121 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a

124 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
126 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
127 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
128 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
129 the not too-distant future).
130 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
131 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1830 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1831 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1832 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1833 dh_install, which ...
1834 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1835 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1836 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1837 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1838 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1839 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1840 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1841 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1842 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1843 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1844 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1845 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1846 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1847 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1848 other minor changes.
1849 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1850 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1851 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1852 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1853 course there's -X ..)
1854 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1855 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1856 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1858 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1859 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1860 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1861 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

1937 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1939 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1940 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1941 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1942 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1943 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1944 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1945 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1946 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1947 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1948 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1949 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1950 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1951 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1952 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1953 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1954 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1956 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1991 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1992 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1993 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1994 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1995 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1996 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1997 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1998 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1999 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2175 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2176 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2177 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2178 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2179 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2180 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2181 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2182 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2183 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2184 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2185 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2187 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2208 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2209 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2210 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2211 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2212 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2213 program those options go to. So, for example,
2214 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2215 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2356 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2357 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2358 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2359 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2360 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2361 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2362 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2363 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2417 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2419 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2420 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2421 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2422 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2423 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2424 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2425 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2426 but is mildly deprecated.
2427 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2428 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2429 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2430 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2431 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2432 switching to statoverrides..
2433 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2434 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2435 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2436 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2437 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2438 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2440 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2441 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2442 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2443 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2444 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2445 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2446 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2447 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2448 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2450 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2451 variable names, pod man pages).
2452 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2453 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2454 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2455 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2456 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2457 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2458 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2621 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2622 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2623 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2624 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2625 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2626 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2627 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2629 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2630 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2631 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2633 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2635 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2636 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2637 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2638 should now be raised to severity important..
2639 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2640 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2872 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2874 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2875 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2876 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2877 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2878 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2879 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2880 notice until v2 is complete.
2881 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2882 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2883 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2884 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2885 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2886 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2888 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2889 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2890 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3099 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3100 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3101 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3102 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3103 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3104 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3105 bits until all files have been registered.

3114 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3115 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3116 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3117 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3118 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3119 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3120 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3121 otherwise change the result at all.
3123 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3124 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3143 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3144 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3146 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3147 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3148 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3149 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3243 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3244 I made some changes, though:
3245 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3246 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3247 that is a clear violation of policy.
3248 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3249 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3250 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3251 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3252 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3253 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3254 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3255 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3256 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3258 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3303 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3304 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3422 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3423 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3424 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3425 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3426 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3427 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3428 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3429 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3430 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3431 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3432 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3433 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3443 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3771 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3772 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4384 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4385 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4386 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4561 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
4562 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4563 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4564 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4565 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4566 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4567 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4568 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4569 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4570 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4571 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4572 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4573 passed any switches.

4584 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4585 large chunks in the process.

4754 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4755 past week. Thanks, guys!
4757 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4758 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4759 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4760 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4761 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4762 would do in the same situation.
4763 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4764 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4766 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4768 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4769 permissions changed.
4770 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4771 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4772 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4773 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4774 files are treated identically.
4775 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4788 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4789 use -X multiple times, too.

5066 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5067 are supported. (#16935)

5100 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5101 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5102 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5103 a given package, or -i or -a.
5104 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5105 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5106 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5107 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5108 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5109 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5111 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5190 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5191 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
