471 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
472 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
473 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
474 dh_install, which ...
475 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
476 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
477 mess, as it uses debian/install.
478 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
479 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
480 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
481 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
482 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
483 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
484 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
485 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
486 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
487 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
488 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
490 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
491 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
492 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
493 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
494 course there's -X ..)
495 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
496 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
497 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
499 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
500 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

547 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
548 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
549 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
550 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
551 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

578 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
580 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
581 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
582 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
583 line, as well as in debian/rules.
584 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
585 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
586 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
587 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
588 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
589 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
590 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
591 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
592 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
593 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
594 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
595 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
597 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

825 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
826 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

852 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
853 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
854 program those options go to. So, for example,
855 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1058 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1060 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1061 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1062 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1063 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1064 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1065 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1066 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1067 but is mildly deprecated.
1068 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1069 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1070 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1071 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1072 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1073 switching to statoverrides..
1074 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1075 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1076 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1077 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1078 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1079 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1081 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1082 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1083 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1084 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1085 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1086 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1087 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1088 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1089 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1091 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1092 variable names, pod man pages).
1093 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1094 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1095 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1096 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1097 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1098 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1099 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1171 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1172 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
1173 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
1174 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
1175 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
1176 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

1265 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1270 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1271 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1272 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1274 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

1277 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1278 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

1515 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1516 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1517 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1518 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1519 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1520 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1521 notice until v2 is complete.
1522 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1523 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1524 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1525 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1526 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1527 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

1653 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
1654 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
1656 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
1657 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
1658 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
1659 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
1660 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

1742 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
1743 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1744 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1745 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1746 bits until all files have been registered.

1756 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
1757 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1758 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
1759 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
1760 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
1761 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1762 otherwise change the result at all.
1764 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1765 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
1766 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

1784 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain

1787 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
1788 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
1789 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

1884 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
1885 I made some changes, though:
1886 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1887 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1888 that is a clear violation of policy.
1889 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1890 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1891 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1892 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1893 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1894 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1895 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1896 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1897 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1899 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2062 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2063 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2064 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2065 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2066 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2067 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2068 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2069 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2070 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2071 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2072 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2073 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2074 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2080 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2081 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2082 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2084 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2085 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2086 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2087 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2088 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2089 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2091 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2092 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2782 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
2783 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
2784 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I

2812 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

2816 suidregister actually supports it.

3025 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3026 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3027 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3028 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3064 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3065 sections of shared libraries.
3066 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3067 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3068 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3069 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3070 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3071 things you don't want them to.
3072 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3073 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3086 * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
3087 installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.

3089 debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed.

3100 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3101 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
3102 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

3132 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3133 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3134 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3135 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3136 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3137 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3139 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3140 remove debian/files properly.
3141 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
3142 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
3143 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
3144 * Removed bogus menu file.

3160 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
3161 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
3162 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
3163 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

3191 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
3192 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
3193 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
3194 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
3195 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

3204 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
3205 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
3206 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
3207 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3208 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3209 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3210 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3211 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3212 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3214 passed any switches.

3226 large chunks in the process.
3227 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
3228 install many oddly named files it died on before.

3395 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3396 past week. Thanks, guys!
3398 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3399 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3400 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3401 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3402 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3403 would do in the same situation.
3404 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3405 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3407 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3409 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3410 permissions changed.
3411 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3412 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3413 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3414 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3415 files are treated identically.
3416 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

3429 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3430 use -X multiple times, too.

3559 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
3560 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
3561 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
3562 no packages use the old behavior.

3692 argument processor in perl.

3703 type directories. (#16933)
3704 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
3705 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
3706 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
3707 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
3708 are supported. (#16935)
3709 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

3723 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
3725 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
3726 version requirements in the shlibs file.
3727 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
3728 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
3729 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
3730 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

3734 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
3736 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
3737 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
3738 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
3740 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
3741 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
3742 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
3743 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3744 a given package, or -i or -a.
3745 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3746 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3747 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3748 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
3749 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
3750 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
3751 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
3752 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
3753 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
3755 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
3756 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
3757 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

3779 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
3780 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
3781 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

3807 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

3828 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
3829 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
3830 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
3831 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
3832 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
3833 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
3834 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

3910 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.

4009 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper

4044 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4045 is ready for general use.
4046 * Added man pages for all commands.
4047 * Multiple binary package support.
4048 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4049 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4050 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4052 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4053 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4054 auto-installed as parameters.
4055 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4057 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4060 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4061 the package build directory it is to act on.
4062 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4063 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4064 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
