314 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
315 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
316 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
317 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

443 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
444 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

449 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
450 specific python version. Closes: #373853
451 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
452 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
454 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
455 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
456 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2158 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2159 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2160 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2161 dh_install, which ...
2162 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2163 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2164 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2165 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2166 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2167 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2168 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2169 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2170 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2171 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2172 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2173 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2174 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2175 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2176 other minor changes.
2177 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2178 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2179 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2180 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2181 course there's -X ..)
2182 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2183 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2184 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2186 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2187 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2188 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2189 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2190 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2235 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2237 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2238 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2265 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2267 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2268 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2269 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2270 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2271 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2272 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2273 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2274 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2275 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2276 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2277 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2278 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2279 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2280 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2281 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2282 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2284 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2302 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

2319 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2320 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2321 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2322 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2323 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2324 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2325 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2326 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2327 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2535 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2536 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2537 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2538 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2539 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2540 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2541 program those options go to. So, for example,
2542 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2543 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2544 something complex. Closes: #89311

2685 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2686 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2687 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2688 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2689 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2690 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2747 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2748 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2749 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2750 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2751 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2752 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2753 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2754 but is mildly deprecated.
2755 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2756 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2757 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2758 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2759 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2760 switching to statoverrides..
2761 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2762 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2763 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2764 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2765 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2766 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2768 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2769 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2770 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2771 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2772 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2773 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2774 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2775 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2776 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2778 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2779 variable names, pod man pages).
2780 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2781 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2782 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2783 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2784 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2785 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2786 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2952 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2954 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2955 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2957 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2958 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2959 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2964 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2965 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3023 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3024 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3025 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3026 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3027 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3028 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3202 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3203 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3204 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3205 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3206 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3207 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3208 notice until v2 is complete.
3209 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3210 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3211 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3212 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3213 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3214 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3216 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3217 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3218 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3219 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3340 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3341 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3343 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3344 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3345 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3346 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3347 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3430 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3431 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3432 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3433 bits until all files have been registered.

3442 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3443 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3444 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3445 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3446 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3447 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3448 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3449 otherwise change the result at all.
3451 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3452 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3570 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3571 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3572 I made some changes, though:
3573 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3574 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3575 that is a clear violation of policy.
3576 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3577 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3578 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3579 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3580 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3581 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3582 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3583 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3584 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3586 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3628 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

3750 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3751 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3752 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3753 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3754 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3755 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3756 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3757 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3758 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3759 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3760 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3761 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3771 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3773 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3774 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3775 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3776 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4712 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4713 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4714 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5080 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5081 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5082 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5083 past week. Thanks, guys!
5085 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5086 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5087 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5088 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5089 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5090 would do in the same situation.
5091 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5092 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5094 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5096 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5097 permissions changed.
5098 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5099 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5100 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5101 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5102 files are treated identically.
5103 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5104 * Minor man page fixes.
5105 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5116 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5117 use -X multiple times, too.
5118 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5119 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5144 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5145 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5518 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5519 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5520 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5521 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5597 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5598 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5599 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5600 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5661 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5662 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5663 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5664 multiple binary packages.
5665 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5666 should rebuild them with this version.

5687 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5688 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5689 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5690 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5691 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5692 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5693 debian/README.debian.
5694 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5695 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5696 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5697 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5698 in a few situations.)

5734 * Multiple binary package support.
5735 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,

5737 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5739 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5740 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5741 auto-installed as parameters.
5742 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5744 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5747 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5748 the package build directory it is to act on.
5749 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5750 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5751 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
