738 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
739 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
740 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
741 dh_install, which ...
742 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
743 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
744 mess, as it uses debian/install.
745 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
746 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
747 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
748 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
749 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
750 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
751 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
752 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
753 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
754 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
755 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
757 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
758 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
759 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
760 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
761 course there's -X ..)
762 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
763 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
764 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
766 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
767 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

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

845 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
847 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
848 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
849 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
850 line, as well as in debian/rules.
851 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
852 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
853 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
854 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
855 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
856 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
857 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
858 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
859 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
860 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
861 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
862 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
864 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

881 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
882 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
883 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
884 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
885 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

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

1081 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1083 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1084 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1085 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1086 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1087 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1088 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1089 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1090 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1091 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1092 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1093 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1094 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1095 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1115 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1116 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1117 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1118 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1119 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1120 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1121 program those options go to. So, for example,
1122 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1123 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1124 something complex. Closes: #89311

1262 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

1264 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1265 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1266 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1267 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1268 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1269 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1270 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1271 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1272 Closes: #88464, #77743

1325 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1327 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1328 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1329 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1330 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1331 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1332 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1333 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1334 but is mildly deprecated.
1335 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1336 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1337 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1338 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1339 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1340 switching to statoverrides..
1341 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1342 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1343 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1344 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1345 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1346 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1348 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1349 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1350 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1351 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1352 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1353 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1354 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1355 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1356 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1358 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1359 variable names, pod man pages).
1360 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1361 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1362 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1363 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1364 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1365 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1366 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1438 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1439 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1533 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1534 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1535 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1537 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1538 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1539 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1541 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
1543 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
1544 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1545 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1546 should now be raised to severity important..
1547 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
1548 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

1589 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
1590 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
1591 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

1606 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
1607 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

1782 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1783 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1784 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1785 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1786 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1787 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1788 notice until v2 is complete.
1789 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1790 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1791 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1792 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1793 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1794 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1796 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1797 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1798 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2011 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2052 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2054 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2055 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2056 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2057 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2152 I made some changes, though:
2153 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2154 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2155 that is a clear violation of policy.
2156 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2157 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2158 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2159 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2160 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2161 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2162 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2163 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2164 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2166 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2334 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2335 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2336 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2337 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2338 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2339 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2340 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2341 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2551 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
2552 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
2553 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

2567 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.

2569 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
2570 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

2583 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
2584 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
2585 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
2586 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

2617 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
2618 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
2619 more than 1 init script.

2679 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
2680 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

2728 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3075 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
3077 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3078 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3079 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3080 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
3081 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
3082 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
3083 suidregister actually supports it.
3084 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
3085 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

3098 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
3099 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3100 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3101 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3102 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3103 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3104 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3105 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3133 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3134 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3135 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any

3272 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3273 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3274 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3289 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3290 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3291 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3292 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3293 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3294 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3295 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3331 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3332 sections of shared libraries.

3334 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3335 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3336 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3337 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3338 things you don't want them to.

3402 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3403 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3661 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3662 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3663 past week. Thanks, guys!
3665 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3666 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3667 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3668 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3669 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3670 would do in the same situation.
3671 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3672 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3674 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3676 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3677 permissions changed.
3678 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3679 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3680 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3681 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3682 files are treated identically.
3683 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

3696 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3697 use -X multiple times, too.

4046 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4047 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4048 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
4049 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

4061 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
4062 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
4063 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
4064 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
4065 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789
4066 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files,

4073 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
4074 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
4075 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.

4095 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4096 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4097 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4098 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4099 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4100 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4101 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4176 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4177 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4178 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4179 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4180 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4233 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

4241 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4242 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4243 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4244 multiple binary packages.
4245 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4246 should rebuild them with this version.

4267 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4268 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4269 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4270 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4271 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4272 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4273 debian/README.debian.
4274 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4275 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4276 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4277 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4278 in a few situations.)

4311 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4312 is ready for general use.
4313 * Added man pages for all commands.
4314 * Multiple binary package support.
4315 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4316 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4317 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4319 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4320 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4321 auto-installed as parameters.
4322 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4324 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4327 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4328 the package build directory it is to act on.
4329 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4330 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4331 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
