93 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
94 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
95 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
96 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
97 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

99 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the

1419 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1420 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1421 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1422 dh_install, which ...
1423 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1424 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1425 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1426 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1427 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1428 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1429 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1430 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1431 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1432 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1433 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1434 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1435 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1436 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1437 other minor changes.
1438 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1439 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1440 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1441 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1442 course there's -X ..)
1443 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1444 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1447 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1448 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1526 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1528 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1529 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1530 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1531 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1532 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1533 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1534 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1535 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1536 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1537 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1538 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1539 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1540 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1541 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1542 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1543 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1545 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1559 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
1561 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
1562 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1563 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1564 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1565 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1567 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

1580 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1581 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1582 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1583 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1584 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1585 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1586 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1587 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1588 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1768 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1769 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1770 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1771 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1772 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1773 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1774 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1799 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1800 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1801 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1802 program those options go to. So, for example,
1803 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1948 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1949 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1950 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1951 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2008 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2009 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2010 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2011 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2012 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2015 but is mildly deprecated.
2016 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2017 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop

2023 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2024 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2025 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2026 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2027 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2029 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2030 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2031 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2032 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2033 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2034 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2035 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2036 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2037 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2039 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2040 variable names, pod man pages).
2041 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2042 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2043 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2044 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2045 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2046 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2047 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2117 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in

2119 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2120 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2122 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2213 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2214 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2215 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2216 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2218 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2219 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2220 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2222 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2224 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2225 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2226 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2227 should now be raised to severity important..
2228 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2229 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2463 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2464 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2465 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2466 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2467 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2468 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2469 notice until v2 is complete.
2470 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2471 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2472 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2473 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2474 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2475 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2477 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

2604 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2605 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2606 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2607 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2608 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2609 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

2691 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2692 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2832 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2833 I made some changes, though:
2834 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2835 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2836 that is a clear violation of policy.
2837 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2838 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2839 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2840 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2841 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2842 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2843 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2844 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2845 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2847 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3015 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3016 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3017 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3018 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3019 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3020 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3021 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3091 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
3092 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
3093 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3094 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3095 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3096 it's always available.

3103 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

3196 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3266 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3267 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3343 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3344 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3345 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3360 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3361 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3973 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3974 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3975 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4080 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4081 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4082 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4083 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4084 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4085 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4087 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4088 remove debian/files properly.
4089 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4090 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4091 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4092 * Removed bogus menu file.

4109 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4110 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should

4140 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4141 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4152 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4153 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4154 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4155 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4156 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4157 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4158 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4159 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4160 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4343 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4344 past week. Thanks, guys!
4346 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4347 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4348 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4349 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4350 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4351 would do in the same situation.
4352 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4353 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4355 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4357 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4358 permissions changed.
4359 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4360 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4361 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4362 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4363 files are treated identically.
4364 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4377 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4378 use -X multiple times, too.

4547 If you use this behavior, you should use "dh_testversion 0.66".

4640 argument processor in perl.

4651 type directories. (#16933)
4652 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
4653 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4654 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4655 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4656 are supported. (#16935)
4657 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

4671 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with

4674 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4675 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4676 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4677 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
4678 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

4682 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4684 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4685 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4686 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4688 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4689 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4690 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4691 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4692 a given package, or -i or -a.
4693 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4694 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4695 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4696 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4697 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4698 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4699 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4700 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4701 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4703 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4704 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

4727 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4728 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4729 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

4776 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4777 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4778 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4779 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4780 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4781 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

5009 the package build directory it is to act on.
