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

1428 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1429 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1430 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1431 dh_install, which ...
1432 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1433 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1434 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1435 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1436 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1437 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1438 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1439 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1440 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1441 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1442 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1443 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1444 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1445 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1446 other minor changes.
1447 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1448 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1449 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1450 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1451 course there's -X ..)
1452 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1453 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1454 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1456 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1457 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1458 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1459 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1460 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1504 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1505 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1506 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1507 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1508 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1535 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1537 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1538 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1539 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1540 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1541 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1542 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1543 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1544 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1545 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1546 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1547 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1548 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1549 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends

1551 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi

1589 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1590 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1591 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1592 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1593 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1594 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1595 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1596 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1781 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1782 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1783 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1809 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1810 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1811 program those options go to. So, for example,
1812 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2018 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where

2035 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2036 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2038 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2039 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2040 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2041 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2042 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2043 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2044 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2045 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2046 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2048 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2049 variable names, pod man pages).
2050 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2051 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2052 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2053 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2054 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2055 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2056 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2128 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2129 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2222 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2224 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2225 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2227 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2228 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2229 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2231 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2234 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2235 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2236 should now be raised to severity important..

2472 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2473 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2474 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2475 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2476 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2477 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2478 notice until v2 is complete.
2479 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2480 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2481 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2482 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2483 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2484 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2486 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

2610 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2611 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2613 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2614 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2615 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2616 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2617 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2618 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

2698 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2699 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2700 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2701 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2702 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2703 bits until all files have been registered.

2714 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2715 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2717 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2718 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2719 otherwise change the result at all.
2721 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2722 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2744 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2745 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to

2841 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2842 I made some changes, though:
2843 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2844 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2845 that is a clear violation of policy.
2846 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2847 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2848 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2849 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2850 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2851 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2852 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2853 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2854 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2856 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2900 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

3024 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3025 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3026 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3027 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3028 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3029 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3030 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3102 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3103 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3104 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

3352 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3353 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3354 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3369 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3370 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3769 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

3773 suidregister actually supports it.

3982 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3983 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3984 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4089 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4090 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4091 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4092 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4093 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4094 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4096 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4097 remove debian/files properly.
4098 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4099 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4100 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4165 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).

4167 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4168 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4169 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4352 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4353 past week. Thanks, guys!
4355 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4356 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4357 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4358 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4359 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4360 would do in the same situation.
4361 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4362 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4364 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4366 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4367 permissions changed.
4368 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4369 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4370 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4371 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4372 files are treated identically.

4386 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4387 use -X multiple times, too.

4700 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4701 a given package, or -i or -a.
4702 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4703 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4704 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4705 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4706 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4707 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4709 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4787 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4788 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4789 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
