1067 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1068 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1069 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1070 dh_install, which ...
1071 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1072 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1073 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1074 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1075 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1076 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1077 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1078 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1079 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1080 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1081 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1082 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1083 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1084 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1085 other minor changes.
1086 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1087 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1088 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1089 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1090 course there's -X ..)
1091 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1092 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1093 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1095 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1096 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1097 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1098 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1099 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1174 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1176 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1177 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1178 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1179 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1180 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1181 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1182 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1183 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1184 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1185 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1186 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1187 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1188 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1189 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1190 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1191 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1193 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1228 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1229 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1230 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1231 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1232 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1233 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1234 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1235 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1596 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1597 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1598 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1599 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1656 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1657 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1658 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1659 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1660 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1662 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1663 but is mildly deprecated.
1664 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1665 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1666 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1667 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1668 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1669 switching to statoverrides..
1670 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1671 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1672 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1673 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1674 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1675 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1677 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1678 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1679 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1680 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1681 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1682 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1683 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1684 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1685 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1687 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1688 variable names, pod man pages).
1689 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1690 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1691 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1692 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1693 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1694 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1695 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1861 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1863 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1864 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1866 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1867 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1868 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1873 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1874 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2045 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

2111 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2112 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2113 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2114 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2115 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2116 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2117 notice until v2 is complete.
2118 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2119 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2120 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2121 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2122 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2123 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2125 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2126 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2127 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2128 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2249 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2250 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2252 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2253 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2254 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2255 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2256 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2338 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2339 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2340 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2341 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2342 bits until all files have been registered.

2352 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2353 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2354 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2355 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2356 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2357 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2358 otherwise change the result at all.
2360 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2361 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2362 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2481 I made some changes, though:
2482 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2483 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2484 that is a clear violation of policy.
2485 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2486 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2487 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2488 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2489 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2490 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2491 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2492 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2493 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2495 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2660 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2661 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2662 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2663 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2664 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2665 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2666 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2667 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2668 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2669 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2670 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2682 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2683 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2684 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2685 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3588 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
3589 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3590 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3591 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

3599 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3600 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3601 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3602 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3603 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3616 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3617 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3618 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3619 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3620 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3621 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3622 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3623 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3624 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3660 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3661 sections of shared libraries.
3662 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3663 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3664 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3665 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3666 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3667 things you don't want them to.

3730 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3731 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3732 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3806 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3807 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3808 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3994 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3995 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3996 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3997 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3998 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3999 would do in the same situation.
4000 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4001 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

4005 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

4010 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4011 files are treated identically.

4339 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4340 a given package, or -i or -a.
4341 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4342 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4346 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4553 * Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README.
4554 (#13990) Thanks, Adrian.

4560 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4561 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4562 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4563 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4564 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4568 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4570 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4571 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4572 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4573 multiple binary packages.
4574 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4575 should rebuild them with this version.
4576 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4582 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
4583 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

4594 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4596 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4597 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4598 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4599 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4600 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4601 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4602 debian/README.debian.
4603 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4604 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4605 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4606 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4607 in a few situations.)

4611 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
4613 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

4617 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

4630 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
4632 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
4633 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
4634 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

4638 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4640 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4641 is ready for general use.
4642 * Added man pages for all commands.
4643 * Multiple binary package support.
4644 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4645 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4646 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4648 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4649 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4650 auto-installed as parameters.
4651 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4653 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4656 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4657 the package build directory it is to act on.
4658 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4659 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4660 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
