99 * Non-maintainer upload.
100 * Update of dh_python
101 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
102 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
103 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
104 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
105 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
106 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
107 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
108 specific python version. Closes: #373853
109 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
110 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
112 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
113 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
114 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
115 the not too-distant future).
116 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
117 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
118 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
119 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
120 thus made the build fail.

1816 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1817 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1818 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1819 dh_install, which ...
1820 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1821 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1822 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1823 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1824 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1825 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1826 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1827 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1828 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1829 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1830 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1831 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1832 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1833 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1834 other minor changes.
1835 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1836 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1837 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1838 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1839 course there's -X ..)
1840 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1841 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1842 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1844 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1845 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1846 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1847 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1848 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1895 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1896 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1923 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1925 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1926 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1927 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1928 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1929 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1930 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1931 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1932 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1933 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1934 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1935 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1936 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1937 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1938 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1939 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1940 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1942 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1959 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1960 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1961 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1962 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1963 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

1977 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1978 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1979 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1980 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1981 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1982 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1983 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1984 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1985 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2159 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2161 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2162 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2163 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2164 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2165 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2166 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2167 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2168 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2169 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2170 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2171 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2172 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2173 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2191 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2193 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2194 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2195 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2196 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2197 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2198 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2199 program those options go to. So, for example,
2200 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2201 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2202 something complex. Closes: #89311

2340 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2342 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2343 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2344 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2345 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2346 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2347 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2348 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2349 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2350 Closes: #88464, #77743

2403 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2405 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2406 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2407 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2408 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2409 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2410 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2411 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2412 but is mildly deprecated.
2413 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2414 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2415 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2416 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2417 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2418 switching to statoverrides..
2419 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2420 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2421 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2422 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2423 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2424 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2426 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2427 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2428 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2429 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2430 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2431 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2432 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2433 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2434 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2436 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2437 variable names, pod man pages).
2438 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2439 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2440 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2441 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2442 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2443 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2444 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2607 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2608 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2609 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2610 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2611 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2612 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2613 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2615 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2616 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2617 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2619 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2621 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2622 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2623 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2624 should now be raised to severity important..
2625 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2626 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2668 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2684 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2685 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2686 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2860 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2861 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2862 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2863 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2864 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2865 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2866 notice until v2 is complete.
2867 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2868 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2869 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2870 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2871 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2872 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2874 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2875 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2876 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3085 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3086 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3087 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3088 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3089 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3090 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3091 bits until all files have been registered.

3097 * dh_installmanpages:
3098 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3099 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3100 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3101 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3102 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3103 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3104 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3105 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3106 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3107 otherwise change the result at all.
3109 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3110 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3111 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3112 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3129 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3130 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3132 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3133 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3134 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3135 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3174 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

3228 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3229 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3230 I made some changes, though:
3231 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3232 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3233 that is a clear violation of policy.
3234 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3235 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3236 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3237 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3238 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3239 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3240 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3241 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3242 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3244 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3286 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3287 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3288 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3289 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3290 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3408 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3409 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3410 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3411 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3412 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3413 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3414 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3415 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3416 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3417 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3418 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3419 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3429 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3430 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3431 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3432 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3433 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3434 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3554 update your "use" line and declare an appropriate dependancy. (Closes:

3584 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3592 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3593 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3648 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3663 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3664 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3665 * debhelper.1: documented this.

3667 current compatability level is equal to that number.

3740 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3741 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3742 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3756 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3757 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3758 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3804 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)

3806 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3808 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

3911 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
3912 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3914 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

4370 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4371 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4372 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4550 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4551 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4552 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4553 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4554 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4555 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4556 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4557 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4558 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4559 passed any switches.
4560 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4740 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4741 past week. Thanks, guys!
4743 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4744 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4745 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4746 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4747 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4748 would do in the same situation.
4749 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4750 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4752 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4754 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4755 permissions changed.
4756 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4757 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4758 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4759 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4760 files are treated identically.

4774 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4775 use -X multiple times, too.

5052 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5053 are supported. (#16935)

5088 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5089 a given package, or -i or -a.
5090 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5091 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5176 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
