19 * Man page typo. Closes: #545443
20 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
21 (It was only run once due to logging.)
22 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
23 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
24 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
25 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
26 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
27 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
28 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
29 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
30 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev
31 is installed for the first package. Closes: #546337

49 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
50 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
51 flag with arch all/any packages.
52 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
53 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
54 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
55 situation. Closes: #540794

210 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
211 contributed by Modestas Vainius
212 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
213 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
214 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
215 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
216 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
217 that support it. Closes: #480577
218 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
219 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
220 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
222 - Adds support for cmake.
223 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
224 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
226 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
228 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
229 that use them. The options are:
230 --sourcedir, --destdir
231 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
232 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
233 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
234 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
235 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

298 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
299 warning or deprecation message.
300 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
301 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
302 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
303 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
304 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
305 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
306 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

1046 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1047 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1049 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1050 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1051 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1052 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1053 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1054 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1055 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1056 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1057 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1067 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1068 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1069 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1070 script and then remove the python files.
1071 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1072 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1073 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1074 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1075 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1076 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1077 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1078 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1079 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1080 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1201 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1202 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1203 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1204 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1205 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1206 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1207 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1208 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1209 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1210 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1212 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1213 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1214 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1215 the not too-distant future).
1216 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1217 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1594 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2916 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2917 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2918 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2919 dh_install, which ...
2920 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2921 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2922 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2923 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2924 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2925 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2926 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2927 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2928 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2929 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2930 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2931 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2932 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2933 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2934 other minor changes.
2935 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2936 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2937 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2938 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2939 course there's -X ..)
2940 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2941 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2942 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2944 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2945 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2946 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2947 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2948 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2995 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2996 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3026 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3027 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3028 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3029 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3030 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3031 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3032 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3033 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3034 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3035 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3036 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3037 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3038 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3039 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3040 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3042 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3058 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3059 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3060 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3061 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3062 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3063 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3064 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3075 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3077 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3078 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3079 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3080 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3081 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3082 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3083 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3084 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3085 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3265 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3266 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3267 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3268 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3269 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3270 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3271 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3297 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3298 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3299 program those options go to. So, for example,
3300 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3510 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3511 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3512 but is mildly deprecated.
3513 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3514 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3515 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3516 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3517 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3518 switching to statoverrides..
3519 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3520 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3521 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3522 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3523 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3524 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3526 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3527 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3528 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3529 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3530 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3531 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3532 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3533 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3534 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3536 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3537 variable names, pod man pages).
3538 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3539 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3540 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3541 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3542 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3543 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3544 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3617 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3709 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3710 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3711 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3712 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3713 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3715 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3716 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3717 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3719 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3721 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3722 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3723 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3724 should now be raised to severity important..

3768 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3960 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3961 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3962 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3963 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3964 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3965 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3966 notice until v2 is complete.
3967 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3968 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3969 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3970 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3971 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3972 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

4012 of the supported stuff should be called if the postist is called for
4013 error unwinds. Closes: #66673

4103 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4104 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4105 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4187 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4188 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4189 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4190 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4191 bits until all files have been registered.

4202 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4203 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4206 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

4209 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4210 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4232 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to

4330 I made some changes, though:
4331 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4332 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4333 that is a clear violation of policy.
4334 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4335 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4336 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4337 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4338 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4339 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4340 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4341 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4342 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4344 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4513 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4514 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4515 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make

4518 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4519 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4525 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4526 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4527 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4529 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4530 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4531 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4532 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4533 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4534 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4536 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4537 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5227 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that

5470 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5471 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5472 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5473 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5577 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5578 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5579 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5580 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5581 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5582 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5584 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5585 remove debian/files properly.

5840 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5841 past week. Thanks, guys!
5843 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5844 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5845 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5846 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5847 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5848 would do in the same situation.
5849 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5850 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5852 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5854 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5855 permissions changed.

5857 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5858 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5859 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5860 files are treated identically.

5875 use -X multiple times, too.

6150 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6152 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6153 are supported. (#16935)

6172 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6181 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6182 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6186 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6187 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6188 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6189 a given package, or -i or -a.
6190 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6191 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6192 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6193 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6194 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6195 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6196 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6197 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6276 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
