My 2 favourites from the manpage:
- The dh_auto_* helpers now resets the environment variables HOME and
common XDG_* variable. HOME and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR are each set to a
distinct writable directory. The rest of the environment variables
are cleared.
- The dh command sequencer will now skip all hook and override
targets for dh_auto_test, dh_dwz and dh_strip when
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS lists the relevant nocheck / nostrip options.
The first allows removing dances with $HOME for packages with
testsuites that need a home directory; the latter saves
ifeq (,$(filter nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
…
endif
in an override_dh_auto_test which does more than dh_auto_test (and
mkdir etc.), it's now completely skipped.
Cheers,
gregor
