3 * dh_install(1): Order options alphabetically. Closes:# 503896
4 * Fix some docs that refered to --srcdir rather than --sourcedir.
6 * Add Vcs-Browser field. Closes: #507804
7 * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
8 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
9 to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
11 (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
12 warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)

18 * dh_installchangelogs: Fall back to looking for changelog files ending
19 with ".txt". Closes: #498460

21 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
22 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
23 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
24 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
26 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
27 that uses them. Affected options are:
28 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
29 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
30 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
31 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
32 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
33 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
34 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
35 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
36 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
37 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
38 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
39 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

531 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
532 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
534 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
535 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
536 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
537 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
538 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537

540 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
541 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
542 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

553 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
554 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
555 script and then remove the python files.
556 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
557 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
558 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
559 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
560 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
561 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
562 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
563 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
564 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
565 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

686 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
687 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
688 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
689 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
690 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
691 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
692 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
693 specific python version. Closes: #373853
694 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
695 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
697 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
698 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
699 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
700 the not too-distant future).

2401 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2402 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2403 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2404 dh_install, which ...
2405 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2406 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2407 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2408 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2409 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2410 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2411 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2412 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2413 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2414 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2415 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2416 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2417 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2418 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2419 other minor changes.
2420 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2421 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2422 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2423 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2424 course there's -X ..)
2425 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2426 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2427 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2429 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2430 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2431 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2432 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2433 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2478 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2480 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2481 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2508 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2510 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2511 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2512 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2513 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2514 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2515 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2516 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2517 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2518 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2519 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2520 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2521 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2522 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2523 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2524 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2525 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2527 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2562 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2563 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2564 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2565 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2566 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2567 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2568 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2569 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2754 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2755 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2756 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2782 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2783 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2784 program those options go to. So, for example,
2785 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3006 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3007 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3008 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3009 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3011 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3012 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3013 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3014 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3015 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3016 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3017 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3018 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3019 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3021 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3022 variable names, pod man pages).
3023 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3024 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3025 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3026 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3027 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3028 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3029 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3101 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3102 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3195 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3197 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3198 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3200 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3201 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3202 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3204 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

3207 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3208 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3209 should now be raised to severity important..

3445 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3446 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3447 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3448 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3449 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3450 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3451 notice until v2 is complete.
3452 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3453 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3454 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3455 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3456 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3457 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3583 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3584 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3586 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3587 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3588 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3589 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3590 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3591 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3673 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3674 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3675 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3676 bits until all files have been registered.

3686 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3687 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3688 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3814 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3815 I made some changes, though:
3816 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3817 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3818 that is a clear violation of policy.
3819 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3820 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3821 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3822 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3823 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3824 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3825 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3826 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3827 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3829 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3997 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3998 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3999 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4000 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4001 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4002 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4003 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4004 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4016 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4017 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4018 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4019 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4021 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4022 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5025 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/

5029 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
5030 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5031 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5032 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
5033 the program to not fail. (#26214)

5062 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5063 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5064 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5065 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5066 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5067 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5069 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5070 remove debian/files properly.
5071 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

5073 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

5091 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

5122 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5123 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5138 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5139 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5140 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5141 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5142 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5325 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5326 past week. Thanks, guys!
5328 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5329 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5330 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5331 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5332 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5333 would do in the same situation.
5334 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5335 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5337 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5339 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5340 permissions changed.
5341 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5342 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5343 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5344 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5345 files are treated identically.
5346 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5359 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5360 use -X multiple times, too.

5667 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5671 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5672 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5673 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5674 a given package, or -i or -a.
5675 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5676 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5677 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5678 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5679 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5680 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5681 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5682 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5683 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

5686 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

5710 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5759 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5760 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5761 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5762 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
