77 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
78 contributed by Modestas Vainius
79 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
80 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
81 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
82 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
83 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
84 that support it. Closes: #480577
85 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
86 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
87 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
89 - Adds support for cmake.
90 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
91 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
93 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
95 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
96 that use them. The options are:
97 --sourcedir, --destdir
98 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
99 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
100 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
101 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
102 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

164 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
165 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
166 warning or deprecation message.
167 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
168 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
169 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
170 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
171 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
172 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
173 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

388 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown

1031 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules
1034 * ACK last three NMUs with thanks to Raphael Hertzog for making the best of
1035 a difficult situation.
1036 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
1037 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
1038 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
1039 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
1040 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
1041 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
1042 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1043 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
1044 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
1045 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

1052 * Update of dh_python
1053 - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
1054 reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
1056 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948

1066 * Non-maintainer upload.
1067 * Update of dh_python
1068 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1069 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1070 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1071 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1072 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1073 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1074 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1075 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1076 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1077 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1079 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1080 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1081 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1082 the not too-distant future).
1083 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1084 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1085 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1086 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1087 thus made the build fail.

2783 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2784 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2785 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2786 dh_install, which ...
2787 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2788 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2789 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2790 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2791 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2792 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2793 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2794 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2795 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2796 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2797 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2798 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2799 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2800 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2801 other minor changes.
2802 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2803 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2804 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2805 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2806 course there's -X ..)
2807 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2808 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2809 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2811 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2812 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2813 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2814 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2815 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2862 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2863 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2890 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2892 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2893 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2894 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2895 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2896 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2897 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2898 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2899 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2900 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2901 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2902 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2903 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2904 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2905 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2906 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2907 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2909 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2944 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2945 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2946 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2947 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2948 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2949 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2950 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2951 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2952 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3126 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3128 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3129 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3130 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3131 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3132 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3133 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3134 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3135 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3136 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3137 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3138 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3140 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3160 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3161 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3162 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3163 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3164 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3165 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3166 program those options go to. So, for example,
3167 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3168 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3169 something complex. Closes: #89311

3309 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3310 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3311 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3312 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3313 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3314 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3315 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3316 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3370 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3372 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3373 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3374 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3375 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3376 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3377 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3378 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3379 but is mildly deprecated.
3380 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3381 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3382 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3383 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3384 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3385 switching to statoverrides..
3386 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3387 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3388 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3389 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3390 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3391 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3393 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3394 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3395 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3396 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3397 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3398 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3399 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3400 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3401 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3403 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3404 variable names, pod man pages).
3405 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3406 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3407 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3408 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3409 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3410 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3411 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3574 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3575 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3576 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3577 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3578 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3579 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3580 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3582 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3583 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3584 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3586 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3588 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3589 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3590 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3591 should now be raised to severity important..
3592 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3593 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3635 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3651 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3652 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3653 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3827 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3828 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3829 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3830 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3831 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3832 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3833 notice until v2 is complete.
3834 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3835 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3836 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3837 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3838 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3839 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3841 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3842 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4052 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4053 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4054 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4055 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4056 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4057 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4058 bits until all files have been registered.

4065 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely

4067 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4068 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4069 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4070 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4071 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4072 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4073 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4074 otherwise change the result at all.
4076 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4077 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4078 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
4079 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

4096 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4097 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4099 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4100 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4101 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4102 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4141 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

4195 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4196 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4197 I made some changes, though:
4198 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4199 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4200 that is a clear violation of policy.
4201 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4202 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4203 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4204 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4205 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4206 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4207 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4208 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4209 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4211 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4253 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4254 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4255 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4256 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4257 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4258 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

4375 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4376 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4377 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4378 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4379 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4380 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4381 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4382 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4383 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4384 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4385 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4386 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4396 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4397 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4398 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4399 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4400 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4401 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4521 update your "use" line and declare an appropriate dependancy. (Closes:

4551 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

4559 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
4560 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4615 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

4630 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4631 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
4632 * debhelper.1: documented this.
4633 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
4634 current compatability level is equal to that number.

4707 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4708 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4709 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4724 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4725 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4727 x bit was being set!

4771 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)

4773 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
4774 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
4775 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4878 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
4879 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4881 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

5337 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5338 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5339 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5340 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5517 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5518 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5519 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5520 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5521 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5522 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5523 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5524 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5525 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5526 passed any switches.
5527 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

5707 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5708 past week. Thanks, guys!
5710 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5711 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5712 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5713 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5714 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5715 would do in the same situation.
5716 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5717 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5719 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5721 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5722 permissions changed.
5723 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5724 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5725 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5726 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5727 files are treated identically.

5741 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5742 use -X multiple times, too.

6017 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6019 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6020 are supported. (#16935)

6055 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6056 a given package, or -i or -a.
6057 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6058 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6059 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6060 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6062 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6143 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6144 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
