268 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1588 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1590 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1591 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1592 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1593 dh_install, which ...
1594 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1595 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1596 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1597 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1598 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1599 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1600 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1601 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1602 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1603 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1604 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1605 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1606 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1607 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1608 other minor changes.
1609 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1610 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1611 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1612 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1613 course there's -X ..)
1614 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1615 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1616 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1618 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1619 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1620 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1621 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1622 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1667 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1669 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1670 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1697 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1699 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1700 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1701 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1702 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1703 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1704 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1705 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1706 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1707 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1708 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1709 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1710 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1711 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1712 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1713 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1714 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1716 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1751 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1752 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1753 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1754 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1755 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1756 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1757 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1758 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1759 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2117 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2118 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2119 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2120 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2121 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2122 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2177 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2179 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2180 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2181 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2182 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2183 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2184 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2185 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2186 but is mildly deprecated.
2187 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2188 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2189 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2190 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2191 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2192 switching to statoverrides..
2193 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2194 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2195 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2196 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2197 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2198 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2200 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2201 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2202 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2203 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2204 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2205 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2206 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2207 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2208 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2210 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2211 variable names, pod man pages).
2212 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2213 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2214 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2215 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2216 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2217 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2218 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2384 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2387 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2389 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2390 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2391 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2634 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2635 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2636 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2637 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2638 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2639 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2640 notice until v2 is complete.
2641 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2642 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2643 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2644 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2645 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2646 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2648 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2649 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2650 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2651 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2862 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2863 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2864 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2865 bits until all files have been registered.

3004 I made some changes, though:
3005 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3006 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3007 that is a clear violation of policy.
3008 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3009 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3010 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3011 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3012 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3013 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3014 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3015 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3016 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3018 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3060 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3061 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3062 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

3183 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3184 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3185 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3186 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3187 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3188 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3189 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3190 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3191 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3192 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3193 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4063 * The perl conversion is complete.
4065 * dh_compress: perlized (yay, perl has readlink, no more ls -l | awk
4067 * dh_lib, dh_getopt.pl: deleted, nothing uses them anymore.
4068 * debian/rules: don't install above 2 files.

4111 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
4112 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4113 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4114 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4115 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
4116 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

4122 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4123 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4124 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4125 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4126 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4139 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4140 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4141 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4142 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4143 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4144 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4145 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4146 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4147 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4160 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

4181 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
4183 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4184 sections of shared libraries.
4185 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4186 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4187 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4188 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4189 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4190 things you don't want them to.
4191 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4192 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4219 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4220 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4221 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

4251 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4252 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4253 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4254 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4255 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4256 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4258 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4259 remove debian/files properly.
4260 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4261 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4262 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4263 * Removed bogus menu file.

4279 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4280 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4312 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4323 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.

4325 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4326 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4327 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4328 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4329 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4330 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4331 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4332 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4333 passed any switches.

4345 large chunks in the process.
4346 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4347 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4514 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4515 past week. Thanks, guys!
4517 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4518 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4519 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4520 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4521 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4522 would do in the same situation.
4523 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4524 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4526 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4528 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4529 permissions changed.

4531 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4532 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4533 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4534 files are treated identically.
4535 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4548 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4549 use -X multiple times, too.
4550 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4551 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5083 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5084 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5085 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

5091 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5093 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5094 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5095 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5096 multiple binary packages.
5097 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5098 should rebuild them with this version.
5099 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5117 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5119 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5120 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5121 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5122 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5123 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5124 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5125 debian/README.debian.
5126 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5127 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5128 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5129 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5130 in a few situations.)

5161 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5163 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5164 is ready for general use.
5165 * Added man pages for all commands.
5166 * Multiple binary package support.
5167 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5168 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5169 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5171 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5172 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5173 auto-installed as parameters.
5174 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5176 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5179 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5180 the package build directory it is to act on.
5181 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5182 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5183 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
