1066 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
1067 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
1068 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
1069 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
1070 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

1098 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1099 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1100 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1101 dh_install, which ...
1102 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1103 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1104 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1105 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1106 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1107 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1108 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1109 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1110 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1111 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1112 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1113 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1114 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1115 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1116 other minor changes.
1117 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1118 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1119 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1120 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1121 course there's -X ..)
1122 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1123 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1124 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1126 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1127 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1128 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1129 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1130 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1175 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1177 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1178 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1205 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1207 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1208 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1209 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1210 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1211 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1212 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1213 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1214 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1215 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1216 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1217 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1218 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1219 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1220 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1221 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1222 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1224 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1259 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1260 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1261 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1262 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1263 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1264 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1265 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1266 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1627 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1628 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies

1687 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1688 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1689 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1690 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1691 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1693 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1694 but is mildly deprecated.
1695 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1696 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1697 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1698 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1699 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1700 switching to statoverrides..
1701 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1702 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1703 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1704 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1705 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1706 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1708 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1709 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1710 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1711 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1712 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1713 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1714 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1715 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1716 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1718 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1719 variable names, pod man pages).
1720 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1721 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1722 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1723 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1724 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1725 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1726 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2142 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2143 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2144 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2145 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2146 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2147 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2148 notice until v2 is complete.
2149 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2150 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2151 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2152 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2153 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2154 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2156 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2157 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2158 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2159 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2280 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2281 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2283 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2284 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2285 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2286 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2370 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2371 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2372 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2373 bits until all files have been registered.

2391 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2392 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2512 I made some changes, though:
2513 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2514 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2515 that is a clear violation of policy.
2516 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2517 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2518 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2519 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2520 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2521 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2522 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2523 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2524 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2526 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2568 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

2691 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2692 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2693 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2694 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2695 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2696 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2697 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2698 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2699 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2700 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2701 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3605 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.

3617 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3619 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
3620 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3621 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3622 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
3623 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
3624 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

3628 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
3630 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3631 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3632 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3633 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3634 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3645 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
3647 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3648 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3649 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3650 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3651 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3652 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3653 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3654 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3655 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3667 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
3668 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
3669 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

3689 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
3691 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3692 sections of shared libraries.
3693 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3694 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3695 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3696 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3697 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3698 things you don't want them to.
3699 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3700 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3727 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3728 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
3729 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

3759 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3760 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3761 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3762 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3763 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3764 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3766 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3767 remove debian/files properly.
3768 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
3769 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
3770 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
3771 * Removed bogus menu file.

3787 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
3788 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

3819 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
3820 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

3831 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
3832 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
3833 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
3834 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3835 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3836 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3837 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3838 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3839 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
3840 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
3841 passed any switches.

3851 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
3852 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
3853 large chunks in the process.
3854 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
3855 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4021 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4022 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4023 past week. Thanks, guys!
4025 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4026 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4027 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4028 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4029 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4030 would do in the same situation.
4031 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4032 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4034 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4036 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4037 permissions changed.
4038 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4039 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4040 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4041 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4042 files are treated identically.

4054 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4055 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4056 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4057 use -X multiple times, too.
4058 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4059 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4370 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4371 a given package, or -i or -a.
4372 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4373 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4540 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4591 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4592 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4593 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4594 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4595 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4601 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4602 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4603 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4604 multiple binary packages.
4605 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4606 should rebuild them with this version.
4607 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4625 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4627 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4628 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4629 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4630 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4631 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4632 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4633 debian/README.debian.
4634 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4635 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4636 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4637 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4638 in a few situations.)

4669 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4671 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4672 is ready for general use.
4673 * Added man pages for all commands.
4674 * Multiple binary package support.
4675 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4676 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4677 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4679 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4680 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4681 auto-installed as parameters.
4682 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4684 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4687 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4688 the package build directory it is to act on.
4689 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4690 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4691 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
