3 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
4 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
5 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
6 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
7 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
8 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
9 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

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

1485 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1486 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1487 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1488 dh_install, which ...
1489 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1490 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1491 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1492 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1493 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1494 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1495 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1496 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1497 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1498 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1499 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1500 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1501 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1502 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1503 other minor changes.
1504 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1505 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1506 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1507 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1508 course there's -X ..)
1509 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1510 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1511 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1513 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1514 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1515 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1516 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1517 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1561 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1562 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1563 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1564 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1565 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
1567 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
1568 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

1592 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1594 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1595 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1596 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1597 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1598 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1599 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1600 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1601 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1602 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1603 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1604 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1605 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1606 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1607 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1608 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1609 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1611 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1644 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1646 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1647 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1648 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1649 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1650 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1651 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1652 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1653 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1654 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1838 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1839 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1840 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1866 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1867 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1868 program those options go to. So, for example,
1869 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2072 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2074 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2075 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2076 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2077 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2078 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2079 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2080 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2081 but is mildly deprecated.
2082 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2083 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2084 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2085 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2086 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2087 switching to statoverrides..
2088 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2089 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2090 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2091 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2092 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2093 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2095 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2096 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2097 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2098 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2099 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2100 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2101 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2102 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2103 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2105 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2106 variable names, pod man pages).
2107 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2108 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2109 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2110 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2111 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2112 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2113 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2185 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2186 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2188 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2279 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2280 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2281 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2282 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2284 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2285 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2286 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2288 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2290 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2291 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2292 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2337 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2529 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2530 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2531 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2532 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2533 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2534 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2535 notice until v2 is complete.
2536 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2537 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2538 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses

2757 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2758 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2759 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2760 bits until all files have been registered.

2770 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2771 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2772 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2773 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2774 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2775 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2776 otherwise change the result at all.
2778 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2779 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2780 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2898 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2899 I made some changes, though:
2900 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2901 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2902 that is a clear violation of policy.
2903 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2904 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2905 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2906 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2907 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2908 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2909 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2910 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2911 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2913 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3074 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
3076 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3077 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3078 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3079 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3080 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3081 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3082 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3083 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3084 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3085 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3086 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3087 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3088 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3092 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3094 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3095 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3096 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3098 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3099 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3100 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3101 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3102 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3103 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3105 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3106 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3154 debhelper (2.0.22) unstable; urgency=low
3156 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
3157 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
3158 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
3159 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3160 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3161 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3162 it's always available.

3169 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

3204 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
3205 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
3206 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

3261 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3262 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3263 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3264 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3332 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3333 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3334 * debhelper.1: documented this.

3336 current compatability level is equal to that number.

3409 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3410 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3411 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3426 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3427 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4039 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

4078 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4079 sections of shared libraries.
4080 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4081 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4082 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4083 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4084 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4085 things you don't want them to.

4146 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4147 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4148 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4149 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4150 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4222 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).

4224 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4225 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4226 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4409 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4410 past week. Thanks, guys!
4412 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4413 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4414 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4415 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4416 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4417 would do in the same situation.
4418 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4419 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4421 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4423 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4424 permissions changed.

4426 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4427 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4428 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4429 files are treated identically.

4757 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4758 a given package, or -i or -a.
4759 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4760 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5056 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5058 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5059 is ready for general use.
5060 * Added man pages for all commands.
5061 * Multiple binary package support.
5062 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5063 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5064 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5066 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5067 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5068 auto-installed as parameters.
5069 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5071 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5074 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5075 the package build directory it is to act on.
5076 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5077 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5078 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
