3 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
4 package install. Closes: #415717
5 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
6 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
7 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
8 script and then remove the python files.
9 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
10 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
11 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
12 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
13 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
14 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
15 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
16 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
17 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
18 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

135 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
137 * Non-maintainer upload.
138 * Update of dh_python
139 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
140 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
141 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
142 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
143 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
144 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
145 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
146 specific python version. Closes: #373853
147 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
148 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
150 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
151 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
152 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
153 the not too-distant future).
154 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
155 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
156 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
157 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

529 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
530 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
531 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
532 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
533 * debhelper.1: Explicitly document that docs describe latest compat
534 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the
535 "Debhelper compatibility levels" section of debhelper.1. Closes: #336906

1854 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1855 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1856 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1857 dh_install, which ...
1858 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1859 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1860 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1861 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1862 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1863 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1864 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1865 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1866 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1867 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1868 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1869 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1870 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1871 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1872 other minor changes.
1873 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1874 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1875 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1876 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1877 course there's -X ..)
1878 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1879 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1882 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1883 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1961 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1963 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1964 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1965 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1966 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1967 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1968 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1969 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1970 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1971 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1972 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1973 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1974 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1975 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1976 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1977 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1978 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1980 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2015 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2016 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2017 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2018 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2019 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2020 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2021 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2022 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2023 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2199 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2200 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2201 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2202 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2203 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2204 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2205 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2206 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2207 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2208 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2209 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2211 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2233 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2234 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2235 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2236 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2237 program those options go to. So, for example,
2238 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2239 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2381 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2382 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2383 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2384 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2385 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2386 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2387 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2441 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2443 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2444 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2445 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2446 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2447 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2448 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2449 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2450 but is mildly deprecated.
2451 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2452 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2453 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2454 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2455 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2456 switching to statoverrides..
2457 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2458 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2459 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2460 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2461 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2462 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2464 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2465 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2466 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2467 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2468 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2469 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2470 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2471 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2472 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2474 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2475 variable names, pod man pages).
2476 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2477 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2478 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2479 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2480 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2481 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2482 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2551 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2552 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2553 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2554 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2555 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2556 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2557 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2558 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2559 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2560 it is an obsolete program.

2647 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2648 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2649 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2650 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2651 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2653 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2654 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2655 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2657 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2659 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2660 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2661 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2662 should now be raised to severity important..
2663 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2664 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2898 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2899 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2900 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2901 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2902 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2903 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2904 notice until v2 is complete.
2905 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2906 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2907 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2908 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2909 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2910 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2912 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3043 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3044 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3124 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3125 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3126 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3127 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3128 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3129 bits until all files have been registered.

3138 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3139 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3140 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3141 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3142 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3143 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3144 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3145 otherwise change the result at all.
3147 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3148 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3149 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3167 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3168 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3170 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3171 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3172 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3173 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3267 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3268 I made some changes, though:
3269 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3270 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3271 that is a clear violation of policy.
3272 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3273 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3274 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3275 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3276 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3277 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3278 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3279 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3280 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3282 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3324 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3325 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3326 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3327 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3328 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3329 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

3446 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3447 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3448 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3449 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3450 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3451 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3452 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3453 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3454 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3455 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3456 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3457 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3574 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

3778 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3779 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

3795 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3796 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4408 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4409 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4410 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4545 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4546 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4575 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4576 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4587 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4588 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4589 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4590 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4591 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4592 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4593 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4594 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4595 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4609 large chunks in the process.

4778 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4779 past week. Thanks, guys!
4781 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4782 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4783 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4784 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4785 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4786 would do in the same situation.
4787 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4788 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4790 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4792 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4793 permissions changed.
4794 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4795 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4796 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4797 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4798 files are treated identically.
4799 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4812 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4813 use -X multiple times, too.

5037 debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low
5039 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without
5040 actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would
5041 have done.) (#17598)

5057 debhelper (0.56) unstable; urgency=low
5059 * dh_compress: Applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@a2points.com>,
5060 to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

5064 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low
5066 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077
5067 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion,
5068 to some of the sample rules files. #17076

5072 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
5074 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
5075 argument processor in perl.
5076 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
5077 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
5078 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
5079 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

5085 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
5086 type directories. (#16933)
5087 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5088 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5089 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5090 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5091 are supported. (#16935)
5092 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5097 debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low
5099 * dh_compress: compress file belongs in debian/. It was looking in ./
5100 This has been broken since version 0.30.

5104 debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
5106 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
5108 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
5109 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5110 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5111 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5112 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
5113 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.
5115 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:15:01 -0500
5117 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
5119 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5120 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5121 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5123 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5124 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5125 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5126 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5127 a given package, or -i or -a.
5128 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5129 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5130 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5131 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5132 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5133 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5134 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5135 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5136 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5138 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5139 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5140 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5146 * dh_du: Fixed hardcoded debian/tmp.

5148 slowdown caused by using dpkg-parsechangelog - now it's only called by

5155 * dh_undocumented: exit with an error message if the man page specified
5156 does not have a section.

5160 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
5162 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5163 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5164 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
5165 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

5175 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
5177 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
5178 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
5179 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
5180 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
5181 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789
5182 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files,

5187 debhelper (0.32) unstable; urgency=low
5189 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
5190 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
5191 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
5192 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

5203 debhelper (0.30) unstable; urgency=low
5205 * dh_md5sumes, dh_installdirs, dh_compress: fixed assorted cd bugs.

5209 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
5211 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5212 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5213 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5214 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5215 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5216 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5217 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5236 * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
5237 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
5238 the dh_* programs (#15497).
5239 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

5259 of fileutils, install -p will not work (#14680)

5265 * dh_installdocs: Install README.debian as README.Debian (of course,
5266 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

5270 debhelper (0.21) unstable; urgency=low
5272 * dh_installinit: on removal, fixed how update-rc.d is called.

5276 debhelper (0.20) unstable; urgency=low

5289 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
5291 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5292 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5293 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5294 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5295 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5296 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5300 debhelper (0.17) unstable; urgency=low
5302 * Added dh_installdirs, automatically creates subdirectories (for
5303 compatability with debstd's debian/dirs file.
5304 * dh_lib: fixed problem with -P flag.

5338 debhelper (0.12) unstable; urgency=low

5345 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
5347 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5348 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5349 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5350 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5351 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5355 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5357 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5358 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5359 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5360 multiple binary packages.
5361 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5362 should rebuild them with this version.
5363 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5381 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5383 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5384 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5385 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5386 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5387 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5388 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5389 debian/README.debian.
5390 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5391 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5392 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5393 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5394 in a few situations.)

5420 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.

5425 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5427 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5428 is ready for general use.
5429 * Added man pages for all commands.
5430 * Multiple binary package support.
5431 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5432 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5433 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5435 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5436 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5437 auto-installed as parameters.
5438 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5440 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5443 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5444 the package build directory it is to act on.
5445 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5446 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5447 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
