93 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
94 contributed by Modestas Vainius
95 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
96 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
97 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
98 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
99 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
100 that support it. Closes: #480577
101 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
102 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
103 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
105 - Adds support for cmake.
106 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
107 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
109 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
111 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
112 that use them. The options are:
113 --sourcedir, --destdir
114 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
115 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
116 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
117 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
118 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

181 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
182 warning or deprecation message.
183 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
184 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
185 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
186 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
187 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
188 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
189 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

403 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
404 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown

1091 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1095 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1096 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1097 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2799 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2800 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2801 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2802 dh_install, which ...
2803 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2804 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2805 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2806 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2807 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2808 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2809 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2810 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2811 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2812 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2813 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2814 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2815 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2816 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2817 other minor changes.
2818 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2819 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2820 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2821 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2822 course there's -X ..)
2823 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2824 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2825 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2827 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2828 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2829 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2830 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2831 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2906 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2908 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2909 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2910 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2911 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2912 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2913 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2914 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2915 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2916 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2917 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2918 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2919 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2920 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2921 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2922 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2923 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2925 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2961 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2962 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2963 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2964 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2965 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2966 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2967 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2968 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3144 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3145 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3146 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3147 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3148 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3149 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3150 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3151 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3152 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3153 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3154 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3156 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3177 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3178 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3179 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3180 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3181 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3182 program those options go to. So, for example,
3183 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3184 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3326 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3327 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3328 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3329 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3330 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3331 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3332 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3386 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3388 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3389 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3390 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3391 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3392 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3393 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3394 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3395 but is mildly deprecated.
3396 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3397 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3398 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3399 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3400 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3401 switching to statoverrides..
3402 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3403 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3404 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3405 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3406 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3407 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3409 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3410 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3411 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3412 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3413 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3414 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3415 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3416 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3417 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3419 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3420 variable names, pod man pages).
3421 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3422 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3423 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3424 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3425 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3426 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3427 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3590 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3591 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3592 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3593 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3594 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3595 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3596 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3598 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3599 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3600 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3602 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3604 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3605 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3606 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3607 should now be raised to severity important..
3608 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3609 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3843 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3844 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3845 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3846 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3847 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3848 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3849 notice until v2 is complete.
3850 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3851 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3852 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3853 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3854 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3855 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3857 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4068 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4069 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4070 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4071 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4072 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4073 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4074 bits until all files have been registered.

4083 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4084 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4085 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4086 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4087 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4088 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4089 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4090 otherwise change the result at all.
4092 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4093 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4094 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4112 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4113 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4115 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4116 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4117 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4118 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4157 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

4212 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4213 I made some changes, though:
4214 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4215 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4216 that is a clear violation of policy.
4217 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4218 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4219 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4220 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4221 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4222 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4223 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4224 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4225 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4227 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4269 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4270 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4271 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4272 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4273 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4391 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4392 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4393 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4394 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4395 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4396 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4397 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4398 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4399 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4400 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4401 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4402 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4412 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4413 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4414 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4415 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4416 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4417 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4740 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4741 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5353 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5354 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5355 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5530 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5531 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5532 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5533 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5534 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5535 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5536 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5537 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5538 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5539 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5540 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5541 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5542 passed any switches.

5554 large chunks in the process.

5723 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5724 past week. Thanks, guys!
5726 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5727 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5728 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5729 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5730 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5731 would do in the same situation.
5732 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5733 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5735 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5737 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5738 permissions changed.
5739 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5740 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5741 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5742 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5743 files are treated identically.
5744 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5757 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5758 use -X multiple times, too.

6033 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6035 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6036 are supported. (#16935)

6069 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6070 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6071 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6072 a given package, or -i or -a.
6073 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6074 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6075 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6076 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6077 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6078 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6080 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6158 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6159 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6160 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
