606 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
607 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
608 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
609 dh_install, which ...
610 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
611 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
612 mess, as it uses debian/install.
613 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
614 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
615 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
616 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
617 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
618 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
619 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
620 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
621 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
622 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
623 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
625 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
626 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
627 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
628 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
629 course there's -X ..)
630 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
631 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
632 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
634 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
635 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
636 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
637 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
638 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

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

713 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
715 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
716 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
717 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
718 line, as well as in debian/rules.
719 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
720 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
721 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
722 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
723 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
724 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
725 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
726 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
727 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
728 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
729 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
730 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
732 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

1135 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1136 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies

1196 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1197 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1198 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1199 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1202 but is mildly deprecated.
1203 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1204 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1205 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1206 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1207 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1208 switching to statoverrides..
1209 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1210 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1211 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1212 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1213 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1214 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1216 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1217 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1218 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1219 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1220 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1221 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1222 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1223 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1224 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1226 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1227 variable names, pod man pages).
1228 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1229 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1230 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1231 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1232 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1233 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1234 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1650 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1651 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1652 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1653 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1654 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1655 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1656 notice until v2 is complete.
1657 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1658 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1659 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1660 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1661 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1662 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1664 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1665 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1666 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

1878 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1879 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1880 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1881 bits until all files have been registered.

2020 I made some changes, though:
2021 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2022 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2023 that is a clear violation of policy.
2024 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2025 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2026 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2027 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2028 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2029 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2030 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2031 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2032 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2034 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2054 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
2055 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

2075 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
2076 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2077 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2078 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2079 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2080 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2081 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
2082 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

2198 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2199 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2200 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2201 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2202 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2203 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2204 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2205 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2206 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2207 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2208 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2209 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2216 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2217 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2219 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2220 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2221 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2222 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2223 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2224 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3128 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3129 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3130 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

3138 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3139 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3140 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3141 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3142 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3155 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3156 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3157 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3158 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3159 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3160 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3161 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3162 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3163 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3199 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3200 sections of shared libraries.
3201 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3202 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3203 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3204 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3205 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3206 things you don't want them to.
3207 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3208 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3235 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3236 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
3237 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

3267 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3268 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3269 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3270 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3271 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3272 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3274 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3275 remove debian/files properly.
3276 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

3278 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
3279 * Removed bogus menu file.

3328 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

3342 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3343 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3344 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3345 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3346 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3347 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3349 passed any switches.

3361 large chunks in the process.
3362 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
3363 install many oddly named files it died on before.

3529 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3530 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3531 past week. Thanks, guys!
3533 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3534 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3535 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3536 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3537 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3538 would do in the same situation.
3539 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3540 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3542 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3544 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3545 permissions changed.
3546 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3547 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3548 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,

3563 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
3564 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3565 use -X multiple times, too.
3566 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
3567 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

3879 a given package, or -i or -a.

4047 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4048 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4099 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4100 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4101 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4102 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4103 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4107 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4109 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4110 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4111 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4112 multiple binary packages.
4113 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4114 should rebuild them with this version.
4115 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4133 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4135 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4136 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4137 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4138 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4139 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4140 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4141 debian/README.debian.
4142 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4143 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4144 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4145 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4146 in a few situations.)

4177 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4179 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4180 is ready for general use.
4181 * Added man pages for all commands.
4182 * Multiple binary package support.
4183 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4184 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4185 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4187 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4188 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4189 auto-installed as parameters.
4190 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4192 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4195 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4196 the package build directory it is to act on.
4197 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4198 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4199 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
