13 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
14 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
15 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
16 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

166 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
167 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5

169 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
170 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1051 debhelper (4.1.37) unstable; urgency=low

1072 debhelper (4.1.33) unstable; urgency=low
1074 * wiggy didn't take my hint about making update-modules send warnings to
1075 stderr, so its overly verbose stdout is now directed to /dev/null to
1076 prevent conflicts with debconf. Closes: #150804
1077 * dh_fixperms: only skip examples directories which in a parent of
1078 usr/share/doc, not in a deeper tree. Closes: #152602

1110 * dh_python: Bug fix from Josselin Mouette for case of building an arch
1111 indep python package depending on a arch dependent package. However, I
1112 used GetPackages() rather than add yet another control file parser.

1171 * Make dh_install --list-missing honor -X excludes. Closes: #168739
1172 * As a special case, if --sourcedir is not set (so is "."), make
1173 --list-missing look only at what is in debian/tmp. This is gross, but
1174 people have come to depend on that behavior, and that combination has no
1175 other sane meaning. Closes: #168751

1213 * Removed debconf-utils build-dep. Have no idea why that was there.

1215 man pages, use only the numeric section as is done for regular man pages.

1243 * The "reverse hangover" release.
1244 * dh_strip: better documentation, removed extraneous "item" from SYNOPSIS.
1246 * dh_strip: detect and don't strip debug/*.so files.
1247 * Note that 4.1.11 changelog entry was incorrect, dh_perl worked fine
1248 without that change, but the new behavior is less likely to break things
1249 if dpkg-gencontrol changes.
1250 * Various improvements to debhelper(1).

1308 debhelper (4.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
1310 * dh_installinit: Always start daemon on upgraded even if
1311 --no-restart-on-upgrade is given; since the daemon is not stopped
1312 with that parameter starting it again is a no-op, unless the daemon was
1313 not running for some reason. This makes transtions to using the flag
1314 easier. Closes: #90976 and sorry it took me so long to verify you were

1340 debhelper (4.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
1342 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
1343 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
1344 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
1345 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
1346 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
1347 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

1351 debhelper (4.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
1353 * Removed a seemingly useless -dDepends in dh_shlibdeps's call to
1354 dpkg-shalibdeps; this allows for stuff like dh_shlibdeps -- -dRecommends

1393 * dh_gencontrol only needs to pass -p to dpkg-gencontrol if there is more
1394 than one package in debian/control. This makes it a bit more flexible in

1405 debhelper (4.0.11) unstable; urgency=low

1414 * Consistently use the which command instead of command -v or hardcoded
1415 paths in autoscripts. Neither is in posix, but which is in debianutils, so

1434 debhelper (4.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
1436 * dh_strip: If a file is an ELF shared binary, does not have a .so.* in its
1437 name, stirp it as a ELF binary. It seems that GNUstep has files of this
1438 sort. See bug #35733 (not sufficient to close all of it).

1454 debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
1456 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
1457 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
1458 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
1459 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
1460 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
1461 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
1462 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
1463 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
1464 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

1490 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1492 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1493 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1494 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1495 dh_install, which ...
1496 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1497 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1498 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1499 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1500 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1501 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1502 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1503 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1504 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1505 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1506 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1507 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1508 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1509 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1510 other minor changes.
1511 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1512 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1513 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1514 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1515 course there's -X ..)
1516 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1517 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1518 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1520 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1521 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1522 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1523 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1524 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1568 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1569 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1570 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1571 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1572 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
1574 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

1599 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1601 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1602 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1603 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1604 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1605 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1606 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1607 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1608 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1609 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1610 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1611 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1612 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1613 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1614 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1615 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1616 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1618 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1651 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1653 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1654 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1655 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1656 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1657 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1658 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1659 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1660 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1661 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1842 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1843 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1844 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1845 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1846 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1847 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1873 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1874 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1875 program those options go to. So, for example,
1876 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1877 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2062 * Updated dh_perl to a new version for the new perl organization and

2065 * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current
2066 debhelper coding standards.

2079 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2081 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2082 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2083 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2084 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2085 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2086 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2087 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2088 but is mildly deprecated.
2089 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2090 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2091 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2092 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2093 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2094 switching to statoverrides..
2095 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2096 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2097 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2098 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2099 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2100 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2102 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2103 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2104 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2105 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2106 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2107 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2108 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2109 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2110 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2112 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2113 variable names, pod man pages).
2114 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2115 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2116 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2117 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2118 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2119 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2120 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2189 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2190 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2191 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2192 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2193 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2194 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2195 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2196 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2197 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2198 it is an obsolete program.

2286 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2287 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2288 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2289 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2291 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2292 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2293 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2295 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2297 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2298 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2299 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2300 should now be raised to severity important..

2343 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2344 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2538 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2539 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2540 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my

2542 notice until v2 is complete.
2543 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2544 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2545 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2546 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2547 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2548 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2550 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2551 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2552 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2553 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2763 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2764 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2765 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2766 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2767 bits until all files have been registered.

2777 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2778 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2779 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2780 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2781 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2782 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2783 otherwise change the result at all.
2785 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2786 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2787 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2906 I made some changes, though:
2907 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2908 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2909 that is a clear violation of policy.
2910 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2911 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2912 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2913 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2914 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2915 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2916 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2917 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2918 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2920 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3083 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3084 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3085 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3086 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3087 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3088 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3089 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3090 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3091 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3092 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3093 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3094 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3095 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3101 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3102 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3103 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3105 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3106 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3107 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3108 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3109 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3110 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3803 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3804 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

3855 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

4046 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4047 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4048 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4049 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4062 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

4085 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4086 sections of shared libraries.
4087 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4088 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4089 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4090 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4091 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4092 things you don't want them to.
4093 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4094 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4121 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4122 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4123 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

4153 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4154 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4155 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4156 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4157 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4158 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4160 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4161 remove debian/files properly.
4162 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

4164 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4181 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4182 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4213 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4214 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4225 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4226 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4227 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4228 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4229 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4230 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4231 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4232 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4233 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4235 passed any switches.

4416 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4417 past week. Thanks, guys!
4419 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4420 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4421 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4422 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4423 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4424 would do in the same situation.
4425 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4426 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4428 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4430 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4431 permissions changed.
4432 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4433 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4434 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4435 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4436 files are treated identically.
4437 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4450 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4451 use -X multiple times, too.

4579 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
4580 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4581 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4582 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4583 no packages use the old behavior.

4713 argument processor in perl.

4726 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4727 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4728 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4729 are supported. (#16935)

4744 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
4746 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
4747 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4748 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4749 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4750 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

4755 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4757 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4758 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4759 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4761 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4762 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4763 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4764 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4765 a given package, or -i or -a.
4766 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4767 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4768 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4769 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4770 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4771 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4772 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4773 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4774 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4776 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4777 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

4800 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4801 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

4828 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

4849 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4850 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4851 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4852 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4853 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4854 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

5063 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5065 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5066 is ready for general use.
5067 * Added man pages for all commands.
5068 * Multiple binary package support.
5069 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5070 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5071 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5073 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5074 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5075 auto-installed as parameters.
5076 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5078 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5081 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5082 the package build directory it is to act on.
5083 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5084 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5085 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
