451 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
452 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
453 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
454 dh_install, which ...
455 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
456 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
457 mess, as it uses debian/install.
458 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
459 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
460 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
461 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
462 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
463 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
464 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
465 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
466 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
467 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
468 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
470 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
471 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
472 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
473 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
474 course there's -X ..)
475 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
476 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
477 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
479 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
480 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
481 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
482 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
483 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

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

530 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
531 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

558 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
560 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
561 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
562 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
563 line, as well as in debian/rules.
564 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
565 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
566 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
567 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
568 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
569 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
570 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
571 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
572 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
573 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
574 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
575 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
577 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

835 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1042 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1043 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1044 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1045 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1046 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1047 but is mildly deprecated.
1048 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1049 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1050 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1051 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1052 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1053 switching to statoverrides..
1054 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1055 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1056 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1057 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1058 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1059 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1061 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1062 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1063 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1064 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1065 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1066 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1067 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1068 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1069 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1071 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1072 variable names, pod man pages).
1073 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1074 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1075 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1076 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1077 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1078 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1079 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1245 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1246 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1247 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1248 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1250 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1251 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1252 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1254 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

1257 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1258 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

1495 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1496 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1497 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1498 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1499 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1500 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1501 notice until v2 is complete.
1502 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1503 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1504 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1505 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1506 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1507 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

1638 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
1639 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

1722 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
1723 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1724 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1725 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1726 bits until all files have been registered.

1737 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1738 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

1740 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
1741 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1742 otherwise change the result at all.
1744 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1745 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

1767 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to

1865 I made some changes, though:
1866 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1867 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1868 that is a clear violation of policy.
1869 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1870 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1871 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1872 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1873 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1874 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1875 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1876 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1877 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1879 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2049 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2050 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2051 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2052 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2053 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2054 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2060 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2061 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2062 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2064 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2065 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2066 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2067 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2068 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2069 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2071 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2072 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2126 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
2127 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
2128 it's always available.

2762 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
2763 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

2792 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

3005 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3006 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3007 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3008 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3114 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3115 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3116 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3375 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3376 past week. Thanks, guys!
3378 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3379 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3380 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3381 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3382 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3383 would do in the same situation.
3384 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3385 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

3389 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3390 permissions changed.

3392 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3393 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3394 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3395 files are treated identically.

3410 use -X multiple times, too.

3538 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
3539 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
3540 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
3541 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
3542 no packages use the old behavior.

3672 argument processor in perl.

3685 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
3686 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
3687 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
3688 are supported. (#16935)

3706 version requirements in the shlibs file.
3707 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
3708 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
3709 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

3716 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
3717 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
3718 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
3720 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
3721 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
3722 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
3723 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3724 a given package, or -i or -a.
3725 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3726 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3727 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3728 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
3729 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
3730 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
3731 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
3732 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
3733 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
3735 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
3736 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

3760 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

3809 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
3810 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
3811 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
3812 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

4042 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4043 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4044 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
