166 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
168 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
169 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
170 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
171 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
172 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
174 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
175 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
176 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
178 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
179 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
180 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
181 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
182 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
183 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
184 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
185 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
186 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
187 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
188 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
189 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
190 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.

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

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

317 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
318 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
319 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
320 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
321 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
322 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
323 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

433 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
434 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.

443 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
444 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
445 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
446 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
447 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
448 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
449 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
450 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
451 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
452 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
453 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
454 commands. (See #570039)

505 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
506 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
507 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
508 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
509 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
510 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
511 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

889 - Adds support for cmake.
890 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
891 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.

1173 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
1174 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1176 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1177 that uses them. Affected options are:
1178 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1179 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1180 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
1181 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,

1183 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
1184 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
1185 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1186 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1187 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1188 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1189 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1300 * dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a
1301 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
1302 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
1303 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default

1359 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1360 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1361 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting

1713 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1714 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1716 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1717 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

1738 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1739 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1740 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1741 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1742 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1743 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1745 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

1747 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1873 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1874 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1875 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1876 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1877 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1879 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1880 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1881 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3581 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3583 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3584 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3585 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3586 dh_install, which ...
3587 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3588 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3589 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3590 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3591 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3592 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3593 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3594 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3595 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3596 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3597 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3598 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3599 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3600 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3601 other minor changes.
3602 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3603 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3604 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3605 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3606 course there's -X ..)
3607 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3608 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3609 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3611 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3612 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3613 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3614 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3615 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3659 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3660 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3661 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3662 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3663 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3665 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

3690 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3692 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3693 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3694 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3695 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3696 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3697 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3698 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3699 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3700 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3701 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3702 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3703 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3704 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3705 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3706 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3707 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3709 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3727 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3728 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!

3742 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3744 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3745 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3746 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3747 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3748 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3749 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3750 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3751 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3752 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3936 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3937 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

3964 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3965 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3966 program those options go to. So, for example,
3967 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3968 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

4110 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
4111 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
4112 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4113 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4114 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4115 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

4170 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4172 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4173 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4174 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4175 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4176 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4177 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4178 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4179 but is mildly deprecated.
4180 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4181 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4182 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4183 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4184 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4185 switching to statoverrides..
4186 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4187 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4188 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4189 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4190 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4191 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4193 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4194 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4195 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4196 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4197 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4198 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4199 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4200 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4201 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4203 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4204 variable names, pod man pages).
4205 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4206 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4207 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4208 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4209 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4210 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4211 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4377 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4383 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in

4627 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4628 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4629 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4630 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4631 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4632 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4633 notice until v2 is complete.
4634 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatible
4635 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4636 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4637 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4638 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4639 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4641 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4642 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4643 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4766 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4768 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4769 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4770 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4771 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4855 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4856 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4857 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4858 bits until all files have been registered.

4995 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4996 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4997 I made some changes, though:
4998 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4999 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
5000 that is a clear violation of policy.
5001 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
5002 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
5003 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
5004 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
5005 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
5006 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
5007 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
5008 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
5009 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
5011 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5176 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5177 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5178 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5179 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5180 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5181 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5182 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5183 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5184 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5185 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5186 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5196 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

6134 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6135 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6136 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6137 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6138 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6139 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6140 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6179 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6180 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6181 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6182 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6183 things you don't want them to.

6505 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6506 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6507 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6508 past week. Thanks, guys!
6510 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6511 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6512 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6513 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6514 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6515 would do in the same situation.
6516 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6517 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6519 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6521 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6522 permissions changed.
6523 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6524 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6525 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6526 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6527 files are treated identically.
6528 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6529 * Minor man page fixes.
6530 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6532 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6541 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6542 use -X multiple times, too.
6543 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6544 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

7022 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
7023 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
7024 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
7025 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

7086 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
7087 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
7088 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
7089 multiple binary packages.
7090 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
7091 should rebuild them with this version.

7112 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7113 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7114 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7115 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7116 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7117 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7118 debian/README.debian.
7119 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7120 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7121 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7122 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7123 in a few situations.)

7162 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7164 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7165 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7166 auto-installed as parameters.
7167 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7169 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7172 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7173 the package build directory it is to act on.
7174 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7175 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7176 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
