640 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
642 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
643 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
644 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
645 the not too-distant future).
646 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.

1021 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5

2346 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2347 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2348 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2349 dh_install, which ...
2350 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2351 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2352 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2353 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2354 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2355 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2356 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2357 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2358 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2359 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2360 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2361 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2362 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2363 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2364 other minor changes.
2365 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2366 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2367 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2368 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2369 course there's -X ..)
2370 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2371 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2372 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2374 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2375 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2376 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2377 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2378 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2453 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2455 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2456 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2457 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2458 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2459 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2460 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2461 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2462 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2463 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2464 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2465 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2466 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2467 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2468 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2469 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2470 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2472 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2507 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2508 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2509 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2510 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2511 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2512 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2513 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2514 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2515 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2689 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2691 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2692 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2693 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2694 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2695 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2696 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2697 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2698 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2699 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2700 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2701 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2702 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2703 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2721 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2723 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2724 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2725 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2726 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2727 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2728 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2729 program those options go to. So, for example,
2730 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2731 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2732 something complex. Closes: #89311
2733 * Made escape_shell output a lot better.

2737 debhelper (3.0.26) unstable; urgency=low
2739 * Always include package name in maintainer script fragment filenames
2740 and generated shlibs files (except for in DH_COMPAT=1 mode). This is a
2741 purely cosmetic change, and if it breaks anything, you were using an
2742 undocumented interface. Closes: #95387

2746 debhelper (3.0.25) unstable; urgency=low

2749 through loop. Closes: #98598

2755 * Missing semi-colon.

2757 this (dh_* should be called, really).

2761 debhelper (3.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
2763 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
2764 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings
2765 breaks things since they LD_PRELOAD a library that is specified in the
2766 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494

2774 bottom of the bug barrel here). Closes: #97404

2778 debhelper (3.0.21) unstable; urgency=low

2785 debhelper (3.0.20) unstable; urgency=low
2787 * Modified the postrm fragment for dh_installxfonts to not try to delete
2788 any files. The responsibility for doing so devolves onto update-fonts-*
2789 (which don't yet, but will). See bug #94752

2793 debhelper (3.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
2795 * Now uses html2text rather than lynx for converting html changelogs.
2796 The program generates better results, and won't annoy the people who
2797 were oddly annoyed at having to install lynx. Instead, it will annoy a
2798 whole other set of people, I'm sure. Closes: #93747

2849 debhelper (3.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
2851 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
2852 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
2853 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which
2854 contained (arguably broken) absolute symlinks to real files, which were

2867 debhelper (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
2869 * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture.
2870 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
2871 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
2872 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2873 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2874 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2875 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2876 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2877 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2878 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2879 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2880 Closes: #88464, #77743
2881 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2882 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2883 us to deal with that gracefully.

2886 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197

2933 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2935 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2936 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2937 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2938 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2939 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2940 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2941 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2942 but is mildly deprecated.
2943 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2944 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2945 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2946 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2947 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2948 switching to statoverrides..
2949 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2950 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2951 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2952 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2953 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2954 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2956 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2957 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2958 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2959 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2960 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2961 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2962 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2963 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2964 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2966 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2967 variable names, pod man pages).
2968 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2969 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2970 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2971 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2972 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2973 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2974 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3043 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3044 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3045 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3046 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3047 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3048 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3049 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3050 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3051 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3052 it is an obsolete program.

3138 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3139 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3140 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3141 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3142 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3143 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3145 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3146 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3147 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3149 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3151 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3152 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3153 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3154 should now be raised to severity important..
3155 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3156 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3197 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3198 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3390 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3391 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3392 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3393 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3394 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3395 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3396 notice until v2 is complete.
3397 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3398 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3399 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3400 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3401 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3402 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3404 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3529 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3531 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3532 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3533 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3534 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3535 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3536 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
3537 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

3618 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3619 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3620 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3621 bits until all files have been registered.

3631 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3632 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3633 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3635 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3636 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

3639 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3640 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3759 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3760 I made some changes, though:
3761 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3762 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3763 that is a clear violation of policy.
3764 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3765 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3766 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3767 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3768 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3769 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3770 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3771 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3772 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3774 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3818 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3819 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3820 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3938 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3939 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.

3941 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3942 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3943 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3944 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3945 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3946 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3947 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3948 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3949 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4685 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4686 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4687 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

4691 suidregister actually supports it.

4900 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4901 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4902 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5035 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5036 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5037 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
5038 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5067 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5068 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5079 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5080 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5081 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5082 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5083 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5084 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5085 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5086 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5087 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5270 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5271 past week. Thanks, guys!
5273 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5274 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5275 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5276 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5277 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5278 would do in the same situation.
5279 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5280 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5282 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5284 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5285 permissions changed.
5286 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5287 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5288 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5289 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5290 files are treated identically.
5291 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5304 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5305 use -X multiple times, too.

5611 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5612 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5616 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5617 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5618 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5619 a given package, or -i or -a.
5620 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5621 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5622 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5623 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5624 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5625 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5627 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5706 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5707 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
