3 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
4 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
5 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
6 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
7 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
8 * debhelper.1: Explicitly document that docs describe latest compat
9 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the
10 "Debhelper compatibility levels" section of debhelper.1. Closes: #336906
12 * dh_install: Add package name to missing files error. Closes: #336908

1329 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1330 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1331 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1332 dh_install, which ...
1333 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1334 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1335 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1336 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1337 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1338 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1339 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1340 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1341 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1342 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1343 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1344 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1345 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1346 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1347 other minor changes.
1348 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1349 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1350 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1351 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1352 course there's -X ..)
1353 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1354 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1355 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1357 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1358 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1359 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1360 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1361 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1406 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1407 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1408 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1409 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1436 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1438 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1439 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1440 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1441 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1442 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1443 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1444 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1445 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1446 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1447 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1448 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1449 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1450 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1451 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1452 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1453 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1455 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1473 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1474 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1475 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1490 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1491 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1492 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1493 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1494 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1495 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1496 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1497 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1498 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1674 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1675 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1676 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1677 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1678 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1679 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1680 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1681 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1682 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1683 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1684 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1686 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1707 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1708 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1709 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1710 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1711 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1712 program those options go to. So, for example,
1713 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1714 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1856 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1857 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1858 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1859 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1860 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1861 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1862 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1918 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1919 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1920 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1921 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1922 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1923 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1924 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1925 but is mildly deprecated.
1926 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1927 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1928 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1929 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1930 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1931 switching to statoverrides..
1932 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1933 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1934 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1935 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1936 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1937 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1939 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1940 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1941 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1942 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1943 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1944 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1945 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1946 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1947 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1949 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1950 variable names, pod man pages).
1951 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1952 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1953 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1954 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1955 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1956 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1957 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2028 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2029 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2030 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2031 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2032 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2033 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2034 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2035 it is an obsolete program.

2122 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2123 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2124 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2125 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2126 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2128 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2129 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2130 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2132 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2134 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2135 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2136 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2137 should now be raised to severity important..
2138 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2139 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2371 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2373 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2374 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2375 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2376 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2377 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2378 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2379 notice until v2 is complete.
2380 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2381 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2382 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2383 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2384 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2385 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2387 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2388 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

2598 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2599 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2600 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2601 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2602 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2603 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2604 bits until all files have been registered.

2613 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2614 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2615 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2616 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2617 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2618 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2619 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2620 otherwise change the result at all.
2622 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2623 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2642 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2643 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2645 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2646 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2647 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2648 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2742 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2743 I made some changes, though:
2744 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2745 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2746 that is a clear violation of policy.
2747 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2748 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2749 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2750 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2751 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2752 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2753 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2754 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2755 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2757 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2800 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2801 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2802 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2803 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2921 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2922 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2923 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2924 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2925 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2926 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2927 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2928 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2929 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2930 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2931 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2932 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2942 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2943 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2944 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2945 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2946 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2947 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3048 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
3049 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

3106 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3174 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3175 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3176 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3177 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3180 current compatability level is equal to that number.

3253 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3254 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3255 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3270 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3271 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3668 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base

3670 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3671 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3674 suidregister actually supports it.

3690 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

3692 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3693 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).

3883 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3884 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3885 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4050 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4051 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
4052 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
4053 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

4060 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
4061 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4062 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4063 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4064 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4065 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4066 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4067 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4068 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4069 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4070 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4072 passed any switches.

4083 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4084 large chunks in the process.
4085 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4086 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4253 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4254 past week. Thanks, guys!
4256 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4257 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4258 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4259 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4260 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4261 would do in the same situation.
4262 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4263 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4265 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4267 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4268 permissions changed.
4269 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4270 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4271 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4272 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4273 files are treated identically.
4274 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4287 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4288 use -X multiple times, too.
4289 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4290 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4601 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4602 a given package, or -i or -a.
4603 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4604 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4606 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

4608 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4610 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4689 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
