138 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
139 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
141 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
142 that uses them. Affected options are:
143 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
144 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
145 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
146 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
147 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
148 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
149 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
150 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
151 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
152 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
153 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
154 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

266 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
267 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded

324 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
325 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
326 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting

704 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
705 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
706 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the

833 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference

837 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
838 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
839 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
840 specific python version. Closes: #373853
841 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
842 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
844 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
845 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
846 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
847 the not too-distant future).

1015 * Update pot file and french translation with recent changes in
1016 the dh_installdebconf manpage

1028 * dh_installdebconf: drop all support for old-style translated debconf
1029 templates files via debconf-mergetemplate (keep a warning if any are

1066 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
1067 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
1068 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
1069 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
1070 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
1071 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
1072 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

1101 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
1102 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
1103 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1104 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
1105 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
1106 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
1107 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

1222 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
1223 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1224 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1225 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1226 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2548 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2549 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2550 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2551 dh_install, which ...
2552 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2553 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2554 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2555 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2556 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2557 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2558 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2559 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2560 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2561 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2562 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2563 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2564 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2565 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2566 other minor changes.
2567 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2568 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2569 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2570 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2571 course there's -X ..)
2572 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2573 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2574 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2576 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2577 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2578 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2579 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2580 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2625 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2627 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

2655 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2657 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2658 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2659 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2660 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2661 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2662 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2663 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2664 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2665 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2666 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2667 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2668 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2669 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2670 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2671 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2672 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2674 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2707 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2709 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2710 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2711 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2712 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2713 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2714 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2715 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2716 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2717 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3054 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

3074 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3075 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3076 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3077 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3078 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3079 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3080 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3081 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
3082 Closes: #88464, #77743

3084 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants

3135 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3137 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3138 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3139 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3140 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3141 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3142 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3143 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3144 but is mildly deprecated.
3145 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3146 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3147 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3148 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3149 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3150 switching to statoverrides..
3151 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3152 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3153 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3154 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3155 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3156 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3158 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3159 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3160 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3161 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3162 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3163 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3164 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3165 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3166 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3168 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3169 variable names, pod man pages).
3170 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3171 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3172 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3173 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3174 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3175 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3176 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3248 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3249 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3251 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3252 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

3342 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3343 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3344 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3345 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3347 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3348 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3349 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3351 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3353 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3354 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3355 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3592 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3593 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3594 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3595 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3596 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3597 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3598 notice until v2 is complete.
3599 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3600 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3601 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3602 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3603 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3604 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3606 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3607 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3608 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3733 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3820 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3821 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3822 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3823 bits until all files have been registered.

3962 I made some changes, though:
3963 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3964 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3965 that is a clear violation of policy.
3966 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3967 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3968 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3969 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3970 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3971 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3972 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3973 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3974 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3976 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4017 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
4018 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4019 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4020 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4021 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4022 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4023 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
4024 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

4140 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4141 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4142 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4143 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4144 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4145 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4146 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4147 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4148 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4149 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4150 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4151 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4158 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4159 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4161 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4162 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4163 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4164 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4165 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4166 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5070 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.

5081 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5082 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5083 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5084 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5098 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5099 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5100 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5101 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5102 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5103 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5104 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5105 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5141 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5142 sections of shared libraries.
5143 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5144 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5145 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5146 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5147 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5148 things you don't want them to.

5211 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5212 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5213 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5287 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5288 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5289 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5505 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5506 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5507 use -X multiple times, too.
5508 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5509 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5821 a given package, or -i or -a.

5823 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6041 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6042 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6043 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6044 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6045 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6049 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6051 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6052 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6053 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6054 multiple binary packages.
6055 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6056 should rebuild them with this version.
6057 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6075 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6077 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6078 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6079 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6080 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6081 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6082 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6083 debian/README.debian.
6084 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6085 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6086 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6087 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6088 in a few situations.)

6094 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

6119 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6121 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6122 is ready for general use.
6123 * Added man pages for all commands.
6124 * Multiple binary package support.
6125 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6126 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6127 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6129 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6130 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6131 auto-installed as parameters.
6132 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6134 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6137 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6138 the package build directory it is to act on.
6139 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6140 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6141 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
