13 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
14 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
15 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
16 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
17 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

92 debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
94 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
95 changes are planned for that mode.
96 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
97 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
98 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
99 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
100 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
101 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
102 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
103 (genesis) still uses them.
104 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
105 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
106 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
107 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
108 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
109 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
110 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
111 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
112 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
113 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
114 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
115 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
116 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
117 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
118 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
119 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
120 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
121 commands. (See #570039)
122 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
124 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

169 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
171 * Typo. Closes: #571968
172 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
173 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
174 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
175 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
176 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
177 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change

544 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
545 contributed by Modestas Vainius
546 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
547 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
548 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
549 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
550 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
551 that support it. Closes: #480577
552 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
553 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
554 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
556 - Adds support for cmake.
557 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
558 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
560 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
562 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
563 that use them. The options are:
564 --sourcedir, --destdir
565 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
566 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
567 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
568 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
569 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1022 * dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933
1023 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
1024 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
1025 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
1026 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1027 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1028 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
1029 logging by dh_listpackages.

1058 This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
1059 lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
1061 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
1062 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
1063 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
1064 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
1065 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
1066 planned but not yet implemented.)

1070 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

1072 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
1073 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
1074 but not yet implemented.)

1076 recommended default, especially when using dh.

1078 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

1505 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
1506 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of

1509 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1510 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
1511 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
1512 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

1534 * Update of dh_python
1535 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1536 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1537 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1538 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1539 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1540 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1541 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1542 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1543 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1544 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1546 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1547 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1548 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1549 the not too-distant future).
1550 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1551 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1552 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1553 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

3103 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
3104 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the

3250 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3251 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3252 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3253 dh_install, which ...
3254 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3255 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3256 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3257 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3258 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3259 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3260 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3261 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3262 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3263 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3264 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3265 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3266 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3267 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3268 other minor changes.
3269 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3270 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3271 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3272 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3273 course there's -X ..)
3274 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3275 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3276 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3278 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3279 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3280 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3281 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3282 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3326 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3327 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3328 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3329 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3330 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3357 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3359 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3360 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3361 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3362 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3363 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3364 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3365 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3366 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3367 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3368 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3369 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3370 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3371 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3372 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3373 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3374 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3376 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3393 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3394 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3395 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3396 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3397 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

3411 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3412 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3413 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3414 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3415 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3416 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3417 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3418 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3419 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3593 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3595 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3596 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3597 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3598 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3599 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3600 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3601 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3602 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3603 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3604 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3605 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3606 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3607 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3627 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3628 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3629 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3630 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3631 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3632 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3633 program those options go to. So, for example,
3634 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3635 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3636 something complex. Closes: #89311

3776 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3777 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3778 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3779 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3780 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3781 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3782 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3783 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3839 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3840 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3841 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3842 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3843 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3844 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3845 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3846 but is mildly deprecated.
3847 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3848 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3849 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3850 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3851 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3852 switching to statoverrides..
3853 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3854 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3855 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3856 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3857 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3858 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3860 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3861 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3862 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3863 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3864 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3865 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3866 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3867 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3868 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3870 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3871 variable names, pod man pages).
3872 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3873 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3874 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3875 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3876 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3877 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3878 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4042 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4043 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4044 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4045 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4046 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4047 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4049 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4050 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4051 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4053 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4055 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4056 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4057 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4058 should now be raised to severity important..
4059 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4060 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4102 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4119 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
4120 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatibility.

4294 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4295 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4296 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4297 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4298 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4299 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4300 notice until v2 is complete.
4301 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4302 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4303 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4304 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4305 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4306 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4308 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4309 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4519 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4520 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4521 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4522 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4523 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4524 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4525 bits until all files have been registered.

4531 * dh_installmanpages:
4532 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
4533 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
4534 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4535 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4536 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4537 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4538 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4539 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4540 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4541 otherwise change the result at all.
4543 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4544 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4545 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
4546 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

4563 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4564 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4566 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4567 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4568 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4569 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4663 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4664 I made some changes, though:
4665 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4666 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4667 that is a clear violation of policy.
4668 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4669 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4670 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4671 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4672 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4673 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4674 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4675 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4676 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4678 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4722 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4723 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4724 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4845 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4846 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4847 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4848 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4849 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4850 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4851 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4852 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4853 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4863 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

5016 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
5017 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
5018 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
5020 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.

5024 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
5026 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
5027 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

5029 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

5063 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
5064 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base

5094 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
5095 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
5096 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5097 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5098 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
5099 * debhelper.1: documented this.
5100 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
5101 current compatibility level is equal to that number.

5128 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
5129 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
5130 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
5131 more than 1 init script.

5174 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5175 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
5176 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

5190 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
5191 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5192 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5238 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
5239 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
5240 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5242 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

5346 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

5552 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
5553 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
5554 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages
5555 built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt.

5561 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5562 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
5563 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
5564 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

5587 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
5589 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5590 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5591 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5592 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
5593 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
5594 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
5595 suidregister actually supports it.
5596 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5597 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5610 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
5611 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
5612 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
5613 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5614 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5615 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5616 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
5617 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5631 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
5632 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

5645 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
5646 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
5647 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
5648 effect, either. (#30118)

5660 * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that
5661 dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can
5662 also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps.

5676 that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly.

5771 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
5772 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
5773 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
5774 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

5782 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
5783 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5784 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5785 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5786 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5800 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5801 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5802 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5803 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5804 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5805 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5806 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5807 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5843 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5844 sections of shared libraries.
5845 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5846 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5847 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5848 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5849 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5850 things you don't want them to.

6174 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6175 past week. Thanks, guys!
6177 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6178 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6179 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6180 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6181 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6182 would do in the same situation.
6183 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6184 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6186 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6188 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6189 permissions changed.
6190 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6191 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6192 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6193 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6194 files are treated identically.
6195 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6208 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6209 use -X multiple times, too.
6210 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

6522 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6523 a given package, or -i or -a.
6524 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6525 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6610 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
