32 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
34 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
35 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
36 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
37 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
38 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
40 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
41 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
42 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
44 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
45 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
46 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
47 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
48 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
49 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
50 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
51 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
52 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
53 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
54 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
55 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
56 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.
57 * Avoid writing debhelper log files in no-act mode. Closes: #640586
58 * Tighten parsing of DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

308 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
309 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
310 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
311 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
312 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
313 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
314 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
315 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
316 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
317 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
318 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
319 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
320 commands. (See #570039)
321 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

498 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
499 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
500 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
501 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
502 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
503 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
504 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
505 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
506 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
507 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
508 time soon.) Closes: #554509
509 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
511 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.

514 document id. Closes: #555677

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

746 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
747 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
748 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
749 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
750 that support it. Closes: #480577
751 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
752 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
753 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
755 - Adds support for cmake.
756 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
757 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
759 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
761 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
762 that use them. The options are:
763 --sourcedir, --destdir
764 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
765 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
766 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
767 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
768 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1040 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.

1043 that uses them. Affected options are:
1044 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,

1046 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

1051 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1052 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1053 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1054 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1055 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1579 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1580 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1582 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1583 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1584 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

1601 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1602 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1603 script and then remove the python files.
1604 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1605 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1606 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1607 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1608 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1609 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1610 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1611 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1612 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1613 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1734 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1735 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1736 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1737 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1738 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1739 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1740 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1741 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1742 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1743 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1745 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1746 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1747 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2127 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3449 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3450 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3451 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3452 dh_install, which ...
3453 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3454 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3455 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3456 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3457 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3458 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3459 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3460 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3461 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3462 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3463 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3464 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3465 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3466 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3467 other minor changes.
3468 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3469 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3470 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3471 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3472 course there's -X ..)

3474 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

3477 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3478 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

3525 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3526 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3527 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3528 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3529 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3556 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3558 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3559 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3560 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3561 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3562 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3563 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3564 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3565 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3566 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3567 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3568 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3569 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3570 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3571 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3572 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3573 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3575 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3592 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the

3608 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3610 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3611 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3612 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3613 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3614 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3615 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3616 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3617 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3618 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3798 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3799 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3800 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3801 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3802 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3803 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3804 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3830 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3831 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3832 program those options go to. So, for example,
3833 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3834 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3977 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3978 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3979 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3980 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3981 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3982 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
3983 Closes: #88464, #77743
3984 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
3985 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
3986 us to deal with that gracefully.
3987 * dh_makeshlibs: now uses objdump, should be more accurate. Closes:
3989 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197
3990 * dh_installdocs and dh_link have been able to make doc-dir symlinks for
3991 a while, Closes: #51225

4036 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4038 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4039 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4040 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4041 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4042 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4043 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4044 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4045 but is mildly deprecated.
4046 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4047 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4048 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4049 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4050 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4051 switching to statoverrides..
4052 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4053 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4054 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4055 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4056 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4057 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4059 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4060 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4061 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4062 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4063 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4064 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4065 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4066 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4067 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4069 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4070 variable names, pod man pages).
4071 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4072 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4073 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4074 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4075 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4076 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4077 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4149 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4150 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

4152 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

4243 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4244 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4245 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4246 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4248 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4249 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4250 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4252 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4254 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4255 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4256 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4493 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4494 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4495 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4496 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4497 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4498 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4499 notice until v2 is complete.
4500 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4501 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4502 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4503 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4504 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4505 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4507 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4508 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4509 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4510 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4721 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4722 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4723 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4724 bits until all files have been registered.

4739 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

4742 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4743 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4863 I made some changes, though:
4864 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4865 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4866 that is a clear violation of policy.
4867 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4868 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4869 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4870 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4871 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4872 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4873 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4874 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4875 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4877 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4999 a strict reading of the emacsen policy indicates that such a test
5000 shouldn't be needed, there may be edge cases (cf bug 44924), where it

5040 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
5041 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
5042 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5043 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5044 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5045 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5046 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5047 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5048 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5049 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5050 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5051 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5052 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5058 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
5059 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
5060 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5062 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5063 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5064 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5065 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5066 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5067 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5124 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
5125 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

5998 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
5999 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6000 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6001 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6002 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6003 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6004 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6005 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6006 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6019 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

6042 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6043 sections of shared libraries.
6044 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6045 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6046 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6047 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6048 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6049 things you don't want them to.

6112 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6113 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6114 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6115 I apologize for the inconvenience.

6118 remove debian/files properly.
6119 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

6188 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem

6376 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6377 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6378 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6379 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6380 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6381 would do in the same situation.
6382 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6383 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6385 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6387 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6388 permissions changed.

6390 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6391 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6392 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6393 files are treated identically.

6721 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6722 a given package, or -i or -a.
6723 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6724 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6725 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6726 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6727 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6728 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6730 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6976 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6978 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6979 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6980 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6981 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6982 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6983 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6984 debian/README.debian.
6985 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6986 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6987 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6988 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6989 in a few situations.)

6993 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
6995 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

6999 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

7005 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low

7012 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
7014 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
7015 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
7016 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.
7018 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
7020 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7022 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7023 is ready for general use.
7024 * Added man pages for all commands.
7025 * Multiple binary package support.
7026 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7027 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7028 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7030 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7031 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7032 auto-installed as parameters.
7033 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7035 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7038 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7039 the package build directory it is to act on.
7040 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7041 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7042 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.

7049 ready to replace debstd.
