12 warning or deprecation message.

16 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
17 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
18 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
19 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

232 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
233 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
234 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
235 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

763 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

785 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
786 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
787 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
788 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
789 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
790 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
791 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
792 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
793 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

917 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
918 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
919 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
920 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
921 specific python version. Closes: #373853
922 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
923 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
925 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
926 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
927 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
928 the not too-distant future).

1011 * Update french translation with recents changes in dh_installxfonts,
1012 dh_link and dh_compress manpages
1013 * Delete -f option in po4a command line. Bug in po4a has been corrected in
1014 new version (0.24.1).
1015 * Change build-depends for po4a. New version (0.24.1).
1016 * Add code for removing empty "lang" directories into man/ when cleaning.
1019 * dh_installxfonts: pass --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-* commands to ensure
1020 they use the right new directory. Closes: #362820
1021 * dh_installxfonts: also, alias files have moved from /etc/X11/fonts/* to
1022 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page
1023 accordingly; packages containing alias files will need to switch to the
1024 new directory on their own.
1025 * dh_installudev: correct documentation for --name. Closes: #363028
1026 * Fix broken directory removal code.

1032 * Convert the "I have no packages to build" error into a warning. Am I
1033 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that
1034 builds an arch all package and an single-arch package? In this case,
1035 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some
1036 other arch, and debhelper will now support this.

1148 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
1149 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
1150 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
1151 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are

1184 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1185 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

1306 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1307 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2629 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2630 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2631 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2632 dh_install, which ...
2633 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2634 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2635 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2636 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2637 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2638 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2639 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2640 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2641 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2642 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2643 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2644 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2645 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2646 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2647 other minor changes.
2648 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2649 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2650 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2651 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2652 course there's -X ..)
2653 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2654 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2655 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2657 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2658 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2659 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2660 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2661 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2705 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2706 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2707 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2708 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2709 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2736 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2738 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2739 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2740 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2741 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2742 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2743 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2744 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2745 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2746 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2747 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2748 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2749 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2750 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2751 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2752 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2753 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2755 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2773 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

2790 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2791 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2792 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2793 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2794 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2795 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2796 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2797 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2798 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3011 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3012 program those options go to. So, for example,
3013 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3014 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3015 something complex. Closes: #89311

3157 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3158 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3159 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3160 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3161 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3216 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3218 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3219 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3220 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3221 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3222 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3223 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3224 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3225 but is mildly deprecated.
3226 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3227 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3228 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3229 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3230 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3231 switching to statoverrides..
3232 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3233 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3234 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3235 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3236 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3237 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3239 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3240 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3241 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3242 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3243 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3244 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3245 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3246 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3247 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3249 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3250 variable names, pod man pages).
3251 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3252 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3253 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3254 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3255 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3256 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3257 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3423 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3426 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3428 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3429 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3430 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3435 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt

3673 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3674 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3675 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3676 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3677 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3678 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3679 notice until v2 is complete.
3680 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3681 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3682 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3683 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3684 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3685 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3687 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3688 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3689 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3902 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

4042 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4043 I made some changes, though:
4044 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4045 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4046 that is a clear violation of policy.
4047 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4048 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4049 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4050 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4051 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4052 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4053 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4054 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4055 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4057 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4224 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4225 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4226 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4227 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4228 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4229 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4230 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4231 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4232 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4247 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5024 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
5025 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
5026 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
5027 effect, either. (#30118)

5181 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5182 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5183 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5184 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5185 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5186 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5551 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5552 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5553 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5554 past week. Thanks, guys!
5556 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5557 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5558 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5559 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5560 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5561 would do in the same situation.
5562 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5563 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5565 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5567 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5568 permissions changed.
5569 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5570 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5571 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5572 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5573 files are treated identically.
5574 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5587 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5588 use -X multiple times, too.

6012 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
6013 the dh_* programs (#15497).
6014 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

6068 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6069 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6070 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6071 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6130 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6132 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6133 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6134 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6135 multiple binary packages.
6136 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6137 should rebuild them with this version.
6138 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6156 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6158 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6159 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6160 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6161 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6162 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6163 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6164 debian/README.debian.
6165 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6166 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6167 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6168 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6169 in a few situations.)

6200 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6202 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6203 is ready for general use.
6204 * Added man pages for all commands.
6205 * Multiple binary package support.
6206 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6207 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6208 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6210 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6211 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6212 auto-installed as parameters.
6213 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6215 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6218 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6219 the package build directory it is to act on.
6220 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6221 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6222 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
