22 * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
23 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
24 to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
26 (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
27 warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)

36 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
37 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
38 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
39 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
41 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
42 that uses them. Affected options are:
43 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
44 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
45 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
46 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
47 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
48 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
49 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
50 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
51 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
52 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
53 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
54 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

192 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
193 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
194 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting

515 - man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not
516 - typo in alternatives call
517 - use the basename of the wm to get the man page name
519 * dh_installwm: Also make the code to find the man page more robust and
520 fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found.

546 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
547 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
549 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
550 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
551 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
552 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
553 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
554 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
555 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
556 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
557 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
558 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
559 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

566 package install. Closes: #415717
567 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
568 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
569 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
570 script and then remove the python files.
571 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
572 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
573 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
574 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
575 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
576 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
577 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
578 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
579 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
580 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
581 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
582 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have

699 * Non-maintainer upload.
700 * Update of dh_python
701 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
702 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
703 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
704 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
705 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
706 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
707 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
708 specific python version. Closes: #373853
709 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
710 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
712 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
713 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
714 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
715 the not too-distant future).
716 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
717 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
718 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
719 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

2267 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
2268 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
2269 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
2270 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the

2416 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2417 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2418 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2419 dh_install, which ...
2420 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2421 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2422 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2423 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2424 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2425 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2426 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2427 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2428 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2429 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2430 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2431 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2432 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2433 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2434 other minor changes.
2435 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2436 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2437 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2438 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2439 course there's -X ..)
2440 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2441 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2442 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2444 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2445 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2446 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2447 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2448 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2492 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2493 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2494 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2495 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2496 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2523 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2525 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2526 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2527 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2528 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2529 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2530 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2531 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2532 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2533 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2534 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2535 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2536 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2537 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2538 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2539 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2540 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2542 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2562 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

2575 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2577 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2578 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2579 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2580 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2581 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2582 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2583 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2584 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2585 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2766 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented

2769 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2770 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

2797 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2798 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2799 program those options go to. So, for example,
2800 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3009 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3010 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3011 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3012 but is mildly deprecated.
3013 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3014 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3015 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3016 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3017 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3018 switching to statoverrides..
3019 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3020 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3021 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3022 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3023 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3024 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3026 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3027 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3028 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3029 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3030 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3031 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3032 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3033 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3034 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3036 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3037 variable names, pod man pages).
3038 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3039 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3040 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3041 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3042 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3043 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3044 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3116 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3117 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3209 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3210 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3211 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3212 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3213 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3215 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3216 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3217 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3219 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3221 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3222 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3223 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3224 should now be raised to severity important..

3268 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3460 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3461 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3462 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3463 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3464 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3465 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3466 notice until v2 is complete.
3467 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3468 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3469 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3470 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3471 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3472 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3598 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3599 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3601 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3602 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3603 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3604 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3605 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3606 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3686 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3687 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3688 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3689 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3690 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3691 bits until all files have been registered.

3701 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3702 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3703 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3704 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3705 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3706 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3707 otherwise change the result at all.
3709 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3710 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3732 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to

3829 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3830 I made some changes, though:
3831 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3832 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3833 that is a clear violation of policy.
3834 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3835 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3836 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3837 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3838 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3839 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3840 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3841 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3842 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3844 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4014 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4015 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4016 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4017 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4018 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4019 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4025 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4026 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4027 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4029 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4030 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4031 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4032 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4033 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4034 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4036 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4037 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4727 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that

4970 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4971 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4972 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4973 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5031 * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
5032 installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.

5040 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/

5044 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
5045 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5046 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5047 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
5048 the program to not fail. (#26214)

5077 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5078 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5079 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5080 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5081 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5082 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5084 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5085 remove debian/files properly.
5086 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5087 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5088 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5089 * Removed bogus menu file.

5105 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5106 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

5137 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5138 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
5139 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
5140 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

5147 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.

5149 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5150 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5151 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5152 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5153 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5154 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5155 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5156 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5157 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5159 passed any switches.

5171 large chunks in the process.
5172 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5173 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5209 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

5340 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5341 past week. Thanks, guys!
5343 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5344 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5345 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5346 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5347 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5348 would do in the same situation.
5349 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5350 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5352 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5354 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5355 permissions changed.
5356 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5357 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5358 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5359 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5360 files are treated identically.
5361 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5374 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5375 use -X multiple times, too.

5688 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5689 a given package, or -i or -a.
5690 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5691 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5693 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5695 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
