3 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
5 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
6 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
7 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
8 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
9 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
10 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
11 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
12 it is an obsolete program.

100 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
101 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
102 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
103 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
105 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
106 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
107 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
109 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
111 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
112 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
113 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
114 should now be raised to severity important..

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

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

590 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
591 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
592 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
593 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
594 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
595 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
596 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
597 otherwise change the result at all.
599 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
600 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
601 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
602 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

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

664 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

718 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
719 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
720 I made some changes, though:
721 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
722 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
723 that is a clear violation of policy.
724 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
725 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
726 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
727 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
728 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
729 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
730 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
731 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
732 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
734 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

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

899 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
900 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
901 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
902 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
903 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
904 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
905 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
906 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
907 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
908 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
909 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

1063 debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1065 * At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. It takes a simple list of
1066 info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)

1070 debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
1072 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
1073 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
1074 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
1076 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.

1080 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
1082 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
1083 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
1084 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
1085 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

1091 * dh_*: redirect cd output to /den/null, because CD can actually output
1092 things if CDPATH is set.

1096 debhelper (2.0.07) unstable; urgency=low
1098 * Added dh_perl calls to example rules files.

1102 debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low
1104 * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
1105 seems to make sense for the transition.

1109 debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low
1111 * dh_clean: clean debian/tmp even if v2 is being used. If you're
1112 using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be

1117 debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low
1119 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
1120 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
1121 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

1125 debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low
1127 * Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at
1128 that version. (Closes: #40589)

1132 debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
1134 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
1135 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
1136 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
1137 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
1138 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

1148 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
1150 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
1151 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
1152 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
1153 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
1154 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
1155 * debhelper.1: documented this.
1156 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
1157 current compatability level is equal to that number.
1158 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
1159 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.
1160 * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatable with

1165 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low
1167 * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2.
1168 * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes.
1169 * README: mention doc/v2
1170 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT
1171 * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files

1175 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
1177 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
1178 be using this script RSN.

1182 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
1184 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
1185 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
1186 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
1187 more than 1 init script.

1191 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
1193 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
1194 failing if it was given absolute filenames.
1196 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700
1198 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
1200 * Changed perl version detection.

1205 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
1207 * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. dh_perl handles
1208 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying

1228 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
1230 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
1231 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
1232 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

1237 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
1239 * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.

1244 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
1246 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
1247 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
1248 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
1249 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the
1250 x bit was being set!

1254 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
1256 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
1257 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
1258 well. (Closes: 38900)

1262 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
1264 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
1265 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
1266 work on the man page (closes: #38898).

1289 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
1291 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
1292 help from Julian Gilbey.
1293 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
1294 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
1295 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
1296 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
1297 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
1298 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
1299 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root

1401 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
1402 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
1403 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
1404 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

1432 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of

1609 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
1610 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages

1617 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
1618 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
1619 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
1620 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

1645 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
1646 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
1647 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
1648 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
1649 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
1650 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
1651 suidregister actually supports it.
1652 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
1653 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

1666 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
1667 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
1668 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
1669 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
1670 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
1671 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
1672 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
1673 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

1687 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
1688 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

1701 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
1702 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
1703 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
1704 effect, either. (#30118)

1828 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
1829 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
1830 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

1839 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
1840 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
1841 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
1842 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

1856 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
1857 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
1858 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
1859 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
1860 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
1861 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
1862 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
1863 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

1899 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
1900 sections of shared libraries.

1902 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
1903 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
1904 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
1905 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
1906 things you don't want them to.

2056 * dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed.
2057 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
2058 at all for a long while.
2059 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
2060 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
2061 large chunks in the process.
2062 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
2063 install many oddly named files it died on before.

2079 debhelper (1.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
2081 * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if
2082 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
2083 that don't always have the same files in them.
2084 * dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
2085 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.

2092 * New unstable branch of debhelper.
2094 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
2095 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
2096 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
2097 updating 27 man pages.
2098 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
2099 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
2100 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

2172 * dh_fixperms: applied patch from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2173 to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages
2174 with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks,

2228 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
2229 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
2230 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
2231 past week. Thanks, guys!
2233 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
2234 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
2235 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
2236 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
2237 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
2238 would do in the same situation.
2239 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
2240 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
2242 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
2244 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
2245 permissions changed.
2246 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
2247 some people enjoy changing root's name.
2248 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
2249 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
2250 files are treated identically.
2251 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
2252 * Minor man page fixes.
2253 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
2254 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
2255 --no-act is on. (#23054)

2261 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
2262 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
2263 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
2264 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
2265 use -X multiple times, too.
2266 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
2267 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

2273 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping
2274 elf binaries. This makes for smaller output files. This has always been

2288 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
2289 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
2290 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
2291 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
2292 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
2293 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
2294 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
2295 shape if you're starting a new package.

2324 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
2325 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
2326 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
2327 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

2561 version requirements in the shlibs file.
2562 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
2563 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the

2578 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
2579 a given package, or -i or -a.

2581 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

2665 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
2666 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',

2844 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
2845 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

2896 the package build directory it is to act on.
2897 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
2898 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
