54 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back

68 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
69 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
70 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
72 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
73 that uses them. Affected options are:
74 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
75 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
76 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
77 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
78 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
79 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
80 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
81 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
82 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
83 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
84 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
85 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

197 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
198 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded

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

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

631 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
632 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
633 script and then remove the python files.
634 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
635 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
636 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
637 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
638 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
639 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
640 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
641 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
642 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
643 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

767 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
768 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.

770 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
771 specific python version. Closes: #373853
772 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
773 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
775 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
776 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
777 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
778 the not too-distant future).

2330 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
2331 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
2332 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
2333 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the

2479 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2480 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2481 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2482 dh_install, which ...
2483 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2484 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2485 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2486 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2487 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2488 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2489 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2490 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2491 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2492 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2493 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2494 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2495 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2496 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2497 other minor changes.
2498 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2499 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2500 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2501 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2502 course there's -X ..)
2503 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2504 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2505 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2507 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2508 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2509 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2510 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2511 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2555 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2556 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2557 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2558 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2559 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2586 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2588 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2589 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2590 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2591 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2592 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2593 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2594 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2595 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2596 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2597 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2598 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2599 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2600 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2601 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2602 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2603 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2605 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2638 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2640 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2641 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2642 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2643 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2644 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2645 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2646 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2647 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2648 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2826 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2827 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2828 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2829 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2830 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2831 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2832 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2833 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2834 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2860 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2861 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2862 program those options go to. So, for example,
2863 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2864 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3009 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3010 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3011 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3012 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
3013 Closes: #88464, #77743
3014 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
3015 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
3016 us to deal with that gracefully.

3019 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197
3020 * dh_installdocs and dh_link have been able to make doc-dir symlinks for
3021 a while, Closes: #51225

3066 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3068 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3069 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3070 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3071 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3072 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3073 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3074 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3075 but is mildly deprecated.
3076 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3077 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3078 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3079 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3080 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3081 switching to statoverrides..
3082 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3083 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3084 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3085 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3086 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3087 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3089 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3090 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3091 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3092 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3093 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3094 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3095 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3096 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3097 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3099 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3100 variable names, pod man pages).
3101 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3102 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3103 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3104 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3105 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3106 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3107 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3179 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3180 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3182 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3273 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3274 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3275 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3276 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3278 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3279 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3280 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3282 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3284 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3285 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3286 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3521 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3523 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3524 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3525 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3526 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3527 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3528 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3529 notice until v2 is complete.
3530 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3531 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3532 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3533 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3534 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3535 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3537 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3538 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3539 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3540 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3661 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3662 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3664 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3665 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3666 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3667 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

3750 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3751 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3752 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3753 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3754 bits until all files have been registered.

3766 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3767 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3768 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3769 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3770 otherwise change the result at all.
3772 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3773 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3893 I made some changes, though:
3894 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3895 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3896 that is a clear violation of policy.
3897 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3898 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3899 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3900 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3901 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3902 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3903 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3904 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3905 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3907 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4071 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4072 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4073 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4074 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4075 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4076 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4077 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4078 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4079 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4080 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4081 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4082 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4090 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4092 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4093 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4094 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4095 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4096 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4097 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4790 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4791 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4842 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

5029 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5030 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5031 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5032 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5033 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5034 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5035 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5036 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5072 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5073 sections of shared libraries.

5075 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5076 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5077 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5078 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5079 things you don't want them to.

5140 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in

5142 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5143 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5144 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5408 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are

5410 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5411 would do in the same situation.

5713 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

5715 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5716 are supported. (#16935)

5734 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5735 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

5744 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5745 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5746 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5748 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5749 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5750 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5751 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5752 a given package, or -i or -a.
5753 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5754 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5755 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5756 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5757 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5758 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5759 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5760 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5761 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

5837 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5838 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5839 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5840 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

6011 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6012 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6013 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6014 debian/README.debian.
6015 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6016 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6017 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6018 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6019 in a few situations.)

6050 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6052 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6053 is ready for general use.
6054 * Added man pages for all commands.
6055 * Multiple binary package support.
6056 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6057 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6058 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6060 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6061 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6062 auto-installed as parameters.
6063 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6065 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6068 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6069 the package build directory it is to act on.
6070 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6071 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6072 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
