563 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
564 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
565 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
566 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
567 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
568 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

711 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
713 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
714 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
715 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
716 dh_install, which ...
717 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
718 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
719 mess, as it uses debian/install.
720 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
721 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
722 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
723 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
724 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
725 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
726 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
727 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
728 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
729 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
730 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
732 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
733 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
734 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
735 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
736 course there's -X ..)
737 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
738 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
739 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
741 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
742 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
743 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
744 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
745 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

790 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
791 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
792 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
793 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

820 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
822 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
823 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
824 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
825 line, as well as in debian/rules.
826 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
827 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
828 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
829 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
830 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
831 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
832 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
833 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
834 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
835 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
836 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
837 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
839 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

856 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
857 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
858 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
859 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
860 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
861 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

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

1056 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1058 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1059 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1060 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1061 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1062 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1063 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1064 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1065 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1066 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1067 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1068 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1069 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1070 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1090 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1091 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1092 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1093 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1094 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1095 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1096 program those options go to. So, for example,
1097 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1098 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1099 something complex. Closes: #89311

1239 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1240 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1241 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1242 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1243 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1244 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1245 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1246 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1300 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1302 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1303 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1304 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1305 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1306 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1307 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1308 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1309 but is mildly deprecated.
1310 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1311 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1312 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1313 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1314 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1315 switching to statoverrides..
1316 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1317 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1318 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1319 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1320 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1321 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1323 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1324 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1325 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1326 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1327 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1328 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1329 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1330 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1331 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1333 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1334 variable names, pod man pages).
1335 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1336 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1337 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1338 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1339 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1340 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1341 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1507 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1513 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1514 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1564 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
1565 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
1566 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

1757 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1758 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1759 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1760 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1761 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1762 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1763 notice until v2 is complete.
1764 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1765 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1766 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1767 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1768 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1769 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1771 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1772 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1773 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

1986 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1987 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

2000 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2057 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
2058 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
2060 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
2061 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
2062 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

2068 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
2069 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
2070 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2071 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

2073 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
2074 does not compress. Closes: #41733

2126 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2127 I made some changes, though:
2128 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2129 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2130 that is a clear violation of policy.
2131 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2132 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2133 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2134 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2135 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2136 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2137 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2138 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2139 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2141 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2183 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2184 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2185 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2186 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2187 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2188 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

2306 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2307 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2308 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2309 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2310 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2311 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2312 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2313 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2314 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2315 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2316 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2326 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

2328 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2329 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2330 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2331 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

2557 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
2558 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
2559 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
2560 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
2561 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
2562 * debhelper.1: documented this.
2563 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
2564 current compatability level is equal to that number.

2655 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3073 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
3074 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3075 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3076 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3077 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3078 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3079 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3080 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3108 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages

3248 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

3264 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3265 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3266 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3267 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3268 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3269 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3270 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3309 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3310 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

3635 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
3636 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3637 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3638 past week. Thanks, guys!
3640 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3641 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3642 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3643 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3644 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3645 would do in the same situation.
3646 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3647 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3649 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3651 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3652 permissions changed.
3653 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3654 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3655 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3656 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3657 files are treated identically.
3658 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
3659 * Minor man page fixes.
3660 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

3671 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3672 use -X multiple times, too.

4039 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
4040 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

4048 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
4049 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

4070 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4071 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4072 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4073 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4074 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4075 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4076 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4154 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4155 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4245 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4246 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4247 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4248 debian/README.debian.
4249 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4250 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4251 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4252 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4253 in a few situations.)

4299 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4302 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4303 the package build directory it is to act on.
4304 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4305 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4306 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
