1142 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
1143 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
1144 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
1145 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
1146 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
1147 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

1257 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
1258 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
1259 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
1260 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
1261 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
1262 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573

1290 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1292 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1293 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1294 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1295 dh_install, which ...
1296 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1297 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1298 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1299 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1300 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1301 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1302 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1303 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1304 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1305 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1306 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1307 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1308 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1309 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1310 other minor changes.
1311 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1312 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1313 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1314 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1315 course there's -X ..)
1316 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1317 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1318 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1320 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1321 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1322 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1323 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1324 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1366 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
1368 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1369 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1370 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1371 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1372 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
1374 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
1375 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

1399 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1401 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1402 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1403 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1404 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1405 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1406 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1407 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1408 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1409 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1410 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1411 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1412 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1413 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1414 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1415 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1416 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1418 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1432 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
1434 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
1435 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1436 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1437 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1438 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1439 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
1440 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

1451 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1453 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1454 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1455 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1456 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1457 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1458 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1459 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1460 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1461 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1463 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.

1635 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1637 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1638 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1639 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1640 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1641 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1642 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1643 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1644 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1645 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1646 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1647 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1648 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1649 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1669 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1670 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1671 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1672 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1673 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1674 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1675 program those options go to. So, for example,
1676 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1677 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1818 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1819 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1820 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1821 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1822 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1823 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1824 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1825 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1879 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1881 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1882 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1883 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1884 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1885 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1886 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1887 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1888 but is mildly deprecated.
1889 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1890 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1891 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1892 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1893 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1894 switching to statoverrides..
1895 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1896 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1897 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1898 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1899 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1900 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1902 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1903 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1904 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1905 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1906 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1907 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1908 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1909 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1910 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1912 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1913 variable names, pod man pages).
1914 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1915 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1916 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1917 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1918 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1919 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1920 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2055 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
2056 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
2057 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain

2081 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2083 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2084 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2085 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2086 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2087 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2088 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2089 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2091 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2092 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2093 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2095 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2097 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2098 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2099 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2100 should now be raised to severity important..
2101 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2102 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2139 debhelper (2.1.23) unstable; urgency=low
2141 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2142 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2143 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2144 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2145 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2157 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2158 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2159 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2160 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2161 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2162 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2270 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

2334 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2336 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2337 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2338 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2339 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2340 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2341 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2342 notice until v2 is complete.
2343 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2344 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2345 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2346 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2347 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2348 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2350 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2351 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2352 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2477 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2479 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2480 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2561 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2562 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2563 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2564 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2565 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2566 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2567 bits until all files have been registered.

2573 * dh_installmanpages:
2574 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
2575 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
2576 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2577 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2578 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2579 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2580 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2581 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2582 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2583 otherwise change the result at all.
2585 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2586 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2587 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2588 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

2605 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2606 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2608 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2609 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2610 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2611 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2650 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

2705 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2706 I made some changes, though:
2707 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2708 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2709 that is a clear violation of policy.
2710 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2711 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2712 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2713 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2714 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2715 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2716 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2717 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2718 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2720 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2764 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2765 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2766 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2884 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2885 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2886 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2887 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2888 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2889 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2890 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2891 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2892 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2893 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2894 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2895 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2905 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3049 debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
3051 * At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. It takes a simple list of
3052 info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)

3056 debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
3058 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3059 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3060 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
3062 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.

3066 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
3068 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3069 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3070 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3071 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3078 things if CDPATH is set.

3088 debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low

3091 seems to make sense for the transition.

3095 debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low

3098 using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be

3103 debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low
3105 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3106 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
3107 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

3111 debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low
3113 * Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at
3114 that version. (Closes: #40589)

3118 debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
3120 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
3121 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
3122 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
3123 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3124 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3134 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
3136 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
3137 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3138 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3139 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3140 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3141 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3142 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3143 current compatability level is equal to that number.
3144 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
3145 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.
3146 * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatable with

3151 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low
3153 * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2.
3154 * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes.
3155 * README: mention doc/v2
3156 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT
3157 * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files

3161 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
3163 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
3164 be using this script RSN.

3168 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
3170 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3171 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3172 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3173 more than 1 init script.

3177 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
3179 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
3180 failing if it was given absolute filenames.

3191 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low

3194 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying

3214 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
3216 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3217 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3218 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3230 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
3232 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3233 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3234 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
3235 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the
3236 x bit was being set!

3240 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
3242 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
3243 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
3244 well. (Closes: 38900)

3248 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
3250 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
3251 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
3252 work on the man page (closes: #38898).

3275 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
3277 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
3278 help from Julian Gilbey.
3279 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
3280 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3281 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3282 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
3283 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
3284 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
3285 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root

3385 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
3387 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
3388 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
3389 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
3390 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

3418 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of

3595 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
3596 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages

3603 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3604 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
3605 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
3606 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

3631 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3632 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3633 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3634 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
3635 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
3636 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
3637 suidregister actually supports it.
3638 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
3639 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

3652 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
3653 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3654 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3655 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3656 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3657 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3658 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3659 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3674 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

3687 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3688 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3689 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
3690 effect, either. (#30118)

3814 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3815 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3816 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

3825 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3826 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3827 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3828 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3842 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3843 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3844 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3845 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3846 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3847 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3848 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3849 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3885 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3886 sections of shared libraries.

3888 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3889 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3890 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3891 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3892 things you don't want them to.

4042 * dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed.
4043 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
4044 at all for a long while.
4045 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
4046 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4047 large chunks in the process.
4048 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4049 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4067 * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if
4068 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
4069 that don't always have the same files in them.
4070 * dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
4071 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.

4078 * New unstable branch of debhelper.
4080 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
4081 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
4082 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
4083 updating 27 man pages.
4084 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
4085 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
4086 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

4160 with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks,

4214 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4215 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4216 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4217 past week. Thanks, guys!
4219 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4220 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4221 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4222 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4223 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4224 would do in the same situation.
4225 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4226 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4228 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4230 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4231 permissions changed.
4232 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4233 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4234 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4235 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4236 files are treated identically.
4237 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4238 * Minor man page fixes.
4239 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4240 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4241 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4247 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4248 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4249 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4250 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4251 use -X multiple times, too.
4252 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4253 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4275 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.

4277 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4278 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4279 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

4281 shape if you're starting a new package.

4310 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4311 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.

4547 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4548 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4549 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the

4564 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4565 a given package, or -i or -a.
4566 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4567 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4568 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4569 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

4571 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4651 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4652 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4653 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

4830 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4831 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

4882 the package build directory it is to act on.

4884 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
