676 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
677 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
678 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
679 dh_install, which ...
680 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
681 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
682 mess, as it uses debian/install.
683 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
684 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
685 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
686 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
687 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
688 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
689 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
690 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
691 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
692 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
693 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
695 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
696 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
697 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
698 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
699 course there's -X ..)
700 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
701 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
702 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
704 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
705 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
706 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
707 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
708 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

783 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
785 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
786 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
787 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
788 line, as well as in debian/rules.
789 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
790 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
791 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
792 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
793 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
794 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
795 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
796 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
797 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
798 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
799 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
800 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
802 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

820 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

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

1053 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1054 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1055 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1056 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1057 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1058 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1059 program those options go to. So, for example,
1060 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1061 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1062 something complex. Closes: #89311

1204 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1205 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1206 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1207 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1208 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1265 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1266 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1267 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1268 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1269 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1271 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1272 but is mildly deprecated.
1273 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1274 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1275 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1276 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1277 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1278 switching to statoverrides..
1279 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1280 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1281 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1282 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1283 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1284 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1286 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1287 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1288 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1289 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1290 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1291 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1292 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1293 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1294 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1296 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1297 variable names, pod man pages).
1298 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1299 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1300 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1301 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1302 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1303 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1304 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1470 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1475 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1476 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1477 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1541 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
1542 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
1543 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
1544 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
1545 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
1546 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

1720 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1721 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1722 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1723 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1724 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1725 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1726 notice until v2 is complete.
1727 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1728 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1729 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1730 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1731 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1732 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1734 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1735 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1736 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
1737 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

1861 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

1949 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2089 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2090 I made some changes, though:
2091 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2092 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2093 that is a clear violation of policy.
2094 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2095 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2096 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2097 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2098 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2099 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2100 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2101 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2102 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2104 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2146 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

2148 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2149 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2150 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2268 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2269 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2270 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2271 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2272 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2273 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2274 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2275 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2276 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2277 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2278 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2279 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2289 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2290 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2291 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2292 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2293 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2294 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

2554 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
2555 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
2556 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
2557 more than 1 init script.

3071 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages

3228 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3229 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3230 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3231 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3232 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3233 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3598 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
3599 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3600 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3601 past week. Thanks, guys!
3603 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3604 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3605 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3606 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3607 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3608 would do in the same situation.
3609 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3610 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3612 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3614 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3615 permissions changed.
3616 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3617 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3618 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3619 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3620 files are treated identically.
3621 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
3622 * Minor man page fixes.
3623 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

3634 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3635 use -X multiple times, too.
3636 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
3637 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4115 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4116 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running

4118 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4179 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4180 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4181 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4182 multiple binary packages.
4183 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4184 should rebuild them with this version.

4205 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4206 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4207 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4208 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4209 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4210 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4211 debian/README.debian.
4212 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4213 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4214 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4215 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4216 in a few situations.)

4252 * Multiple binary package support.
4253 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,

4255 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4257 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4258 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4259 auto-installed as parameters.
4260 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4262 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4265 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4266 the package build directory it is to act on.
4267 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4268 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4269 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
