1160 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1161 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1162 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1163 dh_install, which ...
1164 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1165 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1166 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1167 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1168 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1169 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1170 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1171 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1172 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1173 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1174 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1175 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1176 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1177 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1178 other minor changes.
1179 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1180 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1181 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1182 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1183 course there's -X ..)
1184 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1185 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1186 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1188 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1189 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1190 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1191 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1192 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1239 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1240 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1267 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1269 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1270 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1271 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1272 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1273 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1274 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1275 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1276 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1277 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1278 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1279 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1280 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1281 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1282 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1283 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1284 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1286 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1321 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1322 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1323 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1324 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1325 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1326 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1327 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1328 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1329 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1539 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1540 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1541 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1542 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1543 program those options go to. So, for example,
1544 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1545 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1546 something complex. Closes: #89311
1547 * Made escape_shell output a lot better.

1689 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1690 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1691 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1692 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1749 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1750 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1751 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1752 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1753 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1755 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1756 but is mildly deprecated.
1757 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1758 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1759 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1760 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1761 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1762 switching to statoverrides..
1763 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1764 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1765 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1766 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1767 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1768 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1770 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1771 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1772 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1773 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1774 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1775 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1776 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1777 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1778 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1780 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1781 variable names, pod man pages).
1782 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1783 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1784 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1785 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1786 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1787 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1788 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1954 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1956 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1957 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1959 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1960 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1961 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2026 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2027 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2028 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2029 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2030 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2138 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

2202 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2204 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2205 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2206 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2207 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2208 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2209 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2210 notice until v2 is complete.
2211 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2212 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2213 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2214 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2215 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2216 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2218 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2219 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2220 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2221 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2342 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2343 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2345 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2346 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2347 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2348 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2349 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2432 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2433 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2434 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

2447 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2448 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100

2450 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2451 otherwise change the result at all.
2453 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2454 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2572 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
2573 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2574 I made some changes, though:
2575 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2576 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2577 that is a clear violation of policy.
2578 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2579 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2580 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2581 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2582 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2583 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2584 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2585 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2586 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2588 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2753 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2754 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2755 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2756 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2757 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2758 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2759 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2760 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2761 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2762 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2763 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2773 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

2775 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2776 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2777 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2778 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3038 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3039 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3040 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3041 more than 1 init script.

3555 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3556 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3557 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
3558 effect, either. (#30118)

3711 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3712 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3713 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3714 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3715 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3716 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3717 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3756 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3757 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3758 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3759 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3760 things you don't want them to.

4082 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4083 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4084 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4085 past week. Thanks, guys!
4087 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4088 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4089 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4090 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4091 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4092 would do in the same situation.
4093 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4094 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4096 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4098 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4099 permissions changed.
4100 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4101 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4102 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4103 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4104 files are treated identically.
4105 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4106 * Minor man page fixes.
4107 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4109 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4118 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4119 use -X multiple times, too.
4120 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4121 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4599 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4600 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running

4602 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4663 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4664 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4665 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4666 multiple binary packages.
4667 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4668 should rebuild them with this version.
4669 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4687 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4689 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4690 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4691 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4692 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4693 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4694 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4695 debian/README.debian.
4696 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4697 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4698 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4699 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4700 in a few situations.)

4736 * Multiple binary package support.
4737 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,

4739 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4741 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4742 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4743 auto-installed as parameters.
4744 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4746 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4749 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4750 the package build directory it is to act on.
4751 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4752 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4753 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
