115 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
116 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
117 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
119 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
120 changes may be added to that mode.
121 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761

123 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
124 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
125 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
126 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
127 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
128 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

235 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
236 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
237 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
238 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
239 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
240 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
241 (genesis) still uses them.
242 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
243 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328

245 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
246 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
247 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
248 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
249 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
250 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
251 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
252 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
253 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
254 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
255 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
256 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
257 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
258 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
259 commands. (See #570039)
260 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
262 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

306 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
307 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
309 * Typo. Closes: #571968
310 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
311 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
312 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
313 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
314 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only

522 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
523 flag with arch all/any packages.
524 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users

526 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
527 situation. Closes: #540794

682 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
683 contributed by Modestas Vainius
684 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
685 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
686 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
687 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
688 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
689 that support it. Closes: #480577
690 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
691 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
692 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
694 - Adds support for cmake.
695 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
696 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
698 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
700 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
701 that use them. The options are:
702 --sourcedir, --destdir
703 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
704 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
705 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
706 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
707 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

775 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
776 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1518 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1519 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1521 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1522 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1523 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1524 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1525 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1526 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1527 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1528 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1529 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1539 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1540 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1541 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1542 script and then remove the python files.
1543 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1544 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1545 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1546 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1547 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1548 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1549 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1550 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1551 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1552 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1673 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1674 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1675 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1676 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1677 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1678 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1679 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1680 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1681 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1682 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1684 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1685 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1686 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1687 the not too-distant future).

3388 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3389 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3390 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3391 dh_install, which ...
3392 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3393 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3394 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3395 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3396 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3397 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3398 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3399 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3400 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3401 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3402 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3403 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3404 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3405 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3406 other minor changes.
3407 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3408 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3409 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3410 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3411 course there's -X ..)
3412 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3413 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3414 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3416 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3417 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3418 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3419 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

3499 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3500 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3501 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3502 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3503 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3504 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3505 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3506 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3507 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3508 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3509 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3510 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3511 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3512 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3514 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3549 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3550 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3551 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3552 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3553 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3554 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3555 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3556 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3741 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3742 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3743 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3983 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3984 but is mildly deprecated.
3985 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3986 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3987 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3988 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3989 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3990 switching to statoverrides..
3991 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3992 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3993 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3994 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3995 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3996 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3998 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3999 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4000 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4001 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4002 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4003 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4004 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4005 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4006 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4008 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4009 variable names, pod man pages).
4010 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4011 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4012 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4013 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4014 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4015 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4016 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4086 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4087 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4088 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4089 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4090 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4091 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4092 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4093 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
4094 it is an obsolete program.

4180 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4181 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4182 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4183 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4184 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4185 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4187 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4188 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4189 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4191 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4193 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4194 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4195 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4196 should now be raised to severity important..
4197 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4198 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4239 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4240 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4432 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4433 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4434 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4435 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4436 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4437 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4438 notice until v2 is complete.
4439 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4440 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4441 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4442 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4443 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4444 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4446 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4575 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4576 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4577 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4660 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4661 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4662 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4663 bits until all files have been registered.

4674 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4675 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4678 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

4681 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4682 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4801 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4802 I made some changes, though:
4803 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4804 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4805 that is a clear violation of policy.
4806 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4807 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4808 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4809 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4810 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4811 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4812 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4813 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4814 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4816 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4997 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4998 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4999 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5001 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5002 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5003 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5004 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5005 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5006 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
5008 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
5009 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5944 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6017 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
6018 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
6019 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

6049 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6050 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6051 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6052 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6053 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6054 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6056 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6057 remove debian/files properly.
6058 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

6125 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6126 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6127 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6128 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6129 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6312 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6313 past week. Thanks, guys!
6315 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6316 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6317 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6318 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6319 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6320 would do in the same situation.
6321 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6322 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6324 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6326 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6327 permissions changed.
6328 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6329 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6330 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6331 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6332 files are treated identically.

6346 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6347 use -X multiple times, too.

6622 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6624 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6625 are supported. (#16935)

6644 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6653 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6654 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6659 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6660 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6661 a given package, or -i or -a.
6662 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6663 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6664 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6665 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6666 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6667 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6668 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6669 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6748 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
