4 necessarily a core dump.) Closes: #477391
5 * Record debhelper commands that successfully finish in a per-package log
7 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
8 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
9 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
10 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
11 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
12 planned but not yet implemented.)

303 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
304 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
306 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
307 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
308 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

325 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
326 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
327 script and then remove the python files.
328 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
329 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
330 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
331 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
332 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
333 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
334 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
335 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
336 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
337 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

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

2173 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2174 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2175 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2176 dh_install, which ...
2177 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2178 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2179 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2180 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2181 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2182 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2183 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2184 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2185 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2186 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2187 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2188 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2189 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2190 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2191 other minor changes.
2192 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2193 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2194 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2195 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2196 course there's -X ..)
2197 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2198 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2199 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2201 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2202 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2203 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2204 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2205 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2252 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2253 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2280 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2282 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2283 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2284 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2285 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2286 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2287 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2288 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2289 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2290 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2291 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2292 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2293 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2294 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2295 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2296 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2297 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2299 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2332 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2334 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2335 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2336 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2337 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2338 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2339 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2340 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2341 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2342 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2550 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2551 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2552 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2553 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2554 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2555 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2556 program those options go to. So, for example,
2557 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2558 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2700 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2701 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2702 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2703 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2704 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2705 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2760 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2762 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2763 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2764 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2765 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2766 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2767 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2768 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2769 but is mildly deprecated.
2770 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2771 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2772 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2773 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2774 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2775 switching to statoverrides..
2776 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2777 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2778 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2779 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2780 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2781 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2783 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2784 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2785 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2786 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2787 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2788 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2789 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2790 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2791 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2793 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2794 variable names, pod man pages).
2795 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2796 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2797 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2798 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2799 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2800 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2801 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2967 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2970 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2972 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2973 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2974 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3023 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3024 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3025 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3026 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3038 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3039 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3040 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3041 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3042 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3217 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3218 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3219 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3220 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3221 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3222 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3223 notice until v2 is complete.
3224 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3225 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3226 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3227 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3228 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3229 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3231 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3232 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3233 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3446 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3586 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3587 I made some changes, though:
3588 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3589 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3590 that is a clear violation of policy.
3591 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3592 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3593 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3594 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3595 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3596 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3597 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3598 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3599 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3601 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3769 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3770 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3771 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3772 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3773 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3774 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3775 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

4051 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
4052 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4053 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
4054 more than 1 init script.

4097 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4098 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4099 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4114 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4115 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4161 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)

4163 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4269 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4271 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

4484 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4485 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4725 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4726 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4727 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4728 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4729 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4730 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5095 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5096 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5097 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5098 past week. Thanks, guys!
5100 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5101 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5102 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5103 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5104 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5105 would do in the same situation.
5106 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5107 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5109 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5111 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5112 permissions changed.
5113 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5114 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5115 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5116 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5117 files are treated identically.
5118 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5119 * Minor man page fixes.
5120 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5131 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5132 use -X multiple times, too.
5133 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5134 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5159 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5160 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5530 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5531 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5532 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5533 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5534 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5535 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5536 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5612 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5613 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5614 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5615 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5677 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5678 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5679 multiple binary packages.
5680 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5681 should rebuild them with this version.

5702 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5703 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5704 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5705 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5706 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5707 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5708 debian/README.debian.
5709 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5710 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5711 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5712 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5713 in a few situations.)

5752 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5754 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5755 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5756 auto-installed as parameters.
5757 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5759 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5762 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5763 the package build directory it is to act on.
5764 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5765 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5766 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
