98 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
99 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
100 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
101 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
102 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
103 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

133 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
134 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
135 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
136 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980

138 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

253 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
254 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
255 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
256 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
257 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1579 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1580 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1581 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1582 dh_install, which ...
1583 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1584 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1585 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1586 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1587 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1588 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1589 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1590 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1591 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1592 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1593 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1594 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1595 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1596 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1597 other minor changes.
1598 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1599 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1600 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1601 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1602 course there's -X ..)
1603 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1604 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1605 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1607 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1608 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1609 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1610 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1611 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1656 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1658 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1686 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1688 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1689 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1690 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1691 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1692 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1693 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1694 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1695 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1696 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1697 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1698 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1699 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1700 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1701 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1702 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1703 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1705 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1740 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1741 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1742 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1743 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1744 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1745 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1746 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1747 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2108 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2109 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2110 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2111 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2166 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2168 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2169 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2170 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2171 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2172 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2174 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2175 but is mildly deprecated.
2176 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2177 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2178 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2179 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2180 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2181 switching to statoverrides..
2182 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2183 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2184 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2185 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2186 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2187 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2189 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2190 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2191 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2192 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2193 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2194 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2195 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2196 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2197 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2199 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2200 variable names, pod man pages).
2201 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2202 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2203 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2204 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2205 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2206 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2207 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2373 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2375 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2376 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2378 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2379 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2380 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2623 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2624 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2625 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2626 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2627 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2628 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2629 notice until v2 is complete.
2630 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2631 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2632 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2633 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2634 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2635 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2637 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2638 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2639 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2640 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2764 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2851 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2852 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2853 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2854 bits until all files have been registered.

2993 I made some changes, though:
2994 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2995 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2996 that is a clear violation of policy.
2997 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2998 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2999 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3000 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3001 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3002 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3003 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3004 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3005 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3007 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3172 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3173 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3174 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3175 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3176 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3177 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3178 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3179 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3180 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3181 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3182 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4101 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4102 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4103 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

4111 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4112 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4113 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4114 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4115 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4128 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4129 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4130 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4131 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4132 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4133 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4134 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4135 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4136 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4172 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note

4175 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4176 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4177 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4178 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4179 things you don't want them to.

4242 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4243 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4244 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4318 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4319 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4320 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4507 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4508 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4509 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4510 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4511 would do in the same situation.

4513 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

4852 a given package, or -i or -a.

4854 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5065 * Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README.
5066 (#13990) Thanks, Adrian.

5070 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
5072 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5073 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5074 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5075 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5076 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5080 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5082 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5083 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5084 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5085 multiple binary packages.
5086 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5087 should rebuild them with this version.
5088 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5092 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
5094 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
5095 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

5099 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
5101 * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file.

5106 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5108 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5109 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5110 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5111 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5112 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5113 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5114 debian/README.debian.
5115 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5116 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5117 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5118 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5119 in a few situations.)

5123 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5125 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

5129 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5142 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5144 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
5145 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
5146 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

5150 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5152 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5153 is ready for general use.
5154 * Added man pages for all commands.
5155 * Multiple binary package support.
5156 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5157 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5158 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5160 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5161 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5162 auto-installed as parameters.
5163 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5165 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5168 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5169 the package build directory it is to act on.
5170 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5171 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5172 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
