1 debhelper (7.2.0) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
4 for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
5 (Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.)
6 * dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
7 eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
9 * Remove rules.simple example, there's no need to use explcit targets
11 * dh: Fix typo. Closes: #509754
12 * debhelper.pod: Fix typo. Closes: #510180
13 * dh_gconf: Support mandatory settings. Closes: #513923
14 * dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
15 which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit
16 rules (see bug #509756).
17 * Improve error messages when child commands fail.
18 * Depend on dpkg-dev 1.14.19, the first to support Package-Type
19 fields in dpkg-gencontrol.
20 * dh_gencontrol: No longer need to generate the udeb filename
21 when calling dpkg-gencontrol.
22 * dh_gencontrol: Do not need to tell dpkg-gencontol not to
23 include the Homepage field in udebs (fixed in dpkg-dev 1.14.17).

29 * dh_install(1): Order options alphabetically. Closes:# 503896
30 * Fix some docs that refered to --srcdir rather than --sourcedir.
32 * Add Vcs-Browser field. Closes: #507804
33 * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
34 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
35 to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
37 (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
38 warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)

44 * dh_installchangelogs: Fall back to looking for changelog files ending
45 with ".txt". Closes: #498460
46 * dh_gencontrol: Ensure misc:Depends is set in substvars to avoid dpkg
47 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
48 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
49 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
50 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
52 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
53 that uses them. Affected options are:
54 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
55 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
56 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
57 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
58 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
59 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
60 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
61 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
62 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
63 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
64 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
65 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

106 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the

108 debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any

145 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
146 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded

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

501 * Note that as a transitional measure, dh_icons will currently only update
502 existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is
503 updating the icon caches, this will be changed. See #329460 for the full

557 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
558 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
560 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
561 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
562 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

566 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
567 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
568 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

577 package install. Closes: #415717
578 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
579 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
580 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
581 script and then remove the python files.
582 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
583 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
584 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
585 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
586 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
587 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
588 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
589 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
590 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
591 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

712 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
713 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

715 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
716 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
717 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
718 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
719 specific python version. Closes: #373853
720 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
721 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
723 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
724 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
725 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
726 the not too-distant future).
727 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
728 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1105 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2427 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2428 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2429 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2430 dh_install, which ...
2431 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2432 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2433 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2434 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2435 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2436 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2437 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2438 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2439 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2440 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2441 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2442 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2443 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2444 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2445 other minor changes.
2446 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2447 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2448 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2449 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2450 course there's -X ..)
2451 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2452 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2453 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2455 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2456 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2457 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2458 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2459 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2503 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2504 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2505 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2506 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2507 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2534 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2536 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2537 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2538 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2539 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2540 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2541 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2542 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2543 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2544 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2545 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2546 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2547 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2548 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2549 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2550 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2551 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2553 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2586 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2588 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2589 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2590 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2591 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2592 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2593 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2594 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2595 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2596 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2780 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2781 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

2808 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2809 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever

3014 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3016 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3017 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3018 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3019 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3020 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3021 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3022 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3023 but is mildly deprecated.
3024 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3025 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3026 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3027 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3028 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3029 switching to statoverrides..
3030 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3031 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3032 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3033 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3034 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3035 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3037 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3038 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3039 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3040 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3041 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3042 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3043 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3044 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3045 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3047 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3048 variable names, pod man pages).
3049 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3050 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3051 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3052 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3053 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3054 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3055 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3127 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3128 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3129 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3130 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3131 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3132 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

3221 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3222 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3223 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3224 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3226 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3227 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3228 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3230 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3232 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3233 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3234 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3471 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3472 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3473 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3474 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3475 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3476 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3477 notice until v2 is complete.
3478 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3479 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3480 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3481 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3482 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3483 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3614 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3615 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3616 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3699 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3700 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3701 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3702 bits until all files have been registered.

3712 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3713 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3714 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3716 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3717 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

3720 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3721 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3840 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3841 I made some changes, though:
3842 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3843 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3844 that is a clear violation of policy.
3845 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3846 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3847 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3848 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3849 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3850 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3851 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3852 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3853 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3855 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4021 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4022 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4023 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4024 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4025 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4026 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4027 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4028 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4029 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4030 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4036 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4037 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4038 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4040 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4041 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4042 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4043 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4044 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4045 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4047 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4048 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4981 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4982 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4983 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5025 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5026 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5027 things you don't want them to.
5028 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5029 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5090 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5091 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5092 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5351 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5352 past week. Thanks, guys!
5354 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5355 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5356 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5357 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5358 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5359 would do in the same situation.

5361 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

5365 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5366 permissions changed.

5368 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5369 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5370 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5371 files are treated identically.

5699 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5700 a given package, or -i or -a.
5701 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5702 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5703 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5704 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5706 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6013 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6016 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6017 the package build directory it is to act on.
6018 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6019 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6020 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
