102 * Update of dh_python
103 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
104 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
105 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
106 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
107 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
108 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
109 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
110 specific python version. Closes: #373853
111 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
112 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
114 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
115 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
116 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
117 the not too-distant future).
118 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
119 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

121 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

1818 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1819 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1820 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1821 dh_install, which ...
1822 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1823 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1824 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1825 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1826 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1827 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1828 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1829 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1830 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1831 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1832 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1833 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1834 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1835 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1836 other minor changes.
1837 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1838 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1839 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1840 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1841 course there's -X ..)
1842 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1843 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1844 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1846 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1847 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1848 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1849 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1850 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1925 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1927 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1928 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1929 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1930 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1931 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1932 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1933 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1934 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1935 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1936 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1937 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1938 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1939 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1940 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1941 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1942 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1944 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1962 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1963 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!

1979 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1980 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1981 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1982 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1983 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1984 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1985 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1986 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1987 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2161 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2163 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2164 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2165 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2166 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2167 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2168 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2169 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2170 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2171 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2172 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2173 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2174 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2175 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2193 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2195 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2196 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2197 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2198 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2199 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2200 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2201 program those options go to. So, for example,
2202 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2203 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2204 something complex. Closes: #89311

2342 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2344 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2345 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2346 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2347 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2348 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2349 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2350 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2351 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2352 Closes: #88464, #77743

2405 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2407 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2408 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2409 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2410 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2411 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2412 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2413 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2414 but is mildly deprecated.
2415 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2416 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2417 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2418 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2419 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2420 switching to statoverrides..
2421 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2422 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2423 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2424 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2425 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2426 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2428 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2429 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2430 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2431 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2432 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2433 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2434 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2435 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2436 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2438 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2439 variable names, pod man pages).
2440 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2441 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2442 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2443 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2444 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2445 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2446 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2609 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2610 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2611 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2612 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2613 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2614 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2615 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2617 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2618 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2619 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2621 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2623 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2624 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2625 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2626 should now be raised to severity important..
2627 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2628 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2669 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2670 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2684 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

2686 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2687 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2688 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2860 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2862 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2863 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2864 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2865 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2866 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2867 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2868 notice until v2 is complete.
2869 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2870 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2871 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2872 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2873 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2874 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2876 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2877 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2878 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3000 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3001 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3003 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3004 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3005 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3006 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

3087 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3088 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3089 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3090 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3091 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3092 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3093 bits until all files have been registered.

3099 * dh_installmanpages:
3100 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3101 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3102 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3103 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3104 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3105 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3106 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3107 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3108 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3109 otherwise change the result at all.
3111 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3112 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3113 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3114 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3131 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3132 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3134 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3135 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3136 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3137 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3230 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3231 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3232 I made some changes, though:
3233 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3234 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3235 that is a clear violation of policy.
3236 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3237 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3238 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3239 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3240 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3241 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3242 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3243 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3244 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3246 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3288 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3289 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3290 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3291 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3292 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3410 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3411 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3412 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3413 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3414 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3415 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3416 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3417 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3418 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3419 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3420 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3421 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3431 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3432 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3433 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3434 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3435 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3436 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3554 * Moved /usr/lib/debhelper to /usr/share/debhelper for FHS compliance
3555 (#41174). If you used Dh_lib or something in another package, be sure to
3556 update your "use" line and declare an appropriate dependancy. (Closes:

3584 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3585 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3586 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3594 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3595 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3596 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3597 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3649 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3650 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3664 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3665 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3666 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3667 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3668 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3669 current compatability level is equal to that number.

3742 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3743 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3744 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3758 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3759 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3760 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3762 x bit was being set!

3806 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3807 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3808 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
3809 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
3810 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

3913 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
3914 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3916 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

4372 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4373 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4374 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4552 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4553 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4554 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4555 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4556 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4557 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4558 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4559 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4560 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4561 passed any switches.
4562 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4742 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4743 past week. Thanks, guys!
4745 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4746 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4747 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4748 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4749 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4750 would do in the same situation.
4751 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4752 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4754 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4756 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4757 permissions changed.
4758 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4759 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4760 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4761 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4762 files are treated identically.
4763 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4776 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4777 use -X multiple times, too.

5054 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5055 are supported. (#16935)

5090 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5091 a given package, or -i or -a.
5092 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5093 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5095 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5178 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
