324 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1646 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1647 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1648 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1649 dh_install, which ...
1650 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1651 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1652 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1653 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1654 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1655 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1656 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1657 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1658 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1659 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1660 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1661 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1662 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1663 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1664 other minor changes.
1665 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1666 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1667 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1668 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1669 course there's -X ..)
1670 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1671 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1672 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1674 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1675 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1676 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1677 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1678 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1725 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1726 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1753 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1755 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1756 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1757 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1758 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1759 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1760 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1761 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1762 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1763 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1764 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1765 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1766 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1767 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1768 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1769 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1770 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1772 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1807 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1808 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1809 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1810 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1811 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1812 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1813 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1814 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1815 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2173 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2174 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2175 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2176 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2177 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2178 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2233 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2235 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2236 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2237 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2238 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2239 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2240 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2241 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2242 but is mildly deprecated.
2243 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2244 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2245 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2246 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2247 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2248 switching to statoverrides..
2249 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2250 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2251 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2252 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2253 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2254 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2256 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2257 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2258 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2259 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2260 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2261 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2262 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2263 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2264 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2266 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2267 variable names, pod man pages).
2268 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2269 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2270 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2271 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2272 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2273 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2274 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2346 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2347 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2440 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2442 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2443 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2445 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2446 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2447 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2452 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2453 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2688 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2690 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2691 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2692 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2693 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2694 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2695 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2696 notice until v2 is complete.
2697 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2698 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2699 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2700 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2701 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2702 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2704 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2705 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2706 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2707 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2829 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2831 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2833 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2834 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2918 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2919 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2920 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

3058 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3059 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3060 I made some changes, though:
3061 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3062 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3063 that is a clear violation of policy.
3064 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3065 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3066 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3067 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3068 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3069 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3070 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3071 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3072 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3074 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3239 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3240 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3241 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3242 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3243 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3244 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3245 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3246 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3247 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3248 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3249 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4198 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4199 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4200 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4201 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4202 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4203 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4568 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4569 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4570 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4571 past week. Thanks, guys!
4573 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4574 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4575 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4576 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4577 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4578 would do in the same situation.
4579 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4580 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4582 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4584 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4585 permissions changed.
4586 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4587 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4588 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4589 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4590 files are treated identically.
4591 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4592 * Minor man page fixes.
4593 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4594 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4595 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4604 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4605 use -X multiple times, too.
4606 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4607 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5084 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5085 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5086 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5087 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5088 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5140 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.

5149 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5150 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5151 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5152 multiple binary packages.
5153 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5154 should rebuild them with this version.
5155 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5173 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5175 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5176 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5177 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5178 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5179 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5180 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5181 debian/README.debian.
5182 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5183 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5184 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5185 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5186 in a few situations.)

5219 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5220 is ready for general use.

5222 * Multiple binary package support.
5223 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5224 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5225 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5227 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5228 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5229 auto-installed as parameters.
5230 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5232 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5235 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5236 the package build directory it is to act on.
5237 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5238 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5239 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
