[ Niels Thykier ] * debhelper.7: Add a ~ to the suggested Build-Depends to ensure backports also work for debhelper with single integer versions. Thanks to Trent W. Buck for the suggestion. (Closes: #894666) * makefile.pm: Use -Oline with make. This avoids make mistaking a target name for a value for -O and should make build time outs less likely for "long" targets. (Closes: #894573) * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix bug that make debhelper trip on packages with the version "0". Thanks to Chris Lamb for reporting the bug plus debugging the issue. (Closes: #894895) * Buildsystem.pm: Rewrite to support build systems that generate build files for another build system (without using inheritance). This enables generator build systems to have multiple backends. * cmake.pm: Support ninja as alternative backend (by using the build system cmake+ninja). Thanks to Kyle Edwards for the suggestion. (Closes: #895044) * meson.pm: Rewrite as a generator build system with ninja as the only backend. * debhelper.7: Recommend packagers to use "debian/." over "debian/" in most cases. Thanks to Johannes Schauer for the suggestion. * dh_usrlocal: Implement a simple guard for directories that will likely cause issues in the shell snippets. * dh_usrlocal: Use the new rules from Debian Policy 4.1.4 to determine the default ownership and mode for directories. * d/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.1.4. Beyond the dh_usrlocal change listed above, no changes were required. . [ Nicolas Boulenguez ] * dh_installxfonts: Fix typo that causes a misc:Depends on non-existing xfont-utils. (Closes: #894835) * dh_installwm.1: Document --all. (Closes: #895011) * dh_usrlocal: Fix bug where the generated prerm script generated by dh_usrlocal could remove a directory directly in /usr/local. (Closes: #894549) . [ Mattia Rizzolo ] * Lower the version restrictions on dpkg and dpkg-dev. They are not needed anymore, as R³ support is not implied anymore, but requires an environment variable to be passed. Checksums-Sha1:

It may have happened with squeeze, because it shipped with 8.0.0, and back then people put all of '8.0.0' in the >=, instead of just >=8, but that's it. A lot of people noticed this case because the 11.1 version couldn't be backported, and the backport couldn't be updated until now. I've just uploaded 11.1.6~bpo9+1, so now nobody will notice anymore for a long time again :) -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `- signature.asc Description: PGP signature --- End Message ---
