5 * Record debhelper commands that successfully finish in a per-package log
7 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
8 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
9 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
10 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
11 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
12 planned but not yet implemented.)
13 * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
14 if the Makefile has such a target.
15 * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
16 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
17 * dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
18 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
19 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
20 but not yet implemented.)

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

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

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

2048 * Removed a seemingly useless -dDepends in dh_shlibdeps's call to

2131 * dh_strip: If a file is an ELF shared binary, does not have a .so.* in its

2149 debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
2151 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
2152 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
2153 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
2154 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
2155 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
2156 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
2157 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573

2185 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2187 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2188 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2189 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2190 dh_install, which ...
2191 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2192 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2193 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2194 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2195 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2196 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2197 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2198 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2199 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2200 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2201 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2202 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2203 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2204 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2205 other minor changes.
2206 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2207 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2208 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2209 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2210 course there's -X ..)
2211 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2212 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2213 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2215 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2216 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2217 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2218 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2219 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2261 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
2263 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2264 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2265 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2266 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2267 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
2269 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
2270 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

2289 * dh_installxfonts: separate multiple commands with \n so sed doesn't get
2290 upset. Closes: #131322
2292 -- Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> Tue, 29 Jan 2002 18:58:58 -0500
2294 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2296 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2297 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2298 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2299 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2300 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2301 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2302 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2303 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2304 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2305 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2306 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2307 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2308 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2309 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2310 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2311 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2313 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2319 * Improved dh_installxfonts some more:
2320 - Better indenting of generated code.
2321 - Better ordering of generated code (minor fix).

2325 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
2327 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
2329 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2330 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2331 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2332 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2333 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2334 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
2335 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

2346 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2348 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2349 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2350 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2351 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2352 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2353 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2354 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2355 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2356 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
2357 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
2358 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.
2359 * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the
2360 distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used
2361 by: 3 packages (bugs filed).

2532 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2533 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2534 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2535 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2536 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2537 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2538 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2539 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2540 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2541 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2542 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2543 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2544 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2564 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2565 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2566 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2567 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2568 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2569 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2570 program those options go to. So, for example,
2571 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2572 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2714 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2715 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2716 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2717 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2718 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2719 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2776 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2777 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2778 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2779 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2780 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2781 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2782 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2783 but is mildly deprecated.
2784 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2785 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2786 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2787 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2788 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2789 switching to statoverrides..
2790 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2791 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2792 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2793 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2794 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2795 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2797 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2798 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2799 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2800 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2801 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2802 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2803 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2804 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2805 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2807 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2808 variable names, pod man pages).
2809 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2810 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2811 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2812 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2813 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2814 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2815 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2987 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in

3038 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3039 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3040 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3053 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

3231 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3232 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3233 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3234 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3235 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3236 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3237 notice until v2 is complete.
3238 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3239 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3240 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3241 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3242 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3243 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3245 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3246 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3247 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3248 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3372 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3459 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3460 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3461 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

3535 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
3536 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

3601 I made some changes, though:
3602 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3603 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3604 that is a clear violation of policy.
3605 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3606 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3607 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3608 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3609 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3610 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3611 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3612 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3613 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3615 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3783 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3784 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3785 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3786 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3787 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3788 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3789 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3790 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4032 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
4033 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4034 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4035 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

4038 current compatability level is equal to that number.

4066 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.

4111 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4112 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4113 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4128 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4129 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4175 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)

4177 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4545 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
4547 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4548 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4549 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4550 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4551 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4552 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4553 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4554 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4582 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4583 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4584 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
4585 effect, either. (#30118)

4721 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4722 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4723 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4738 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4739 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4740 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4741 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4742 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4743 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4744 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4783 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4784 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4785 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4786 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4787 things you don't want them to.

4851 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4852 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5109 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5110 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5111 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5112 past week. Thanks, guys!
5114 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5115 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5116 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5117 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5118 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5119 would do in the same situation.
5120 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5121 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5123 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5125 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5126 permissions changed.
5127 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5128 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5129 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5130 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5131 files are treated identically.
5132 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5146 use -X multiple times, too.

5522 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
5523 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
5524 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.

5544 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5545 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5546 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5547 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5548 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5549 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5550 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5628 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5629 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5718 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5719 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5720 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5721 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5722 debian/README.debian.
5723 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5724 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5725 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5726 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5727 in a few situations.)

5768 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright

5773 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5776 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5777 the package build directory it is to act on.
5778 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5779 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5780 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
