335 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1657 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1658 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1659 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1660 dh_install, which ...
1661 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1662 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1663 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1664 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1665 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1666 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1667 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1668 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1669 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1670 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1671 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1672 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1673 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1674 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1675 other minor changes.
1676 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1677 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1678 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1679 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1680 course there's -X ..)
1681 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1682 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1683 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1685 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1686 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1687 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1688 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1689 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1733 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1734 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1735 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1736 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1737 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
1739 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

1764 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1766 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1767 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1768 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1769 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1770 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1771 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1772 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1773 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1774 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1775 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1776 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1777 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1778 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1779 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1780 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1781 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1783 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1801 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1802 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!

1816 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1818 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1819 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1820 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1821 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1822 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1823 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1824 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1825 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1826 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2038 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2039 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2040 program those options go to. So, for example,
2041 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2042 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2185 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2186 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2187 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2188 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2189 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2246 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2247 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2248 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2249 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2250 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2251 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2252 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2253 but is mildly deprecated.
2254 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2255 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2256 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2257 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2258 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2259 switching to statoverrides..
2260 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2261 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2262 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2263 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2264 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2265 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2267 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2268 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2269 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2270 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2271 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2272 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2273 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2274 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2275 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2277 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2278 variable names, pod man pages).
2279 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2280 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2281 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2282 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2283 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2284 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2285 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2451 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2454 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2456 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2457 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2458 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2463 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt

2699 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2701 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2702 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2703 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2704 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2705 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2706 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2707 notice until v2 is complete.
2708 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2709 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2710 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2711 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2712 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2713 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2715 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2716 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2717 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2718 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2839 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2840 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2842 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2843 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2844 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2845 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2846 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2929 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2930 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2931 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2932 bits until all files have been registered.

2944 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2945 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2946 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2947 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2948 otherwise change the result at all.
2950 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2951 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3068 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
3069 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3070 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3071 I made some changes, though:
3072 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3073 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3074 that is a clear violation of policy.
3075 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3076 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3077 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3078 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3079 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3080 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3081 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3082 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3083 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3085 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3250 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3251 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3252 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3253 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3254 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3255 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3256 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3257 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3258 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3259 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3260 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3270 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3272 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3273 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3274 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3275 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4208 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4209 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4210 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4211 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4212 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4213 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4214 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4251 sections of shared libraries.

4253 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4254 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4255 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4256 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4257 things you don't want them to.

4579 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4580 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4581 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4582 past week. Thanks, guys!
4584 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4585 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4586 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4587 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4588 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4589 would do in the same situation.
4590 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4591 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4593 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4595 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4596 permissions changed.
4597 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4598 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4599 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4600 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4601 files are treated identically.
4602 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4603 * Minor man page fixes.
4604 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4606 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4615 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4616 use -X multiple times, too.
4617 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4618 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5096 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5097 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5098 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5099 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5160 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5161 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5162 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5163 multiple binary packages.
5164 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5165 should rebuild them with this version.

5186 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5187 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5188 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5189 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5190 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5191 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5192 debian/README.debian.
5193 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5194 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5195 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5196 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5197 in a few situations.)

5233 * Multiple binary package support.
5234 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5235 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5236 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5238 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5239 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5240 auto-installed as parameters.
5241 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5243 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5246 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5247 the package build directory it is to act on.
5248 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5249 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5250 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
