29 tarballs that contain debian directories, by allowing debhelper config
30 files in those directories to be ignored, since there's generally no
31 good way to delete them out of the upstream tarball, and they can easily
32 get in the way if upstream is using debian/ differently than the Debian

140 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
141 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
143 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
144 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
145 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
146 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
147 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
148 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
149 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
150 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
151 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

153 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

159 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
160 package install. Closes: #415717
161 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
162 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
163 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
164 script and then remove the python files.
165 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
166 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
167 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
168 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
169 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
170 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
171 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
172 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
173 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
174 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
175 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
176 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
177 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

264 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
265 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
266 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
267 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
268 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
269 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
270 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
271 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.

293 * Non-maintainer upload.
294 * Update of dh_python
295 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
296 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
297 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
298 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
299 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
300 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
301 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
302 specific python version. Closes: #373853
303 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
304 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
306 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
307 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
308 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
309 the not too-distant future).
310 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
311 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
312 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
313 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

530 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
531 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
532 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
533 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
534 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

688 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2011 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2012 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2013 dh_install, which ...
2014 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2015 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2016 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2017 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2018 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2019 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2020 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2021 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2022 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2023 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2024 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2025 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2026 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2027 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2028 other minor changes.
2029 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2030 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2031 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039

2035 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2086 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2087 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2088 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2089 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2090 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2117 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2119 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2120 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2121 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2122 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2123 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2124 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2125 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2126 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2127 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2128 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2129 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2130 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2131 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2132 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2133 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2134 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2136 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2171 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2172 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2173 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2174 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2175 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2176 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2177 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2178 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2359 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2360 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2361 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2362 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2363 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2364 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2365 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2391 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2392 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2393 program those options go to. So, for example,
2394 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2539 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2540 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2541 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2542 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2543 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2544 Closes: #88464, #77743
2545 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2546 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2547 us to deal with that gracefully.

2550 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197
2551 * dh_installdocs and dh_link have been able to make doc-dir symlinks for
2552 a while, Closes: #51225

2597 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2599 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2600 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2601 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2602 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2603 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2604 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2605 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2606 but is mildly deprecated.
2607 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2608 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2609 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2610 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2611 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2612 switching to statoverrides..
2613 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2614 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2615 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2616 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2617 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2618 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2620 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2621 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2622 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2623 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2624 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2625 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2626 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2627 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2628 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2630 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2631 variable names, pod man pages).
2632 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2633 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2634 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2635 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2636 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2637 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2638 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2710 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2711 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2713 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2804 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2805 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2806 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2807 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2809 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2810 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2811 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2813 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2815 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2816 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2817 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2818 should now be raised to severity important..

3054 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3055 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3056 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3057 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3058 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3059 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3060 notice until v2 is complete.
3061 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3062 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3063 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3064 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3065 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3066 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3068 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3069 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3070 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3071 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3195 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3198 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

3281 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3282 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3283 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3284 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3285 bits until all files have been registered.

3297 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3298 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3299 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3300 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3301 otherwise change the result at all.
3303 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3304 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3424 I made some changes, though:
3425 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3426 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3427 that is a clear violation of policy.
3428 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3429 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3430 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3431 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3432 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3433 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3434 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3435 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3436 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3438 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3601 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3602 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3603 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3604 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3605 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3606 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3607 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3608 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3609 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3610 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3611 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3612 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3613 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3619 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3620 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3621 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3623 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3624 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3625 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3626 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3627 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3628 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4559 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4560 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4561 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4562 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4563 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4564 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4565 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4566 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4567 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4579 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
4580 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

4603 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4604 sections of shared libraries.
4605 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4606 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4607 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4608 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4609 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4610 things you don't want them to.

4612 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4671 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4672 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4673 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4674 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4675 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4676 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4678 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4679 remove debian/files properly.
4680 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

4747 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4748 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4749 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4750 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4751 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4934 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the

4937 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4938 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4939 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4940 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4941 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4942 would do in the same situation.
4943 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4944 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4946 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4948 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4949 permissions changed.
4950 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4951 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4952 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4953 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4954 files are treated identically.

5282 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5283 a given package, or -i or -a.
5284 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5285 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5286 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5287 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5288 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5289 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5291 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5537 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5539 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5540 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5541 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5542 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5543 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5544 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5545 debian/README.debian.
5546 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5547 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5548 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5549 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5550 in a few situations.)

5554 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

5560 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5573 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

5581 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5583 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5584 is ready for general use.
5585 * Added man pages for all commands.
5586 * Multiple binary package support.
5587 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5588 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5589 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5591 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5592 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5593 auto-installed as parameters.
5594 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5596 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5599 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5600 the package build directory it is to act on.
5601 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5602 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5603 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
