815 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained

817 dh_install, which ...
818 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
819 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
820 mess, as it uses debian/install.
821 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
822 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
823 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
824 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
825 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
826 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
827 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
828 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
829 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
830 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
831 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
833 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
834 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
835 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
836 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
837 course there's -X ..)
838 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
839 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
840 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
842 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
843 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

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

921 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
923 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
924 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
925 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
926 line, as well as in debian/rules.
927 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
928 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
929 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
930 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
931 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
932 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
933 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
934 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
935 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
936 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
937 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
938 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
940 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

957 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
958 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

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

1157 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1159 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1160 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1161 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1162 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1163 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1164 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1165 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1166 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1167 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1168 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1169 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1170 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1171 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1189 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
1191 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1192 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1193 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1194 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1195 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1196 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1197 program those options go to. So, for example,
1198 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1199 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1200 something complex. Closes: #89311

1210 undocumented interface. Closes: #95387

1229 debhelper (3.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
1231 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
1232 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings
1233 breaks things since they LD_PRELOAD a library that is specified in the
1234 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494

1264 The program generates better results, and won't annoy the people who

1266 whole other set of people, I'm sure. Closes: #93747

1319 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
1320 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
1321 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which

1337 * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture.
1338 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
1339 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
1340 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1341 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1342 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1343 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1344 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1345 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1346 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1347 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1348 Closes: #88464, #77743
1349 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
1350 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
1351 us to deal with that gracefully.
1352 * dh_makeshlibs: now uses objdump, should be more accurate. Closes:
1354 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197

1387 * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current

1401 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1403 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1404 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1405 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1406 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1407 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1408 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1409 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1410 but is mildly deprecated.
1411 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1412 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1413 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1414 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1415 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1416 switching to statoverrides..
1417 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1418 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1419 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1420 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1421 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1422 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1424 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1425 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1426 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1427 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1428 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1429 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1430 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1431 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1432 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1434 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1435 variable names, pod man pages).
1436 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1437 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1438 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1439 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1440 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1441 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1442 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1514 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1515 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1605 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
1606 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
1607 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
1608 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1609 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1610 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1611 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1613 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1614 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1615 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1617 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
1619 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
1620 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1621 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1622 should now be raised to severity important..
1623 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
1624 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

1665 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
1666 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

1682 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
1683 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
1684 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

1858 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1859 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1860 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1861 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1862 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1863 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1864 notice until v2 is complete.
1865 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1866 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1867 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1868 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1869 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1870 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1872 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

2083 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2084 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2085 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2086 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2087 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2088 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2089 bits until all files have been registered.

2095 * dh_installmanpages:
2096 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
2097 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
2098 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2099 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2100 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2101 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2102 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2103 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2104 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2105 otherwise change the result at all.
2107 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2108 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2109 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2110 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

2126 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
2127 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2128 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2130 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2131 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2132 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2133 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2162 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
2163 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

2169 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
2170 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
2171 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2172 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

2226 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
2227 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2228 I made some changes, though:
2229 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2230 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2231 that is a clear violation of policy.
2232 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2233 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2234 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2235 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2236 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2237 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2238 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2239 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2240 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2242 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2284 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2285 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2286 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2287 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2288 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2289 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
2290 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

2406 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2407 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2408 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2409 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2410 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2411 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2412 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2413 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2414 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2415 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2416 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2417 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2424 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2425 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2427 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2428 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2429 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2430 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2431 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2432 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

2580 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
2581 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
2582 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

2590 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
2591 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
2592 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
2593 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

2627 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
2628 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
2629 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

2646 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

2658 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
2659 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
2660 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
2661 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
2662 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
2663 * debhelper.1: documented this.
2664 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
2665 current compatability level is equal to that number.
2666 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.

2692 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
2693 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
2694 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
2695 more than 1 init script.

2738 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
2739 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
2740 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

2755 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
2756 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

2802 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
2803 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
2804 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

2806 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

2910 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3155 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

3368 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3369 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3370 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

3551 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3552 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3553 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3554 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3555 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
3556 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
3557 passed any switches.
3558 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

3738 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3739 past week. Thanks, guys!
3741 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3742 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3743 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3744 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3745 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3746 would do in the same situation.
3747 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3748 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3750 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3752 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3753 permissions changed.
3754 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3755 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3756 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3757 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3758 files are treated identically.
3759 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

3772 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3773 use -X multiple times, too.

4047 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
4048 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4049 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4050 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4051 are supported. (#16935)
4052 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

4086 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4087 a given package, or -i or -a.

4089 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4091 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

4093 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4174 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4175 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
