10 * dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933
11 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
12 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
13 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
14 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
15 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
16 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
17 logging by dh_listpackages.

53 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
54 planned but not yet implemented.)

58 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

60 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
61 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned

64 recommended default, especially when using dh.

66 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

521 * Non-maintainer upload.
522 * Update of dh_python
523 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
524 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
525 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
526 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
527 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
528 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
529 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
530 specific python version. Closes: #373853
531 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
532 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
534 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
535 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
536 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
537 the not too-distant future).
538 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
539 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
540 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
541 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

2238 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2239 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2240 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2241 dh_install, which ...
2242 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2243 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2244 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2245 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2246 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2247 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2248 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2249 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2250 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2251 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2252 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2253 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2254 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2255 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2256 other minor changes.
2257 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2258 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2259 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2260 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2261 course there's -X ..)
2262 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2263 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2264 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2266 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2267 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2268 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2269 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2270 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2314 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2315 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2316 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2317 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2318 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2345 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2347 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2348 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2349 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2350 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2351 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2352 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2353 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2354 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2355 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2356 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2357 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2358 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2359 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2360 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2361 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2362 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2364 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2381 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2382 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2383 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2384 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2385 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
2386 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

2399 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2400 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2401 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2402 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2403 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2404 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2405 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2406 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2407 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2583 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2584 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2585 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2586 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2587 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2588 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2589 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2590 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2591 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2592 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2593 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2594 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2595 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2617 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2618 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2619 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2620 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2621 program those options go to. So, for example,
2622 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2767 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2768 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2769 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2770 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2827 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2828 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2829 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2830 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2831 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2832 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2833 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2834 but is mildly deprecated.
2835 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2836 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2837 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2838 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2839 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2840 switching to statoverrides..
2841 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2842 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2843 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2844 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2845 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2846 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2848 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2849 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2850 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2851 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2852 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2853 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2854 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2855 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2856 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2858 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2859 variable names, pod man pages).
2860 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2861 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2862 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2863 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2864 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2865 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2866 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3019 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
3020 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
3021 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
3022 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
3023 backwards-compatability.

3027 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3029 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3030 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3031 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3032 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3033 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3034 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3035 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3037 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3038 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3039 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3041 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3043 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3044 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3045 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3046 should now be raised to severity important..
3047 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3048 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3088 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3089 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3090 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3091 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3106 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3107 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3282 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3283 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3284 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3285 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3286 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3287 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3288 notice until v2 is complete.
3289 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3290 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3291 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3292 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3293 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3294 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3296 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3297 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3298 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3511 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3529 otherwise change the result at all.
3531 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3532 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3533 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3534 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
3535 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

3548 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
3549 act on files that don't exist.
3550 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3551 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3552 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3554 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3555 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3556 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3557 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3575 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
3576 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

3580 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
3582 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
3583 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
3585 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
3586 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
3587 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

3591 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low
3593 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3594 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3595 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3596 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
3597 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
3598 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
3599 does not compress. Closes: #41733
3600 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
3602 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.

3649 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
3650 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3651 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3652 I made some changes, though:
3653 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3654 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3655 that is a clear violation of policy.
3656 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3657 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3658 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3659 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3660 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3661 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3662 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3663 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3664 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3666 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3685 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3686 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
3687 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

3707 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
3708 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3709 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3710 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3711 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3712 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3713 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3714 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3829 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3830 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3831 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3832 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3833 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3834 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3835 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3836 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3837 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3838 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3839 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3840 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3841 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3847 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3848 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3849 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3851 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3852 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3853 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3854 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3855 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3856 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3858 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3859 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4051 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a

4179 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4180 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4579 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4580 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4583 suidregister actually supports it.

4792 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4793 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4794 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5024 * New unstable branch of debhelper.
5026 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
5027 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
5028 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
5029 updating 27 man pages.
5030 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
5031 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
5032 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
5033 * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
5034 programs act on. (#25247)

5042 * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
5043 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
5044 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
5045 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
5046 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
5047 bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go

5160 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5161 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5162 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5163 past week. Thanks, guys!
5165 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5166 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5167 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5168 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5169 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5170 would do in the same situation.
5171 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5172 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5174 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5176 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5177 permissions changed.
5178 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5179 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5180 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5181 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5182 files are treated identically.
5183 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5184 * Minor man page fixes.
5185 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5186 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5187 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5193 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
5194 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5195 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5196 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5197 use -X multiple times, too.
5198 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5199 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5220 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
5221 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
5222 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
5223 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5224 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5225 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
5226 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
5227 shape if you're starting a new package.

5255 * dh_movefiles: first move real files, then move symlinks. (#18220)
5256 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
5257 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
5258 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
5259 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

5326 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
5327 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
5328 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
5329 no packages use the old behavior.

5517 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5518 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5519 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5520 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

5523 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5524 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5546 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5547 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5548 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

5596 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5597 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5598 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5599 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5600 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5601 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5679 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5680 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5770 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5771 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5772 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5773 debian/README.debian.
5774 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5775 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5776 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5777 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5778 in a few situations.)

5827 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5828 the package build directory it is to act on.
5829 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5830 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5831 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
