4 debhelper (5.0.38) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
7 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules
10 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
11 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
12 lines. This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.

16 debhelper (5.0.37) unstable; urgency=low
18 * dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
19 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
20 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
21 depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>
22 The kernel version is guessed at based on the path to the modules in the
23 package. Closes: #301424
24 * dh_installxfonts: In postrm, run the deregistraton code even on upgrade,
25 in case an upgrade involves moving fonts around (or removing or renaming
26 fonts). Closes: #372686

33 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installxfonts
36 * Remove old alternate dependency on fileutils. Closes: #370011
37 * Patch from Guillem Jover to make --same-arch handling code support
38 the new form of architecture wildcarding which allows use of things
39 like "linux-any" and "any-i386" in the Architecture field. Closes: #371082
40 * Needs dpkg-dev 1.13.13 for dpkg-architecture -s support needed by
41 above, but already depends on that.

45 debhelper (5.0.35) unstable; urgency=low
47 * dh_installman: When --language is used, be smarter about stripping
48 language codes from man page filenames. Only strip things that look like
49 codes that match the specified languages. Closes: #366645
50 * dh_installxfonts: /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7 is deprecated, back to looking in
51 old location, and not passing --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-alias and
52 update-fonts-scale (but still to update-fonts-dir). Closes: #366234

75 * dh_installudev: Include rules.d directory so symlink can be made even
76 before udev is installed. Closes: #363307

80 debhelper (5.0.31) unstable; urgency=low
83 * Update french translation with recents changes in dh_installxfonts,
84 dh_link and dh_compress manpages
85 * Delete -f option in po4a command line. Bug in po4a has been corrected in
87 * Change build-depends for po4a. New version (0.24.1).
88 * Add code for removing empty "lang" directories into man/ when cleaning.
91 * dh_installxfonts: pass --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-* commands to ensure
92 they use the right new directory. Closes: #362820
93 * dh_installxfonts: also, alias files have moved from /etc/X11/fonts/* to
94 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page
95 accordingly; packages containing alias files will need to switch to the
96 new directory on their own.
97 * dh_installudev: correct documentation for --name. Closes: #363028
98 * Fix broken directory removal code.

102 debhelper (5.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
104 * Convert the "I have no packages to build" error into a warning. Am I
105 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that
106 builds an arch all package and an single-arch package? In this case,
107 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some
108 other arch, and debhelper will now support this.

112 debhelper (5.0.29) unstable; urgency=low
114 * dh_installxfonts: Random hack to deal with X font dirs moving to
115 /usr/share/fonts/X11/ -- look there for fonts as well as in the old
116 location, although the old location probably won't be seen by X anymore.
117 * dh_installxfonts: Generate misc:Depends on new xfonts-utils.
118 * dh_compress: compress pcm fonts under usr/share/fonts/X11/
119 * dh_link: change example that used X11R6 directory.

138 * Update pot file and french translation with recent changes in
139 dh_installdirs and dh_movefiles manpages

143 debhelper (5.0.26) unstable; urgency=high
145 * dh_installinit: Fix badly generated code in maint scripts that used
146 || exit 0 instead of the intended
148 due to a bad shell expansion and caused invoke-rc.d errors to be
149 ignored. Closes: #337664

167 [ vperrin forgot to add this to the changelog when committing ]
168 * Update pot file and french translation with recent changes in
169 the dh_installdebconf manpage
170 * Add -f option to force .pot file re-building. This is in waiting
171 a patch, correcting a bug in po4a_0.23.1
172 * Add --rm-backups in clean: Otherwise ll.po~ are included in the
173 source package. (see debhelper_5.0.22.tar.gz)

177 debhelper (5.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
179 * dh_strip: remove binutils build-dep lines since stable has a new enough
180 version. Closes: #350607
181 * dh_installdebconf: drop all support for old-style translated debconf
182 templates files via debconf-mergetemplate (keep a warning if any are
183 found, for now). Allows dropping debhelper's dependency on
184 debconf-utils. Closes: #331796

188 debhelper (5.0.22) unstable; urgency=low
190 * dh_makeshlibs: add support for adding udeb: lines to shlibs file
191 via --add-udeb parameter. Closes: #345471
192 * dh_shlibdeps: pass -tudeb to dpkg-shlibdeps for udebs. Closes: #345472

210 debhelper (5.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
212 * dh_installman: add support for --language option to override man page
213 language guessing. Closes: #193221

217 debhelper (5.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
219 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
220 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
221 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
222 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
223 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
224 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
225 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

229 debhelper (5.0.17) unstable; urgency=low
231 * dh_python: Temporarily revert change in 5.0.13 to make use of
232 python-support for packages providing private modules or python-only
233 modules, since python policy hasn't been updated for this yet.

245 debhelper (5.0.15) unstable; urgency=low

252 debhelper (5.0.14) unstable; urgency=low
254 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
255 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
256 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
257 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
258 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
259 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
260 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

270 link. Closes: #346405
271 * dh_link: add special case handling for link to /
274 * dh_python: make use of python-support for packages providing private
275 modules or python-only modules. This should greatly reduce the
276 number of packages needing to transition together with python.
277 * postinst-python: don't build the .pyo files, they aren't even used!
278 * dh_gconf: add support for debian/package.gconf-defaults, to provide
279 defaults for a package without patching the schemas.

373 debhelper (5.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
375 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
376 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
377 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
378 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
379 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
380 * debhelper.1: Explicitly document that docs describe latest compat
381 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the
382 "Debhelper compatibility levels" section of debhelper.1. Closes: #336906

516 * dh_strip: In v5, make --dbg-package specify a single debugging package

1701 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1702 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1703 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1704 dh_install, which ...
1705 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1706 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1707 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1708 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1709 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1710 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1711 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1712 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1713 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1714 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1715 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1716 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1717 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1718 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1719 other minor changes.
1720 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1721 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1722 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1723 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1724 course there's -X ..)
1725 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1726 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1727 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1729 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1730 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1731 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1732 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1733 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1780 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1781 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1808 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1810 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1811 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1812 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1813 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1814 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1815 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1816 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1817 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1818 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1819 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1820 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1821 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1822 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1823 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1824 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1825 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1827 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1845 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

1847 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1862 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1863 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1864 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1865 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1866 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1867 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1868 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1869 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1870 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2050 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2051 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2052 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2053 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2054 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2055 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2056 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2057 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2058 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2078 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2079 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2080 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2081 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2082 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2083 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2084 program those options go to. So, for example,
2085 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2086 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2228 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2229 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2230 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2231 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2232 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2233 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2290 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2291 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2292 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2293 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2294 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2295 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2296 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2297 but is mildly deprecated.
2298 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2299 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2300 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2301 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2302 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2303 switching to statoverrides..
2304 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2305 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2306 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2307 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2308 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2309 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2311 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2312 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2313 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2314 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2315 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2316 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2317 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2318 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2319 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2321 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2322 variable names, pod man pages).
2323 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2324 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2325 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2326 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2327 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2328 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2329 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2495 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2501 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2502 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2552 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2553 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2554 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2570 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2745 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2746 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2747 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2748 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2749 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2750 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2751 notice until v2 is complete.
2752 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2753 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2754 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2755 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2756 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2757 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2759 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2760 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2761 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2886 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2973 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2974 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2975 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2976 bits until all files have been registered.

2994 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects

3056 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3057 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3058 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3059 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
3060 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
3061 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
3062 does not compress. Closes: #41733

3114 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3115 I made some changes, though:
3116 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3117 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3118 that is a clear violation of policy.
3119 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3120 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3121 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3122 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3123 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3124 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3125 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3126 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3127 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3129 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3296 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3297 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3298 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3299 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3300 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3301 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3302 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3303 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3304 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3314 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3319 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4064 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4065 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4066 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4067 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4068 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4096 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages

4253 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4254 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4255 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4256 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4257 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4258 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4623 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4624 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4625 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4626 past week. Thanks, guys!
4628 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4629 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4630 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4631 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4632 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4633 would do in the same situation.
4634 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4635 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4637 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4639 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4640 permissions changed.
4641 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4642 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4643 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4644 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4645 files are treated identically.
4646 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4647 * Minor man page fixes.
4648 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4659 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4660 use -X multiple times, too.

5058 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5059 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5060 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5061 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5062 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5063 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5064 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5140 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5141 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5142 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5143 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5205 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5206 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5207 multiple binary packages.

5209 should rebuild them with this version.

5230 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5231 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5232 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5233 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5234 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5235 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5236 debian/README.debian.
5237 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5238 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5239 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5240 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5241 in a few situations.)

5282 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright

5287 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5290 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5291 the package build directory it is to act on.
5292 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5293 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5294 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
