21 * Man page typo. Closes: #545443
22 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
23 (It was only run once due to logging.)
24 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
25 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
26 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
27 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
28 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
29 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
30 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
31 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
32 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev
33 is installed for the first package. Closes: #546337

51 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
52 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
53 flag with arch all/any packages.
54 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
55 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
56 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
57 situation. Closes: #540794

212 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
213 contributed by Modestas Vainius
214 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
215 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
216 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
217 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
218 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
219 that support it. Closes: #480577
220 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
221 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
222 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
224 - Adds support for cmake.
225 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
226 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
228 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
230 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
231 that use them. The options are:
232 --sourcedir, --destdir
233 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
234 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
235 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
236 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
237 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

299 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
300 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
301 warning or deprecation message.
302 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
303 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
304 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
305 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
306 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
307 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
308 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

523 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
524 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1048 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1049 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1051 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1052 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1053 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1054 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify

1070 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1071 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1072 script and then remove the python files.
1073 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1074 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1075 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1076 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1077 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1082 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1215 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1216 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2918 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2919 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2920 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2921 dh_install, which ...
2922 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2923 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2924 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2925 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2926 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2927 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2928 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2929 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2930 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2931 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2932 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2933 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2934 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2935 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2936 other minor changes.
2937 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2938 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2939 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2940 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2941 course there's -X ..)
2942 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2943 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2944 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2946 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2947 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2948 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2949 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2950 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2995 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2996 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2997 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2998 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3025 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3027 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3028 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3029 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3030 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3031 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3032 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3033 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3034 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3035 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3036 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3037 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3038 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3039 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3040 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3041 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3042 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3044 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3060 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3061 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3062 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3063 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3064 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3065 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3066 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3077 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3079 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3080 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3081 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3082 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3083 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3084 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3085 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3086 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3087 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3268 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented

3271 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3272 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

3299 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3300 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3301 program those options go to. So, for example,
3302 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3511 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3512 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3513 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3514 but is mildly deprecated.
3515 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3516 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3517 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3518 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3519 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3520 switching to statoverrides..
3521 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3522 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3523 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3524 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3525 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3526 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3528 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3529 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3530 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3531 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3532 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3533 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3534 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3535 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3536 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3538 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3539 variable names, pod man pages).
3540 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3541 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3542 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3543 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3544 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3545 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3546 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3711 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3712 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3713 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3714 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3715 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3717 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3718 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3719 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3721 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3723 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3724 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3725 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3726 should now be raised to severity important..

3770 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3962 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3963 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3964 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3965 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3966 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3967 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3968 notice until v2 is complete.
3969 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3970 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3971 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3972 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3973 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3974 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

4100 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4101 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4103 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4104 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4105 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4106 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4107 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4108 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

4187 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4188 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4189 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4190 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4191 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4192 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4193 bits until all files have been registered.

4202 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4203 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4204 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4205 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4206 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4207 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4208 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4209 otherwise change the result at all.
4211 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4212 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4213 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4231 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4232 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4234 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4235 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4236 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

4331 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4332 I made some changes, though:
4333 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4334 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4335 that is a clear violation of policy.
4336 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4337 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4338 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4339 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4340 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4341 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4342 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4343 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4344 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4346 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4515 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4516 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4517 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4518 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4519 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4520 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4521 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4527 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4528 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4529 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4531 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4532 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4533 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4534 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4535 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4536 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4538 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4539 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5229 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5230 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5472 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5473 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5474 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5475 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5533 * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
5534 installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.

5542 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/

5546 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
5547 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5548 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5549 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
5550 the program to not fail. (#26214)

5577 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
5579 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5580 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5581 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5582 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5583 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5584 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5586 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5587 remove debian/files properly.
5588 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5589 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5590 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5591 * Removed bogus menu file.

5606 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
5607 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5608 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5609 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
5610 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5638 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
5639 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5640 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
5641 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
5642 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

5649 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5650 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5651 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5652 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5653 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5654 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5655 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5656 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5657 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5658 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5659 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5660 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5661 passed any switches.

5670 at all for a long while.
5671 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
5672 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5673 large chunks in the process.
5674 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5675 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5711 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

5842 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5843 past week. Thanks, guys!
5845 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5846 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5847 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5848 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5849 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5850 would do in the same situation.
5851 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5852 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5854 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5856 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5857 permissions changed.
5858 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5859 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5860 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5861 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5862 files are treated identically.
5863 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5876 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5877 use -X multiple times, too.
5878 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

6190 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6191 a given package, or -i or -a.
6192 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6193 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6194 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6195 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6197 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6199 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
