9 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
10 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
12 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
13 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
14 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
15 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
16 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
17 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
18 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
19 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
20 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
21 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
22 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

28 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
29 package install. Closes: #415717
30 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
31 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
32 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
33 script and then remove the python files.
34 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
35 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
36 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
37 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
38 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
39 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
40 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
41 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
42 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
43 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
44 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
45 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
46 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

69 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros

160 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
162 * Non-maintainer upload.
163 * Update of dh_python
164 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
165 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
166 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
167 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
168 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
169 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
170 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
171 specific python version. Closes: #373853
172 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
173 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
175 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
176 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
177 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
178 the not too-distant future).
179 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
180 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
181 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
182 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

553 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
554 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
555 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
556 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
557 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1879 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1880 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1881 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1882 dh_install, which ...
1883 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1884 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1885 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1886 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1887 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1888 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1889 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1890 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1891 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1892 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1893 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1894 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1895 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1896 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1897 other minor changes.
1898 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1899 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1900 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1901 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1902 course there's -X ..)
1903 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1904 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1905 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1907 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1908 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1956 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1958 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1959 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1986 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1988 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1989 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1990 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1991 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1992 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1993 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1994 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1995 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1996 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1997 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1998 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1999 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2000 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2001 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2002 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2003 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2005 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2041 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2042 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2043 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2044 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2045 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2046 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2047 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2048 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2224 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2225 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2226 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2227 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2228 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2229 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2230 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2231 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2232 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2233 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2234 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2236 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2258 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2259 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2260 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2261 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2262 program those options go to. So, for example,
2263 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2264 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2408 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2409 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2410 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2411 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2468 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2469 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2470 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2471 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2472 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2473 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2474 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2475 but is mildly deprecated.
2476 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2477 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2478 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2479 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2480 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2481 switching to statoverrides..
2482 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2483 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2484 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2485 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2486 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2487 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2489 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2490 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2491 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2492 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2493 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2494 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2495 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2496 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2497 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2499 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2500 variable names, pod man pages).
2501 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2502 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2503 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2504 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2505 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2506 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2507 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2577 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in

2579 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2580 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2582 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2673 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2674 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2675 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2676 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2678 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2679 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2680 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2682 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2684 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2685 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2686 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2687 should now be raised to severity important..
2688 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2689 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2923 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2924 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2925 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2926 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2927 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2928 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2929 notice until v2 is complete.
2930 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2931 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2932 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2933 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2934 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2935 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2937 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3056 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
3057 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
3058 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
3059 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3060 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3061 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3062 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3064 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3065 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3066 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3067 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3068 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3069 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
3070 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

3151 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3152 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3153 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3154 bits until all files have been registered.

3164 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3165 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3166 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3167 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3168 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3169 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3170 otherwise change the result at all.
3172 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3173 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3292 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3293 I made some changes, though:
3294 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3295 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3296 that is a clear violation of policy.
3297 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3298 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3299 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3300 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3301 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3302 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3303 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3304 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3305 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3307 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3351 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3352 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3353 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3475 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3476 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3477 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3478 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3479 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3480 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3481 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3482 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3550 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
3551 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
3552 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
3553 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3554 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3555 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3556 it's always available.

3563 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

3598 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
3599 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
3600 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

3726 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except

3803 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3804 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3805 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3820 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3821 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3869 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4218 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4219 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4220 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4221 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4224 suidregister actually supports it.

4242 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4243 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).

4433 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4434 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4435 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4547 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4548 remove debian/files properly.
4549 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4550 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4551 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4552 * Removed bogus menu file.

4569 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4570 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should

4600 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4601 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4612 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4613 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4614 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4615 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4616 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4617 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4618 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4619 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4620 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4634 large chunks in the process.

4803 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4804 past week. Thanks, guys!
4806 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4807 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4808 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4809 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4810 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4811 would do in the same situation.
4812 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4813 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4815 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4817 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4818 permissions changed.
4819 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4820 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4821 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4822 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4823 files are treated identically.
4824 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4837 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4838 use -X multiple times, too.

5149 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command

5151 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5152 a given package, or -i or -a.
5153 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5154 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5155 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5156 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5158 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5160 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5239 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5240 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
