1 debhelper (7.4.4) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems) now supports
4 parallel building by default, as specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
6 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
7 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
8 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
9 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
10 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
11 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
12 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
13 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
14 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
15 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
16 time soon.) Closes: #554509
17 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
19 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatability level 4.
20 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899

49 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
50 (It was only run once due to logging.)
51 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
52 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
53 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
54 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
55 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
56 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
57 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293

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

239 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
240 contributed by Modestas Vainius
241 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
242 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
243 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
244 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
245 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
246 that support it. Closes: #480577
247 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
248 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
249 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
251 - Adds support for cmake.
252 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
253 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
255 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
257 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
258 that use them. The options are:
259 --sourcedir, --destdir
260 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
261 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
262 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
263 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
264 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

330 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
331 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
332 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
333 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

535 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
536 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
538 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
539 that uses them. Affected options are:
540 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
541 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
542 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

546 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
547 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
548 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
549 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
550 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
551 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1076 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1078 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1079 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

1099 script and then remove the python files.
1100 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1101 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1102 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1103 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1104 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1232 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1233 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1234 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1235 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1236 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1237 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1238 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1239 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1241 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1242 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1243 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2945 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2946 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2947 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2948 dh_install, which ...
2949 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2950 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2951 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2952 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2953 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2954 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2955 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2956 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2957 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2958 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2959 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2960 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2961 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2962 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2963 other minor changes.
2964 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2965 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2966 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2967 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2968 course there's -X ..)
2969 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2970 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2971 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2973 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2974 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2975 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2976 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2977 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

3021 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3022 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3023 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3024 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3052 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3054 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3055 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3056 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3057 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3058 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3059 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3060 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3061 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3062 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3063 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3064 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3065 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3066 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3067 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3068 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3069 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3071 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3106 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3107 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3108 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3109 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3110 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3111 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3112 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3113 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3114 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3295 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented

3298 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3299 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

3326 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3327 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3328 program those options go to. So, for example,
3329 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3517 don't make packlist files.
3518 * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current
3519 debhelper coding standards.
3520 * Use dh_perl to generate debhelper's own deps.
3521 * Version number increase to meet perl policy.

3532 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3534 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3535 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3536 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3537 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3538 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3539 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3540 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3541 but is mildly deprecated.
3542 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3543 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3544 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3545 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3546 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3547 switching to statoverrides..
3548 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3549 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3550 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3551 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3552 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3553 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3555 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3556 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3557 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3558 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3559 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3560 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3561 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3562 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3563 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3565 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3566 variable names, pod man pages).
3567 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3568 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3569 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3570 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3571 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3572 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3573 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3645 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3646 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3739 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3741 old rules files have the ordering backwards.

3744 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3745 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3746 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3748 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

3751 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3752 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3990 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3991 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3992 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.

3997 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3998 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses

4133 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4217 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4218 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4219 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4220 bits until all files have been registered.

4230 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4231 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4232 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4233 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4234 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4235 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4236 otherwise change the result at all.
4238 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4239 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4358 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4359 I made some changes, though:
4360 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4361 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4362 that is a clear violation of policy.
4363 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4364 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4365 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4366 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4367 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4368 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4369 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4370 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4371 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4373 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4536 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
4537 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4538 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4539 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4540 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4541 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4542 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4543 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4544 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4545 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4546 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4547 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4548 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4554 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4555 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4556 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4558 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4559 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4560 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4561 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4562 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4563 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4565 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4566 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5499 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

5501 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5538 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5539 sections of shared libraries.
5540 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5541 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5542 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5543 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5544 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5545 things you don't want them to.
5546 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5547 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5574 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5575 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5576 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

5606 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5607 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5608 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5609 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5610 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5611 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5613 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5614 remove debian/files properly.
5615 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5616 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5617 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

5634 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5635 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

5666 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5667 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5678 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5679 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5680 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5681 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5682 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5683 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5684 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5685 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5686 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5688 passed any switches.

5869 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5870 past week. Thanks, guys!
5872 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5873 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5874 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5875 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5876 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5877 would do in the same situation.
5878 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5879 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5881 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5883 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5884 permissions changed.
5885 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5886 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5887 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5888 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5889 files are treated identically.
5890 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5904 use -X multiple times, too.

6032 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
6033 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
6034 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
6035 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
6036 no packages use the old behavior.

6040 debhelper (0.70) unstable; urgency=low
6042 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
6043 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was
6044 gaining us anything, so let's remove it and save some disk space.

6070 * README, dh_testversion.1, dh_movefiles.1: more doc fixes.
6071 * dh_movefiles: don't check for package names to see if files are being
6072 moved from one package back into itself, instead, check tmp dir names.
6073 If you use this behavior, you should use "dh_testversion 0.66".

6094 debian-policy that du control files are bad.
6095 * examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
6096 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.

6108 inspired to implement some of it.

6130 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without

6151 to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

6157 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077

6163 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
6165 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
6166 argument processor in perl.
6167 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
6168 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
6169 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")

6176 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
6177 type directories. (#16933)
6178 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
6179 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6180 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6181 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6182 are supported. (#16935)
6183 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

6188 debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low

6191 This has been broken since version 0.30.

6195 debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
6197 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
6199 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
6200 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6201 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6202 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6203 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
6204 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

6208 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6210 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6211 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6212 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6214 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6215 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6216 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6217 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6218 a given package, or -i or -a.
6219 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6220 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6221 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6222 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6223 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6224 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6225 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6226 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6227 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6229 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6230 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
6231 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

6251 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
6253 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6254 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6255 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
6256 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

6266 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
6268 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6269 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6270 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6271 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6272 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6278 debhelper (0.32) unstable; urgency=low
6280 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
6281 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
6282 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
6283 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

6300 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
6302 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6303 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6304 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6305 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6306 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6307 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6308 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6328 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
6329 the dh_* programs (#15497).

6383 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6384 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6385 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6386 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6387 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6476 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6477 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6478 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6479 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6480 debian/README.debian.
6481 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6482 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6483 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6484 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6485 in a few situations.)

6520 * Added man pages for all commands.
6521 * Multiple binary package support.
6522 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6523 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6524 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6526 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6527 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6528 auto-installed as parameters.
6529 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6531 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6534 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6535 the package build directory it is to act on.
6536 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6537 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6538 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
