Debian Changelog dh-make-perl (0.75-1)

2012

dh-make-perl (0.75-1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Damyan Ivanov ]
   * setup Git repository in --vcs=git even without --pkg-perl
   * when setting up Git repository, add 'origin' remote only in --pkg-perl
     mode
   * fail gracefuly if pristine-tar is not available
   * add libfile-which-perl to (build-)dependencies
   * fix typo in --pristine-tar description
   * document the change of the default value of --vcs from 'svn' to 'git'
   * Apply patch from Dima Kogan, avoiding confusion when the version string is
     not quoted (RT#71224)
   * META:
     + add explicit configure_requires on Module::Build
     + add repository URL
     + add keywords
   * remove t/contents/wnpp.cache (added by mistake)
   * really test the missing version quotes fix
   * when warning about missing apt-file, state the minimum required version
 
   [ gregor herrmann ]
   * Swap order of alternative (build) dependencies after the perl 5.14
     transition.
   * DhMakePerl/Command/make.pm: setup_dir(): change back to original
     directory after CPAN.pm changes it; thanks to Dima Kogan
     (cf. RT#71708).
   * Fix POD: --pkg-perl sets Vcs-Git, of course.
 
   [ Dima Kogan ]
   * Updated Dima Kogan's email address
   * When making recursively, I build/install this package only AFTER I
     built/installed its dependencies
   * find_debs_for_modules() no longer reports installed-but-not-in-aptfile
     packages as missing
   * when installing a package, $arch now comes from the control file
   (Closes: #651343)
 
   [ gregor herrmann ]
   * Treat META.json like META.yml (i.e. rm/unlink/ignore it).
   * DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging: don't initialize CPAN if --no-network
     is set. Otherwise t/cache.t fails because CPAN tries to update its
     config and goes out hunting for CPAN mirrors.
   * t/dists.t: allow multiple years in Copyright line. "refresh" adds the
     current year to the years of copyright. In other words: This was a
     "New Year's Bug". Closes: #655805

     format change in Storable. Also, use platform-independent storage.

     already 5.10. Same for apt-file and 2.1.0.
 
   [ Nicholas Bamber ]
   * Added logic to parse special email change directives in the changelog
     so that the refresh command respects email changes (Closes: #609409)
   * Added myself to Uploaders
   * Various fixes for t/dists.t:
     - Added fix for .svn at the end of a filename rather than the middle
     - Second /dev/null check was attempting to diff an undefined value
     - Setting PERL5LIB (unsatisfactory work around for system(dh-make-perl) )

dh-make-perl (0.70-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * dh --buildsystem=buildsystem needs at least debhelper (>= 7.3.7), add this
     rule to DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging.
   * Bump versioned Build-Depends on debhelper to (>= 7.3.7) as needed
     for --buildsystem.
   * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first

   * Added "basepkgs" option to specify which packages should be
     considered base
   * The list of base modules is no longer specified by hand - Base
     packages are now queried and this list is generated from it.
   * Pragmas and base modules are handled the same way - There is no real
     way to differentiate them... And they were used interchangeably, so
     there ;-)
   * Homogeneized the usage of dh_* helpers in the different cases of
     generated debian/rules
 
   [ Damyan Ivanov ]
   * current watch file version is 3, this is what we generate too
     stricter debian/watch patterns, omit capturing file extension
   * Move tests from install to build target
   * better explaination in binary-arch target for arch-indep packages and in
     binary-indep target of arch-dep packages why the target is empty
   * Add new option "--pkg-perl" which adds some functionality useful when
     packages are created for the Debian Perl Group. Currently adds XS-Vcs-*
     fields to debian/control and sets the Maintainer and Uploaders fields
     accordingly

   * Moved all the options received from the user to %opts, for better
     code readability
   * When the module to be packaged declares a dependency on a specific
     Perl version, reflect it in the output dependency/build dependency
     information, rather than complaining that no such module exists
 
   [ gregor herrmann ]
   * Add "It was downloaded from ..." to debian/copyright if called with
     "--cpan $modulename".
   * Define $dir before using it in "$modulepm =" in
     extract_name_ver_from_makefile().
   * Replace q[quotes] by "quotes" when parsing Makefile.PL in
     extract_name_ver_from_makefile().
   * Actually use command line option "--desc".
 
   [ Damyan Ivanov ]
   * Added packaging copyright/licensing to the generated debian/copyright

     (recommended but not depended upon) is not present (Closes: #428415)

     crafted and incomplete - we need a better solution!

   * Trimmed unneeded whitespace from generated files - Thanks to Kees
     Cook <kees@outflux.net> for the patch! (Closes: #411282)
   * Patched regex for finding the module name when unde Module::Install,
     allowing for whitespace between the "name" string and the module
     name. Thanks to Marc Chantreux for the patch (and the patience ;-) )
   * Replaced the (now deprecated) call to the external program 822-date
     for date -R
   * Started reorganizing the code - All bare open() calls are now
     handled through IO::File; shuffled some functions around so the code
     is more followable
   * Added --core-ok option to allow building core modules (Closes:

     package name :-/ ) - Thanks to Hilko Bengen for pointing it out.
     (Closes: #400400)
   * No longer dies when building Module::Install modules - It now asks
     the user to manually specify the dependencies. (Closes: #396536)
   * Can now specify via command line depends, build-depends and build-
     depends-indep
   * A bit of basic cleaning, trying to deuglify this very much love-

   * Fixed "Use of uninitialized value" warnings in the default override file.
