43 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150

66 * Non-maintainer upload.
68 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
69 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
70 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
71 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
72 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
73 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
74 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
75 specific python version. Closes: #373853
76 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
77 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
79 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
80 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
81 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
82 the not too-distant future).
83 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
84 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
85 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
86 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
87 thus made the build fail.

1783 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1784 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1785 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1786 dh_install, which ...
1787 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1788 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1789 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1790 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1791 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1792 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1793 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1794 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1795 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1796 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1797 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1798 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1799 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1800 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1801 other minor changes.
1802 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1803 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1804 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1805 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1806 course there's -X ..)
1807 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1808 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1811 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1812 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1814 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1815 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1862 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1863 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1890 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1892 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1893 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1894 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1895 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1896 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1897 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1898 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1899 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1900 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1901 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1902 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1903 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1904 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1905 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1906 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1907 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1909 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1944 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1945 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1946 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1947 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1948 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1949 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1950 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1951 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1952 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2128 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2129 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2130 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2131 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2132 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2133 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2134 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2135 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2136 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2137 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2138 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2139 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2140 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2161 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2162 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2163 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2164 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2165 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2166 program those options go to. So, for example,
2167 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2168 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2309 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2310 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2311 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2312 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2313 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2314 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2315 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2316 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2370 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2372 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2373 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2374 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2375 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2376 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2377 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2378 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2379 but is mildly deprecated.
2380 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2381 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2382 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2383 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2384 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2385 switching to statoverrides..
2386 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2387 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2388 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2389 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2390 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2391 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2393 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2394 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2395 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2396 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2397 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2398 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2399 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2400 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2401 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2403 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2404 variable names, pod man pages).
2405 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2406 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2407 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2408 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2409 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2410 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2411 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2484 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2545 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
2546 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
2547 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
2548 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain

2572 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2574 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2575 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2576 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2577 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2578 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2579 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2580 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2582 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2583 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2584 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2586 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2588 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2589 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2590 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2591 should now be raised to severity important..
2592 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2593 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2634 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2635 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2652 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2827 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2828 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2829 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2830 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2831 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2832 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2833 notice until v2 is complete.
2834 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2835 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2836 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2837 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2838 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2839 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2841 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2842 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2843 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3052 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3053 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3054 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3055 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3056 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3057 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3058 bits until all files have been registered.

3064 * dh_installmanpages:
3065 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3066 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3067 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3068 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3069 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3070 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3071 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3072 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3073 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3074 otherwise change the result at all.
3076 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3077 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3078 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3079 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3095 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3096 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3097 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3099 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3100 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3101 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3102 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3131 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,

3139 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3140 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3141 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

3195 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3196 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3197 I made some changes, though:
3198 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3199 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3200 that is a clear violation of policy.
3201 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3202 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3203 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3204 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3205 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3206 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3207 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3208 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3209 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3211 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3253 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3254 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3255 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3256 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3257 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3258 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3259 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3375 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3376 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3377 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3378 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3379 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3380 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3381 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3382 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3383 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3384 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3385 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3386 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3396 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3397 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3398 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3399 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3400 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3401 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3549 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3550 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3551 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3559 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3560 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3615 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3630 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3631 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3707 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3708 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3709 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3724 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3725 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3773 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3879 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4085 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
4086 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
4087 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages

4092 debhelper (1.2.24) unstable; urgency=low
4094 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4095 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4096 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4097 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

4122 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4123 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4124 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4125 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4126 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4127 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4128 suidregister actually supports it.
4129 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4130 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4143 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4144 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4145 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4146 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4147 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4148 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4149 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4150 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4178 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4179 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4180 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any

4316 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4317 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4318 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4319 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4334 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4335 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4336 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4337 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4338 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4339 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4340 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4376 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4377 sections of shared libraries.

4379 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4380 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

4382 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4383 things you don't want them to.

4705 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4706 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4707 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4708 past week. Thanks, guys!
4710 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4711 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4712 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4713 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4714 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4715 would do in the same situation.
4716 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4717 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4719 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4721 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4722 permissions changed.
4723 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4724 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4725 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4726 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4727 files are treated identically.
4728 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4729 * Minor man page fixes.
4730 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4741 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4742 use -X multiple times, too.

5038 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5039 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5040 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5041 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
5042 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

5049 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5052 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5053 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5054 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5055 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5056 a given package, or -i or -a.
5057 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5058 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5059 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5060 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5061 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5062 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5063 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5064 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5068 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5069 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5142 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5143 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5144 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

5321 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5322 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

5373 the package build directory it is to act on.

5375 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
