11 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
12 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
13 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
14 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
15 options that they do not support.
16 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
17 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
18 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

96 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
97 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
98 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
99 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
100 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
101 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
102 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
103 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
104 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
105 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
106 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
107 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
108 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
109 time soon.) Closes: #554509

119 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
120 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
122 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
123 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
124 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

156 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
157 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
158 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
159 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
160 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
161 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers

183 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
184 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
185 flag with arch all/any packages.
186 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
187 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
188 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
189 situation. Closes: #540794

344 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
345 contributed by Modestas Vainius
346 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
347 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
348 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
349 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
350 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
351 that support it. Closes: #480577
352 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
353 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
354 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
356 - Adds support for cmake.
357 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
358 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
360 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
362 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
363 that use them. The options are:
364 --sourcedir, --destdir
365 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
366 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
367 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
368 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
369 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

647 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

652 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
653 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
654 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
655 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
656 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1207 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1208 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1209 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1341 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1342 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1343 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1344 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1346 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1347 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1348 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3050 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3051 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3052 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3053 dh_install, which ...
3054 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3055 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3056 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3057 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3058 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3059 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3060 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3061 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3062 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3063 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3064 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3065 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3066 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3067 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3068 other minor changes.
3069 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3070 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3071 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3072 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3073 course there's -X ..)
3074 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3075 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3076 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3078 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3079 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3080 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3081 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3082 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3129 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3157 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3159 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3160 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3161 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3162 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3163 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3164 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3165 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3166 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3167 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3168 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3169 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3170 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3171 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3172 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3173 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3174 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3176 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3211 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3212 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3213 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3214 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3215 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3216 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3217 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3218 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3579 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3580 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3581 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3582 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3639 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3640 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3641 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3642 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3643 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3645 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3646 but is mildly deprecated.
3647 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3648 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3649 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3650 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3651 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3652 switching to statoverrides..
3653 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3654 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3655 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3656 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3657 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3658 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3660 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3661 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3662 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3663 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3664 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3665 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3666 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3667 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3668 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3670 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3671 variable names, pod man pages).
3672 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3673 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3674 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3675 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3676 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3677 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3678 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3844 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3850 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3851 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4094 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4095 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4096 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4097 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4098 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4099 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4100 notice until v2 is complete.
4101 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4102 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4103 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4104 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4105 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4106 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4108 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4109 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4110 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4235 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4322 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4323 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4324 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4325 bits until all files have been registered.

4464 I made some changes, though:
4465 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4466 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4467 that is a clear violation of policy.
4468 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4469 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4470 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4471 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4472 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4473 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4474 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4475 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4476 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4478 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4520 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4521 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4522 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

4642 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4643 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4644 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4645 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4646 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4647 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4648 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4649 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4650 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4651 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4652 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4653 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5523 * The perl conversion is complete.
5525 * dh_compress: perlized (yay, perl has readlink, no more ls -l | awk

5557 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.

5569 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
5571 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
5572 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
5573 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
5574 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
5575 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
5576 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

5580 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
5582 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
5583 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5584 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5585 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5586 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5597 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
5599 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
5600 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5601 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5602 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5603 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5604 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5605 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5606 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5607 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5617 debhelper (1.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
5619 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
5620 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
5621 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

5641 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
5643 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5644 sections of shared libraries.
5645 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5646 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5647 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5648 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5649 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5650 things you don't want them to.
5651 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5652 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5679 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5680 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5681 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

5711 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5712 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5713 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5714 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5715 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5716 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5718 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5719 remove debian/files properly.
5720 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5721 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5722 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5723 * Removed bogus menu file.

5739 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5740 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

5772 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5783 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5784 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5785 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5786 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5787 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5788 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5789 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5790 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5791 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5792 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5793 passed any switches.

5802 at all for a long while.

5804 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5805 large chunks in the process.
5806 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5807 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5974 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5975 past week. Thanks, guys!
5977 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5978 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5979 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5980 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5981 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5982 would do in the same situation.
5983 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5984 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5986 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5988 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5989 permissions changed.
5990 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5991 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5992 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5993 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5994 files are treated identically.
5995 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6006 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
6007 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6008 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6009 use -X multiple times, too.
6010 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6011 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6543 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6544 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6545 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6546 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.

6551 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6553 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6554 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6555 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6556 multiple binary packages.
6557 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6558 should rebuild them with this version.
6559 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6577 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6579 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6580 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6581 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6582 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6583 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6584 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6585 debian/README.debian.
6586 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6587 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6588 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6589 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6590 in a few situations.)

6621 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6623 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6624 is ready for general use.
6625 * Added man pages for all commands.
6626 * Multiple binary package support.
6627 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6628 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6629 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6631 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6632 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6633 auto-installed as parameters.
6634 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6636 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6639 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6640 the package build directory it is to act on.
6641 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6642 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6643 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
