1314 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1315 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1316 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1317 dh_install, which ...
1318 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1319 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1320 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1321 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1322 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1323 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1324 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1325 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1326 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1327 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1328 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1329 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1330 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1331 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1332 other minor changes.
1333 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1334 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1335 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1336 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1337 course there's -X ..)
1338 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1339 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1340 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1342 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1343 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1344 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1345 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1346 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1391 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1392 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1393 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1394 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1421 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1423 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1424 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1425 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1426 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1427 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1428 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1429 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1430 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1431 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1432 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1433 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1434 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1435 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1436 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1437 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1438 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1440 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1458 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1459 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1460 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1475 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1476 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1477 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1478 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1479 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1480 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1481 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1482 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1483 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1659 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

1661 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1662 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1663 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1664 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1665 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1666 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1667 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1668 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1669 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1671 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1693 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1694 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1695 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1696 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1697 program those options go to. So, for example,
1698 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1699 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1841 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1842 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1843 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1844 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1845 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1846 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1901 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1903 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1904 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1905 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1906 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1907 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1908 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1909 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1910 but is mildly deprecated.
1911 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1912 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1913 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1914 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1915 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1916 switching to statoverrides..
1917 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1918 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1919 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1920 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1921 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1922 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1924 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1925 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1926 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1927 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1928 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1929 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1930 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1931 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1932 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1934 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1935 variable names, pod man pages).
1936 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1937 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1938 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1939 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1940 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1941 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1942 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2103 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2105 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2106 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2107 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2108 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2109 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2110 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2111 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2113 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2114 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2115 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2117 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2119 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2120 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2121 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2122 should now be raised to severity important..
2123 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2124 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2163 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2164 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2165 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2166 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2167 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2180 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2181 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2182 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2183 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2184 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2356 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2358 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2359 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2360 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2361 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2362 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2363 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2364 notice until v2 is complete.
2365 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2366 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2367 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2368 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2369 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2370 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2372 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2373 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2374 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2496 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2497 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2499 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2500 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2501 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2502 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2583 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2584 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2585 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2586 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2587 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2588 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2589 bits until all files have been registered.

2598 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2599 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2600 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2601 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2602 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2603 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2604 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2605 otherwise change the result at all.

2608 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2627 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2628 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2630 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2631 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2632 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2633 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2727 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2728 I made some changes, though:
2729 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2730 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2731 that is a clear violation of policy.
2732 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2733 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2734 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2735 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2736 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2737 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2738 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2739 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2740 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2742 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2786 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2787 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2788 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2907 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2908 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2909 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2910 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2911 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2912 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2913 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2914 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2915 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2916 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2917 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2927 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3868 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3869 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3870 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4046 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4047 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4048 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4049 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4050 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4051 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4052 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4053 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4054 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4055 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4056 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4057 passed any switches.
4058 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4071 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4238 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4239 past week. Thanks, guys!
4241 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4242 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4243 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4244 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4245 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4246 would do in the same situation.
4247 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4248 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4250 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4252 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4253 permissions changed.
4254 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4255 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4256 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4257 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4258 files are treated identically.
4259 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4272 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4273 use -X multiple times, too.

4586 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4587 a given package, or -i or -a.
4588 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4589 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4674 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
