11 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
13 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
14 be using this script RSN.

18 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
20 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
21 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
22 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
23 more than 1 init script.

27 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
29 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
30 failing if it was given absolute filenames.

34 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
36 * Changed perl version detection.
37 * Changed call to find.

41 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
43 * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. dh_perl handles
44 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying

59 * dh_installpam: new program by Sean <shaleh@foo.livenet.net>
60 * Wrote man page for same.

64 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
66 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
67 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
68 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

73 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
75 * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.

80 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
82 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
83 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
84 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
85 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the

90 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
92 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
93 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh

98 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
100 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
101 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
102 work on the man page (closes: #38898).

121 * Don't include Test.pm in the binary package.

125 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
127 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
128 help from Julian Gilbey.
129 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
130 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
131 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
132 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
133 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
134 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
135 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root

165 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low
167 * dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above. It
168 actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now.

172 debhelper (1.2.62) unstable; urgency=low
174 * dh_installemacsen: added support for site-start files. Added --flavor
175 and --number to control details of installation. (#36832)

179 debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low
181 * dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has
182 somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45.

188 * dh_installexamples.1: recycled docs fix.

192 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low
194 * dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where
195 to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course.
197 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> Thu, 22 Apr 1999 22:02:01 -0700
199 debhelper (1.2.58) unstable; urgency=low
201 * autoscripts/postinst-suid: use /#FILE# in elif test (#36297).

205 debhelper (1.2.57) unstable; urgency=low
207 * examples/*: killed trailing spaces after diff: target

211 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low
213 * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually
214 exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and
215 may be deleted. (#35845)

219 debhelper (1.2.55) unstable; urgency=low
221 * Various man page enhancements.

227 debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low
229 * dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160).
230 * *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when
231 debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page.
233 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> Thu, 8 Apr 1999 20:28:00 -0700
235 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
237 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
238 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
239 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
240 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and
242 * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new
243 suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress

248 debhelper (1.2.52) unstable; urgency=low
250 * dh_installmodules: new program, closes #32546.

254 debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low
256 * Another very minor typo fix.

260 debhelper (1.2.50) unstable; urgency=low
262 * Very minor typo fix.

266 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low
268 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of
269 even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and
270 modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102)

274 debhelper (1.2.48) unstable; urgency=low
276 * dh_fixperms.1: improved documentation. (#34968)

280 debhelper (1.2.47) unstable; urgency=low
282 * doc/README: updated the example of including debhelper shell script
283 fragments inside a perl program -- the old method didn't work with shell
284 variables properly (#34850).

294 debhelper (1.2.45) unstable; urgency=low
296 * dh_installwm.1: fixed two errors (#34534, #34535)
297 * debhelper.1: list all other debhelper commands with synopses
298 (automatically generated by build process).
300 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> Sun, 14 Mar 1999 11:33:39 -0800
302 debhelper (1.2.44) unstable; urgency=medium
304 * dh_fixperms: has been mostly broken when used with -X, corrected this.
306 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> Sat, 13 Mar 1999 17:25:59 -0800
308 debhelper (1.2.43) unstable; urgency=low
310 * dh_compress.1: man page fixes (Closes: #33858).
311 * dh_compress: now it can handle compressing arbitrary numbers of files,
312 spawning gzip multiple times like xargs does, if necessary.
314 * Dh_Lib.pm: added xargs() command.
316 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> Tue, 9 Mar 1999 14:57:09 -0800
318 debhelper (1.2.42) unstable; urgency=low
320 * dh_m5sums: don't generate bogus md5sums file if the package contains no
321 files. Yes, someone found a legitimate reason to do that.

331 debhelper (1.2.40) unstable; urgency=low

334 leave it at that. :-)

350 debhelper (1.2.37) unstable; urgency=low
352 * dh_installdocs: Patch from Jim Pick <jim@jimpick.com>, fixes regexp error (Closes: #33431).
353 * dh_installxaw: new program by Daniel Martin
354 <Daniel.Martin@jhu.edu>, handles xaw-wrappers integration.
355 * dh_installxaw.1: wrote man page.

359 debhelper (1.2.36) unstable; urgency=low
361 * dh_compress.1: Fixed typo in man page. (Closes: #33364)
362 * autoscripts/postinst-menu-method: fixed typo. (Closes: #33376)

368 * Dh_Lib.pm filearray(): Deal with multiple spaces and spaces at the
369 beginning of lines in files. (closes: #33161)

373 debhelper (1.2.34) unstable; urgency=low
375 * dh_clean: added -d flag (also --dirs-only) that will make it clean only
376 tmp dirs. (closes: #30807)
377 * dh_installdocs: to support packages that need multiple doc-base files,
378 will now look for debian/<package>.doc-base.<doc-id>.
379 * dh_compress: removed warning message (harmless).
381 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> Sat, 6 Feb 1999 17:48:33 -0800
383 debhelper (1.2.33) unstable; urgency=low
385 * dh_compress: verbose_print() cd's.
386 * dh_compress: clear the hash of hard links when we loop - was making
387 dh_compress fail on multi-binary packages that had harlinks. Thanks to
388 Craig Small for spotting this.

392 debhelper (1.2.32) unstable; urgency=low
394 * dh_suidmanager: if it cannot determine the user name or group name from
395 the uid or gid, it will pass the uid or gid to suidmanager. This should
396 probably never happen, but it's good to be safe.

409 from 3 to 1, no change in functionality.

413 debhelper (1.2.29) unstable; urgency=high
415 * Do not include bogus chsh, chfn, passwd links in debhelper binary!

441 debhelper (1.2.25) unstable; urgency=low
443 * autoscripts/*menu*: It turns out that "command" is like test -w, it will
444 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
445 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
446 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages
447 built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt.

451 debhelper (1.2.24) unstable; urgency=low
453 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
454 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
455 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
456 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.
457 Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the

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

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

520 debhelper (1.2.17) unstable; urgency=low
522 * dh_makeshlibs: relaxed regexp to find library name and number a little so
523 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
524 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

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

694 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
695 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
696 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
697 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
698 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
699 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

1064 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
1065 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
1066 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
1067 past week. Thanks, guys!
1069 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
1070 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
1071 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
1072 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
1073 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
1074 would do in the same situation.
1075 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
1076 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
1078 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
1080 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
1081 permissions changed.
1082 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
1083 some people enjoy changing root's name.
1084 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
1085 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
1086 files are treated identically.
1087 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
1088 * Minor man page fixes.
1089 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
1090 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
1091 --no-act is on. (#23054)

1099 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
1100 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
1101 use -X multiple times, too.
1102 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
1103 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

1128 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
1129 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

1581 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
1582 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
1583 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
1584 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

1645 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
1646 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
1647 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
1648 multiple binary packages.
1649 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
1650 should rebuild them with this version.
1651 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

1671 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
1672 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
1673 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
1674 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
1675 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
1676 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
1677 debian/README.debian.
1678 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
1679 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
1680 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
1681 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
1682 in a few situations.)

1718 * Multiple binary package support.
1719 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
1720 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
1721 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
1723 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
1724 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
1725 auto-installed as parameters.
1726 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
1728 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
1731 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
1732 the package build directory it is to act on.
1733 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
1734 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
1735 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
