24 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
25 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
26 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
27 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
28 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
29 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

179 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
180 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
181 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
182 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
183 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1505 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1506 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1507 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1508 dh_install, which ...
1509 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1510 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1511 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1512 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1513 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1514 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1515 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1516 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1517 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1518 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1519 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1520 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1521 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1522 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1523 other minor changes.
1524 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1525 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1526 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1527 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1528 course there's -X ..)
1529 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1530 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1533 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1534 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1535 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1536 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1537 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1581 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1582 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1583 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1584 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1585 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
1587 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

1612 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1614 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1615 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1616 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1617 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1618 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1619 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1620 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1621 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1622 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1623 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1624 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1625 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1626 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1627 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1628 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1629 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1631 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1664 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1666 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1667 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1668 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1669 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1670 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1671 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1672 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1673 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1674 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1852 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1853 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1854 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1855 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1856 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1857 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1858 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1859 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1860 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1886 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1887 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1888 program those options go to. So, for example,
1889 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1890 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2092 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2094 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2095 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2096 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2097 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2098 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2099 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2100 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2101 but is mildly deprecated.
2102 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2103 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2104 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2105 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2106 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2107 switching to statoverrides..
2108 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2109 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2110 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2111 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2112 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2113 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2115 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2116 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2117 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2118 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2119 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2120 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2121 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2122 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2123 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2125 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2126 variable names, pod man pages).
2127 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2128 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2129 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2130 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2131 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2132 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2133 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2205 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2206 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2208 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2299 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2300 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2301 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2302 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2304 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2305 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2306 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2308 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2310 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2311 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2312 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2313 should now be raised to severity important..

2356 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2357 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2549 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2550 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2551 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2552 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2553 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2554 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2555 notice until v2 is complete.
2556 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2557 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2558 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2559 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2560 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2561 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2563 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2564 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2565 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2566 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2686 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
2687 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2688 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2690 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2691 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2692 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2693 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2694 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2695 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

2774 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2775 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2776 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2777 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2778 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2779 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2780 bits until all files have been registered.

2789 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2790 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2791 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2792 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2793 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2794 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2795 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2796 otherwise change the result at all.
2798 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2799 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2800 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2801 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

2818 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2819 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2821 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2822 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2823 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

2918 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2919 I made some changes, though:
2920 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2921 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2922 that is a clear violation of policy.
2923 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2924 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2925 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2926 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2927 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2928 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2929 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2930 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2931 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2933 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3097 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3098 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3099 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3100 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3101 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3102 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3103 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3104 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3105 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3106 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3107 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3108 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3116 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3118 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3119 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3120 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3121 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3122 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3123 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4060 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4061 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4062 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4433 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4434 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4435 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4436 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4437 would do in the same situation.

4448 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two

4776 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4777 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4778 a given package, or -i or -a.
4779 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4780 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4781 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4782 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4783 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4784 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4786 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4865 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',

5043 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5044 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5045 in a few situations.)

5076 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5078 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5079 is ready for general use.
5080 * Added man pages for all commands.
5081 * Multiple binary package support.
5082 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5083 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5084 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5086 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5087 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5088 auto-installed as parameters.
5089 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5091 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5094 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5095 the package build directory it is to act on.
5096 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5097 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5098 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
