35 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
36 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
37 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

192 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1514 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1515 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1516 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1517 dh_install, which ...
1518 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1519 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1520 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1521 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1522 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1523 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1524 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1525 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1526 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1527 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1528 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1529 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1530 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1531 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1532 other minor changes.
1533 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1534 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1535 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1536 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of

1539 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1542 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1543 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1590 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1591 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1592 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1593 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1594 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1621 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1623 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1624 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1625 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1626 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1627 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1628 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1629 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1630 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1631 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1632 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1633 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1634 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1635 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1636 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1637 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1638 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1640 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1675 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1676 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1677 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1678 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1679 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1680 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1681 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1682 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1683 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1864 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1865 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some

1867 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1868 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

1895 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1896 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1897 program those options go to. So, for example,
1898 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2043 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2044 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2045 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2046 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2047 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2048 Closes: #88464, #77743
2049 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2050 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2051 us to deal with that gracefully.

2054 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197
2055 * dh_installdocs and dh_link have been able to make doc-dir symlinks for
2056 a while, Closes: #51225

2101 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2103 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2104 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2105 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2106 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2107 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2108 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2109 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2110 but is mildly deprecated.
2111 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2112 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2113 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2114 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2115 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2116 switching to statoverrides..
2117 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2118 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2119 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2120 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2121 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2122 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2124 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2125 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2126 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2127 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2128 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2129 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2130 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2131 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2132 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2134 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2135 variable names, pod man pages).
2136 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2137 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2138 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2139 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2140 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2141 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2142 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2214 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2215 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2217 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2307 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2308 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2309 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2310 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2311 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2313 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2314 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2315 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2317 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2319 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2320 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2321 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2322 should now be raised to severity important..

2366 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2558 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2559 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2560 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2561 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2562 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2563 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2564 notice until v2 is complete.
2565 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2566 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2567 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2568 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2569 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2570 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2572 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2573 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2574 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2575 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2699 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2701 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2702 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2786 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2787 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2788 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2789 bits until all files have been registered.

2800 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2801 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2802 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2803 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2804 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2805 otherwise change the result at all.
2807 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2808 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2928 I made some changes, though:
2929 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2930 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2931 that is a clear violation of policy.
2932 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2933 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2934 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2935 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2936 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2937 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2938 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2939 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2940 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2942 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3064 a strict reading of the emacsen policy indicates that such a test
3065 shouldn't be needed, there may be edge cases (cf bug 44924), where it

3105 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3106 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3107 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3108 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3109 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3110 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3111 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3112 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3113 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3114 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3115 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3116 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3117 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3123 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3124 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3125 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3127 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3128 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3129 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3130 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3131 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3132 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3135 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4063 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4064 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4065 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4066 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4067 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4068 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4069 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4070 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4071 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4083 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
4084 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

4107 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4108 sections of shared libraries.
4109 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4110 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4111 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4112 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4113 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4114 things you don't want them to.

4175 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4176 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4177 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4178 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4179 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4180 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4182 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4183 remove debian/files properly.
4184 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

4253 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4254 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4255 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4441 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4442 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4443 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4444 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4445 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4446 would do in the same situation.
4447 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4448 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4450 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4452 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4453 permissions changed.

4455 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4456 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4457 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4458 files are treated identically.

4784 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4785 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4786 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4787 a given package, or -i or -a.
4788 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4789 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4790 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4791 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4792 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4793 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4795 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5041 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5043 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5044 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5045 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5046 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5047 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5048 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5049 debian/README.debian.
5050 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5051 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5052 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5053 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5054 in a few situations.)

5058 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5060 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

5064 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5070 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low

5077 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5079 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
5080 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
5081 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

5085 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5087 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5088 is ready for general use.
5089 * Added man pages for all commands.
5090 * Multiple binary package support.
5091 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5092 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5093 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5095 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5096 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5097 auto-installed as parameters.
5098 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5100 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5103 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5104 the package build directory it is to act on.
5105 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5106 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5107 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
