1051 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
1052 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

1159 debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
1161 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
1162 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
1163 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
1164 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
1165 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
1166 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847

1195 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1197 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1198 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1199 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1200 dh_install, which ...
1201 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1202 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1203 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1204 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1205 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1206 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1207 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1208 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1209 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1210 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1211 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1212 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1213 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1214 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1215 other minor changes.
1216 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1217 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1218 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1219 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1220 course there's -X ..)
1221 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1222 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1223 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1225 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1226 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1227 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1228 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1229 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1271 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
1273 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1274 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1275 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1276 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1277 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
1279 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
1280 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

1299 * dh_installxfonts: separate multiple commands with \n so sed doesn't get
1300 upset. Closes: #131322

1304 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1306 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1307 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1308 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1309 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1310 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1311 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1312 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1313 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1314 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1315 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1316 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1317 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1318 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1319 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1320 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1321 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1323 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1330 - Better indenting of generated code.
1331 - Better ordering of generated code (minor fix).

1335 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
1337 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
1339 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
1340 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1341 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1342 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1343 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1344 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
1345 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

1356 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1358 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1359 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1360 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1361 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1362 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1363 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1364 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1365 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1366 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
1367 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
1368 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.
1369 * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the
1370 distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used

1542 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1543 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1544 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1545 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1546 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1547 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1548 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1549 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1550 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1551 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1552 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1553 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1554 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1575 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1576 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1577 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1578 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1579 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1580 program those options go to. So, for example,
1581 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1582 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1726 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1727 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1728 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1729 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1786 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1787 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1788 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1789 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1790 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1792 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1793 but is mildly deprecated.
1794 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1795 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1796 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1797 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1798 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1799 switching to statoverrides..
1800 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1801 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1802 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1803 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1804 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1805 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1807 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1808 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1809 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1810 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1811 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1812 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1813 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1814 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1815 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1817 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1818 variable names, pod man pages).
1819 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1820 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1821 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1822 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1823 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1824 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1825 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2047 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2048 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2049 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2050 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2062 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2063 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

2066 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2241 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2242 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2243 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2244 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2245 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2246 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2247 notice until v2 is complete.
2248 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2249 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2250 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2251 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2252 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2253 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2255 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2256 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2257 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2258 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2379 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2380 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2382 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2383 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2384 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2385 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2469 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2470 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2471 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2472 bits until all files have been registered.

2484 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2485 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100

2545 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
2546 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

2553 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This

2610 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2611 I made some changes, though:
2612 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2613 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2614 that is a clear violation of policy.
2615 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2616 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2617 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2618 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2619 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2620 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2621 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2622 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2623 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2625 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2793 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2794 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2795 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2796 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2797 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2798 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2799 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3042 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3043 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3044 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3045 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3048 current compatability level is equal to that number.

3076 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.

3121 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3122 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3123 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3138 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3139 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3185 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)

3187 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3555 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
3557 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
3558 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3559 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3560 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3561 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3562 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3563 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3564 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3592 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3593 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3594 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
3595 effect, either. (#30118)

3731 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3732 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3733 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3748 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3749 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3750 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3751 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3752 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3753 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3754 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3793 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3794 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3795 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3796 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3797 things you don't want them to.

3861 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3862 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4120 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4121 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4122 past week. Thanks, guys!
4124 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4125 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4126 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4127 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4128 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4129 would do in the same situation.
4130 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4131 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4133 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4135 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4136 permissions changed.
4137 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4138 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4139 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4140 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4141 files are treated identically.
4142 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4143 * Minor man page fixes.
4144 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4156 use -X multiple times, too.

4532 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
4533 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
4534 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.

4554 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4555 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4556 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4557 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4558 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4559 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4560 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4638 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4639 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4728 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4729 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4730 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4731 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4732 debian/README.debian.
4733 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4734 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4735 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4736 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4737 in a few situations.)

4783 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4786 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4787 the package build directory it is to act on.
4788 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4789 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4790 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
