131 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability

134 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
135 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1457 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1458 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1459 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1460 dh_install, which ...
1461 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1462 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1463 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1464 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1465 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1466 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1467 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1468 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1469 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1470 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1471 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1472 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1473 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1474 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1475 other minor changes.
1476 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1477 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1478 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1479 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1480 course there's -X ..)
1481 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1482 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1483 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1485 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1486 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1487 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1488 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1489 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1564 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1566 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1567 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1568 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1569 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1570 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1571 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1572 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1573 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1574 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1575 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1576 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1577 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1578 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1579 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1580 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1581 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1583 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1599 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
1600 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1601 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1602 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1603 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1604 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
1605 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

1616 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1618 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1619 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1620 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1621 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1622 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1623 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1624 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1625 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1626 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1807 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented

1810 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1811 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1812 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1838 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1839 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1840 program those options go to. So, for example,
1841 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2046 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2047 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2048 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2049 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2050 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2051 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2052 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2053 but is mildly deprecated.
2054 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2055 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2056 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2057 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2058 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2059 switching to statoverrides..
2060 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2061 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2062 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2063 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2064 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2065 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2067 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2068 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2069 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2070 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2071 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2072 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2073 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2074 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2075 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2077 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2078 variable names, pod man pages).
2079 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2080 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2081 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2082 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2083 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2084 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2085 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2154 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2155 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2156 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2157 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2158 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2159 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2160 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2161 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2162 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2163 it is an obsolete program.

2248 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2249 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2250 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2251 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2252 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2253 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2254 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2256 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2257 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2258 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2260 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2262 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2263 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2264 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2265 should now be raised to severity important..
2266 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2267 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2306 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2307 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2308 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2309 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2310 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2326 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2327 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2501 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2502 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2503 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2504 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2505 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2506 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2507 notice until v2 is complete.
2508 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2509 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2510 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2511 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2512 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2513 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2515 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2516 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2517 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2639 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2640 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2642 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2643 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2644 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2645 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2646 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2727 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2728 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2729 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2730 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2731 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2732 bits until all files have been registered.

2742 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2743 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2744 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2745 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2746 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2747 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2748 otherwise change the result at all.
2750 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2751 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2752 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2771 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2773 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2774 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2775 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

2870 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2871 I made some changes, though:
2872 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2873 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2874 that is a clear violation of policy.
2875 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2876 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2877 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2878 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2879 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2880 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2881 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2882 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2883 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2885 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2929 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2930 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2931 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3053 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3054 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3055 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3056 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3057 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3058 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3059 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3060 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3066 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3067 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3068 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3070 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3071 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3072 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3073 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3074 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3075 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3077 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3078 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3132 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3133 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3134 it's always available.

3768 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3769 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
3770 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I

3796 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3797 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3798 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3799 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3802 suidregister actually supports it.

3820 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

3852 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3853 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not

4009 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to

4011 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4012 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4013 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4014 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4056 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4057 things you don't want them to.
4058 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4059 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4118 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4119 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4120 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4121 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4122 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4123 I apologize for the inconvenience.

4194 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4195 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4196 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4197 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4198 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4381 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4382 past week. Thanks, guys!
4384 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4385 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4386 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4387 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4388 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4389 would do in the same situation.
4390 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4391 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

4395 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4396 permissions changed.

4398 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4399 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4400 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4401 files are treated identically.

4729 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4730 a given package, or -i or -a.
4731 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4732 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4733 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4734 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

4736 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4738 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5046 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5047 the package build directory it is to act on.
5048 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5049 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5050 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
