1064 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
1065 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
1066 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
1067 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

1095 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1096 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1097 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1098 dh_install, which ...
1099 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1100 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1101 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1102 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1103 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1104 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1105 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1106 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1107 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1108 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1109 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1110 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1111 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1112 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1113 other minor changes.
1114 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1115 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1116 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1117 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1118 course there's -X ..)
1119 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1120 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1121 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1123 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1124 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1125 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1126 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1127 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1174 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1175 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1202 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1204 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1205 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1206 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1207 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1208 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1209 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1210 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1211 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1212 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1213 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1214 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1215 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1216 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1217 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1218 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1219 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1221 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1256 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1257 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1258 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1259 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1260 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1261 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1262 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1263 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1624 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1625 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies

1682 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1684 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1685 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1686 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1687 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1688 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1690 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1691 but is mildly deprecated.
1692 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1693 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1694 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1695 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1696 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1697 switching to statoverrides..
1698 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1699 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1700 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1701 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1702 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1703 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1705 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1706 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1707 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1708 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1709 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1710 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1711 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1712 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1713 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1715 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1716 variable names, pod man pages).
1717 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1718 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1719 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1720 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1721 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1722 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1723 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2139 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2140 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2141 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2142 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2143 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2144 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2145 notice until v2 is complete.
2146 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2147 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2148 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2149 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2150 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2151 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2153 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2154 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2155 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2278 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2280 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2367 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2368 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2369 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

2509 I made some changes, though:
2510 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2511 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2512 that is a clear violation of policy.
2513 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2514 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2515 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2516 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2517 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2518 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2519 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2520 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2521 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2523 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2565 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2566 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2567 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2568 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2569 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2687 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2688 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2689 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2690 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2691 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2692 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2693 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2694 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2695 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2696 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2697 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2698 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2711 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2712 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2713 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3602 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.

3614 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3616 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
3617 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3618 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3619 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
3620 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
3621 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

3625 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
3627 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3628 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3629 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3630 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3631 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3644 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3645 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3646 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3647 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3648 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3649 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3650 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3651 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3652 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3664 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
3665 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
3666 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

3686 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
3688 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3689 sections of shared libraries.
3690 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3691 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3692 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3693 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3694 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3695 things you don't want them to.
3696 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3697 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3724 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3725 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
3726 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

3756 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3757 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3758 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3759 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3760 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3761 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3763 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3764 remove debian/files properly.
3765 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
3766 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
3767 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
3768 * Removed bogus menu file.

3784 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
3785 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

3817 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

3828 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
3829 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
3830 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
3831 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3832 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3833 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3834 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3835 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3836 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
3837 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
3838 passed any switches.

3850 large chunks in the process.
3851 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
3852 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4019 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4020 past week. Thanks, guys!
4022 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4023 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4024 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4025 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4026 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4027 would do in the same situation.
4028 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4029 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4031 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4033 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4034 permissions changed.
4035 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4036 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4037 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4038 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4039 files are treated identically.

4051 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4052 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4053 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4054 use -X multiple times, too.
4055 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4056 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4367 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4368 a given package, or -i or -a.
4369 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4370 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4537 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4588 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4589 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4590 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4591 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4592 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4596 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4598 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4599 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4600 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4601 multiple binary packages.
4602 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4603 should rebuild them with this version.
4604 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4622 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4624 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4625 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4626 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4627 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4628 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4629 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4630 debian/README.debian.
4631 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4632 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4633 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4634 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4635 in a few situations.)

4666 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4668 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4669 is ready for general use.
4670 * Added man pages for all commands.
4671 * Multiple binary package support.
4672 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4673 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4674 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4676 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4677 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4678 auto-installed as parameters.
4679 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4681 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4684 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4685 the package build directory it is to act on.
4686 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4687 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4688 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
