190 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
191 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
193 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
194 that uses them. Affected options are:
195 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
196 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
197 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
198 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
199 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
200 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
201 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
202 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
203 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
204 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
205 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
206 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

319 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded

376 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs

892 specific python version. Closes: #373853
893 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
894 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
896 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
897 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the

2600 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2601 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2602 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2603 dh_install, which ...
2604 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2605 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2606 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2607 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2608 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2609 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2610 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2611 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2612 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2613 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2614 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2615 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2616 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2617 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2618 other minor changes.
2619 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2620 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2621 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2622 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2623 course there's -X ..)
2624 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2625 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2626 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2628 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2629 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2630 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2631 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2632 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2677 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2679 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2680 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2707 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2709 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2710 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2711 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2712 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2713 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2714 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2715 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2716 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2717 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2718 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2719 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2720 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2721 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2722 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2723 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2724 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2726 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2761 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2762 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2763 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2764 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2765 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2766 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2767 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2768 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2769 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3129 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3130 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3131 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3132 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3187 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3189 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3190 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3191 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3192 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3193 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3194 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3195 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3196 but is mildly deprecated.
3197 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3198 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3199 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3200 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3201 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3202 switching to statoverrides..
3203 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3204 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3205 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3206 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3207 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3208 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3210 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3211 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3212 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3213 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3214 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3215 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3216 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3217 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3218 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3220 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3221 variable names, pod man pages).
3222 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3223 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3224 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3225 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3226 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3227 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3228 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3300 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3301 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3394 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3397 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3399 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3400 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3401 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3644 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3645 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3646 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3647 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3648 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3649 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3650 notice until v2 is complete.
3651 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3652 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3653 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3654 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3655 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3656 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3658 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3659 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

3872 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3873 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3874 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3875 bits until all files have been registered.

4017 that is a clear violation of policy.
4018 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4019 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4020 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4021 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4022 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4023 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4024 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4025 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4026 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4028 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4195 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4196 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4197 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4198 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4199 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4200 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4201 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4202 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4203 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5152 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5153 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5154 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5155 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5156 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5157 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5197 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5198 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5199 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

5522 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5523 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5524 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5525 past week. Thanks, guys!
5527 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5528 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5529 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5530 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5531 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5532 would do in the same situation.
5533 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5534 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5536 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5538 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5539 permissions changed.
5540 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5541 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5542 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5543 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5544 files are treated identically.
5545 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5546 * Minor man page fixes.
5547 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5548 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5549 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5555 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
5556 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5557 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5558 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5559 use -X multiple times, too.
5560 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5561 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5582 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
5583 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
5584 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
5585 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5586 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5587 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
5588 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
5589 shape if you're starting a new package.

5618 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
5619 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
5620 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
5621 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

5687 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
5688 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
5689 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
5690 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
5691 no packages use the old behavior.

5834 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5835 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5836 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5837 are supported. (#16935)

5855 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5856 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5857 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5858 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

5866 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5870 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5871 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5872 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5873 a given package, or -i or -a.
5874 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5875 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5876 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5877 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5878 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5879 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5880 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5881 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5882 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5884 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5885 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

5959 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5960 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5961 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

6012 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

6037 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
6038 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6039 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6040 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6041 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6042 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6094 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.

6101 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6103 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6104 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6105 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6106 multiple binary packages.
6107 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6108 should rebuild them with this version.
6109 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6127 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6129 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6130 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6131 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6132 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6133 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6134 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6135 debian/README.debian.
6136 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6137 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6138 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6139 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6140 in a few situations.)

6171 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6173 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6174 is ready for general use.
6175 * Added man pages for all commands.
6176 * Multiple binary package support.
6177 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6178 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6179 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6181 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6182 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6183 auto-installed as parameters.
6184 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6186 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6189 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6190 the package build directory it is to act on.
6191 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6192 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6193 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
