31 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
32 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
33 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
34 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
35 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
36 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
37 logging by dh_listpackages.

73 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems

78 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

80 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
81 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned

84 recommended default, especially when using dh.
85 * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
86 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

516 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
517 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
518 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
519 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
520 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

539 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
541 * Non-maintainer upload.
542 * Update of dh_python
543 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
544 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
545 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
546 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
547 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
548 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
549 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
550 specific python version. Closes: #373853
551 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
552 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
554 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
555 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
556 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
557 the not too-distant future).
558 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
559 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
560 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
561 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
562 thus made the build fail.

2258 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2259 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2260 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2261 dh_install, which ...
2262 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2263 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2264 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2265 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2266 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2267 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2268 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2269 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2270 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2271 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2272 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2273 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2274 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2275 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2276 other minor changes.
2277 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2278 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2279 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2280 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2281 course there's -X ..)
2282 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2283 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2286 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2287 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2288 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2289 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2290 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2365 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2367 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2368 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2369 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2370 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2371 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2372 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2373 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2374 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2375 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2376 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2377 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2378 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2379 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2380 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2381 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2382 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2384 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2419 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2420 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2421 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2422 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2423 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2424 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2425 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2426 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2427 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2603 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2604 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2605 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2606 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2607 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2608 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2609 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2610 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2611 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2612 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2613 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2614 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2615 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2635 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2636 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2637 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2638 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2639 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2640 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2641 program those options go to. So, for example,
2642 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2643 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2644 something complex. Closes: #89311

2784 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2785 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2786 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2787 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2788 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2789 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2790 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2791 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2845 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2847 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2848 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2849 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2850 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2851 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2852 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2853 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2854 but is mildly deprecated.
2855 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2856 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2857 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2858 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2859 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2860 switching to statoverrides..
2861 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2862 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2863 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2864 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2865 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2866 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2868 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2869 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2870 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2871 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2872 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2873 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2874 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2875 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2876 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2878 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2879 variable names, pod man pages).
2880 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2881 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2882 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2883 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2884 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2885 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2886 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3020 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
3021 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
3022 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
3023 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain
3024 files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just
3025 to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249

3039 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
3040 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
3041 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
3042 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
3043 backwards-compatability.

3049 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3050 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3051 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3052 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3053 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3054 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3055 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3057 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3058 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3059 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3061 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3063 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3064 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3065 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3066 should now be raised to severity important..
3067 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3068 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3108 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3109 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3110 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3111 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3124 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3125 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3126 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3127 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3128 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3236 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

3302 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3303 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3304 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3305 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3306 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3307 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3308 notice until v2 is complete.
3309 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3310 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3311 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3312 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3313 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3314 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3316 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3317 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3318 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3528 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3529 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3530 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3531 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3539 * dh_installmanpages:
3540 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3541 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3542 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3543 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3544 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3545 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3546 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3547 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3548 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3549 otherwise change the result at all.
3551 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3552 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3553 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3554 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3571 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3572 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3574 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3575 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3576 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3577 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3671 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3672 I made some changes, though:
3673 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3674 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3675 that is a clear violation of policy.
3676 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3677 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3678 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3679 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3680 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3681 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3682 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3683 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3684 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3686 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3728 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3729 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3730 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3731 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3732 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3733 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

3850 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3851 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3852 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3853 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3854 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3855 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3856 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3857 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3858 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3859 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3860 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3861 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3871 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3872 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3873 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3874 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3875 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3876 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4034 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
4035 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4037 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

4182 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4183 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4184 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4199 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4200 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4248 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4250 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4560 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
4561 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
4562 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages
4563 built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt.

4569 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4570 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4571 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4572 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

4597 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4598 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4599 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4600 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4601 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4602 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4603 suidregister actually supports it.
4604 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4605 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4618 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4619 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4620 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4621 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4622 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4623 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4624 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4625 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4653 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4654 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4655 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any

4792 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4793 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4794 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4809 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4810 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4811 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4812 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4813 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4814 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4815 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4854 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4855 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4856 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to

5034 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages

5049 updating 27 man pages.
5050 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
5051 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

5180 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5181 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5182 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5183 past week. Thanks, guys!
5185 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5186 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5187 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5188 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5189 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5190 would do in the same situation.
5191 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5192 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5194 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5196 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5197 permissions changed.
5198 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5199 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5200 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5201 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5202 files are treated identically.
5203 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5204 * Minor man page fixes.
5205 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5206 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5207 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5214 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5215 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5216 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5217 use -X multiple times, too.
5218 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5219 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5244 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5245 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5524 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5525 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5527 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5528 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5529 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5530 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5531 a given package, or -i or -a.
5532 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5533 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5534 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5535 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5536 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5537 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5538 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5539 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5540 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5542 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5543 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5544 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5567 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5616 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5617 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5618 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5619 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5620 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

5791 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

5795 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5796 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5797 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5798 in a few situations.)

5847 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5848 the package build directory it is to act on.
5849 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5850 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
