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

632 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
633 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.

636 specific python version. Closes: #373853
637 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
638 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
640 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
641 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
642 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
643 the not too-distant future).
644 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
645 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

2344 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2345 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2346 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2347 dh_install, which ...
2348 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2349 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2350 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2351 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2352 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2353 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2354 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2355 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2356 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2357 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2358 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2359 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2360 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2361 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2362 other minor changes.
2363 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2364 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2365 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2366 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2367 course there's -X ..)
2368 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2369 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2372 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2373 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2374 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into

2451 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2453 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2454 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2455 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2456 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2457 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2458 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2459 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2460 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2461 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2462 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2463 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2464 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2465 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2466 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2467 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2468 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2470 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2503 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2505 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2506 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2507 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2508 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2509 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2510 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2511 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2512 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2513 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2687 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2689 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2690 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2691 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2692 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2693 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2694 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2695 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2696 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2697 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2698 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2699 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2700 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2701 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2719 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2721 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2722 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2723 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2724 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2725 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2726 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2727 program those options go to. So, for example,
2728 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2729 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2730 something complex. Closes: #89311
2731 * Made escape_shell output a lot better.

2735 debhelper (3.0.26) unstable; urgency=low
2737 * Always include package name in maintainer script fragment filenames
2738 and generated shlibs files (except for in DH_COMPAT=1 mode). This is a
2739 purely cosmetic change, and if it breaks anything, you were using an
2740 undocumented interface. Closes: #95387

2744 debhelper (3.0.25) unstable; urgency=low

2759 debhelper (3.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
2761 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
2762 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings
2763 breaks things since they LD_PRELOAD a library that is specified in the
2764 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494

2791 debhelper (3.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
2793 * Now uses html2text rather than lynx for converting html changelogs.
2794 The program generates better results, and won't annoy the people who
2795 were oddly annoyed at having to install lynx. Instead, it will annoy a
2796 whole other set of people, I'm sure. Closes: #93747

2849 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
2850 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
2851 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which

2865 debhelper (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
2867 * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture.
2868 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
2869 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
2870 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2871 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2872 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2873 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2874 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2875 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2876 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2877 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2878 Closes: #88464, #77743
2879 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2880 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2881 us to deal with that gracefully.

2931 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2933 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2934 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2935 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2936 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2937 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2938 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2939 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2940 but is mildly deprecated.
2941 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2942 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2943 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2944 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2945 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2946 switching to statoverrides..
2947 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2948 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2949 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2950 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2951 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2952 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2954 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2955 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2956 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2957 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2958 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2959 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2960 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2961 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2962 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2964 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2965 variable names, pod man pages).
2966 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2967 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2968 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2969 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2970 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2971 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2972 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3041 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3042 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3043 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3044 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3045 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3046 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3047 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3048 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3049 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3050 it is an obsolete program.

3136 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3137 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3138 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3139 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3140 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3141 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3143 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3144 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3145 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3147 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3149 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3150 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3151 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3152 should now be raised to severity important..
3153 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3154 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3196 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3388 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3389 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3390 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3391 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3392 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3393 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3394 notice until v2 is complete.
3395 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3396 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3397 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3398 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3399 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3400 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3402 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3527 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3529 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3530 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3531 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3532 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3533 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3534 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
3535 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

3616 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3617 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3618 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3619 bits until all files have been registered.

3630 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3631 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3634 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

3637 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3638 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3757 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3758 I made some changes, though:
3759 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3760 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3761 that is a clear violation of policy.
3762 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3763 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3764 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3765 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3766 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3767 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3768 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3769 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3770 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3772 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3816 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3817 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3818 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3936 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3937 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.

3939 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3940 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3941 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3942 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3943 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3944 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3945 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3946 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3947 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4683 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4684 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4685 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

4689 suidregister actually supports it.

4898 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4899 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4900 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5033 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5034 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5035 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
5036 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5065 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5066 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5077 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5078 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5079 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5080 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5081 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5082 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5083 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5084 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5085 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5268 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5269 past week. Thanks, guys!
5271 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5272 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5273 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5274 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5275 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5276 would do in the same situation.
5277 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5278 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5280 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5282 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5283 permissions changed.
5284 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5285 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5286 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5287 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5288 files are treated identically.
5289 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5302 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5303 use -X multiple times, too.

5614 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5615 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5616 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5617 a given package, or -i or -a.
5618 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5619 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5620 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5621 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5622 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5623 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5625 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5704 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5705 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
