* dh_strip: Sort build-ids to make the Build-Ids header
  reproducible.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Respect --no-act in autotrigger, thanks to
  Andreas Henriksson and Helmut Grohne for reporting
  the issue. (Closes: #800919)

[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh/dh_auto_*: Apply patch from Eduard Sanou to define
  SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. (Closes: #791823)
* cmake.pm: Add better cross-compile support for cmake.
  Heavily based on a patch from Helmut Grohne.
  (Closes: #794396)
* cmake.pm: Pass -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc and
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LOCALSTATEDIR=/var to cmake. Thanks to
  Felix Geyer, Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer and
  Michael Terry for the assistance plus suggestions.
  (Closes: #719148)
* dh_installinit: Quote directory name before using it in
  a regex.
* dh_installinit: Create script snippts for tmpfiles.d
  files even if the package has no sysvinit script or
  explicit debian/<package>.service file.
  (Closes: #795519)
* dh_makeshlibs: Revert passing -X to ldconfig in compat 10
  after talking with the glibc maintainer. This is not the
  right place to make this change.
* d/control: Remove the homepage field.
* dh: Make dh_strip_nondeterminism optional, so debhelper
  does not need to build-depend on it.
* dh_gencontrol/dh_builddeb: Temporarily stop building ddebs
  for udebs as dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-deb does not agree
  the default file extension for these.
* dh_builddeb: Generate udebs with the correct filename even
  when "-V" is passed to dpkg-gencontrol. This relies on
  dpkg-deb getting everything but the extension correct
  (see #575059, #452273 for why it does not produce the
   correct extesion).
  (Closes: #516721, #677353, #672282)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Drop now unused "udeb_filename" subroutine.
* dh_strip.1: Correct the documentation about ddebs to
  reflect the current implementation (rather than the
  desired "state"). Thanks to Jakub Wilk for the report.
  (Closes: #797002)
* dh_fixperms: Reset permissions to 0644 for .js, .css,
  .jpeg, .jpg, .png, and .gif files. Thanks to Ernesto
  Hernández-Novich for the suggestion. (Closes: #595097)
* dh_install: Read debian/not-installed if present as a
  list of files that are deliberately not installed.
  Files listed here will not cause dh_install to complain
  with --list-missing. Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for the
  suggestion. (Closes: #436240)
* Dh_Lib: Cherry-pick patch from Chris Lamb to only read
  the latest changelog entry when determing the
  SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
* debhelper.7: Provide a better example of how to insert
  the debhelper maintainer script snippets into a maintainer
  script written in Perl. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for
  reporting the issues. (Closes: #797904)
* dh_shlibdeps: The "-L" option can now be passed multiple
  times with different package names. Thanks to Tristan
  Schmelcher for the suggestion. (Closes: #776103)
* dh,Buildsytems: In compat 10, default to --parallel.
* dh,Buildsytems: Accept "--no-parallel" to disable
  parallel builds. It is effectively the same as using
  --max-parallel=1 but may be more intuitive to some people.
* dh_makeshlibs: Use a noawait trigger to invoke ldconfig
  rather maintscripts.
* dh_installdirs.1: Add a note that many packages will work
  fine without calling dh_installdirs. (Closes: #748993)
* dh_compress: Apply patch from Rafael Kitover to support
  passing files to dh_compress that would have been
  compressed anyway. (Closes: #794898)
* Dh_Lib: Apply patch from Gergely Nagy to make debhelper
  export "DH_CONFIG_ACT_ON_PACKAGES" when executing an
  executable debhelper config file. This is intended to
  assist dh-exec (etc.) in figuring what packages are
  acted on. (Closes: #698054)
* dh_movefiles: Expand globs in arguments passed in all
  compat levels (and not just compat 1 and 2).
  (Closes: #800332)
* dh_installinit: Clearly document that --onlyscripts
  should generally be used with -p (or similar) to limit
  the number of affected packages. (Closes: #795193)

[ Paul Tagliamonte ]
* dh_gencontrol: Put debug debs back in the "debug" section.
* dh_strip/dh_gencontrol: Add a space separated list of
  build-ids in the control file of packages containing
  deattached debug symbols.

[ Andrew Ayer ]
* d/control: Depend on dh-strip-nondeterminism
* dh: Call dh_strip_nondeterminism during build.
  (Closes: #759895)

[ Colin Watson ]
* Buildsystem.pm: Fix doit_in_sourcedir/doit_in_builddir to
  always chdir back to the original directory even if the
  subprocess exits non-zero. (Closes: #798116)

[ Translations ]
* Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro)
  (Closes: #790820)

96. By Niels Thykier on 2015-08-11

* d/changelog: Add missing entry for dh_md5sums/#786695 in
  the 9.20150628 release.
* Makefile: Set LC_ALL=C when sorting.
* dh: Avoid passing --parallel to other debhelper commands
  if it is the only option and "parallel" is not set (or
  set to 1) in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
* dh_strip: Apply patch from Guillem Jover to fix a typo.
  (Closes: #792207)
* dh_makeshlibs: Avoid an uninitialised warning in some
  error cases. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for reporting it.
  (Closes: #793092)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Apply patch from Guillem Jover to use the
  value of dpkg-architecture variables from the environment,
  if present. (Closes: #793440)
* Dh_Buildsystems.pm/Dh_Lib.pm: Import Exporter's import
  subroutine rather than adding Exporter to @ISA.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Use Dpkg::Arch's debarch_is rather than running
  dpkg-architecture to determine if an architecture matches
  a wildcard. Heavily based on a patch from Guillem Jover.
  (Closes: #793443)
* dh_strip: Always compress debug sections of debug symbols
  in ddebs.
* dh_strip: Strip ".comment" and ".note" sections from static
  libraries. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the suggestion.
  (Closes: #789351)
* dh_gencontrol: Stop explicitly passing -DSource to
  dpkg-gencontrol when building ddebs. The passed value was
  wrong sometimes (e.g. with binNMUs) and dpkg-gencontrol
  since 1.18.2~ computes the value correctly.
* d/control: Bump dependency on dpkg-dev to 1.18.2~ for
  ddebs. Build-depends not bumped since debhelper itself
  does not produce any ddebs.
* dh_makeshlibs: Continue generating reports from
  dpkg-gensymbols after the first error. This helps
  packages with multiple libraries to spot all the symbol
  issues in one build.

95. By Niels Thykier on 2015-06-28

* Upload to unstable with ddebs support disabled by default.

[ Niels Thykier ]
* Buildsystem.pm: Apply patch from Emmanuel Bourg to
  provide doit_in_{build,source}dir_noerror methods.
  (Closes: #785811)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Promote error_exitcode to a regular exported
  subroutine (from an internal one).
* dh_compress: Apply patch from Osamu Aoki to avoid compressing
  ".xhtml" files and to use a POSIX compliant find expression.
  (Closes: #740405)
* dh_makeshlibs: Fix typo in manpage. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for
  reporting it. (Closes: #788473)
* dh_auto_test: Run tests by default even during cross-building.
  (Closes: #726967)
* dh_gencontrol: Put ddebs in the "debugsym" section.
* dh_strip: Support a new --[no-]ddebs option intended for
  packages to disable automatic ddebs.
* dh_strip: Do not create ddebs for "-dbg" packages.
* dh_builddeb/dh_gencontrol: Let dpkg figure out the name
  of the ddebs itself now that ddebs uses a ".deb"
  extension.

[ Thibaut Paumard ]
* Bug fix: "dh_usrlocal leaves directories behind", thanks to Andreas
  Beckmann (Closes: #788098).

94. By Niels Thykier on 2015-05-07

[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_bugfiles: Fix regression in installing the reportbug
  script correctly. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for reporting.
  (Closes: #784648)

[ Translation updates ]
* pt - Thanks to Américo Monteiro.
  (Closes: #784582)

93. By Niels Thykier on 2015-05-02

dh_compress: REVERT change to avoid compressing ".xhtml"
files due to #784016. (Reopens: #740405, Closes: #784016)

92. By Niels Thykier on 2015-05-01

[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_strip: Recognise .node as potential ELF binaries that
  should be stripped like a regular shared library. Thanks
  to Paul Tagliamonte for the report. (Closes: #668852)
* dh_shlibdeps: Recognise .node as potential ELF binaries that
  should be processed like a regular shared library. Thanks
  to Paul Tagliamonte for the report. (Closes: #668851)
* Convert package to the 3.0 (native) format, so dpkg-source
  strips the .git directory by default during build.
* Reorder two paragraphs in d/copyright to avoid one of them
  being completely overwritten by the other.
* d/control: Use the canonical URLs for the Vcs-* fields.
* dh_makeshlibs: Apply patch from Jérémy Bobbio to ensure
  stable ordering of generated shlibs files.
  (Closes: #774100)
* dh_icons: Apply patch from Jérémy Bobbio to ensure stable
  ordering of the icon list inserted into generated maintainer
  scripts. (Closes: #774102)
* Dh_lib: Add a public "make_symlink" subroutine allowing
  dh_*-like tools to generate policy compliant symlinks without
  invoking dh_link. (Closes: #610173)
* dh_compress: Apply patch from Osamu Aoki to avoid compressing
  ".xhtml" files. (Closes: #740405)
* dh_gconf: Apply patch from Josselin Mouette to avoid
  dependency on gconf2 for installs of non-schema files.
  (Closes: #592958)
* dh_fixperms: Correct permissions of reportbug files and scripts.
  Thanks to Fabian Greffrath for the report and a basic patch.
  (Closes: #459548)
* The "ant" build system now loads debian/ant.properties
  automatically before build and clean (like CDBS). Thanks to
  Thomas Koch for the report. (Closes: #563909)
* Dh_lib: Add install_dh_config_file to install a file either by
  copying the source file or (with an executable file under compat
  9) execute the file and use its output to generate the
  destination.
* dh_lintian: Under compat 9, the debian/lintian-overrides are now
  executed if they have the exec-bit set like the debian/install
  files. Thanks to Axel Beckert for the report. (Closes: #698500)
* d/rules: Remove makefile target only intended for/used by the
  previous maintainer.
* dh_makeshlibs: In compat 10+, pass "-X" to ldconfig to
  only regenerate the cache (instead of also creating missing
  symlinks). Thanks to Joss Mouette for the suggestion.
  (Closes: #549990)
* autoscripts/post{inst,rm}-makeshlibs-c10: New files.
* dh_strip: Pass the --enable-deterministic-archives option to strip
  when it is stripping static libraries. This avoids some
  unnecessary non-determinism in builds. Based on patch by
  Andrew Ayer.
* dh_install, dh_installdocs, dh_installexamples and dh_installinfo:
  Pass --reflink=auto to cp. On supported filesystems, this provides
  faster copying.
* Make perl tests verbose. Thanks to gregor herrmann for the patch.
  (Closes: #714546)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Apply patch from Martin Koeppe to provide
  install_{dir,file,prog,lib} subroutines for installing directories,
  regular files, scripts/executables and libraries (respectively).
* Migrate many "ad-hoc" calls to "install" to the new "install_X"
  subroutines from Dh_Lib.pm. Based on patch from Martin Koeppe.
  (Closes: #438930)
* dh_gconf: Apply patch from Martin Koeppe to avoid adding a layer
  of shell-escaping to a printed command line when the command was
  in fact run without said layer of shell-escaping.
* dh_installdocs: Use ${binary:Version} for generating dependencies
  with "--link-doc" instead of trying to determine the correct
  package version. Thanks to Stephen Kitt for reporting this
  issue. (Closes: #747141)
* dh_installdocs.1: Document that --link-doc may in some cases
  require a dir to symlink (or symlink to dir) migration.
  (Closes: #659044)
* dh_usrlocal: Apply patch from Jérémy Bobbio to generate
  deterministic output. (Closes: #775020)
* dh_makeshlibs: In compat 10, install the maintainer-provided shlibs
  file (replacing the generated one). (Closes: #676168)
* dh_installdeb: In compat 10, stop installing the maintainer-provided
  shlibs file as it is now done by dh_makeshlibs instead.
* dh_installdocs: Remove remark about dh_installdocs not being
  idempotent as it no longer adds anything to maintainer scripts.
* autoscripts/*-emacsen: Apply patch from Paul Wise to check that
  emacs-package-{install,remove} is (still) present before invoking
  it. (Closes: #736896)
* dh_install.1: Document that dh-exec can be used to do renaming
  and provide a trivial example of how to achieve it. (Closes: #245554)
* dh_makeshlibs: Apply patch from Guillem Jover to stop adding
  Pre-Depends on multiarch-support. The transition is far enough that
  we do not need it any longer. (Closes: #783898)
* dh_gencontrol: Insert an empty misc:Pre-Depends to avoid warnings
  in packages for using a (now often) non-existing substvars.
* d/control: Remove versioned conflicts that are no longer relevant.

[ Bernhard R. Link ]
* Dh_lib: apply patch from Guillem Jover to support case-insensitive
  control field names. (Closes: #772129)
* add DH_QUIET environment variable to make things more silent
* dh: don't output commands to run if DH_QUIET is set
* buildsystems print commands unless DH_QUIET is set
  (Closes: #639168, #680687)
* autoconf is always passed one of
   --enable-silent-rules (if DH_QUIET is set) or
   --disable-silent-rules (otherwise). (Closes: #551463, #680686)
* dh_compress: exclude .xz .lzma and .lz files from compression
  (Closes: #778927)
* dh_installwm: call by dh after dh_link (Closes: #781077),
  error out in compat 10 if no man page found

[ Jason Pleau ]
* dh_installchangelogs: Add CHANGES.md to the list of common changelog
  filenames (Closes: #779471)

[ Axel Beckert ]
* dh_installchangelogs: Consistent suffix search order (none, ".txt",
  ".md") for all upstream changelog file names ("changelog", "changes",
  "history").
    + Looks for "history.md" now, too.
    + Makes it easier to add base names or suffixes in the future.
* dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelogs with .rst suffix.

[ Tianon Gravi ]
* debhelper.pod: Clarify "ENVIRONMENT" requirements for Makefile syntax.
  (Closes: #780133)

[ Translation updates ]
* pt - Thanks to Américo Monteiro.
  (Closes: #758575)

[ Niels Thykier ]
* Revert detection of unsafe binNMUs under compat 9 and
  earlier. It had some false-positives. (Closes: #773965)

[ Axel Beckert ]
* Document that dh_installdocs will error out on --link-doc
  between arch:all and arch:any packages in man 7 debhelper.

90. By Niels Thykier on 2014-12-22

* Add missing entry about #747141.
* Fix typo in comment in dh_installman. Thanks to Raphael
  Geissert for spotting it. (Closes: #772502)

89. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2014-11-07

I'm leaving Debian, and Debhelper needs a new maintainer.
