114 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
115 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
116 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
117 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
118 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
119 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
120 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
121 specific python version. Closes: #373853
122 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
123 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
125 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
126 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
127 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
128 the not too-distant future).
129 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
130 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1829 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1830 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1831 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1832 dh_install, which ...
1833 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1834 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1835 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1836 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1837 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1838 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1839 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1840 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1841 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1842 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1843 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1844 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1845 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1846 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1847 other minor changes.
1848 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1849 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1850 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1851 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1852 course there's -X ..)
1853 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1854 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1855 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1857 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1858 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1859 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1860 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1861 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1936 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1938 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1939 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1940 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1941 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1942 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1943 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1944 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1945 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1946 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1947 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1948 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1949 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1950 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1951 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1952 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1953 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1955 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1990 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1991 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1992 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1993 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1994 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1995 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1996 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1997 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1998 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2174 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2175 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2176 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2177 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2178 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2179 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2180 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2181 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2182 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2183 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2184 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2186 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2208 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2209 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2210 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2211 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2212 program those options go to. So, for example,
2213 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2214 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2356 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2357 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2358 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2359 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2360 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2361 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2362 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2416 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2418 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2419 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2420 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2421 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2422 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2423 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2424 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2425 but is mildly deprecated.
2426 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2427 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2428 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2429 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2430 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2431 switching to statoverrides..
2432 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2433 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2434 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2435 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2436 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2437 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2439 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2440 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2441 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2442 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2443 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2444 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2445 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2446 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2447 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2449 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2450 variable names, pod man pages).
2451 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2452 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2453 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2454 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2455 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2456 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2457 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2620 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2621 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2622 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2623 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2624 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2625 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2626 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2628 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2629 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2630 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2632 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2634 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2635 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2636 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2637 should now be raised to severity important..
2638 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2639 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2871 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2873 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2874 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2875 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2876 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2877 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2878 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2879 notice until v2 is complete.
2880 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2881 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2882 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2883 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2884 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2885 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2887 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2888 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2889 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3098 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3099 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3100 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3101 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3102 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3103 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3104 bits until all files have been registered.

3113 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3114 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3115 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3116 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3117 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3118 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3119 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3120 otherwise change the result at all.
3122 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3123 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3124 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3142 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3143 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3145 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3146 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3147 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3148 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3242 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3243 I made some changes, though:
3244 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3245 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3246 that is a clear violation of policy.
3247 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3248 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3249 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3250 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3251 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3252 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3253 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3254 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3255 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3257 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3301 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3302 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3303 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3421 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3422 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3423 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3424 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3425 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3426 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3427 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3428 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3429 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3430 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3431 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3432 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3442 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3444 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that

3447 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3676 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3677 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3770 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3771 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4383 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4384 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4385 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4560 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
4561 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4562 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4563 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4564 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4565 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4566 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4567 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4568 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4569 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4570 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4571 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4572 passed any switches.

4583 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4584 large chunks in the process.

4753 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4754 past week. Thanks, guys!
4756 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4757 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4758 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4759 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4760 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4761 would do in the same situation.
4762 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4763 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4765 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4767 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4768 permissions changed.
4769 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4770 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4771 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4772 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4773 files are treated identically.
4774 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4787 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4788 use -X multiple times, too.
4789 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

5065 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5066 are supported. (#16935)

5099 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5100 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5101 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5102 a given package, or -i or -a.
5103 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5104 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5105 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5106 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5107 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5108 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5110 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5189 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5190 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
