3 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
4 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
5 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
6 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
7 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
8 * dh: Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
9 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
10 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
11 * dh: Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
12 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
13 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
14 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
15 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
16 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
17 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
18 for the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
19 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
20 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.
21 * Avoid writing debhelper log files in no-act mode. Closes: #640586
22 * Tighten parsing of DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
23 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
24 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
25 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.

263 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
264 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of

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

275 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
276 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
277 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
278 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
279 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
280 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
281 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
282 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
283 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
284 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
285 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
286 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
287 commands. (See #570039)
288 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

337 * Typo. Closes: #571968
338 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
339 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed

520 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
521 (It was only run once due to logging.)
522 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
523 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
524 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
525 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
526 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
527 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
528 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293

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

710 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
711 contributed by Modestas Vainius
712 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
713 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
714 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
715 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
716 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
717 that support it. Closes: #480577
718 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
719 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
720 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
722 - Adds support for cmake.
723 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
724 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
726 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
728 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
729 that use them. The options are:
730 --sourcedir, --destdir
731 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
732 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
733 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
734 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
735 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

800 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
801 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
802 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
803 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
804 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
805 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
806 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

1018 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,

1021 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1022 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1546 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1547 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1549 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1550 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1551 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

1568 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1569 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1570 script and then remove the python files.
1571 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1572 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1573 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1574 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1575 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1578 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

1580 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1701 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1702 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1703 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1704 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1705 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1706 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1707 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1708 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1709 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1710 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1712 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1713 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1714 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1715 the not too-distant future).
1716 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1717 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

3416 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3417 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3418 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3419 dh_install, which ...
3420 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3421 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3422 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3423 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3424 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3425 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3426 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3427 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3428 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3429 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3430 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3431 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3432 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3433 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3434 other minor changes.
3435 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3436 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3437 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3438 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3439 course there's -X ..)
3440 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3441 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3442 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3444 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3445 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3446 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3447 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3448 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3493 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3494 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3495 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3496 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3498 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
3499 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

3523 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3525 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3526 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3527 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3528 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3529 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3530 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3531 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3532 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3533 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3534 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3535 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3536 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3537 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3538 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3539 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3540 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3542 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3558 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3559 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3560 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3561 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3562 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3563 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3564 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3575 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3577 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3578 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3579 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3580 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3581 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3582 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3583 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3584 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3585 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3769 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3770 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3771 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3797 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3798 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3799 program those options go to. So, for example,
3800 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3801 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

4003 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4005 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4006 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4007 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4008 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4009 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4010 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4011 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4012 but is mildly deprecated.
4013 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4014 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4015 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4016 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4017 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4018 switching to statoverrides..
4019 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4020 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4021 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4022 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4023 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4024 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4026 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4027 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4028 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4029 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4030 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4031 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4032 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4033 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4034 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4036 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4037 variable names, pod man pages).
4038 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4039 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4040 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4041 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4042 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4043 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4044 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4113 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4114 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4115 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4116 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4117 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4118 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4119 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4120 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4121 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

4210 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4211 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4212 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4213 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4215 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4216 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4217 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4219 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4221 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4222 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4223 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4224 should now be raised to severity important..

4460 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4461 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4462 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4463 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4464 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4465 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4466 notice until v2 is complete.
4467 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4468 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4469 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4470 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4471 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4472 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4474 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4475 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4601 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4602 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4603 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4604 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4605 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4686 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4687 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4688 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4689 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4690 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4691 bits until all files have been registered.

4700 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4701 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4702 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4703 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4704 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4705 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4706 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4707 otherwise change the result at all.
4709 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4710 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4711 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4729 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4730 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4732 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4733 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4734 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4735 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4774 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

4829 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4830 I made some changes, though:
4831 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4832 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4833 that is a clear violation of policy.
4834 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4835 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4836 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4837 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4838 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4839 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4840 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4841 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4842 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4844 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4888 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

5007 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
5008 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
5009 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5010 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5011 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5012 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5013 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5014 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5015 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5016 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5017 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5018 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5019 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5025 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
5026 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
5027 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5029 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5030 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5031 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5032 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5033 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5034 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
5036 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
5037 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5970 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

5972 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6009 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6010 sections of shared libraries.
6011 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6012 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6013 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6014 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6015 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6016 things you don't want them to.
6017 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
6018 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

6077 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6078 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6079 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6080 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6081 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6082 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6084 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6085 remove debian/files properly.
6086 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

6088 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

6137 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6138 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6150 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6151 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6152 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6153 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6154 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6155 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6156 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6157 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6340 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6341 past week. Thanks, guys!
6343 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6344 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6345 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6346 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6347 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6348 would do in the same situation.
6349 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6350 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6352 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6354 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6355 permissions changed.

6357 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6358 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6359 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6360 files are treated identically.

6504 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.

6650 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6652 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6653 are supported. (#16935)

6671 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6672 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6681 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6682 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6685 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6686 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6687 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6688 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6689 a given package, or -i or -a.
6690 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6691 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6692 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6693 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6694 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6695 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6696 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6697 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6725 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6774 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6775 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6776 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6777 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

6987 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6989 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6990 is ready for general use.
6991 * Added man pages for all commands.
6992 * Multiple binary package support.
6993 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6994 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6995 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6997 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6998 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6999 auto-installed as parameters.
7000 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7002 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7005 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7006 the package build directory it is to act on.
7007 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7008 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7009 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
