44 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
45 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
46 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
47 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
48 specific python version. Closes: #373853
49 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
50 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
52 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
53 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
54 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
55 the not too-distant future).
56 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
57 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
58 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of

1756 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1757 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1758 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1759 dh_install, which ...
1760 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1761 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1762 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1763 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1764 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1765 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1766 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1767 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1768 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1769 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1770 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1771 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1772 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1773 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1774 other minor changes.
1775 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1776 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1777 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1778 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1779 course there's -X ..)
1780 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1781 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1782 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1784 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1785 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1786 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1787 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1788 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1832 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1833 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1834 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1835 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1836 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1863 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1865 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1866 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1867 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1868 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1869 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1870 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1871 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1872 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1873 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1874 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1875 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1876 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1877 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1878 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1879 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1880 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1882 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1917 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1918 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1919 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1920 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1921 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1922 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1923 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1924 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1925 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2099 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2101 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2102 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2103 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2104 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2105 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2106 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2107 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2108 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2109 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2110 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2111 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2112 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2113 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2131 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2133 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2134 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2135 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2136 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2137 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2138 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2139 program those options go to. So, for example,
2140 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2141 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2142 something complex. Closes: #89311

2282 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2283 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2284 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2285 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2286 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2287 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2288 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2289 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2290 Closes: #88464, #77743

2343 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2345 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2346 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2347 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2348 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2349 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2350 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2351 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2352 but is mildly deprecated.
2353 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2354 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2355 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2356 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2357 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2358 switching to statoverrides..
2359 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2360 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2361 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2362 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2363 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2364 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2366 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2367 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2368 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2369 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2370 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2371 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2372 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2373 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2374 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2376 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2377 variable names, pod man pages).
2378 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2379 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2380 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2381 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2382 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2383 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2384 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2456 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2457 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2459 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2538 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package

2547 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2548 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2549 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2550 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2551 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2552 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2553 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2555 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2556 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2557 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2559 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2561 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2562 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2563 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2564 should now be raised to severity important..
2565 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2566 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2606 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2607 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2608 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2609 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2625 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2800 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2801 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2802 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2803 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2804 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2805 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2806 notice until v2 is complete.
2807 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2808 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2809 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2810 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2811 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2812 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2814 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2815 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2816 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3045 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3046 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3047 otherwise change the result at all.
3049 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3050 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3051 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3052 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3066 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
3067 act on files that don't exist.
3068 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3069 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3070 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3072 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3073 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3074 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3075 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3100 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
3101 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
3103 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
3104 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
3105 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

3111 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3112 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3113 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3114 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
3115 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
3116 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
3117 does not compress. Closes: #41733
3118 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
3120 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.

3168 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3169 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3170 I made some changes, though:
3171 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3172 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3173 that is a clear violation of policy.
3174 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3175 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3176 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3177 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3178 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3179 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3180 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3181 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3182 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3184 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3203 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3204 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
3205 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

3225 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
3226 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3227 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3228 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3229 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3230 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3231 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3232 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3347 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3348 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3349 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3350 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3351 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3352 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3353 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3354 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3355 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3356 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3357 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3358 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3359 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3365 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3366 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3367 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3369 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3370 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3371 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3372 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3373 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3374 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3376 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3377 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3569 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3570 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
3571 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

3603 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3604 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3605 * debhelper.1: documented this.

3607 current compatability level is equal to that number.

3680 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3681 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3682 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3697 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3698 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3746 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3748 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4068 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4095 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4096 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4097 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4098 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4101 suidregister actually supports it.

4310 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4311 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4312 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4678 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4679 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4680 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4681 past week. Thanks, guys!
4683 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4684 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4685 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4686 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4687 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4688 would do in the same situation.
4689 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4690 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4692 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4694 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4695 permissions changed.
4696 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4697 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4698 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4699 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4700 files are treated identically.
4701 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4702 * Minor man page fixes.
4703 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4714 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4715 use -X multiple times, too.

5034 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5035 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5036 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5037 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5041 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5042 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5064 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5065 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5066 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

5114 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5115 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5116 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5117 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5118 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5119 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5195 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5196 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5197 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5198 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5287 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5288 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5289 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5290 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5291 debian/README.debian.
5292 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5293 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5294 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5295 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5296 in a few situations.)

5342 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5345 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5346 the package build directory it is to act on.
5347 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5348 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5349 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
