40 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
41 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
42 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
43 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
44 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1366 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1367 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1368 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1369 dh_install, which ...
1370 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1371 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1372 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1373 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1374 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1375 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1376 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1377 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1378 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1379 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1380 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1381 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1382 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1383 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1384 other minor changes.
1385 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1386 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1387 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1388 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1389 course there's -X ..)
1390 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1391 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1394 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1395 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1396 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into

1473 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1475 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1476 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1477 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1478 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1479 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1480 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1481 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1482 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1483 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1484 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1485 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1486 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1487 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1488 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1489 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1490 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1492 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1527 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1528 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1529 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1530 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1531 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1532 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1533 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1534 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1535 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1709 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1711 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1712 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1713 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1714 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1715 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1716 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1717 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1718 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1719 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1720 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1721 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1722 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1723 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1741 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
1743 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1744 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1745 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1746 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1747 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1748 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1749 program those options go to. So, for example,
1750 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1751 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1752 something complex. Closes: #89311
1753 * Made escape_shell output a lot better.

1757 debhelper (3.0.26) unstable; urgency=low
1759 * Always include package name in maintainer script fragment filenames
1760 and generated shlibs files (except for in DH_COMPAT=1 mode). This is a
1761 purely cosmetic change, and if it breaks anything, you were using an
1762 undocumented interface. Closes: #95387

1766 debhelper (3.0.25) unstable; urgency=low

1781 debhelper (3.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
1783 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
1784 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings
1785 breaks things since they LD_PRELOAD a library that is specified in the
1786 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494

1807 * Modified the postrm fragment for dh_installxfonts to not try to delete

1813 debhelper (3.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
1815 * Now uses html2text rather than lynx for converting html changelogs.
1816 The program generates better results, and won't annoy the people who
1817 were oddly annoyed at having to install lynx. Instead, it will annoy a
1818 whole other set of people, I'm sure. Closes: #93747

1871 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
1872 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
1873 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which

1889 * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture.
1890 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
1891 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
1892 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1893 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1894 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1895 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1896 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1897 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1898 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1899 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1900 Closes: #88464, #77743
1901 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
1902 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants

1953 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1955 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1956 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1957 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1958 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1959 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1960 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1961 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1962 but is mildly deprecated.
1963 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1964 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1965 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1966 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1967 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1968 switching to statoverrides..
1969 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1970 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1971 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1972 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1973 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1974 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1976 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1977 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1978 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1979 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1980 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1981 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1982 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1983 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1984 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1986 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1987 variable names, pod man pages).
1988 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1989 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1990 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1991 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1992 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1993 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1994 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2064 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2065 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2066 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2067 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2068 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2069 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2070 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2071 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

2158 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2159 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2160 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2161 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2162 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2163 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2165 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2166 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2167 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2169 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2171 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2172 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2173 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2174 should now be raised to severity important..
2175 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2176 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2217 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2218 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2410 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2411 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2412 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2413 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2414 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2415 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2416 notice until v2 is complete.
2417 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2418 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2419 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2420 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2421 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2422 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2424 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

2549 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2551 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2552 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2553 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2554 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2555 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2556 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
2557 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

2638 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2639 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2640 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2641 bits until all files have been registered.

2651 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2652 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2653 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2655 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2656 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2657 otherwise change the result at all.
2659 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2660 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2682 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2683 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2684 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

2779 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2780 I made some changes, though:
2781 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2782 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2783 that is a clear violation of policy.
2784 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2785 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2786 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2787 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2788 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2789 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2790 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2791 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2792 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2794 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2837 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2838 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2839 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2840 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2841 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

2958 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2959 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2960 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2961 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2962 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2963 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2964 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2965 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2966 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2967 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2968 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2969 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2979 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3705 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3706 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3707 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3708 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3711 suidregister actually supports it.

3729 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

3920 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3921 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3922 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4055 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4056 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4057 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4058 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4087 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4088 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4099 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4100 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4101 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4102 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4103 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4104 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4105 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4106 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4107 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4121 large chunks in the process.

4290 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4291 past week. Thanks, guys!
4293 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4294 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4295 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4296 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4297 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4298 would do in the same situation.
4299 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4300 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4302 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4304 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4305 permissions changed.
4306 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4307 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4308 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4309 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4310 files are treated identically.
4311 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4324 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4325 use -X multiple times, too.

4631 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4632 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4636 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4637 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4638 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4639 a given package, or -i or -a.
4640 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4641 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4642 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4643 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4644 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4645 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4647 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4726 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4727 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
