3 * dh: The --before --after --until and --remaining options are deprecated.
4 Use override targets instead.
5 * Assume that the package can be cleaned (i.e. the build directory can be
6 removed) as long as it is built out-of-source tree and can be configured.
7 This is useful for derivative buildsystems which generate Makefiles.

76 not being acted on. dh can sometimes produce such logs by accident
77 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
78 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
79 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur
80 for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development,

90 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
91 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
92 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
94 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
95 changes may be added to that mode.
96 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
97 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
98 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
99 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
100 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
101 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
102 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
103 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

126 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
127 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
128 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
129 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
130 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

138 python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in

142 * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
144 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
145 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
146 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
147 dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443

151 * Explicitly build-depend on a new enough perl-base. Closes: #601188
152 * dh: Inhibit logging when an override target runs the overridden command,
153 to avoid unexpected behavior if the command succeeded but the overall
154 target fails. Closes: #601037
155 * Fix deprecated command list on translated debhelper(7) man pages.
157 * dh: Improve filtering in dh_listpackages example. Closes: #604561
158 * dh: Add support for build-arch, build-indep, install-arch and
159 install-indep sequences. Closes: #604563

208 changes are planned for that mode.
209 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
210 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
211 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
212 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
213 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
214 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
215 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
216 (genesis) still uses them.
217 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
218 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
219 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
220 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
221 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
222 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
223 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
224 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
225 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
226 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
227 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
228 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
229 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
230 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
231 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
232 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
233 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
234 commands. (See #570039)
235 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
237 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

280 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
281 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
282 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
284 * Typo. Closes: #571968
285 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
286 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
287 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
288 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
289 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only

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

657 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
658 contributed by Modestas Vainius
659 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
660 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
661 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
662 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
663 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
664 that support it. Closes: #480577
665 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
666 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
667 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
669 - Adds support for cmake.
670 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
671 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
673 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
675 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
676 that use them. The options are:
677 --sourcedir, --destdir
678 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
679 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
680 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
681 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
682 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

747 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
748 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
749 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
750 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
751 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
752 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be

1496 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1497 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1498 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1499 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1500 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1501 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1502 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1503 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1504 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
1505 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
1506 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

1513 package install. Closes: #415717
1514 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1515 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1516 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1517 script and then remove the python files.
1518 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1519 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1520 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1521 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1522 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1523 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1524 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1525 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1526 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1527 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1657 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1659 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1660 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1661 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3363 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3364 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3365 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3366 dh_install, which ...
3367 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3368 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3369 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3370 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3371 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3372 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3373 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3374 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3375 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3376 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3377 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3378 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3379 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3380 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3381 other minor changes.
3382 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3383 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3384 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3385 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3386 course there's -X ..)
3387 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3388 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3389 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3391 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3392 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3393 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3394 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3395 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3440 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3441 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3442 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3443 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3470 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3472 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3473 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3474 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3475 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3476 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3477 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3478 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3479 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3480 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3481 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3482 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3483 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3484 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3485 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3486 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi

3524 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3525 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3526 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3527 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3528 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3529 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3530 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3531 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3532 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3712 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3713 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3714 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3715 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3716 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3717 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3718 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3743 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3744 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3745 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3746 program those options go to. So, for example,
3747 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3748 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3892 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3893 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3894 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3895 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3952 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3953 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3954 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3955 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3956 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3959 but is mildly deprecated.
3960 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.

3963 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you

3967 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3968 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3969 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3970 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3971 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3973 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3974 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3975 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3976 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3977 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3978 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3979 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3980 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3981 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3983 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3984 variable names, pod man pages).
3985 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3986 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3987 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3988 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3989 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3990 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3991 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4063 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4064 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

4156 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4157 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4158 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4159 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4160 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4162 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4163 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4164 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4166 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4168 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4169 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4170 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4171 should now be raised to severity important..

4407 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4408 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4409 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4410 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4411 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4412 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4413 notice until v2 is complete.
4414 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4415 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4416 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4417 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4418 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4419 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4421 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4545 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4546 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4548 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4549 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4550 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4551 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4552 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4553 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

4634 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4635 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4636 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4637 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4638 bits until all files have been registered.

4649 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4650 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4651 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4652 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4653 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4654 otherwise change the result at all.
4656 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4657 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4776 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4777 I made some changes, though:
4778 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4779 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4780 that is a clear violation of policy.
4781 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4782 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4783 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4784 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4785 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4786 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4787 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4788 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4789 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4791 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4835 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4836 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4837 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4959 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4960 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4961 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4962 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4963 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4964 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4965 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4966 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4976 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4978 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4979 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows

4981 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5704 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5705 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5708 suidregister actually supports it.

5917 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5918 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5919 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6024 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6025 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6026 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6027 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6028 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6029 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6031 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6032 remove debian/files properly.
6033 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

6035 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

6287 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6288 past week. Thanks, guys!
6290 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6291 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6292 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6293 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6294 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6295 would do in the same situation.
6296 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6297 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6299 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6301 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6302 permissions changed.

6304 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6305 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6306 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6307 files are treated identically.

6597 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6599 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6600 are supported. (#16935)

6618 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6619 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6628 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6629 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6633 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6634 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6635 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6636 a given package, or -i or -a.
6637 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6638 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6639 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6640 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6641 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6642 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6643 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6644 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6645 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

6648 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

6721 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6722 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6723 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6724 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
