1260 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1261 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1262 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1263 dh_install, which ...
1264 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1265 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1266 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1267 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1268 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1269 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1270 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1271 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1272 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1273 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1274 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1275 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1276 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1277 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1278 other minor changes.
1279 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1280 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1281 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1282 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1283 course there's -X ..)
1284 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1285 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1286 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1288 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1289 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1290 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1291 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1292 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1337 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1339 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1340 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1367 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1369 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1370 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1371 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1372 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1373 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1374 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1375 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1376 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1377 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1378 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1379 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1380 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1381 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1382 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1383 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1384 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1386 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1404 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1405 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!

1421 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1422 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1423 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1424 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1425 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1426 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1427 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1428 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1429 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1605 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1606 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1607 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1608 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1609 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1610 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1611 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1612 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1613 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1614 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1615 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1617 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1637 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1638 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1639 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1640 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1641 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1642 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1643 program those options go to. So, for example,
1644 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1645 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1788 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1789 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1790 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1791 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1792 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1847 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1849 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1850 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1851 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1852 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1853 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1855 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1856 but is mildly deprecated.
1857 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1858 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1859 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1860 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1861 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1862 switching to statoverrides..
1863 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1864 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1865 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1866 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1867 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1868 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1870 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1871 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1872 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1873 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1874 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1875 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1876 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1877 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1878 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1880 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1881 variable names, pod man pages).
1882 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1883 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1884 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1885 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1886 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1887 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1888 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2051 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2052 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2053 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2054 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2055 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2056 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2057 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2059 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2060 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2061 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2063 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2065 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2066 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2067 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2068 should now be raised to severity important..
2069 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2070 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2111 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2112 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2304 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2305 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2306 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2307 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2308 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2309 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2310 notice until v2 is complete.
2311 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2312 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2313 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2314 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2315 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2316 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2318 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2319 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2320 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2533 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2545 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2546 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2547 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2548 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2549 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2550 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2551 otherwise change the result at all.
2553 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2554 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2555 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2556 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
2557 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

2570 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
2571 act on files that don't exist.
2572 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
2573 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2574 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2576 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2577 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2578 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2579 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2597 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
2598 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

2602 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
2604 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
2605 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
2607 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
2608 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
2609 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

2615 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
2616 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
2617 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2618 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
2619 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
2620 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
2621 does not compress. Closes: #41733
2622 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
2624 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
2626 * Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.

2670 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
2671 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
2672 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
2673 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2674 I made some changes, though:
2675 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2676 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2677 that is a clear violation of policy.
2678 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2679 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2680 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2681 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2682 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2683 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2684 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2685 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2686 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2688 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2707 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
2708 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
2709 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

2729 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
2730 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2731 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2732 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2733 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2734 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2735 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
2736 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

2851 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2852 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2853 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2854 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2855 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2856 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2857 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2858 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2859 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2860 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2861 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2862 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2863 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2869 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2870 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2871 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2873 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2874 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2875 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2876 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2877 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2878 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2880 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2881 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3184 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3185 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3186 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3201 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3202 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3599 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3600 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3601 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3602 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3605 suidregister actually supports it.

3816 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4053 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4182 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4183 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4184 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4185 past week. Thanks, guys!
4187 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4188 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4189 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4190 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4191 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4192 would do in the same situation.
4193 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4194 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4196 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4198 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4199 permissions changed.
4200 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4201 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4202 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4203 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4204 files are treated identically.
4205 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4206 * Minor man page fixes.
4207 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4218 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4219 use -X multiple times, too.
4220 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4221 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4534 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4535 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4536 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4537 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4538 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4539 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4540 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4541 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4618 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4619 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4620 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4621 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4622 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

4793 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4794 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4795 debian/README.debian.
4796 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4797 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4798 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4799 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4800 in a few situations.)

4849 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4850 the package build directory it is to act on.
4851 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4852 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
