18 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
19 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
20 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)

27 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
28 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop
29 after it sees one line of output from make. (This may be better replaced
30 with dh's makefile parser in the future.) Closes: #557307

48 debhelper (7.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
50 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
51 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
52 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
53 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
54 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
55 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
56 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
57 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
58 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
59 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
60 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
61 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
62 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
63 time soon.) Closes: #554509
64 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
66 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
67 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
68 * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
69 document id. Closes: #555677
70 * Typo. Closes: #555659
71 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
72 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
73 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
74 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
76 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
77 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
78 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

98 * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force

108 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
109 (It was only run once due to logging.)
110 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
111 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
112 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
113 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
114 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
115 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
116 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
117 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
118 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev

135 debhelper (7.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
137 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
138 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
139 flag with arch all/any packages.
140 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
141 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
142 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
143 situation. Closes: #540794

153 it's documented to accept). Closes: #543499
154 * Allow sequence addons to pass options to debhelper commands,
155 by adding add_command_options and remove_command_options to the interface.

298 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
299 contributed by Modestas Vainius
300 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
301 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
302 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
303 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
304 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
305 that support it. Closes: #480577
306 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
307 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
308 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
310 - Adds support for cmake.
311 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
312 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
314 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
316 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
317 that use them. The options are:
318 --sourcedir, --destdir
319 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
320 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
321 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
322 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
323 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

391 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
392 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

595 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
597 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
598 that uses them. Affected options are:
599 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
600 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
601 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

605 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
606 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
607 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
608 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
609 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
610 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1156 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1157 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1158 script and then remove the python files.
1159 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1160 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1161 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1162 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1163 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1164 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1166 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

1168 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1290 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

1292 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1293 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1294 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1295 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1296 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1297 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1298 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1300 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1301 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1302 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1303 the not too-distant future).

1522 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
1523 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
1524 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
1525 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
1526 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
1527 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
1528 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

1559 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1560 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
1561 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980

1563 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

1678 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility

1680 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1681 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1682 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3004 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3005 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3006 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3007 dh_install, which ...
3008 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3009 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3010 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3011 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3012 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3013 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3014 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3015 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3016 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3017 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3018 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3019 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3020 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.

3022 other minor changes.

3024 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3025 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3026 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3027 course there's -X ..)
3028 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3029 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3030 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3032 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3033 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3034 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3035 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3036 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3078 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
3080 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3081 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3082 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3083 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3084 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3086 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
3087 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

3111 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3113 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3114 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3115 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3116 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3117 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3118 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3119 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3120 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3121 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3122 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3123 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3124 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3125 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3126 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3127 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3128 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3130 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3142 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
3144 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
3146 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3147 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3148 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3149 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3150 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3151 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3152 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3163 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3165 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3166 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3167 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3168 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3169 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3170 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3171 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3172 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3173 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
3174 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
3175 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.
3176 * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the
3177 distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used
3178 by: 3 packages (bugs filed).

3347 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3349 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3350 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3351 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3352 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3353 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3354 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3355 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3356 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3357 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3358 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3359 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3361 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3381 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3382 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3383 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3384 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3385 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3386 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3387 program those options go to. So, for example,
3388 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3389 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3390 something complex. Closes: #89311

3530 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3531 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3532 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3533 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3534 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3535 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3536 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3537 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3591 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3593 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3594 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3595 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3596 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3597 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3599 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3600 but is mildly deprecated.
3601 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3602 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3603 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3604 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3605 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3606 switching to statoverrides..
3607 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3608 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3609 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3610 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3611 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3612 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3614 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3615 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3616 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3617 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3618 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3619 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3620 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3621 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3622 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3624 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3625 variable names, pod man pages).
3626 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3627 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3628 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3629 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3630 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3631 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3632 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3798 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3800 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3801 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3803 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3804 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3805 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4048 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4049 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4050 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4051 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4052 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4053 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4054 notice until v2 is complete.
4055 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4056 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4057 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4058 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4059 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4060 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4062 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4063 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4064 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4187 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4189 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4192 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4276 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4277 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4278 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4279 bits until all files have been registered.

4418 I made some changes, though:
4419 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4420 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4421 that is a clear violation of policy.
4422 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4423 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4424 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4425 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4426 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4427 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4428 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4429 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4430 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4432 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4596 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4597 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4598 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4599 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4600 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4601 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4602 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4603 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4604 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4605 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4606 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4607 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5315 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5316 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5536 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
5537 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5538 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5539 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5540 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5554 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5555 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5556 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5557 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5558 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5559 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5560 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5561 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5600 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5601 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5602 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5603 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5604 things you don't want them to.

5667 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5668 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5669 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5935 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5936 would do in the same situation.

6276 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6277 a given package, or -i or -a.
6278 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6279 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6280 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6281 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6283 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6285 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6510 multiple binary packages.
6511 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6512 should rebuild them with this version.
6513 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6517 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
6519 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.

6531 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6533 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6534 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6535 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6536 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6537 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6538 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6539 debian/README.debian.
6540 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6541 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6542 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6543 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6544 in a few situations.)

6548 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

6554 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

6567 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

6573 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
6575 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6577 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6578 is ready for general use.
6579 * Added man pages for all commands.
6580 * Multiple binary package support.
6581 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6582 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6583 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6585 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6586 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6587 auto-installed as parameters.
6588 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6590 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6593 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6594 the package build directory it is to act on.
6595 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6596 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6597 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
