56 debhelper (5.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
58 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
59 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
60 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
61 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
62 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
63 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
64 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

93 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
94 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
95 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
96 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
97 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
98 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
99 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

114 modules or python-only modules. This should greatly reduce the
115 number of packages needing to transition together with python.

118 defaults for a package without patching the schemas.

214 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
215 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
216 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
217 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
218 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
219 * debhelper.1: Explicitly document that docs describe latest compat
220 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the

1541 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1542 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1543 dh_install, which ...
1544 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1545 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1546 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1547 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1548 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1549 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1550 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1551 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1552 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1553 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1554 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1555 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1556 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1557 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1558 other minor changes.
1559 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1560 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1561 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1562 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1563 course there's -X ..)
1564 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1565 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1566 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1568 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1569 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1570 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1571 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

1619 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1647 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1649 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1650 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1651 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1652 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1653 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1654 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1655 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1656 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1657 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1658 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1659 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1660 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1661 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1662 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1663 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1664 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1666 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1701 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1702 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1703 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1704 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1705 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1706 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1707 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1708 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1893 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1894 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1895 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2047 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which
2048 contained (arguably broken) absolute symlinks to real files, which were

2064 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2066 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2067 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2068 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2069 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2070 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2071 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2072 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2073 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2076 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants

2127 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2129 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2130 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2131 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2132 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2133 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2134 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2135 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2136 but is mildly deprecated.
2137 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2138 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2139 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2140 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2141 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2142 switching to statoverrides..
2143 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2144 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2145 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2146 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2147 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2148 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2150 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2151 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2152 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2153 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2154 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2155 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2156 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2157 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2158 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2160 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2161 variable names, pod man pages).
2162 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2163 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2164 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2165 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2166 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2167 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2168 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2241 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2334 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2335 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2336 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2337 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2339 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2340 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2341 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2343 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2345 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2346 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2347 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2584 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2585 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2586 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2587 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2588 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2589 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2590 notice until v2 is complete.
2591 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2592 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2593 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2594 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2595 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2596 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2598 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2599 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2600 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2722 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2723 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2725 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2727 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2728 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2811 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2812 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2813 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2814 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2815 bits until all files have been registered.

2825 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2826 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2827 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2828 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2829 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2830 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2831 otherwise change the result at all.
2833 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2834 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2835 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2954 I made some changes, though:
2955 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2956 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2957 that is a clear violation of policy.
2958 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2959 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2960 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2961 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2962 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2963 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2964 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2965 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2966 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2968 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3136 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3137 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3138 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3139 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3140 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3141 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3142 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3143 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3851 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3852 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

3881 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3882 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3885 suidregister actually supports it.

3901 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

3903 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

4063 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4064 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4065 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
4066 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

4072 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4073 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4074 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4075 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4076 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4089 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4090 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4091 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4092 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4093 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4094 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4095 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4096 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4097 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4133 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4134 sections of shared libraries.
4135 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4136 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4137 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4138 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4139 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4140 things you don't want them to.

4142 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4201 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4202 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4203 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4204 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4205 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4206 I apologize for the inconvenience.

4209 remove debian/files properly.

4279 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4280 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4281 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4467 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4468 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4469 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4470 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4471 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4472 would do in the same situation.
4473 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4474 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4476 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4478 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

4483 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4484 files are treated identically.

4795 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4796 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

4810 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4811 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4812 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4813 a given package, or -i or -a.
4814 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4815 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4816 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4817 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4818 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4819 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4820 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4821 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4900 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',

5043 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5044 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5045 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5046 multiple binary packages.
5047 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5048 should rebuild them with this version.
5049 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5053 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
5055 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
5056 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

5060 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

5067 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5069 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5070 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5071 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5072 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5073 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5074 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5075 debian/README.debian.
5076 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5077 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5078 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5079 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5080 in a few situations.)

5084 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

5103 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5105 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
5106 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.

5109 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
5111 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5113 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5114 is ready for general use.
5115 * Added man pages for all commands.
5116 * Multiple binary package support.
5117 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5118 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5119 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5121 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5122 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5123 auto-installed as parameters.
5124 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5126 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5129 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5130 the package build directory it is to act on.
5131 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5132 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5133 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
