15 * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
16 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
17 to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
19 (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
20 warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)

29 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
30 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
31 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
32 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
34 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
35 that uses them. Affected options are:
36 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
37 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
38 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
39 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
40 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
41 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
42 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
43 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
44 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
45 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
46 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
47 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

539 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
540 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
542 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
543 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
544 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
545 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
546 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
547 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
548 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
549 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
550 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

552 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

560 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
561 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
562 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
563 script and then remove the python files.
564 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
565 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
566 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
567 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
568 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
569 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
570 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
571 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
572 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
573 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

694 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
695 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
696 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
697 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
698 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
699 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
700 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
701 specific python version. Closes: #373853
702 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
703 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
705 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
706 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
707 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
708 the not too-distant future).
709 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
710 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1083 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
1084 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1085 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1086 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1087 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2262 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new

2409 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2410 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2411 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2412 dh_install, which ...
2413 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2414 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2415 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2416 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2417 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2418 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2419 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2420 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2421 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2422 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2423 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2424 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2425 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2426 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2427 other minor changes.
2428 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2429 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2430 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2431 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2432 course there's -X ..)
2433 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2434 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2435 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2437 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2438 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2439 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2440 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2441 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2485 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2486 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2487 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2488 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2489 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2522 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2523 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2524 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2525 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2526 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2527 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2528 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2529 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2530 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2531 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2532 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2533 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2535 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2570 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2571 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2572 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2573 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2574 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2575 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2576 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2577 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2762 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2763 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2764 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2790 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2791 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever

3006 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3007 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3008 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3009 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3010 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3011 switching to statoverrides..
3012 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3013 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3014 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3015 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3016 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3017 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3019 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3020 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3021 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3022 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3023 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3024 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3025 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3026 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3027 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3029 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3030 variable names, pod man pages).
3031 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3032 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3033 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3034 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3035 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3036 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3037 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3109 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3110 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3202 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3203 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3204 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3205 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3206 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3208 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3209 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3210 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3212 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3214 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3215 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3216 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3217 should now be raised to severity important..

3261 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3453 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3454 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3455 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3456 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3457 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3458 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3459 notice until v2 is complete.
3460 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3461 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3462 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3463 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3464 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3465 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3595 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3596 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3597 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3598 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3680 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3681 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3682 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3683 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3684 bits until all files have been registered.

3695 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3696 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3822 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3823 I made some changes, though:
3824 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3825 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3826 that is a clear violation of policy.
3827 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3828 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3829 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3830 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3831 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3832 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3833 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3834 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3835 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3837 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4006 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4007 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4008 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4009 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4010 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will

4018 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4019 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4020 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4022 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4023 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4024 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4025 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4026 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4027 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4029 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4030 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4720 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4721 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4750 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

4963 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4964 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4965 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4966 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5070 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5071 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5072 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5073 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5074 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5075 I apologize for the inconvenience.

5078 remove debian/files properly.

5148 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem

5333 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5334 past week. Thanks, guys!
5336 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5337 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5338 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5339 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5340 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5341 would do in the same situation.
5342 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5343 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5345 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5347 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5348 permissions changed.
5349 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5350 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5351 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5352 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5353 files are treated identically.

5367 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5368 use -X multiple times, too.

5674 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5675 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5680 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5681 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5682 a given package, or -i or -a.
5683 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5684 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5685 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5686 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5687 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5688 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5690 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5769 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
