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

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

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

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

840 program those options go to. So, for example,
841 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1044 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1046 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1047 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1048 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1049 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1050 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1051 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1052 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1053 but is mildly deprecated.
1054 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1055 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1056 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1057 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1058 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1059 switching to statoverrides..
1060 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1061 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1062 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1063 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1064 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1065 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1067 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1068 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1069 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1070 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1071 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1072 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1073 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1074 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1075 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1077 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1078 variable names, pod man pages).
1079 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1080 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1081 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1082 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1083 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1084 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1085 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1157 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1158 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1160 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
1161 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

1251 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1253 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1254 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1256 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1257 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1258 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1263 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1264 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

1501 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1502 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1503 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1504 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1505 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1506 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1507 notice until v2 is complete.
1508 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1509 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1510 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1511 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1512 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1513 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

1644 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
1645 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

1729 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1730 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1731 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1732 bits until all files have been registered.

1742 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
1743 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1744 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

1746 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
1747 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

1750 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1751 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

1871 I made some changes, though:
1872 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1873 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1874 that is a clear violation of policy.
1875 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1876 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1877 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1878 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1879 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1880 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1881 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1882 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1883 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1885 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2051 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2052 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2053 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2054 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2055 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2056 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2057 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2058 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2059 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2060 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2066 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2067 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2068 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2070 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2071 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2072 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2073 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2074 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2075 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2077 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2078 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3011 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3012 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3013 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3014 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3055 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3056 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3057 things you don't want them to.
3058 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3059 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3120 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3121 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3122 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3194 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3195 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3196 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem

3381 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3382 past week. Thanks, guys!
3384 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3385 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3386 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3387 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3388 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3389 would do in the same situation.
3390 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3391 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

3395 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3396 permissions changed.

3398 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3399 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3400 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3401 files are treated identically.

3729 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3730 a given package, or -i or -a.
3731 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3732 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3733 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3734 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

3736 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4043 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4046 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4047 the package build directory it is to act on.
4048 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4049 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4050 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
