12 * dh_shlibdeps: Rather than skipping everything in /usr/lib/debug,
13 which can include debug libraries that dpkg-shlibdeps should look at,
14 only skip the subdirectories of it that contain separate debugging
15 symbols. (Hardcoding the names of those directories is not the best
16 implementation, but it will do for now.) Closes: #461339

40 * dh_shlibdeps: Update documentation for -L and -l. dpkg-shlibdeps is now
41 much smarter, and these options are almost never needed. Closes: #459226
42 * dh_shlibdeps: If a relative path is specified in -l, don't prepend the pwd
43 to it, instead just prepend a slash to make it absolute. dpkg-shlibdeps
44 has changed how it used LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so making it point into the
45 package build directory won't work.
46 * dh_shlibdeps: Change "-L pkg" to cause "-Sdebian/pkg" to be passed to
47 dpkg-shlibdeps. The old behavior of passing -L to dpkg-shlibdeps didn't
48 affect where it looked for symbols files. Closes: #459224

226 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
227 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
229 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
230 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
231 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
232 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
233 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
234 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
235 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
236 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
237 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

239 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

246 package install. Closes: #415717
247 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
248 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
249 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
250 script and then remove the python files.
251 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
252 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
253 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
254 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
255 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
256 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
257 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
258 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
259 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
260 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
261 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
262 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
263 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

354 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
355 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
356 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
357 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.

379 * Non-maintainer upload.
380 * Update of dh_python
381 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
382 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
383 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
384 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
385 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
386 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
387 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
388 specific python version. Closes: #373853
389 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
390 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
392 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
393 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
394 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
395 the not too-distant future).
396 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
397 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
398 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
399 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

618 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
619 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

774 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2060 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
2061 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
2062 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
2063 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
2064 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
2065 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
2066 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
2067 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
2068 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

2094 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2096 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2097 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2098 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2099 dh_install, which ...
2100 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2101 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2102 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2103 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2104 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2105 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2106 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2107 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2108 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2109 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2110 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2111 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2112 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2113 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2114 other minor changes.
2115 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2116 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2117 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2118 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2119 course there's -X ..)
2120 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2121 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2122 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2124 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2125 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2126 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2127 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2128 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2170 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
2172 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2173 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2174 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2175 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2176 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
2178 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
2179 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

2203 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2205 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2206 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2207 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2208 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2209 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2210 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2211 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2212 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2213 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2214 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2215 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2216 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2217 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2218 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2219 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2220 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2222 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2236 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
2238 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2239 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2240 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2241 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2242 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2243 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
2244 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

2255 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2257 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2258 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2259 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2260 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2261 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2262 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2263 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2264 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2265 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
2266 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message

2444 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2445 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2446 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2447 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2448 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2449 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2450 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2451 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2477 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2478 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2479 program those options go to. So, for example,
2480 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2625 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2626 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2627 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is

2685 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2686 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2687 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2688 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2689 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2691 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2692 but is mildly deprecated.
2693 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2694 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2695 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2696 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2697 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2698 switching to statoverrides..
2699 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2700 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2701 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2702 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2703 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2704 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2706 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2707 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2708 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2709 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2710 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2711 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2712 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2713 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2714 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2716 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2717 variable names, pod man pages).
2718 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2719 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2720 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2721 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2722 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2723 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2724 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2890 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2896 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in

3073 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
3074 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

3138 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3140 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3141 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3142 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3143 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3144 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3145 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3146 notice until v2 is complete.
3147 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3148 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3149 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3150 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3151 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3152 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3154 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3155 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3156 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3157 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3274 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
3275 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
3276 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3277 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3278 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3279 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3281 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3282 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3283 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3284 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3285 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3367 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3368 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3369 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3370 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3371 bits until all files have been registered.

3380 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3381 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3382 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3383 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3384 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3385 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3386 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3387 otherwise change the result at all.
3389 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3390 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3391 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3412 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to

3510 I made some changes, though:
3511 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3512 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3513 that is a clear violation of policy.
3514 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3515 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3516 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3517 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3518 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3519 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3520 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3521 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3522 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3524 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3543 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3544 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
3545 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

3565 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
3566 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3567 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3568 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3569 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3570 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3571 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

3688 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3689 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3690 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3691 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3692 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3693 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3694 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3695 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3696 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3697 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3698 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3699 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3706 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3707 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3709 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3710 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3711 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3712 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3713 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3714 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4629 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4630 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4631 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4632 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4646 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4647 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4648 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4649 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4650 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4651 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4652 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4653 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4689 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4690 sections of shared libraries.
4691 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4692 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4693 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4694 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4695 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4696 things you don't want them to.

4759 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4760 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4761 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4762 I apologize for the inconvenience.

4832 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4833 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4834 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4835 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4836 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4837 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4839 passed any switches.

5024 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5025 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5026 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5027 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd

5030 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5032 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5034 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5035 permissions changed.
5036 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5037 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5038 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5039 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5040 files are treated identically.
5041 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5053 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5054 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5055 use -X multiple times, too.
5056 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5057 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5527 * dh_installmenu.1: menufile is in section 5, not 1.

5533 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5534 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5535 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5536 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5537 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5538 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5589 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5590 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5591 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5592 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5593 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5597 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5599 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5600 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5601 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5602 multiple binary packages.
5603 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5604 should rebuild them with this version.
5605 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5623 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5625 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5626 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5627 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5628 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5629 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5630 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5631 debian/README.debian.
5632 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5633 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5634 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5635 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5636 in a few situations.)

5667 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5669 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5670 is ready for general use.
5671 * Added man pages for all commands.
5672 * Multiple binary package support.
5673 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5674 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5675 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5677 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5678 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5679 auto-installed as parameters.
5680 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5682 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5685 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5686 the package build directory it is to act on.
5687 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5688 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5689 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
