support make 3.82. Closes: #634385

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh at debian.org>  Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:55:24 -0400

debhelper (8.9.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Typo fixes. Closes: #632662
   * dh: In v9, do not enable any python support commands. Closes: #634106
   * Now the QT4 version of qmake can be explicitly selected by passing
     --buildsystem=qmake_qt4. Closes: #566840
   * Remove debhelper.log in compat level 1. Closes: #634155
   * dh_builddeb: Build in parallel when allowed by DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
     Closes: #589427 (Thanks, Gergely Nagy and Kari Pahula)

Title:
  Please merge debhelper 8.9.4 from Debian unstable

Status in “debhelper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
    * Merge with Debian (LP: #812120); remaining changes:
      - dh_installinit: Add --upstart-only and --onlyscripts-upstart modes.
      - Add various autoscripts for above: postinst-upstart,
        postinst-upstart-replace, postinst-upstart-restart,
        prerm-upstart, prerm-upstart-norestart, preinst-removeconffile.
      - dh_installudev: Change default init.d symlink priority to 40.
      - dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat level
        7. This floods packages with huge upstream changelogs which take
        precious CD space.
      - add dh_apparmor and autoscripts
      - debian/rules: set executable bit for dh_apparmor before actually running
        dh build, that is in order to get the manpage built for dh_apparmor.
      - dh_installinit: drop redundant definition of -O.
      - debian/control: dpkg-dev dependency needs to be on 1.16.0~ubuntu4 for
        multiarch, not just 1.16.0~.
