3 * dh_bugfiles: Doc typo. Closes: #563269
4 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
5 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
6 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
7 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
8 options that they do not support.
9 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
10 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
11 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
12 (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)

86 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
87 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
88 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
89 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
90 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
91 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
92 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
93 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
94 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
95 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
96 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
97 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
98 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
99 time soon.) Closes: #554509

109 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
110 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
112 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
113 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
114 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

146 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
147 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
148 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
149 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
150 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
151 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers

174 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
175 flag with arch all/any packages.
176 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
177 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
178 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
179 situation. Closes: #540794

334 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
335 contributed by Modestas Vainius
336 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
337 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
338 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
339 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
340 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
341 that support it. Closes: #480577
342 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
343 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
344 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
346 - Adds support for cmake.
347 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
348 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
350 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
352 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
353 that use them. The options are:
354 --sourcedir, --destdir
355 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
356 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
357 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
358 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
359 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

637 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

642 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
643 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
644 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
645 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
646 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1194 script and then remove the python files.
1195 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1196 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1197 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1198 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1199 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1204 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1328 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1329 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1330 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1331 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1332 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1333 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1334 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1336 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1337 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1338 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

1521 templates files via debconf-mergetemplate (keep a warning if any are

1558 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
1559 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
1560 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
1561 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
1562 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
1563 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
1564 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

1593 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
1594 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
1595 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1596 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
1597 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
1598 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
1599 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

1714 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility
1715 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1716 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1717 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1718 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2599 debhelper (4.1.37) unstable; urgency=low
2601 * dh_installmenu: Refer to menufile(5) instead of 5L so as not to confuse

2620 debhelper (4.1.33) unstable; urgency=low
2622 * wiggy didn't take my hint about making update-modules send warnings to

2626 usr/share/doc, not in a deeper tree. Closes: #152602

2658 * dh_python: Bug fix from Josselin Mouette for case of building an arch
2659 indep python package depending on a arch dependent package. However, I
2660 used GetPackages() rather than add yet another control file parser.

2680 debhelper (4.1.26) unstable; urgency=low

2717 debhelper (4.1.21) unstable; urgency=low
2719 * Make dh_install --list-missing honor -X excludes. Closes: #168739
2720 * As a special case, if --sourcedir is not set (so is "."), make
2721 --list-missing look only at what is in debian/tmp. This is gross, but
2722 people have come to depend on that behavior, and that combination has no
2723 other sane meaning. Closes: #168751
2725 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 14 Nov 2002 10:56:21 -0500
2727 debhelper (4.1.20) unstable; urgency=low

2757 debhelper (4.1.16) unstable; urgency=low
2759 * Depend on po-debconf, and I hope I can drop the debconf-utils dep soon.
2761 * Removed debconf-utils build-dep. Have no idea why that was there.
2762 * dh_installman: Don't use extended section as section name for translated
2763 man pages, use only the numeric section as is done for regular man pages.

2768 debhelper (4.1.15) unstable; urgency=low
2770 * dh_compress: Exclude .css files, to prevent broken links from html files,
2771 and since they are generally small, and since this matches existing
2772 practice. Closes: #163303

2789 debhelper (4.1.12) unstable; urgency=low
2791 * The "reverse hangover" release.
2792 * dh_strip: better documentation, removed extraneous "item" from SYNOPSIS.
2794 * dh_strip: detect and don't strip debug/*.so files.
2795 * Note that 4.1.11 changelog entry was incorrect, dh_perl worked fine
2796 without that change, but the new behavior is less likely to break things
2797 if dpkg-gencontrol changes.
2798 * Various improvements to debhelper(1).

2802 debhelper (4.1.11) unstable; urgency=low
2804 * Make addsubstvars remove old instances of line before adding new. This

2823 debhelper (4.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
2825 * Use invoke-rc.d always now that it is in policy. Fall back to old behavior
2826 if invoke-rc.d is not present, so versioned deps on sysvinit are not

2856 debhelper (4.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
2858 * dh_installinit: Always start daemon on upgraded even if
2859 --no-restart-on-upgrade is given; since the daemon is not stopped
2860 with that parameter starting it again is a no-op, unless the daemon was
2861 not running for some reason. This makes transtions to using the flag
2862 easier. Closes: #90976 and sorry it took me so long to verify you were

2888 debhelper (4.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
2890 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
2891 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
2892 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
2893 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
2894 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
2895 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

2899 debhelper (4.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
2901 * Removed a seemingly useless -dDepends in dh_shlibdeps's call to
2902 dpkg-shalibdeps; this allows for stuff like dh_shlibdeps -- -dRecommends

2909 debhelper (4.0.17) unstable; urgency=low

2912 This makes it properly install syml8inks, cf my rpm bug.

2919 * Pound home in dh_installman's man page that yet, it really does do the
2920 right thing. Closes: #150644

2938 debhelper (4.0.13) unstable; urgency=low
2940 * Added --mainpackage= option, of use in some kernel modules packages.
2941 * dh_gencontrol only needs to pass -p to dpkg-gencontrol if there is more
2942 than one package in debian/control. This makes it a bit more flexible in

2953 debhelper (4.0.11) unstable; urgency=low

2960 debhelper (4.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
2962 * Consistently use the which command instead of command -v or hardcoded
2963 paths in autoscripts. Neither is in posix, but which is in debianutils, so
2964 will always be available. command -v is not available in zsh.

2984 * dh_strip: If a file is an ELF shared binary, does not have a .so.* in its
2985 name, stirp it as a ELF binary. It seems that GNUstep has files of this
2986 sort. See bug #35733 (not sufficient to close all of it).

3002 debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
3004 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
3005 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
3006 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
3007 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
3008 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
3009 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
3010 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
3011 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
3012 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

3038 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3040 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3041 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3042 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3043 dh_install, which ...
3044 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3045 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3046 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3047 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3048 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3049 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3050 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3051 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3052 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3053 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3054 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3055 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3056 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3057 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3058 other minor changes.
3059 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3060 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3061 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3062 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3063 course there's -X ..)
3064 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3065 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3066 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3068 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3069 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3070 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3071 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3072 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3116 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3117 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3118 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3119 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3120 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3147 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3149 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3150 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3151 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3152 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3153 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3154 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3155 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3156 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3157 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3158 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3159 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3160 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3161 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3162 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3163 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3164 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3166 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3180 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
3182 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3183 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3184 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3185 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3186 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

3199 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3201 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3202 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3203 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3204 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3205 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3206 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3207 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3208 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3209 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3393 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3394 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3395 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3567 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3568 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3569 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3570 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3571 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3572 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3573 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3627 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3629 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3630 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3631 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3632 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3633 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3634 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3635 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3636 but is mildly deprecated.
3637 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3638 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3639 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3640 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3641 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3642 switching to statoverrides..
3643 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3644 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3645 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3646 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3647 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3648 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3650 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3651 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3652 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3653 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3654 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3655 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3656 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3657 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3658 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3660 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3661 variable names, pod man pages).
3662 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3663 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3664 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3665 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3666 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3667 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3668 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3740 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3741 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3743 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3834 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3835 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3836 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3837 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3839 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3840 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3841 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3843 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

3846 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3847 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4084 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4085 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4086 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4087 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4088 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4089 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4090 notice until v2 is complete.
4091 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4092 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4093 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4094 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4095 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4096 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4098 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4099 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4100 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4101 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4222 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4223 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4225 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4226 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4227 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4228 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4311 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4312 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4313 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4314 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4315 bits until all files have been registered.

4325 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4326 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4327 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4328 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4329 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4330 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4331 otherwise change the result at all.
4333 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4334 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4454 I made some changes, though:
4455 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4456 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4457 that is a clear violation of policy.
4458 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4459 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4460 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4461 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4462 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4463 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4464 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4465 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4466 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4468 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4510 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4511 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4512 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

4514 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4515 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

4632 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4633 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4634 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4635 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4636 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4637 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4638 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4639 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4640 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4641 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4642 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4643 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5351 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5352 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5573 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5574 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5575 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5576 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5590 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5591 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5592 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5593 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5594 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5595 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5596 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5597 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5633 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5634 sections of shared libraries.
5635 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5636 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5637 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5638 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5639 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5640 things you don't want them to.

5779 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5780 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5781 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5968 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5969 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5970 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5971 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5972 would do in the same situation.

6313 a given package, or -i or -a.
6314 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6315 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6533 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6534 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6535 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6536 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6537 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6541 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6543 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6544 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6545 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6546 multiple binary packages.
6547 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6548 should rebuild them with this version.
6549 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6567 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6569 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6570 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6571 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6572 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6573 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6574 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6575 debian/README.debian.
6576 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6577 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6578 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6579 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6580 in a few situations.)

6586 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

6611 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6613 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6614 is ready for general use.
6615 * Added man pages for all commands.
6616 * Multiple binary package support.
6617 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6618 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6619 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6621 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6622 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6623 auto-installed as parameters.
6624 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6626 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6629 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6630 the package build directory it is to act on.
6631 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6632 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6633 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
