30 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page

40 * Convert the "I have no packages to build" error into a warning. Am I
41 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that
42 builds an arch all package and an single-arch package? In this case,
43 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some
44 other arch, and debhelper will now support this.

156 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
157 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
158 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
159 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
160 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

193 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

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

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

1637 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1638 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1639 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1640 dh_install, which ...
1641 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1642 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1643 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1644 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1645 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1646 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1647 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1648 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1649 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1650 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1651 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1652 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1653 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1654 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1655 other minor changes.
1656 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1657 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1658 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1659 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1660 course there's -X ..)
1661 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1662 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1663 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1665 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1666 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1667 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1668 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1669 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1713 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1714 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1715 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1716 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1717 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1744 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1746 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1747 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1748 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1749 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1750 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1751 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1752 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1753 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1754 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1755 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1756 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1757 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1758 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1759 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1760 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1761 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1763 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1798 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1799 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1800 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1801 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1802 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1803 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1804 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1805 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1806 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2054 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is

2164 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2165 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2166 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2167 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2168 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2169 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2224 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2226 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2227 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2228 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2229 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2230 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2231 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2232 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2233 but is mildly deprecated.
2234 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2235 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2236 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2237 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2238 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2239 switching to statoverrides..
2240 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2241 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2242 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2243 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2244 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2245 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2247 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2248 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2249 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2250 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2251 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2252 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2253 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2254 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2255 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2257 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2258 variable names, pod man pages).
2259 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2260 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2261 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2262 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2263 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2264 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2265 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2337 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2338 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2340 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2431 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2433 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2434 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2436 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2437 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2438 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2440 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2443 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2444 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2681 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2682 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2683 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2684 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2685 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2686 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2687 notice until v2 is complete.
2688 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2689 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2690 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2691 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2692 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2693 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2695 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2696 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2697 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2698 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2820 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2822 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2824 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2825 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2909 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2910 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2911 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2912 bits until all files have been registered.

2923 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2924 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3052 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3053 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3054 that is a clear violation of policy.
3055 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3056 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3057 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3058 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3059 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3060 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3061 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3062 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3063 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories

3230 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3231 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3232 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3233 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3234 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3235 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3236 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3237 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3238 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3239 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3240 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4189 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4190 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4191 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4192 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4193 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4194 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4233 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4234 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4235 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4236 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4237 things you don't want them to.

4557 debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
4559 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4560 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4561 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4562 past week. Thanks, guys!
4564 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4565 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4566 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4567 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4568 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4569 would do in the same situation.
4570 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4571 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4573 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4575 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4576 permissions changed.
4577 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4578 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4579 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4580 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4581 files are treated identically.
4582 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4583 * Minor man page fixes.
4584 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4585 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4586 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4592 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4593 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4594 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4595 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4596 use -X multiple times, too.
4597 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4598 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4604 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping
4605 elf binaries. This makes for smaller output files. This has always been
4606 broken in debhelper before! (#22395)

4617 debhelper (0.85) unstable; urgency=low
4619 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
4620 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4621 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4622 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4623 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4624 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
4625 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
4626 shape if you're starting a new package.

4639 * Generate symlinks in build stage of debian/rules. cvs cannot create them

4654 * dh_movefiles: first move real files, then move symlinks. (#18220)
4655 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4656 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4657 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4658 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
4660 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

4724 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
4725 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4726 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4727 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4728 no packages use the old behavior.

4787 * examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
4788 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.

4870 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
4871 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4872 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4873 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4874 are supported. (#16935)

4889 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
4891 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
4892 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4893 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4894 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4895 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
4896 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

4900 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4902 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4903 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4906 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4907 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4908 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4909 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4910 a given package, or -i or -a.
4911 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4912 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4913 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4914 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4915 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4916 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4917 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4918 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4919 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4921 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4922 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

4995 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4996 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4997 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4998 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

5074 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5075 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5076 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5077 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5078 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5079 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5131 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5132 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5133 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5134 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5140 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5141 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5142 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5143 multiple binary packages.
5144 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5145 should rebuild them with this version.
5146 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5164 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5166 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5167 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5168 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5169 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5170 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5171 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5172 debian/README.debian.
5173 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5174 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5175 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5176 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5177 in a few situations.)

5210 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5211 is ready for general use.
5212 * Added man pages for all commands.
5213 * Multiple binary package support.
5214 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5215 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5216 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5218 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5219 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5220 auto-installed as parameters.
5221 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5223 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5226 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5227 the package build directory it is to act on.
5228 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5229 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5230 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
