299 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

320 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
321 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
322 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
323 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
324 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

326 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
327 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

450 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
451 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

456 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
457 specific python version. Closes: #373853
458 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
459 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
461 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
462 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
463 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
464 the not too-distant future).

2165 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2166 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2167 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2168 dh_install, which ...
2169 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2170 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2171 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2172 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2173 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2174 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2175 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2176 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2177 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2178 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2179 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2180 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2181 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2182 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2183 other minor changes.
2184 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2185 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2186 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2187 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2188 course there's -X ..)
2189 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2190 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2191 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2193 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2194 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2195 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2196 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2197 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2272 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2274 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2275 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2276 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2277 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2278 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2279 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2280 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2281 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2282 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2283 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2284 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2285 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2286 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2287 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2288 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2289 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2291 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2326 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2327 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2328 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2329 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2330 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2331 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2332 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2333 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2334 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2542 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2543 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2544 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2545 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2546 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2547 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2548 program those options go to. So, for example,
2549 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2550 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2551 something complex. Closes: #89311

2692 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2693 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2694 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2695 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2696 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2697 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2752 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2754 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2755 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2756 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2757 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2758 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2759 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2760 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2761 but is mildly deprecated.
2762 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2763 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2764 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2765 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2766 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2767 switching to statoverrides..
2768 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2769 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2770 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2771 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2772 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2773 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2775 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2776 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2777 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2778 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2779 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2780 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2781 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2782 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2783 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2785 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2786 variable names, pod man pages).
2787 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2788 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2789 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2790 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2791 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2792 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2793 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2959 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2962 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2964 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2965 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2966 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3030 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as

3034 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3209 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3210 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3211 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3212 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3213 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3214 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3215 notice until v2 is complete.
3216 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3217 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3218 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3219 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3220 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3221 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3223 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3224 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3225 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3438 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3578 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3579 I made some changes, though:
3580 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3581 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3582 that is a clear violation of policy.
3583 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3584 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3585 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3586 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3587 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3588 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3589 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3590 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3591 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3593 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3757 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3758 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3759 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3760 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3761 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3762 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3763 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3764 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3765 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3766 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3767 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3768 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3778 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3780 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3781 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows

3783 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4719 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4720 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4721 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5087 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5088 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5089 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5090 past week. Thanks, guys!
5092 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5093 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5094 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5095 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5096 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5097 would do in the same situation.
5098 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5099 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5101 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5103 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5104 permissions changed.
5105 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5106 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5107 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5108 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5109 files are treated identically.
5110 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5111 * Minor man page fixes.
5112 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5123 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5124 use -X multiple times, too.
5125 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5126 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5151 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5152 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5525 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5526 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5527 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5528 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5604 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5605 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5606 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5607 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5669 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5670 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5671 multiple binary packages.
5672 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5673 should rebuild them with this version.

5694 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5695 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5696 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5697 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5698 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5699 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5700 debian/README.debian.
5701 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5702 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5703 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5704 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5705 in a few situations.)

5744 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5746 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5747 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5748 auto-installed as parameters.
5749 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5751 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5754 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5755 the package build directory it is to act on.
5756 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5757 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5758 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
