1568 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1569 dh_install, which ...
1570 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1571 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1572 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1573 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1574 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1575 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1576 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1577 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1578 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1579 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1580 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1581 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1582 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1583 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1584 other minor changes.
1585 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1586 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1587 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1588 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1589 course there's -X ..)
1590 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1591 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1592 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1594 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1595 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1596 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1597 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1598 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1643 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1645 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1673 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1675 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1676 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1677 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1678 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1679 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1680 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1681 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1682 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1683 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1684 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1685 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1686 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1687 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1688 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1689 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1690 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1692 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1725 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1727 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1728 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1729 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1730 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1731 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1732 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1733 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1734 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1735 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2072 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
2073 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which

2092 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2093 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2094 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2095 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2096 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2097 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2098 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2099 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2153 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2155 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2156 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2157 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2158 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2159 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2160 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2161 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2162 but is mildly deprecated.
2163 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2164 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2165 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2166 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2167 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2168 switching to statoverrides..
2169 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2170 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2171 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2172 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2173 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2174 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2176 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2177 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2178 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2179 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2180 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2181 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2182 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2183 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2184 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2186 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2187 variable names, pod man pages).
2188 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2189 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2190 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2191 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2192 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2193 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2194 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2266 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2267 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2269 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2270 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

2360 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2361 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2362 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2363 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2365 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2366 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2367 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2369 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2371 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2372 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2373 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2543 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
2544 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular
2545 kernels, and should be rebuilt. Closes: #71841

2610 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2611 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2612 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2613 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2614 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2615 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2616 notice until v2 is complete.
2617 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2618 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2619 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2620 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2621 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2622 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2624 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2625 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2626 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2751 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2838 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2839 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2840 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2841 bits until all files have been registered.

2980 I made some changes, though:
2981 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2982 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2983 that is a clear violation of policy.
2984 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2985 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2986 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2987 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2988 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2989 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2990 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2991 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2992 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2994 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3158 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3159 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3160 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3161 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3162 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3163 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3164 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3165 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3166 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3167 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3168 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3169 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3176 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3177 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3179 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3180 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3181 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3182 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3183 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3184 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4073 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.

4088 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4089 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4090 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4091 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

4098 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4099 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4100 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4101 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4102 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4116 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4117 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4118 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4119 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4120 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4121 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4122 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4123 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4162 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4163 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4164 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4165 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4166 things you don't want them to.

4229 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4230 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4231 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4494 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4495 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are

4497 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4498 would do in the same situation.

4838 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4839 a given package, or -i or -a.
4840 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4841 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5057 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
5059 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5060 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5061 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5062 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5063 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5067 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5069 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5070 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5071 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5072 multiple binary packages.
5073 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5074 should rebuild them with this version.
5075 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5079 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
5081 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.

5086 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

5093 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5095 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5096 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5097 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5098 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5099 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5100 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5101 debian/README.debian.
5102 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5103 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5104 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5105 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5106 in a few situations.)

5110 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5112 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

5116 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5129 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5131 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
5132 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
5133 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

5137 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5139 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5140 is ready for general use.
5141 * Added man pages for all commands.
5142 * Multiple binary package support.
5143 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5144 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5145 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5147 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5148 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5149 auto-installed as parameters.
5150 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5152 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5155 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5156 the package build directory it is to act on.
5157 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5158 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5159 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
