10 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
11 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
12 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
13 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
14 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
15 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
16 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
17 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
18 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
19 it is an obsolete program.

106 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
107 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
108 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
109 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
110 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
112 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
113 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
114 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
116 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
118 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
119 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
120 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
121 should now be raised to severity important..

357 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
358 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
359 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
360 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
361 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
362 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
363 notice until v2 is complete.
364 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
365 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
366 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
367 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
368 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
369 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

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

598 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.

600 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
601 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
602 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
603 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
604 otherwise change the result at all.
606 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
607 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

627 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
629 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
630 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
631 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
632 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

671 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

725 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
726 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
727 I made some changes, though:
728 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
729 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
730 that is a clear violation of policy.
731 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
732 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
733 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
734 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
735 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
736 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
737 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
738 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
739 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
741 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

785 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

906 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.

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

1062 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 9 Jul 1999 13:07:49 -0700
1064 debhelper (2.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
1066 * dh_installinfo: fixed #SECTION# substitution.
1068 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:51:59 -0700
1070 debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1072 * At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. It takes a simple list of
1073 info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)
1075 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:04:48 -0700
1077 debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
1079 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
1080 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
1081 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
1083 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.
1085 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 10:46:03 -0700
1087 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
1089 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
1090 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
1091 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
1092 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

1096 debhelper (2.0.08) unstable; urgency=low
1098 * dh_*: redirect cd output to /den/null, because CD can actually output
1099 things if CDPATH is set.
1101 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 6 Jul 1999 10:14:00 -0700
1103 debhelper (2.0.07) unstable; urgency=low
1105 * Added dh_perl calls to example rules files.

1109 debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low
1111 * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
1112 seems to make sense for the transition.

1116 debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low
1118 * dh_clean: clean debian/tmp even if v2 is being used. If you're
1119 using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be

1124 debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low
1126 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
1127 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
1128 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)
1130 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 2 Jul 1999 11:22:00 -0700
1132 debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low
1134 * Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at
1135 that version. (Closes: #40589)
1137 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:41:12 -0700
1139 debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
1141 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
1142 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
1143 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
1144 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
1145 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...
1147 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:08:14 -0700
1149 debhelper (2.0.01) unstable; urgency=low
1151 * Actually include doc/v2 this time round.
1153 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:01:55 -0700
1155 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
1157 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
1158 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
1159 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
1160 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
1161 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
1162 * debhelper.1: documented this.
1163 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
1164 current compatability level is equal to that number.
1165 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
1166 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.
1167 * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatable with
1170 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:37:58 -0700
1172 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low
1174 * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2.
1175 * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes.
1176 * README: mention doc/v2
1177 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT
1178 * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files
1180 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:16:41 -0700
1182 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
1184 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
1185 be using this script RSN.
1187 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 11:44:05 -0700
1189 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
1191 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
1192 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
1193 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
1194 more than 1 init script.
1196 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:38:05 -0700
1198 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
1200 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
1201 failing if it was given absolute filenames.
1203 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700
1205 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
1207 * Changed perl version detection.
1208 * Changed call to find.
1210 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 24 Jun 1999 16:48:53 -0700
1212 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
1214 * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. dh_perl handles
1215 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying
1217 * I don't think dh_perl is going to be useful until the new version of

1222 debhelper (1.2.78) unstable; urgency=low
1224 * Really include dh_installpam.
1226 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:00:36 -0700
1228 debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low
1230 * dh_installpam: new program by Sean <shaleh@foo.livenet.net>
1231 * Wrote man page for same.
1233 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 11 Jun 1999 13:08:04 -0700
1235 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
1237 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
1238 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
1239 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.
1242 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 20:20:01 -0700
1244 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
1246 * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.
1249 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 14:42:12 -0700
1251 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
1253 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
1254 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
1255 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
1256 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the
1257 x bit was being set!
1259 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:14:27 -0700
1261 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
1263 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
1264 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
1265 well. (Closes: 38900)
1267 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:50:42 -0700
1269 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
1271 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
1272 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
1273 work on the man page (closes: #38898).
1275 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:16:57 -0700
1277 debhelper (1.2.71) unstable; urgency=low
1279 * Fixed a typo (closes: #38881)

1283 debhelper (1.2.70) unstable; urgency=low
1285 * dh_installmanpages: Properly quoted metacharacters in $dir in regexp.

1290 debhelper (1.2.69) unstable; urgency=low
1292 * Don't include Test.pm in the binary package.
1294 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999 19:29:27 -0700
1296 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
1298 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
1299 help from Julian Gilbey.
1300 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
1301 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
1302 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
1303 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
1304 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
1305 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
1306 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root

1311 debhelper (1.2.67) unstable; urgency=low
1313 * dh_installmodules: fixed type that made the program not work.

1317 debhelper (1.2.66) unstable; urgency=low
1319 * examples/rules.multi: dh_shlibdeps must be run before dh_gencontrol

1330 debhelper (1.2.64) unstable; urgency=low
1332 * dh_installmime: new command (#37093, #32684).

1336 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low
1338 * dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above. It
1339 actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now.
1341 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 2 May 1999 19:13:34 -0700
1343 debhelper (1.2.62) unstable; urgency=low
1345 * dh_installemacsen: added support for site-start files. Added --flavor
1346 and --number to control details of installation. (#36832)

1350 debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low
1352 * dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has
1353 somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45.

1357 debhelper (1.2.60) unstable; urgency=low
1359 * dh_installexamples.1: recycled docs fix.

1363 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low
1365 * dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where
1366 to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course.

1382 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low
1384 * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually
1385 exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and
1386 may be deleted. (#35845)
1388 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 10 Apr 1999 13:35:23 -0700
1390 debhelper (1.2.55) unstable; urgency=low
1392 * Various man page enhancements.

1398 debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low
1400 * dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160).
1401 * *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when
1402 debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page.

1406 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
1408 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
1409 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
1410 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
1411 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and
1413 * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new
1414 suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress

1425 debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low

1437 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low
1439 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of
1440 even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and
1441 modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102)

1451 debhelper (1.2.47) unstable; urgency=low

1479 debhelper (1.2.43) unstable; urgency=low
1481 * dh_compress.1: man page fixes (Closes: #33858).
1482 * dh_compress: now it can handle compressing arbitrary numbers of files,
1483 spawning gzip multiple times like xargs does, if necessary.
1485 * Dh_Lib.pm: added xargs() command.

1625 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

1652 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
1653 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
1654 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
1655 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

1658 suidregister actually supports it.
1659 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
1660 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

1673 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
1674 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

1676 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
1677 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
1678 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

1865 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
1866 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
1867 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
1868 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
1869 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
1870 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

2064 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
2065 at all for a long while.
2066 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
2067 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
2068 large chunks in the process.

2070 install many oddly named files it died on before.

2104 updating 27 man pages.
2105 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
2106 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

2235 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
2236 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
2237 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
2238 past week. Thanks, guys!
2240 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
2241 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
2242 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
2243 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
2244 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
2245 would do in the same situation.
2246 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
2247 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
2249 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
2251 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
2252 permissions changed.
2253 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
2254 some people enjoy changing root's name.
2255 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
2256 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
2257 files are treated identically.
2258 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
2259 * Minor man page fixes.
2260 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
2261 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
2262 --no-act is on. (#23054)

2268 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
2269 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
2270 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
2271 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
2272 use -X multiple times, too.
2273 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
2274 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

2280 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping

2295 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
2296 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
2297 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
2298 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
2299 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
2300 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

2302 shape if you're starting a new package.

2331 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
2332 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.

2334 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

2585 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
2586 a given package, or -i or -a.

2672 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
2673 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
2674 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
