1056 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
1057 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
1058 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

1203 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1204 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1205 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1206 dh_install, which ...
1207 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1208 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1209 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1210 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1211 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1212 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1213 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1214 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1215 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1216 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1217 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1218 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1219 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1220 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1221 other minor changes.
1222 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1223 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1224 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1225 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1226 course there's -X ..)
1227 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1228 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1229 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1231 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1232 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1233 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1234 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1235 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1279 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1280 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1281 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1282 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1283 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1310 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1312 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1313 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1314 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1315 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1316 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1317 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1318 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1319 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1320 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1321 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1322 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1323 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1324 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1325 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1326 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1327 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1329 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1343 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
1345 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
1346 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1347 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1348 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1349 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1350 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
1351 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

1362 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1364 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1365 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1366 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1367 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1368 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1369 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1370 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1371 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1372 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1546 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1548 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1549 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1550 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1551 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1552 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1553 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1554 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1555 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1556 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1557 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1558 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1559 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1560 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1580 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1581 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1582 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1583 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1584 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1585 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1586 program those options go to. So, for example,
1587 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1588 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1729 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1730 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1731 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1732 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1733 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1734 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1735 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1736 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1790 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1792 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1793 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1794 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1795 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1796 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1797 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1798 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1799 but is mildly deprecated.
1800 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1801 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1802 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1803 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1804 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1805 switching to statoverrides..
1806 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1807 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1808 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1809 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1810 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1811 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1813 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1814 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1815 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1816 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1817 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1818 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1819 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1820 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1821 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1823 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1824 variable names, pod man pages).
1825 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1826 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1827 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1828 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1829 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1830 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1831 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2247 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2248 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2249 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2250 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2251 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2252 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2253 notice until v2 is complete.
2254 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2255 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2256 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2257 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2258 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2259 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2261 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2262 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2263 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2476 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2559 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This

2561 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

2616 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2617 I made some changes, though:
2618 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2619 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2620 that is a clear violation of policy.
2621 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2622 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2623 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2624 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2625 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2626 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2627 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2628 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2629 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2631 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2798 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2799 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2800 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2801 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2802 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2803 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2804 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2805 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3144 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3145 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3566 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3567 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3568 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3569 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and

3755 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3756 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3757 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3758 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3759 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3760 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4127 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4128 past week. Thanks, guys!
4130 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4131 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4132 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4133 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4134 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4135 would do in the same situation.
4136 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4137 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4139 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4141 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4142 permissions changed.
4143 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4144 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4145 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4146 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4147 files are treated identically.
4148 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4162 use -X multiple times, too.

4529 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
4530 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

4539 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

4560 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4561 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4562 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4563 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4564 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4565 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4566 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4735 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4736 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4737 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4738 debian/README.debian.
4739 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4740 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4741 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4742 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4743 in a few situations.)

4789 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4792 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4793 the package build directory it is to act on.
4794 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4795 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4796 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
