7 debhelper (7.9.2) unstable; urgency=low
9 * In v8 mode, stop passing packlist=0 in perl_makemaker buildsystem,
10 since perl_build is tried first. Avoids the makemaker warning message
11 introduced by the fix to #527990.

15 debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
17 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
18 changes are planned for that mode.
19 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
20 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
21 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
22 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
23 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
24 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
25 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
26 (genesis) still uses them.
27 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
28 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
29 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
30 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
31 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
32 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
33 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
34 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
35 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
36 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
37 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
38 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
39 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
40 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
41 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
42 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
43 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
44 commands. (See #570039)
45 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
47 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

52 debhelper (7.4.20) unstable; urgency=low
54 * Drop one more call to dpkg-architecture. Closes: #580837
56 * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,
57 in a typical package with no explicit architecture mentions
58 in control file or debhelper config files.
59 * dh_perl: use debian_abi for XS modules. Closes: #581233

66 dpkg-architecture at all for simple comparisons that clearly
67 do not involve architecture wildcards. Closes:# 579317

86 debhelper (7.4.16) unstable; urgency=low
88 * Updated French translation.
89 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
90 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
91 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
92 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
94 * Typo. Closes: #571968
95 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
96 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
97 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
98 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
99 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
100 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
101 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
102 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702
103 * dh: Allow --list-addons to be used when not in a source package.
105 * dh: Improve documentation.

133 * dh_bugfiles: Doc typo. Closes: #563269
134 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
135 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
136 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
137 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
138 options that they do not support.
139 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
140 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
141 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
142 (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)
143 * qmake: New buildsystem contributed by Kel Modderman. Closes: #566840
144 * Fix typo in call to abs2rel in --builddir sanitize code.

155 * dh_installman: Avoid doubled slashes in path. Closes: #561275
156 * dh_installxfonts: Use new update-fonts-alias --include and
157 --exclude options to better handle removal in the case where
158 xfonts-utils is removed before a font package is purged.

167 * Add --parallel option that can be used to enable parallel building
168 without limiting the max number of parallel jobs. (Modestas Vainius)
169 * dh_makeshlibs: Temporarily revert fix for #557603, as it caused
170 dpkg-gensymbols to see libraries not in the regular search path and
171 broke builds. This will be re-enabled in v8. Closes: #560217

183 debhelper (7.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
185 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
186 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
187 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)
188 * dh: Document --no-act. Closes: #557505

194 debhelper (7.4.7) unstable; urgency=low
196 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
197 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop
198 after it sees one line of output from make. (This may be better replaced
199 with dh's makefile parser in the future.) Closes: #557307

217 debhelper (7.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
219 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
220 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
221 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
222 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
223 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
224 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
225 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
226 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
227 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
228 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
229 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
230 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
231 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
232 time soon.) Closes: #554509
233 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
235 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
236 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
237 * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
238 document id. Closes: #555677
239 * Typo. Closes: #555659
240 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
241 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
242 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
243 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
245 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
246 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
247 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

266 * Allow dpkg-architecture to print errors to stderr. Closes: #548636
267 * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force
268 to setup.py install to ensure that timestamps do not prevent installation
269 of the scripts built for the default python, with unversioned shebang

277 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
278 (It was only run once due to logging.)
279 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
280 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
281 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
282 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
283 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
284 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
285 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
286 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
287 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev

304 debhelper (7.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
306 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
307 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
308 flag with arch all/any packages.
309 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
310 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
311 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
312 situation. Closes: #540794

322 it's documented to accept). Closes: #543499
323 * Allow sequence addons to pass options to debhelper commands,
324 by adding add_command_options and remove_command_options to the interface.

467 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
468 contributed by Modestas Vainius
469 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
470 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
471 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
472 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
473 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
474 that support it. Closes: #480577
475 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
476 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
477 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
479 - Adds support for cmake.
480 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
481 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
483 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
485 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
486 that use them. The options are:
487 --sourcedir, --destdir
488 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
489 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
490 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
491 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
492 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

558 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
559 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
560 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
561 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
562 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
563 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

766 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
767 that uses them. Affected options are:
768 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,

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

1467 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the

1470 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1471 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3023 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
3024 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
3025 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
3026 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
3027 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
3028 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

3173 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3174 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3175 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3176 dh_install, which ...
3177 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3178 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3179 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3180 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3181 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3182 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3183 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3184 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3185 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3186 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3187 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3188 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3189 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3190 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3191 other minor changes.
3192 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3193 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3194 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3195 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3196 course there's -X ..)
3197 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3198 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3199 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3201 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3202 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3203 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3204 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3205 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3249 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3250 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3251 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3252 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3253 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3280 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3282 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3283 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3284 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3285 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3286 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3287 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3288 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3289 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3290 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3291 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3292 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3293 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3294 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3295 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3296 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3297 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3299 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3316 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3317 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3318 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3319 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3320 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

3332 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3334 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3335 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3336 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3337 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3338 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3339 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3340 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3341 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3342 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3516 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3518 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3519 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3520 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3521 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3522 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3523 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3524 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3525 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3526 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3527 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3528 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3529 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3530 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3550 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3551 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3552 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3553 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3554 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3555 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3556 program those options go to. So, for example,
3557 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3558 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3559 something complex. Closes: #89311

3700 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3701 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3702 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3703 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3704 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3705 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3760 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3762 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3763 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3764 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3765 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3766 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3767 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3768 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3769 but is mildly deprecated.
3770 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3771 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3772 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3773 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3774 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3775 switching to statoverrides..
3776 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3777 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3778 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3779 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3780 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3781 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3783 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3784 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3785 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3786 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3787 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3788 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3789 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3790 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3791 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3793 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3794 variable names, pod man pages).
3795 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3796 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3797 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3798 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3799 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3800 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3801 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3967 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3969 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3970 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3972 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3973 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3974 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3979 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3980 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3981 should now be raised to severity important..
3982 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3983 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4023 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
4024 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4025 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4026 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4039 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
4040 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.

4042 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

4151 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

4217 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4218 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4219 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4220 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4221 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4222 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4223 notice until v2 is complete.
4224 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4225 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4226 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4227 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4228 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4229 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4231 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4232 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4233 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4355 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4356 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4358 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4360 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4361 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4445 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4446 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4447 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4448 bits until all files have been registered.

4460 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4461 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100

4463 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4464 otherwise change the result at all.
4466 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4467 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4587 I made some changes, though:
4588 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4589 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4590 that is a clear violation of policy.
4591 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4592 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4593 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4594 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4595 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4596 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4597 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4598 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4599 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4601 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4643 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4644 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4645 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4646 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4647 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4769 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4770 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4771 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4772 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4773 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4774 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4775 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4776 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4786 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

5001 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
5002 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
5003 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
5004 supported compatibility level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
5005 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

5018 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
5019 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5020 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5021 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
5022 * debhelper.1: documented this.
5023 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
5024 current compatibility level is equal to that number.
5025 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
5026 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.

5051 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
5052 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
5053 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
5054 more than 1 init script.

5097 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5098 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

5114 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5115 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5162 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
5163 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5510 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
5512 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5513 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5514 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5515 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
5516 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
5517 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
5518 suidregister actually supports it.
5519 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5520 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5533 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
5534 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
5535 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
5536 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5537 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5538 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5539 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
5540 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5568 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
5569 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
5570 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
5571 effect, either. (#30118)

5706 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5707 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5708 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5709 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5724 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5725 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5726 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5727 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5728 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5729 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5730 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5766 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5767 sections of shared libraries.
5768 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5769 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5770 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5771 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5772 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5773 things you don't want them to.

5837 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5838 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

6096 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6097 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6098 past week. Thanks, guys!
6100 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6101 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6102 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6103 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6104 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6105 would do in the same situation.
6106 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6107 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6109 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6111 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6112 permissions changed.
6113 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6114 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6115 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6116 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6117 files are treated identically.
6118 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6119 * Minor man page fixes.
6120 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6131 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6132 use -X multiple times, too.

6483 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
6484 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

6530 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6531 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6532 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6533 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6534 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6535 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6536 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6706 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6707 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6708 debian/README.debian.
6709 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6710 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6711 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6712 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

6759 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6762 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6763 the package build directory it is to act on.
6764 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6765 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6766 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
