174 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

192 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
193 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
194 script and then remove the python files.
195 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
196 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
197 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
198 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
199 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
200 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
201 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
202 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
203 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
204 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

325 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
326 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

328 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
329 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
330 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
331 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
332 specific python version. Closes: #373853
333 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
334 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
336 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
337 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
338 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
339 the not too-distant future).
340 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
341 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

562 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
563 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

718 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2048 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538

2050 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2051 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2052 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this

2055 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2056 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2057 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2058 other minor changes.
2059 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2060 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2061 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2062 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2063 course there's -X ..)
2064 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2065 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2066 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2068 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2069 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

2071 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

2117 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2119 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2120 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2147 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2149 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2150 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2151 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2152 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2153 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2154 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2155 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2156 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2157 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2158 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2159 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2160 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2161 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2162 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2163 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2164 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2166 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2201 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2202 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2203 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2204 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2205 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2206 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2207 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2208 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2209 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2393 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2394 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2395 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2546 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

2566 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2567 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2568 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2569 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2570 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2571 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2572 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2573 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2629 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2630 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2631 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2632 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2633 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2635 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2636 but is mildly deprecated.
2637 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2638 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2639 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2640 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2641 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2642 switching to statoverrides..
2643 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2644 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2645 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2646 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2647 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2648 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2650 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2651 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2652 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2653 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2654 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2655 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2656 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2657 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2658 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2660 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2661 variable names, pod man pages).
2662 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2663 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2664 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2665 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2666 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2667 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2668 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2834 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2835 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2836 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2837 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2839 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2840 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2841 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3084 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3085 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3086 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3087 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3088 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3089 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3090 notice until v2 is complete.
3091 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3092 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3093 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3094 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3095 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3096 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3098 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3099 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3100 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3225 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3228 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

3312 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3313 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3314 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3315 bits until all files have been registered.

3327 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3330 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3331 otherwise change the result at all.
3333 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3334 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3454 I made some changes, though:
3455 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3456 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3457 that is a clear violation of policy.
3458 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3459 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3460 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3461 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3462 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3463 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3464 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3465 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3466 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3468 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3636 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3637 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3638 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3639 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3640 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3641 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3642 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3643 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4559 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
4561 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
4562 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4563 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4564 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4565 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
4566 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

4570 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
4572 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4573 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4574 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4575 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4576 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4587 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
4589 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4590 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4591 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4592 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4593 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4594 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4595 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4596 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4597 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4607 debhelper (1.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
4609 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
4610 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
4611 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

4631 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
4633 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4634 sections of shared libraries.
4635 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4636 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4637 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4638 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4639 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4640 things you don't want them to.
4641 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4642 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4669 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4670 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4671 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

4701 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4702 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4703 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4704 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4705 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4706 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4708 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4709 remove debian/files properly.
4710 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4711 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4712 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4713 * Removed bogus menu file.

4730 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4762 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4776 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4777 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4778 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4779 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4780 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4781 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4782 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4783 passed any switches.

4795 large chunks in the process.
4796 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4797 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4964 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4965 past week. Thanks, guys!
4967 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4968 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4969 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4970 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4971 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4972 would do in the same situation.
4973 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4974 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4976 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4978 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4979 permissions changed.
4980 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4981 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4982 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4983 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4984 files are treated identically.

4999 use -X multiple times, too.

5312 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5313 a given package, or -i or -a.
5314 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5315 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5316 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5317 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5318 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5319 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5320 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5321 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5537 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5541 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5543 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5544 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5545 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5546 multiple binary packages.
5547 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5548 should rebuild them with this version.
5549 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5553 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low

5567 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5569 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5570 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5571 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5572 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5573 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5574 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5575 debian/README.debian.
5576 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5577 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5578 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5579 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5580 in a few situations.)

5584 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

5590 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5603 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5605 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to

5607 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.
5609 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
5611 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5613 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5614 is ready for general use.
5615 * Added man pages for all commands.
5616 * Multiple binary package support.
5617 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5618 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5619 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5621 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5622 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5623 auto-installed as parameters.
5624 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5626 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5629 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5630 the package build directory it is to act on.
5631 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5632 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5633 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
