I just never saw the point of that file.. + - Make dh_movefiles remove emptied directories after it's moved all the + files out of them (wishlist bug #17111). +* dh_fixperms: allow listing of files not to be touched (difficult). +* add a dh_debstd, which mimics debstd, but uses debhelper tools internally. + Note that the idea here is not just another debstd. This program will have + a -v switch, that lists all the other debhelper commands it needs to run to + do what debstd had to do. The intent is to make it easy to switch from + debstd to debhelper. +* info support for debhelper (currently implemented, but I hate how I did it, + so it's not in the package.) (wishlist bug #15717) +* enhance dh_installmanpages so it associates binaries and man pages and + installs the man pages into the correct areas to suit the binaries they + document. I may need to make this only happen when a switch is given, to + preserve backward compatibility. +* maybe make dh_installmanpages look at the .TH line of man pages whose + filenames end in .man, to figure out what section they go it. This would + require a switch to turn on, for backwards compatibility. +* All debhelper programs should be checked that they output files with the + correct permissions no matter what the umask is set to. Currently, only + those programs that run after dh_fixperms have been so checked. (Checking + the rest is low priority, since dh_fixperms fixes any incorrect permissions + they might have; still it would be nice to check them too, just to make + debhelper more flexible.) One easy fix is to add umask 022 to dh_lib, + however, there may be unforeseen ramifications of such a change. |
