65 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
66 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
67 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
68 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
69 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1392 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1393 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1394 dh_install, which ...
1395 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1396 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1397 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1398 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1399 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1400 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1401 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1402 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1403 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1404 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1405 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1406 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1407 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1408 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1409 other minor changes.
1410 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1411 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1412 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1413 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1414 course there's -X ..)
1415 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1416 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1419 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1420 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1468 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1470 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1471 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1498 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1500 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1501 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1502 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1503 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1504 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1505 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1506 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1507 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1508 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1509 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1510 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1511 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1512 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1513 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1514 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1515 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1517 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1552 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1553 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1554 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1555 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1556 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1557 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1558 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1559 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1560 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1736 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

1739 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1740 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1741 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1742 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1743 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1744 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1745 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1746 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1770 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1771 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1772 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1773 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1774 program those options go to. So, for example,
1775 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1776 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1920 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1921 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1922 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1923 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1980 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1981 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1982 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1983 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1984 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1986 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1987 but is mildly deprecated.
1988 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1989 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1990 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1991 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1992 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1993 switching to statoverrides..
1994 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1995 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1996 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1997 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1998 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1999 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2001 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2002 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2003 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2004 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2005 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2006 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2007 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2008 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2009 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2011 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2012 variable names, pod man pages).
2013 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2014 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2015 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2016 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2017 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2018 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2019 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2088 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2089 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2090 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2091 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2092 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2093 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2094 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2095 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2096 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2097 it is an obsolete program.

2180 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2182 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2183 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2184 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2185 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2186 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2187 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2188 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2190 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2191 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2192 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2194 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2196 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2197 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2198 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2199 should now be raised to severity important..
2200 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2201 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2241 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2242 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2243 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2244 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2256 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2257 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2258 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2259 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2260 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2261 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2435 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2436 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2437 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2438 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2439 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2440 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2441 notice until v2 is complete.
2442 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2443 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2444 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2445 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2446 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2447 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2449 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2450 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2451 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2569 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
2570 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
2571 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
2572 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
2573 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2574 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2576 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2577 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2578 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2579 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2580 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2581 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
2582 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

2663 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2664 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2665 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2666 bits until all files have been registered.

2676 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2677 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2678 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2680 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2681 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2682 otherwise change the result at all.
2684 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2685 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2686 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2804 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2805 I made some changes, though:
2806 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2807 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2808 that is a clear violation of policy.
2809 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2810 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2811 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2812 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2813 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2814 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2815 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2816 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2817 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2819 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2863 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2864 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2865 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2987 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2988 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2989 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2990 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2991 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2992 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2993 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3065 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3066 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3067 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

3075 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

3332 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3333 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4053 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4054 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4055 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4056 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4057 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4059 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4060 remove debian/files properly.
4061 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4062 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4063 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4064 * Removed bogus menu file.

4077 * Dh_Lib.pm: made U_PARAMS an array of parameters.
4078 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
4079 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
4080 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4081 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4082 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4083 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4106 * dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl.

4108 * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
4110 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
4111 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
4112 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4113 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
4114 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
4115 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

4121 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
4122 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
4123 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4124 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4125 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4126 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4127 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4128 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4129 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4130 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4131 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4132 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4133 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4134 passed any switches.
4135 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4143 at all for a long while.
4144 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
4145 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4146 large chunks in the process.
4147 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4148 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4181 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
4182 updating 27 man pages.
4183 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
4184 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
4185 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

4314 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4315 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4316 past week. Thanks, guys!
4318 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4319 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4320 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4321 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4322 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4323 would do in the same situation.
4324 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4325 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4327 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4329 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4330 permissions changed.
4331 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4332 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4333 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4334 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4335 files are treated identically.
4336 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4349 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4350 use -X multiple times, too.
4351 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4352 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4625 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

4627 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4628 are supported. (#16935)

4656 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4657 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4661 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4662 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4663 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4664 a given package, or -i or -a.
4665 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4666 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4667 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4668 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4669 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4670 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4672 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4750 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4751 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4752 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
