48 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
49 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
50 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
51 logging by dh_listpackages.

520 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules
523 * ACK last three NMUs with thanks to Raphael Hertzog for making the best of
524 a difficult situation.
525 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
526 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
527 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
528 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
529 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
530 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
531 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
532 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
533 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
534 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

542 - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
543 reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
545 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948

553 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
555 * Non-maintainer upload.
556 * Update of dh_python
557 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
558 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
559 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
560 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
561 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
562 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
563 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
564 specific python version. Closes: #373853
565 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
566 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
568 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
569 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
570 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
571 the not too-distant future).
572 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
573 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
574 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
575 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
576 thus made the build fail.

2237 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb

2239 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
2240 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
2241 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847

2270 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2272 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2273 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2274 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2275 dh_install, which ...
2276 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2277 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2278 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2279 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2280 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2281 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2282 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2283 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2284 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2285 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2286 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2287 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2288 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2289 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2290 other minor changes.
2291 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2292 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2293 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2294 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2295 course there's -X ..)
2296 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2297 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2298 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2300 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2301 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2302 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2303 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2304 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2346 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
2348 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2349 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2350 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2351 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2352 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2379 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2381 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2382 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2383 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2384 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2385 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2386 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2387 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2388 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2389 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2390 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2391 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2392 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2393 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2394 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2395 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2396 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2398 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2412 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
2414 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2415 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2416 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2417 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2418 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2419 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
2420 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

2431 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2433 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2434 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2435 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2436 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2437 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2438 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2439 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2440 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2441 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2617 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2618 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2619 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2620 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2621 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2622 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2623 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2624 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2625 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2626 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2627 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2628 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2629 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2647 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2649 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2650 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2651 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2652 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2653 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2654 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2655 program those options go to. So, for example,
2656 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2657 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2658 something complex. Closes: #89311

2798 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2799 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2800 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2801 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2802 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2803 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2804 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2805 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2859 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2861 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2862 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2863 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2864 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2865 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2866 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2867 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2868 but is mildly deprecated.
2869 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2870 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2871 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2872 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2873 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2874 switching to statoverrides..
2875 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2876 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2877 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2878 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2879 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2880 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2882 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2883 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2884 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2885 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2886 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2887 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2888 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2889 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2890 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2892 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2893 variable names, pod man pages).
2894 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2895 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2896 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2897 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2898 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2899 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2900 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3034 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
3035 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
3036 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
3037 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain

3061 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3063 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3064 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3065 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3066 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3067 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3068 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3069 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3071 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3072 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3073 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3075 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3077 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3078 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3079 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3080 should now be raised to severity important..
3081 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3082 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3121 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
3122 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3123 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3124 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3125 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3137 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3138 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3139 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3140 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3141 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3142 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3316 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3317 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3318 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3319 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3320 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3321 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3322 notice until v2 is complete.
3323 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3324 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3325 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3326 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3327 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3328 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3330 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3331 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3332 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3541 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3542 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3543 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3544 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3545 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3546 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3547 bits until all files have been registered.

3553 * dh_installmanpages:
3554 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3555 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3556 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3557 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3558 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3559 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3560 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3561 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3562 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3563 otherwise change the result at all.
3565 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3566 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3567 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3568 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3585 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3586 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3588 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3589 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3590 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3591 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3684 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3685 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3686 I made some changes, though:
3687 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3688 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3689 that is a clear violation of policy.
3690 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3691 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3692 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3693 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3694 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3695 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3696 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3697 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3698 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3700 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3744 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3745 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3746 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3865 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3866 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3867 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3868 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3869 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3870 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3871 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3872 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3873 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3874 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3875 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3885 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4029 debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
4031 * At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. It takes a simple list of
4032 info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)

4036 debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
4038 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
4039 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
4040 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
4042 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.

4046 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
4048 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
4049 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
4050 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
4051 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

4055 debhelper (2.0.08) unstable; urgency=low
4057 * dh_*: redirect cd output to /den/null, because CD can actually output
4058 things if CDPATH is set.

4062 debhelper (2.0.07) unstable; urgency=low
4064 * Added dh_perl calls to example rules files.

4068 debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low
4070 * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
4071 seems to make sense for the transition.

4075 debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low
4077 * dh_clean: clean debian/tmp even if v2 is being used. If you're
4078 using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be

4083 debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low
4085 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
4086 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
4087 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

4091 debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low
4093 * Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at
4094 that version. (Closes: #40589)

4098 debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
4100 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
4101 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
4102 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
4103 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
4104 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

4114 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
4116 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
4117 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
4118 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4119 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4120 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
4121 * debhelper.1: documented this.
4122 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
4123 current compatability level is equal to that number.
4124 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
4125 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.
4126 * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatable with

4131 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low
4133 * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2.
4134 * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes.
4135 * README: mention doc/v2
4136 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT
4137 * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files

4141 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
4143 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
4144 be using this script RSN.
4146 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 11:44:05 -0700
4148 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
4150 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
4151 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4152 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
4153 more than 1 init script.

4157 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
4159 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
4160 failing if it was given absolute filenames.
4162 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700
4164 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
4166 * Changed perl version detection.

4171 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
4173 * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. dh_perl handles
4174 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying

4194 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
4196 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4197 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4198 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4203 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
4205 * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.

4210 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
4212 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
4213 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4214 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
4215 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the
4216 x bit was being set!

4220 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
4222 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
4223 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
4224 well. (Closes: 38900)

4228 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
4230 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
4231 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
4232 work on the man page (closes: #38898).

4255 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
4257 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
4258 help from Julian Gilbey.
4259 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
4260 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
4261 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
4262 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
4263 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
4264 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
4265 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root

4295 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low

4298 actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now.

4322 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low

4341 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low
4343 * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually
4344 exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and
4345 may be deleted. (#35845)

4365 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
4367 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
4368 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
4369 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
4370 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

4396 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low
4398 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of
4399 even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and
4400 modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102)

4575 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
4576 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages

4583 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4584 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4585 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4586 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

4611 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4612 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4613 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4614 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4615 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4616 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4617 suidregister actually supports it.
4618 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4619 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4632 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4633 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4634 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4635 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4636 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4637 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4638 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4639 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4667 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4668 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4669 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any

4805 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4806 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4807 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4808 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4822 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4823 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4824 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4825 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4826 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4827 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4828 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4829 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4866 sections of shared libraries.

4868 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4869 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4870 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4871 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4872 things you don't want them to.

5022 * dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed.
5023 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
5024 at all for a long while.
5025 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
5026 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5027 large chunks in the process.
5028 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5029 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5047 * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if
5048 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
5049 that don't always have the same files in them.

5060 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
5061 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
5062 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
5063 updating 27 man pages.
5064 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
5065 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
5066 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

5194 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5195 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5196 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5197 past week. Thanks, guys!
5199 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5200 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5201 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5202 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5203 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5204 would do in the same situation.
5205 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5206 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5208 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5210 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5211 permissions changed.
5212 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5213 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5214 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5215 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5216 files are treated identically.
5217 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5218 * Minor man page fixes.
5219 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5220 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5221 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5227 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
5228 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5229 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5230 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5231 use -X multiple times, too.
5232 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5233 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5257 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5258 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5259 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5261 shape if you're starting a new package.

5290 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
5291 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.

5527 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5528 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5529 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the

5544 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5545 a given package, or -i or -a.
5546 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5547 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5549 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5551 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5631 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5632 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5633 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

5810 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5811 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

5862 the package build directory it is to act on.
