131 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
133 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
134 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
135 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
136 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
137 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
139 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
140 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
141 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
143 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
144 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
145 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
146 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
147 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
148 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
149 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
150 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
151 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
152 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
153 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
154 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.

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

285 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
286 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:

407 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
408 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
409 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
410 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
411 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
412 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
413 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
414 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
415 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
416 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
417 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
418 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
419 commands. (See #570039)

509 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
510 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
511 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
512 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
513 options that they do not support.
514 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
515 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
516 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

594 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
595 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
596 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
597 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
598 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
599 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
600 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
601 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
602 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
603 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
604 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
605 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
606 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
607 time soon.) Closes: #554509

617 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
618 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
620 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be

845 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
846 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597

848 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
849 that support it. Closes: #480577
850 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
851 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
852 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
854 - Adds support for cmake.
855 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
856 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
858 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
860 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
861 that use them. The options are:
862 --sourcedir, --destdir
863 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
864 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
865 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
866 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
867 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1139 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1141 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1142 that uses them. Affected options are:
1143 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1144 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1145 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

1148 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
1149 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
1150 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1151 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1152 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1153 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1154 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1266 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
1267 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded

1324 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1325 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1326 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting

1837 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1838 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1839 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1840 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1841 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1842 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1844 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1845 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1846 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3515 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for

3546 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3548 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3549 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3550 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3551 dh_install, which ...
3552 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3553 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3554 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3555 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3556 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3557 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3558 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3559 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3560 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3561 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3562 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3563 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3564 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3565 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3566 other minor changes.
3567 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3568 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3569 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3570 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3571 course there's -X ..)
3572 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3573 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3574 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3576 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3577 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3578 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3579 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3580 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3624 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3625 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3626 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3627 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3628 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3655 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3657 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3658 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3659 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3660 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3661 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3662 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3663 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3664 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3665 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3666 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3667 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3668 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3669 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3670 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3671 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3672 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3674 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3709 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3710 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3711 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3712 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3713 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3714 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3715 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3716 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3717 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

4077 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4078 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies

4137 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4138 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4139 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4140 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4141 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

4143 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4144 but is mildly deprecated.
4145 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4146 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4147 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4148 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4149 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4150 switching to statoverrides..
4151 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4152 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4153 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4154 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4155 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4156 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4158 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4159 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4160 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4161 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4162 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4163 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4164 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4165 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4166 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4168 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4169 variable names, pod man pages).
4170 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4171 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4172 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4173 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4174 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4175 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4176 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4342 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4348 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4349 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4592 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4593 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4594 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4595 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4596 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4597 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4598 notice until v2 is complete.
4599 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatible
4600 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4601 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4602 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4603 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4604 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4606 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4607 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4608 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4730 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4731 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4733 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4820 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4821 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4822 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

4962 I made some changes, though:
4963 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4964 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4965 that is a clear violation of policy.
4966 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4967 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4968 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4969 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4970 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.

5141 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5142 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5143 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5144 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5145 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5146 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5147 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5148 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5149 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5150 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5151 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

6081 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6082 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6083 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6084 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6098 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6099 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6100 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6101 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6102 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6103 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6104 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6105 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6141 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6142 sections of shared libraries.
6143 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6144 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6145 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6146 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6147 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6148 things you don't want them to.

6287 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6288 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6289 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6475 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6476 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6477 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6478 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6479 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6480 would do in the same situation.
6481 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6482 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6484 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6486 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6487 permissions changed.
6488 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6489 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6490 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6491 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6492 files are treated identically.
6493 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6494 * Minor man page fixes.
6495 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
6496 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
6497 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6503 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
6504 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
6505 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6506 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6507 use -X multiple times, too.
6508 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6509 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6534 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6535 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6821 a given package, or -i or -a.

6823 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6985 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
6986 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6987 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6988 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6989 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6990 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

7041 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
7042 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
7043 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
7044 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
7045 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

7049 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
7051 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
7052 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
7053 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
7054 multiple binary packages.
7055 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
7056 should rebuild them with this version.
7057 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

7075 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7077 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7078 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7079 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7080 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7081 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7082 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7083 debian/README.debian.
7084 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7085 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7086 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7087 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7088 in a few situations.)

7119 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7121 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7122 is ready for general use.
7123 * Added man pages for all commands.
7124 * Multiple binary package support.
7125 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7126 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7127 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7129 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7130 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7131 auto-installed as parameters.
7132 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7134 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7137 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7138 the package build directory it is to act on.
7139 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7140 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7141 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
