1127 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1128 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1129 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1130 dh_install, which ...
1131 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1132 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1133 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1134 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1135 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1136 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1137 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1138 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1139 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1140 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1141 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1142 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1143 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1144 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1145 other minor changes.
1146 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1147 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1148 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1149 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1150 course there's -X ..)
1151 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1152 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1153 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1155 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1156 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1157 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1158 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1159 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1203 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1204 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1206 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1207 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1234 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1236 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1237 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1238 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1239 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1240 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1241 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1242 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1243 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1244 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1245 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1246 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1247 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1248 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1249 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1250 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1251 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1253 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1288 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1289 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1290 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1291 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1292 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1293 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1294 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1295 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1296 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1544 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
1545 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings

1654 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1655 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1656 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1657 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1658 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1659 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1714 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1716 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1717 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1718 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1719 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1720 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1721 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1722 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1723 but is mildly deprecated.
1724 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1725 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1726 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1727 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1728 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1729 switching to statoverrides..
1730 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1731 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1732 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1733 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1734 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1735 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1737 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1738 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1739 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1740 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1741 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1742 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1743 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1744 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1745 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1747 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1748 variable names, pod man pages).
1749 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1750 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1751 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1752 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1753 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1754 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1755 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1827 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1828 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1830 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

1921 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1927 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1928 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1933 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1934 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2171 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2172 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2173 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2174 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2175 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2176 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2177 notice until v2 is complete.
2178 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2179 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2180 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2181 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2182 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2183 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2185 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2186 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2187 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2188 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2310 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2312 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2314 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2315 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2399 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2400 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2401 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2402 bits until all files have been registered.

2412 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2413 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2414 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2420 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects

2542 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2543 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2544 that is a clear violation of policy.
2545 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2546 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2547 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2548 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2549 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2550 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2551 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2552 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2553 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories

2722 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2723 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2724 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2725 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2726 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2727 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2728 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2729 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2730 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3679 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3680 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3681 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3682 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3683 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3684 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3724 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3725 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3726 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

4047 debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
4049 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4050 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4051 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4052 past week. Thanks, guys!
4054 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4055 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4056 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4057 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4058 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4059 would do in the same situation.
4060 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4061 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4063 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4065 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4066 permissions changed.
4067 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4068 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4069 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4070 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4071 files are treated identically.
4072 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4073 * Minor man page fixes.
4074 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4075 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4076 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4080 debhelper (0.88) unstable; urgency=low
4082 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4083 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4084 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4085 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4086 use -X multiple times, too.
4087 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4088 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4094 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping
4095 elf binaries. This makes for smaller output files. This has always been

4107 debhelper (0.85) unstable; urgency=low
4109 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
4110 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4111 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4112 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4113 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4114 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
4115 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
4116 shape if you're starting a new package.

4144 * dh_movefiles: first move real files, then move symlinks. (#18220)
4145 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4146 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4147 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4148 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
4150 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

4214 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
4215 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4216 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4217 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4218 no packages use the old behavior.

4360 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
4361 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4362 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4363 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4364 are supported. (#16935)

4379 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
4381 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
4382 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4383 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4384 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4385 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
4386 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

4390 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4392 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4393 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4394 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4396 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4397 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4398 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4399 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4400 a given package, or -i or -a.
4401 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4402 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4403 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4404 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4405 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4406 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4407 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4408 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4409 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4411 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4412 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

4486 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4487 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4488 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

4564 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
4565 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4566 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4567 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4568 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4569 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4621 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.

4630 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4631 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4632 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4633 multiple binary packages.
4634 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4635 should rebuild them with this version.
4636 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4654 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4656 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4657 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4658 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4659 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4660 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4661 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4662 debian/README.debian.
4663 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4664 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4665 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4666 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4667 in a few situations.)

4701 is ready for general use.
4702 * Added man pages for all commands.
4703 * Multiple binary package support.
4704 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4705 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4706 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4708 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4709 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4710 auto-installed as parameters.
4711 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4713 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4716 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4717 the package build directory it is to act on.
4718 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4719 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4720 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
