11 - man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not
12 - typo in alternatives call

15 * dh_installwm: Also make the code to find the man page more robust and
16 fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found.

42 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
43 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
45 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
46 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
47 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
48 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
49 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
50 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
51 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
52 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
53 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
54 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
55 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

61 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
62 package install. Closes: #415717
63 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
64 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
65 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
66 script and then remove the python files.
67 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
68 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
69 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
70 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
71 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
72 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
73 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
74 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
75 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
76 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
77 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
78 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
79 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

193 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
195 * Non-maintainer upload.
196 * Update of dh_python
197 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
198 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
199 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
200 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
201 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
202 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
203 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
204 specific python version. Closes: #373853
205 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
206 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
208 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
209 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
210 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
211 the not too-distant future).
212 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
213 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
214 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
215 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

586 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability

590 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1912 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1913 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1914 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1915 dh_install, which ...
1916 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1917 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1918 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1919 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1920 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1921 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1922 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1923 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1924 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1925 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1926 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1927 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1928 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1929 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1930 other minor changes.
1931 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1932 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1933 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1934 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1935 course there's -X ..)
1936 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1937 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1940 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1941 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1942 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1943 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

1988 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1989 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1990 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1991 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1992 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2019 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2021 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2022 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2023 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2024 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2025 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2026 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2027 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2028 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2029 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2030 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2031 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2032 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2033 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2034 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2035 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2036 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.

2073 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2074 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2075 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2076 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2077 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2078 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2079 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2080 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2081 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2257 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

2259 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2260 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2261 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2262 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2263 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2264 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2265 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2266 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2267 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2292 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2293 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2294 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2295 program those options go to. So, for example,
2296 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2297 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2441 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2442 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2443 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2444 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2501 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2502 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2503 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2504 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2505 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2508 but is mildly deprecated.
2509 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.

2512 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2513 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2514 switching to statoverrides..

2516 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2517 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2518 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2519 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2520 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2522 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6

2524 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2525 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2526 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2527 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2528 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2529 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2530 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2532 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2533 variable names, pod man pages).
2534 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2535 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2536 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2537 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2538 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2539 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2540 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2612 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2613 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2706 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2708 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2709 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2711 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2712 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2713 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2715 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2718 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2719 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2720 should now be raised to severity important..

2956 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2957 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2958 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2959 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2960 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2961 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2962 notice until v2 is complete.
2963 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2964 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2965 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2966 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2967 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2968 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3093 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3094 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3095 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3097 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3098 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3099 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3100 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3101 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3102 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3182 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3183 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3184 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3185 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3186 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3187 bits until all files have been registered.

3197 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3198 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3199 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3200 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3201 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3202 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3203 otherwise change the result at all.
3205 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3206 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3325 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3326 I made some changes, though:
3327 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3328 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3329 that is a clear violation of policy.
3330 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3331 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3332 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3333 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3334 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3335 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3336 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3337 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3338 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3340 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3384 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3385 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3386 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3507 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3508 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3509 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3510 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3511 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3512 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3513 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3514 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3515 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3525 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3584 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)

3586 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3587 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3588 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3589 it's always available.

3631 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
3632 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

3836 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3837 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

3853 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3854 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4466 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4467 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4468 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4573 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4574 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4575 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4576 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4577 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4578 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4580 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4581 remove debian/files properly.
4582 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

4584 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4651 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem

4653 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4836 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4837 past week. Thanks, guys!
4839 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4840 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4841 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4842 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4843 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4844 would do in the same situation.
4845 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4846 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4848 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4850 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4851 permissions changed.
4852 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4853 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4854 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4855 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4856 files are treated identically.

4871 use -X multiple times, too.

5146 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

5148 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5149 are supported. (#16935)

5167 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5168 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

5177 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5178 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5182 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5183 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5184 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5185 a given package, or -i or -a.
5186 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5187 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5188 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5189 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5190 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5191 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5192 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5193 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5194 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5196 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5197 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

5270 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5271 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5272 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5273 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
