16 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
17 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
18 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
19 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
20 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
21 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
22 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

172 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
173 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
174 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
175 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
176 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1498 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1499 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1500 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1501 dh_install, which ...
1502 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1503 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1504 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1505 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1506 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1507 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1508 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1509 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1510 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1511 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1512 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1513 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1514 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1515 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1516 other minor changes.
1517 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1518 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1519 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1520 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1521 course there's -X ..)
1522 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1523 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1526 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1527 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1528 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1529 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

1572 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
1574 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1575 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1576 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1577 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1578 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
1580 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
1581 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

1605 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1607 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1608 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1609 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1610 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1611 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1612 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1613 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1614 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1615 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1616 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1617 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1618 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1619 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1620 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1621 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1622 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1624 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1638 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
1640 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
1641 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1642 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1643 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1644 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1645 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
1646 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

1657 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1659 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1660 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1661 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1662 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1663 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1664 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1665 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1666 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1667 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1845 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated

1847 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1848 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1849 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1850 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1851 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1852 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1853 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1879 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1880 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1881 program those options go to. So, for example,
1882 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1883 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2085 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2087 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2088 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2089 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2090 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2091 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2092 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2093 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2094 but is mildly deprecated.
2095 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2096 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2097 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2098 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2099 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2100 switching to statoverrides..
2101 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2102 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2103 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2104 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2105 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2106 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2108 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2109 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2110 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2111 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2112 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2113 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2114 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2115 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2116 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2118 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2119 variable names, pod man pages).
2120 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2121 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2122 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2123 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2124 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2125 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2126 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2198 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2199 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2200 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2201 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2202 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2203 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

2292 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2293 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2294 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2295 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2297 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2298 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2299 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2301 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2303 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2304 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2305 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2306 should now be raised to severity important..

2349 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2350 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2545 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2546 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2547 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2548 notice until v2 is complete.
2549 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2550 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2551 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2552 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2553 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2554 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2556 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2557 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2558 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2559 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2681 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2683 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2684 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2685 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2686 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2687 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2768 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2769 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2770 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2771 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2772 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2773 bits until all files have been registered.

2782 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2783 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2784 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2785 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2786 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2787 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2788 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2789 otherwise change the result at all.
2791 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2792 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2793 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2912 I made some changes, though:
2913 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2914 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2915 that is a clear violation of policy.
2916 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2917 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2918 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2919 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2920 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2921 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2922 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2923 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2924 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2926 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3089 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3090 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3091 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3092 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3093 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3094 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3095 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3096 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3097 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3098 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3099 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3100 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3101 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3107 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3108 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3109 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3111 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3112 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3113 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3114 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3115 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3116 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3118 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3119 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3173 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3174 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

4050 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to

4052 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4053 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if

4096 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4097 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

4422 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4423 past week. Thanks, guys!
4425 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4426 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4427 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4428 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4429 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4430 would do in the same situation.

4441 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4442 files are treated identically.

4770 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4771 a given package, or -i or -a.
4772 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4773 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4777 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5069 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low

5073 * Added man pages for all commands.
5074 * Multiple binary package support.
5075 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5076 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5077 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5079 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5080 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5081 auto-installed as parameters.
5082 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5084 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5087 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5088 the package build directory it is to act on.
5089 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5090 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5091 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
