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

1374 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1375 dh_install, which ...
1376 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1377 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1378 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1379 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1380 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1381 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1382 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1383 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1384 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1385 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1386 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1387 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1388 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1389 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1390 other minor changes.
1391 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1392 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1393 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1394 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1395 course there's -X ..)
1396 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1397 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1479 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1481 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1482 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1483 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1484 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1485 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1486 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1487 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1488 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1489 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1490 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1491 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1492 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1493 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1494 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1495 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1496 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1498 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1531 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1533 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1534 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1535 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1536 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1537 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1538 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1539 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1540 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1720 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1721 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1722 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1723 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1724 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1725 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1726 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1727 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1751 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1752 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1753 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1754 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1755 program those options go to. So, for example,
1756 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1900 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1901 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1902 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1903 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1904 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1961 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1962 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1963 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1964 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1965 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1966 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1967 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1968 but is mildly deprecated.
1969 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1970 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1971 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1972 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1973 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1974 switching to statoverrides..
1975 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1976 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1977 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1978 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1979 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1980 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1982 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1983 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1984 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1985 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1986 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1987 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1988 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1989 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1990 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1992 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1993 variable names, pod man pages).
1994 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1995 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1996 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1997 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1998 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1999 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2000 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2069 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2070 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2071 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2072 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2073 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2074 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2075 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2076 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2077 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

2164 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2165 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2166 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2167 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2168 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2169 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2171 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2172 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2173 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2175 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2177 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2178 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2179 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2180 should now be raised to severity important..
2181 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2182 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2223 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2224 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2416 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2417 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2418 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2419 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2420 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2421 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2422 notice until v2 is complete.
2423 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2424 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2425 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2426 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2427 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2428 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2430 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

2551 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
2552 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
2553 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
2554 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2555 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2557 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2558 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2559 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2560 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2561 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2562 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
2563 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

2644 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2645 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2646 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2647 bits until all files have been registered.

2658 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2659 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2662 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

2665 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2666 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2785 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2786 I made some changes, though:
2787 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2788 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2789 that is a clear violation of policy.
2790 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2791 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2792 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2793 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2794 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2795 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2796 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2797 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2798 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2800 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2844 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2845 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2846 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2964 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2965 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.

2967 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2968 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2969 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2970 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2971 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2972 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2973 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2974 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2975 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3055 * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
3056 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
3057 Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> to make it use those id's instead
3058 of coming up with it's own. (Closes: #42650)

3091 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
3092 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
3093 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

3138 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3139 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3140 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3146 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
3148 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3149 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3150 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3151 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3185 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3186 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
3187 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

3201 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.

3203 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3204 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3217 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3218 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3219 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3220 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3221 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3222 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3223 current compatability level is equal to that number.
3224 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.

3250 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3251 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3252 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install

3296 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3297 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3298 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3313 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3314 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3362 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4059 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
4060 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
4061 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4062 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4063 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4064 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4093 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4094 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4105 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4106 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4107 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4108 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4109 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4110 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4111 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4112 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4113 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4126 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4127 large chunks in the process.

4295 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4296 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4297 past week. Thanks, guys!
4299 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4300 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4301 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4302 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4303 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4304 would do in the same situation.
4305 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4306 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4308 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4310 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4311 permissions changed.
4312 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4313 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4314 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4315 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4316 files are treated identically.
4317 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4318 * Minor man page fixes.
4319 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4330 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4331 use -X multiple times, too.
4332 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4333 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4606 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

4608 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4609 are supported. (#16935)

4627 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4628 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4629 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4630 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

4637 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4638 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4642 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4643 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4644 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4645 a given package, or -i or -a.
4646 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4647 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4648 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4649 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4650 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4651 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4653 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4681 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

4732 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4733 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
