509 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
510 script and then remove the python files.
511 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
512 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
513 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
514 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
515 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
516 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
517 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
518 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
519 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
520 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
521 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
522 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have

640 * Update of dh_python
641 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
642 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

644 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
645 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
646 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
647 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
648 specific python version. Closes: #373853
649 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
650 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
652 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
653 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
654 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
655 the not too-distant future).
656 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
657 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1030 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
1031 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1032 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows

1034 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2356 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2357 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2358 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2359 dh_install, which ...
2360 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2361 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2362 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2363 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2364 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2365 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2366 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2367 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2368 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2369 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2370 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2371 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2372 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2373 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2374 other minor changes.
2375 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2376 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2377 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2378 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2379 course there's -X ..)
2380 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2381 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2382 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2384 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2385 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2386 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2387 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

2463 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2465 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2466 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2467 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2468 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2469 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2470 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2471 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2472 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2473 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2474 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2475 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2476 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2477 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2478 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2479 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2480 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2482 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2515 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2517 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2518 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2519 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2520 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2521 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2522 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2523 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2524 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2525 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2701 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

2703 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2704 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2705 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2706 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2707 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2708 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2709 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2710 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2711 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2735 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2736 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2737 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2738 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2739 program those options go to. So, for example,
2740 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2741 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2885 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2886 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2887 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2888 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2945 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2946 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2947 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2948 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2949 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2950 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2951 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2952 but is mildly deprecated.
2953 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2954 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2955 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2956 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2957 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2958 switching to statoverrides..
2959 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2960 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2961 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2962 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2963 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2964 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2966 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2967 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2968 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2969 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2970 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2971 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2972 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2973 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2974 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2976 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2977 variable names, pod man pages).
2978 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2979 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2980 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2981 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2982 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2983 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2984 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3053 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3054 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3055 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3056 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3057 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3058 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3059 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3060 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3061 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3062 it is an obsolete program.

3148 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3149 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3150 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3151 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3152 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3153 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3155 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3156 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3157 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3159 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3161 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3162 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3163 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3164 should now be raised to severity important..
3165 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3166 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3207 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3208 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3225 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3400 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3401 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3402 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3403 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3404 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3405 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3406 notice until v2 is complete.
3407 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3408 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3409 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3410 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3411 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3412 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3414 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3533 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
3534 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
3535 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
3536 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3537 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3538 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3539 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3541 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3542 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3543 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3544 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3545 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3546 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
3547 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

3627 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3628 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3629 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3630 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3631 bits until all files have been registered.

3640 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3641 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3642 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3643 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3644 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3645 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3646 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3647 otherwise change the result at all.
3649 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3650 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3651 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3669 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3670 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3672 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3673 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3674 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3675 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3769 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3770 I made some changes, though:
3771 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3772 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3773 that is a clear violation of policy.
3774 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3775 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3776 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3777 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3778 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3779 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3780 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3781 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3782 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3784 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3827 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3828 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3829 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3830 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3952 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3953 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3954 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3955 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3956 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3957 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3958 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3959 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4027 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
4028 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
4029 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
4030 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4031 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4032 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4033 it's always available.

4039 * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
4040 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
4041 Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> to make it use those id's instead
4042 of coming up with it's own. (Closes: #42650)

4075 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
4076 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
4077 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

4133 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4169 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a

4203 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4204 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

4207 current compatability level is equal to that number.

4280 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4281 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4282 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4297 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4298 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4346 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4667 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4668 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4695 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4696 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4697 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4698 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4699 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.

4701 suidregister actually supports it.
4702 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4703 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4716 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4717 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4718 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4719 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4720 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4721 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4722 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4723 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4751 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4752 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not

4754 effect, either. (#30118)

4907 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4908 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4909 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4910 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4911 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4912 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4913 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5028 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5029 * Removed bogus menu file.

5077 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5078 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5092 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5093 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5094 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5095 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5096 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5097 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5279 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5280 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5281 past week. Thanks, guys!
5283 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5284 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5285 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5286 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5287 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5288 would do in the same situation.
5289 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5290 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5292 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5294 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5295 permissions changed.
5296 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5297 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5298 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5299 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5300 files are treated identically.
5301 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5314 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5315 use -X multiple times, too.
5316 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5317 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5590 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

5592 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5593 are supported. (#16935)

5611 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5612 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5613 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5614 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

5621 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5622 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5623 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of

5626 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5627 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5628 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5629 a given package, or -i or -a.
5630 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5631 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5632 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5633 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5634 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5635 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5636 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5637 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5638 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

5665 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5715 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5716 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5717 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5718 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
