519 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
520 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
521 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
522 script and then remove the python files.
523 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
524 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
525 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
526 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
527 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
528 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
529 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
530 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

532 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

664 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
665 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
666 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
667 the not too-distant future).

1042 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
1043 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1044 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1045 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1046 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2369 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2370 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2371 dh_install, which ...
2372 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2373 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2374 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2375 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2376 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2377 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2378 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2379 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2380 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2381 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2382 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2383 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2384 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2385 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2386 other minor changes.
2387 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2388 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2389 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2390 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2391 course there's -X ..)
2392 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2393 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2396 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2397 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

2445 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2447 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2448 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2475 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2477 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2478 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2479 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2480 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2481 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2482 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2483 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2484 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2485 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2486 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2487 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2488 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2489 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2490 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2491 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2492 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2494 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2529 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2530 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2531 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2532 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2533 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2534 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2535 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2536 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2537 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
2538 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message

2713 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

2715 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2716 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2717 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2718 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2719 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2720 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2721 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2722 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2723 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2725 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2745 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2746 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2747 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2748 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2749 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2750 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2751 program those options go to. So, for example,
2752 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2753 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2754 something complex. Closes: #89311

2895 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2896 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2897 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2898 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2899 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2900 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2901 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2957 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2958 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2959 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2960 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2961 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2962 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2963 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2964 but is mildly deprecated.
2965 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2966 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2967 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2968 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2969 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2970 switching to statoverrides..
2971 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2972 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2973 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2974 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2975 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2976 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2978 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2979 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2980 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2981 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2982 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2983 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2984 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2985 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2986 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2988 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2989 variable names, pod man pages).
2990 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2991 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2992 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2993 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2994 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2995 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2996 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3065 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3066 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3067 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3068 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3069 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3070 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3071 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3072 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3073 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3074 it is an obsolete program.

3157 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3159 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3160 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3161 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3162 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3163 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3164 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3165 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3167 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3168 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3169 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3171 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3173 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3174 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3175 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3176 should now be raised to severity important..
3177 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3178 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3217 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
3218 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3219 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3220 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3221 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3234 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3235 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3236 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3237 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3238 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3412 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3413 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3414 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3415 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3416 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3417 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3418 notice until v2 is complete.
3419 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3420 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3421 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3422 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3423 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3424 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3426 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3427 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

3545 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
3546 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
3547 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
3548 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3549 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3550 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3551 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3553 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3554 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3555 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3556 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3557 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3558 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
3559 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

3637 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3638 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3639 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3640 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3641 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3642 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3643 bits until all files have been registered.

3650 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely

3652 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3653 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3654 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3655 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3656 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3657 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3658 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3659 otherwise change the result at all.
3661 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3662 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3663 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3664 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3681 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3682 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3684 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3685 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3686 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3687 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3780 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3781 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3782 I made some changes, though:
3783 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3784 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3785 that is a clear violation of policy.
3786 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3787 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3788 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3789 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3790 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3791 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3792 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3793 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3794 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3796 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3838 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3839 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3840 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3841 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3842 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3843 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3844 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3962 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3963 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3964 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3965 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3966 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3967 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3968 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3969 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3970 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3971 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4040 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)

4042 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4043 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4044 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4045 it's always available.

4310 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5033 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5034 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5036 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5037 remove debian/files properly.
5038 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5039 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5040 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5041 * Removed bogus menu file.

5058 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5059 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should

5089 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5090 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5104 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5105 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5106 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5107 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5108 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5109 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5292 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5293 past week. Thanks, guys!
5295 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5296 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5297 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5298 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5299 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5300 would do in the same situation.
5301 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5302 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5304 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5306 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5307 permissions changed.
5308 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5309 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5310 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5311 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5312 files are treated identically.

5326 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5327 use -X multiple times, too.

5638 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5639 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5640 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5641 a given package, or -i or -a.
5642 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5643 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5644 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5645 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5646 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5647 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5649 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5728 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
