545 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
546 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

653 debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
655 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
656 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
657 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
658 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
659 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
660 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847

689 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
691 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
692 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
693 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
694 dh_install, which ...
695 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
696 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
697 mess, as it uses debian/install.
698 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
699 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
700 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
701 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
702 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
703 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
704 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
705 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
706 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
707 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
708 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
710 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
711 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
712 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
713 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
714 course there's -X ..)
715 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
716 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
717 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
719 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
720 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
721 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
722 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
723 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

765 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
767 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
768 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
769 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
770 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
771 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
773 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
774 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

793 * dh_installxfonts: separate multiple commands with \n so sed doesn't get
794 upset. Closes: #131322

798 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
800 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
801 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
802 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
803 line, as well as in debian/rules.
804 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
805 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
806 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
807 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
808 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
809 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
810 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
811 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
812 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
813 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
814 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
815 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
817 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

824 - Better indenting of generated code.
825 - Better ordering of generated code (minor fix).

829 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
831 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
833 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
834 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
835 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
836 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
837 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
838 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
839 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

850 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
852 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
853 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
854 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
855 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
856 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
857 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
858 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
859 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
860 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
861 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
862 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.
863 * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the
864 distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used
865 by: 3 packages (bugs filed).

1036 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

1038 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1039 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1040 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1041 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1042 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1043 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1044 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1045 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1046 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1068 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1069 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1070 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1071 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1072 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1073 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1074 program those options go to. So, for example,
1075 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1076 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1077 something complex. Closes: #89311

1217 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1218 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1219 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1220 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1221 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1222 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1223 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1224 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1278 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1280 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1281 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1282 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1283 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1284 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1285 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1286 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1287 but is mildly deprecated.
1288 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1289 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1290 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1291 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1292 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1293 switching to statoverrides..
1294 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1295 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1296 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1297 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1298 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1299 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1301 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1302 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1303 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1304 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1305 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1306 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1307 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1308 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1309 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1311 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1312 variable names, pod man pages).
1313 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1314 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1315 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1316 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1317 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1318 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1319 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1391 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1392 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1394 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

1485 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1490 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1491 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1492 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1540 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
1541 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
1542 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
1543 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
1544 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

1556 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
1557 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
1558 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
1559 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
1560 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
1561 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

1735 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1736 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1737 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1738 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1739 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1740 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1741 notice until v2 is complete.
1742 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1743 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1744 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1745 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1746 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1747 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1749 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1750 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1751 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
1752 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

1876 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

1964 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2104 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2105 I made some changes, though:
2106 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2107 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2108 that is a clear violation of policy.
2109 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2110 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2111 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2112 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2113 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2114 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2115 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2116 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2117 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2119 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2287 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2288 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2289 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2290 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2291 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2292 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2293 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

2569 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
2570 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
2571 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
2572 more than 1 init script.

2615 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
2616 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
2617 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

2632 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
2633 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

2635 x bit was being set!

2679 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
2680 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
2681 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
2682 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
2683 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

2786 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
2787 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

2789 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

3000 debhelper (1.2.24) unstable; urgency=low
3002 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3003 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
3004 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I

3030 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base

3032 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

3086 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3087 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3088 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
3089 effect, either. (#30118)

3224 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3225 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3226 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3227 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3242 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3243 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3244 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3245 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3246 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3247 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3248 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3284 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3285 sections of shared libraries.

3287 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3288 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3289 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3290 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3291 things you don't want them to.

3321 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

3355 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3356 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3613 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
3614 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3615 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3616 past week. Thanks, guys!
3618 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3619 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3620 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3621 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3622 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3623 would do in the same situation.
3624 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3625 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3627 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3629 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3630 permissions changed.
3631 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3632 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3633 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3634 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3635 files are treated identically.
3636 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

3649 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3650 use -X multiple times, too.

4048 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4049 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4050 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4051 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4052 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4053 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4054 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4073 * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
4074 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
4075 the dh_* programs (#15497).
4076 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

4103 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

4126 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
4128 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
4129 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4130 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4131 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4132 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4133 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4192 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4194 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4195 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4196 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4197 multiple binary packages.
4198 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4199 should rebuild them with this version.
4200 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4218 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4220 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4221 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4222 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4223 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4224 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4225 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4226 debian/README.debian.
4227 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4228 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4229 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4230 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4231 in a few situations.)

4262 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4264 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4265 is ready for general use.
4266 * Added man pages for all commands.
4267 * Multiple binary package support.
4268 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4269 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4270 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4272 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4273 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4274 auto-installed as parameters.
4275 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4277 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4280 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4281 the package build directory it is to act on.
4282 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4283 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4284 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
