1019 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1020 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1021 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1022 dh_install, which ...
1023 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1024 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1025 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1026 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1027 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1028 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1029 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1030 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1031 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1032 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1033 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1034 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1035 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1036 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1037 other minor changes.
1038 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1039 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1040 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1041 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1042 course there's -X ..)
1043 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1044 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1098 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1126 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1128 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1129 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1130 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1131 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1132 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1133 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1134 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1135 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1136 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1137 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1138 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1139 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1140 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1141 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1142 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1143 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1145 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1180 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1181 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1182 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1183 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1184 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1185 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1186 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1187 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1372 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1373 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

1400 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1401 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever

1403 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1542 * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture.
1543 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
1544 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
1545 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1546 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1547 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1548 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1549 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1550 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1551 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1552 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1553 Closes: #88464, #77743
1554 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
1555 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
1556 us to deal with that gracefully.

1606 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1608 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1609 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1610 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1611 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1612 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1613 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1614 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1615 but is mildly deprecated.
1616 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1617 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1618 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1619 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1620 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1621 switching to statoverrides..
1622 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1623 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1624 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1625 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1626 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1627 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1629 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1630 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1631 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1632 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1633 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1634 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1635 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1636 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1637 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1639 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1640 variable names, pod man pages).
1641 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1642 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1643 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1644 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1645 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1646 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1647 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1719 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1720 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1813 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1814 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1815 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1816 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1818 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1819 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1820 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1822 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

1825 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1826 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2061 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2063 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2064 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2065 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2066 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2067 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2068 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2069 notice until v2 is complete.
2070 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2071 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2072 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2073 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2074 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2075 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2077 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2078 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2079 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2080 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2201 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2202 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2204 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2205 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2206 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2207 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2208 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2290 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2291 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2292 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2293 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2294 bits until all files have been registered.

2304 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2305 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2306 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2307 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2308 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2309 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2310 otherwise change the result at all.
2312 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2313 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2314 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2335 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2336 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to

2433 I made some changes, though:
2434 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2435 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2436 that is a clear violation of policy.
2437 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2438 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2439 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2440 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2441 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2442 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2443 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2444 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2445 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2447 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2610 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2611 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2612 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2613 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2614 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2615 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2616 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2617 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2618 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2619 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2620 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2621 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2622 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2629 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2630 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2632 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2633 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2634 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2635 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2636 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2637 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3551 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3552 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3553 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3554 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3555 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3568 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3569 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3570 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3571 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3572 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3573 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3574 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3575 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3576 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3612 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3613 sections of shared libraries.

3615 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3616 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3617 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3618 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3619 things you don't want them to.

3680 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3681 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3682 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3683 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3684 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3685 I apologize for the inconvenience.

3688 remove debian/files properly.

3758 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3759 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3760 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3947 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3948 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3949 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3950 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3951 would do in the same situation.

4289 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4290 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4291 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4292 a given package, or -i or -a.
4293 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4294 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4295 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4296 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4297 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4298 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4299 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4300 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4379 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',

4532 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
4534 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.

4544 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 17 Oct 1997 14:18:26 -0400
4546 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4548 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4549 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4550 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4551 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4552 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4553 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4554 debian/README.debian.
4555 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4556 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4557 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4558 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4559 in a few situations.)

4590 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low

4593 is ready for general use.
4594 * Added man pages for all commands.
4595 * Multiple binary package support.
4596 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4597 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4598 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4600 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4601 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4602 auto-installed as parameters.
4603 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4605 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4608 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4609 the package build directory it is to act on.
4610 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4611 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4612 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
