281 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
283 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
284 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

305 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
306 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
307 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
308 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
309 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
310 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
311 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
312 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
313 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
314 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

435 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
436 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

441 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
442 specific python version. Closes: #373853
443 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
444 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
446 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
447 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
448 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
449 the not too-distant future).

828 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2148 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2150 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2151 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2152 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2153 dh_install, which ...
2154 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2155 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2156 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2157 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2158 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2159 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2160 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2161 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2162 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2163 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2164 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2165 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2166 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2167 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2168 other minor changes.
2169 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2170 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2171 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2172 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2173 course there's -X ..)
2174 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2175 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2176 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2178 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2179 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2180 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2181 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2182 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2226 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2227 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2228 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2229 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2230 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
2232 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

2257 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2259 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2260 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2261 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2262 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2263 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2264 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2265 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2266 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2267 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2268 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2269 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2270 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2271 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2272 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2273 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2274 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2276 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2290 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
2292 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2293 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2294 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2295 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2296 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2297 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2311 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2312 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2313 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2314 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2315 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2316 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2317 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2318 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2319 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2530 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2531 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2532 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2533 program those options go to. So, for example,
2534 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2535 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2536 something complex. Closes: #89311
2537 * Made escape_shell output a lot better.

2678 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2679 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2680 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2681 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2682 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2739 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2740 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2741 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2742 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2743 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2745 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2746 but is mildly deprecated.
2747 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2748 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2749 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2750 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2751 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2752 switching to statoverrides..
2753 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2754 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2755 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2756 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2757 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2758 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2760 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2761 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2762 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2763 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2764 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2765 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2766 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2767 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2768 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2770 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2771 variable names, pod man pages).
2772 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2773 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2774 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2775 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2776 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2777 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2778 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2944 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2946 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2947 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2949 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2950 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2951 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3017 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3018 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3019 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3020 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3194 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3195 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3196 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3197 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3198 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3199 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3200 notice until v2 is complete.
3201 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3202 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3203 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3204 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3205 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3206 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3208 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3209 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3210 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3423 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3562 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3563 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3564 I made some changes, though:
3565 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3566 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3567 that is a clear violation of policy.
3568 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3569 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3570 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3571 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3572 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3573 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3574 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3575 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3576 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3578 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3597 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,

3620 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

3622 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3623 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3624 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3742 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3743 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3744 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3745 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3746 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3747 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3748 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3749 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3750 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3751 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3752 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3753 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3760 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3761 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3763 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3764 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3765 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3766 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3767 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3768 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4031 more than 1 init script.

4544 * dh_installdocs: behavior change: all docs are now installed mode 644.
4545 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4546 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4547 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
4548 effect, either. (#30118)

4560 * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that
4561 dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can
4562 also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps.

4574 * examples/*: moved dh_makeshlibs call to before dh_installdeb call.
4575 (#29762). This is just so if you replace dh_makeshlibs with something
4576 that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly.

4672 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4673 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4674 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4675 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
4676 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

4680 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
4682 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4683 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4684 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4685 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4686 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4697 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
4699 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4700 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4701 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4702 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4703 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4704 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4705 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4706 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4707 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4720 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
4721 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

4741 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
4743 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4744 sections of shared libraries.
4745 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4746 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4747 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4748 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4749 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4750 things you don't want them to.
4751 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4752 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4765 * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
4766 installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.

4768 debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed.

4778 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
4779 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4780 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4781 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
4782 the program to not fail. (#26214)

4811 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4812 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4813 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4814 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4815 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4816 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4818 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4819 remove debian/files properly.
4820 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4821 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4822 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4837 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
4838 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
4839 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4840 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4842 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4871 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4872 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4874 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

4883 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4884 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4885 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4886 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4887 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4888 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4889 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4890 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4891 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4892 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4893 passed any switches.

5072 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5073 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5074 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5075 past week. Thanks, guys!
5077 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5078 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5079 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5080 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5081 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5082 would do in the same situation.
5083 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5084 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5086 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5088 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5089 permissions changed.
5090 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5091 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5092 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5093 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5094 files are treated identically.
5095 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5096 * Minor man page fixes.
5097 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5099 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5108 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5109 use -X multiple times, too.
5110 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5111 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5589 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5590 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5591 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5592 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5653 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5654 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5655 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5656 multiple binary packages.
5657 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5658 should rebuild them with this version.
5659 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5677 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5679 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5680 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5681 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5682 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5683 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5684 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5685 debian/README.debian.
5686 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5687 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5688 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5689 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5690 in a few situations.)

5726 * Multiple binary package support.
5727 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,

5729 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5731 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5732 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5733 auto-installed as parameters.
5734 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5736 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5739 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5740 the package build directory it is to act on.
5741 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5742 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5743 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
