1 debhelper (7.4.4) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems) now supports
4 parallel building by default, as specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
6 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
7 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
8 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
9 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
10 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
11 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
12 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
13 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
14 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
15 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
16 time soon.) Closes: #554509
17 * Drop deprecated programs from the list of commands in debhelper(7).

47 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
48 (It was only run once due to logging.)
49 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
50 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
51 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
52 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
53 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
54 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
55 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293

76 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
77 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
78 flag with arch all/any packages.
79 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
80 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
81 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
82 situation. Closes: #540794

237 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
238 contributed by Modestas Vainius
239 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
240 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
241 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
242 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
243 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
244 that support it. Closes: #480577
245 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
246 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
247 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
249 - Adds support for cmake.
250 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
251 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
253 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
255 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
256 that use them. The options are:
257 --sourcedir, --destdir
258 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
259 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
260 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
261 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
262 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

329 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
330 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
331 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

533 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
534 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
536 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
537 that uses them. Affected options are:
538 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,

540 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

544 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
545 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
546 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
547 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
548 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
549 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1074 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1076 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand

1097 script and then remove the python files.
1098 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1099 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1100 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1101 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1102 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1107 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1230 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1231 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1232 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1233 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1234 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1235 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1236 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1237 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1239 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1240 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1241 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1242 the not too-distant future).

2943 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2944 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2945 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2946 dh_install, which ...
2947 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2948 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2949 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2950 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2951 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2952 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2953 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2954 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2955 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2956 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2957 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2958 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2959 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2960 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2961 other minor changes.
2962 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2963 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2964 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2965 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2966 course there's -X ..)
2967 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2968 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2969 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2971 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2972 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2973 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2974 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2975 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

3019 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3020 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3021 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3022 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3050 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3052 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3053 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3054 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3055 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3056 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3057 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3058 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3059 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3060 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3061 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3062 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3063 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3064 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3065 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3066 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3067 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3069 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3102 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3104 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3105 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3106 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3107 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3108 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3109 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3110 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3111 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3112 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3296 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3297 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3298 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3324 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3325 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3326 program those options go to. So, for example,
3327 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3515 don't make packlist files.
3516 * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current
3517 debhelper coding standards.
3518 * Use dh_perl to generate debhelper's own deps.
3519 * Version number increase to meet perl policy.

3530 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3532 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3533 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3534 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3535 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3536 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3537 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3538 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3539 but is mildly deprecated.
3540 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3541 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3542 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3543 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3544 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3545 switching to statoverrides..
3546 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3547 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3548 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3549 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3550 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3551 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3553 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3554 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3555 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3556 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3557 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3558 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3559 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3560 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3561 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3563 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3564 variable names, pod man pages).
3565 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3566 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3567 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3568 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3569 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3570 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3571 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3643 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3644 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3737 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3742 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3743 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3744 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3749 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3750 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3987 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3988 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3989 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3990 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.

3993 notice until v2 is complete.
3994 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3995 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3996 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3997 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3998 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3999 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

4131 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4215 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4216 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4217 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4218 bits until all files have been registered.

4228 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4229 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4230 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4231 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4232 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4233 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4234 otherwise change the result at all.
4236 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4237 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4238 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4357 I made some changes, though:
4358 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4359 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4360 that is a clear violation of policy.
4361 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4362 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4363 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4364 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4365 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4366 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4367 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4368 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4369 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4371 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4534 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
4535 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4536 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4537 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4538 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4539 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4540 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4541 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4542 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4543 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4544 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4545 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4546 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4552 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4553 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4554 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4556 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4557 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4558 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4559 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4560 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4561 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4563 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4564 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5497 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

5499 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5536 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5537 sections of shared libraries.
5538 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5539 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5540 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5541 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5542 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5543 things you don't want them to.
5544 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5545 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5572 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5573 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5574 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

5604 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5605 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5606 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5607 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5608 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5609 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5611 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5612 remove debian/files properly.
5613 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5614 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5615 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5616 * Removed bogus menu file.

5632 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5633 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5634 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
5635 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5664 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5665 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
5666 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously

5676 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5677 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5678 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5679 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5680 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5681 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5682 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5683 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5684 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5686 passed any switches.

5867 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5868 past week. Thanks, guys!
5870 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5871 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5872 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5873 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5874 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5875 would do in the same situation.
5876 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5877 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5879 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5881 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5882 permissions changed.
5883 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5884 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5885 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5886 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5887 files are treated identically.
5888 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5901 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5902 use -X multiple times, too.

6030 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
6031 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
6032 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
6033 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
6034 no packages use the old behavior.

6038 debhelper (0.70) unstable; urgency=low
6040 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
6041 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was
6042 gaining us anything, so let's remove it and save some disk space.

6068 * README, dh_testversion.1, dh_movefiles.1: more doc fixes.
6069 * dh_movefiles: don't check for package names to see if files are being
6070 moved from one package back into itself, instead, check tmp dir names.
6071 If you use this behavior, you should use "dh_testversion 0.66".

6092 debian-policy that du control files are bad.
6093 * examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
6094 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.

6106 inspired to implement some of it.
6107 * Also added all wishlist bugs to the TODO.

6122 Lintian found lots of bugs that will be fixed by this change.

6128 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without

6155 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077

6163 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
6164 argument processor in perl.
6165 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
6166 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
6167 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")

6174 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
6175 type directories. (#16933)
6176 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
6177 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6178 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6179 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6180 are supported. (#16935)
6181 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

6195 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
6197 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
6198 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6199 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6200 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6201 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
6202 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

6206 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6208 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6209 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6210 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6212 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6213 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6214 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6215 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6216 a given package, or -i or -a.
6217 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6218 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6219 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6220 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6221 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6222 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6223 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6224 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6225 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6227 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6228 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
6229 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

6249 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
6251 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6252 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6253 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
6254 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

6264 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
6266 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6267 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6268 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6269 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6270 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6278 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
6279 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
6280 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
6281 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

6298 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
6300 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6301 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6302 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6303 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6304 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6305 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6306 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6381 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6382 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6383 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6384 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6385 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6475 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6476 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6477 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6478 debian/README.debian.

6480 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6481 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6482 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6483 in a few situations.)

6518 * Added man pages for all commands.
6519 * Multiple binary package support.
6520 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6521 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6522 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6524 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6525 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6526 auto-installed as parameters.
6527 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6529 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6532 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6533 the package build directory it is to act on.
6534 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6535 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6536 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
