1 debhelper (7.4.11) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * dh(1): Minor rewording of documentation of override commands.
6 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:23:25 -0500
8 debhelper (7.4.10) unstable; urgency=low
10 * Add --parallel option that can be used to enable parallel building
11 without limiting the max number of parallel jobs. (Modestas Vainius)
12 * dh_makeshlibs: Temporarily revert fix for #557603, as it caused
13 dpkg-gensymbols to see libraries not in the regular search path and
14 broke builds. This will be re-enabled in v8. Closes: #560217

18 debhelper (7.4.9) unstable; urgency=low
20 * Typo. Closes: #558654
21 * dh_installinit: Fix installation of defaults file when an upstart job is
22 installed. Closes: #558782

26 debhelper (7.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
28 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
29 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
30 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)
31 * dh: Document --no-act. Closes: #557505
32 * dh_makeshlibs: Make -X also exclude libraries from the symbols file.

37 debhelper (7.4.7) unstable; urgency=low
39 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
40 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop
41 after it sees one line of output from make. (This may be better replaced
42 with dh's makefile parser in the future.) Closes: #557307

49 * Remove last vestiages of support for /usr/X11R6.
50 * cmake: Fix deep recursion in test. Closes: #557299

60 debhelper (7.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
62 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
63 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
64 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
65 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
66 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
67 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
68 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
69 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
70 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
71 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
72 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
73 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
74 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
75 time soon.) Closes: #554509
76 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
78 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
79 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
80 * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
81 document id. Closes: #555677
82 * Typo. Closes: #555659
83 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
84 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
85 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
86 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
88 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
89 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
90 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

95 debhelper (7.4.3) unstable; urgency=low
98 * update french translation. Closes: #494300, #477703
99 * add --previous at po4a command into Makefile
100 * add dh, dh_auto_install, dh_auto_clean, dh_auto_configure,
101 dh_auto_install, dh_auto_test, dh_bugfiles, dh_icons, dh_installifupdown,
102 dh_installudev, dh_lintian, dh_prep into po4a.cfg manpages list
103 * fix a spelling mistake in dh_makeshlibs man french
104 translation (#494300 part 2)
107 * dh_perl: Do not look at perl scripts under /usr/share/doc.
109 * Allow dpkg-architecture to print errors to stderr. Closes: #548636
110 * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force
111 to setup.py install to ensure that timestamps do not prevent installation
112 of the scripts built for the default python, with unversioned shebang
113 lines. Closes: #547510 (Thanks, Andrew Straw)

117 debhelper (7.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
119 * Man page typo. Closes: #545443
120 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
121 (It was only run once due to logging.)
122 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
123 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
124 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
125 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
126 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
127 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
128 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
129 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
130 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev
131 is installed for the first package. Closes: #546337

138 * dh_installinit: Support upstart job files, and provide compatibility
139 symlinks in /etc/init.d for sysv-rc implementations. Closes: #536035.
142 * Add FILES sections to man pages. Closes: #545041
143 * dh_prep(1): Clarify when it should be called. Closes: #544969

147 debhelper (7.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
149 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
150 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
151 flag with arch all/any packages.
152 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
153 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
154 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
155 situation. Closes: #540794

159 debhelper (7.3.16) unstable; urgency=low
161 * dh_desktop: Clarify in man page why it's a no-op.
163 * dh_installdocs: Loosen the Document field parsing, to accept
164 everything doc-base *really* accepts in a doc id (not just what
165 it's documented to accept). Closes: #543499
166 * Allow sequence addons to pass options to debhelper commands,
167 by adding add_command_options and remove_command_options to the interface.
170 * dh_auto_install: Add a --destdir parameter that can be used to override
171 the default. Closes: #538201

176 debhelper (7.3.15) unstable; urgency=low
178 * dh_installudev: Install rules files into new location
180 * dh_installudev: Add code to delete old conffiles unless
181 they're modified, and in that case, rename them to override
182 the corresponding file in /lib/udev. (Based on patch by
183 Martin Pitt.) (Note that this file will not be deleted on purge --
184 I can't see a good way to determine when it's appropriate to do
186 * dh_installudev: Set default priority to 60; dropping the "z".
187 If --priority=zNN is passed, treat that as priority NN.
188 * Above Closes: #491117
189 * dh_installudev: Drop code handling move of /etc/udev/foo into

194 debhelper (7.3.14) unstable; urgency=low
197 * dh: Add --list option to list available addons. Closes: #541302
200 * Run pod2man with --utf8. Closes: #541270

209 * python_distutils.pm: Support debhelper backports.
210 To allow backports of debhelper we don't pass
211 --install-layout=deb to 'setup.py install` for those Python
212 versions where the option is ignored by distutils/setuptools.

310 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
311 contributed by Modestas Vainius
312 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
313 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
314 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
315 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
316 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
317 that support it. Closes: #480577
318 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
319 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
320 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
322 - Adds support for cmake.
323 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
324 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
326 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
328 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
329 that use them. The options are:
330 --sourcedir, --destdir
331 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
332 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
333 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
334 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
335 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

353 debhelper (7.2.22) unstable; urgency=low
355 * dh_install: Fix support for the case where --sourcedir=debian/tmp/foo

377 * dh_install: Handle correctly the case where a glob expands to
378 a dangling symlink, installing the dangling link as requested.
380 * dh_install: Fix fallback use of debian/tmp in v7 mode; a bug caused

397 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
398 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
399 warning or deprecation message.
400 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
401 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
402 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
403 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
404 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
405 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
406 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

609 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
610 that uses them. Affected options are:
611 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
612 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
613 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

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

1172 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1173 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1174 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1175 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1302 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1303 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1304 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1305 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1306 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1307 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1308 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1309 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1310 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1312 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1313 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1314 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1315 the not too-distant future).
1316 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1317 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1536 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
1537 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
1538 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
1539 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

3024 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3025 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3026 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3027 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3028 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3029 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3030 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3031 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3032 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3033 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3034 other minor changes.
3035 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3036 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3037 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3038 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3039 course there's -X ..)
3040 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3041 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3042 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3044 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3045 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3046 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3047 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3048 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3092 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3093 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3094 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3095 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3096 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3123 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3125 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3126 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3127 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3128 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3129 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3130 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3131 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3132 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3133 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3134 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3135 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3136 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3137 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3138 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3139 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3140 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3142 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3177 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3178 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3179 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3180 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3181 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3182 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3183 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3184 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3369 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3370 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

3398 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3399 program those options go to. So, for example,
3400 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3543 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3544 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3545 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3546 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3547 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3548 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3603 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3605 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3606 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3607 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3608 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3609 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3610 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3611 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3612 but is mildly deprecated.
3613 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3614 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3615 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3616 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3617 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3618 switching to statoverrides..
3619 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3620 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3621 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3622 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3623 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3624 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3626 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3627 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3628 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3629 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3630 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3631 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3632 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3633 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3634 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3636 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3637 variable names, pod man pages).
3638 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3639 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3640 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3641 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3642 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3643 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3644 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3810 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3812 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3813 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3815 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3816 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3817 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3822 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3823 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4060 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4061 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4062 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4063 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4064 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4065 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4066 notice until v2 is complete.
4067 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4068 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4069 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4070 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4071 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4072 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4074 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4075 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4076 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4288 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4289 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4290 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4291 bits until all files have been registered.

4430 I made some changes, though:
4431 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4432 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4433 that is a clear violation of policy.
4434 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4435 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4436 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4437 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4438 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4439 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4440 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4441 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4442 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4444 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4608 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4609 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4610 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4611 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4612 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4613 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4614 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4615 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4616 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4617 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4618 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4619 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4627 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4629 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4630 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4631 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4632 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4633 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4634 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5538 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
5539 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
5540 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
5541 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

5549 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5550 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5551 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5552 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5566 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5567 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5568 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5569 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5570 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5571 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5572 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5573 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5612 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5613 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5614 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5615 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5616 things you don't want them to.

5679 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5680 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5681 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5945 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are

5947 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5948 would do in the same situation.

5999 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
6000 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
6001 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
6002 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6003 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6005 shape if you're starting a new package.

6288 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6289 a given package, or -i or -a.
6290 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6291 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6292 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6293 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6294 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6295 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6297 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6509 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6510 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6511 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6512 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6513 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6517 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6519 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6520 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6521 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6522 multiple binary packages.
6523 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6524 should rebuild them with this version.
6525 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6529 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
6531 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
6532 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

6536 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

6543 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6545 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6546 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6547 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6548 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6549 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6550 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6551 debian/README.debian.
6552 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6553 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6554 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6555 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6556 in a few situations.)

6560 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
6562 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

6566 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

6572 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
6574 * Added dh_strip to strip binaries and libraries.

6579 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
6581 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
6582 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
6583 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

6587 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6589 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6590 is ready for general use.
6591 * Added man pages for all commands.
6592 * Multiple binary package support.
6593 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6594 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6595 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6597 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6598 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6599 auto-installed as parameters.
6600 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6602 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6605 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6606 the package build directory it is to act on.
6607 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6608 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6609 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
