450 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
451 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
452 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
453 dh_install, which ...
454 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
455 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
456 mess, as it uses debian/install.
457 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
458 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
459 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
460 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
461 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
462 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
463 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
464 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
465 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
466 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
467 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
469 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
470 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
471 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
472 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
473 course there's -X ..)
474 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
475 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
476 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
478 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
479 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
480 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
481 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
482 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

529 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
530 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

557 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
559 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
560 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
561 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
562 line, as well as in debian/rules.
563 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
564 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
565 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
566 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
567 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
568 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
569 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
570 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
571 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
572 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
573 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
574 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
576 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

833 program those options go to. So, for example,
834 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1042 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1043 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1044 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1045 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1046 but is mildly deprecated.
1047 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1048 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1049 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1050 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1051 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1052 switching to statoverrides..
1053 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1054 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1055 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1056 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1057 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1058 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1060 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1061 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1062 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1063 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1064 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1065 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1066 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1067 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1068 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1070 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1071 variable names, pod man pages).
1072 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1073 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1074 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1075 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1076 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1077 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1078 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1243 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
1244 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1245 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1246 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1247 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1249 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1250 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1251 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1253 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
1255 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
1256 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1257 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1258 should now be raised to severity important..

1494 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1495 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1496 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1497 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1498 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1499 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1500 notice until v2 is complete.
1501 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1502 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1503 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1504 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1505 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1506 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

1632 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
1633 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
1635 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
1636 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
1637 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
1638 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
1639 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
1640 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

1719 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
1720 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
1721 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
1722 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1723 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1724 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1725 bits until all files have been registered.

1734 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
1735 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
1736 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1737 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
1738 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
1739 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
1740 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1741 otherwise change the result at all.
1743 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1744 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
1745 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

1763 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
1764 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
1766 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
1767 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
1768 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
1769 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

1863 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
1864 I made some changes, though:
1865 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1866 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1867 that is a clear violation of policy.
1868 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1869 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1870 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1871 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1872 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1873 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1874 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1875 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1876 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1878 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

1922 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
1923 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
1924 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2049 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2050 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2051 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2052 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2053 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2059 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2060 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2061 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2063 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2064 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2065 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2066 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2067 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2068 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2070 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2071 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2576 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of

2761 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
2762 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
2763 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
2764 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

2789 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
2790 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
2791 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
2792 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

2795 suidregister actually supports it.
2796 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
2797 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

2813 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
2814 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).

3002 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3003 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3004 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3005 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3006 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3007 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3047 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3048 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3049 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

3111 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3112 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3113 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3114 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3115 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3116 I apologize for the inconvenience.

3119 remove debian/files properly.

3189 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3190 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3191 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3374 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3375 past week. Thanks, guys!
3377 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3378 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3379 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3380 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3381 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3382 would do in the same situation.
3383 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3384 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3386 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3388 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3389 permissions changed.

3391 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3392 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3393 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3394 files are treated identically.

3409 use -X multiple times, too.

3539 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
3540 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
3541 no packages use the old behavior.

3722 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3723 a given package, or -i or -a.
3724 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3725 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3726 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3727 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

3729 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

3731 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
