1083 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1084 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1085 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1086 dh_install, which ...
1087 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1088 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1089 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1090 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1091 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1092 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1093 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1094 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1095 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1096 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1097 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1098 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1099 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1100 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1101 other minor changes.
1102 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1103 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1104 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1105 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1106 course there's -X ..)
1107 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1108 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1109 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1111 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1112 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1113 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1114 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1115 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1159 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1160 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1161 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1162 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1163 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1190 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1192 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1193 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1194 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1195 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1196 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1197 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1198 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1199 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1200 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1201 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1202 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1203 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1204 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1205 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1206 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1207 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1209 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1242 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1244 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1245 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1246 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1247 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1248 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1249 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1250 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1251 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1252 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1612 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1613 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1614 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1615 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1670 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1672 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1673 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1674 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1675 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1676 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1678 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1679 but is mildly deprecated.
1680 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1681 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1682 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1683 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1684 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1685 switching to statoverrides..
1686 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1687 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1688 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1689 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1690 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1691 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1693 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1694 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1695 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1696 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1697 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1698 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1699 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1700 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1701 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1703 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1704 variable names, pod man pages).
1705 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1706 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1707 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1708 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1709 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1710 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1711 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2127 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2128 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2129 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2130 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2131 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2132 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2133 notice until v2 is complete.
2134 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2135 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2136 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2137 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2138 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2139 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2141 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2142 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2143 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2144 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2268 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2355 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2356 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2357 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2358 bits until all files have been registered.

2497 I made some changes, though:
2498 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2499 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2500 that is a clear violation of policy.
2501 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2502 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2503 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2504 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2505 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2506 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2507 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2508 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2509 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2511 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2552 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
2553 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2554 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2555 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

2676 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2677 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2678 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2679 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2680 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2681 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2682 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2683 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2684 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2685 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2686 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3556 * The perl conversion is complete.
3558 * dh_compress: perlized (yay, perl has readlink, no more ls -l | awk
3560 * dh_lib, dh_getopt.pl: deleted, nothing uses them anymore.
3561 * debian/rules: don't install above 2 files.

3604 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
3605 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3606 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3607 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
3608 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
3609 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

3615 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3616 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3617 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3618 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3619 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3630 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
3632 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3633 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3634 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3635 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3636 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3637 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3638 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3639 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3640 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3653 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

3676 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3677 sections of shared libraries.
3678 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3679 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3680 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3681 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3682 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3683 things you don't want them to.
3684 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3685 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3712 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3713 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

3744 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3745 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3746 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3747 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3748 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3749 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3751 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3752 remove debian/files properly.
3753 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
3754 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
3755 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
3756 * Removed bogus menu file.

3772 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
3773 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

3805 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

3818 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
3819 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3820 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3821 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3822 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3823 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3824 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3826 passed any switches.

3838 large chunks in the process.
3839 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
3840 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4007 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4008 past week. Thanks, guys!
4010 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4011 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4012 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4013 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4014 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4015 would do in the same situation.
4016 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4017 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4019 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4021 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4022 permissions changed.
4023 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4024 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4025 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4026 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4027 files are treated identically.
4028 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4041 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4042 use -X multiple times, too.
4043 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4044 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4577 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4578 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

4584 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4586 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4587 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4588 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4589 multiple binary packages.
4590 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4591 should rebuild them with this version.
4592 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4610 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4612 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4613 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4614 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4615 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4616 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4617 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4618 debian/README.debian.
4619 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4620 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4621 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4622 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4623 in a few situations.)

4654 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4656 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4657 is ready for general use.
4658 * Added man pages for all commands.
4659 * Multiple binary package support.
4660 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4661 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4662 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4664 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4665 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4666 auto-installed as parameters.
4667 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4669 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4672 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4673 the package build directory it is to act on.
4674 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4675 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4676 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
