272 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
273 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
275 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
276 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
277 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
278 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
279 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537

281 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.

294 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
295 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
296 script and then remove the python files.
297 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
298 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
299 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
300 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
301 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
302 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
303 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
304 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
305 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
306 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

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

2109 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for

2142 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2143 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2144 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2145 dh_install, which ...
2146 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2147 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2148 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2149 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2150 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2151 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2152 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2153 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2154 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2155 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2156 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2157 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2158 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2159 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2160 other minor changes.
2161 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2162 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2163 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2164 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2165 course there's -X ..)
2166 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2167 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2168 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2170 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2171 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2172 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2173 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2174 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2218 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2219 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2220 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2221 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2222 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
2224 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

2249 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2251 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2252 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2253 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2254 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2255 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2256 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2257 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2258 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2259 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2260 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2261 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2262 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2263 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2264 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2265 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2266 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2268 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2284 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2285 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2286 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2287 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2288 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2289 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2301 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2303 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2304 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2305 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2306 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2307 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2308 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2309 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2310 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2311 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
2312 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
2313 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.

2491 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2492 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2493 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some

2495 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2496 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2497 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2522 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2523 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2524 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2525 program those options go to. So, for example,
2526 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2527 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2670 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2671 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2672 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2673 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2674 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2731 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2732 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2733 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2734 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2735 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2736 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2737 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2738 but is mildly deprecated.
2739 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2740 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2741 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2742 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2743 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2744 switching to statoverrides..
2745 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2746 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2747 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2748 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2749 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2750 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2752 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2753 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2754 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2755 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2756 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2757 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2758 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2759 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2760 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2762 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2763 variable names, pod man pages).
2764 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2765 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2766 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2767 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2768 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2769 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2770 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2936 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2942 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2943 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3186 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3187 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3188 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3189 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3190 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3191 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3192 notice until v2 is complete.
3193 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3194 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3195 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3196 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3197 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3198 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3200 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3201 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3202 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3203 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3324 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3325 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3327 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3328 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3329 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3330 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

3414 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3415 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3416 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3417 bits until all files have been registered.

3427 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3428 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3429 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3430 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3431 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3432 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3433 otherwise change the result at all.
3435 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3436 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3552 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
3553 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
3554 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3555 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3556 I made some changes, though:
3557 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3558 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3559 that is a clear violation of policy.
3560 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3561 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3562 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3563 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3564 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3565 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3566 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3567 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3568 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3570 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3735 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3736 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3737 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3738 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3739 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3740 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3741 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3742 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3743 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3744 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3745 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4693 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4694 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4695 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4696 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4697 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4698 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4699 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4738 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4739 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

4741 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

5064 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5065 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5066 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5067 past week. Thanks, guys!
5069 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5070 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5071 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5072 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5073 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5074 would do in the same situation.
5075 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5076 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5078 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5080 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5081 permissions changed.
5082 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5083 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5084 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5085 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5086 files are treated identically.
5087 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5088 * Minor man page fixes.
5089 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5091 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5100 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5101 use -X multiple times, too.
5102 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5103 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5128 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5129 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5581 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5582 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5583 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5584 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5645 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5646 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5647 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5648 multiple binary packages.
5649 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5650 should rebuild them with this version.

5671 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5672 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5673 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5674 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5675 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5676 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5677 debian/README.debian.
5678 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5679 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5680 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5681 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5682 in a few situations.)

5718 * Multiple binary package support.

5721 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5723 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5724 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5725 auto-installed as parameters.
5726 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5728 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5731 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5732 the package build directory it is to act on.
5733 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5734 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5735 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
