3 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
4 contributed by Modestas Vainius
5 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
6 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives in other
7 but the top level directory. Closes: #530597
8 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
9 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
10 that support it. Closes: #480577
11 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
12 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
13 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
15 - Adds support for cmake.
16 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
17 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
19 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these

34 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
35 warning or deprecation message.
36 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
37 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
38 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
39 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
40 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
41 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
42 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

254 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
255 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
256 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
257 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
258 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

944 specific python version. Closes: #373853
945 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
946 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
948 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
949 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
950 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2652 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2653 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2654 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2655 dh_install, which ...
2656 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2657 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2658 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2659 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2660 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2661 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2662 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2663 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2664 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2665 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2666 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2667 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2668 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2669 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2670 other minor changes.
2671 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2672 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2673 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2674 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2675 course there's -X ..)
2676 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2677 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2678 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2680 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2681 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2682 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2683 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2684 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2759 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2761 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2762 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2763 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2764 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2765 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2766 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2767 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2768 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2769 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2770 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2771 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2772 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2773 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2774 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2775 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2776 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2778 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2813 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2814 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2815 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2816 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2817 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2818 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2819 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2820 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2821 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3029 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3030 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3031 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3032 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3033 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3034 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3035 program those options go to. So, for example,
3036 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3037 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3179 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3180 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3181 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3182 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3183 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3184 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3241 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3242 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3243 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3244 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3245 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3246 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3247 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3248 but is mildly deprecated.
3249 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3250 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3251 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3252 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3253 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3254 switching to statoverrides..
3255 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3256 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3257 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3258 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3259 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3260 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3262 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3263 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3264 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3265 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3266 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3267 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3268 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3269 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3270 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3272 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3273 variable names, pod man pages).
3274 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3275 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3276 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3277 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3278 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3279 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3280 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3446 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3448 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3449 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3451 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3452 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3453 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3502 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3503 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3504 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3505 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3517 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3518 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

3521 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3696 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3697 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3698 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3699 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3700 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3701 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3702 notice until v2 is complete.
3703 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3704 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3705 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3706 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3707 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3708 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3710 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3711 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3712 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3925 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

4065 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4066 I made some changes, though:
4067 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4068 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4069 that is a clear violation of policy.
4070 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4071 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4072 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4073 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4074 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4075 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4076 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4077 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4078 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4080 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4248 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4249 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4250 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4251 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4252 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4253 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4254 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4255 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4531 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4532 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
4533 more than 1 init script.

4576 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4577 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4578 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4594 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4642 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5204 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5205 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5206 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5207 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5208 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5209 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5574 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5575 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5576 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5577 past week. Thanks, guys!
5579 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5580 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5581 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5582 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5583 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5584 would do in the same situation.
5585 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5586 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5588 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5590 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5591 permissions changed.
5592 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5593 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5594 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5595 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5596 files are treated identically.
5597 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5598 * Minor man page fixes.
5599 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5610 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5611 use -X multiple times, too.
5612 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5613 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5639 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6009 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6010 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6011 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6012 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6013 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6014 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6015 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6090 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6091 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6092 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6093 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6094 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6155 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6156 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6157 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6158 multiple binary packages.
6159 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6160 should rebuild them with this version.
6161 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6181 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6182 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6183 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6184 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6185 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6186 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6187 debian/README.debian.
6188 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6189 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6190 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6191 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6192 in a few situations.)

6227 * Added man pages for all commands.
6228 * Multiple binary package support.
6229 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6230 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6231 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6233 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6234 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6235 auto-installed as parameters.
6236 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6238 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6241 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6242 the package build directory it is to act on.
6243 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6244 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6245 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
