30 existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is

85 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
86 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
88 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
89 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
90 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
91 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
92 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
93 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
94 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
95 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
96 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

98 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

105 package install. Closes: #415717
106 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
107 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
108 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
109 script and then remove the python files.
110 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
111 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
112 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
113 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
114 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
115 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
116 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
117 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
118 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
119 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
120 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250

238 * Non-maintainer upload.
239 * Update of dh_python
240 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
241 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
242 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
243 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
244 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
245 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
246 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
247 specific python version. Closes: #373853
248 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
249 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
251 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
252 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
253 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
254 the not too-distant future).
255 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
256 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
257 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
258 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

631 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
632 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
633 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1955 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1956 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1957 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1958 dh_install, which ...
1959 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1960 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1961 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1962 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1963 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1964 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1965 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1966 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1967 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1968 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1969 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1970 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1971 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1972 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1973 other minor changes.
1974 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1975 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1976 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1977 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1978 course there's -X ..)
1979 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1980 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1981 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1983 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1984 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1985 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1986 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1987 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2034 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2035 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2062 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2064 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2065 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2066 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2067 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2068 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2069 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2070 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2071 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2072 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2073 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2074 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2075 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2076 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2077 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2078 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2079 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2081 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2114 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2116 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2117 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2118 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2119 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2120 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2121 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2122 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2123 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2124 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2336 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2337 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever

2542 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2544 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2545 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2546 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2547 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2548 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2549 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2550 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2551 but is mildly deprecated.
2552 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2553 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2554 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2555 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2556 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2557 switching to statoverrides..
2558 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2559 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2560 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2561 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2562 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2563 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2565 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2566 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2567 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2568 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2569 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2570 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2571 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2572 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2573 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2575 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2576 variable names, pod man pages).
2577 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2578 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2579 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2580 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2581 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2582 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2583 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2655 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2656 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2657 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2658 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2659 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

2749 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2751 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2752 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2754 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2755 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2756 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2758 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2761 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2762 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2999 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3000 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3001 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3002 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3003 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3004 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3005 notice until v2 is complete.
3006 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3007 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3008 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3009 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3010 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3011 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3142 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3143 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3144 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3226 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3227 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3228 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3229 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3230 bits until all files have been registered.

3240 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3241 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3242 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3244 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3245 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3246 otherwise change the result at all.
3248 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3249 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3368 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3369 I made some changes, though:
3370 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3371 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3372 that is a clear violation of policy.
3373 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3374 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3375 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3376 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3377 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3378 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3379 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3380 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3381 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3383 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3549 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3550 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3551 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3552 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3553 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3554 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3555 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3556 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3557 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3558 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3564 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3565 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3566 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3568 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3569 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3570 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3571 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3572 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3573 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3575 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3576 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4509 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4510 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4511 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4553 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4554 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4555 things you don't want them to.
4556 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4557 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4618 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4619 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4620 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4880 past week. Thanks, guys!
4882 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4883 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4884 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4885 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4886 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4887 would do in the same situation.

4889 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

4893 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4894 permissions changed.

4896 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4897 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4898 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4899 files are treated identically.

5227 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5228 a given package, or -i or -a.
5229 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5230 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5231 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5232 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5234 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5541 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5544 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5545 the package build directory it is to act on.
5546 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5547 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5548 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
