28 * dh_shlibdeps: Update documentation for -L and -l. dpkg-shlibdeps is now
29 much smarter, and these options are almost never needed. Closes: #459226
30 * dh_shlibdeps: If a relative path is specified in -l, don't prepend the pwd
31 to it, instead just prepend a slash to make it absolute. dpkg-shlibdeps
32 has changed how it used LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so making it point into the
33 package build directory won't work.
34 * dh_shlibdeps: Change "-L pkg" to cause "-Sdebian/pkg" to be passed to
35 dpkg-shlibdeps. The old behavior of passing -L to dpkg-shlibdeps didn't

214 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
215 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
217 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
218 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
219 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
220 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
221 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
222 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
223 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
224 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
225 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

234 package install. Closes: #415717
235 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
236 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
237 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
238 script and then remove the python files.
239 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
240 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
241 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
242 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
243 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
244 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
245 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
246 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
247 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
248 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
249 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
250 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have

368 * Update of dh_python
369 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
370 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
371 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
372 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
373 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
374 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
375 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
376 specific python version. Closes: #373853
377 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
378 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
380 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
381 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
382 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
383 the not too-distant future).
384 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
385 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

604 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
605 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
606 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
607 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
608 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

640 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

758 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
759 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5

761 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
762 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2082 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2084 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2085 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2086 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2087 dh_install, which ...
2088 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2089 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2090 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2091 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2092 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2093 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2094 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2095 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2096 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2097 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2098 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2099 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2100 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2101 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2102 other minor changes.
2103 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2104 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2105 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2106 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2107 course there's -X ..)
2108 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2109 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2110 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2112 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2113 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2114 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2115 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2116 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2191 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2193 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2194 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2195 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2196 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2197 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2198 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2199 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2200 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2201 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2202 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2203 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2204 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2205 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2206 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2207 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2208 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2210 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2245 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2246 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2247 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2248 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2249 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2250 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2251 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2252 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2613 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2614 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2615 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2616 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2671 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2673 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2674 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2675 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2676 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2677 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2679 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2680 but is mildly deprecated.
2681 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2682 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2683 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2684 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2685 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2686 switching to statoverrides..
2687 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2688 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2689 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2690 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2691 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2692 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2694 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2695 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2696 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2697 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2698 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2699 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2700 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2701 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2702 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2704 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2705 variable names, pod man pages).
2706 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2707 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2708 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2709 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2710 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2711 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2712 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2878 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2884 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in

3128 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3129 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3130 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3131 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3132 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3133 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3134 notice until v2 is complete.
3135 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3136 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3137 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3138 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3139 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3140 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3142 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3143 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3144 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3356 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3357 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3358 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

3498 I made some changes, though:
3499 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3500 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3501 that is a clear violation of policy.
3502 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3503 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3504 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3505 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3506 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3507 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3508 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3509 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3510 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3512 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3554 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3555 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3556 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

3676 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3677 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3678 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3679 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3680 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3681 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3682 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3683 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3684 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3685 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3686 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3687 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4605 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
4606 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4607 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4608 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4609 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

4616 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4617 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4618 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4619 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4620 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4633 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4634 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4635 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4636 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4637 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4638 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4639 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4640 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4641 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4654 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

4677 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4678 sections of shared libraries.
4679 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4680 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4681 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4682 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4683 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4684 things you don't want them to.
4685 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4686 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4713 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4714 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

4745 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4746 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4747 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4748 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4749 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4750 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4752 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4753 remove debian/files properly.
4754 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

4756 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4806 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4820 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4821 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4822 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4823 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4824 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4825 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4826 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4827 passed any switches.

4839 large chunks in the process.
4840 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4841 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5008 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5009 past week. Thanks, guys!
5011 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5012 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5013 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5014 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5015 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5016 would do in the same situation.
5017 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5018 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5020 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5022 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5023 permissions changed.
5024 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5025 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5026 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5027 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5028 files are treated identically.

5042 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5043 use -X multiple times, too.
5044 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5045 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5357 a given package, or -i or -a.

5526 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5577 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5578 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5579 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5580 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5581 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5585 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5587 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5588 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5589 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5590 multiple binary packages.
5591 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5592 should rebuild them with this version.
5593 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5611 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5613 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5614 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5615 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5616 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5617 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5618 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5619 debian/README.debian.
5620 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5621 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5622 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5623 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5624 in a few situations.)

5655 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5657 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5658 is ready for general use.
5659 * Added man pages for all commands.
5660 * Multiple binary package support.
5661 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5662 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5663 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5665 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5666 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5667 auto-installed as parameters.
5668 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5670 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5673 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5674 the package build directory it is to act on.
5675 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5676 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5677 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
