45 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
46 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
47 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
48 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

199 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability

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

1525 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1526 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1527 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1528 dh_install, which ...
1529 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1530 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1531 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1532 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1533 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1534 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1535 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1536 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1537 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1538 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1539 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1540 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1541 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1542 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1543 other minor changes.
1544 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1545 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1546 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1547 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1548 course there's -X ..)
1549 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1550 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1551 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1553 * use v4 for building debhelper itself

1602 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1604 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1632 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1634 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1635 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1636 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1637 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1638 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1639 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1640 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1641 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1642 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1643 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1644 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1645 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1646 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1647 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1648 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1649 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1651 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1686 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1687 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1688 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1689 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1690 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1691 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1692 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1693 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1694 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2049 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
2050 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
2051 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2052 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2053 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2054 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2055 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2056 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2057 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2058 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2059 Closes: #88464, #77743
2060 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2061 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants

2112 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2114 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2115 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2116 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2117 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2118 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2119 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2120 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2121 but is mildly deprecated.
2122 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2123 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2124 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2125 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2126 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2127 switching to statoverrides..
2128 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2129 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2130 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2131 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2132 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2133 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2135 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2136 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2137 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2138 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2139 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2140 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2141 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2142 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2143 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2145 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2146 variable names, pod man pages).
2147 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2148 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2149 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2150 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2151 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2152 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2153 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2225 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2226 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2227 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2228 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2229 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

2319 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2320 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2321 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2322 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2324 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2325 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2326 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2328 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2330 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2331 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2332 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2333 should now be raised to severity important..

2569 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2570 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2571 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2572 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2573 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2574 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2575 notice until v2 is complete.
2576 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2577 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2578 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2579 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2580 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2581 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2583 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2584 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2585 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2710 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2797 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2798 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2799 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2800 bits until all files have been registered.

2939 I made some changes, though:
2940 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2941 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2942 that is a clear violation of policy.
2943 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2944 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2945 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2946 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2947 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2948 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2949 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2950 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2951 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2953 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3117 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3118 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3119 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3120 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3121 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3122 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3123 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3124 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3125 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3126 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3127 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3128 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3135 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3136 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3138 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3139 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3140 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3141 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3142 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3143 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4074 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4075 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4076 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4077 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4078 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4079 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4080 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4081 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4082 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4118 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4119 sections of shared libraries.
4120 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4121 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4122 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4123 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4124 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4125 things you don't want them to.
4126 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4127 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4186 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4187 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4188 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4189 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4190 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4191 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4193 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4194 remove debian/files properly.
4195 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4196 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4197 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4214 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4215 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4217 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4246 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4247 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4261 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4262 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4263 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4264 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4265 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4266 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4268 passed any switches.

4452 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4453 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4454 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4455 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4456 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4457 would do in the same situation.
4458 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4459 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4461 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4463 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

4466 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4467 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4468 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4469 files are treated identically.

4543 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath

4759 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

4780 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4781 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

4791 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4794 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4795 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4796 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4797 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4798 a given package, or -i or -a.
4799 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4800 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4801 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4802 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4803 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4804 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4805 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4806 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4884 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4885 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4886 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

5045 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

5052 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5054 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5055 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5056 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5057 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5058 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5059 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5060 debian/README.debian.
5061 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5062 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5063 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5064 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5065 in a few situations.)

5069 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5071 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.
5073 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 10 Oct 1997 15:24:40 -0400
5075 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5088 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

5096 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5098 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5099 is ready for general use.
5100 * Added man pages for all commands.
5101 * Multiple binary package support.
5102 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5103 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5104 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5106 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5107 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5108 auto-installed as parameters.
5109 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5111 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5114 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5115 the package build directory it is to act on.
5116 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5117 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5118 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
