1059 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1060 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1061 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1062 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1063 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1064 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this

1068 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1069 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1070 other minor changes.
1071 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1072 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1073 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1074 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1075 course there's -X ..)
1076 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1077 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1078 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1080 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1081 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1082 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1083 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

1159 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1161 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1162 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1163 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1164 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1165 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1166 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1167 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1168 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1169 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1170 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1171 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1172 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1173 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1174 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1175 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1176 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1178 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1213 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1214 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1215 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1216 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1217 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1218 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1219 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1220 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1221 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1558 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

1579 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1580 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1581 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1582 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1583 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1584 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1639 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1641 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1642 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1643 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1644 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1645 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1646 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1647 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1648 but is mildly deprecated.
1649 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1650 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1651 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1652 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1653 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1654 switching to statoverrides..
1655 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1656 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1657 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1658 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1659 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1660 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1662 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1663 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1664 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1665 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1666 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1667 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1668 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1669 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1670 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1672 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1673 variable names, pod man pages).
1674 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1675 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1676 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1677 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1678 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1679 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1680 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1752 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1753 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1846 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1848 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1849 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1851 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1852 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1853 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1858 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1859 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2096 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2097 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2098 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2099 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2100 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2101 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2102 notice until v2 is complete.
2103 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2104 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2105 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2106 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2107 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2108 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2110 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2111 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2112 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2237 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2324 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2325 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2326 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2327 bits until all files have been registered.

2342 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2343 otherwise change the result at all.
2345 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2346 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2466 I made some changes, though:
2467 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2468 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2469 that is a clear violation of policy.
2470 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2471 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2472 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2473 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2474 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2475 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2476 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2477 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2478 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2480 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2644 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2645 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2646 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2647 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2648 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2649 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2650 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2651 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2652 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2653 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2654 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2655 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2663 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2665 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2666 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2667 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2668 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2669 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2670 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3559 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.

3574 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3575 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3576 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
3577 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

3584 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3585 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3586 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3587 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3588 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3601 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3602 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3603 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3604 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3605 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3606 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3607 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3608 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3609 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3645 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3646 sections of shared libraries.

3648 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3649 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3650 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3651 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3652 things you don't want them to.

3715 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3716 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3717 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3791 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3792 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3793 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3981 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3982 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3983 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3984 would do in the same situation.

4035 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4036 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4037 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4038 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4039 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

4041 shape if you're starting a new package.

4324 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4325 a given package, or -i or -a.
4326 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4327 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4328 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4329 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

4331 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4333 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4545 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4546 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4547 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4548 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4549 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4553 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4555 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4556 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4557 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4558 multiple binary packages.
4559 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4560 should rebuild them with this version.
4561 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4565 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
4567 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
4568 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

4572 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
4574 * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file.

4579 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4581 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4582 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4583 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4584 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4585 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4586 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4587 debian/README.debian.
4588 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4589 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4590 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4591 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4592 in a few situations.)

4596 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
4598 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

4602 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

4608 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
4610 * Added dh_strip to strip binaries and libraries.

4615 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
4617 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
4618 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
4619 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.
4621 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
4623 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4625 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4626 is ready for general use.
4627 * Added man pages for all commands.
4628 * Multiple binary package support.
4629 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4630 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4631 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4633 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4634 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4635 auto-installed as parameters.
4636 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4638 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4641 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4642 the package build directory it is to act on.
4643 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4644 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4645 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
