16 * dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933
17 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
18 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
19 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
20 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
21 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
22 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
23 logging by dh_listpackages.

59 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
60 planned but not yet implemented.)
61 * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
62 if the Makefile has such a target.
63 * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
64 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

66 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
67 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned

70 recommended default, especially when using dh.

72 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

525 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
527 * Non-maintainer upload.
528 * Update of dh_python
529 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
530 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
531 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
532 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
533 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
534 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
535 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
536 specific python version. Closes: #373853
537 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
538 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
540 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
541 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
542 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
543 the not too-distant future).
544 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
545 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
546 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
547 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

2244 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2245 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2246 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2247 dh_install, which ...
2248 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2249 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2250 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2251 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2252 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2253 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2254 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2255 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2256 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2257 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2258 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2259 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2260 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2261 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2262 other minor changes.
2263 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2264 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2265 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2266 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2267 course there's -X ..)
2268 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2269 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2270 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2272 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2273 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2274 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2275 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2276 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2320 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2321 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2322 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2323 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2324 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2351 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2353 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2354 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2355 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2356 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2357 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2358 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2359 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2360 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2361 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2362 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2363 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2364 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2365 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2366 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2367 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2368 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2370 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2387 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2388 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2389 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2390 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2391 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2403 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2405 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2406 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2407 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2408 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2409 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2410 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2411 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2412 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2413 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2589 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2590 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2591 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2592 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2593 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2594 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2595 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2596 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2597 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2598 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2599 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2622 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2623 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2624 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2625 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2626 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2627 program those options go to. So, for example,
2628 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2629 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2773 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2774 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2775 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2776 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2831 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2833 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2834 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2835 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2836 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2837 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2838 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2839 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2840 but is mildly deprecated.
2841 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2842 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2843 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2844 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2845 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2846 switching to statoverrides..
2847 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2848 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2849 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2850 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2851 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2852 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2854 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2855 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2856 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2857 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2858 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2859 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2860 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2861 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2862 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2864 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2865 variable names, pod man pages).
2866 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2867 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2868 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2869 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2870 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2871 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2872 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3035 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3036 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3037 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3038 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3039 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3040 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3041 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3043 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3044 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3045 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3047 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3049 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3050 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3051 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3052 should now be raised to severity important..
3053 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3054 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3096 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3288 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3289 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3290 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3291 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3292 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3293 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3294 notice until v2 is complete.
3295 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3296 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3297 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3298 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3299 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3300 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3302 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3303 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3304 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3517 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3529 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3530 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3531 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3532 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3533 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3534 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3535 otherwise change the result at all.
3537 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3538 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3539 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3540 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
3541 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

3554 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
3555 act on files that don't exist.
3556 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3557 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3558 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3560 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3561 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3562 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3563 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3586 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
3588 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
3589 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
3591 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
3592 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
3593 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

3599 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3600 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3601 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3602 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
3603 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
3604 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
3605 does not compress. Closes: #41733
3606 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case

3656 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3657 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3658 I made some changes, though:
3659 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3660 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3661 that is a clear violation of policy.
3662 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3663 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3664 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3665 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3666 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3667 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3668 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3669 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3670 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3672 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3691 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3692 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
3693 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

3713 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
3714 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3715 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3716 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3717 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3718 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3719 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3720 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3835 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3836 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3837 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3838 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3839 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3840 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3841 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3842 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3843 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3844 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3845 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3846 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3847 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3853 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3854 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3855 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3857 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3858 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3859 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3860 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3861 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3862 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3865 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4585 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4586 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4589 suidregister actually supports it.

4798 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4799 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4800 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5166 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5167 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5168 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5169 past week. Thanks, guys!
5171 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5172 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5173 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5174 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5175 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5176 would do in the same situation.
5177 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5178 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5180 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5182 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5183 permissions changed.
5184 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5185 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5186 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5187 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5188 files are treated identically.
5189 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5190 * Minor man page fixes.
5191 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5202 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5203 use -X multiple times, too.

5518 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5519 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5520 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5521 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5522 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5523 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5524 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5525 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5603 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5604 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5605 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5606 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

5777 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

5779 debian/README.debian.

5781 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5782 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5783 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5784 in a few situations.)

5834 the package build directory it is to act on.
5835 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5836 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
