1076 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1077 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1078 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1079 dh_install, which ...
1080 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1081 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1082 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1083 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1084 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1085 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1086 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1087 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1088 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1089 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1090 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1091 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1092 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1093 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1094 other minor changes.
1095 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1096 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1097 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1098 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1099 course there's -X ..)
1100 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1101 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1102 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1104 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1105 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1106 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1107 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1108 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1152 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1153 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1154 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1155 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1156 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1183 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1185 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1186 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1187 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1188 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1189 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1190 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1191 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1192 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1193 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1194 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1195 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1196 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1197 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1198 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1199 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1200 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1202 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1235 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1237 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1238 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1239 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1240 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1241 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1242 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1243 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1244 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1245 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1605 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1606 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1607 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1608 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1665 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1666 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1667 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1668 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1669 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1671 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1672 but is mildly deprecated.
1673 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1674 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1675 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1676 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1677 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1678 switching to statoverrides..
1679 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1680 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1681 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1682 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1683 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1684 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1686 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1687 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1688 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1689 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1690 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1691 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1692 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1693 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1694 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1696 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1697 variable names, pod man pages).
1698 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1699 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1700 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1701 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1702 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1703 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1704 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1870 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1876 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1877 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2120 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2121 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2122 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2123 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2124 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2125 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2126 notice until v2 is complete.
2127 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2128 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2129 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2130 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2131 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2132 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2134 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2135 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2136 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2137 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2258 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2259 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2261 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2262 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2263 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2264 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2265 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2347 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2348 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2349 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2350 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2351 bits until all files have been registered.

2361 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2362 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2363 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2364 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2365 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2366 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2367 otherwise change the result at all.
2369 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2370 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2490 I made some changes, though:
2491 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2492 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2493 that is a clear violation of policy.
2494 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2495 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2496 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2497 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2498 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2499 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2500 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2501 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2502 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2504 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2546 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2547 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2548 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2549 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2550 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2551 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
2552 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

2668 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2669 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2670 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2671 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2672 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2673 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2674 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2675 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2676 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2677 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2678 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2679 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2687 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2689 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2690 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2691 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2692 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2693 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2694 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3598 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.

3609 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3610 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3611 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3612 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3626 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3627 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3628 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3629 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3630 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3631 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3632 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3633 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3669 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3670 sections of shared libraries.

3672 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3673 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3674 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3675 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3676 things you don't want them to.

3740 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3741 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3815 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3816 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3817 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4001 past week. Thanks, guys!
4003 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4004 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4005 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4006 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4007 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4008 would do in the same situation.

4010 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

4019 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two

4349 a given package, or -i or -a.

4351 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4569 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4570 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4571 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4572 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4573 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4579 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4580 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4581 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4582 multiple binary packages.
4583 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4584 should rebuild them with this version.
4585 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4603 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4605 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4606 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4607 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4608 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4609 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4610 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4611 debian/README.debian.
4612 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4613 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4614 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4615 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4616 in a few situations.)

4622 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

4639 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
4641 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
4642 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
4643 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

4647 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4649 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4650 is ready for general use.
4651 * Added man pages for all commands.
4652 * Multiple binary package support.
4653 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4654 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4655 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4657 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4658 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4659 auto-installed as parameters.
4660 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4662 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4665 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4666 the package build directory it is to act on.
4667 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4668 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4669 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
