297 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
298 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
300 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
301 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
302 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
303 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
304 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537

319 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
320 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
321 script and then remove the python files.
322 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
323 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
324 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
325 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
326 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
327 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
328 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
329 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
330 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
331 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

455 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
456 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
457 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
458 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
459 specific python version. Closes: #373853
460 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
461 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
463 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
464 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
465 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
466 the not too-distant future).
467 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.

2167 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2168 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2169 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2170 dh_install, which ...
2171 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2172 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2173 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2174 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2175 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2176 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2177 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2178 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2179 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2180 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2181 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2182 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2183 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2184 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2185 other minor changes.
2186 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2187 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2188 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2189 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2190 course there's -X ..)
2191 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2192 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2193 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2195 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2196 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2197 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2198 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2199 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2246 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2247 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2274 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2276 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2277 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2278 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2279 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2280 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2281 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2282 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2283 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2284 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2285 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2286 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2287 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2288 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2289 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2290 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2291 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2293 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2311 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2312 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2313 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

2328 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2329 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2330 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2331 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2332 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2333 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2334 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2335 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2336 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2544 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2545 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2546 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2547 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2548 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2549 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2550 program those options go to. So, for example,
2551 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2552 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2553 something complex. Closes: #89311

2694 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2695 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2696 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2697 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2698 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2699 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2700 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2754 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2756 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2757 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2758 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2759 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2760 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2761 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2762 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2763 but is mildly deprecated.
2764 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2765 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2766 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2767 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2768 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2769 switching to statoverrides..
2770 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2771 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2772 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2773 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2774 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2775 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2777 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2778 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2779 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2780 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2781 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2782 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2783 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2784 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2785 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2787 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2788 variable names, pod man pages).
2789 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2790 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2791 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2792 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2793 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2794 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2795 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2867 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2868 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2961 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2963 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2964 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2966 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2967 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2968 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3017 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3018 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3019 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3020 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3032 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3033 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3034 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3035 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3036 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3037 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3211 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3212 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3213 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3214 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3215 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3216 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3217 notice until v2 is complete.
3218 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3219 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3220 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3221 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3222 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3223 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3225 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3226 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3227 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3228 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3352 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3440 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3580 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3581 I made some changes, though:
3582 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3583 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3584 that is a clear violation of policy.
3585 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3586 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3587 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3588 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3589 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3590 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3591 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3592 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3593 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3595 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3763 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3764 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3765 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3766 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3767 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3768 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3769 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

4029 * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes.
4030 * README: mention doc/v2
4031 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT
4032 * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files

4036 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
4038 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
4039 be using this script RSN.

4043 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
4045 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
4046 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4047 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
4048 more than 1 init script.

4052 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
4054 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
4055 failing if it was given absolute filenames.
4057 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700
4059 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
4061 * Changed perl version detection.
4062 * Changed call to find.

4066 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
4068 * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. dh_perl handles
4069 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying

4078 * Really include dh_installpam.

4082 debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low
4084 * dh_installpam: new program by Sean <shaleh@foo.livenet.net>
4085 * Wrote man page for same.

4089 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
4091 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4092 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4093 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4098 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
4100 * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.

4105 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
4107 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
4108 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4109 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
4110 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the
4111 x bit was being set!

4115 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
4117 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
4118 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
4119 well. (Closes: 38900)

4123 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
4125 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
4126 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
4127 work on the man page (closes: #38898).

4137 debhelper (1.2.70) unstable; urgency=low
4139 * dh_installmanpages: Properly quoted metacharacters in $dir in regexp.

4144 debhelper (1.2.69) unstable; urgency=low
4146 * Don't include Test.pm in the binary package.

4150 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
4152 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
4153 help from Julian Gilbey.
4154 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
4155 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
4156 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
4157 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
4158 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
4159 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
4160 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root

4171 debhelper (1.2.66) unstable; urgency=low

4190 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low
4192 * dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above. It
4193 actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now.

4197 debhelper (1.2.62) unstable; urgency=low
4199 * dh_installemacsen: added support for site-start files. Added --flavor
4200 and --number to control details of installation. (#36832)

4204 debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low
4206 * dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has
4207 somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45.
4209 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 26 Apr 1999 19:54:04 -0700
4211 debhelper (1.2.60) unstable; urgency=low
4213 * dh_installexamples.1: recycled docs fix.

4217 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low
4219 * dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where
4220 to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course.

4224 debhelper (1.2.58) unstable; urgency=low
4226 * autoscripts/postinst-suid: use /#FILE# in elif test (#36297).

4230 debhelper (1.2.57) unstable; urgency=low
4232 * examples/*: killed trailing spaces after diff: target

4236 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low
4238 * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually
4239 exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and
4240 may be deleted. (#35845)
4242 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 10 Apr 1999 13:35:23 -0700
4244 debhelper (1.2.55) unstable; urgency=low
4246 * Various man page enhancements.

4252 debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low
4254 * dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160).
4255 * *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when
4256 debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page.

4260 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
4262 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
4263 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
4264 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
4265 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and
4267 * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new
4268 suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress

4273 debhelper (1.2.52) unstable; urgency=low
4275 * dh_installmodules: new program, closes #32546.

4279 debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low
4281 * Another very minor typo fix.

4285 debhelper (1.2.50) unstable; urgency=low
4287 * Very minor typo fix.

4291 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low
4293 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of
4294 even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and
4295 modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102)

4299 debhelper (1.2.48) unstable; urgency=low
4301 * dh_fixperms.1: improved documentation. (#34968)

4305 debhelper (1.2.47) unstable; urgency=low
4307 * doc/README: updated the example of including debhelper shell script
4308 fragments inside a perl program -- the old method didn't work with shell
4309 variables properly (#34850).

4313 debhelper (1.2.46) unstable; urgency=low
4315 * doc/README: pointer to maint-guide.

4319 debhelper (1.2.45) unstable; urgency=low
4321 * dh_installwm.1: fixed two errors (#34534, #34535)
4322 * debhelper.1: list all other debhelper commands with synopses
4323 (automatically generated by build process).
4325 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 14 Mar 1999 11:33:39 -0800
4327 debhelper (1.2.44) unstable; urgency=medium
4329 * dh_fixperms: has been mostly broken when used with -X, corrected this.
4331 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 13 Mar 1999 17:25:59 -0800
4333 debhelper (1.2.43) unstable; urgency=low
4335 * dh_compress.1: man page fixes (Closes: #33858).
4336 * dh_compress: now it can handle compressing arbitrary numbers of files,
4337 spawning gzip multiple times like xargs does, if necessary.
4339 * Dh_Lib.pm: added xargs() command.

4343 debhelper (1.2.42) unstable; urgency=low
4345 * dh_m5sums: don't generate bogus md5sums file if the package contains no
4346 files. Yes, someone found a legitimate reason to do that.

4356 debhelper (1.2.40) unstable; urgency=low

4359 leave it at that. :-)

4375 debhelper (1.2.37) unstable; urgency=low
4377 * dh_installdocs: Patch from Jim Pick <jim@jimpick.com>, fixes regexp error (Closes: #33431).
4378 * dh_installxaw: new program by Daniel Martin
4379 <Daniel.Martin@jhu.edu>, handles xaw-wrappers integration.
4380 * dh_installxaw.1: wrote man page.
4382 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 18 Feb 1999 17:32:53 -0800
4384 debhelper (1.2.36) unstable; urgency=low
4386 * dh_compress.1: Fixed typo in man page. (Closes: #33364)
4387 * autoscripts/postinst-menu-method: fixed typo. (Closes: #33376)

4391 debhelper (1.2.35) unstable; urgency=low
4393 * Dh_Lib.pm filearray(): Deal with multiple spaces and spaces at the
4394 beginning of lines in files. (closes: #33161)

4398 debhelper (1.2.34) unstable; urgency=low
4400 * dh_clean: added -d flag (also --dirs-only) that will make it clean only
4401 tmp dirs. (closes: #30807)
4402 * dh_installdocs: to support packages that need multiple doc-base files,
4403 will now look for debian/<package>.doc-base.<doc-id>.
4404 * dh_compress: removed warning message (harmless).

4408 debhelper (1.2.33) unstable; urgency=low
4410 * dh_compress: verbose_print() cd's.
4411 * dh_compress: clear the hash of hard links when we loop - was making
4412 dh_compress fail on multi-binary packages that had harlinks. Thanks to
4413 Craig Small for spotting this.

4417 debhelper (1.2.32) unstable; urgency=low
4419 * dh_suidmanager: if it cannot determine the user name or group name from
4420 the uid or gid, it will pass the uid or gid to suidmanager. This should
4421 probably never happen, but it's good to be safe.

4434 from 3 to 1, no change in functionality.

4438 debhelper (1.2.29) unstable; urgency=high
4440 * Do not include bogus chsh, chfn, passwd links in debhelper binary!
4441 These were acidentially left in after dh_link testing I did as I was
4442 working on the last version of debhelper.

4449 being made. (#23255)

4466 debhelper (1.2.25) unstable; urgency=low
4468 * autoscripts/*menu*: It turns out that "command" is like test -w, it will
4469 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
4470 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
4471 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages
4472 built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt.

4476 debhelper (1.2.24) unstable; urgency=low
4478 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4479 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4480 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4481 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.
4482 Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the

4485 did not clear suid permissions on files that were already owned by root.

4504 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
4506 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4507 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4508 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4509 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4510 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4511 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4512 suidregister actually supports it.
4513 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4514 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4525 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
4527 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4528 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4529 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4530 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4531 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4532 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4533 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4534 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4719 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4720 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4721 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4722 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4723 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4724 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4764 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

5089 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5090 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5091 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5092 past week. Thanks, guys!
5094 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5095 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5096 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5097 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5098 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5099 would do in the same situation.
5100 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5101 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5103 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5105 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5106 permissions changed.
5107 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5108 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5109 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5110 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5111 files are treated identically.
5112 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5113 * Minor man page fixes.
5114 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5125 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5126 use -X multiple times, too.
5127 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5128 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5524 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5525 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5526 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5527 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5528 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5529 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5530 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5550 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
5551 the dh_* programs (#15497).

5605 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5606 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5607 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5608 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5609 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5670 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5671 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5672 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5673 multiple binary packages.
5674 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5675 should rebuild them with this version.
5676 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5694 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5696 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5697 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5698 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5699 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5700 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5701 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5702 debian/README.debian.
5703 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5704 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5705 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5706 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5707 in a few situations.)

5740 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5741 is ready for general use.
5742 * Added man pages for all commands.
5743 * Multiple binary package support.
5744 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5745 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5746 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5748 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5749 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5750 auto-installed as parameters.
5751 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5753 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5756 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5757 the package build directory it is to act on.
5758 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5759 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5760 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
