1025 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1026 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1027 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1028 dh_install, which ...
1029 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1030 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1031 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1032 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1033 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1034 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1035 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1036 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1037 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1038 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1039 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1040 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1041 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1042 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1043 other minor changes.
1044 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1045 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1046 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039

1102 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1104 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1132 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1134 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1135 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1136 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1137 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1138 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1139 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1140 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1141 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1142 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1143 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1144 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1145 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1146 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1147 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1148 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1149 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1151 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1186 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1187 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1188 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1189 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1190 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1191 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1192 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1193 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1552 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1553 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1554 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1555 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1556 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1557 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1558 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1614 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1615 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1616 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1617 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1618 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1620 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1621 but is mildly deprecated.
1622 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1623 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1624 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1625 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1626 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1627 switching to statoverrides..
1628 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1629 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1630 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1631 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1632 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1633 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1635 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1636 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1637 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1638 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1639 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1640 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1641 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1642 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1643 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1645 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1646 variable names, pod man pages).
1647 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1648 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1649 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1650 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1651 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1652 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1653 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1819 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1821 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1822 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1824 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1825 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1826 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2069 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2070 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2071 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2072 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2073 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2074 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2075 notice until v2 is complete.
2076 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2077 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2078 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2079 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2080 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2081 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2083 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2084 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2085 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2208 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2210 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2211 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2212 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2213 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2297 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2298 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2299 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2300 bits until all files have been registered.

2312 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2315 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2316 otherwise change the result at all.
2318 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2319 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2439 I made some changes, though:
2440 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2441 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2442 that is a clear violation of policy.
2443 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2444 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2445 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2446 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2447 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2448 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2449 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2450 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2451 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2453 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2574 existance of emacs-package-install/remove before calling them. Though
2575 a strict reading of the emacsen policy indicates that such a test

2616 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2617 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2618 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2619 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2620 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2621 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2622 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2623 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2624 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2625 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2626 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2627 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2628 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2634 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2635 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2636 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2638 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2639 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2640 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2641 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2642 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2643 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

2646 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3557 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3558 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3559 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3560 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3561 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3576 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3577 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3578 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3579 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3580 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3581 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3582 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3622 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3623 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3624 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3625 things you don't want them to.

3689 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3690 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3956 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3957 would do in the same situation.

4280 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4281 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

4291 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4294 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4295 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4296 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4297 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4298 a given package, or -i or -a.
4299 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4300 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4301 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4302 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4303 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4304 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4305 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4306 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4334 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

4384 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4385 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4386 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

4534 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4538 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
4540 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
4541 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

4545 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

4550 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 17 Oct 1997 14:18:26 -0400
4552 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4554 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4555 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4556 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4557 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4558 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4559 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4560 debian/README.debian.
4561 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4562 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4563 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4564 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4565 in a few situations.)

4569 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

4575 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

4588 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

4594 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
4596 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4598 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4599 is ready for general use.
4600 * Added man pages for all commands.
4601 * Multiple binary package support.
4602 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4603 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4604 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4606 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4607 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4608 auto-installed as parameters.
4609 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4611 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4614 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4615 the package build directory it is to act on.
4616 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4617 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4618 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
