77 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
78 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
79 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
80 logging by dh_listpackages.

586 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
587 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
588 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
589 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
590 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
591 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
592 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
593 specific python version. Closes: #373853
594 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
595 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
597 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
598 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
599 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
600 the not too-distant future).
601 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
602 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

604 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

2301 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2302 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2303 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2304 dh_install, which ...
2305 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2306 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2307 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2308 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2309 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2310 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2311 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2312 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2313 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2314 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2315 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2316 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2317 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2318 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2319 other minor changes.
2320 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2321 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2322 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2323 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2324 course there's -X ..)
2325 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2326 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2327 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2329 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2330 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2331 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2332 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2333 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2378 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2380 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2381 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2408 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2410 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2411 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2412 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2413 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2414 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2415 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2416 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2417 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2418 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2419 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2420 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2421 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2422 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2423 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2424 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2425 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2427 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2445 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

2462 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2463 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2464 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2465 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2466 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2467 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2468 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2469 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2470 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2646 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2647 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2648 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2649 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2650 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2651 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2652 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2653 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2654 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2655 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2656 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2658 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2680 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2681 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2682 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2683 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2684 program those options go to. So, for example,
2685 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2686 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2828 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2829 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2830 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2831 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2832 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2833 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2890 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2891 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2892 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2893 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2894 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2895 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2896 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2897 but is mildly deprecated.
2898 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2899 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2900 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2901 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2902 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2903 switching to statoverrides..
2904 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2905 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2906 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2907 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2908 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2909 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2911 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2912 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2913 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2914 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2915 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2916 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2917 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2918 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2919 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2921 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2922 variable names, pod man pages).
2923 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2924 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2925 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2926 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2927 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2928 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2929 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3092 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3093 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3094 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3095 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3096 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3097 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3098 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3100 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3101 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3102 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3104 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3106 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3107 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3108 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3109 should now be raised to severity important..
3110 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3111 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3152 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3153 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3170 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3345 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3346 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3347 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3348 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3349 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3350 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3351 notice until v2 is complete.
3352 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3353 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3354 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3355 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3356 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3357 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3359 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3570 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3571 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3572 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3573 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3574 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3575 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3576 bits until all files have been registered.

3585 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3586 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3587 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3588 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3589 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3590 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3591 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3592 otherwise change the result at all.
3594 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3595 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3596 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3617 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3618 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3619 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3620 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3714 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3715 I made some changes, though:
3716 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3717 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3718 that is a clear violation of policy.
3719 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3720 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3721 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3722 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3723 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3724 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3725 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3726 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3727 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3729 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3771 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3772 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3773 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3774 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3775 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3893 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3894 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3895 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3896 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3897 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3898 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3899 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3900 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3901 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3902 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3903 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3904 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3914 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3915 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3916 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that

3919 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4078 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4080 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

4146 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
4147 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4148 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4149 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
4150 * debhelper.1: documented this.
4151 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
4152 current compatability level is equal to that number.
4153 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.

4225 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4226 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4227 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4242 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4243 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4291 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4293 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4855 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4856 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4857 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5031 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
5032 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5033 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5034 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5035 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5036 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5037 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5038 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5039 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5040 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5041 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5042 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5043 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5044 passed any switches.

5055 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5056 large chunks in the process.
5057 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5058 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5225 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5226 past week. Thanks, guys!
5228 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5229 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5230 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5231 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5232 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5233 would do in the same situation.
5234 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5235 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5237 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5239 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5240 permissions changed.
5241 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5242 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5243 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5244 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5245 files are treated identically.
5246 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5247 * Minor man page fixes.
5248 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5259 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5260 use -X multiple times, too.
5261 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

5521 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
5522 argument processor in perl.
5523 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
5524 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
5525 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
5526 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

5532 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
5533 type directories. (#16933)
5534 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5535 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5536 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5537 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5538 are supported. (#16935)
5539 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5556 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5557 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5558 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5559 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

5566 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5567 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5570 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5571 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5572 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5573 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5574 a given package, or -i or -a.
5575 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5576 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5577 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5578 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5579 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5580 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5581 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5582 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5586 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5587 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5610 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5658 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5659 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5660 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5661 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5662 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5663 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5664 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5833 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5834 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5835 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5836 debian/README.debian.

5838 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5839 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5840 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5841 in a few situations.)

5887 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5890 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5891 the package build directory it is to act on.
5892 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5893 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
