9 * dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933
10 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
11 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
12 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
13 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
14 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
15 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
16 logging by dh_listpackages.

52 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
53 planned but not yet implemented.)
54 * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
55 if the Makefile has such a target.
56 * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
57 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

59 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
60 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned

63 recommended default, especially when using dh.

65 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

520 * Non-maintainer upload.
521 * Update of dh_python
522 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
523 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
524 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
525 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
526 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
527 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
528 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
529 specific python version. Closes: #373853
530 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
531 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
533 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
534 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
535 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
536 the not too-distant future).
537 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
538 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
539 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
540 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
541 thus made the build fail.

2237 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2238 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2239 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2240 dh_install, which ...
2241 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2242 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2243 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2244 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2245 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2246 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2247 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2248 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2249 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2250 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2251 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2252 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2253 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2254 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2255 other minor changes.
2256 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2257 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2258 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2259 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2260 course there's -X ..)
2261 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2262 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2263 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2265 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2266 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2267 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2268 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2269 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2313 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2314 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2315 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2316 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2317 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2344 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2346 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2347 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2348 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2349 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2350 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2351 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2352 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2353 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2354 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2355 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2356 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2357 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2358 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2359 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2360 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2361 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2363 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2380 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2381 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2382 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2383 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2384 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
2385 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

2398 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2399 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2400 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2401 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2402 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2403 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2404 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2405 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2406 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2582 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2583 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2584 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2585 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2586 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2587 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2588 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2589 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2590 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2591 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2592 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2593 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2594 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2616 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2617 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2618 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2619 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2620 program those options go to. So, for example,
2621 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2622 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2766 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2767 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2768 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2769 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2824 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2826 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2827 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2828 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2829 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2830 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2831 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2832 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2833 but is mildly deprecated.
2834 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2835 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2836 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2837 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2838 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2839 switching to statoverrides..
2840 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2841 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2842 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2843 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2844 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2845 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2847 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2848 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2849 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2850 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2851 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2852 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2853 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2854 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2855 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2857 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2858 variable names, pod man pages).
2859 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2860 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2861 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2862 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2863 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2864 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2865 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3018 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
3019 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
3020 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
3021 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
3022 backwards-compatability.

3026 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3028 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3029 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3030 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3031 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3032 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3033 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3034 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3036 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3037 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3038 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3040 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3042 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3043 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3044 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3045 should now be raised to severity important..
3046 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3047 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3087 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3088 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3089 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3090 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3105 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3106 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3281 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3282 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3283 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3284 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3285 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3286 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3287 notice until v2 is complete.
3288 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3289 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3290 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3291 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3292 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3293 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3295 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3296 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3297 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3510 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3528 otherwise change the result at all.
3530 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3531 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3532 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3533 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
3534 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

3547 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
3548 act on files that don't exist.
3549 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3550 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3551 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3553 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3554 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3555 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3556 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3574 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
3575 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

3579 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
3581 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
3582 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
3584 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
3585 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
3586 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

3590 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low
3592 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3593 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3594 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3595 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
3596 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
3597 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
3598 does not compress. Closes: #41733
3599 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
3601 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.

3648 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
3649 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3650 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3651 I made some changes, though:
3652 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3653 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3654 that is a clear violation of policy.
3655 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3656 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3657 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3658 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3659 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3660 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3661 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3662 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3663 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3665 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3684 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3685 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
3686 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

3706 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
3707 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3708 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3709 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3710 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3711 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3712 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3713 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3828 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3829 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3830 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3831 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3832 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3833 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3834 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3835 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3836 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3837 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3838 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3839 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3840 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3846 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3847 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3848 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3850 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3851 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3852 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3853 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3854 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3855 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3857 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3858 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4050 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
4051 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base

4178 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4179 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4578 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4579 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4582 suidregister actually supports it.

4791 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4792 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4793 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5023 * New unstable branch of debhelper.
5025 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
5026 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
5027 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
5028 updating 27 man pages.
5029 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
5030 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
5031 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
5032 * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
5033 programs act on. (#25247)

5041 * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
5042 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
5043 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
5044 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
5045 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
5046 bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go

5159 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5160 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5161 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5162 past week. Thanks, guys!
5164 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5165 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5166 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5167 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5168 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5169 would do in the same situation.
5170 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5171 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5173 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5175 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5176 permissions changed.
5177 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5178 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5179 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5180 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5181 files are treated identically.
5182 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5183 * Minor man page fixes.
5184 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5185 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5186 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5193 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5194 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5195 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5196 use -X multiple times, too.
5197 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5198 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5219 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
5220 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
5221 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
5222 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5223 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5224 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5226 shape if you're starting a new package.

5255 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
5256 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
5257 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
5258 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

5325 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.

5516 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5517 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5518 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5519 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

5522 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5523 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5545 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5546 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5547 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

5595 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5596 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5597 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5598 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5599 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5600 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5678 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5679 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5769 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5770 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5771 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5772 debian/README.debian.
5773 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5774 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5775 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5776 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5777 in a few situations.)

5826 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5827 the package build directory it is to act on.
5828 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5829 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
