51 * dh_clean: Remove debhelper logs for all packages, including packages
52 not being acted on. dh can sometimes produce such logs by accident
53 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
54 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
55 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur
56 for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development,
57 and it should be safe to clean them all. Closes: #623446

66 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
67 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
68 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
70 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
71 changes may be added to that mode.
72 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761

74 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
75 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
76 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
77 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
78 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
79 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.
80 * Removed old example rules files.
81 * dh_installgsettings: New command to handle gsettings schema files.

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

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

121 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
122 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to

186 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
187 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
188 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
189 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
190 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
191 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
192 (genesis) still uses them.
193 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
194 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
195 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
196 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
197 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
198 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
199 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
200 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
201 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
202 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
203 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
204 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
205 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
206 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
207 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
208 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
209 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
210 commands. (See #570039)
211 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
213 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

257 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
258 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
260 * Typo. Closes: #571968
261 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
262 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
263 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
264 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior

633 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
634 contributed by Modestas Vainius
635 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
636 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
637 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
638 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
639 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
640 that support it. Closes: #480577
641 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
642 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
643 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
645 - Adds support for cmake.
646 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
647 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
649 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
651 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
652 that use them. The options are:
653 --sourcedir, --destdir
654 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
655 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
656 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
657 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
658 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

726 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
727 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1017 * dh_auto_install: Rather than looking at the number of binary packages
1018 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
1019 source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or
1020 debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any
1021 packages using the binary-indep and binary-arch targets.

1115 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1116 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that

1492 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1493 script and then remove the python files.
1494 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1495 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1496 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1497 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1498 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1499 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1500 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1501 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1502 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1503 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
1504 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250

1636 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1637 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2013 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility

3339 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3340 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3341 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3342 dh_install, which ...
3343 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3344 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3345 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3346 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3347 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3348 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3349 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3350 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3351 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3352 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3353 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3354 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3355 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3356 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3357 other minor changes.
3358 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3359 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3360 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3361 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3362 course there's -X ..)
3363 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3364 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3365 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3367 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3368 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3369 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3370 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

3415 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3416 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3417 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3418 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3419 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3446 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3448 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3449 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3450 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3451 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3452 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3453 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3454 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3455 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3456 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3457 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3458 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3459 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3460 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3461 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3462 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3463 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3465 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3482 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3483 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3484 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3485 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

3498 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3500 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3501 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3502 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3503 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3504 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3505 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3506 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3507 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3508 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
3509 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
3510 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.

3684 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

3686 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3687 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3688 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3689 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3690 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3691 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3692 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3693 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3694 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3696 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3716 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3717 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3718 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3719 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3720 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3721 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3722 program those options go to. So, for example,
3723 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3724 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3725 something complex. Closes: #89311

3759 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494

3866 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3867 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3868 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3869 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3870 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3871 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3872 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3926 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3928 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3929 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3930 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3931 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3932 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3933 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3934 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3935 but is mildly deprecated.
3936 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3937 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3938 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3939 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3940 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3941 switching to statoverrides..
3942 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3943 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3944 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3945 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3946 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3947 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3949 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3950 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3951 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3952 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3953 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3954 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3955 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3956 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3957 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3959 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3960 variable names, pod man pages).
3961 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3962 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3963 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3964 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3965 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3966 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3967 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3993 * Added a suggests to debconf-utils, Closes: #83643
3994 I may chenge this to a dependancy at some point in the future,
3995 since one debconf command needs the package to work.

4001 * dh_installdebconf: marge in templates with a .ll_LL extention,
4002 they were previously ignored.

4008 * Bah, reverted that last change. It isn't useful because
4009 dpkg-buildpackage reads the real control file and gets confused.

4013 debhelper (2.2.15) unstable; urgency=medium
4015 * Added the ability to make debhelper read a different file than
4016 debian/control as the control file. This is very useful for various and
4017 sundry things, all Evil, most involving kernel packages.

4034 debhelper (2.2.12) unstable; urgency=medium
4036 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4037 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4038 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4039 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4040 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4041 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4042 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4043 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4044 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
4045 it is an obsolete program.

4101 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
4102 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
4103 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
4104 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain
4105 files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just
4106 to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249

4112 * dh_makeshlibs: corrected the evil db3-regex so it doesn't misfire on
4113 data like "debian/libruby/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i486-linux/etc.so".

4118 debhelper (2.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
4120 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
4121 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
4122 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
4123 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
4124 backwards-compatibility.

4128 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
4130 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
4131 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4132 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4133 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4134 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4135 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4136 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4138 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4139 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4140 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4142 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4144 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4145 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4146 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4147 should now be raised to severity important..
4148 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4149 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4155 * Ok, fine, I'll make debhelper depend on lynx for the one or two
4156 packages that have html changelogs. But you'll be sorry...

4169 * Completed the fix from the last version.

4175 * Ok, I tihnk we have a db3 fix that will really work now.

4179 debhelper (2.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
4181 * I retract 2.1.23, the hack doesn't help make dpkg-shlibdeps work; db3

4186 debhelper (2.1.23) unstable; urgency=low
4188 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
4189 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
4190 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4191 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4192 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4196 debhelper (2.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
4198 * Fixed dh_perl to work with perl 5.6, Closes: #76508
4200 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 7 Nov 2000 15:56:54 -0800
4202 debhelper (2.1.21) unstable; urgency=low
4204 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
4205 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
4206 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
4207 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
4208 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
4209 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatibility.
4210 * dh_suidregister will be deprecated soon -- dpkg-statoverride is a

4215 debhelper (2.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
4217 * dh_suidregister: do not unregister on purge, since it will have already
4218 been unregistered then, and a warning will result.

4222 debhelper (2.1.19) unstable; urgency=low
4224 * dh_builddeb: Ok, it is cosmetic, but it annoyed me.

4228 debhelper (2.1.18) unstable; urgency=low

4236 debhelper (2.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
4238 * dh_movefiles.1: well I thought it was quite obvious why it always used
4239 debian/tmp, but it's a faq. Added some explanation. By the way, since
4240 there now exists a documented way to use dh_movefiles that does not
4241 have problems with empty directories that get left behind and so on, I
4242 think this Closes: #17111, #51985

4246 debhelper (2.1.16) unstable; urgency=low
4248 * dh_movefiles: fixed a regexp quoting problem with --sourcedir.
4250 * Whoops, I think I overwrote bod's NMU with 2.2.15. Let's merge those
4253 debhelper (2.1.14-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
4255 * Non-maintainer upload (thanks Joey).
4256 * dh_installchangelogs, dh_installdocs: allow dangling symlinks for
4257 $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE (useful for multi-binary packages).
4260 -- Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> Fri, 20 Oct 2000 18:11:59 +1100
4262 I also added some documentation to debhelper.1 about this, and removed
4263 the TODO entry about it.

4274 debhelper (2.1.14) unstable; urgency=low
4276 * Rats, the previous change makes duplicate lines be created in the
4277 shlibs file, and lintian conplains. Added some hackery that should
4278 prevent that. Closes: #73052

4282 debhelper (2.1.13) unstable; urgency=low
4284 * Typo, Closes: #72932
4285 * dh_makeshlibs: follow symlinks to files when looking for files that are
4286 shared libraries. This allows it to catch files like
4287 "liballeg-3.9.33.so" that are not in the *.so.* form it looks for, but
4288 that doe have links to them that are in the right form. Closes: #72938

4312 debhelper (2.1.9) unstable; urgency=low
4314 * dh_installmodules: corrected the code added to maintainer scripts so it
4315 does not call depmod -a. update-modules (which it always called)_
4316 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
4317 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular
4318 kernels, and should be rebuilt. Closes: #71841

4330 * debian/package.filename.arch is now checked for first, before
4331 debian/package.filename. Closes: #69453
4332 * Added a section to debhelper(1) about files in debian/ used by
4333 debhelper, which documents this. Removed scattered references to
4334 debian/filename from all over the man pages.

4347 silently neglecting to remove the fonts.dir/alias files.

4358 debhelper (2.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
4360 * dh_shlibdeps: if it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it now prints out a line
4361 showing it is doing that when in verbose mode.
4362 * examples/rules.multi: don't use DH_OPTIONS hack. It's too confusing.
4363 rules.multi2 still uses it, but it has comments explaining the caveats

4381 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
4383 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4384 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4385 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4386 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4387 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4388 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4389 notice until v2 is complete.
4390 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4391 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4392 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4393 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4394 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4395 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4397 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4398 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4399 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4400 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4434 "configure". I looked at the other possibilities, and I don't think any
4435 of the supported stuff should be called if the postist is called for
4436 error unwinds. Closes: #66673

4445 exists (wasn't because of a logic error). Closes: #66289

4447 is to fix an unlikely edge case involving a symlinked debian directory.

4519 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
4520 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4521 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4522 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4524 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4525 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4526 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4527 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4528 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4529 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

4611 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4612 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

4625 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4626 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4628 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4629 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4630 otherwise change the result at all.
4632 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4633 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4752 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4753 I made some changes, though:
4754 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4755 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4756 that is a clear violation of policy.
4757 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4758 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4759 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4760 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4761 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4762 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4763 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4764 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4765 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4767 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4811 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4812 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4813 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4935 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4936 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4937 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4938 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4939 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4940 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4941 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4942 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5011 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
5012 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
5013 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
5014 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
5015 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
5016 it's always available.

5023 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

5058 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
5059 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
5060 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

5280 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5281 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5893 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5894 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5895 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6000 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6001 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6002 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6003 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6004 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6005 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6007 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6008 remove debian/files properly.
6009 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
6010 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
6011 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
6012 * Removed bogus menu file.

6027 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
6028 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
6029 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
6030 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
6031 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

6060 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6061 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6072 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6073 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6074 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6075 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6076 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6077 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6078 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6079 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6080 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6263 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6264 past week. Thanks, guys!
6266 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6267 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6268 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6269 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6270 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6271 would do in the same situation.
6272 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6273 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6275 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6277 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6278 permissions changed.
6279 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6280 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6281 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6282 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6283 files are treated identically.

6297 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6298 use -X multiple times, too.

6605 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6609 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6610 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6611 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6612 a given package, or -i or -a.
6613 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6614 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6615 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6616 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6618 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6620 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6698 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6699 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6700 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
