43 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
44 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of

47 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
48 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
49 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
50 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

71 * Non-maintainer upload.
73 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
74 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
75 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
76 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
77 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
78 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
79 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
80 specific python version. Closes: #373853
81 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
82 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
84 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
85 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
86 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
87 the not too-distant future).
88 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
89 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
90 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
91 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
92 thus made the build fail.

1788 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1789 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1790 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1791 dh_install, which ...
1792 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1793 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1794 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1795 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1796 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1797 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1798 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1799 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1800 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1801 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1802 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1803 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1804 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1805 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1806 other minor changes.
1807 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1808 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1809 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1810 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1811 course there's -X ..)
1812 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1813 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1814 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1816 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1817 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1818 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1819 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1820 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1864 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1865 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1867 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1868 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1895 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1897 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1898 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1899 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1900 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1901 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1902 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1903 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1904 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1905 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1906 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1907 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1908 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1909 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1910 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1911 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1912 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1914 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1932 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1933 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1934 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1949 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1950 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1951 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1952 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1953 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1954 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1955 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1956 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1957 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2131 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2133 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2134 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2135 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2136 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2137 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2138 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2139 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2140 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2141 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2142 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2143 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2144 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2145 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2165 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2166 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2167 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2168 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2169 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2170 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2171 program those options go to. So, for example,
2172 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2173 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2174 something complex. Closes: #89311

2314 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2315 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2316 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2317 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2318 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2319 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2320 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2321 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2375 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2377 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2378 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2379 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2380 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2381 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2382 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2383 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2384 but is mildly deprecated.
2385 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2386 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2387 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2388 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2389 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2390 switching to statoverrides..
2391 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2392 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2393 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2394 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2395 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2396 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2398 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2399 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2400 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2401 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2402 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2403 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2404 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2405 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2406 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2408 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2409 variable names, pod man pages).
2410 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2411 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2412 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2413 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2414 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2415 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2416 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2579 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2580 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2581 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2582 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2583 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2584 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2585 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2587 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2588 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2589 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2591 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2593 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2594 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2595 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2596 should now be raised to severity important..
2597 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2598 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2640 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2657 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2830 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2832 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2833 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2834 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2835 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2836 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2837 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2838 notice until v2 is complete.
2839 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2840 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2841 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2842 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2843 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2844 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2846 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2847 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2848 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3057 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3058 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3059 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3060 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3061 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3062 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3063 bits until all files have been registered.

3069 * dh_installmanpages:
3070 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3071 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3072 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3073 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3074 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3075 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3076 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3077 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3078 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3079 otherwise change the result at all.
3081 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3082 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3083 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3084 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3101 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3102 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3104 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3105 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3106 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3107 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3201 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3202 I made some changes, though:
3203 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3204 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3205 that is a clear violation of policy.
3206 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3207 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3208 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3209 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3210 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3211 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3212 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3213 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3214 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3216 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3261 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3262 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3383 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3384 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3385 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3386 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3387 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3388 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3389 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3390 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3391 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3401 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3554 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3555 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3556 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
3558 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.

3562 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
3564 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3565 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3566 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3567 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3574 things if CDPATH is set.

3601 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3602 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
3603 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

3614 debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
3616 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
3617 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
3618 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
3619 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3620 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3632 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
3633 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3634 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3635 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3636 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3637 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3638 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3639 current compatability level is equal to that number.
3640 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.

3667 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3668 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3669 more than 1 init script.

3676 failing if it was given absolute filenames.

3712 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3713 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3714 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3728 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3729 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3730 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3732 x bit was being set!

3738 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
3739 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
3740 well. (Closes: 38900)

3774 help from Julian Gilbey.

3776 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3777 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3778 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
3779 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
3780 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

3884 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4099 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4100 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4101 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4102 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

4127 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4128 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4129 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4130 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4131 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4132 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4133 suidregister actually supports it.
4134 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4135 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4148 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4149 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

4151 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4152 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4153 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

4155 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4323 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

4339 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4340 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4341 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4342 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4343 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4344 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4345 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4385 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

4710 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4711 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4712 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4713 past week. Thanks, guys!
4715 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4716 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4717 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4718 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4719 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4720 would do in the same situation.
4721 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4722 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4724 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4726 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4727 permissions changed.
4728 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4729 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4730 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4731 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4732 files are treated identically.
4733 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4734 * Minor man page fixes.
4735 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4746 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4747 use -X multiple times, too.

5043 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5044 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5045 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5046 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
5047 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

5057 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5058 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5059 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5060 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5061 a given package, or -i or -a.
5062 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5063 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5064 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5065 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5066 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5067 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5068 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5069 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5073 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

5147 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5148 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5149 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

5326 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5327 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5328 in a few situations.)

5378 the package build directory it is to act on.

5380 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
