25 debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
27 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
28 changes are planned for that mode.
29 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
30 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
31 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
32 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
33 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
34 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
35 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
36 (genesis) still uses them.
37 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
38 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
39 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
40 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
41 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
42 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
43 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
44 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
45 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
46 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
47 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
48 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
49 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
50 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
51 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
52 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
53 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
54 commands. (See #570039)
55 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
57 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

98 * Updated French translation.
99 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility

101 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
102 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
104 * Typo. Closes: #571968
105 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
106 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
107 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
108 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
109 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
110 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
111 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
112 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702

146 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
147 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
148 options that they do not support.
149 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
150 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
151 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

232 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
233 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
234 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
235 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
236 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
237 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
238 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
239 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.

252 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
253 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.

317 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
318 flag with arch all/any packages.
319 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users

480 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
481 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597

483 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
484 that support it. Closes: #480577
485 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
486 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
487 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
489 - Adds support for cmake.
490 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
491 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
493 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
495 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
496 that use them. The options are:
497 --sourcedir, --destdir
498 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
499 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
500 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
501 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
502 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

570 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
571 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

786 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
787 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
788 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
789 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

3036 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
3037 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
3038 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

3183 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3184 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3185 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3186 dh_install, which ...
3187 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3188 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3189 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3190 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3191 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3192 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3193 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3194 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3195 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3196 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3197 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3198 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3199 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3200 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3201 other minor changes.
3202 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3203 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3204 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3205 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3206 course there's -X ..)
3207 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3208 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3209 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3211 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3212 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3213 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3214 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3215 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3259 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3260 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3261 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3262 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3263 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3290 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3292 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3293 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3294 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3295 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3296 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3297 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3298 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3299 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3300 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3301 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3302 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3303 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3304 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3305 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3306 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3307 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3309 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3326 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3327 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3328 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3329 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3330 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

3342 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3344 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3345 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3346 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3347 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3348 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3349 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3350 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3351 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3352 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3526 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3528 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3529 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3530 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3531 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3532 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3533 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3534 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3535 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3536 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3537 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3538 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3539 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3540 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3560 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3561 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3562 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3563 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3564 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3565 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3566 program those options go to. So, for example,
3567 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3568 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3710 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3711 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3712 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3713 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3714 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3715 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3716 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3770 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3772 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3773 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3774 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3775 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3776 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3777 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3778 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3779 but is mildly deprecated.
3780 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3781 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3782 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3783 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3784 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3785 switching to statoverrides..
3786 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3787 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3788 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3789 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3790 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3791 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3793 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3794 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3795 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3796 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3797 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3798 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3799 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3800 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3801 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3803 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3804 variable names, pod man pages).
3805 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3806 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3807 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3808 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3809 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3810 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3811 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3982 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3983 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3984 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3986 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3988 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3989 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3990 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3991 should now be raised to severity important..
3992 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3993 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4034 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4035 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4036 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4052 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

4227 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4228 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4229 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4230 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4231 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4232 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4233 notice until v2 is complete.
4234 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4235 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4236 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4237 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4238 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4239 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4241 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4242 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4243 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4455 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4456 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4457 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

4502 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4597 I made some changes, though:
4598 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4599 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4600 that is a clear violation of policy.
4601 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4602 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4603 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4604 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4605 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4606 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4607 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4608 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4609 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4611 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4779 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4780 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4781 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4782 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4783 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4784 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4785 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4786 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5125 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5520 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
5522 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5523 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5524 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5525 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
5526 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
5527 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
5528 suidregister actually supports it.
5529 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5530 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5541 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
5543 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
5544 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
5545 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
5546 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5547 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5548 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5549 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
5550 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5564 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
5565 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

5577 * dh_installdocs: behavior change: all docs are now installed mode 644.
5578 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
5579 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
5580 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
5581 effect, either. (#30118)

5593 * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that
5594 dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can
5595 also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps.

5609 that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly.

5706 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
5707 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
5708 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

5715 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
5716 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5717 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5718 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5719 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5733 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5734 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5735 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5736 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5737 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5738 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5739 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5740 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5776 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5777 sections of shared libraries.
5778 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5779 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5780 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5781 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5782 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5783 things you don't want them to.

5785 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5812 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5813 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5814 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
5815 the program to not fail. (#26214)

5845 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5846 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5847 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5848 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

6105 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6106 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6107 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6108 past week. Thanks, guys!
6110 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6111 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6112 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6113 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6114 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6115 would do in the same situation.
6116 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6117 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6119 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6121 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6122 permissions changed.
6123 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6124 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6125 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6126 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6127 files are treated identically.
6128 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6129 * Minor man page fixes.
6130 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
6131 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
6132 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6138 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
6139 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
6140 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6141 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6142 use -X multiple times, too.
6143 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6144 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6165 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
6166 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
6167 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
6168 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
6169 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6170 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
6171 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
6172 shape if you're starting a new package.

6201 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
6202 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
6203 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
6204 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
6206 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

6214 fixes to the changelog, though - too many, and a changelog isn't meant

6270 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
6271 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
6272 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
6273 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
6274 no packages use the old behavior.

6455 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6456 a given package, or -i or -a.
6457 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6458 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6460 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6462 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6464 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6491 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6492 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6493 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
6494 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

6506 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6507 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6508 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6509 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6510 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789
6511 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files,

6518 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
6519 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
6520 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
6521 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

6540 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6541 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6542 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6543 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6544 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6545 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6546 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6567 the dh_* programs (#15497).

6621 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6622 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6623 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6624 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6625 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6686 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6687 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6688 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6689 multiple binary packages.
6690 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6691 should rebuild them with this version.
6692 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6710 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6712 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6713 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6714 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6715 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6716 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6717 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6718 debian/README.debian.
6719 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6720 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6721 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6722 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6723 in a few situations.)

6756 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6757 is ready for general use.
6758 * Added man pages for all commands.
6759 * Multiple binary package support.
6760 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6761 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6762 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6764 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6765 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6766 auto-installed as parameters.
6767 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6769 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6772 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6773 the package build directory it is to act on.
6774 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6775 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6776 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
