1081 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for

1114 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1115 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1116 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1117 dh_install, which ...
1118 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1119 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1120 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1121 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1122 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1123 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1124 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1125 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1126 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1127 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1128 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1129 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1130 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1131 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1132 other minor changes.
1133 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1134 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1135 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1136 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1137 course there's -X ..)
1138 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1139 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1140 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1142 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1143 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1144 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1145 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1146 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1190 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1191 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1192 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1193 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1194 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1221 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1223 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1224 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1225 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1226 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1227 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1228 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1229 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1230 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1231 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1232 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1233 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1234 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1235 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1236 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1237 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1238 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1240 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1273 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1275 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1276 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1277 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1278 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1279 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1280 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1281 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1282 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1283 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1643 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities

1701 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1703 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1704 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1705 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1706 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1707 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1709 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1710 but is mildly deprecated.
1711 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1712 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1713 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1714 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1715 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1716 switching to statoverrides..
1717 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1718 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1719 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1720 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1721 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1722 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1724 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1725 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1726 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1727 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1728 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1729 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1730 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1731 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1732 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1734 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1735 variable names, pod man pages).
1736 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1737 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1738 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1739 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1740 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1741 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1742 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2158 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2159 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2160 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2161 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2162 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2163 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2164 notice until v2 is complete.
2165 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2166 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2167 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2168 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2169 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2170 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2172 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2173 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2174 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2296 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2297 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2299 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2386 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2387 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2388 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2389 bits until all files have been registered.

2528 I made some changes, though:
2529 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2530 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2531 that is a clear violation of policy.
2532 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2533 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2534 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2535 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2536 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2537 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2538 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2539 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2540 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories

2561 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
2562 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing

2583 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
2584 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2585 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,

2706 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2707 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2708 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2709 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2710 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2711 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2712 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2713 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2714 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2715 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2716 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2717 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2725 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2727 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2728 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2729 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2730 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2731 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2732 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3648 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3649 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

3664 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3665 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3666 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3667 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3668 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3669 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3670 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3671 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3707 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3708 sections of shared libraries.

3710 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3711 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3712 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3713 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3714 things you don't want them to.

3853 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3854 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3855 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4043 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4044 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4045 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4046 would do in the same situation.
4047 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4048 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4050 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4052 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4053 permissions changed.
4054 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4055 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4056 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4057 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4058 files are treated identically.
4059 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4060 * Minor man page fixes.
4061 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4062 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4063 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4070 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4071 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4072 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4073 use -X multiple times, too.
4074 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4075 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4549 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
4551 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
4552 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4553 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4554 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4555 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4556 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4605 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
4607 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4608 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4609 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4610 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4611 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4615 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4617 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4618 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4619 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4620 multiple binary packages.
4621 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4622 should rebuild them with this version.
4623 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4641 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4643 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4644 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4645 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4646 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4647 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4648 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4649 debian/README.debian.
4650 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4651 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4652 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4653 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4654 in a few situations.)

4658 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

4685 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4687 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4688 is ready for general use.
4689 * Added man pages for all commands.
4690 * Multiple binary package support.
4691 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4692 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4693 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4695 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4696 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4697 auto-installed as parameters.
4698 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4700 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4703 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4704 the package build directory it is to act on.
4705 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4706 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4707 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
