23 This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
24 lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
26 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
27 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
28 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
29 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
30 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
31 planned but not yet implemented.)
32 * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
33 if the Makefile has such a target.
34 * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
35 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
36 * dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
37 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
38 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
39 but not yet implemented.)
40 * New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new
41 recommended default, especially when using dh.
42 * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
43 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

509 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
511 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
512 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
513 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
514 the not too-distant future).
515 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
516 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
517 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
518 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

2215 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2216 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2217 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2218 dh_install, which ...
2219 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2220 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2221 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2222 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2223 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2224 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2225 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2226 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2227 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2228 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2229 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2230 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2231 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2232 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2233 other minor changes.
2234 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2235 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2236 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2237 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2238 course there's -X ..)
2239 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2240 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2241 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2243 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2244 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2245 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2246 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2247 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2294 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2295 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2322 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2324 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2325 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2326 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2327 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2328 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2329 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2330 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2331 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2332 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2333 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2334 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2335 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2336 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2337 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2338 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2339 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2341 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2358 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2359 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2360 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2361 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2362 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2374 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2376 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2377 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2378 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2379 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2380 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2381 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2382 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2383 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2384 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2558 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2560 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2561 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2562 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2563 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2564 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2565 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2566 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2567 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2568 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2569 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2570 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2571 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2572 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2593 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2594 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2595 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2596 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2597 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2598 program those options go to. So, for example,
2599 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2600 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2742 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2743 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2744 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2745 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2746 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2747 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2802 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2804 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2805 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2806 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2807 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2808 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2809 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2810 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2811 but is mildly deprecated.
2812 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2813 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2814 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2815 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2816 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2817 switching to statoverrides..
2818 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2819 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2820 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2821 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2822 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2823 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2825 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2826 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2827 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2828 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2829 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2830 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2831 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2832 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2833 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2835 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2836 variable names, pod man pages).
2837 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2838 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2839 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2840 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2841 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2842 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2843 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3009 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3010 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3011 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3012 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3014 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3015 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3016 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3018 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3020 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3021 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3022 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3023 should now be raised to severity important..
3024 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3025 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3066 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3067 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3068 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3259 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3260 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3261 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3262 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3263 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3264 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3265 notice until v2 is complete.
3266 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3267 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3268 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3269 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3270 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3271 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3273 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3274 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3275 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3488 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3528 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3529 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3531 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3532 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3533 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3534 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3629 I made some changes, though:
3630 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3631 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3632 that is a clear violation of policy.
3633 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3634 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3635 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3636 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3637 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3638 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3639 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3640 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3641 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3643 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3811 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3812 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3813 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3814 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3815 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3816 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3817 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3818 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4028 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
4029 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
4030 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

4044 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.

4060 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
4061 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4062 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4063 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

4094 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4095 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install

4156 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4157 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4554 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4555 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4556 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4557 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4558 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4559 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4560 suidregister actually supports it.
4561 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4562 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4575 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4576 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4577 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4578 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4579 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4580 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4581 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4582 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4610 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages

4612 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any

4749 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4750 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4751 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4766 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4767 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4768 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4769 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4770 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4771 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4772 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4811 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4812 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4813 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4814 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4815 things you don't want them to.

5020 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
5021 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
5022 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
5023 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
5024 bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go

5137 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5138 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5139 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5140 past week. Thanks, guys!
5142 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5143 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5144 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5145 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5146 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5147 would do in the same situation.
5148 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5149 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5151 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5153 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5154 permissions changed.
5155 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5156 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5157 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5158 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5159 files are treated identically.
5160 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5161 * Minor man page fixes.
5162 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5163 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5164 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5170 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
5171 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5172 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5173 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5174 use -X multiple times, too.
5175 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5176 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5197 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
5198 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
5199 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
5200 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5201 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5202 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
5203 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
5204 shape if you're starting a new package.

5233 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
5234 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
5235 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
5236 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

5523 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5524 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5525 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
5526 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

5538 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
5539 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
5540 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
5541 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
5542 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

5550 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
5551 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
5552 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.

5572 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5573 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5574 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5575 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5576 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5577 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5578 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5599 the dh_* programs (#15497).

5653 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5654 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5655 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5656 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5657 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5710 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

5718 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5719 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5720 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5721 multiple binary packages.
5722 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5723 should rebuild them with this version.
5724 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5742 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5744 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5745 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5746 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5747 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5748 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5749 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5750 debian/README.debian.
5751 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5752 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5753 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5754 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5755 in a few situations.)

5789 is ready for general use.

5791 * Multiple binary package support.
5792 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5793 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5794 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5796 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5797 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5798 auto-installed as parameters.
5799 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5801 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5804 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5805 the package build directory it is to act on.
5806 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5807 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5808 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
