3 * dh_gencontrol: Stop passing -isp, it's the default now. Closes: #458114
4 * dh_shlibdeps: Update documentation for -L and -l. dpkg-shlibdeps is now

6 * dh_shlibdeps: If a relative path is specified in -l, don't prepend the pwd
7 to it, instead just prepend a slash to make it absolute. dpkg-shlibdeps
8 has changed how it used LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so making it point into the
9 package build directory won't work.

183 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most

186 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
187 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

191 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.

204 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
205 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
206 script and then remove the python files.
207 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
208 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
209 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
210 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
211 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
212 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
213 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
214 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
215 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
216 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

336 * Update of dh_python
337 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
338 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
339 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
340 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
341 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
342 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
343 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
344 specific python version. Closes: #373853
345 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
346 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
348 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
349 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
350 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
351 the not too-distant future).
352 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
353 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

520 the dh_installdebconf manpage
521 * Add -f option to force .pot file re-building. This is in waiting
522 a patch, correcting a bug in po4a_0.23.1
523 * Add --rm-backups in clean: Otherwise ll.po~ are included in the
524 source package. (see debhelper_5.0.22.tar.gz)

530 * dh_strip: remove binutils build-dep lines since stable has a new enough
531 version. Closes: #350607
532 * dh_installdebconf: drop all support for old-style translated debconf
533 templates files via debconf-mergetemplate (keep a warning if any are
534 found, for now). Allows dropping debhelper's dependency on
535 debconf-utils. Closes: #331796

568 debhelper (5.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
570 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
571 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
572 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
573 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
574 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
575 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
576 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

605 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
606 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
607 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
608 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
609 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
610 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
611 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

622 * dh_link: add special case handling for link to /
625 * dh_python: make use of python-support for packages providing private
626 modules or python-only modules. This should greatly reduce the
627 number of packages needing to transition together with python.
628 * postinst-python: don't build the .pyo files, they aren't even used!
629 * dh_gconf: add support for debian/package.gconf-defaults, to provide
630 defaults for a package without patching the schemas.

724 debhelper (5.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
726 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
727 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
728 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
729 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
730 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
731 * debhelper.1: Explicitly document that docs describe latest compat
732 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the
733 "Debhelper compatibility levels" section of debhelper.1. Closes: #336906

865 still being determined, and will be until debhelper version 5.0 is

867 * dh_strip: In v5, make --dbg-package specify a single debugging package

2056 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2057 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2058 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2059 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2060 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2061 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2062 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2063 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2064 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2065 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2066 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2067 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2068 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2069 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2070 other minor changes.
2071 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2072 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2073 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2074 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2075 course there's -X ..)
2076 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2077 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2078 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2080 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2081 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2082 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2083 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2084 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2159 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2161 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2162 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2163 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2164 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2165 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2166 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2167 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2168 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2169 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2170 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2171 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2172 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2173 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2174 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2175 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2176 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2178 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2213 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2214 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2215 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2216 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2217 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2218 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2219 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2220 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2221 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2579 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2580 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2581 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2582 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2583 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2584 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2641 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2642 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2643 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2644 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2645 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2647 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2648 but is mildly deprecated.
2649 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2650 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2651 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2652 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2653 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2654 switching to statoverrides..
2655 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2656 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2657 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2658 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2659 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2660 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2662 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2663 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2664 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2665 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2666 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2667 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2668 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2669 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2670 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2672 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2673 variable names, pod man pages).
2674 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2675 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2676 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2677 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2678 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2679 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2680 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2846 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2852 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2853 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3096 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3097 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3098 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3099 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3100 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3101 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3102 notice until v2 is complete.
3103 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3104 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3105 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3106 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3107 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3108 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3110 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3111 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3112 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3324 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3325 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3326 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3327 bits until all files have been registered.

3466 I made some changes, though:
3467 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3468 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3469 that is a clear violation of policy.
3470 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3471 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3472 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3473 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3474 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3475 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3476 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3477 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3478 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3480 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3643 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3644 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3645 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3646 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3647 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3648 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3649 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3650 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3651 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3652 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3653 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3654 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3655 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3661 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3662 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3663 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3665 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3666 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3667 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3668 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3669 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3670 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4574 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4575 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4576 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4577 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

4584 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4585 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4586 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4587 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4588 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4601 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4602 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4603 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4604 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4605 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4606 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4607 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4608 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4609 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4648 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4649 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4650 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4651 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4652 things you don't want them to.

4715 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4716 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4717 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4791 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4792 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4793 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4980 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4981 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4982 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4983 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4984 would do in the same situation.

5325 a given package, or -i or -a.

5327 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5536 debhelper (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
5538 * Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README.
5539 (#13990) Thanks, Adrian.

5543 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
5545 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5546 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5547 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5548 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5549 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5553 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5555 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5556 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5557 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5558 multiple binary packages.
5559 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5560 should rebuild them with this version.
5561 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5565 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
5567 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.

5572 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
5574 * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file.

5579 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5581 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5582 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5583 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5584 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5585 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5586 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5587 debian/README.debian.
5588 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5589 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5590 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5591 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5592 in a few situations.)

5596 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5598 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

5602 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5615 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5617 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
5618 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
5619 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.
5621 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
5623 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5625 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5626 is ready for general use.
5627 * Added man pages for all commands.
5628 * Multiple binary package support.
5629 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5630 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5631 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5633 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5634 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5635 auto-installed as parameters.
5636 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5638 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5641 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5642 the package build directory it is to act on.
5643 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5644 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5645 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
