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

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

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

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

1036 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1037 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1038 but is mildly deprecated.
1039 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1040 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1041 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1042 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1043 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1044 switching to statoverrides..
1045 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1046 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1047 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1048 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1049 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1050 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1052 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1053 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1054 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1055 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1056 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1057 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1058 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1059 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1060 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1062 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1063 variable names, pod man pages).
1064 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1065 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1066 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1067 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1068 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1069 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1070 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1235 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
1236 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1237 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1238 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1239 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1241 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1242 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1243 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1245 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
1247 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
1248 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1249 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1250 should now be raised to severity important..

1486 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1487 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1488 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1489 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1490 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1491 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1492 notice until v2 is complete.
1493 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1494 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1495 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1496 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1497 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1498 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

1538 of the supported stuff should be called if the postist is called for
1539 error unwinds. Closes: #66673

1629 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
1630 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
1631 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

1714 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1715 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1716 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1717 bits until all files have been registered.

1728 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1729 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

1856 I made some changes, though:
1857 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1858 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1859 that is a clear violation of policy.
1860 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1861 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1862 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1863 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1864 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1865 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1866 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1867 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1868 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1870 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2044 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2045 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2051 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2052 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2053 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2055 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2056 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2057 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2058 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2059 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2060 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2062 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2063 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2753 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
2754 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

2783 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

2787 suidregister actually supports it.

2996 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
2997 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
2998 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
2999 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3071 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3072 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

3103 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3104 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3105 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3106 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3107 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3108 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3110 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3111 remove debian/files properly.
3112 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

3179 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3180 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3181 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3182 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3183 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3366 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3367 past week. Thanks, guys!
3369 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3370 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3371 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3372 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3373 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3374 would do in the same situation.
3375 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3376 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3378 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3380 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3381 permissions changed.
3382 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3383 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3384 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3385 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3386 files are treated identically.

3400 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3401 use -X multiple times, too.

3676 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

3678 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
3679 are supported. (#16935)

3697 version requirements in the shlibs file.
3698 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

3707 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
3708 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

3712 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
3713 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
3714 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3715 a given package, or -i or -a.
3716 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3717 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3718 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3719 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
3720 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
3721 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
3722 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
3723 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

3800 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
3801 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
3802 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
3803 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
