0.11

  • Allow passing explicit filename for requirements.txt using --requirements option. Thanks to Eric Larson for implementing!
  • Ensure that venv is configured before starting any daemons. Thanks to Chris Lamb for fixing this!
  • Make sure fix_activate_path updates all activate scripts. Thanks to walrusVision for fixing this!

0.10

  • Backwards incompatible Fix installation using the built-in virtual environment on 3.4. This might break installation on Python versions prior to 3.4 when using --builtin-venv flag. Thanks to Elonen for fixing!
  • Honor DH_VIRTUALENV_INSTALL_ROOT in build system. Thanks to Ludwig Hähne for implementing!
  • Allow overriding virtualenv arguments by using the DH_VIRTUALENV_ARGUMENTS environment variable when using the build system. Thanks to Ludwig Hähne for implementing!

  • Support custom installation suffix instead of the package name via --install-suffix. Thanks to Phillip O’Donnell for implementing!

0.9

  • Support using system packages via a command line flag --use-system-packages. Thanks to Wes Mason for implementing this feature!
  • Introduce a new, experimental, more modular build system. See the Packaging Guide for documentation.
  • Respect the DEB_NO_CHECK environment variable.

  • Support for running triggers upon host interpreter update. This new feature makes it possible to upgrade the host Python interpreter and avoid breakage of all the virtualenvs installed with dh-virtualenv. For usage, see the the Getting Started. Huge thanks to Jürgen Hermann for implementing this long wanted feature!
  • Add support for the built-in venv module. Thanks to Petri Lehtinen!
  • Allow custom pip flags to be passed via the --extra-pip-arg flag. Thanks to @labeneator for the feature.

  • Add tutorial to documentation
  • Don’t crash on debbuild parameters -i and -a
  • Support custom source directory (debhelper’s flag -D)
