632 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
634 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
635 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
636 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
637 dh_install, which ...
638 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
639 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
640 mess, as it uses debian/install.
641 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
642 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
643 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
644 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
645 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
646 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
647 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
648 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
649 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
650 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
651 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
653 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
654 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
655 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
656 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
657 course there's -X ..)
658 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
659 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
660 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
662 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
663 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
664 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
665 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
666 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

712 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
713 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
714 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

741 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
743 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
744 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
745 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
746 line, as well as in debian/rules.
747 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
748 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
749 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
750 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
751 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
752 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
753 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
754 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
755 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
756 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
757 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
758 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
760 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

777 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
778 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

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

1161 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1162 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1163 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1164 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1165 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1166 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1223 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1224 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1225 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1226 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1227 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1228 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1229 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1230 but is mildly deprecated.
1231 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1232 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1233 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1234 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1235 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1236 switching to statoverrides..
1237 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1238 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1239 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1240 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1241 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1242 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1244 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1245 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1246 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1247 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1248 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1249 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1250 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1251 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1252 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1254 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1255 variable names, pod man pages).
1256 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1257 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1258 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1259 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1260 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1261 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1262 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1428 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1434 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1435 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1676 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
1678 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1679 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1680 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1681 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1682 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1683 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1684 notice until v2 is complete.
1685 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1686 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1687 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1688 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1689 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1690 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1692 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1693 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1694 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

1819 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

1906 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1907 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1908 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

2052 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2053 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2054 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2055 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2056 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2057 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2058 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2059 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)

2227 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2228 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2229 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2230 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2231 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2232 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2233 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2234 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2235 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2236 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2237 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3186 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3187 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3188 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3189 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3190 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3191 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3228 sections of shared libraries.

3230 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3231 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3232 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3233 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3234 things you don't want them to.

3554 debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
3556 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
3557 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3558 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3559 past week. Thanks, guys!
3561 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3562 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3563 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3564 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3565 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3566 would do in the same situation.
3567 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3568 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3570 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3572 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3573 permissions changed.
3574 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3575 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3576 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3577 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3578 files are treated identically.
3579 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
3580 * Minor man page fixes.
3581 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
3582 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
3583 --no-act is on. (#23054)

3589 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
3590 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
3591 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
3592 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3593 use -X multiple times, too.
3594 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
3595 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

3601 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping
3602 elf binaries. This makes for smaller output files. This has always been

3616 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
3617 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
3618 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
3619 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
3620 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
3621 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
3622 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
3623 shape if you're starting a new package.

3652 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
3653 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
3654 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
3655 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
3657 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

3721 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
3722 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
3723 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
3724 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
3725 no packages use the old behavior.

3855 argument processor in perl.

3868 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
3869 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
3870 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
3871 are supported. (#16935)

3886 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
3888 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
3889 version requirements in the shlibs file.
3890 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
3891 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
3892 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

3897 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
3899 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
3900 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

3904 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
3905 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
3906 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3907 a given package, or -i or -a.
3908 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3909 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3910 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3911 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
3912 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
3913 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
3914 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
3915 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
3916 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
3918 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
3919 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

3992 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
3993 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
3994 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
3995 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

4045 * dh_installdocs: Install README.debian as README.Debian (of course,
4046 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

4071 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
4072 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4073 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4074 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4075 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4076 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4128 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4129 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4130 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4131 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4135 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4137 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4138 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4139 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4140 multiple binary packages.
4141 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4142 should rebuild them with this version.
4143 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4161 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4163 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4164 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4165 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4166 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4167 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4168 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4169 debian/README.debian.
4170 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4171 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4172 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4173 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4174 in a few situations.)

4205 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4207 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4208 is ready for general use.
4209 * Added man pages for all commands.
4210 * Multiple binary package support.
4211 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4212 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4213 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4215 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4216 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4217 auto-installed as parameters.
4218 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4220 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4223 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4224 the package build directory it is to act on.
4225 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4226 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4227 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
