1 debhelper (7.4.4) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems) now supports
4 parallel building by default, as specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
6 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
7 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
8 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
9 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
10 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
11 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
12 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
13 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
14 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
15 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
16 time soon.) Closes: #554509
17 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
19 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatability level 4.
20 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
21 * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
22 document id. Closes: #555677

41 * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force

51 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
52 (It was only run once due to logging.)
53 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
54 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
55 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
56 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
57 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
58 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
59 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
60 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev

80 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
81 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
82 flag with arch all/any packages.
83 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
84 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
85 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
86 situation. Closes: #540794

241 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
242 contributed by Modestas Vainius
243 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
244 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
245 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
246 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
247 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
248 that support it. Closes: #480577
249 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
250 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
251 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
253 - Adds support for cmake.
254 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
255 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
257 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
259 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
260 that use them. The options are:
261 --sourcedir, --destdir
262 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
263 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
264 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
265 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
266 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

333 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
334 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
335 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

537 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
538 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
540 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
541 that uses them. Affected options are:
542 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,

544 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

548 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
549 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
550 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
551 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
552 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
553 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1077 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1078 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1080 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1081 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1082 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

1099 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1100 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1101 script and then remove the python files.
1102 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1103 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1104 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1105 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1106 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1107 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1109 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1110 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1111 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1233 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1234 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1235 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1236 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1237 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1238 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1239 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1240 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1241 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1243 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1244 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1245 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1246 the not too-distant future).

2947 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2948 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2949 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2950 dh_install, which ...
2951 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2952 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2953 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2954 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2955 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2956 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2957 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2958 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2959 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2960 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2961 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2962 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2963 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2964 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2965 other minor changes.
2966 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2967 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2968 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2969 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2970 course there's -X ..)
2971 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2972 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2973 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2975 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2976 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2977 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2978 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2979 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

3024 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3025 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3026 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3027 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3029 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
3030 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

3054 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3056 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3057 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3058 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3059 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3060 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3061 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3062 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3063 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3064 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3065 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3066 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3067 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3068 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3069 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3070 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3071 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3073 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3089 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3090 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3091 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3092 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3093 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3094 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3095 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3106 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3108 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3109 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3110 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3111 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3112 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3113 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3114 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3115 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3116 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3328 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3329 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3330 program those options go to. So, for example,
3331 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3517 * Updated dh_perl to a new version for the new perl organization and

3534 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3536 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3537 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3538 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3539 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3540 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3541 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3542 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3543 but is mildly deprecated.
3544 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3545 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3546 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3547 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3548 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3549 switching to statoverrides..
3550 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3551 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3552 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3553 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3554 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3555 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3557 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3558 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3559 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3560 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3561 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3562 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3563 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3564 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3565 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3567 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3568 variable names, pod man pages).
3569 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3570 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3571 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3572 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3573 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3574 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3575 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3644 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3645 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3646 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3647 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3648 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3649 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3650 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3651 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3652 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3653 it is an obsolete program.

3741 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3742 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3743 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3744 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3746 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3747 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3748 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3750 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3752 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3753 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3754 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3755 should now be raised to severity important..

3799 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3991 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3992 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3993 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3994 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3995 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3996 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3997 notice until v2 is complete.
3998 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3999 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4000 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4001 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4002 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4003 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4005 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4006 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4129 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4130 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4132 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4133 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4134 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4135 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4136 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4216 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4217 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4218 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4219 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4220 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4221 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4222 bits until all files have been registered.

4231 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4232 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4233 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4234 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4235 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4236 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4237 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4238 otherwise change the result at all.
4240 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4241 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4242 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
4243 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

4259 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
4260 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4261 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4263 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4264 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4265 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4266 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4305 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

4360 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4361 I made some changes, though:
4362 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4363 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4364 that is a clear violation of policy.
4365 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4366 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4367 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4368 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4369 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4370 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4371 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4372 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4373 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4375 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4419 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4420 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4421 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4536 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
4538 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
4539 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4540 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4541 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4542 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4543 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4544 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4545 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4546 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4547 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4548 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4549 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4550 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4554 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
4556 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4557 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4558 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4560 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4561 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4562 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4563 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4564 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4565 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4567 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4568 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4618 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
4619 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
4620 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
4621 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4622 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4623 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4624 it's always available.

4631 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

4666 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
4667 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
4668 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

5258 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5259 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
5260 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I

5292 suidregister actually supports it.

5501 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5502 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5503 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5540 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5541 sections of shared libraries.
5542 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5543 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5544 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5545 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5546 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5547 things you don't want them to.
5548 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5549 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5608 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5609 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5610 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5611 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5612 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5613 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5615 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5616 remove debian/files properly.
5617 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

5619 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

5668 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5669 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5683 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5684 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5685 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5686 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5687 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5688 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5871 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5872 past week. Thanks, guys!
5874 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5875 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5876 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5877 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5878 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5879 would do in the same situation.

5881 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5883 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5885 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5886 permissions changed.

5888 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5889 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5890 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5891 files are treated identically.

6008 * dh_installmanpages: convert .so links to symlinks at last (#19829).
6009 * dh_installmanpages.1: documented that no, dh_installmanpages never
6010 installs symlink man pages from the source package (#19831).

6181 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6183 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6184 are supported. (#16935)

6199 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
6201 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
6202 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6203 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6204 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6205 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

6210 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6212 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6213 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6214 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6216 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6217 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6218 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6219 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6220 a given package, or -i or -a.
6221 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6222 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6223 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6224 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6225 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6226 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6227 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6228 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6229 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6231 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6232 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

6256 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6283 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6305 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6306 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6307 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6308 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

6518 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6520 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6521 is ready for general use.
6522 * Added man pages for all commands.
6523 * Multiple binary package support.
6524 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6525 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6526 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6528 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6529 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6530 auto-installed as parameters.
6531 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6533 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6536 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6537 the package build directory it is to act on.
6538 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6539 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6540 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
