17 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

36 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
37 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
38 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
39 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
40 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
41 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
42 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
43 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
44 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

46 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
47 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants

98 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
100 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
101 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
102 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
103 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
104 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
105 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
106 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
107 but is mildly deprecated.
108 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
109 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
110 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
111 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
112 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
113 switching to statoverrides..
114 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
115 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
116 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
117 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
118 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
119 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
121 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
122 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
123 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
124 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
125 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
126 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
127 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
128 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
129 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
131 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
132 variable names, pod man pages).
133 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
134 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
135 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
136 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
137 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
138 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
139 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

209 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
210 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
211 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
212 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
213 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
214 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
215 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
216 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
217 it is an obsolete program.

304 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
305 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
306 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
307 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
308 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
310 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
311 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
312 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

317 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
318 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
319 should now be raised to severity important..

555 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
556 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
557 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
558 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
559 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
560 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
561 notice until v2 is complete.
562 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
563 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
564 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
565 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
566 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
567 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
569 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
570 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
571 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
572 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

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

798 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
799 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
800 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
801 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
802 otherwise change the result at all.
804 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
805 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

925 I made some changes, though:
926 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
927 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
928 that is a clear violation of policy.
929 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
930 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
931 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
932 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
933 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
934 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
935 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
936 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
937 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
939 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

1103 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
1104 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
1105 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
1106 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
1107 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
1108 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
1109 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
1110 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
1111 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
1112 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
1113 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
1114 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

1121 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
1122 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
1124 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
1125 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
1126 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
1127 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
1128 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
1129 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

1822 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
1823 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

1852 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

1856 suidregister actually supports it.

1874 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

2061 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
2062 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
2063 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
2064 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
2065 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
2066 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
2067 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
2068 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

2104 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
2105 sections of shared libraries.
2106 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
2107 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
2108 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
2109 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
2110 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
2111 things you don't want them to.

2172 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in

2174 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
2175 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
2176 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

2439 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
2440 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
2441 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
2442 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
2443 would do in the same situation.
2444 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
2445 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

2599 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
2600 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command

2732 argument processor in perl.

2745 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
2746 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
2747 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
2748 are supported. (#16935)

2763 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
2765 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
2766 version requirements in the shlibs file.
2767 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
2768 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
2769 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

2774 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
2776 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
2777 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
2778 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
2780 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
2781 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
2782 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
2783 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
2784 a given package, or -i or -a.
2785 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
2786 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
2787 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
2788 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
2789 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
2790 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
2791 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
2792 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
2793 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
2795 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
2796 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

2820 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

2847 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

2866 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
2868 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
2869 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
2870 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
2871 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
2872 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
2873 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

3043 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
3044 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
3045 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
3046 debian/README.debian.
3047 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
3048 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
3049 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
3050 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
3051 in a few situations.)

3082 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
3084 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
3085 is ready for general use.
3086 * Added man pages for all commands.
3087 * Multiple binary package support.
3088 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
3089 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
3090 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
3092 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
3093 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
3094 auto-installed as parameters.
3095 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
3097 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
3100 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
3101 the package build directory it is to act on.
3102 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
3103 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
3104 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
