15 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
16 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
18 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
19 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
20 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
21 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
22 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
23 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
24 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
25 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
26 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

35 package install. Closes: #415717
36 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
37 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
38 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
39 script and then remove the python files.
40 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
41 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
42 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
43 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
44 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
45 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
46 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
47 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
48 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
49 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

168 * Non-maintainer upload.
169 * Update of dh_python
170 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
171 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
172 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
173 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
174 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
175 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
176 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
177 specific python version. Closes: #373853
178 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
179 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
181 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
182 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
183 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
184 the not too-distant future).
185 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
186 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

559 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
560 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
561 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
562 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
563 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1566 --list-missing look only at what is in debian/tmp. This is gross, but
1567 people have come to depend on that behavior, and that combination has no

1737 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
1738 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
1739 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the

1883 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1885 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1886 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1887 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1888 dh_install, which ...
1889 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1890 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1891 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1892 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1893 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1894 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1895 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1896 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1897 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1898 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1899 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1900 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1901 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1902 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1903 other minor changes.
1904 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1905 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1906 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1907 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1908 course there's -X ..)
1909 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1910 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1911 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1913 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1914 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1915 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1916 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1917 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1961 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1962 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1963 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1964 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1965 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1992 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1994 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1995 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1996 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1997 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1998 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1999 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2000 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2001 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2002 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2003 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2004 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2005 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2006 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2007 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2008 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2009 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2011 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2046 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2047 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2048 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2049 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2050 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2051 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2052 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2053 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2054 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2233 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2234 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2235 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2236 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2237 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2238 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2239 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2240 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2264 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2265 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2266 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2267 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2268 program those options go to. So, for example,
2269 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2270 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2414 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2415 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2416 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2417 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2474 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2475 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2476 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2477 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2478 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2480 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2481 but is mildly deprecated.
2482 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2483 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2484 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2485 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2486 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2487 switching to statoverrides..
2488 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2489 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2490 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2491 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2492 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2493 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2495 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2496 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2497 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2498 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2499 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2500 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2501 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2502 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2503 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2505 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2506 variable names, pod man pages).
2507 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2508 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2509 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2510 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2511 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2512 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2513 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2582 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2583 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2584 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2585 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2586 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2587 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2588 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2589 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2590 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2591 it is an obsolete program.

2674 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2676 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2677 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2678 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2679 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2680 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2681 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2682 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2684 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2685 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2686 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2688 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2690 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2691 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2692 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2693 should now be raised to severity important..
2694 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2695 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2735 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2736 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2737 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2929 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2930 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2931 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2932 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2933 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2934 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2935 notice until v2 is complete.
2936 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2937 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2938 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2939 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2940 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2941 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2943 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3063 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
3064 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
3065 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3066 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3067 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3068 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3070 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3071 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3072 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3073 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3074 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3075 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
3076 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

3157 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3158 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3159 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3160 bits until all files have been registered.

3170 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3171 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3172 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3174 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3175 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3176 otherwise change the result at all.
3178 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3179 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3298 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3299 I made some changes, though:
3300 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3301 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3302 that is a clear violation of policy.
3303 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3304 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3305 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3306 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3307 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3308 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3309 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3310 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3311 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3313 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3357 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3358 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3359 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3481 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3482 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3483 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3484 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3485 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3486 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3487 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3488 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3561 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

4547 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4548 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4549 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4550 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4551 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4553 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4554 remove debian/files properly.
4555 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4556 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4557 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4558 * Removed bogus menu file.

4571 * Dh_Lib.pm: made U_PARAMS an array of parameters.
4572 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
4573 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
4574 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4575 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4576 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4577 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4600 * dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl.

4602 * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
4604 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
4605 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
4606 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4607 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
4608 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
4609 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

4616 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
4617 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4618 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4619 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4620 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4621 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4622 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4623 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4624 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4625 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4626 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4627 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4628 passed any switches.
4629 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4637 at all for a long while.
4638 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
4639 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4640 large chunks in the process.
4641 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4642 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4675 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
4676 updating 27 man pages.
4677 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
4678 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
4679 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

4808 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4809 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4810 past week. Thanks, guys!
4812 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4813 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4814 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4815 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4816 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4817 would do in the same situation.
4818 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4819 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4821 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4823 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4824 permissions changed.
4825 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4826 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4827 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4828 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4829 files are treated identically.
4830 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4843 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4844 use -X multiple times, too.
4845 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4846 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5119 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

5121 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5122 are supported. (#16935)

5140 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5141 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

5150 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5151 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5152 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5154 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5155 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5156 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5157 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5158 a given package, or -i or -a.
5159 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5160 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5161 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5162 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5163 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5164 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5165 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5166 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5194 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5243 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5244 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5245 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5246 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
