100 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
102 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
103 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
104 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
105 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
106 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
108 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
109 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
110 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
112 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
113 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
114 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
115 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
116 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
117 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
118 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
119 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
120 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
121 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
122 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
123 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
124 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.

158 * dpkg-buildflags is only used to set environment in v9, to avoid
159 re-breaking packages that were already broken a first time by

232 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
233 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur

248 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more

252 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
253 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
254 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
255 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
256 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing

367 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
368 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
369 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
370 (genesis) still uses them.

375 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
376 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
377 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
378 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
379 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
380 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
381 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
382 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
383 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
384 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
385 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
386 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
387 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
388 commands. (See #570039)
389 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

497 * dh(1): Add an example of using an override target to avoid
498 dh running several commands. Closes: #560600

512 without limiting the max number of parallel jobs. (Modestas Vainius)
513 * dh_makeshlibs: Temporarily revert fix for #557603, as it caused
514 dpkg-gensymbols to see libraries not in the regular search path and

529 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still

540 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
541 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop

543 with dh's makefile parser in the future.) Closes: #557307

563 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
564 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
565 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
566 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
567 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
568 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
569 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
570 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
571 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
572 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
573 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
574 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
575 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
576 time soon.) Closes: #554509
577 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
579 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
580 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
581 * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
582 document id. Closes: #555677
583 * Typo. Closes: #555659
584 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
585 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
586 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
587 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
589 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
590 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
591 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

608 * dh_perl: Do not look at perl scripts under /usr/share/doc.
610 * Allow dpkg-architecture to print errors to stderr. Closes: #548636
611 * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force
612 to setup.py install to ensure that timestamps do not prevent installation
613 of the scripts built for the default python, with unversioned shebang
614 lines. Closes: #547510 (Thanks, Andrew Straw)

621 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
622 (It was only run once due to logging.)
623 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
624 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
625 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
626 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
627 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
628 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
629 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
630 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
631 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev
632 is installed for the first package. Closes: #546337

650 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
651 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
652 flag with arch all/any packages.
653 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
654 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
655 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
656 situation. Closes: #540794

668 by adding add_command_options and remove_command_options to the interface.

811 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
812 contributed by Modestas Vainius
813 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
814 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
815 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
816 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
817 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
818 that support it. Closes: #480577
819 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
820 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
821 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
823 - Adds support for cmake.
824 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
825 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
827 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
829 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
830 that use them. The options are:
831 --sourcedir, --destdir
832 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
833 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
834 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
835 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
836 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1108 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1110 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1111 that uses them. Affected options are:
1112 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1113 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1114 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

1119 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1120 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1121 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1122 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1123 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1669 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses

1671 script and then remove the python files.
1672 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1673 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1674 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1675 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1676 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1677 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1679 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1680 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1681 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1805 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1806 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1807 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1808 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1809 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1810 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1811 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1813 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1814 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1815 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2037 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
2038 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
2039 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are

3517 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3518 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3519 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3520 dh_install, which ...
3521 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3522 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3523 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3524 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3525 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3526 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3527 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3528 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3529 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3530 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3531 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3532 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3533 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3534 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3535 other minor changes.
3536 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3537 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3538 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3539 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3540 course there's -X ..)
3541 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3542 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3543 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3545 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3546 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3547 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3548 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3549 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3596 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3624 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3626 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3627 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3628 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3629 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3630 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3631 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3632 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3633 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3634 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3635 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3636 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3637 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3638 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3639 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3640 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3641 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3643 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3678 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3679 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3680 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3681 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3682 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3683 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3684 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3685 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

4046 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4047 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4048 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4049 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

4104 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4106 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4107 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4108 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4109 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4110 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4111 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4112 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4113 but is mildly deprecated.
4114 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4115 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4116 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4117 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4118 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4119 switching to statoverrides..
4120 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4121 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4122 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4123 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4124 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4125 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4127 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4128 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4129 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4130 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4131 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4132 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4133 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4134 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4135 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4137 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4138 variable names, pod man pages).
4139 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4140 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4141 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4142 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4143 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4144 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4145 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4311 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4317 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4318 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4561 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4562 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4563 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4564 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4565 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4566 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4567 notice until v2 is complete.
4568 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4569 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4570 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4571 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4572 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4573 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4575 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4576 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4577 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4578 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4702 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4789 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4790 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4791 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4792 bits until all files have been registered.

4931 I made some changes, though:
4932 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4933 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4934 that is a clear violation of policy.
4935 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4936 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4937 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4938 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4939 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4940 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4941 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4942 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4943 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4945 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4987 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

4991 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

5110 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5111 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5112 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5113 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5114 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5115 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5116 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5117 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5118 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5119 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5120 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

6038 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
6039 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
6040 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
6041 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
6042 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
6043 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

6049 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
6050 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6051 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6052 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6053 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6066 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
6067 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6068 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6069 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6070 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6071 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6072 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6073 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6074 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6087 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

6110 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6111 sections of shared libraries.
6112 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6113 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6114 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6115 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6116 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6117 things you don't want them to.
6118 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
6119 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

6146 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
6147 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
6148 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

6178 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6179 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6180 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6181 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6182 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6183 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6185 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6186 remove debian/files properly.
6187 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
6188 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
6189 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
6190 * Removed bogus menu file.

6206 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
6207 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

6239 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6253 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6254 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6255 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6256 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6257 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6258 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6260 passed any switches.

6272 large chunks in the process.
6273 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
6274 install many oddly named files it died on before.

6441 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6442 past week. Thanks, guys!
6444 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6445 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6446 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6447 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6448 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6449 would do in the same situation.
6450 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6451 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6453 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6455 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6456 permissions changed.

6458 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6459 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6460 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6461 files are treated identically.
6462 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6473 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
6474 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6475 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6476 use -X multiple times, too.
6477 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6478 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

7010 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
7011 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
7012 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
7013 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.

7018 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
7020 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
7021 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
7022 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
7023 multiple binary packages.
7024 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
7025 should rebuild them with this version.
7026 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

7044 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7046 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7047 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7048 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7049 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7050 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7051 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7052 debian/README.debian.
7053 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7054 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7055 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7056 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7057 in a few situations.)

7088 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7090 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7091 is ready for general use.
7092 * Added man pages for all commands.
7093 * Multiple binary package support.
7094 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7095 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7096 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7098 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7099 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7100 auto-installed as parameters.
7101 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7103 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7106 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7107 the package build directory it is to act on.
7108 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7109 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7110 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
