129 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
130 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most

133 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
134 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

151 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
152 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
153 script and then remove the python files.
154 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
155 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
156 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
157 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
158 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
159 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
160 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
161 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
162 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
163 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

284 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
285 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

287 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
288 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
289 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
290 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
291 specific python version. Closes: #373853
292 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
293 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
295 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
296 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
297 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
298 the not too-distant future).
299 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
300 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

676 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
677 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1999 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2000 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2001 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2002 dh_install, which ...
2003 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2004 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2005 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2006 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2007 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2008 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2009 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2010 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2011 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2012 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2013 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2014 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2015 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2016 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2017 other minor changes.
2018 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2019 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2020 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2021 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2022 course there's -X ..)
2023 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2024 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2027 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2028 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

2073 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
2075 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2076 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2077 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2078 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2079 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
2081 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
2082 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

2106 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2108 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2109 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2110 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2111 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2112 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2113 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2114 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2115 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2116 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2117 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2118 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2119 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2120 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2121 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2122 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2123 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2125 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2141 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2142 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2143 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2144 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2145 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2146 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
2147 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

2158 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2160 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2161 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2162 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2163 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2164 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2165 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2166 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2167 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2168 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2346 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2347 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2348 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2349 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2350 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2351 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2352 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2353 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2354 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2379 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2380 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2381 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2382 program those options go to. So, for example,
2383 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2384 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2586 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2588 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2589 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2590 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2591 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2592 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2593 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2594 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2595 but is mildly deprecated.
2596 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2597 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2598 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2599 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2600 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2601 switching to statoverrides..
2602 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2603 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2604 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2605 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2606 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2607 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2609 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2610 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2611 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2612 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2613 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2614 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2615 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2616 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2617 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2619 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2620 variable names, pod man pages).
2621 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2622 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2623 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2624 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2625 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2626 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2627 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2699 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2700 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2702 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2793 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2795 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2796 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2798 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2799 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2800 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2802 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2805 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2806 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2851 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3043 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3044 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3045 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3046 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3047 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3048 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3049 notice until v2 is complete.
3050 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3051 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3052 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3053 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3054 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3055 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3057 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3058 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3059 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3060 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3180 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3181 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3182 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3184 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3185 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3186 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3187 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3188 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3268 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3269 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3270 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3271 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3272 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3273 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3274 bits until all files have been registered.

3283 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3284 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3285 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3286 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3287 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3288 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3289 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3290 otherwise change the result at all.
3292 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3293 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3294 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3295 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3312 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3313 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3315 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3316 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3317 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

3412 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3413 I made some changes, though:
3414 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3415 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3416 that is a clear violation of policy.
3417 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3418 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3419 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3420 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3421 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3422 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3423 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3424 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3425 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3427 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3591 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3592 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3593 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3594 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3595 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3596 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3597 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3598 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3599 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3600 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3601 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3602 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3612 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3613 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3614 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3615 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3616 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3617 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4554 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4555 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4556 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4930 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd

5271 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5272 a given package, or -i or -a.
5273 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5274 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5275 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5276 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5277 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5278 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5280 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5537 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5538 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5539 in a few situations.)

5570 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5572 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5573 is ready for general use.
5574 * Added man pages for all commands.
5575 * Multiple binary package support.
5576 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5577 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5578 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5580 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5581 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5582 auto-installed as parameters.
5583 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5585 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5588 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5589 the package build directory it is to act on.
5590 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5591 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5592 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
