16 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
17 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
18 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
19 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
20 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
21 * debhelper.1: Explicitly document that docs describe latest compat
22 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the
23 "Debhelper compatibility levels" section of debhelper.1. Closes: #336906

1342 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1343 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1344 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1345 dh_install, which ...
1346 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1347 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1348 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1349 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1350 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1351 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1352 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1353 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1354 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1355 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1356 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1357 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1358 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1359 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1360 other minor changes.
1361 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1362 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1363 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1364 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1365 course there's -X ..)
1366 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1367 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1368 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1370 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1371 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1372 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1373 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

1418 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1419 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1420 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1421 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1422 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1449 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1451 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1452 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1453 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1454 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1455 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1456 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1457 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1458 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1459 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1460 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1461 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1462 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1463 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1464 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1465 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1466 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1468 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1503 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1504 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1505 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1506 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1507 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1508 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1509 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1510 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1511 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1687 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1688 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1689 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1690 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1691 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1692 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1693 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1694 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1695 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1696 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1697 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1699 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1719 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1720 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1721 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1722 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1723 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1724 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1725 program those options go to. So, for example,
1726 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1727 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1869 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1870 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1871 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1872 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1873 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1874 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1875 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1929 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1931 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1932 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1933 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1934 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1935 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1936 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1937 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1938 but is mildly deprecated.
1939 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1940 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1941 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1942 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1943 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1944 switching to statoverrides..
1945 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1946 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1947 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1948 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1949 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1950 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1952 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1953 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1954 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1955 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1956 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1957 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1958 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1959 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1960 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1962 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1963 variable names, pod man pages).
1964 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1965 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1966 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1967 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1968 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1969 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1970 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2039 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2040 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2041 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2042 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2043 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2044 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2045 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2046 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2047 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2048 it is an obsolete program.

2133 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2134 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2135 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2136 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2137 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2138 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2139 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2141 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2142 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2143 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2145 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2147 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2148 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2149 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2150 should now be raised to severity important..
2151 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2152 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2193 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2194 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2210 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2211 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2212 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2386 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2387 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2388 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2389 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2390 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2391 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2392 notice until v2 is complete.
2393 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2394 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2395 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2396 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2397 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2398 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2400 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2401 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

2612 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2613 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2614 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2615 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2616 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2617 bits until all files have been registered.

2626 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2627 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2628 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2629 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2630 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2631 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2632 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2633 otherwise change the result at all.
2635 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2636 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2655 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2656 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2658 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2659 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2660 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2661 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2755 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2756 I made some changes, though:
2757 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2758 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2759 that is a clear violation of policy.
2760 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2761 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2762 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2763 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2764 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2765 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2766 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2767 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2768 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2770 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2814 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2815 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2816 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2937 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2938 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2939 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2940 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2941 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2942 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2943 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2944 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2945 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3059 debhelper (2.0.16) unstable; urgency=low
3061 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
3062 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
3063 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this
3064 ever happenning, but it pays to be safe.

3118 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3119 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3120 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3121 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3173 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3174 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3187 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3188 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3189 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3190 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3191 * debhelper.1: documented this.

3266 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3267 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3268 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3283 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3284 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3332 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3653 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3654 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
3655 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
3656 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

3679 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
3681 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3682 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3683 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3684 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
3685 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
3686 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
3687 suidregister actually supports it.
3688 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
3689 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

3703 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3704 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3705 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3706 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3707 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

3737 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3738 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3739 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
3740 effect, either. (#30118)

3875 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3876 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3877 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3878 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3893 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3894 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3895 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3896 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3897 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3898 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3899 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4063 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4064 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4075 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4076 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4077 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4078 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4079 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4080 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4081 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4082 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4083 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4266 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4267 past week. Thanks, guys!
4269 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4270 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4271 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4272 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4273 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4274 would do in the same situation.
4275 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4276 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4278 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4280 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4281 permissions changed.
4282 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4283 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4284 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4285 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4286 files are treated identically.
4287 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4300 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4301 use -X multiple times, too.

4576 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

4578 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4579 are supported. (#16935)

4597 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4598 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4599 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the

4605 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4607 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4608 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4609 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4611 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4612 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4613 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4614 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4615 a given package, or -i or -a.
4616 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4617 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4618 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4619 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4620 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4621 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4622 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4623 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4702 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4703 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

4880 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
