132 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
133 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
134 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

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

192 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
193 sections of shared libraries.
194 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
195 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
196 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
197 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
198 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
199 things you don't want them to.

262 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
263 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
264 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

321 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

521 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
522 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
523 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
524 past week. Thanks, guys!
526 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
527 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
528 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
529 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
530 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
531 would do in the same situation.
532 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
533 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
535 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
537 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
539 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
540 some people enjoy changing root's name.
541 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
542 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
543 files are treated identically.
544 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
545 * Minor man page fixes.
546 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
547 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
548 --no-act is on. (#23054)

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

1036 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
1037 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
1038 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
1039 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
1040 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
1041 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

1093 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
1094 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
1095 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
1096 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

1100 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
1102 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
1103 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
1104 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
1105 multiple binary packages.
1106 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
1107 should rebuild them with this version.
1108 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

1126 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
1128 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
1129 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
1130 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
1131 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
1132 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
1133 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
1134 debian/README.debian.
1135 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
1136 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
1137 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
1138 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
1139 in a few situations.)

1170 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
1172 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
1173 is ready for general use.
1174 * Added man pages for all commands.
1175 * Multiple binary package support.
1176 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
1177 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
1178 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
1180 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
1181 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
1182 auto-installed as parameters.
1183 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
1185 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
1188 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
1189 the package build directory it is to act on.
1190 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
1191 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
1192 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
