18 * Updated French translation.
19 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
20 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
21 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
22 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
24 * Typo. Closes: #571968
25 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
26 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
27 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
28 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
29 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
30 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
31 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
32 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702
33 * dh: Allow --list-addons to be used when not in a source package.

65 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
66 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
67 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
68 options that they do not support.
69 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
70 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
71 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

149 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
150 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
151 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
152 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
153 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
154 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
155 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
156 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
157 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
158 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
159 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
160 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
161 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
162 time soon.) Closes: #554509

172 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
173 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
175 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be

211 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
212 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
213 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before

237 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
238 flag with arch all/any packages.
239 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
240 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
241 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
242 situation. Closes: #540794

403 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
404 that support it. Closes: #480577
405 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
406 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
407 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
409 - Adds support for cmake.
410 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
411 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
413 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
415 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
416 that use them. The options are:
417 --sourcedir, --destdir
418 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
419 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
420 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
421 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
422 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

708 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
709 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1234 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most

1259 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1260 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1261 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1262 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1394 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1395 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1396 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1397 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1399 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1400 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1401 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3101 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3103 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3104 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3105 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3106 dh_install, which ...
3107 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3108 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3109 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3110 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3111 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3112 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3113 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3114 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3115 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3116 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3117 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3118 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3119 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3120 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3121 other minor changes.
3122 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3123 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3124 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3125 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3126 course there's -X ..)
3127 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3128 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3129 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3131 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3132 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3133 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3134 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3135 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3179 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3180 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3181 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3182 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3183 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3210 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3212 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3213 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3214 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3215 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3216 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3217 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3218 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3219 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3220 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3221 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3222 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3223 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3224 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3225 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3226 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3227 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3229 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3246 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3247 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3248 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3249 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

3262 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3264 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3265 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3266 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3267 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3268 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3269 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3270 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3271 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3272 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3485 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3486 program those options go to. So, for example,
3487 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3488 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3630 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3631 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3632 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3633 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3634 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3635 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3690 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3692 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3693 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3694 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3695 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3696 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3697 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3698 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3699 but is mildly deprecated.
3700 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3701 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3702 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3703 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3704 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3705 switching to statoverrides..
3706 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3707 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3708 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3709 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3710 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3711 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3713 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3714 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3715 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3716 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3717 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3718 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3719 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3720 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3721 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3723 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3724 variable names, pod man pages).
3725 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3726 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3727 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3728 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3729 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3730 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3731 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3903 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in

4147 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4148 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4149 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4150 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4151 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4152 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4153 notice until v2 is complete.
4154 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4155 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4156 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4157 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4158 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4159 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4161 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4162 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4163 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4164 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4288 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4375 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4376 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

4515 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4516 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4517 I made some changes, though:
4518 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4519 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4520 that is a clear violation of policy.
4521 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4522 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4523 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4524 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4525 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4526 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4527 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4528 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4529 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4531 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4698 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4699 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4700 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4701 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4702 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4703 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4704 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4705 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4706 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5415 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5513 * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that
5514 dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can
5515 also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps.

5637 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5638 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

5653 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5654 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5655 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5656 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5657 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5658 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5659 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5660 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5696 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5697 sections of shared libraries.
5698 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5699 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5700 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5701 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5702 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5703 things you don't want them to.

5842 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5843 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5844 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6025 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6026 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6027 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6028 past week. Thanks, guys!
6030 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6031 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6032 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6033 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6034 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6035 would do in the same situation.
6036 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6037 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6039 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6041 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6042 permissions changed.
6043 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6044 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6045 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6046 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6047 files are treated identically.
6048 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6049 * Minor man page fixes.
6050 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6052 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6060 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6061 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6062 use -X multiple times, too.
6063 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6064 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6089 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6090 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6487 the dh_* programs (#15497).
6488 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

6541 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6542 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6543 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6544 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6545 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6604 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6606 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6607 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6608 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6609 multiple binary packages.
6610 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6611 should rebuild them with this version.
6612 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6630 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6632 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6633 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6634 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6635 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6636 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6637 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6638 debian/README.debian.
6639 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6640 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6641 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6642 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6643 in a few situations.)

6674 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6676 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6677 is ready for general use.
6678 * Added man pages for all commands.
6679 * Multiple binary package support.
6680 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6681 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6682 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6684 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6685 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6686 auto-installed as parameters.
6687 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6689 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6692 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6693 the package build directory it is to act on.
6694 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6695 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6696 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
