47 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
48 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
49 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
50 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
52 * Typo. Closes: #571968
53 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
54 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
55 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
56 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
57 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
58 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
59 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

94 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
95 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
96 options that they do not support.
97 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
98 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
99 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

178 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
179 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
180 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
181 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
182 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
183 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
184 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
185 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
186 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
187 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.

265 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
266 flag with arch all/any packages.
267 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users

431 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
432 that support it. Closes: #480577
433 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
434 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
435 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
437 - Adds support for cmake.
438 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
439 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
441 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
443 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
444 that use them. The options are:
445 --sourcedir, --destdir
446 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
447 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
448 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
449 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
450 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

518 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
519 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
520 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
521 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

736 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
737 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1261 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1262 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1264 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1265 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

1286 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1287 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1288 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1289 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1290 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1291 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1293 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1294 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1295 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1422 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1423 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1424 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1425 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1427 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1428 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1429 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3131 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3132 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3133 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3134 dh_install, which ...
3135 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3136 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3137 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3138 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3139 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3140 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3141 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3142 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3143 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3144 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3145 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3146 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3147 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3148 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3149 other minor changes.
3150 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3151 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3152 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3153 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3154 course there's -X ..)
3155 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3156 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3157 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3159 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3160 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3161 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3162 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3163 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3208 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3210 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3211 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3238 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3240 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3241 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3242 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3243 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3244 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3245 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3246 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3247 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3248 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3249 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3250 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3251 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3252 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3253 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3254 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3255 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3257 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3275 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3276 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3277 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

3292 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3293 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3294 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3295 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3296 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3297 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3298 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3299 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3300 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3508 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3509 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3510 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3511 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3512 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3513 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3514 program those options go to. So, for example,
3515 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3516 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3517 something complex. Closes: #89311

3658 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3659 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3660 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3661 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3662 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3663 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3720 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3721 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3722 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3723 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3724 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3725 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3726 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3727 but is mildly deprecated.
3728 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3729 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3730 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3731 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3732 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3733 switching to statoverrides..
3734 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3735 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3736 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3737 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3738 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3739 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3741 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3742 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3743 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3744 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3745 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3746 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3747 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3748 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3749 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3751 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3752 variable names, pod man pages).
3753 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3754 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3755 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3756 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3757 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3758 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3759 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3925 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3928 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3930 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3931 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3932 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3996 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3997 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3998 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3999 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
4000 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
4001 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatibility.

4175 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4176 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4177 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4178 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4179 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4180 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4181 notice until v2 is complete.
4182 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4183 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4184 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4185 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4186 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4187 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4189 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4190 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4191 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4192 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4313 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4314 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4316 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4317 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4318 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4319 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4403 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4404 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4405 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4406 bits until all files have been registered.

4416 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4417 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4418 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4419 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4420 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4421 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4422 otherwise change the result at all.
4424 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4425 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4543 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4544 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4545 I made some changes, though:
4546 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4547 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4548 that is a clear violation of policy.
4549 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4550 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4551 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4552 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4553 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4554 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4555 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4556 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4557 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4559 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4723 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4724 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4725 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4726 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4727 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4728 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4729 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4730 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4731 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4732 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4733 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4734 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4744 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4745 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4746 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4747 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4748 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4749 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5685 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5686 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5687 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6053 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6054 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6055 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6056 past week. Thanks, guys!
6058 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6059 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6060 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6061 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6062 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6063 would do in the same situation.
6064 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6065 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6067 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6069 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6070 permissions changed.
6071 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6072 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6073 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6074 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6075 files are treated identically.
6076 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6078 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6089 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6090 use -X multiple times, too.

6491 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6492 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6493 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6494 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6570 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6571 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6572 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6573 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6634 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6635 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6636 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6637 multiple binary packages.
6638 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6639 should rebuild them with this version.

6660 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6661 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6662 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6663 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6664 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6665 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6666 debian/README.debian.
6667 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6668 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6669 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6670 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6671 in a few situations.)

6707 * Multiple binary package support.
6708 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,

6710 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6712 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6713 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6714 auto-installed as parameters.
6715 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6717 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6720 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6721 the package build directory it is to act on.
6722 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6723 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6724 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
