68 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
69 contributed by Modestas Vainius
70 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
71 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
72 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
73 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
74 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
75 that support it. Closes: #480577
76 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
77 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
78 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
80 - Adds support for cmake.
81 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
82 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
84 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
86 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
87 that use them. The options are:
88 --sourcedir, --destdir
89 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
90 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
91 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
92 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
93 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

158 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
159 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
160 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
161 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
162 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
163 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
164 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

1028 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
1029 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
1030 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
1031 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.

1033 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1034 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
1035 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
1036 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

1057 * Non-maintainer upload.
1058 * Update of dh_python
1059 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1060 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1061 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1062 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1063 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1064 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1065 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1066 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1067 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1068 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1070 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1071 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1072 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1073 the not too-distant future).
1074 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1075 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1076 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1077 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1078 thus made the build fail.

2774 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2775 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2776 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2777 dh_install, which ...
2778 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2779 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2780 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2781 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2782 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2783 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2784 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2785 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2786 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2787 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2788 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2789 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2790 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2791 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2792 other minor changes.
2793 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2794 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2795 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2796 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2797 course there's -X ..)
2798 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2799 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2800 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2802 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2803 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2804 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2805 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2806 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2850 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2851 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2852 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2853 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2854 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2881 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2883 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2884 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2885 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2886 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2887 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2888 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2889 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2890 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2891 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2892 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2893 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2894 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2895 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2896 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2897 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2898 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2900 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2918 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

2935 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2936 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2937 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2938 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2939 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2940 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2941 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2942 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2943 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3119 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3120 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3121 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3122 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3123 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3124 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3125 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3126 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3127 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3128 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3129 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3130 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3131 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3151 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3152 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3153 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3154 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3155 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3156 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3157 program those options go to. So, for example,
3158 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3159 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3160 something complex. Closes: #89311

3300 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3301 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3302 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3303 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3304 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3305 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3306 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3307 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3361 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3363 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3364 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3365 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3366 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3367 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3368 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3369 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3370 but is mildly deprecated.
3371 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3372 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3373 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3374 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3375 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3376 switching to statoverrides..
3377 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3378 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3379 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3380 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3381 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3382 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3384 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3385 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3386 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3387 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3388 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3389 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3390 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3391 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3392 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3394 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3395 variable names, pod man pages).
3396 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3397 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3398 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3399 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3400 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3401 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3402 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3565 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3566 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3567 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3568 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3569 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3570 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3571 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3573 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3574 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3575 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3577 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3579 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3580 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3581 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3582 should now be raised to severity important..
3583 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3584 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3626 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3643 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3818 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3819 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3820 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3821 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3822 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3823 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3824 notice until v2 is complete.
3825 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3826 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3827 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3828 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3829 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3830 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3832 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3833 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4043 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4044 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4045 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4046 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4047 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4048 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4049 bits until all files have been registered.

4055 * dh_installmanpages:
4056 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
4057 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
4058 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4059 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4060 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4061 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4062 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4063 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4064 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4065 otherwise change the result at all.
4067 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4068 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4069 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4087 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4088 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4090 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4091 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4092 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4093 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4187 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4188 I made some changes, though:
4189 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4190 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4191 that is a clear violation of policy.
4192 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4193 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4194 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4195 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4196 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4197 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4198 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4199 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4200 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4202 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4246 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4247 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4248 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4369 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4370 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4371 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4372 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4373 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4374 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4375 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4376 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4377 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4387 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4540 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
4541 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
4542 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

4550 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
4551 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4715 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4716 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4764 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5075 * autoscripts/*menu*: It turns out that "command" is like test -w, it will
5076 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
5077 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
5078 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages
5079 built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt.

5085 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5086 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
5087 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
5088 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.
5089 Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the

5111 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
5113 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5114 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5115 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5116 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
5117 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
5118 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
5119 suidregister actually supports it.
5120 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5121 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5132 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
5134 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
5135 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
5136 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
5137 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5138 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5139 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5140 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
5141 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5154 * dh_makeshlibs: relaxed regexp to find library name and number a little so
5155 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
5156 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

5169 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
5170 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
5171 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
5172 effect, either. (#30118)

5184 * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that
5185 dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can
5186 also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps.

5198 * examples/*: moved dh_makeshlibs call to before dh_installdeb call.
5199 (#29762). This is just so if you replace dh_makeshlibs with something
5200 that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly.

5295 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
5296 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
5297 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
5298 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
5299 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
5300 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

5306 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
5307 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5308 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5309 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5310 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5324 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5325 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5326 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5327 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5328 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5329 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5330 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5331 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5367 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5368 sections of shared libraries.
5369 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5370 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5371 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5372 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5373 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5374 things you don't want them to.

5403 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5404 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

5437 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5438 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5439 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5496 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5511 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5512 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5513 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem

5697 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5698 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5699 past week. Thanks, guys!
5701 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5702 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5703 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5704 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5705 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5706 would do in the same situation.
5707 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5708 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5710 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5712 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5713 permissions changed.
5714 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5715 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5716 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5717 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5718 files are treated identically.
5719 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5731 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5732 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5733 use -X multiple times, too.
5734 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5735 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6046 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6047 a given package, or -i or -a.

6049 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6134 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6135 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
