Changes for version 0.76 - 2012-09-12

  • Salvatore Bonaccorso
    • Update debian/copyright file. Update format to the copyright-format 1.0 released with Debian policy 3.9.3. Adjust Source location for dh-make-perl to point to the git repository. Update copyright years for debian/* packaging.
    • Create debian/copyright with copyright-format 1.0 debian/copyright files are created following the copyright-format 1.0 released with Standards-Version 3.9.3.
    • Adjust test files to copyright-format 1.0
    • Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3
    • Create packages with Standards-Version 3.9.3. Adjust control files in t/dists test-files.
  • Per Carlson
    • License attribute from META file is array. (Closes: #664150)
  • gregor herrmann
    • DhMakePerl::Config: mark cpan option as explicitly set when called as cpan2deb. Avoids overriding by having a cpan key in ~/.dh-make-perl /.dh-make-perl.conf. Thanks to Brendan Byrd for the bug report. (Closes: #668084)
    • debian/control: update {versioned,alternative} (build) dependencies.
  • Damyan Ivanov
    • create_watch: allow single-digit-only versions. Thanks to Kevin Ryde for the report and the proposed fix (Closes: #657249)
    • D:C:FromCPAN/find_debs_for_modules: search core first otherwise we get 'perl-modules (>= 2.21)' when requiring ExtUtils::ParseXS 2.21
    • bump copyright years
    • configure_cpan: ignore prerequisites to avoid unnecessary prompts
    • setup_dir: ignore $dist->get return value. POD says nothing about it, so false doesn't indicate failure. false is sometimes returned when some prerequisites aren't satisfied, which is not important for us. (Closes: #686739)
    • honour --arch option. Use it if given and skip automatic scan for XS code. (Closes: #668642)
