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

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

173 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
174 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
175 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
176 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
177 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
178 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
179 otherwise change the result at all.
181 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
182 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

202 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
204 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
205 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
206 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
207 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

246 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

301 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
302 I made some changes, though:
303 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
304 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
305 that is a clear violation of policy.
306 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
307 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
308 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
309 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
310 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
311 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
312 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
313 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
314 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
316 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

360 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
361 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
362 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

483 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
484 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
485 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
486 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
487 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
488 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
489 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
490 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
491 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

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

572 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

1556 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
1557 remove debian/files properly.
1558 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
1559 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
1560 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
1561 * Removed bogus menu file.

1578 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
1579 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should

1609 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
1610 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

1622 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
1623 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
1624 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
1625 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
1626 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
1627 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
1628 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
1629 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

1643 large chunks in the process.

1812 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
1813 past week. Thanks, guys!
1815 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
1816 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
1817 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
1818 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
1819 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
1820 would do in the same situation.
1821 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
1822 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
1824 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
1826 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
1827 permissions changed.
1828 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
1829 some people enjoy changing root's name.
1830 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
1831 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
1832 files are treated identically.
1833 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

1846 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
1847 use -X multiple times, too.
1848 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

2122 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

2124 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
2125 are supported. (#16935)

2143 version requirements in the shlibs file.
2144 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

2153 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
2154 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

2158 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
2159 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
2160 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
2161 a given package, or -i or -a.
2162 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
2163 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
2164 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
2165 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
2166 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
2167 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
2168 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
2169 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

2247 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
2248 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
2249 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
