95 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
97 * Non-maintainer upload.
99 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
100 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
101 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
102 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
103 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
104 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
105 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
106 specific python version. Closes: #373853
107 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
108 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
110 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
111 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
112 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
113 the not too-distant future).
114 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
115 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
116 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
117 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
118 thus made the build fail.

1814 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1815 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1816 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1817 dh_install, which ...
1818 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1819 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1820 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1821 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1822 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1823 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1824 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1825 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1826 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1827 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1828 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1829 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1830 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1831 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1832 other minor changes.
1833 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1834 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1835 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1836 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1837 course there's -X ..)
1838 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1839 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1840 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1842 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1843 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1844 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1845 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1846 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1891 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1893 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1894 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1921 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1923 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1924 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1925 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1926 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1927 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1928 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1929 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1930 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1931 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1932 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1933 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1934 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1935 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1936 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1937 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1938 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1940 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1958 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1959 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!

1973 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1975 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1976 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1977 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1978 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1979 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1980 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1981 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1982 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1983 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2157 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2159 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2160 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2161 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2162 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2163 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2164 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2165 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2166 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2167 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2168 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2169 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2171 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2191 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2192 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2193 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2194 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2195 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2196 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2197 program those options go to. So, for example,
2198 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2199 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2338 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2340 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2341 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2342 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2343 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2344 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2345 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2346 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2347 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2348 Closes: #88464, #77743

2401 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2403 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2404 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2405 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2406 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2407 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2408 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2409 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2410 but is mildly deprecated.
2411 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2412 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2413 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2414 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2415 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2416 switching to statoverrides..
2417 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2418 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2419 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2420 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2421 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2422 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2424 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2425 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2426 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2427 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2428 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2429 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2430 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2431 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2432 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2434 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2435 variable names, pod man pages).
2436 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2437 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2438 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2439 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2440 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2441 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2442 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2606 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2607 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2608 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2609 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2610 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2611 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2613 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2614 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2615 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2617 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2619 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2620 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2621 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2622 should now be raised to severity important..
2623 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2624 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2666 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2683 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2858 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2859 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2860 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2861 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2862 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2863 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2864 notice until v2 is complete.
2865 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2866 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2867 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2868 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2869 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2870 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2872 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2873 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

3083 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3084 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3085 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3086 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3087 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3088 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3089 bits until all files have been registered.

3098 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3099 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3100 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3101 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3102 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3103 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3104 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3105 otherwise change the result at all.
3107 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3108 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3109 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3127 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3128 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3130 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3131 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3132 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3133 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3227 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3228 I made some changes, though:
3229 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3230 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3231 that is a clear violation of policy.
3232 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3233 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3234 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3235 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3236 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3237 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3238 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3239 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3240 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3242 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3286 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3287 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3288 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3406 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3407 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3408 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3409 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3410 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3411 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3412 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3413 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3414 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3415 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3416 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3417 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3427 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3580 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3581 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3582 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3590 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3591 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3661 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3662 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3755 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3756 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4368 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4369 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4370 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

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

4738 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4739 past week. Thanks, guys!
4741 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4742 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4743 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4744 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4745 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4746 would do in the same situation.
4747 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4748 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4750 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4752 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4753 permissions changed.
4754 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4755 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4756 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4757 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4758 files are treated identically.
4759 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4772 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4773 use -X multiple times, too.

5047 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5048 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5049 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5050 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5051 are supported. (#16935)
5052 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5086 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5087 a given package, or -i or -a.

5174 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
