11 * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,

43 * Updated French translation.
44 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
45 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
46 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
47 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
49 * Typo. Closes: #571968
50 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
51 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
52 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
53 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
54 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
55 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
56 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
57 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702
58 * dh: Allow --list-addons to be used when not in a source package.

89 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
90 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
91 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
92 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
93 options that they do not support.
94 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
95 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
96 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
97 (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)

140 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
141 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
142 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)

152 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop

174 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
175 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
176 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
177 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
178 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
179 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
180 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
181 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
182 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
183 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
184 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
185 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
186 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
187 time soon.) Closes: #554509

195 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
196 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
197 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
198 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
200 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
201 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to

234 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link

236 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
237 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
238 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
239 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers

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

425 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere

428 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
429 that support it. Closes: #480577
430 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
431 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
432 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
434 - Adds support for cmake.
435 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
436 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
438 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
440 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
441 that use them. The options are:
442 --sourcedir, --destdir
443 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
444 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
445 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
446 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
447 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

731 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
732 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
733 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
734 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1259 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most

1285 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers

1422 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1424 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1425 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1426 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3128 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3129 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3130 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3131 dh_install, which ...
3132 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3133 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3134 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3135 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3136 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3137 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3138 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3139 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3140 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3141 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3142 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3143 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3144 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3145 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3146 other minor changes.
3147 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3148 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3149 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3150 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3151 course there's -X ..)
3152 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3153 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3154 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3156 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3157 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3158 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3159 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3160 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3204 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3205 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3206 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3207 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3208 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3235 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3237 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3238 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3239 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3240 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3241 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3242 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3243 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3244 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3245 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3246 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3247 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3248 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3249 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3250 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3251 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3252 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3254 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3271 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3272 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3273 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3274 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

3289 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3290 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3291 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3292 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3293 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3294 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3295 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3296 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3297 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3505 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3506 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3507 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3508 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3509 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3510 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3511 program those options go to. So, for example,
3512 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3513 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3514 something complex. Closes: #89311

3655 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3656 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3657 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3658 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3659 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3660 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3715 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3717 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3718 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3719 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3720 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3721 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3722 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3723 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3724 but is mildly deprecated.
3725 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3726 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3727 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3728 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3729 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3730 switching to statoverrides..
3731 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3732 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3733 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3734 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3735 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3736 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3738 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3739 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3740 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3741 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3742 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3743 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3744 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3745 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3746 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3748 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3749 variable names, pod man pages).
3750 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3751 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3752 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3753 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3754 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3755 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3756 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3922 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3925 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3927 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3928 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3929 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3993 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3994 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3995 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3996 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3997 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3998 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatibility.

4170 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
4172 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4173 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4174 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4175 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4176 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4177 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4178 notice until v2 is complete.
4179 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4180 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4181 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4182 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4183 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4184 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4186 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4187 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4188 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4189 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4310 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4311 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4313 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4314 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4315 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4316 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4400 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4401 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4402 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4403 bits until all files have been registered.

4413 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4414 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4415 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4416 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4417 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4418 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4419 otherwise change the result at all.
4421 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4422 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4540 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4541 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4542 I made some changes, though:
4543 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4544 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4545 that is a clear violation of policy.
4546 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4547 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4548 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4549 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4550 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4551 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4552 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4553 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4554 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4556 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4720 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4721 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4722 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4723 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4724 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4725 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4726 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4727 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4728 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4729 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4730 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4731 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4741 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4742 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4743 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4744 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4745 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4746 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5682 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5683 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5684 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6050 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6051 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6052 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6053 past week. Thanks, guys!
6055 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6056 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6057 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6058 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6059 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6060 would do in the same situation.
6061 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6062 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6064 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6066 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6067 permissions changed.
6068 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6069 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6070 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6071 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6072 files are treated identically.
6073 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6075 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6086 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6087 use -X multiple times, too.

6488 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6489 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6490 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6491 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6566 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6567 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6568 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6569 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6570 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6631 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6632 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6633 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6634 multiple binary packages.
6635 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6636 should rebuild them with this version.

6657 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6658 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6659 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6660 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6661 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6662 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6663 debian/README.debian.
6664 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6665 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6666 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6667 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6668 in a few situations.)

6704 * Multiple binary package support.
6705 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6706 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6707 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6709 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6710 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6711 auto-installed as parameters.
6712 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6714 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6717 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6718 the package build directory it is to act on.
6719 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6720 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6721 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
