11 * Updated French translation.
12 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
13 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
14 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
15 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
17 * Typo. Closes: #571968
18 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
19 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
20 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
21 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
22 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
23 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
24 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
25 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702
26 * dh: Allow --list-addons to be used when not in a source package.
28 * dh: Improve documentation.

57 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
58 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
59 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
60 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
61 options that they do not support.
62 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
63 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
64 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

142 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
143 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
144 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
145 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
146 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
147 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
148 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
149 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
150 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
151 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
152 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
153 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
154 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
155 time soon.) Closes: #554509

165 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
166 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
168 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
169 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
170 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

202 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
203 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
204 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
205 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
206 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
207 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers

229 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
230 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
231 flag with arch all/any packages.
232 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
233 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
234 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
235 situation. Closes: #540794

396 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
397 that support it. Closes: #480577
398 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
399 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
400 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
402 - Adds support for cmake.
403 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
404 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
406 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
408 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
409 that use them. The options are:
410 --sourcedir, --destdir
411 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
412 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
413 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
414 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
415 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

693 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

697 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
698 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
699 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
700 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
701 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
702 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1227 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most

1390 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1392 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1393 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1394 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3096 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3097 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3098 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3099 dh_install, which ...
3100 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3101 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3102 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3103 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3104 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3105 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3106 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3107 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3108 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3109 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3110 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3111 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3112 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3113 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3114 other minor changes.
3115 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3116 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3117 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3118 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3119 course there's -X ..)
3120 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3121 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3122 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3124 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3125 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3126 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3127 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3128 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3172 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3173 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3174 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3175 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3176 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3203 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3205 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3206 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3207 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3208 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3209 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3210 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3211 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3212 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3213 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3214 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3215 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3216 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3217 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3218 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3219 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3220 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3222 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3239 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3240 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3241 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3242 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

3257 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3258 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3259 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3260 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3261 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3262 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3263 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3264 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3265 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3449 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3450 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

3623 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3624 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3625 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3626 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3627 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3628 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3683 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3685 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3686 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3687 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3688 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3689 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3690 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3691 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3692 but is mildly deprecated.
3693 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3694 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3695 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3696 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3697 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3698 switching to statoverrides..
3699 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3700 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3701 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3702 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3703 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3704 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3706 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3707 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3708 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3709 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3710 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3711 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3712 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3713 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3714 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3716 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3717 variable names, pod man pages).
3718 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3719 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3720 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3721 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3722 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3723 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3724 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3796 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3797 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3799 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3890 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3896 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3897 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4140 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4141 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4142 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4143 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4144 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4145 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4146 notice until v2 is complete.
4147 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4148 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4149 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4150 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4151 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4152 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4154 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4155 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4156 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4157 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4281 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4283 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4284 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4368 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4369 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4370 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

4506 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
4507 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
4508 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4509 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4510 I made some changes, though:
4511 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4512 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4513 that is a clear violation of policy.
4514 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4515 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4516 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4517 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4518 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4519 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4520 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4521 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4522 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4524 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4689 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4690 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4691 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4692 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4693 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4694 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4695 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4696 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4697 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4698 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4699 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4709 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4710 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4711 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4712 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4713 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4714 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5506 * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that
5507 dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can
5508 also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps.

5630 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5631 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

5646 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5647 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5648 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5649 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5650 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5651 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5652 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5653 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5689 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5690 sections of shared libraries.

5692 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5693 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5694 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5695 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5696 things you don't want them to.

6018 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6019 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6020 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6021 past week. Thanks, guys!
6023 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6024 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6025 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6026 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6027 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6028 would do in the same situation.
6029 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6030 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6032 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6034 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6035 permissions changed.
6036 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6037 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6038 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6039 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6040 files are treated identically.
6041 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6042 * Minor man page fixes.
6043 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6045 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6054 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6055 use -X multiple times, too.
6056 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6057 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6535 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6536 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6537 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6538 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6599 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6600 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6601 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6602 multiple binary packages.
6603 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6604 should rebuild them with this version.
6605 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6623 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6625 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6626 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6627 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6628 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6629 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6630 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6631 debian/README.debian.
6632 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6633 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6634 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6635 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6636 in a few situations.)

6672 * Multiple binary package support.
6673 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6674 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6675 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6677 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6678 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6679 auto-installed as parameters.
6680 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6682 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6685 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6686 the package build directory it is to act on.
6687 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6688 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6689 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
