1 debhelper (7.9.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
4 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
5 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
6 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
7 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
8 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
9 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
10 (genesis) still uses them.
11 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
12 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
13 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
14 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
15 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
16 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
17 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
18 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
19 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
20 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
21 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
22 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
23 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
24 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
25 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
26 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
27 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
28 commands. (See #570039)
29 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

73 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
74 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
76 * Typo. Closes: #571968
77 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
78 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
79 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
80 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
81 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
82 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
83 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
84 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702

118 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
119 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
120 options that they do not support.
121 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
122 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
123 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

201 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
202 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
203 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
204 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
205 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
206 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
207 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
208 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
209 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
210 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
211 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.

289 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
290 flag with arch all/any packages.
291 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users

452 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
453 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
454 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
455 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
456 that support it. Closes: #480577
457 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
458 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
459 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
461 - Adds support for cmake.
462 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
463 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
465 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
467 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
468 that use them. The options are:
469 --sourcedir, --destdir
470 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
471 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
472 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
473 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
474 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

3009 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
3010 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

3099 * dh_strip: If a file is an ELF shared binary, does not have a .so.* in its

3101 sort. See bug #35733 (not sufficient to close all of it).

3117 debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
3119 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
3120 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
3121 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
3122 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
3123 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
3124 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
3125 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
3126 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
3127 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

3153 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3155 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3156 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3157 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3158 dh_install, which ...
3159 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3160 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3161 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3162 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3163 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3164 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3165 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3166 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3167 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3168 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3169 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3170 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3171 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3172 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3173 other minor changes.
3174 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3175 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3176 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3177 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3178 course there's -X ..)
3179 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3180 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3181 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3183 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3184 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3185 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3186 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3187 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3229 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
3231 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3232 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3233 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3234 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3235 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3237 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
3238 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

3257 * dh_installxfonts: separate multiple commands with \n so sed doesn't get
3258 upset. Closes: #131322
3260 -- Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> Tue, 29 Jan 2002 18:58:58 -0500
3262 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3264 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3265 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3266 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3267 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3268 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3269 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3270 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3271 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3272 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3273 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3274 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3275 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3276 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3277 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3278 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3279 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3281 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3285 debhelper (3.4.3) unstable; urgency=low
3287 * Improved dh_installxfonts some more:
3288 - Better indenting of generated code.
3289 - Better ordering of generated code (minor fix).

3293 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
3295 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
3297 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3298 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3299 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3300 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3301 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3302 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3303 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3314 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3316 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3317 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3318 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3319 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3320 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3321 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3322 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3323 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3324 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
3325 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
3326 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.
3327 * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the
3328 distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used
3329 by: 3 packages (bugs filed).

3498 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3500 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3501 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3502 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3503 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3504 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3505 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3506 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3507 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3508 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3509 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3510 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3511 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3512 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3532 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3533 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3534 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3535 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3536 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3537 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3538 program those options go to. So, for example,
3539 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3540 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3541 something complex. Closes: #89311

3681 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3682 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3683 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3684 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3685 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3686 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3687 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3744 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3745 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3746 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3747 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3748 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3749 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3750 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3751 but is mildly deprecated.
3752 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3753 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3754 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3755 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3756 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3757 switching to statoverrides..
3758 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3759 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3760 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3761 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3762 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3763 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3765 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3766 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3767 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3768 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3769 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3770 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3771 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3772 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3773 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3775 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3776 variable names, pod man pages).
3777 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3778 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3779 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3780 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3781 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3782 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3783 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3949 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3954 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3955 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3956 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4005 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
4006 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4007 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4008 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4199 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4200 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4201 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4202 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4203 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4204 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4205 notice until v2 is complete.
4206 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4207 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4208 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4209 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4210 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4211 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4213 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4214 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4215 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4427 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4428 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4429 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

4499 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
4500 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
4502 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.

4510 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
4511 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
4512 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
4513 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

4568 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4569 I made some changes, though:
4570 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4571 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4572 that is a clear violation of policy.
4573 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4574 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4575 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4576 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4577 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4578 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4579 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4580 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4581 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4583 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4625 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4626 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4627 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4628 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4629 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4748 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4749 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4750 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4751 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4752 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4753 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4754 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4755 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4756 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4757 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4758 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4999 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
5000 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
5001 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5002 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5003 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
5004 * debhelper.1: documented this.
5005 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
5006 current compatibility level is equal to that number.

5079 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5080 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

5097 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5515 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
5516 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
5517 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
5518 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5519 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5520 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5521 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
5522 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5707 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5708 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5709 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5710 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5711 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5712 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6077 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6078 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6079 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6080 past week. Thanks, guys!
6082 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6083 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6084 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6085 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6086 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6087 would do in the same situation.
6088 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6089 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6091 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6093 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6094 permissions changed.
6095 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6096 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6097 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6098 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6099 files are treated identically.
6100 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6101 * Minor man page fixes.
6102 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
6103 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
6104 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6112 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6113 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6114 use -X multiple times, too.
6115 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6116 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6141 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6142 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6481 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6482 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6491 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6512 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6513 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6514 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6515 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6516 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6517 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6518 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6687 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6688 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6689 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6690 debian/README.debian.
6691 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6692 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6693 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6694 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6695 in a few situations.)

6741 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6744 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6745 the package build directory it is to act on.
6746 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6747 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6748 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
