64 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
65 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
66 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
67 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
68 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
69 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
70 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

99 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
100 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
101 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
102 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
103 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980

105 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

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

226 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the

1549 dh_install, which ...
1550 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649

1554 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1555 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1556 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1557 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1558 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this

1562 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1563 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1564 other minor changes.
1565 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1566 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1567 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1568 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1569 course there's -X ..)
1570 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1571 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1572 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1574 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1575 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1576 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1577 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

1623 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1625 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1653 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1655 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1656 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1657 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1658 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1659 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1660 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1661 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1662 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1663 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1664 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1665 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1666 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1667 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1668 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1669 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1670 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1672 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1707 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1708 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1709 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1710 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1711 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1712 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1713 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1714 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1715 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2051 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
2052 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
2053 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which

2072 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2073 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2074 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2075 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2076 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2077 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2078 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2079 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2135 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2136 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2137 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2138 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2139 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2141 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2142 but is mildly deprecated.
2143 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2144 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2145 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2146 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2147 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2148 switching to statoverrides..
2149 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2150 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2151 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2152 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2153 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2154 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2156 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2157 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2158 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2159 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2160 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2161 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2162 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2163 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2164 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2166 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2167 variable names, pod man pages).
2168 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2169 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2170 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2171 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2172 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2173 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2174 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2247 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2340 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2341 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2342 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2343 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2345 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2346 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2347 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2352 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2353 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2539 * Added a section to debhelper(1) about files in debian/ used by
2540 debhelper, which documents this. Removed scattered references to
2541 debian/filename from all over the man pages.

2590 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2591 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2592 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2593 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2594 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2595 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2596 notice until v2 is complete.
2597 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2598 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2599 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2600 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2601 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2602 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2604 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2605 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2606 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2731 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2818 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2819 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2820 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2821 bits until all files have been registered.

2833 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2836 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2837 otherwise change the result at all.
2839 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2840 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2960 I made some changes, though:
2961 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2962 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2963 that is a clear violation of policy.
2964 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2965 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2966 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2967 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2968 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2969 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2970 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2971 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2972 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2974 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3139 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3140 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3141 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3142 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3143 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3144 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3145 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3146 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3147 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3148 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3149 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3857 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3858 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4065 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
4067 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
4068 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4069 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4070 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4071 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
4072 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

4076 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
4078 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4079 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4080 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4081 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4082 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4093 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
4095 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4096 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4097 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4098 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4099 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4100 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4101 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4102 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4103 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4115 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
4116 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
4117 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

4139 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4140 sections of shared libraries.
4141 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4142 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4143 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4144 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4145 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4146 things you don't want them to.
4147 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4148 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4175 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4176 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4177 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

4207 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4208 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4209 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4210 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4211 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4212 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4214 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4215 remove debian/files properly.
4216 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4217 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4218 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4219 * Removed bogus menu file.

4236 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4268 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4279 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4280 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4281 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4282 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4283 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4284 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4285 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4286 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4287 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4288 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4289 passed any switches.

4301 large chunks in the process.
4302 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4303 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4470 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4471 past week. Thanks, guys!
4473 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4474 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4475 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4476 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4477 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4478 would do in the same situation.
4479 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4480 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4482 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4484 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4485 permissions changed.
4486 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4487 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4488 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4489 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4490 files are treated identically.

4505 use -X multiple times, too.

4818 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4819 a given package, or -i or -a.
4820 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4821 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4822 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4823 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4824 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4825 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4827 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5043 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5047 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5049 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5050 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5051 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5052 multiple binary packages.
5053 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5054 should rebuild them with this version.
5055 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5059 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
5061 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
5062 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

5071 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 17 Oct 1997 14:18:26 -0400
5073 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5075 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5076 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5077 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5078 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5079 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5080 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5081 debian/README.debian.
5082 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5083 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5084 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5085 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5086 in a few situations.)

5090 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5092 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

5096 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5109 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5111 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
5112 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
5113 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.
5115 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
5117 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5119 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5120 is ready for general use.
5121 * Added man pages for all commands.
5122 * Multiple binary package support.
5123 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5124 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5125 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5127 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5128 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5129 auto-installed as parameters.
5130 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5132 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5135 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5136 the package build directory it is to act on.
5137 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5138 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5139 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
