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

85 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.

87 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
88 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
89 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
90 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
91 otherwise change the result at all.
93 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
94 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
95 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
96 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

113 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
114 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
116 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
117 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
118 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
119 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

156 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
157 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
158 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

212 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
213 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
214 I made some changes, though:
215 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
216 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
217 that is a clear violation of policy.
218 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
219 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
220 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
221 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
222 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
223 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
224 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
225 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
226 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
228 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

272 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
273 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
274 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
275 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

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

413 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
414 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
415 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that

417 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
418 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

1103 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
1104 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages

1112 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
1113 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
1114 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

1139 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
1140 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
1141 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
1142 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
1143 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
1144 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
1145 suidregister actually supports it.
1146 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
1147 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

1160 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
1161 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

1163 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
1164 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
1165 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
1166 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
1167 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

1335 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

1351 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
1352 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
1353 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
1354 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
1355 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
1356 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
1357 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

1724 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
1725 past week. Thanks, guys!
1727 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
1728 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
1729 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
1730 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
1731 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
1732 would do in the same situation.
1733 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
1734 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
1736 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
1738 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
1739 permissions changed.
1740 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
1741 some people enjoy changing root's name.
1742 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
1743 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
1744 files are treated identically.
1745 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

1758 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
1759 use -X multiple times, too.
1760 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

2055 version requirements in the shlibs file.
2056 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
2057 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the

2070 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
2071 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
2072 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
2073 a given package, or -i or -a.
2074 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
2075 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
2076 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
2077 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

2079 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

2081 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

2158 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
2159 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
2160 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
2161 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
2162 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

2338 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
2339 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

2390 the package build directory it is to act on.
