76 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
77 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
79 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
80 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
81 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
82 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
83 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
84 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
85 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
86 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
87 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

96 package install. Closes: #415717
97 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
98 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
99 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
100 script and then remove the python files.
101 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
102 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
103 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
104 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
105 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
106 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
107 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
108 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
109 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
110 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
111 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250

230 * Update of dh_python
231 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
232 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
233 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
234 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
235 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
236 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
237 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
238 specific python version. Closes: #373853
239 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
240 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
242 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
243 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
244 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
245 the not too-distant future).
246 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
247 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

624 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1946 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1947 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1948 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1949 dh_install, which ...
1950 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1951 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1952 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1953 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1954 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1955 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1956 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1957 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1958 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1959 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1960 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1961 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1962 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1963 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1964 other minor changes.
1965 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1966 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1967 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1968 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1969 course there's -X ..)
1970 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1971 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1972 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1974 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1975 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1976 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1977 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1978 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2022 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2023 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2025 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2026 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2053 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2055 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2056 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2057 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2058 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2059 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2060 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2061 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2062 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2063 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2064 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2065 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2066 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2067 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2068 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2069 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2070 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2072 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2105 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2107 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2108 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2109 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2110 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2111 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2112 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2113 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2114 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2115 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2327 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2328 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2329 program those options go to. So, for example,
2330 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2539 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2540 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2541 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2542 but is mildly deprecated.
2543 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2544 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2545 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2546 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2547 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2548 switching to statoverrides..
2549 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2550 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2551 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2552 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2553 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2554 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2556 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2557 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2558 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2559 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2560 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2561 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2562 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2563 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2564 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2566 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2567 variable names, pod man pages).
2568 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2569 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2570 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2571 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2572 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2573 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2574 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2647 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2739 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2740 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2741 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2742 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2743 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2745 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2746 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2747 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2749 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2751 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2752 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2753 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2754 should now be raised to severity important..

2798 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2990 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2991 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2992 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2993 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2994 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2995 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2996 notice until v2 is complete.
2997 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2998 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2999 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3000 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3001 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3002 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3128 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3129 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3131 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3132 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3133 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3134 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3135 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3136 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3215 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3216 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3217 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3218 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3219 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3220 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3221 bits until all files have been registered.

3230 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3231 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3232 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3233 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3234 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3235 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3236 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3237 otherwise change the result at all.
3239 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3240 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3241 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3260 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3262 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3263 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3264 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

3359 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3360 I made some changes, though:
3361 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3362 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3363 that is a clear violation of policy.
3364 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3365 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3366 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3367 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3368 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3369 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3370 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3371 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3372 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3374 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3543 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3544 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3545 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3546 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3547 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3548 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3549 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3555 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3556 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3557 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3559 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3560 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3561 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3562 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3563 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3564 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3566 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3567 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4257 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4258 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4287 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

4291 suidregister actually supports it.

4500 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4501 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4502 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4503 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4561 * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
4562 installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.

4570 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/

4574 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
4575 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4576 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4577 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
4578 the program to not fail. (#26214)

4607 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4608 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4609 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4610 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4611 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4612 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4614 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4615 remove debian/files properly.
4616 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4617 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4618 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4619 * Removed bogus menu file.

4634 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
4635 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4636 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4638 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4667 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4668 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
4669 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
4670 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

4677 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
4678 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4679 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4680 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4681 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4682 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4683 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4684 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4685 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4686 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4687 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4689 passed any switches.

4698 at all for a long while.
4699 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
4700 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4701 large chunks in the process.
4702 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4703 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4739 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4869 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4870 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4871 past week. Thanks, guys!
4873 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4874 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4875 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4876 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4877 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4878 would do in the same situation.
4879 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4880 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4882 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4884 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4885 permissions changed.
4886 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4887 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4888 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4889 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4890 files are treated identically.
4891 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4904 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4905 use -X multiple times, too.

5218 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5219 a given package, or -i or -a.
5220 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5221 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5222 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5223 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5225 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5227 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
