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

253 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
254 program those options go to. So, for example,
255 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

460 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
461 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
462 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
463 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
464 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

466 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
467 but is mildly deprecated.
468 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
469 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
470 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
471 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
472 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
473 switching to statoverrides..
474 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
475 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
476 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
477 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
478 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
479 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
481 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
482 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
483 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
484 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
485 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
486 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
487 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
488 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
489 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
491 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
492 variable names, pod man pages).
493 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
494 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
495 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
496 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
497 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
498 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
499 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

569 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
570 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
571 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
572 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

574 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

665 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
666 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
667 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
668 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
670 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
671 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
672 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
674 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
676 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
677 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
678 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
679 should now be raised to severity important..

915 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
916 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
917 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
918 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
919 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
920 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
921 notice until v2 is complete.
922 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
923 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
924 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
925 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
926 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
927 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

1048 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
1049 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
1050 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
1051 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
1052 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
1053 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
1054 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
1056 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
1057 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
1058 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
1059 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
1060 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
1061 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
1062 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

1140 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
1141 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
1142 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
1143 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1144 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1145 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1146 bits until all files have been registered.

1153 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
1154 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
1155 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
1156 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
1157 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1158 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
1159 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
1160 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
1161 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1162 otherwise change the result at all.
1164 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1165 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
1166 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
1167 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

1181 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to

1183 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
1184 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
1185 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
1187 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
1188 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
1189 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
1190 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

1219 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
1220 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

1226 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
1227 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
1228 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
1229 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
1230 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
1231 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
1232 does not compress. Closes: #41733

1283 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
1284 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
1285 I made some changes, though:
1286 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1287 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1288 that is a clear violation of policy.
1289 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1290 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1291 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1292 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1293 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1294 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1295 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1296 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1297 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1299 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

1341 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
1342 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
1343 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
1344 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
1345 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
1346 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

1466 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
1467 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
1468 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
1469 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
1470 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
1471 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
1472 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
1473 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
1474 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

1546 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
1547 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
1548 it's always available.

2210 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
2211 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
2212 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

2234 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
2235 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).

2423 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to

2425 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
2426 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
2427 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

2561 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

2592 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
2593 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

2605 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
2606 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
2607 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
2608 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
2609 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
2610 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
2611 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
2612 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

2795 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
2796 past week. Thanks, guys!
2798 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
2799 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
2800 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
2801 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
2802 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
2803 would do in the same situation.
2804 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
2805 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
2807 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
2809 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
2810 permissions changed.
2811 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
2812 some people enjoy changing root's name.
2813 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
2814 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
2815 files are treated identically.
2816 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

2829 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
2830 use -X multiple times, too.
2831 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
2832 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

3091 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
3092 argument processor in perl.
3093 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
3094 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
3095 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")

3102 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
3103 type directories. (#16933)
3104 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
3105 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
3106 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
3107 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
3108 are supported. (#16935)
3109 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

3123 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
3125 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
3126 version requirements in the shlibs file.
3127 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
3128 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
3129 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
3130 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

3134 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
3136 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
3137 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
3138 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
3140 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
3141 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
3142 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
3143 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3144 a given package, or -i or -a.
3145 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3146 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3147 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3148 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
3149 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
3150 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
3151 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
3152 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
3153 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
3155 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
3156 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
3157 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

3179 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
3180 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
3181 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

3194 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
3195 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
3196 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
3197 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863

3207 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

3226 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
3228 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
3229 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
3230 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
3231 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
3232 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
3233 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
3234 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

3309 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
3310 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
3311 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
3312 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the

3404 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

3408 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
3409 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
3410 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

3457 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
3460 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
3461 the package build directory it is to act on.
3462 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
3463 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
