9 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
10 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop
11 after it sees one line of output from make. (This may be better replaced
12 with dh's makefile parser in the future.) Closes: #557307

32 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
33 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
34 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
35 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
36 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
37 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
38 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
39 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
40 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
41 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
42 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
43 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
44 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
45 time soon.) Closes: #554509
46 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
48 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
49 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
50 * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
51 document id. Closes: #555677
52 * Typo. Closes: #555659
53 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
54 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
55 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
56 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
58 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
59 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
60 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

79 * Allow dpkg-architecture to print errors to stderr. Closes: #548636
80 * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force
81 to setup.py install to ensure that timestamps do not prevent installation
82 of the scripts built for the default python, with unversioned shebang

90 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
91 (It was only run once due to logging.)
92 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
93 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
94 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
95 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
96 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
97 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
98 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
99 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
100 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev

119 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
120 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
121 flag with arch all/any packages.
122 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
123 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
124 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
125 situation. Closes: #540794

136 * Allow sequence addons to pass options to debhelper commands,
137 by adding add_command_options and remove_command_options to the interface.

280 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
281 contributed by Modestas Vainius
282 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
283 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
284 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
285 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
286 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
287 that support it. Closes: #480577
288 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
289 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
290 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
292 - Adds support for cmake.
293 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
294 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
296 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
298 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
299 that use them. The options are:
300 --sourcedir, --destdir
301 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
302 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
303 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
304 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
305 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

372 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
373 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
374 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

579 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
580 that uses them. Affected options are:
581 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,

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

1116 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1117 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1119 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1120 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

1138 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1139 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1140 script and then remove the python files.
1141 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1142 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1143 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1144 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1145 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1146 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1148 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

1150 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1273 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1274 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1275 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1276 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1277 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1278 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1279 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1280 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1282 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1283 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1284 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1285 the not too-distant future).

2839 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new

2986 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2987 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2988 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2989 dh_install, which ...
2990 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2991 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2992 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2993 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2994 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2995 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2996 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2997 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2998 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2999 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3000 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3001 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3002 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3003 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3004 other minor changes.
3005 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3006 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3007 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3008 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3009 course there's -X ..)
3010 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3011 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3012 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3014 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3015 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3016 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into

3060 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
3062 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3063 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3064 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3065 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3066 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3068 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
3069 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

3093 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3095 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3096 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3097 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3098 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3099 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3100 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3101 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3102 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3103 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3104 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3105 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3106 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3107 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3108 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3109 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3110 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3112 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3126 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
3128 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3129 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3130 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3131 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3132 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3133 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3134 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3145 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3147 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3148 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3149 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3150 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3151 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3152 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3153 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3154 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3155 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3331 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3332 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3333 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3334 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3335 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3336 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3337 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3338 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3339 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3340 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3341 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3363 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3364 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3365 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3366 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3367 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3368 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3369 program those options go to. So, for example,
3370 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3371 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3510 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
3511 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
3512 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3513 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3514 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3515 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3516 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3517 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3518 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3519 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
3520 Closes: #88464, #77743
3521 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
3522 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
3523 us to deal with that gracefully.

3573 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3575 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3576 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3577 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3578 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3579 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3580 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3581 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3582 but is mildly deprecated.
3583 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3584 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3585 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3586 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3587 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3588 switching to statoverrides..
3589 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3590 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3591 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3592 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3593 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3594 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3596 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3597 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3598 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3599 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3600 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3601 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3602 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3603 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3604 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3606 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3607 variable names, pod man pages).
3608 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3609 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3610 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3611 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3612 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3613 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3614 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3686 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3687 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3688 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3689 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3690 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

3780 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3781 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3782 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3783 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3785 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3786 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3787 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3789 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3791 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3792 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3793 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3838 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4030 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4031 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4032 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4033 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4034 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4035 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4036 notice until v2 is complete.
4037 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4038 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4039 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4040 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4041 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4042 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4044 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4045 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4046 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4047 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4258 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4259 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4260 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4261 bits until all files have been registered.

4400 I made some changes, though:
4401 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4402 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4403 that is a clear violation of policy.
4404 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4405 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4406 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4407 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4408 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4409 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4410 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4411 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4412 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4414 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4521 for the dependancies to be generated.

4534 * dh_installemacsen: the script fragments it generates now test for the
4535 existance of emacs-package-install/remove before calling them. Though
4536 a strict reading of the emacsen policy indicates that such a test
4537 shouldn't be needed, there may be edge cases (cf bug 44924), where it

4575 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
4577 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
4578 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4579 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4580 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4581 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4582 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4583 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4584 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4585 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4586 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4587 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4588 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4589 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4593 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
4595 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4596 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4597 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4599 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4600 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4601 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4602 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4603 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4604 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4607 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4660 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4661 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4662 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4663 it's always available.

4705 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
4706 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

4760 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
4762 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
4763 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4833 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4834 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

4837 current compatibility level is equal to that number.

4927 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4928 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5535 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
5536 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5537 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5538 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5539 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5540 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5541 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5542 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5543 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5556 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

5579 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5580 sections of shared libraries.
5581 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5582 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5583 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5584 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5585 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5586 things you don't want them to.
5587 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5588 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5615 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5616 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5617 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

5647 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5648 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5649 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5650 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5651 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5652 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5654 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5655 remove debian/files properly.
5656 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5657 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5658 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5659 * Removed bogus menu file.

5674 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
5675 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5676 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

5707 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5708 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5719 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5720 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5721 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5722 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5723 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5724 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5725 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5726 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5727 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5729 passed any switches.

5741 large chunks in the process.

5743 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5910 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5911 past week. Thanks, guys!
5913 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5914 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5915 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5916 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5917 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5918 would do in the same situation.
5919 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5920 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5922 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5924 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5925 permissions changed.
5926 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5927 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5928 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5929 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5930 files are treated identically.

5945 use -X multiple times, too.

6006 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
6007 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
6009 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

6220 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6221 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6222 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6223 are supported. (#16935)

6241 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6242 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6243 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6244 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

6249 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6251 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6252 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6253 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6255 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6256 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6257 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6258 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6259 a given package, or -i or -a.
6260 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6261 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6262 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6263 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6264 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6265 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6266 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6267 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6268 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6270 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6271 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

6294 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6295 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6322 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6344 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6345 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6346 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6347 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6348 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

6513 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6515 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6516 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6517 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6518 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6519 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6520 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6521 debian/README.debian.
6522 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6523 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6524 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6525 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6526 in a few situations.)

6530 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
6532 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

6536 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

6542 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low

6549 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
6551 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
6552 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
6553 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

6557 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6559 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6560 is ready for general use.
6561 * Added man pages for all commands.
6562 * Multiple binary package support.
6563 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6564 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6565 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6567 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6568 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6569 auto-installed as parameters.
6570 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6572 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6575 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6576 the package build directory it is to act on.
6577 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6578 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6579 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.

6586 ready to replace debstd.
