1011 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1012 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1013 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1014 dh_install, which ...
1015 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1016 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1017 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1018 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1019 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1020 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1021 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1022 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1023 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1024 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1025 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1026 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1027 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1028 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1029 other minor changes.
1030 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1031 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1032 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1033 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1034 course there's -X ..)
1035 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1036 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1037 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1039 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1040 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1041 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into

1087 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1088 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1089 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1090 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1091 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1118 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1120 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1121 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1122 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1123 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1124 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1125 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1126 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1127 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1128 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1129 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1130 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1131 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1132 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1133 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1134 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1135 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1137 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1170 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1172 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1173 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1174 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1175 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1176 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1177 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1178 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1179 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1180 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1356 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

1358 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1359 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1360 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1361 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1362 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1363 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1364 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1365 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1366 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1391 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1392 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1393 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1394 program those options go to. So, for example,
1395 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1396 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1535 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
1536 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
1537 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1538 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1539 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1540 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1541 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1542 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1543 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1544 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1545 Closes: #88464, #77743
1546 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
1547 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
1548 us to deal with that gracefully.

1598 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1600 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1601 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1602 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1603 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1604 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1605 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1606 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1607 but is mildly deprecated.
1608 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1609 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1610 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1611 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1612 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1613 switching to statoverrides..
1614 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1615 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1616 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1617 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1618 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1619 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1621 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1622 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1623 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1624 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1625 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1626 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1627 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1628 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1629 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1631 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1632 variable names, pod man pages).
1633 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1634 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1635 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1636 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1637 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1638 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1639 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1711 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1712 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1714 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

1805 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1806 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1807 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1808 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1810 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1811 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1812 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1814 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

1817 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1818 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2055 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2056 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2057 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2058 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2059 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2060 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2061 notice until v2 is complete.
2062 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2063 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2064 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2065 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2066 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2067 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2069 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2070 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2071 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2072 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2196 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2283 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2284 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2285 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2286 bits until all files have been registered.

2301 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

2425 I made some changes, though:
2426 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2427 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2428 that is a clear violation of policy.
2429 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2430 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2431 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2432 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2433 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2434 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2435 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2436 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2437 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2439 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2559 * dh_installemacsen: the script fragments it generates now test for the
2560 existance of emacs-package-install/remove before calling them. Though
2561 a strict reading of the emacsen policy indicates that such a test
2562 shouldn't be needed, there may be edge cases (cf bug 44924), where it

2602 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2603 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2604 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2605 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2606 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2607 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2608 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2609 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2610 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2611 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2612 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2613 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2614 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2620 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2621 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2622 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2624 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2625 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2626 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2627 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2628 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2629 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

2686 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
2687 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

2788 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3322 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3323 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

3352 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

3356 suidregister actually supports it.

3372 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

3374 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

3558 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
3560 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3561 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3562 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3563 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3564 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3565 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3566 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3567 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3568 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3578 debhelper (1.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
3580 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
3581 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
3582 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

3604 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3605 sections of shared libraries.
3606 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3607 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3608 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3609 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3610 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3611 things you don't want them to.
3612 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3613 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3629 debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed.

3640 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3641 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
3642 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
3643 the program to not fail. (#26214)

3670 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
3672 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3673 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3674 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3675 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3676 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3677 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3679 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3680 remove debian/files properly.
3681 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
3682 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
3683 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
3684 * Removed bogus menu file.

3698 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
3699 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
3700 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
3701 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
3702 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
3703 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

3728 * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
3730 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
3731 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
3732 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
3733 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
3734 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
3735 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

3741 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
3742 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
3743 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
3744 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
3745 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
3746 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
3747 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3748 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3749 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3750 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3751 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3752 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
3753 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
3754 passed any switches.
3755 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

3763 at all for a long while.
3764 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
3765 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
3766 large chunks in the process.
3767 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
3768 install many oddly named files it died on before.

3787 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
3788 that don't always have the same files in them.
3789 * dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
3790 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.

3801 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
3802 updating 27 man pages.
3803 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
3804 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
3805 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

3933 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
3934 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3935 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3936 past week. Thanks, guys!
3938 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3939 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3940 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3941 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3942 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3943 would do in the same situation.
3944 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3945 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3947 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3949 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3950 permissions changed.
3951 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3952 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3953 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3954 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3955 files are treated identically.
3956 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

3969 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3970 use -X multiple times, too.
3971 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

4030 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4031 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4032 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
4034 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

4283 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4284 a given package, or -i or -a.
4285 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4286 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4287 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4288 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

4290 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4292 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4371 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',

4538 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4540 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4541 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4542 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4543 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4544 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4545 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4546 debian/README.debian.
4547 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4548 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4549 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4550 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4551 in a few situations.)

4555 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

4574 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

4582 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4584 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4585 is ready for general use.
4586 * Added man pages for all commands.
4587 * Multiple binary package support.
4588 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4589 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4590 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4592 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4593 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4594 auto-installed as parameters.
4595 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4597 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4600 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4601 the package build directory it is to act on.
4602 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4603 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4604 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
