3 * rules.tiny: Typo fix. Closes: #479647
4 * dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a
5 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
6 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
7 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default

61 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
62 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
63 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
64 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
65 logging by dh_listpackages.

571 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
572 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
573 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
574 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
575 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
576 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
577 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
578 specific python version. Closes: #373853
579 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
580 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
582 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
583 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
584 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
585 the not too-distant future).
586 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
587 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

2286 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2287 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2288 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2289 dh_install, which ...
2290 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2291 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2292 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2293 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2294 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2295 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2296 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2297 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2298 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2299 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2300 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2301 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2302 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2303 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2304 other minor changes.
2305 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2306 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2307 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2308 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2309 course there's -X ..)
2310 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2311 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2312 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2314 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2315 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2316 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2317 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2318 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2362 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2363 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2364 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2365 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2366 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2393 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2395 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2396 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2397 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2398 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2399 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2400 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2401 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2402 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2403 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2404 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2405 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2406 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2407 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2408 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2409 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2410 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2412 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2429 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2430 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2431 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2432 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2433 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2447 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2448 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2449 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2450 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2451 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2452 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2453 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2454 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2455 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2629 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2631 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2632 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2633 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2634 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2635 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2636 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2637 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2638 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2639 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2640 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2641 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2642 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2643 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2661 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2663 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2664 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2665 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2666 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2667 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2668 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2669 program those options go to. So, for example,
2670 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2671 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2672 something complex. Closes: #89311

2679 * Always include package name in maintainer script fragment filenames
2680 and generated shlibs files (except for in DH_COMPAT=1 mode). This is a

2682 undocumented interface. Closes: #95387

2701 debhelper (3.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
2703 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
2704 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings
2705 breaks things since they LD_PRELOAD a library that is specified in the
2706 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494

2725 debhelper (3.0.20) unstable; urgency=low
2727 * Modified the postrm fragment for dh_installxfonts to not try to delete
2728 any files. The responsibility for doing so devolves onto update-fonts-*

2733 debhelper (3.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
2735 * Now uses html2text rather than lynx for converting html changelogs.
2736 The program generates better results, and won't annoy the people who
2737 were oddly annoyed at having to install lynx. Instead, it will annoy a
2738 whole other set of people, I'm sure. Closes: #93747

2789 debhelper (3.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
2791 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
2792 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
2793 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which

2807 debhelper (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
2809 * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture.
2810 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
2811 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
2812 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2813 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2814 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2815 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2816 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2817 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2818 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2819 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2820 Closes: #88464, #77743
2821 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2822 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2823 us to deal with that gracefully.
2824 * dh_makeshlibs: now uses objdump, should be more accurate. Closes:
2826 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197
2827 * dh_installdocs and dh_link have been able to make doc-dir symlinks for
2828 a while, Closes: #51225

2856 * Updated dh_perl to a new version for the new perl organization and
2857 policy. The -k flag has been done away with, as the new perl packages
2858 don't make packlist files.
2859 * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current
2860 debhelper coding standards.
2861 * Use dh_perl to generate debhelper's own deps.
2862 * Version number increase to meet perl policy.

2873 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2875 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2876 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2877 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2878 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2879 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2880 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2881 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2882 but is mildly deprecated.
2883 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2884 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2885 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2886 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2887 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2888 switching to statoverrides..
2889 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2890 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2891 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2892 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2893 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2894 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2896 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2897 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2898 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2899 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2900 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2901 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2902 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2903 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2904 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2906 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2907 variable names, pod man pages).
2908 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2909 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2910 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2911 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2912 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2913 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2914 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2986 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2987 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2988 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2989 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3077 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3078 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3079 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3080 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3081 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3082 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3083 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3085 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3086 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3087 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3089 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3091 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3092 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3093 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3094 should now be raised to severity important..
3095 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3096 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3138 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3155 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3156 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3330 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3331 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3332 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3333 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3334 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3335 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3336 notice until v2 is complete.
3337 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3338 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3339 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3340 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3341 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3342 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3344 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3345 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

3555 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3556 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3557 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3558 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3559 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3560 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3561 bits until all files have been registered.

3568 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely

3570 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3571 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3572 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3573 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3574 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3575 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3576 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3577 otherwise change the result at all.
3579 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3580 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3581 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3582 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3599 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3600 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3602 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3603 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3604 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3605 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3699 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3700 I made some changes, though:
3701 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3702 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3703 that is a clear violation of policy.
3704 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3705 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3706 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3707 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3708 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3709 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3710 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3711 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3712 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3714 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3756 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3757 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3758 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3759 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3760 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3878 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3879 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3880 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3881 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3882 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3883 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3884 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3885 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3886 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3887 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3888 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3889 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3899 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3900 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3901 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3902 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3903 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3904 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4052 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
4053 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
4054 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
4056 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.

4060 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
4062 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
4063 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
4064 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
4065 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

4099 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
4100 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
4101 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

4118 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

4130 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
4131 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
4132 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4133 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4134 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
4135 * debhelper.1: documented this.
4136 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
4137 current compatability level is equal to that number.
4138 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.

4165 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4166 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
4167 more than 1 init script.

4210 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4211 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4212 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4227 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4228 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4276 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4278 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4382 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4631 suidregister actually supports it.

4840 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4841 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4842 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5023 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5024 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5025 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5026 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5027 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5028 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5029 passed any switches.
5030 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

5209 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5210 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5211 past week. Thanks, guys!
5213 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5214 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5215 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5216 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5217 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5218 would do in the same situation.
5219 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5220 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5222 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5224 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5225 permissions changed.
5226 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5227 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5228 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5229 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5230 files are treated identically.
5231 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5244 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5245 use -X multiple times, too.

5519 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5520 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5521 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5522 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5523 are supported. (#16935)
5524 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5558 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5559 a given package, or -i or -a.
5560 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5561 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5646 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
