74 debhelper (7.3.0) experimental; urgency=low
76 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
77 contributed by Modestas Vainius
78 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
79 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
80 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
81 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
82 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
83 that support it. Closes: #480577
84 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
85 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
86 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
88 - Adds support for cmake.
89 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
90 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
92 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
94 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
95 that use them. The options are:
96 --sourcedir, --destdir
97 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
98 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
99 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
100 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
101 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

163 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
164 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
165 warning or deprecation message.
166 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
167 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
168 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
169 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
170 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
171 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
172 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

385 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
386 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
387 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown

1030 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules
1033 * ACK last three NMUs with thanks to Raphael Hertzog for making the best of
1034 a difficult situation.
1035 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
1036 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
1037 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
1038 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
1039 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
1040 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
1041 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1042 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
1043 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
1044 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

1051 * Update of dh_python
1052 - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
1053 reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
1055 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948
1056 - fix parsing of XS-Python-Version, it didn't work if only fixed versions

1065 * Non-maintainer upload.
1066 * Update of dh_python
1067 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1068 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1069 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1070 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1071 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1072 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1073 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1074 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1075 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1076 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1078 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1079 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1080 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1081 the not too-distant future).
1082 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1083 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1084 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1085 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1086 thus made the build fail.

1100 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
1101 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run

2782 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2783 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2784 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2785 dh_install, which ...
2786 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2787 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2788 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2789 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2790 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2791 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2792 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2793 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2794 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2795 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2796 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2797 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2798 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2799 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2800 other minor changes.
2801 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2802 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2803 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2804 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2805 course there's -X ..)
2806 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2807 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2808 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2810 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2811 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2812 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2813 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2814 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2858 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2859 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2860 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2861 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2862 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2889 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2891 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2892 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2893 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2894 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2895 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2896 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2897 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2898 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2899 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2900 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2901 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2902 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2903 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2904 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2905 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2906 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2908 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2925 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2926 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2927 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2928 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2929 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2943 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2944 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2945 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2946 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2947 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2948 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2949 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2950 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2951 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3127 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3128 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3129 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3130 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3131 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3132 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3133 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3134 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3135 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3136 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3137 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3139 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3159 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3160 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3161 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3162 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3163 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3164 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3165 program those options go to. So, for example,
3166 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3167 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3308 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3309 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3310 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3311 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3312 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3313 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3314 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3315 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3371 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3372 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3373 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3374 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3375 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3376 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3377 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3378 but is mildly deprecated.
3379 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3380 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3381 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3382 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3383 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3384 switching to statoverrides..
3385 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3386 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3387 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3388 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3389 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3390 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3392 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3393 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3394 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3395 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3396 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3397 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3398 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3399 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3400 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3402 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3403 variable names, pod man pages).
3404 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3405 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3406 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3407 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3408 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3409 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3410 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3573 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3574 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3575 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3576 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3577 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3578 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3579 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3581 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3582 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3583 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3585 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3587 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3588 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3589 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3590 should now be raised to severity important..
3591 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3592 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3634 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3650 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3651 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3652 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3826 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3827 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3828 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3829 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3830 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3831 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3832 notice until v2 is complete.
3833 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3834 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3835 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3836 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3837 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3838 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3840 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3841 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4051 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4052 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4053 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4054 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4055 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4056 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4057 bits until all files have been registered.

4064 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely

4066 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4067 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4068 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4069 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4070 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4071 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4072 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4073 otherwise change the result at all.
4075 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4076 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4077 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
4078 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

4095 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4096 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4098 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4099 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4100 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4101 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4194 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4195 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4196 I made some changes, though:
4197 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4198 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4199 that is a clear violation of policy.
4200 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4201 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4202 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4203 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4204 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4205 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4206 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4207 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4208 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4210 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4252 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4253 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4254 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4255 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4256 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4257 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

4374 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4375 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4376 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4377 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4378 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4379 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4380 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4381 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4382 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4383 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4384 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4385 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4395 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4396 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4397 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4398 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows

4400 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4520 update your "use" line and declare an appropriate dependancy. (Closes:

4558 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
4559 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4614 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

4629 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4630 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
4631 * debhelper.1: documented this.

4706 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4707 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4708 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4722 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
4723 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4724 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4770 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)

4772 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
4773 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
4774 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4877 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
4878 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4880 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

5336 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5337 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5338 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5516 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5517 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5518 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5519 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5520 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5521 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5522 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5523 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5524 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5525 passed any switches.
5526 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

5706 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5707 past week. Thanks, guys!
5709 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5710 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5711 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5712 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5713 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5714 would do in the same situation.
5715 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5716 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5718 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5720 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5721 permissions changed.
5722 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5723 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5724 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5725 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5726 files are treated identically.
5727 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5740 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5741 use -X multiple times, too.

6016 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6018 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6019 are supported. (#16935)

6054 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6055 a given package, or -i or -a.
6056 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6057 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6059 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6061 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6142 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
