24 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
25 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
26 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
27 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
28 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

30 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the

1350 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1351 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1352 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1353 dh_install, which ...
1354 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1355 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1356 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1357 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1358 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1359 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1360 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1361 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1362 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1363 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1364 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1365 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1366 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1367 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1368 other minor changes.
1369 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1370 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1371 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1372 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1373 course there's -X ..)
1374 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1375 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1378 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1379 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1457 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1459 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1460 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1461 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1462 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1463 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1464 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1465 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1466 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1467 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1468 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1469 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1470 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1471 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1472 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1473 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1474 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1476 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1511 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1512 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1513 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1514 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1515 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1516 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1517 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1518 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1519 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1697 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1698 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1699 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1700 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1701 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1702 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1703 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1704 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1705 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1707 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1729 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1730 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1731 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1732 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1733 program those options go to. So, for example,
1734 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1735 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1878 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1879 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1880 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1881 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1882 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1939 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1940 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1941 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1942 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1943 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1944 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1945 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1946 but is mildly deprecated.
1947 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1948 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1949 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1950 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1951 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1952 switching to statoverrides..
1953 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1954 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1955 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1956 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1957 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1958 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1960 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1961 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1962 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1963 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1964 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1965 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1966 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1967 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1968 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1970 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1971 variable names, pod man pages).
1972 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1973 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1974 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1975 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1976 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1977 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1978 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2047 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2048 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2049 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2050 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2051 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2052 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2053 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2054 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2055 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2056 it is an obsolete program.

2143 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2144 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2145 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2146 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2147 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2149 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2150 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2151 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2153 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2155 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2156 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2157 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2158 should now be raised to severity important..
2159 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2160 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2394 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2395 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2396 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2397 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2398 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2399 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2400 notice until v2 is complete.
2401 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2402 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2403 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2404 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2405 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2406 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2408 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

2619 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2620 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2621 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2622 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2623 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2624 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2625 bits until all files have been registered.

2632 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely

2634 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2635 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2636 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2637 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2638 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2639 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2640 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2641 otherwise change the result at all.
2643 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2644 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2645 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2646 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

2662 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
2663 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2664 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2666 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2667 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2668 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2669 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2698 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
2699 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

2705 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
2706 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
2707 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2708 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

2762 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
2763 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2764 I made some changes, though:
2765 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2766 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2767 that is a clear violation of policy.
2768 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2769 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2770 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2771 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2772 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2773 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2774 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2775 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2776 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2778 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2797 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,

2820 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2821 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2822 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2823 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2824 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2825 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
2826 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

2942 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2943 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2944 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2945 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2946 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2947 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2948 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2949 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2950 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2951 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2952 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2953 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2963 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

2965 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that

3291 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3292 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4071 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4072 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4081 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.

4083 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4084 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4085 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4086 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4087 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4088 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4089 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4090 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4091 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4092 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4093 passed any switches.

4104 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4105 large chunks in the process.
4106 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4107 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4274 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4275 past week. Thanks, guys!
4277 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4278 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4279 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4280 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4281 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4282 would do in the same situation.
4283 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4284 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4286 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4288 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4289 permissions changed.
4290 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4291 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4292 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4293 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4294 files are treated identically.
4295 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4308 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4309 use -X multiple times, too.
4310 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4311 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4571 argument processor in perl.

4584 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4585 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4586 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4587 are supported. (#16935)
4588 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

4602 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
4604 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
4605 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4606 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4607 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4608 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

4613 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4615 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4616 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4617 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4619 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4620 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4621 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4622 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4623 a given package, or -i or -a.
4624 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4625 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4626 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4627 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4628 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4629 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4630 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4631 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4632 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4634 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4635 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
4636 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

4658 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4659 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4660 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

4707 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4708 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4709 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4710 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4711 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4712 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4713 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4888 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4889 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

4936 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4939 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4940 the package build directory it is to act on.
4941 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4942 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
