59 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
60 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
61 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
63 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
64 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
65 mess, as it uses debian/install.
66 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
67 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
68 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
69 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
70 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
71 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
72 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
73 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
74 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
75 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
76 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
78 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
79 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
80 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
81 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of

87 * use v4 for building debhelper itself

138 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

166 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
168 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
169 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
170 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
171 line, as well as in debian/rules.
172 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
173 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
174 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
175 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
176 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
177 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
178 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
179 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
180 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
181 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
182 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
183 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
185 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

586 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these

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

648 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
649 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
650 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
651 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
652 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
653 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
654 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
655 but is mildly deprecated.
656 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
657 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
658 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
659 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
660 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
661 switching to statoverrides..
662 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
663 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
664 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
665 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
666 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
667 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
669 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
670 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
671 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
672 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
673 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
674 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
675 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
676 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
677 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
679 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
680 variable names, pod man pages).
681 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
682 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
683 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
684 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
685 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
686 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
687 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

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

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

1103 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1104 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1105 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1106 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1107 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1108 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1109 notice until v2 is complete.
1110 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1111 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1112 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1113 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1114 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1115 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1117 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1118 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1119 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
1120 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

1241 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
1242 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
1244 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

1331 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1332 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1333 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1334 bits until all files have been registered.

1349 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1350 otherwise change the result at all.
1352 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1353 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

1473 I made some changes, though:
1474 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1475 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1476 that is a clear violation of policy.
1477 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1478 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1479 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1480 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1481 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1482 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1483 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1484 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1485 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1487 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

1530 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
1531 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
1532 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
1533 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
1534 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
1535 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

1651 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
1652 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
1653 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
1654 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
1655 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
1656 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
1657 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
1658 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
1659 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
1660 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
1661 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
1662 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2370 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
2371 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

2400 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
2401 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

2404 suidregister actually supports it.

2420 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

2422 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
2423 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).

2580 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
2581 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
2582 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
2583 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
2584 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
2585 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

2591 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
2592 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
2593 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
2594 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
2595 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

2606 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
2608 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
2609 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
2610 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
2611 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
2612 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
2613 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
2614 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
2615 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
2616 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

2629 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

2652 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
2653 sections of shared libraries.
2654 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
2655 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
2656 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
2657 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
2658 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
2659 things you don't want them to.
2660 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
2661 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

2688 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
2689 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

2720 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
2721 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
2722 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
2723 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
2724 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
2725 I apologize for the inconvenience.
2727 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
2728 remove debian/files properly.
2729 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

2731 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

2748 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
2749 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

2781 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

2792 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
2793 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
2794 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
2795 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
2796 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
2797 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
2798 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
2799 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
2800 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
2801 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
2802 passed any switches.

2814 large chunks in the process.
2815 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
2816 install many oddly named files it died on before.

2983 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
2984 past week. Thanks, guys!
2986 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
2987 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
2988 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
2989 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
2990 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
2991 would do in the same situation.
2992 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
2993 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
2995 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
2997 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
2998 permissions changed.

3000 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3001 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3002 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3003 files are treated identically.

3332 a given package, or -i or -a.

3334 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

3552 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
3553 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
3554 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
3555 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
3556 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

3560 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
3562 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
3563 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
3564 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
3565 multiple binary packages.
3566 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
3567 should rebuild them with this version.
3568 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

3586 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
3588 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
3589 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
3590 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
3591 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
3592 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
3593 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
3594 debian/README.debian.
3595 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
3596 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
3597 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
3598 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
3599 in a few situations.)

3605 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

3622 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
3624 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
3625 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
3626 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

3630 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
3632 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
3633 is ready for general use.
3634 * Added man pages for all commands.
3635 * Multiple binary package support.
3636 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
3637 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
3638 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
3640 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
3641 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
3642 auto-installed as parameters.
3643 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
3645 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
3648 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
3649 the package build directory it is to act on.
3650 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
3651 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
3652 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
