401 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
402 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
403 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
404 dh_install, which ...
405 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
406 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
407 mess, as it uses debian/install.
408 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
409 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
410 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
411 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
412 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
413 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
414 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
415 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
416 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
417 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
418 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
420 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
421 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
422 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
423 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
424 course there's -X ..)
425 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
426 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
427 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
429 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
430 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

508 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
510 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
511 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
512 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
513 line, as well as in debian/rules.
514 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
515 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
516 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
517 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
518 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
519 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
520 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
521 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
522 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
523 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
524 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi

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

782 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
783 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
784 program those options go to. So, for example,
785 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

991 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
992 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone

1005 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1006 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1007 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1008 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1009 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1011 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1012 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1013 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1014 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1015 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1016 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1017 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1018 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1019 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/

1022 variable names, pod man pages).

1024 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1025 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1026 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1027 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1028 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1029 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1099 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
1100 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
1101 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1102 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1104 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
1105 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
1106 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
1107 it is an obsolete program.

1195 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1196 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1197 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1198 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1200 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1201 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1202 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1204 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
1206 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
1207 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1208 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1209 should now be raised to severity important..
1210 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
1211 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

1253 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

1445 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1446 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1447 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1448 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1449 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1450 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1451 notice until v2 is complete.
1452 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1453 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1454 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1455 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1456 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1457 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1459 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

1578 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
1579 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
1580 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
1581 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
1582 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
1583 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
1584 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
1586 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
1587 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
1588 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
1589 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
1590 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
1591 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
1592 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

1670 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
1671 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
1672 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
1673 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1674 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1675 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1676 bits until all files have been registered.

1685 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
1686 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
1687 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1688 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
1689 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
1690 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
1691 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1692 otherwise change the result at all.
1694 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1695 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
1696 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

1714 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
1715 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
1717 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
1718 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
1719 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
1720 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

1814 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
1815 I made some changes, though:
1816 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1817 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1818 that is a clear violation of policy.
1819 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1820 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1821 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1822 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1823 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1824 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1825 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1826 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1827 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1829 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

1871 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
1872 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
1873 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
1874 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
1875 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

1996 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
1997 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
1998 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
1999 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2000 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2001 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2002 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2003 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2004 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2073 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)

2075 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
2076 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
2077 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

2085 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

2342 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
2343 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

2742 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

2746 suidregister actually supports it.

2764 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

2955 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
2956 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
2957 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

3062 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3063 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3064 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3065 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3066 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3067 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3069 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3070 remove debian/files properly.
3071 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
3072 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
3073 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
3074 * Removed bogus menu file.

3089 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
3090 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
3091 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
3092 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
3093 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

3120 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
3121 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
3122 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
3123 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
3124 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
3125 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

3134 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
3135 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
3136 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
3137 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3138 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3139 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3140 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3141 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3142 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
3143 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
3144 passed any switches.

3154 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
3155 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
3156 large chunks in the process.
3157 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
3158 install many oddly named files it died on before.

3194 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

3324 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3325 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3326 past week. Thanks, guys!
3328 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3329 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3330 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3331 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3332 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3333 would do in the same situation.
3334 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3335 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3337 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3339 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3340 permissions changed.
3341 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3342 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3343 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3344 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3345 files are treated identically.
3346 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
3347 * Minor man page fixes.
3348 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

3359 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3360 use -X multiple times, too.
3361 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

3635 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
3636 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
3637 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
3638 are supported. (#16935)

3656 version requirements in the shlibs file.
3657 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

3666 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
3667 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
3668 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of

3671 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
3672 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
3673 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3674 a given package, or -i or -a.
3675 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3676 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3677 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3678 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
3679 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
3680 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
3681 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
3682 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
3683 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

3710 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

3759 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
3760 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
3761 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
3762 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
