22 warning or deprecation message.
23 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
24 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
25 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
26 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
27 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
28 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
29 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

229 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
230 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
232 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
233 that uses them. Affected options are:
234 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
235 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
236 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
237 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,

239 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
240 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
241 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
242 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
243 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
244 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
245 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

930 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
931 specific python version. Closes: #373853
932 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
933 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
935 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
936 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
937 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2639 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2640 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2641 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2642 dh_install, which ...
2643 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2644 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2645 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2646 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2647 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2648 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2649 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2650 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2651 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2652 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2653 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2654 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2655 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2656 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2657 other minor changes.
2658 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2659 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2660 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2661 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2662 course there's -X ..)
2663 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2664 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2665 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2667 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2668 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2669 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2670 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2671 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2718 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2719 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2746 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2748 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2749 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2750 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2751 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2752 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2753 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2754 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2755 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2756 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2757 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2758 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2759 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2760 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2761 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2762 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2763 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2765 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2783 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

2800 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2801 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2802 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2803 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2804 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2805 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2806 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2807 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2808 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3016 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3017 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3018 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3019 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3020 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3021 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3022 program those options go to. So, for example,
3023 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3024 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3025 something complex. Closes: #89311

3166 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3167 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3168 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3169 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3170 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3171 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3172 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3226 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3228 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3229 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3230 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3231 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3232 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3233 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3234 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3235 but is mildly deprecated.
3236 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3237 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3238 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3239 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3240 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3241 switching to statoverrides..
3242 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3243 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3244 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3245 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3246 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3247 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3249 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3250 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3251 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3252 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3253 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3254 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3255 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3256 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3257 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3259 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3260 variable names, pod man pages).
3261 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3262 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3263 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3264 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3265 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3266 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3267 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3339 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3340 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3342 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3433 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3435 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3436 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3438 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3439 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3440 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3444 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3445 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3446 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3504 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3505 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3506 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3507 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3508 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3509 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3681 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3683 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3684 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3685 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3686 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3687 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3688 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3689 notice until v2 is complete.
3690 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3691 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3692 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3693 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3694 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3695 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3697 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3698 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3699 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3700 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3821 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3822 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3824 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3825 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3826 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3827 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

3911 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3912 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3913 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3914 bits until all files have been registered.

3924 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3925 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3926 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3927 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3928 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3929 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3930 otherwise change the result at all.
3932 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3933 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4052 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4053 I made some changes, though:
4054 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4055 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4056 that is a clear violation of policy.
4057 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4058 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4059 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4060 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4061 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4062 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4063 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4064 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4065 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4067 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4109 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

4232 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4233 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4234 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4235 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4236 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4237 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4238 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4239 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4240 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4241 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4242 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4252 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4253 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4254 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4255 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4256 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4257 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5193 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5194 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5195 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5196 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5561 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5562 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5563 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5564 past week. Thanks, guys!
5566 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5567 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5568 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5569 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5570 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5571 would do in the same situation.
5572 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5573 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5575 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5577 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5578 permissions changed.
5579 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5580 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5581 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5582 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5583 files are treated identically.
5584 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5597 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5598 use -X multiple times, too.

5999 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6000 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6001 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6002 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6077 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6078 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6079 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6080 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6081 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6142 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6143 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6144 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6145 multiple binary packages.
6146 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6147 should rebuild them with this version.

6168 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6169 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6170 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6171 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6172 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6173 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6174 debian/README.debian.
6175 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6176 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6177 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6178 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6179 in a few situations.)

6215 * Multiple binary package support.
6216 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6217 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6218 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6220 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6221 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6222 auto-installed as parameters.
6223 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6225 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6228 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6229 the package build directory it is to act on.
6230 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6231 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6232 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
