25 debhelper (7.9.2) unstable; urgency=low

33 debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
35 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
36 changes are planned for that mode.
37 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
38 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
39 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
40 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
41 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
42 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
43 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
44 (genesis) still uses them.
45 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
46 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
47 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
48 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
49 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
50 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
51 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
52 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
53 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
54 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
55 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
56 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
57 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
58 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
59 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
60 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
61 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
62 commands. (See #570039)
63 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
65 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

74 * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,

106 * Updated French translation.
107 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
108 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
109 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
110 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
112 * Typo. Closes: #571968
113 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
114 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
115 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
116 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
117 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
118 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
119 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
120 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702
121 * dh: Allow --list-addons to be used when not in a source package.

151 * dh_bugfiles: Doc typo. Closes: #563269
152 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
153 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
154 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
155 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
156 options that they do not support.
157 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
158 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
159 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
160 (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)

203 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
204 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
205 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)

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

237 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
238 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
239 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
240 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
241 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
242 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
243 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
244 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
245 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
246 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
247 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
248 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
249 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
250 time soon.) Closes: #554509
251 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).

258 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
259 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
260 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
261 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
263 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
264 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
265 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

285 * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force

296 (It was only run once due to logging.)
297 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
298 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
299 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
300 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
301 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
302 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
303 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
304 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev

324 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
325 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
326 flag with arch all/any packages.
327 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
328 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package

488 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
489 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
490 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
491 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
492 that support it. Closes: #480577
493 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
494 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
495 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
497 - Adds support for cmake.
498 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
499 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
501 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
503 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
504 that use them. The options are:
505 --sourcedir, --destdir
506 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
507 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
508 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
509 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper

553 a dangling symlink, installing the dangling link as requested.
555 * dh_install: Fix fallback use of debian/tmp in v7 mode; a bug caused
556 it to put files inside a debian/tmp directory in the package build

572 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
573 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
574 warning or deprecation message.
575 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
576 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
577 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
578 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
579 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
580 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
581 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

766 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
767 to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific

779 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
780 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
781 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
782 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
784 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
785 that uses them. Affected options are:
786 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
787 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
788 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
789 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
790 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
791 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
792 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
793 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
794 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
795 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
796 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
797 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

870 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the

908 * dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a
909 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
910 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
911 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default

965 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command

967 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
968 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that

3043 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
3044 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
3045 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
3046 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

3191 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3192 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3193 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3194 dh_install, which ...
3195 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3196 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3197 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3198 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3199 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3200 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3201 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3202 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3203 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3204 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3205 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3206 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3207 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3208 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3209 other minor changes.
3210 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3211 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3212 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3213 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3214 course there's -X ..)
3215 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3216 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3217 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3219 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3220 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3221 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3222 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3223 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3268 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3269 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3270 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3271 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3298 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3300 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3301 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3302 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3303 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3304 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3305 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3306 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3307 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3308 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3309 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3310 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3311 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3312 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3313 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3314 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3315 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3317 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3334 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3335 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3336 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3337 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3338 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

3352 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3353 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3354 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3355 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3356 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3357 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3358 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3359 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3360 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3534 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3536 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3537 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3538 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3539 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3540 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3541 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3542 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3543 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3544 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3545 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3546 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3547 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3548 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3566 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
3568 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3569 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3570 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3571 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3572 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3573 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3574 program those options go to. So, for example,
3575 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3576 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3577 something complex. Closes: #89311

3717 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3718 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3719 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3720 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3721 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3722 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3723 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3724 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3778 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3780 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3781 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3782 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3783 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3784 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3785 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3786 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3787 but is mildly deprecated.
3788 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3789 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3790 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3791 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3792 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3793 switching to statoverrides..
3794 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3795 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3796 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3797 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3798 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3799 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3801 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3802 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3803 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3804 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3805 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3806 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3807 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3808 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3809 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3811 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3812 variable names, pod man pages).
3813 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3814 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3815 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3816 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3817 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3818 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3819 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3891 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3892 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3980 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3982 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3983 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
3984 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3985 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3986 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3987 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3988 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3990 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3991 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3992 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3994 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3996 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3997 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3998 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3999 should now be raised to severity important..
4000 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4001 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4038 debhelper (2.1.23) unstable; urgency=low
4040 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
4041 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
4042 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4043 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4044 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4054 debhelper (2.1.21) unstable; urgency=low
4056 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
4057 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
4058 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
4059 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
4060 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
4061 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatibility.

4092 there now exists a documented way to use dh_movefiles that does not
4093 have problems with empty directories that get left behind and so on, I

4138 shared libraries. This allows it to catch files like
4139 "liballeg-3.9.33.so" that are not in the *.so.* form it looks for, but

4166 * dh_installmodules: corrected the code added to maintainer scripts so it
4167 does not call depmod -a. update-modules (which it always called)_
4168 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
4169 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular
4170 kernels, and should be rebuilt. Closes: #71841

4212 * dh_shlibdeps: if it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it now prints out a line
4213 showing it is doing that when in verbose mode.

4215 rules.multi2 still uses it, but it has comments explaining the caveats

4233 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
4235 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4236 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4237 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4238 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4239 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4240 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4241 notice until v2 is complete.
4242 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4243 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4244 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4245 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4246 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4247 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4249 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4250 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4251 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4252 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4297 exists (wasn't because of a logic error). Closes: #66289

4369 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,

4373 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4374 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4376 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4377 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4378 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4379 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4380 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4461 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4462 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4463 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4464 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4465 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4466 bits until all files have been registered.

4476 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4477 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4478 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4479 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4480 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4481 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4482 otherwise change the result at all.
4484 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4485 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4486 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4503 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a

4505 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4507 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4508 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4509 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4510 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4605 I made some changes, though:
4606 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4607 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4608 that is a clear violation of policy.
4609 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4610 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4611 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4612 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4613 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4614 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4615 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4616 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4617 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4619 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4787 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4788 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4789 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4790 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4791 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4792 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4793 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4794 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5004 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
5005 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
5006 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

5019 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
5020 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.

5022 supported compatibility level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
5023 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

5036 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
5037 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5038 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5039 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

5115 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5116 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

5131 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
5132 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5133 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5181 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5530 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5531 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5532 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5533 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
5534 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.

5536 suidregister actually supports it.
5537 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5538 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5554 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5555 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).

5743 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5744 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5745 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5746 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5747 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5748 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6114 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6115 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6116 past week. Thanks, guys!
6118 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6119 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6120 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6121 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6122 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6123 would do in the same situation.
6124 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6125 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6127 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6129 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6130 permissions changed.
6131 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6132 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6133 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6134 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6135 files are treated identically.
6136 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6149 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6150 use -X multiple times, too.

6499 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6500 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6501 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
6502 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

6514 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6515 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6516 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6517 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6518 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6526 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
6527 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6548 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6549 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6550 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6551 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6552 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6553 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6554 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6575 the dh_* programs (#15497).

6629 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6630 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6631 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6632 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6633 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6686 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

6694 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6695 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6696 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6697 multiple binary packages.
6698 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6699 should rebuild them with this version.

6720 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6721 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6722 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6723 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6724 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6725 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6726 debian/README.debian.
6727 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6728 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6729 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6730 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6731 in a few situations.)

6765 is ready for general use.

6767 * Multiple binary package support.
6768 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6769 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6770 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6772 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6773 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6774 auto-installed as parameters.
6775 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6777 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6780 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6781 the package build directory it is to act on.
6782 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6783 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6784 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
