29 existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is

84 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
85 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
87 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
88 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
89 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
90 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
91 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
92 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
93 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
94 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
95 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

104 package install. Closes: #415717
105 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
106 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
107 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
108 script and then remove the python files.
109 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
110 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
111 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
112 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
113 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
114 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
115 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
116 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
117 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
118 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
119 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250

237 * Non-maintainer upload.
238 * Update of dh_python
239 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
240 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
241 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
242 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
243 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
244 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
245 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
246 specific python version. Closes: #373853
247 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
248 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
250 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
251 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
252 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
253 the not too-distant future).
254 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
255 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
256 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
257 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

630 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
631 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
632 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1954 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1955 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1956 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1957 dh_install, which ...
1958 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1959 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1960 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1961 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1962 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1963 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1964 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1965 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1966 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1967 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1968 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1969 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1970 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1971 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1972 other minor changes.
1973 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1974 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1975 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1976 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1977 course there's -X ..)
1978 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1979 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1980 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1982 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1983 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1984 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1985 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1986 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2033 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2034 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2061 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2063 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2064 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2065 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2066 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2067 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2068 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2069 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2070 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2071 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2072 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2073 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2074 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2075 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2076 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2077 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2078 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2080 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2113 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2115 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2116 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2117 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2118 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2119 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2120 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2121 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2122 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2123 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2307 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't

2335 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2336 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2337 program those options go to. So, for example,
2338 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2541 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2543 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2544 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2545 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2546 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2547 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2548 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2549 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2550 but is mildly deprecated.
2551 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2552 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2553 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2554 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2555 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2556 switching to statoverrides..
2557 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2558 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2559 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2560 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2561 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2562 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2564 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2565 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2566 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2567 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2568 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2569 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2570 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2571 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2572 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2574 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2575 variable names, pod man pages).
2576 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2577 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2578 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2579 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2580 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2581 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2582 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2654 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2655 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2657 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2658 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

2748 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2753 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2754 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2755 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2998 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2999 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3000 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3001 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3002 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3003 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3004 notice until v2 is complete.
3005 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3006 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3007 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3008 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3009 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3010 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3141 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3142 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3143 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3225 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3226 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3227 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3228 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3229 bits until all files have been registered.

3239 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3240 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3241 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3243 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3244 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3245 otherwise change the result at all.
3247 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3248 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3367 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3368 I made some changes, though:
3369 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3370 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3371 that is a clear violation of policy.
3372 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3373 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3374 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3375 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3376 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3377 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3378 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3379 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3380 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3382 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3548 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3549 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3550 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3551 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3552 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3553 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3554 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3555 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3556 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3557 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3563 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3564 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3565 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3567 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3568 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3569 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3570 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3571 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3572 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3574 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3575 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4508 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4509 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4510 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4552 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4553 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4554 things you don't want them to.
4555 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4556 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4617 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4618 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4619 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4878 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4879 past week. Thanks, guys!
4881 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4882 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4883 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4884 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4885 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4886 would do in the same situation.

4888 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

4892 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

4895 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4896 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4897 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4898 files are treated identically.

5226 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5227 a given package, or -i or -a.
5228 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5229 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5230 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5231 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5233 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5235 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5540 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5543 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5544 the package build directory it is to act on.
5545 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5546 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5547 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
