1017 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1018 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1019 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1020 dh_install, which ...
1021 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1022 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1023 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1024 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1025 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1026 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1027 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1028 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1029 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1030 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1031 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1032 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1033 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1034 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1035 other minor changes.
1036 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1037 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1038 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1039 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1040 course there's -X ..)
1041 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1042 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1043 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1045 * use v4 for building debhelper itself

1094 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1096 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1124 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1126 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1127 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1128 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1129 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1130 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1131 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1132 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1133 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1134 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1135 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1136 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1137 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1138 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1139 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1140 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1141 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1143 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1178 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1179 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1180 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1181 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1182 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1183 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1184 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1185 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1186 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1401 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1541 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
1542 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
1543 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1544 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1545 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1546 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1547 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1548 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1549 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1550 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1551 Closes: #88464, #77743
1552 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
1553 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants

1604 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1606 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1607 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1608 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1609 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1610 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1611 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1612 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1613 but is mildly deprecated.
1614 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1615 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1616 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1617 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1618 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1619 switching to statoverrides..
1620 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1621 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1622 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1623 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1624 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1625 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1627 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1628 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1629 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1630 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1631 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1632 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1633 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1634 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1635 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1637 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1638 variable names, pod man pages).
1639 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1640 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1641 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1642 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1643 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1644 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1645 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1717 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1718 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1720 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

1811 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1812 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1813 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1814 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1816 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1817 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1818 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1820 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
1822 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
1823 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1824 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1825 should now be raised to severity important..

2061 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2062 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2063 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2064 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2065 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2066 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2067 notice until v2 is complete.
2068 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2069 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2070 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2071 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2072 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2073 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2075 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2076 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2077 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2202 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2205 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2289 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2290 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2291 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2292 bits until all files have been registered.

2307 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

2431 I made some changes, though:
2432 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2433 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2434 that is a clear violation of policy.
2435 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2436 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2437 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2438 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2439 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2440 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2441 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2442 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2443 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2445 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2609 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2610 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2611 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2612 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2613 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2614 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2615 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2616 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2617 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2618 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2619 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2620 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2627 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2628 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2630 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2631 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2632 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2633 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2634 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2635 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3566 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3567 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3568 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3569 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3570 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3571 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3572 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3573 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3574 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3610 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3611 sections of shared libraries.
3612 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3613 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3614 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3615 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3616 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3617 things you don't want them to.
3618 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3619 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3646 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3647 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
3648 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

3678 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3679 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3680 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3681 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3682 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3683 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3685 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3686 remove debian/files properly.
3687 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
3688 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
3689 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

3707 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

3709 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

3738 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
3739 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

3753 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3754 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3755 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3756 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3757 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3758 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3760 passed any switches.

3945 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3946 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3947 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3948 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3949 would do in the same situation.

3951 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

3955 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

3960 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3961 files are treated identically.

4035 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4036 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4037 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist

4251 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

4253 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4254 are supported. (#16935)

4272 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4273 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

4282 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4283 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4284 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4286 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4287 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4288 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4289 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4290 a given package, or -i or -a.
4291 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4292 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4293 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4294 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4295 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4296 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4297 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4298 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4299 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4301 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4302 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

4326 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

4375 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4376 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4377 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4378 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

4537 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

4544 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4546 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4547 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4548 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4549 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4550 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4551 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4552 debian/README.debian.
4553 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4554 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4555 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4556 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4557 in a few situations.)

4561 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
4563 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.
4565 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 10 Oct 1997 15:24:40 -0400
4567 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

4580 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

4588 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4590 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4591 is ready for general use.
4592 * Added man pages for all commands.
4593 * Multiple binary package support.
4594 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4595 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4596 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4598 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4599 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4600 auto-installed as parameters.
4601 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4603 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4606 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4607 the package build directory it is to act on.
4608 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4609 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4610 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
