1133 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1134 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1135 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1136 dh_install, which ...
1137 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1138 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1139 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1140 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1141 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1142 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1143 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1144 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1145 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1146 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1147 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1148 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1149 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1150 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1151 other minor changes.
1152 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1153 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1154 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1155 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1156 course there's -X ..)
1157 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1158 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1159 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1161 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1162 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1163 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1164 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1165 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1210 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1212 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1213 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1240 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1242 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1243 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1244 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1245 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1246 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1247 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1248 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1249 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1250 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1251 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1252 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1253 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1254 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1255 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1256 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1257 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1259 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1294 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1295 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1296 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1297 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1298 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1299 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1300 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1301 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1302 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1662 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1663 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1664 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1665 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1720 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1722 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1723 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1724 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1725 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1726 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1727 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1728 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1729 but is mildly deprecated.
1730 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1731 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1732 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1733 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1734 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1735 switching to statoverrides..
1736 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1737 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1738 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1739 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1740 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1741 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1743 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1744 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1745 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1746 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1747 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1748 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1749 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1750 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1751 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1753 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1754 variable names, pod man pages).
1755 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1756 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1757 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1758 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1759 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1760 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1761 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1927 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1933 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in

2177 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2178 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2179 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2180 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2181 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2182 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2183 notice until v2 is complete.
2184 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2185 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2186 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2187 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2188 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2189 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2191 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2192 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2193 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2405 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2406 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2407 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

2550 that is a clear violation of policy.
2551 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2552 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2553 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2554 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2555 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2556 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2557 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2558 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2559 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2561 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2728 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2729 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2730 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2731 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2732 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2733 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2734 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2735 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2736 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3685 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3686 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3687 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3688 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3689 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3690 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3729 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3730 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3731 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3732 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3733 things you don't want them to.

4053 debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
4055 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4056 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4057 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4058 past week. Thanks, guys!
4060 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4061 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4062 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4063 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4064 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4065 would do in the same situation.
4066 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4067 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4069 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4071 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4072 permissions changed.
4073 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4074 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4075 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4076 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4077 files are treated identically.
4078 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4079 * Minor man page fixes.
4080 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4081 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4082 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4086 debhelper (0.88) unstable; urgency=low
4088 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4089 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4090 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4091 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4092 use -X multiple times, too.
4093 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4094 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4100 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping
4101 elf binaries. This makes for smaller output files. This has always been
4102 broken in debhelper before! (#22395)

4109 messages in some cases, shouldn't actually change the result at all.

4113 debhelper (0.85) unstable; urgency=low
4115 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
4116 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4117 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4118 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4119 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4120 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
4121 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
4122 shape if you're starting a new package.

4126 debhelper (0.84) unstable; urgency=low

4129 an install target internally to move things into place in debian/tmp.

4135 * Generate symlinks in build stage of debian/rules. cvs cannot create them
4136 properly. Note that version 0.80 and 0.81 could not build some packages
4137 because of missing symlinks.

4149 * Moved under cvs (so I can fork a stable and an unstable version).
4150 * dh_movefiles: first move real files, then move symlinks. (#18220)
4151 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4152 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4153 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4154 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
4156 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

4218 debhelper (0.71) unstable; urgency=low
4220 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
4221 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4222 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4223 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4224 no packages use the old behavior.

4228 debhelper (0.70) unstable; urgency=low
4230 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
4231 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was
4232 gaining us anything, so let's remove it and save some disk space.

4259 * dh_movefiles: don't check for package names to see if files are being

4282 debian-policy that du control files are bad.
4283 * examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
4284 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.

4354 argument processor in perl.

4365 type directories. (#16933)
4366 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
4367 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4368 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4369 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4370 are supported. (#16935)
4371 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

4385 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
4387 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
4388 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4389 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4390 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4391 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
4392 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

4396 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4398 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4399 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4400 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4402 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4403 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4404 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4405 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4406 a given package, or -i or -a.
4407 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4408 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4409 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4410 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4411 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4412 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4413 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4414 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4415 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4417 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4418 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

4491 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4492 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4493 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4494 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

4545 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

4570 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
4571 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4572 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4573 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4574 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4575 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4627 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.

4634 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4636 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4637 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4638 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4639 multiple binary packages.
4640 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4641 should rebuild them with this version.
4642 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4660 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4662 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4663 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4664 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4665 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4666 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4667 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4668 debian/README.debian.
4669 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4670 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4671 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4672 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4673 in a few situations.)

4707 is ready for general use.
4708 * Added man pages for all commands.
4709 * Multiple binary package support.
4710 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4711 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4712 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4714 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4715 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4716 auto-installed as parameters.
4717 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4719 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4722 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4723 the package build directory it is to act on.
4724 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4725 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4726 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
