21 * dh: In v9, any standard rules file targets, including build-arch,

57 * dh_clean: Remove debhelper logs for all packages, including packages
58 not being acted on. dh can sometimes produce such logs by accident
59 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
60 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
61 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur
62 for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development,
63 and it should be safe to clean them all. Closes: #623446

72 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
73 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
74 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
76 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
77 changes may be added to that mode.
78 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
79 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
80 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
81 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
82 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
83 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
84 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
85 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.
86 * Removed old example rules files.
87 * dh_installgsettings: New command to handle gsettings schema files.

106 triplet-strip from cross-binutils when cross-compiling; Closes: #412118.
107 (Thanks, Loïc Minier)
108 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
109 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
110 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
111 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
112 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

119 * python_distutils: Pass --force to setup.py build, to ensure that when
120 python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in
121 the shebang line. Closes: #589759

123 * Avoid open fd 5 or 6 breaking buildsystem test suite. Closes: #596679
124 * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
126 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
127 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
128 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
129 dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443

133 * Explicitly build-depend on a new enough perl-base. Closes: #601188
134 * dh: Inhibit logging when an override target runs the overridden command,
135 to avoid unexpected behavior if the command succeeded but the overall
136 target fails. Closes: #601037
137 * Fix deprecated command list on translated debhelper(7) man pages.
139 * dh: Improve filtering in dh_listpackages example. Closes: #604561
140 * dh: Add support for build-arch, build-indep, install-arch and
141 install-indep sequences. Closes: #604563
142 (Thanks, Roger Leigh)
143 * dh_listpackages: Do not display warnings if options cause no packages
145 * dh_installdocs: Clarify that debian/README.Debian and debian/TODO are
146 only installed into the first package listed in debian/control.
148 * dh_compress: Javascript files are not compressed, as these go with
149 (uncompressed) html files. Closes: #603553

181 * In v8 mode, stop passing packlist=0 in perl_makemaker buildsystem,

189 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
190 changes are planned for that mode.
191 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
192 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
193 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
194 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
195 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
196 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
197 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
198 (genesis) still uses them.
199 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
200 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
201 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
202 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
203 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
204 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
205 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
206 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
207 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
208 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
209 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
210 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
211 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
212 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
213 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
214 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
215 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
216 commands. (See #570039)
217 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
219 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

260 * Updated French translation.
261 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
262 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
263 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
264 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
266 * Typo. Closes: #571968
267 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
268 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
269 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
270 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
271 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
272 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
273 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

310 options that they do not support.
311 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
312 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands

639 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
640 contributed by Modestas Vainius
641 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
642 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
643 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
644 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
645 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
646 that support it. Closes: #480577
647 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
648 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
649 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
651 - Adds support for cmake.
652 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
653 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
655 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
657 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
658 that use them. The options are:
659 --sourcedir, --destdir
660 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
661 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
662 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
663 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
664 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

730 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
731 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
732 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
733 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1024 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the

1494 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
1495 package install. Closes: #415717
1496 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1497 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1498 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1499 script and then remove the python files.
1500 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1501 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1502 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1503 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1504 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1505 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1506 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1507 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1508 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1509 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
1510 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
1511 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
1512 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

1531 * Man page improvements. Closes: #406707
1532 * dh_installdocs: In v5 mode, now ignore empty files even if they're hidden
1533 away inside a subdirectory. The code missed this before. See #200905
1534 * dh_installudev: Support debian/udev files. Closes: #381854
1535 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros
1536 can be used (also so that a leading "z" that is not "z60" can be
1537 specified). Closes: #381851

1600 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
1601 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
1602 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
1603 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
1604 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1605 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
1606 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
1607 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

1615 - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
1616 reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
1618 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948

1626 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
1628 * Non-maintainer upload.
1629 * Update of dh_python
1630 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1631 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1632 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1633 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1634 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1635 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1636 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1637 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1638 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1639 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1641 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1642 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1643 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1644 the not too-distant future).
1645 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1646 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1647 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1648 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1649 thus made the build fail.

1663 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
1664 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
1665 depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>

2019 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility
2020 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
2021 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
2022 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
2023 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3345 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3346 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3347 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3348 dh_install, which ...
3349 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3350 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3351 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3352 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3353 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3354 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3355 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3356 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3357 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3358 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3359 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3360 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3361 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3362 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3363 other minor changes.
3364 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3365 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3366 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3367 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3368 course there's -X ..)
3369 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3370 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

3373 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3374 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3375 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3376 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

3422 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3424 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3425 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3452 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3454 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3455 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3456 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3457 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3458 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3459 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3460 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3461 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3462 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3463 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3464 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3465 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3466 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3467 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3468 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3469 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3471 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3489 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3490 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3491 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3492 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3493 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3504 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3506 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3507 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3508 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3509 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3510 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3511 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3512 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3513 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3514 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3692 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3693 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3694 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3695 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3696 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3697 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3698 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3699 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3700 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3724 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3725 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3726 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3727 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3728 program those options go to. So, for example,
3729 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3730 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3874 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3875 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3876 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3877 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3934 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3935 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3936 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3937 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3938 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3940 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3941 but is mildly deprecated.
3942 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3943 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3944 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3945 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3946 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3947 switching to statoverrides..

3949 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3950 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3951 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3952 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3953 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3955 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3956 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3957 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3958 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3959 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3960 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3961 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3962 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3963 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/

3966 variable names, pod man pages).

3968 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3969 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3970 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3971 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3972 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3973 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4043 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4044 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4045 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4046 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4047 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4048 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4049 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4050 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
4051 it is an obsolete program.

4139 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4140 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4141 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4142 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4144 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4145 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4146 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4148 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4150 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4151 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4152 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4153 should now be raised to severity important..

4389 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4390 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4391 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4392 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4393 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4394 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4395 notice until v2 is complete.
4396 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4397 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4398 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4399 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4400 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4401 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4403 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4526 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4527 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4528 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4530 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4531 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4532 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4533 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4534 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4535 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
4536 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

4617 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4618 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4619 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4620 bits until all files have been registered.

4630 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4631 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4632 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4634 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4635 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

4638 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4639 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4758 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4759 I made some changes, though:
4760 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4761 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4762 that is a clear violation of policy.
4763 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4764 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4765 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4766 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4767 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4768 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4769 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4770 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4771 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4773 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4817 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4818 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4819 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4941 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4942 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4943 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4944 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4945 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4946 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4947 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

5017 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
5018 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
5019 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
5020 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
5021 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
5022 it's always available.

5029 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

5064 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
5065 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
5066 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this
5067 ever happenning, but it pays to be safe.

5122 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

5286 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5287 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5690 suidregister actually supports it.

5899 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5900 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5901 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6006 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6007 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6008 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6009 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6010 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6011 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6013 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6014 remove debian/files properly.
6015 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
6016 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
6017 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
6018 * Removed bogus menu file.

6034 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
6035 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
6036 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should

6066 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6067 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6078 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6079 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6080 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6081 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6082 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6083 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6084 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6085 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6086 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6088 passed any switches.

6100 large chunks in the process.

6102 install many oddly named files it died on before.

6269 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6270 past week. Thanks, guys!
6272 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6273 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6274 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6275 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6276 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6277 would do in the same situation.
6278 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6279 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6281 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6283 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6284 permissions changed.
6285 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6286 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6287 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6288 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6289 files are treated identically.
6290 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6303 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6304 use -X multiple times, too.

6579 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6580 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6581 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6582 are supported. (#16935)

6600 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6601 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6608 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6610 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6611 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6612 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6614 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6615 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6616 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6617 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6618 a given package, or -i or -a.
6619 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6620 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6621 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6622 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6623 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6624 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6625 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6626 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6627 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

6630 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

6654 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6702 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6703 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6704 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6705 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6706 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6707 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
