13 they use the right new directory. Closes: #362820

15 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page

26 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that

28 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some
29 other arch, and debhelper will now support this.

142 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
143 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
144 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
145 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

178 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

300 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1622 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1623 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1624 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1625 dh_install, which ...
1626 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1627 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1628 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1629 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1630 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1631 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1632 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1633 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1634 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1635 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1636 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1637 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1638 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1639 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1640 other minor changes.
1641 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1642 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1643 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1644 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1645 course there's -X ..)
1646 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1647 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1648 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1650 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1651 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1652 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1653 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1654 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1701 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1702 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1729 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1731 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1732 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1733 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1734 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1735 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1736 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1737 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1738 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1739 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1740 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1741 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1742 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1743 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1744 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1745 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1746 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1748 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1781 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1783 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1784 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1785 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1786 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1787 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1788 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1789 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1790 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1791 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2149 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2150 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2151 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2152 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2153 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2154 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2211 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2212 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2213 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2214 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2215 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2216 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2217 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2218 but is mildly deprecated.
2219 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2220 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2221 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2222 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2223 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2224 switching to statoverrides..
2225 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2226 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2227 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2228 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2229 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2230 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2232 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2233 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2234 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2235 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2236 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2237 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2238 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2239 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2240 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2242 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2243 variable names, pod man pages).
2244 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2245 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2246 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2247 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2248 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2249 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2250 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2322 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2323 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2325 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2416 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2419 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2421 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2422 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2423 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2664 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2666 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2667 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2668 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2669 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2670 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2671 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2672 notice until v2 is complete.
2673 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2674 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2675 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2676 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2677 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2678 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2680 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2681 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2682 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2804 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2805 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2807 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2809 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2810 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2894 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2895 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2896 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2897 bits until all files have been registered.

3036 I made some changes, though:
3037 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3038 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3039 that is a clear violation of policy.
3040 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3041 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3042 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3043 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3044 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3045 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3046 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's

3069 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,

3215 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3216 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3217 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3218 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3219 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3220 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3221 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3222 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3223 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3224 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3225 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4157 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

4173 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4174 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4175 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4176 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4177 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4178 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4179 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4218 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4219 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4220 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4221 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4222 things you don't want them to.

4550 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4551 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4552 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4553 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4554 would do in the same situation.
4555 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4556 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4558 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4560 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4561 permissions changed.
4562 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4563 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4564 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4565 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4566 files are treated identically.
4567 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4568 * Minor man page fixes.
4569 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4570 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4571 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4577 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4578 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4579 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4580 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4581 use -X multiple times, too.
4582 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4583 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4589 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping

4604 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
4605 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4606 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4607 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4608 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4609 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
4610 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
4611 shape if you're starting a new package.

4640 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4641 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4642 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4643 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

4710 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4711 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4712 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4713 no packages use the old behavior.

4888 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4893 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4894 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4895 a given package, or -i or -a.
4896 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4897 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4898 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4899 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4900 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4901 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4902 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4903 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5059 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5060 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5061 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5062 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5063 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5064 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5113 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
5115 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5116 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5117 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5118 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5119 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5123 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5125 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5126 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5127 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5128 multiple binary packages.
5129 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5130 should rebuild them with this version.
5131 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5149 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5151 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5152 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5153 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5154 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5155 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5156 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5157 debian/README.debian.
5158 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5159 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5160 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5161 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5162 in a few situations.)

5166 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5168 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

5193 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5195 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5196 is ready for general use.
5197 * Added man pages for all commands.
5198 * Multiple binary package support.
5199 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5200 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5201 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5203 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5204 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5205 auto-installed as parameters.
5206 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5208 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5211 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5212 the package build directory it is to act on.
5213 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5214 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5215 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
