11 to Josselin Mouette, Ross Burton, Jordi Mallach, and Loïc Minier.

14 existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is
15 updating the icon caches, this will be changed. See #329460 for the full

69 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
70 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
72 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
73 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
74 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
75 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
76 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
77 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
78 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
79 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
80 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

89 package install. Closes: #415717
90 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
91 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
92 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
93 script and then remove the python files.
94 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
95 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
96 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
97 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
98 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
99 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
100 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
101 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
102 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
103 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
104 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250

223 * Update of dh_python
224 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
225 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
226 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
227 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
228 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
229 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
230 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
231 specific python version. Closes: #373853
232 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
233 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
235 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
236 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
237 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
238 the not too-distant future).
239 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
240 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

617 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1939 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1940 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1941 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1942 dh_install, which ...
1943 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1944 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1945 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1946 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1947 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1948 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1949 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1950 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1951 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1952 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1953 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1954 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1955 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1956 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1957 other minor changes.
1958 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1959 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1960 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1961 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1962 course there's -X ..)
1963 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1964 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1965 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1967 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1968 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1969 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1970 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

2050 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2051 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2052 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2053 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2054 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2055 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2056 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2057 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2058 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2059 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2060 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2061 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2062 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2063 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2065 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2100 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2101 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2102 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2103 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2104 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2105 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2106 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2107 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2108 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2292 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2293 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2294 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2534 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2535 but is mildly deprecated.
2536 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2537 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2538 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2539 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2540 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2541 switching to statoverrides..
2542 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2543 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2544 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2545 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2546 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2547 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2549 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2550 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2551 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2552 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2553 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2554 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2555 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2556 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2557 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2559 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2560 variable names, pod man pages).
2561 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2562 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2563 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2564 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2565 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2566 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2567 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2637 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2638 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2639 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2640 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2641 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2642 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2643 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2644 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

2730 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2731 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2732 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2733 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2734 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2735 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2736 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2738 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2739 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2740 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2742 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2744 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2745 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2746 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2747 should now be raised to severity important..
2748 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2749 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2790 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2791 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2983 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2984 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2985 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2986 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2987 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2988 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2989 notice until v2 is complete.
2990 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2991 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2992 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2993 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2994 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2995 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2997 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3125 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3126 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3127 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3128 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3210 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3211 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3212 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3213 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3214 bits until all files have been registered.

3225 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3226 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3228 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3229 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3230 otherwise change the result at all.
3232 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3233 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3255 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to

3353 I made some changes, though:
3354 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3355 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3356 that is a clear violation of policy.
3357 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3358 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3359 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3360 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3361 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3362 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3363 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3364 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3365 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3367 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3536 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3537 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3538 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make

3541 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3542 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3548 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3549 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3550 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3552 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3553 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3554 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3555 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3556 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3557 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3559 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3560 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4250 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that

4280 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

4493 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4494 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4495 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4496 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4600 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4601 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4602 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4603 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4604 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4605 I apologize for the inconvenience.

4608 remove debian/files properly.

4676 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).

4678 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4679 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had

4863 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4864 past week. Thanks, guys!
4866 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4867 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4868 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4869 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4870 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4871 would do in the same situation.
4872 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4873 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4875 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4877 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4878 permissions changed.
4879 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4880 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4881 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4882 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4883 files are treated identically.

4897 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4898 use -X multiple times, too.

5205 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5211 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5212 a given package, or -i or -a.
5213 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5214 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5215 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5216 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5217 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5218 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5220 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
