350 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new

497 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
498 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
499 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
500 dh_install, which ...
501 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
502 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
503 mess, as it uses debian/install.
504 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
505 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
506 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
507 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
508 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
509 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
510 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
511 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
512 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
513 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
514 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
516 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
517 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
518 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
519 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
520 course there's -X ..)
521 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
522 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
523 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
525 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
526 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
527 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
528 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
529 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

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

604 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
606 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
607 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
608 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
609 line, as well as in debian/rules.
610 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
611 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
612 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
613 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
614 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
615 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
616 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
617 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
618 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
619 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
620 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
621 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
623 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

847 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
848 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
849 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
850 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
851 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
852 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

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

1084 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1086 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1087 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1088 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1089 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1090 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1091 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1092 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1093 but is mildly deprecated.
1094 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1095 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1096 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1097 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1098 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1099 switching to statoverrides..
1100 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1101 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1102 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1103 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1104 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1105 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1107 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1108 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1109 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1110 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1111 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1112 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1113 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1114 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1115 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1117 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1118 variable names, pod man pages).
1119 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1120 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1121 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1122 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1123 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1124 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1125 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1197 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1198 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
1199 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
1200 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
1201 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

1291 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1293 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1294 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1296 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1297 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1298 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1300 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

1303 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1304 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1305 should now be raised to severity important..

1349 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

1544 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1545 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1546 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1547 notice until v2 is complete.
1548 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1549 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1550 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1551 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1552 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1553 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1555 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1556 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1557 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
1558 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

1685 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

1768 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
1769 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1770 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1771 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1772 bits until all files have been registered.

1782 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
1783 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1784 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
1785 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
1786 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
1787 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1788 otherwise change the result at all.
1790 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1791 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
1792 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

1911 I made some changes, though:
1912 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1913 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1914 that is a clear violation of policy.
1915 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1916 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1917 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1918 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1919 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1920 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1921 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1922 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1923 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1925 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2088 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2089 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2090 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2091 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2092 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2093 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2094 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2095 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2096 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2097 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2098 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2099 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2100 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2104 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2106 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2107 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2108 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2110 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2111 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2112 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2113 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2114 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2115 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2117 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2118 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2171 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
2172 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
2173 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
2174 it's always available.

2274 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3049 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to

3051 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3052 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if

3422 past week. Thanks, guys!
3424 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3425 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3426 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3427 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3428 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3429 would do in the same situation.

3769 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3770 a given package, or -i or -a.
3771 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3772 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3773 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3774 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

3776 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4068 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low

4074 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4075 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4076 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4078 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4079 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4080 auto-installed as parameters.
4081 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4083 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4086 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4087 the package build directory it is to act on.
4088 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4089 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4090 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
