--- Begin Message ---Package: debhelper Version: 11 Severity: wishlist Hi, the existing dh override mechanism is perfect to do things like: override_dh_strip: dh_strip -Xfoo It is less optimal for adding (rather than overriding) commands: override_dh_fixperms: dh_fixperms chmod 4755 debian/foo/usr/bin/foo This has several problems: * it's ugly because it repeats "dh_fixperms", and it's also error-prone because the explicit dh_fixperms might be forgotten (#884419, #884815, #884817), * it doesn't use the global dh options passed to dh $@ unless they are repeated here, * it defeats parallelization (#881175), * it might or might not work well with override_dh_*-(arch|indep). (Examples directly from dh(1)). I'd like to see after_dh_* as alternative to override_dh_*: after_dh_fixperms: chmod 4755 debian/foo/usr/bin/foo This looks much cleaner to me. (In fact, the reason I'm filing this wishlist bug is that I'm always twitching a bit when I have to repeat dh_foo in the override_dh_foo incantation.) Thanks for considering, Christoph

[ Niels Thykier ] * debhelper.7: Clarify how DH_OPTIONS works and that some third-party tools may ignore it if they do not support it. Thanks to Andrej Shadura for reporting the issue over IRC. * doc/PROGRAMMING: Introduce a section on the NOOP PROMISE comment. * dh: In compat 13, skip calls to hook and override targets for dh_auto_test, dh_dwz and dh_strip. Thanks to Mike Hommey for suggesting it. (Closes: #568897) * Dh_Getopt.pm: Remove support for "--ignore". No package uses it any more. For most parts, it has been replaced by the "3.0 (quilt)" source format. * debian/changelog: Clarify that substitutions change in 12.8 only apply to the maintscript file (and not maintainer scripts) for dh_installdeb. * debhelper.7: Improve text in compat 13 section. * autoconf.pm: Only consider "configure" as an autoconf script if it is a file (and not a directory). Thanks to Andrius Merkys for reporting the bug and providing a patch. (Closes: #949396) * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.5.0 - no changes required. * dh_shlibdeps: Pass "--" in front of filenames passed to file(1). Thanks to Christoph Biedl for the suggestion. (Closes: #949538) * dh_strip: Ditto * dh.1: Improve documentation for override targets and include a section on the new hook target. (Closes: #885994) * Dh_Lib.pm: Make it possible to disable the command logging by passing "inhibit_log => 1" to the init sub. Furthermore, the logging is now only enabled when init is called (and not disabled by that option or inhibit_log()). This prevents Dh_Lib from triggering a log write just by being loaded. * dh: Refactor addon loading. As a side-effect, dh no longer leaks as many functions into the scope of addons. Addons depending on the previous behaviour may now fail due to calls to undefined subroutintes and will need to be fixed. * dh_installinitramfs.1: Correct the name of localized versions of dh_installinitramfs so that man can find them. . [ Thorsten Glaser ] * dh_auto_*: Make it possible to disable build systems by passing --buildsystem=none. Previously this would require overriding each and every dh_auto_* tool.
