1169 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1170 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1171 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1172 dh_install, which ...
1173 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1174 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1175 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1176 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1177 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1178 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1179 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1180 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1181 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1182 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1183 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1184 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1185 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1186 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1187 other minor changes.
1188 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1189 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1190 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1191 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1192 course there's -X ..)
1193 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1194 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1195 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1197 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1198 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1199 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1200 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1201 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1276 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1278 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1279 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1280 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1281 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1282 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1283 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1284 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1285 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1286 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1287 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1288 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1289 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1290 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1291 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1292 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1293 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1295 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1330 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1331 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1332 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1333 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1334 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1335 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1336 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1337 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1338 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1546 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1547 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1548 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1549 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1550 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1551 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1552 program those options go to. So, for example,
1553 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1554 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1555 something complex. Closes: #89311

1696 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1697 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1698 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1699 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1700 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1701 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1758 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1759 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1760 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1761 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1762 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1763 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1764 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1765 but is mildly deprecated.
1766 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1767 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1768 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1769 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1770 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1771 switching to statoverrides..
1772 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1773 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1774 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1775 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1776 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1777 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1779 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1780 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1781 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1782 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1783 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1784 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1785 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1786 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1787 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1789 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1790 variable names, pod man pages).
1791 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1792 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1793 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1794 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1795 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1796 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1797 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1963 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1968 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1969 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1970 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2034 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2035 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2036 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2037 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2038 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2039 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2213 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2214 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2215 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2216 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2217 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2218 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2219 notice until v2 is complete.
2220 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2221 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2222 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2223 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2224 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2225 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2227 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2228 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2229 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2230 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2351 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2352 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2354 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2355 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2356 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2357 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2358 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2441 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2442 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2443 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2444 bits until all files have been registered.

2454 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2455 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2456 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2457 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2458 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2459 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2460 otherwise change the result at all.
2462 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2463 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2581 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
2582 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2583 I made some changes, though:
2584 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2585 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2586 that is a clear violation of policy.
2587 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2588 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2589 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2590 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2591 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2592 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2593 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2594 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2595 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2597 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2762 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2763 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2764 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2765 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2766 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2767 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2768 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2769 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2770 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2771 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2772 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2782 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2783 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2784 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2785 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2786 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2787 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3723 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3724 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3725 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4091 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4092 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4093 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4094 past week. Thanks, guys!
4096 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4097 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4098 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4099 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4100 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4101 would do in the same situation.
4102 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4103 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4105 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4107 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4108 permissions changed.
4109 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4110 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4111 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4112 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4113 files are treated identically.
4114 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4116 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4127 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4128 use -X multiple times, too.

4529 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4530 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4531 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4532 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4607 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4608 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4609 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4610 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4611 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4672 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4673 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4674 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4675 multiple binary packages.
4676 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4677 should rebuild them with this version.

4698 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4699 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4700 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4701 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4702 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4703 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4704 debian/README.debian.
4705 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4706 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4707 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4708 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4709 in a few situations.)

4745 * Multiple binary package support.
4746 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4747 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4748 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4750 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4751 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4752 auto-installed as parameters.
4753 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4755 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4758 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4759 the package build directory it is to act on.
4760 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4761 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4762 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
