549 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
550 mess, as it uses debian/install.
551 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
552 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
553 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
554 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
555 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
556 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
557 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
558 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
559 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
560 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
561 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
563 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
564 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
565 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
566 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
567 course there's -X ..)
568 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
569 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
570 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
572 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
573 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
574 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
575 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
576 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

651 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
653 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
654 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
655 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
656 line, as well as in debian/rules.
657 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
658 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
659 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
660 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
661 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
662 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
663 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
664 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
665 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
666 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
667 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
668 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
670 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

1049 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
1050 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
1051 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which
1052 contained (arguably broken) absolute symlinks to real files, which were

1068 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
1069 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
1070 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1071 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1072 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1073 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1074 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1075 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1076 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1077 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1078 Closes: #88464, #77743
1079 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
1080 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
1081 us to deal with that gracefully.

1131 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1133 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1134 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1135 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1136 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1137 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1138 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1139 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1140 but is mildly deprecated.
1141 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1142 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1143 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1144 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1145 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1146 switching to statoverrides..
1147 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1148 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1149 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1150 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1151 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1152 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1154 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1155 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1156 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1157 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1158 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1159 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1160 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1161 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1162 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1164 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1165 variable names, pod man pages).
1166 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1167 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1168 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1169 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1170 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1171 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1172 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1244 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1245 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1247 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
1248 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

1338 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1339 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1340 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1341 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1343 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1344 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1345 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1350 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1351 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

1588 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1589 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1590 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1591 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1592 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1593 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1594 notice until v2 is complete.
1595 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1596 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1597 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1598 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1599 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1600 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1602 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1603 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1604 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

1729 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

1732 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

1816 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1817 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1818 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1819 bits until all files have been registered.

1830 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1831 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
1832 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
1833 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
1834 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1835 otherwise change the result at all.
1837 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1838 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

1958 I made some changes, though:
1959 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1960 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1961 that is a clear violation of policy.
1962 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1963 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1964 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1965 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1966 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1967 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1968 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1969 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1970 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1972 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2136 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2137 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2138 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2139 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2140 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2141 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2142 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2143 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2144 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2145 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2146 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2147 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2153 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2154 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2155 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2157 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2158 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2159 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2160 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2161 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2162 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

2855 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
2856 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

2885 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

2905 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

2907 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

3065 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
3066 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3067 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3068 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
3069 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
3070 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

3074 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
3076 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3077 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3078 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3079 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3080 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3086 * dh_clean: At the suggestion of James Troup <james@nocrew.org> now deletes
3087 files named *.P in .deps/ subdirectories. They are generated by automake.

3091 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
3093 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3094 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3095 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3096 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3097 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3098 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3099 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3100 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3101 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3111 debhelper (1.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
3113 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
3114 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
3115 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

3137 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3138 sections of shared libraries.
3139 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3140 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3141 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3142 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3143 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3144 things you don't want them to.
3145 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3146 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3173 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3174 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
3175 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

3203 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
3205 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3206 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3207 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3208 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3209 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3210 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3212 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3213 remove debian/files properly.
3214 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
3215 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
3216 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
3217 * Removed bogus menu file.

3231 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
3232 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
3233 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
3234 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
3235 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
3236 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

3265 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
3266 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

3268 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

3274 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
3275 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.

3277 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
3278 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
3279 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
3280 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3281 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3282 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3283 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3284 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3285 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
3286 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
3287 passed any switches.

3299 large chunks in the process.
3300 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
3301 install many oddly named files it died on before.

3468 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3469 past week. Thanks, guys!
3471 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3472 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3473 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3474 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3475 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3476 would do in the same situation.
3477 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3478 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3480 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3482 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3483 permissions changed.
3484 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3485 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3486 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3487 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3488 files are treated identically.

3502 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3503 use -X multiple times, too.

3816 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3817 a given package, or -i or -a.
3818 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3819 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3820 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3821 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

3823 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

3825 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4045 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4047 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4048 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4049 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4050 multiple binary packages.
4051 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4052 should rebuild them with this version.
4053 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4057 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
4059 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
4060 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

4064 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
4066 * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file.

4069 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 17 Oct 1997 14:18:26 -0400
4071 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4073 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4074 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4075 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4076 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4077 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4078 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4079 debian/README.debian.
4080 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4081 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4082 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4083 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4084 in a few situations.)

4088 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
4090 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.
4092 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 10 Oct 1997 15:24:40 -0400
4094 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

4100 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
4102 * Added dh_strip to strip binaries and libraries.

4105 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 28 Sep 1997 20:46:32 -0400
4107 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
4109 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
4110 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
4111 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.
4113 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
4115 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4117 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4118 is ready for general use.
4119 * Added man pages for all commands.
4120 * Multiple binary package support.
4121 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4122 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4123 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4125 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4126 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4127 auto-installed as parameters.
4128 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4130 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4133 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4134 the package build directory it is to act on.
4135 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4136 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4137 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.

4144 ready to replace debstd.
