1089 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1090 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1091 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1092 dh_install, which ...
1093 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1094 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1095 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1096 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1097 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1098 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1099 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1100 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1101 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1102 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1103 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1104 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1105 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1106 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1107 other minor changes.
1108 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1109 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1110 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1111 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1112 course there's -X ..)
1113 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1114 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1115 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1117 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1118 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1119 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1120 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1121 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1196 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1198 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1199 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1200 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1201 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1202 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1203 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1204 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1205 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1206 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1207 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1208 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1209 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1210 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1211 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1212 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1213 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1215 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1250 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1251 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1252 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1253 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1254 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1255 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1256 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1257 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1618 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1619 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1620 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1621 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1678 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1679 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1680 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1681 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1682 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1684 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1685 but is mildly deprecated.
1686 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1687 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1688 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1689 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1690 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1691 switching to statoverrides..
1692 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1693 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1694 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1695 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1696 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1697 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1699 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1700 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1701 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1702 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1703 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1704 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1705 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1706 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1707 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1709 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1710 variable names, pod man pages).
1711 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1712 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1713 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1714 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1715 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1716 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1717 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2131 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2133 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2134 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2135 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2136 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2137 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2138 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2139 notice until v2 is complete.
2140 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2141 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2142 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2143 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2144 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2145 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2147 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2148 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2149 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2150 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2274 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2361 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2362 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2363 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2364 bits until all files have been registered.

2503 I made some changes, though:
2504 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2505 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2506 that is a clear violation of policy.
2507 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2508 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2509 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2510 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2511 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2512 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2513 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2514 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2515 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2517 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2559 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2560 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2561 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

2682 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2683 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2684 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2685 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2686 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2687 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2688 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2689 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2690 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2691 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2692 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3611 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3612 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3613 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

3621 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3622 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3623 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3624 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3625 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3638 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3639 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3640 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3641 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3642 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3643 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3644 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3645 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3646 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3659 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

3682 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3683 sections of shared libraries.
3684 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3685 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3686 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3687 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3688 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3689 things you don't want them to.
3690 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3691 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3718 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3719 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

3750 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in

3752 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3753 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3754 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3755 I apologize for the inconvenience.

3758 remove debian/files properly.
3759 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

3825 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3826 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3827 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3828 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3829 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3830 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3832 passed any switches.

3844 large chunks in the process.

4013 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4014 past week. Thanks, guys!
4016 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4017 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4018 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4019 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4020 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4021 would do in the same situation.
4022 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4023 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

4027 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4028 permissions changed.

4030 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4031 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4032 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4033 files are treated identically.
4034 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4045 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4046 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4047 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4048 use -X multiple times, too.
4049 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4050 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4583 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4584 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

4590 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4592 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4593 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4594 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4595 multiple binary packages.
4596 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4597 should rebuild them with this version.
4598 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4616 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4618 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4619 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4620 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4621 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4622 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4623 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4624 debian/README.debian.
4625 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4626 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4627 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4628 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4629 in a few situations.)

4660 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4662 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4663 is ready for general use.
4664 * Added man pages for all commands.
4665 * Multiple binary package support.
4666 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4667 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4668 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4670 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4671 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4672 auto-installed as parameters.
4673 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4675 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4678 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4679 the package build directory it is to act on.
4680 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4681 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4682 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
