266 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
267 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
269 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
270 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
271 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
272 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
273 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537

288 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses

290 script and then remove the python files.
291 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
292 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
293 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
294 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
295 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
296 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
297 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
298 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
299 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
300 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

424 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
425 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
426 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
427 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
428 specific python version. Closes: #373853
429 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
430 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
432 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
433 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
434 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
435 the not too-distant future).

2136 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2137 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2138 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2139 dh_install, which ...
2140 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2141 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2142 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2143 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2144 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2145 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2146 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2147 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2148 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2149 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2150 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2151 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2152 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2153 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2154 other minor changes.
2155 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2156 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2157 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2158 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2159 course there's -X ..)
2160 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2161 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2162 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2164 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2165 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2166 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2167 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2168 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2212 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2213 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2214 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2215 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2216 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2243 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2245 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2246 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2247 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2248 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2249 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2250 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2251 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2252 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2253 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2254 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2255 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2256 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2257 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2258 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2259 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2260 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2262 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2279 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2280 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2281 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2282 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

2297 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2298 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2299 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2300 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2301 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2302 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2303 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2304 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2305 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2519 program those options go to. So, for example,
2520 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2664 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2665 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2666 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2667 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2668 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2725 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2726 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2727 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2728 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2729 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2730 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2731 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2732 but is mildly deprecated.
2733 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2734 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2735 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2736 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2737 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2738 switching to statoverrides..
2739 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2740 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2741 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2742 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2743 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2744 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2746 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2747 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2748 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2749 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2750 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2751 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2752 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2753 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2754 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2756 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2757 variable names, pod man pages).
2758 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2759 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2760 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2761 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2762 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2763 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2764 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2930 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2936 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2937 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3178 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3180 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3181 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3182 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3183 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3184 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3185 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3186 notice until v2 is complete.
3187 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3188 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3189 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3190 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3191 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3192 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3194 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3195 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3196 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3197 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3318 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3319 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3321 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3322 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3323 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3324 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3325 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3408 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3409 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3410 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3411 bits until all files have been registered.

3421 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3422 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3423 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3424 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3425 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3426 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3427 otherwise change the result at all.
3429 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3430 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3548 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3549 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3550 I made some changes, though:
3551 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3552 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3553 that is a clear violation of policy.
3554 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3555 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3556 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3557 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3558 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3559 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3560 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3561 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3562 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3564 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3731 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3732 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3733 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3734 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3735 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3736 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3737 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3738 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3739 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4546 * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that
4547 dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can
4548 also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps.

4670 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4671 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

4686 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4687 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4688 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4689 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4690 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4691 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4692 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4693 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4729 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4730 sections of shared libraries.

4732 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4733 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4734 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4735 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4736 things you don't want them to.

4875 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4876 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4877 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5058 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5059 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5060 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5061 past week. Thanks, guys!
5063 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5064 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5065 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5066 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5067 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5068 would do in the same situation.
5069 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5070 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5072 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5074 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5075 permissions changed.
5076 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5077 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5078 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5079 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5080 files are treated identically.
5081 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5082 * Minor man page fixes.
5083 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5084 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5085 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5093 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5094 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5095 use -X multiple times, too.
5096 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5097 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5122 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5123 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5409 a given package, or -i or -a.

5574 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5575 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5576 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5577 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5578 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5639 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5640 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5641 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5642 multiple binary packages.
5643 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5644 should rebuild them with this version.
5645 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5663 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5665 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5666 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5667 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5668 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5669 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5670 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5671 debian/README.debian.
5672 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5673 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5674 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5675 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5676 in a few situations.)

5712 * Multiple binary package support.
5713 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5714 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5715 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5717 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5718 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5719 auto-installed as parameters.
5720 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5722 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5725 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5726 the package build directory it is to act on.
5727 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5728 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5729 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
