Changes for version 0.77 - 2013-08-08

  • Salvatore Bonaccorso
    • Bump version for DhMakePerl to 0.77
    • Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4
    • Create packages with Standards-Version 3.9.4. Adjust default Standards-Versions in DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging to 3.9.4. Bump Standards-Version in debian/control for tests to 3.9.4.
    • Use metacpan.org instead of search.cpan.org. Use https://metacpan.org instead of http://search.cpan.org in debian/watch, debian/copyright and debian/control files. Adjust the test files using https://metacpan.org.
    • Change Vcs-Git to canonical URI (git://anonscm.debian.org)
    • Use anonscm.debian.org for source location in debian/copyright
    • Create Vcs-Git with canonical URI (git://anonscm.debian.org) (Closes: #697876)
  • Damyan Ivanov
    • add test about handling user:pass@ in sources.list URLs
  • gregor herrmann
    • DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging: honour command line options for packagename/version in extract_name_ver.
  • Nathan Handler
    • Email change: nhandler -> nhandler@debian.org
  • Dima Kogan
    • Not importing IO::Dir since I'm not using it
    • better handling of upstream-supplied debian/ directories. If we are making a git repo I now remove debian/ directory if the upstream ships it. This goes into the 'master' branch, so the 'upstream' branch contains the original debian/ directory, and thus matches the pristine-tar
  • gregor herrmann
    • DhMakePerl::Command::make: Try to guess tarball name when run from an unpacked source directory.
    • DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging: Don't sanitize version if given on the command line.
    • Update years of copyright.
    • DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging: replace "This library" with the module name in the long description, like we already did with "This module".
  • Axel Beckert
    • DhMakePerl::Command::make: Call git_add_debian before build_package and install_package to not add files generated during the package build process to the git repository.
    • Add patch by Matthew Gabeler-Lee to understand packages named "-vX.Y.Z". (Closes: #701140)
    • Fix "fatal: pathspec '…' did not match any files" error of "git add". (Closes: #659526)
    • Add option --build-source to build .dsc file (c.f. #645011). Also add a cpan2dsc 'flavour' of dh-make-perl. If it is called by that name, the behaviour changes for easy .dsc creation.
    • Mention cpan2deb and cpan2dsc in the long description.
    • Add myself to Uploaders.
  • Oleg Gashev
    • Fixed timestamp regexp to t/dists.t file. If time zone is EDT, failed tests from t/dists.t file: Generated tree matches template. Problem with incorrect timestamp regexp.
  • Damyan Ivanov
    • Dependency: assume '>=' relationship if missing when constructing from hash /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Dependency.pm line 157. Thanks to Robert Norris for his patience and his excellent analysis. (Closes: #704480)
    • exclude README in the root directory from .docs "in 9x% we remove it from .docs afterwards" this change is a bit of a "big gun", because it doesn't really check if README is autogenerated, but hey, fixing a 90% false-positive hit is better than introducing a 10% false-negative hit (Closes: #608936)
    • drop mangling versions like 2.003004 into 2.3.4 this partially reverts 385451609f5af2ace92c3838133dd4ed2c605608 see there for the reasoning back in 2010 (TODO is interesting) the fix seems to cause more problems than it solves. matching cpan-version to debian version is dark area
  • gregor herrmann
    • Fix tests for .docs generation.
    • Fix tests for version mangling.
    • debian/control: one 'perl' is enough. Thanks to lintian.
  • Damyan Ivanov
    • use dh 9 for arch:any packages to get hardening flags
    • drop support for debhelper compatibility levels before 8
    • drop documentation and support of rules files for dh7
  • Lasse Makholm
    • Debian::AptContents: Fix repo_source_to_contents_paths() to also work on Ubuntu. Make sure to generate paths both with and without components to be compatible with both old and new apt-file versions. (LP: #1034881)
  • Damyan Ivanov
    • use Text::Balanced's extract_quotelike for parsing quoted strings (Closes: #717025)
    • do not fail AptContents.t with left over Contents.cache present
    • Control: revert ->binary to plain hashref and provide the Tie::IxHash tie via ->binary_tie (Closes: #712432)
    • configure_cpan: save/restore the CWD
    • make: when neither --cpan or a tarball is given, also try to use debian-named .orig.tar.gz
    • make: skip pristine-tar if there is no known tarball (Closes: #689476)
    • FromCPAN: catch in-core dependencies that require too new perl and provide an out-of-core alternative (Closes: #691534)
    • move mod_cpan_version from ::make to ::Packaging (Closes: #691859)
    • make: warn if pkg-perl already has a packaging repository for the package (Closes: #702456)
    • switch default debhelper to 9
    • packages build-depending on Module::Build::Tiny get debhelper 9.20130630
    • bump oldstable perl version from 5.10.0 to 5.10.1
    • make: prune dependencies after discovering additional dependencies
    • do not fail when $wnpp_query is not supplied due to --no-network
    • Makefile: defer {real,dist}clean to ./Build
    • add .pc and Contents.cache to MANIFEST.SKIP
    • rework dists.t using IPC::Run
    • supply data about libmodule-build-tiny-perl in test Contents
