93 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
94 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
95 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
96 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
97 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

128 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
129 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
130 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980

247 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
248 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5

250 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
251 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1573 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1574 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1575 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1576 dh_install, which ...
1577 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1578 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1579 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1580 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1581 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1582 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1583 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1584 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1585 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1586 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1587 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1588 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1589 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1590 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1591 other minor changes.
1592 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1593 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1594 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1595 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1596 course there's -X ..)
1597 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1598 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1599 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1601 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1602 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1603 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1604 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1605 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1650 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1652 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1680 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1682 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1683 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1684 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1685 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1686 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1687 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1688 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1689 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1690 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1691 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1692 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1693 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1694 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1695 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1696 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1697 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1699 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1734 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1735 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1736 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1737 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1738 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1739 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1740 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1741 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2079 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
2080 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which

2099 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2100 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2101 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2102 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2103 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2104 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2105 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2106 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2160 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2162 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2163 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2164 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2165 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2166 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2167 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2168 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2169 but is mildly deprecated.
2170 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2171 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2172 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2173 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2174 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2175 switching to statoverrides..
2176 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2177 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2178 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2179 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2180 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2181 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2183 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2184 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2185 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2186 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2187 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2188 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2189 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2190 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2191 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2193 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2194 variable names, pod man pages).
2195 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2196 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2197 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2198 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2199 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2200 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2201 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2273 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2274 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2276 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2277 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

2367 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2368 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2369 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2370 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2372 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2373 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2374 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2376 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2378 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2379 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2380 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2617 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2618 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2619 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2620 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2621 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2622 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2623 notice until v2 is complete.
2624 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2625 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2626 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2627 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2628 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2629 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2631 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2632 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2633 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2845 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2846 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2847 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2848 bits until all files have been registered.

2987 I made some changes, though:
2988 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2989 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2990 that is a clear violation of policy.
2991 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2992 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2993 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2994 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2995 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2996 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2997 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2998 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2999 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3001 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3165 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3166 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3167 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3168 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3169 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3170 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3171 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3172 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3173 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3174 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3175 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3176 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3186 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3188 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3189 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3190 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3191 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3884 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3885 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4095 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.

4106 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4107 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4108 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4109 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4122 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4123 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4124 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4125 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4126 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4127 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4128 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4129 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4130 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4169 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4170 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4171 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4172 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4173 things you don't want them to.

4236 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4237 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4238 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4313 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4314 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4504 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4505 would do in the same situation.

4845 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4846 a given package, or -i or -a.
4847 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4848 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5064 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low

5067 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5068 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

5074 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5076 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5077 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5078 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5079 multiple binary packages.
5080 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5081 should rebuild them with this version.
5082 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5086 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low

5093 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

5100 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5102 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5103 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5104 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5105 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5106 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5107 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5108 debian/README.debian.
5109 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5110 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5111 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5112 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5113 in a few situations.)

5117 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5119 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

5123 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5136 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5138 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
5139 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
5140 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

5144 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5146 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5147 is ready for general use.
5148 * Added man pages for all commands.
5149 * Multiple binary package support.
5150 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5151 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5152 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5154 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5155 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5156 auto-installed as parameters.
5157 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5159 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5162 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5163 the package build directory it is to act on.
5164 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5165 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5166 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
