145 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
146 contributed by Modestas Vainius
147 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
148 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
149 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
150 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
151 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
152 that support it. Closes: #480577
153 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
154 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
155 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
157 - Adds support for cmake.
158 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
159 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
161 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
163 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
164 that use them. The options are:
165 --sourcedir, --destdir
166 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
167 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
168 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
169 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
170 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

235 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
236 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
237 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
238 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
239 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
240 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
241 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

530 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
531 source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or
532 debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any

1143 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1145 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1147 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1148 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1149 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1150 the not too-distant future).

1525 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
1526 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1527 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows

1529 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2853 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2854 dh_install, which ...
2855 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2856 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2857 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2858 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2859 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2860 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2861 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2862 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2863 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2864 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2865 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2866 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2867 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2868 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2869 other minor changes.
2870 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2871 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2872 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2873 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2874 course there's -X ..)
2875 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2876 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2879 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2880 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

2958 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2960 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2961 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2962 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2963 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2964 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2965 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2966 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2967 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2968 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2969 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2970 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2971 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2972 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2973 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2974 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2975 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2977 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3012 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3013 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3014 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3015 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3016 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3017 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3018 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3019 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3020 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3199 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3200 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3201 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3202 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3203 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3204 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3205 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3206 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3230 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3231 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3232 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3233 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3234 program those options go to. So, for example,
3235 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3236 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3380 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3381 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3382 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3383 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3440 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3441 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3442 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3443 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3444 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3445 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3446 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3447 but is mildly deprecated.
3448 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3449 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3450 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3451 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3452 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3453 switching to statoverrides..
3454 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3455 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3456 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3457 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3458 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3459 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3461 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3462 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3463 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3464 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3465 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3466 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3467 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3468 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3469 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3471 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3472 variable names, pod man pages).
3473 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3474 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3475 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3476 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3477 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3478 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3479 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3548 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3549 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3550 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3551 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3552 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3553 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3554 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3555 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3556 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3557 it is an obsolete program.

3643 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3644 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3645 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3646 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3647 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3648 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3650 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3651 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3652 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3654 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3656 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3657 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3658 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3659 should now be raised to severity important..
3660 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3661 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3703 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3895 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3896 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3897 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3898 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3899 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3900 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3901 notice until v2 is complete.
3902 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3903 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3904 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3905 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3906 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3907 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3909 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4028 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
4029 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
4030 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
4031 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
4032 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4033 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4034 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4036 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4037 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4038 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4039 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4040 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4041 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
4042 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

4122 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4123 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4124 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4125 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4126 bits until all files have been registered.

4135 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4136 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4137 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4138 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4139 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4140 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4141 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4142 otherwise change the result at all.
4144 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4145 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4146 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4164 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4165 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4167 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4168 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4169 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4170 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4264 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4265 I made some changes, though:
4266 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4267 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4268 that is a clear violation of policy.
4269 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4270 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4271 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4272 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4273 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4274 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4275 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4276 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4277 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4279 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4322 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4323 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4324 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4325 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4326 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

4447 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4448 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4449 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4450 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4451 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4452 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4453 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4454 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4522 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
4523 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
4524 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
4525 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4526 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4527 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4528 it's always available.

4534 * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
4535 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
4536 Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> to make it use those id's instead
4537 of coming up with it's own. (Closes: #42650)

4571 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
4572 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

4698 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4699 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

4775 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4776 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4777 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4792 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4793 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4841 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5162 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5163 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5190 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5191 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5192 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5193 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
5194 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.

5196 suidregister actually supports it.
5197 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5198 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5211 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
5212 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

5214 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5215 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5216 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

5246 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
5247 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not

5386 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

5403 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to

5405 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5406 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5407 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5408 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5523 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5524 * Removed bogus menu file.

5573 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5588 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5589 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5590 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5591 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5592 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5775 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5776 past week. Thanks, guys!
5778 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5779 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5780 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5781 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5782 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5783 would do in the same situation.
5784 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5785 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5787 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5789 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5790 permissions changed.
5791 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5792 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5793 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5794 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5795 files are treated identically.
5796 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5809 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5810 use -X multiple times, too.

6072 argument processor in perl.

6085 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6086 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6087 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6088 are supported. (#16935)
6089 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

6103 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with

6106 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6107 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6108 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6109 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

6114 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6116 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6117 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6118 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6120 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6121 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6122 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6123 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6124 a given package, or -i or -a.
6125 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6126 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6127 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6128 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6129 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6130 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6131 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6132 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6133 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6135 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6136 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
6137 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

6159 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6160 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6161 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

6208 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6209 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6210 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6211 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6212 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6213 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6214 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6290 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.

6389 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6390 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

6437 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6440 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6441 the package build directory it is to act on.
6442 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6443 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
