16 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
17 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
18 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
19 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
20 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
21 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
22 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
23 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
24 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
25 it is an obsolete program.

112 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
113 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
114 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
115 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
116 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
118 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
119 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
120 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
122 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
124 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
125 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
126 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
127 should now be raised to severity important..

363 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
364 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
365 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
366 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
367 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
368 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
369 notice until v2 is complete.
370 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
371 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
372 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
373 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
374 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
375 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

588 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
589 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
590 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
591 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
592 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
593 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
594 bits until all files have been registered.

603 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
604 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
605 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
606 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
607 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
608 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
609 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
610 otherwise change the result at all.
612 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
613 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
614 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
615 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

633 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
635 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
636 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
637 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
638 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

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

731 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
732 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
733 I made some changes, though:
734 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
735 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
736 that is a clear violation of policy.
737 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
738 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
739 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
740 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
741 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
742 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
743 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
744 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
745 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
747 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

791 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
792 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
793 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
794 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

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

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

1085 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
1086 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
1087 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

1095 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
1096 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

1151 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

1164 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
1165 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
1166 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
1167 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
1168 * debhelper.1: documented this.
1169 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
1170 current compatability level is equal to that number.

1198 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
1199 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
1200 more than 1 init script.

1243 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
1244 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
1245 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

1259 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
1260 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
1261 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

1305 help from Julian Gilbey.

1307 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
1308 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
1309 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

1311 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

1415 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

1873 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
1874 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
1875 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
1876 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

2058 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
2059 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
2060 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
2061 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
2062 passed any switches.

2242 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
2243 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
2244 past week. Thanks, guys!
2246 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
2247 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
2248 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
2249 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
2250 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
2251 would do in the same situation.
2252 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
2253 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
2255 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
2257 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
2258 permissions changed.
2259 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
2260 some people enjoy changing root's name.
2261 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
2262 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
2263 files are treated identically.
2264 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
2265 * Minor man page fixes.
2266 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

2276 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
2277 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
2278 use -X multiple times, too.
2279 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
2280 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

2553 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
2554 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
2555 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
2556 are supported. (#16935)
2557 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

2591 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
2592 a given package, or -i or -a.
2593 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
2594 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

2679 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
