14 which can include debug libraries that dpkg-shlibdeps should look at,
15 only skip the subdirectories of it that contain separate debugging
16 symbols. (Hardcoding the names of those directories is not the best

41 * dh_shlibdeps: Update documentation for -L and -l. dpkg-shlibdeps is now
42 much smarter, and these options are almost never needed. Closes: #459226
43 * dh_shlibdeps: If a relative path is specified in -l, don't prepend the pwd
44 to it, instead just prepend a slash to make it absolute. dpkg-shlibdeps
45 has changed how it used LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so making it point into the
46 package build directory won't work.
47 * dh_shlibdeps: Change "-L pkg" to cause "-Sdebian/pkg" to be passed to
48 dpkg-shlibdeps. The old behavior of passing -L to dpkg-shlibdeps didn't
49 affect where it looked for symbols files. Closes: #459224

227 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
228 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
230 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
231 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
232 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
233 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
234 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
235 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
236 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
237 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
238 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

247 package install. Closes: #415717
248 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
249 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
250 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
251 script and then remove the python files.
252 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
253 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
254 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
255 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
256 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
257 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
258 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
259 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
260 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
261 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
262 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
263 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have

357 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150

381 * Update of dh_python
382 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
383 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
384 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
385 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
386 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
387 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
388 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
389 specific python version. Closes: #373853
390 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
391 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
393 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
394 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
395 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
396 the not too-distant future).
397 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
398 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

619 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are

775 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2061 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
2062 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
2063 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
2064 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
2065 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
2066 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
2067 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
2068 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
2069 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

2095 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2097 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2098 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2099 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2100 dh_install, which ...
2101 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2102 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2103 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2104 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2105 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2106 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2107 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2108 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2109 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2110 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2111 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2112 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2113 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2114 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2115 other minor changes.
2116 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2117 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2118 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2119 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2120 course there's -X ..)
2121 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2122 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2123 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2125 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2126 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2127 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2128 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2129 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2171 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
2173 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2174 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2175 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2176 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2177 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
2179 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
2180 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

2204 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2206 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2207 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2208 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2209 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2210 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2211 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2212 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2213 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2214 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2215 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2216 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2217 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2218 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2219 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2220 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2221 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2223 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2237 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
2239 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2240 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2241 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2242 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2243 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2244 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
2245 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

2256 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2258 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2259 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2260 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2261 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2262 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2263 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2264 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2265 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2266 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
2267 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message

2445 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2446 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2447 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2448 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2449 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2450 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2451 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2452 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2478 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2479 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2480 program those options go to. So, for example,
2481 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2626 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2627 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2628 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2629 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2684 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2686 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2687 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2688 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2689 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2690 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2691 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2692 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2693 but is mildly deprecated.
2694 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2695 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2696 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2697 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2698 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2699 switching to statoverrides..
2700 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2701 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2702 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2703 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2704 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2705 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2707 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2708 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2709 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2710 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2711 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2712 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2713 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2714 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2715 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2717 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2718 variable names, pod man pages).
2719 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2720 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2721 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2722 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2723 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2724 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2725 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2891 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2897 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2898 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3074 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
3075 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

3139 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3141 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3142 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3143 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3144 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3145 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3146 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3147 notice until v2 is complete.
3148 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3149 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3150 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3151 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3152 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3153 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3155 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3156 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3157 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3158 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3275 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
3276 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
3277 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3278 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3279 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3280 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3282 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3283 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3284 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3285 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3286 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3368 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3369 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3370 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3371 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3372 bits until all files have been registered.

3381 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3382 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3383 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3384 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3385 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3386 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3387 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3388 otherwise change the result at all.
3390 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3391 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3392 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3511 I made some changes, though:
3512 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3513 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3514 that is a clear violation of policy.
3515 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3516 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3517 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3518 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3519 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3520 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3521 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3522 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3523 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3525 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3544 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3545 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing

3567 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3568 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3569 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

3689 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3690 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3691 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3692 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3693 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3694 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3695 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3696 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3697 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3698 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3699 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3700 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3710 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3711 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3712 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3713 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3714 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3715 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4630 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4631 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4632 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4633 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4647 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4648 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4649 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4650 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4651 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4652 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4653 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4654 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4690 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4691 sections of shared libraries.
4692 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4693 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4694 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4695 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4696 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4697 things you don't want them to.

4760 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4761 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4762 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4833 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4834 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4835 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4836 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4837 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4838 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4840 passed any switches.

5025 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5026 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are

5031 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5033 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5035 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5036 permissions changed.
5037 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5038 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5039 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5040 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5041 files are treated identically.
5042 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5054 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5055 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5056 use -X multiple times, too.
5057 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5058 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5534 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5535 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5536 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5537 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5538 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5539 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5591 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5592 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5593 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5594 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5600 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5601 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5602 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5603 multiple binary packages.
5604 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5605 should rebuild them with this version.
5606 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5624 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5626 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5627 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5628 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5629 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5630 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5631 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5632 debian/README.debian.
5633 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5634 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5635 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5636 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5637 in a few situations.)

5668 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5670 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5671 is ready for general use.
5672 * Added man pages for all commands.
5673 * Multiple binary package support.
5674 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5675 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5676 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5678 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5679 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5680 auto-installed as parameters.
5681 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5683 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5686 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5687 the package build directory it is to act on.
5688 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5689 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5690 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
