556 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
557 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
558 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
559 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
560 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
561 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

706 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
707 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
708 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
709 dh_install, which ...
710 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
711 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
712 mess, as it uses debian/install.
713 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
714 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
715 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
716 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
717 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
718 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
719 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
720 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
721 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
722 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
723 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
725 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
726 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
727 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
728 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
729 course there's -X ..)
730 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
731 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
732 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
734 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
735 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
736 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
737 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
738 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

785 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
786 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

813 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
815 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
816 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
817 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
818 line, as well as in debian/rules.
819 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
820 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
821 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
822 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
823 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
824 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
825 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
826 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
827 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
828 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
829 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
830 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
832 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

849 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
850 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
851 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
852 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
853 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

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

1055 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1056 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1057 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1058 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1059 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1060 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1061 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1062 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1063 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1083 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1084 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1085 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1086 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1087 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1088 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1089 program those options go to. So, for example,
1090 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1091 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1235 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1236 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1237 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1238 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1296 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1297 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1298 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1299 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1301 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1302 but is mildly deprecated.
1303 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1304 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1305 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1306 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1307 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1308 switching to statoverrides..
1309 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1310 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1311 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1312 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1313 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1314 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1316 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1317 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1318 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1319 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1320 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1321 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1322 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1323 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1324 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1326 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1327 variable names, pod man pages).
1328 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1329 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1330 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1331 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1332 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1333 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1334 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1500 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1503 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1505 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1506 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1507 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1557 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
1558 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
1559 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

1575 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

1750 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1751 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1752 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1753 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1754 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1755 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1756 notice until v2 is complete.
1757 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1758 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1759 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1760 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1761 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1762 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1764 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1765 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1766 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

1979 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2061 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
2062 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
2063 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2064 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
2065 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
2066 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
2067 does not compress. Closes: #41733
2068 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case

2119 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2120 I made some changes, though:
2121 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2122 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2123 that is a clear violation of policy.
2124 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2125 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2126 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2127 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2128 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2129 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2130 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2131 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2132 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2134 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2176 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2177 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2178 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2179 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2180 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2181 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

2298 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2299 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2300 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2301 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2302 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2303 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2304 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2305 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2306 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2307 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2308 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2309 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2316 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2317 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2319 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2320 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2321 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2322 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2323 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2324 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3069 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3070 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3071 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3072 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3073 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3101 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3102 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3103 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any

3240 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3241 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

3258 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3259 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3260 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3261 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3262 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3263 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3629 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3630 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3631 past week. Thanks, guys!
3633 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3634 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3635 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3636 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3637 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3638 would do in the same situation.
3639 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3640 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3642 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3644 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3645 permissions changed.
3646 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3647 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3648 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3649 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3650 files are treated identically.
3651 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
3652 * Minor man page fixes.
3653 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

3664 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3665 use -X multiple times, too.

4063 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4064 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4065 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4066 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4067 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4068 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4069 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4145 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4146 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4147 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4148 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4212 multiple binary packages.

4235 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4236 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4237 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4238 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4239 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4240 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4241 debian/README.debian.
4242 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4243 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4244 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4245 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4246 in a few situations.)

4285 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4287 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4288 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4289 auto-installed as parameters.
4290 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4292 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4295 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4296 the package build directory it is to act on.
4297 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4298 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4299 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
