464 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
465 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
466 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
467 dh_install, which ...
468 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
469 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
470 mess, as it uses debian/install.
471 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
472 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
473 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
474 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
475 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
476 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
477 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
478 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
479 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
480 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
481 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
483 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
484 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
485 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
486 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
487 course there's -X ..)
488 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
489 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
490 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
492 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
493 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
494 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
495 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

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

571 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
573 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
574 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
575 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
576 line, as well as in debian/rules.
577 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
578 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
579 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
580 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
581 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
582 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
583 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
584 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
585 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
586 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
587 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
588 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
590 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

845 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
846 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
847 program those options go to. So, for example,
848 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1051 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1053 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1054 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1055 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1056 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1057 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1058 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1059 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1060 but is mildly deprecated.
1061 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1062 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1063 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1064 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1065 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1066 switching to statoverrides..
1067 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1068 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1069 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1070 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1071 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1072 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1074 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1075 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1076 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1077 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1078 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1079 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1080 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1081 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1082 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1084 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1085 variable names, pod man pages).
1086 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1087 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1088 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1089 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1090 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1091 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1092 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1164 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1165 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1167 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
1168 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

1258 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1260 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1261 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1263 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1264 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1265 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1267 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

1270 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1271 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

1508 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1509 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1510 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1511 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1512 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1513 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1514 notice until v2 is complete.
1515 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1516 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1517 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1518 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1519 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1520 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

1647 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
1649 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
1650 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
1651 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
1652 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
1653 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

1735 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
1736 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1737 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1738 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1739 bits until all files have been registered.

1749 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
1750 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1751 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
1752 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
1753 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
1754 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1755 otherwise change the result at all.
1757 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1758 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
1759 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

1877 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
1878 I made some changes, though:
1879 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1880 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1881 that is a clear violation of policy.
1882 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1883 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1884 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1885 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1886 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1887 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1888 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1889 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1890 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1892 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

1936 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

2053 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
2055 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2056 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2057 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2058 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2059 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2060 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2061 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2062 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2063 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2064 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2065 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2066 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2067 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2071 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2073 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2074 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2075 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2077 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2078 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2079 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2080 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2081 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2082 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2084 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2085 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2135 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
2136 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
2137 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
2138 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
2139 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
2140 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
2141 it's always available.

2183 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
2184 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
2185 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

2405 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
2406 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

2559 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
2560 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
2561 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
2562 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

2590 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of

2773 debhelper (1.2.24) unstable; urgency=low
2775 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
2776 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
2777 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
2778 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.
2779 Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the

2801 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
2803 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
2804 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
2805 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
2806 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
2807 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
2808 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
2809 suidregister actually supports it.
2810 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
2811 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

2822 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
2824 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
2825 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
2826 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
2827 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
2828 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
2829 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
2830 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
2831 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

2845 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
2846 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

2859 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
2860 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
2861 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
2862 effect, either. (#30118)

3015 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3016 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3017 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3018 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3019 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3020 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3021 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3057 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3058 sections of shared libraries.
3059 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3060 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3061 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3062 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3063 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3064 things you don't want them to.
3065 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3066 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3093 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3094 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

3125 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3126 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3127 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3128 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3129 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3130 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3132 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3133 remove debian/files properly.
3134 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

3186 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

3200 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3201 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3202 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3203 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3204 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3205 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3388 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3389 past week. Thanks, guys!
3391 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3392 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3393 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3394 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3395 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3396 would do in the same situation.
3397 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3398 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3400 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3402 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3403 permissions changed.
3404 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3405 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3406 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3407 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3408 files are treated identically.
3409 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

3422 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3423 use -X multiple times, too.

3551 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
3552 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
3553 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
3554 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
3555 no packages use the old behavior.

3561 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
3562 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was

3614 * examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
3615 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.

3685 argument processor in perl.
3686 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
3687 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,

3696 type directories. (#16933)
3697 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
3698 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
3699 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
3700 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
3701 are supported. (#16935)

3716 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
3718 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
3719 version requirements in the shlibs file.
3720 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
3721 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
3722 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
3723 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

3727 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
3729 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
3730 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
3731 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
3733 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
3734 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
3735 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
3736 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3737 a given package, or -i or -a.
3738 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3739 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3740 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3741 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
3742 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
3743 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
3744 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
3745 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
3746 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
3748 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
3749 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
3750 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

3770 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
3772 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
3773 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
3774 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

3787 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
3788 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
3789 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
3790 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863

3799 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
3800 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
3801 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
3802 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

3821 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
3822 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
3823 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
3824 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
3825 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
3826 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
3827 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

3903 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.

4002 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper

4039 * Added man pages for all commands.
4040 * Multiple binary package support.
4041 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4042 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4043 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4045 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4046 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4047 auto-installed as parameters.
4048 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4050 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4053 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4054 the package build directory it is to act on.
4055 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4056 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4057 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
