21 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
22 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
23 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting

529 * Update of dh_python
530 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
531 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
532 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
533 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
534 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
535 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
536 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
537 specific python version. Closes: #373853
538 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
539 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
541 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
542 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
543 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
544 the not too-distant future).
545 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
546 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

2245 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2246 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2247 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2248 dh_install, which ...
2249 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2250 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2251 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2252 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2253 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2254 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2255 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2256 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2257 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2258 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2259 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2260 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2261 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2262 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2263 other minor changes.
2264 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2265 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2266 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2267 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2268 course there's -X ..)
2269 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2270 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2271 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2273 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2274 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2275 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2276 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2277 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2324 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2325 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2352 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2354 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2355 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2356 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2357 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2358 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2359 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2360 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2361 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2362 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2363 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2364 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2365 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2366 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2367 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2368 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2369 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2371 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2389 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

2406 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2407 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2408 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2409 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2410 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2411 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2412 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2413 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2414 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2590 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2591 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2592 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2593 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2594 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2595 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2596 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2597 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2598 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2599 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2600 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2602 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2623 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2624 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2625 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2626 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2627 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2628 program those options go to. So, for example,
2629 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2630 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2774 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2775 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2776 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2777 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2832 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2834 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2835 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2836 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2837 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2838 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2840 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2841 but is mildly deprecated.
2842 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2843 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2844 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2845 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2846 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2847 switching to statoverrides..
2848 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2849 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2850 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2851 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2852 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2853 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2855 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2856 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2857 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2858 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2859 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2860 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2861 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2862 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2863 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2865 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2866 variable names, pod man pages).
2867 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2868 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2869 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2870 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2871 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2872 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2873 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3036 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3037 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3038 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3039 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3040 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3041 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3042 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3044 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3045 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3046 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3048 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3050 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3051 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3052 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3053 should now be raised to severity important..
3054 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3055 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3097 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3289 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3290 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3291 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3292 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3293 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3294 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3295 notice until v2 is complete.
3296 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3297 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3298 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3299 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3300 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3301 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3303 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3529 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3530 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3531 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3532 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3533 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3534 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3535 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3536 otherwise change the result at all.
3538 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3539 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3540 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3541 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
3542 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

3555 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
3556 act on files that don't exist.
3557 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3558 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3559 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3561 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3562 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3563 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3564 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3589 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
3590 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
3592 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
3593 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
3594 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

3600 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3601 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3602 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3603 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
3604 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
3605 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
3606 does not compress. Closes: #41733

3657 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3658 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3659 I made some changes, though:
3660 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3661 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3662 that is a clear violation of policy.
3663 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3664 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3665 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3666 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3667 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3668 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3669 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3670 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3671 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3673 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3692 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,

3714 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
3715 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3716 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3717 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3718 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3719 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3720 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3721 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3836 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3837 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3838 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3839 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3840 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3841 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3842 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3843 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3844 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3845 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3846 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3847 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3848 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3855 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3856 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3858 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3859 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3860 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3861 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3862 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3863 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4023 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
4024 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

4170 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4171 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4186 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4187 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4584 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4585 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4586 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4587 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4590 suidregister actually supports it.

4799 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4800 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4801 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5020 * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if
5021 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages

5036 updating 27 man pages.
5037 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
5038 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
5039 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

5167 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5168 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5169 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5170 past week. Thanks, guys!
5172 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5173 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5174 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5175 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5176 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5177 would do in the same situation.
5178 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5179 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5181 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5183 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5184 permissions changed.
5185 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5186 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5187 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5188 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5189 files are treated identically.
5190 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5191 * Minor man page fixes.
5192 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5193 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5194 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5201 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5202 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5203 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5204 use -X multiple times, too.
5205 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5206 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5516 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5517 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5518 a given package, or -i or -a.
5519 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5520 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5521 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5522 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5523 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5524 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5525 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5526 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5527 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5529 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5530 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5531 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5554 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5603 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5604 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5605 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5606 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5607 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5608 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5777 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5778 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

5780 debian/README.debian.
5781 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5782 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5783 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5784 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5785 in a few situations.)

5831 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5834 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5835 the package build directory it is to act on.
5836 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5837 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
