73 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
74 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
75 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
76 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
77 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1399 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1400 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1401 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1402 dh_install, which ...
1403 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1404 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1405 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1406 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1407 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1408 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1409 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1410 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1411 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1412 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1413 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1414 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1415 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1416 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1417 other minor changes.
1418 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1419 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1420 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1421 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1422 course there's -X ..)
1423 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1424 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1425 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1427 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1428 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1429 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1430 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1431 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1475 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1476 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1477 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1478 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1479 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1506 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1508 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1509 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1510 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1511 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1512 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1513 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1514 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1515 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1516 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1517 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1518 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1519 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1520 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1521 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1522 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1523 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1525 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1542 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1543 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1544 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1545 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1558 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1560 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1561 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1562 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1563 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1564 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1565 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1566 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1567 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1568 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
1569 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
1570 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.

1744 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1745 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1746 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1747 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1748 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1749 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1750 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1751 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1752 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1753 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1754 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1756 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1776 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1777 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1778 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1779 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1780 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1781 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1782 program those options go to. So, for example,
1783 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1784 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1785 something complex. Closes: #89311

1926 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1927 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1928 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1929 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1930 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1931 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1932 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1986 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1988 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1989 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1990 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1991 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1992 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1993 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1994 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1995 but is mildly deprecated.
1996 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1997 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1998 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1999 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2000 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2001 switching to statoverrides..
2002 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2003 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2004 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2005 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2006 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2007 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2009 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2010 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2011 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2012 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2013 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2014 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2015 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2016 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2017 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2019 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2020 variable names, pod man pages).
2021 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2022 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2023 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2024 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2025 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2026 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2027 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2031 debhelper (2.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
2033 * Fixed a stupid typo in dh_suidregister, Closes: #85110

2037 debhelper (2.2.20) unstable; urgency=low
2039 * dh_installinit -r: stop init script in prerm on package removal,
2042 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 5 Feb 2001 10:06:31 -0800
2044 debhelper (2.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
2046 * dh_shlibdeps -l can handle relative paths now. Patch from Colin Watson
2047 <cjw44@flatline.org.uk>, Closes: #84408
2049 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Feb 2001 13:35:39 -0800
2051 debhelper (2.2.18) unstable; urgency=medium
2053 * Added a suggests to debconf-utils, Closes: #83643
2054 I may chenge this to a dependancy at some point in the future,
2055 since one debconf command needs the package to work.
2057 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 30 Jan 2001 22:39:54 -0800
2059 debhelper (2.2.17) unstable; urgency=medium
2061 * dh_installdebconf: marge in templates with a .ll_LL extention,
2062 they were previously ignored.
2064 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 29 Jan 2001 13:05:21 -0800
2066 debhelper (2.2.16) unstable; urgency=medium
2068 * Bah, reverted that last change. It isn't useful because
2069 dpkg-buildpackage reads the real control file and gets confused.
2071 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 28 Jan 2001 01:47:46 -0800
2073 debhelper (2.2.15) unstable; urgency=medium
2075 * Added the ability to make debhelper read a different file than
2076 debian/control as the control file. This is very useful for various and
2077 sundry things, all Evil, most involving kernel packages.

2081 debhelper (2.2.14) unstable; urgency=medium
2083 * Corrected globbing issue with dh_movefiles in v3 mode. Closes: #81431

2087 debhelper (2.2.13) unstable; urgency=medium
2089 * Fixed a man page typo, Closes: #82371:
2090 * Added note to dh_strip man page, Closes: #82220

2094 debhelper (2.2.12) unstable; urgency=medium
2096 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2097 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2098 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2099 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2100 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2101 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2102 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2103 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2104 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2105 it is an obsolete program.

2127 debhelper (2.2.8) unstable; urgency=medium
2129 * dh_installwm: Moved update-alternatives --remove call to prerm,
2131 * ALso guarded all update-alternatives --remove calls.

2149 * Oops, it was not expanding wildcard when it should.

2153 debhelper (2.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
2155 * dh_movefiles: added error message on file not found

2159 debhelper (2.2.3) unstable; urgency=low
2161 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
2162 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
2163 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
2164 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain
2165 files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just
2166 to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249

2170 debhelper (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
2172 * dh_makeshlibs: corrected the evil db3-regex so it doesn't misfire on
2173 data like "debian/libruby/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i486-linux/etc.so".
2176 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 27 Nov 2000 12:21:53 -0800
2178 debhelper (2.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
2180 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
2181 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
2182 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
2183 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
2184 backwards-compatability.

2188 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2190 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2191 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2192 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2193 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2194 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2195 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2196 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2198 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2199 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2200 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2202 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2204 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2205 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2206 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2207 should now be raised to severity important..
2208 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2209 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2213 debhelper (2.1.28) unstable; urgency=low
2215 * Ok, fine, I'll make debhelper depend on lynx for the one or two
2216 packages that have html changelogs. But you'll be sorry...

2221 debhelper (2.1.27) unstable; urgency=low
2223 * Typo, Closes: #77441
2225 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 19 Nov 2000 13:23:30 -0800
2227 debhelper (2.1.26) unstable; urgency=low
2229 * Completed the fix from the last version.
2231 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 15 Nov 2000 20:39:25 -0800
2233 debhelper (2.1.25) unstable; urgency=low
2235 * Ok, I tihnk we have a db3 fix that will really work now.
2237 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 12 Nov 2000 13:29:59 -0800
2239 debhelper (2.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
2241 * I retract 2.1.23, the hack doesn't help make dpkg-shlibdeps work; db3
2244 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 12 Nov 2000 13:29:57 -0800
2246 debhelper (2.1.23) unstable; urgency=low
2248 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2249 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2250 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2251 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2252 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.
2254 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 11 Nov 2000 17:24:58 -0800
2256 debhelper (2.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
2258 * Fixed dh_perl to work with perl 5.6, Closes: #76508
2260 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 7 Nov 2000 15:56:54 -0800
2262 debhelper (2.1.21) unstable; urgency=low
2264 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2265 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2266 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2267 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2268 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2269 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.
2270 * dh_suidregister will be deprecated soon -- dpkg-statoverride is a
2273 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 6 Nov 2000 15:14:49 -0800
2275 debhelper (2.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
2277 * dh_suidregister: do not unregister on purge, since it will have already
2278 been unregistered then, and a warning will result.
2280 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 5 Nov 2000 17:02:50 -0800
2282 debhelper (2.1.19) unstable; urgency=low
2284 * dh_builddeb: Ok, it is cosmetic, but it annoyed me.
2286 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 5 Nov 2000 16:20:46 -0800
2288 debhelper (2.1.18) unstable; urgency=low
2290 * dh_builddeb: added a --filename option to specify the output filename.
2291 This is intended to be used when building .udebs for the debian
2294 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 28 Oct 2000 11:41:20 -0700
2296 debhelper (2.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
2298 * dh_movefiles.1: well I thought it was quite obvious why it always used
2299 debian/tmp, but it's a faq. Added some explanation. By the way, since
2300 there now exists a documented way to use dh_movefiles that does not
2301 have problems with empty directories that get left behind and so on, I
2302 think this Closes: #17111, #51985
2304 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 27 Oct 2000 23:07:42 -0700
2306 debhelper (2.1.16) unstable; urgency=low
2308 * dh_movefiles: fixed a regexp quoting problem with --sourcedir.
2310 * Whoops, I think I overwrote bod's NMU with 2.2.15. Let's merge those
2313 debhelper (2.1.14-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
2315 * Non-maintainer upload (thanks Joey).
2316 * dh_installchangelogs, dh_installdocs: allow dangling symlinks for
2317 $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE (useful for multi-binary packages).
2320 -- Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> Fri, 20 Oct 2000 18:11:59 +1100
2322 I also added some documentation to debhelper.1 about this, and removed
2323 the TODO entry about it.
2325 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 23 Oct 2000 15:14:49 -0700
2327 debhelper (2.1.15) unstable; urgency=low
2329 * dh_installwm: patched a path in some backwards compatability code.
2332 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 23 Oct 2000 10:13:44 -0700
2334 debhelper (2.1.14) unstable; urgency=low
2336 * Rats, the previous change makes duplicate lines be created in the
2337 shlibs file, and lintian conplains. Added some hackery that should
2338 prevent that. Closes: #73052
2340 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 3 Oct 2000 12:32:22 -0700
2342 debhelper (2.1.13) unstable; urgency=low
2344 * Typo, Closes: #72932
2345 * dh_makeshlibs: follow symlinks to files when looking for files that are
2346 shared libraries. This allows it to catch files like
2347 "liballeg-3.9.33.so" that are not in the *.so.* form it looks for, but
2348 that doe have links to them that are in the right form. Closes: #72938

2365 debhelper (2.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
2367 * Modified to allow no spaces between control file field name and value
2368 (this appears to be logal).
2370 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 19 Sep 2000 23:13:17 -0700
2372 debhelper (2.1.9) unstable; urgency=low
2374 * dh_installmodules: corrected the code added to maintainer scripts so it
2375 does not call depmod -a. update-modules (which it always called)_
2376 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
2377 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular
2378 kernels, and should be rebuilt. Closes: #71841
2380 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 17 Sep 2000 14:40:45 -0700
2382 debhelper (2.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
2384 * Fixed a stupid typo. Closes: #69750

2388 debhelper (2.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
2390 * debian/package.filename.arch is now checked for first, before
2391 debian/package.filename. Closes: #69453
2392 * Added a section to debhelper(1) about files in debian/ used by
2393 debhelper, which documents this. Removed scattered references to
2394 debian/filename from all over the man pages.
2396 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 20 Aug 2000 18:06:52 -0700
2398 debhelper (2.1.6) unstable; urgency=low
2400 * dh_strip: now knows about the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip thing.

2404 debhelper (2.1.5) unstable; urgency=low
2406 * dh_installxfonts: corrected a problem during package removal that was
2407 silently neglecting to remove the fonts.dir/alias files.

2411 debhelper (2.1.4) unstable; urgency=low
2413 * Whoops, I forgot to add v3 to cvs, so it was missing from a few
2416 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 4 Aug 2000 14:27:46 -0700
2418 debhelper (2.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
2420 * dh_shlibdeps: if it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it now prints out a line
2421 showing it is doing that when in verbose mode.
2422 * examples/rules.multi: don't use DH_OPTIONS hack. It's too confusing.
2423 rules.multi2 still uses it, but it has comments explaining the caveats
2426 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 21 Jul 2000 13:53:02 -0700
2428 debhelper (2.1.2) unstable; urgency=low
2430 * Minor man page updates as Overfiend struggles with debhelperizing X

2435 debhelper (2.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
2437 * Never refer to root, always uid/gid "0". Closes: #67508
2439 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 20 Jul 2000 16:56:24 -0700
2441 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2443 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2444 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2445 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2446 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2447 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2448 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2449 notice until v2 is complete.
2450 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2451 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2452 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2453 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2454 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2455 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2457 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2458 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2459 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2460 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2491 debhelper (2.0.100) unstable; urgency=low
2493 * Modified all postinst script fragments to only run when called with
2494 "configure". I looked at the other possibilities, and I don't think any
2495 of the supported stuff should be called if the postist is called for
2496 error unwinds. Closes: #66673
2497 * Implemented dh_clean -X, to allow specification of files to not delete,

2502 debhelper (2.0.99) unstable; urgency=low
2504 * dh_installmodules will now install modiles even if etc/modutils already
2505 exists (wasn't because of a logic error). Closes: #66289
2506 * dh_movefiles now uses debian/movelist, rather than just movelist. This
2507 is to fix an unlikely edge case involving a symlinked debian directory.

2580 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
2581 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2582 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2584 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2585 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2586 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2587 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2588 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2589 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

2685 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2686 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2688 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2689 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2690 otherwise change the result at all.
2692 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2693 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2812 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2813 I made some changes, though:
2814 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2815 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2816 that is a clear violation of policy.
2817 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2818 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2819 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2820 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2821 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2822 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2823 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2824 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2825 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2827 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2871 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2872 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2873 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2995 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2996 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2997 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2998 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2999 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3000 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3001 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3002 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3071 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
3072 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
3073 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3074 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3075 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3076 it's always available.

3082 * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
3083 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
3084 Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> to make it use those id's instead

3118 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
3119 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
3120 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

3340 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3341 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3740 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

3744 suidregister actually supports it.

3762 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

3953 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3954 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3955 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4060 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4061 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4062 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4063 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4064 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4065 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4067 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4068 remove debian/files properly.
4069 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4070 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4071 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4072 * Removed bogus menu file.

4087 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
4088 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4089 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4090 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4091 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4119 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
4120 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4121 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4132 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4133 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4134 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4135 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4136 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4137 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4138 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4139 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4140 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4142 passed any switches.

4154 large chunks in the process.

4192 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4323 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4324 past week. Thanks, guys!
4326 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4327 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4328 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4329 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4330 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4331 would do in the same situation.
4332 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4333 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4335 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4337 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4338 permissions changed.
4339 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4340 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4341 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4342 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4343 files are treated identically.
4344 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4357 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4358 use -X multiple times, too.
4359 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

4635 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4636 are supported. (#16935)

4665 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4669 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4670 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4671 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4672 a given package, or -i or -a.
4673 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4674 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4675 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4676 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4677 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4678 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4680 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4758 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4759 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4760 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
