1056 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
1057 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
1058 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
1059 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

1204 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1205 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1206 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1207 dh_install, which ...
1208 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1209 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1210 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1211 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1212 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1213 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1214 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1215 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1216 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1217 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1218 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1219 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1220 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1221 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1222 other minor changes.
1223 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1224 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1225 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1226 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1227 course there's -X ..)
1228 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1229 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1230 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1232 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1233 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1234 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1235 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1236 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1280 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1281 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1282 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1283 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1284 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1311 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1313 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1314 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1315 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1316 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1317 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1318 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1319 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1320 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1321 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1322 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1323 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1324 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1325 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1326 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1327 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1328 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1330 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1344 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205

1347 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1348 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1349 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1350 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1351 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

1363 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1365 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1366 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1367 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1368 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1369 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1370 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1371 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1372 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1373 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1549 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1550 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1551 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1552 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1553 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1554 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1555 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1556 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1557 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1558 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1559 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1561 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1582 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1583 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1584 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1585 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1586 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1587 program those options go to. So, for example,
1588 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1589 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1733 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1734 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1735 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1736 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1793 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1794 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1795 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1796 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1797 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1799 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1800 but is mildly deprecated.
1801 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1802 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1803 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1804 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1805 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1806 switching to statoverrides..
1807 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1808 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1809 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1810 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1811 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1812 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1814 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1815 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1816 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1817 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1818 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1819 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1820 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1821 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1822 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1824 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1825 variable names, pod man pages).
1826 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1827 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1828 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1829 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1830 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1831 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1832 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2248 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2249 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2250 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2251 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2252 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2253 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2254 notice until v2 is complete.
2255 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2256 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2257 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2258 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2259 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2260 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2262 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2263 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2264 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2477 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2559 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
2560 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
2561 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2562 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

2617 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2618 I made some changes, though:
2619 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2620 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2621 that is a clear violation of policy.
2622 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2623 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2624 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2625 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2626 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2627 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2628 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2629 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2630 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2632 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2676 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2677 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2678 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2799 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2800 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2801 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2802 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2803 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2804 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2805 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2806 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2807 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3049 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3050 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary

3145 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3146 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3567 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3568 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3569 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

3756 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3757 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3758 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3759 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3760 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3761 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4127 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4128 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4129 past week. Thanks, guys!
4131 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4132 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4133 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4134 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4135 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4136 would do in the same situation.
4137 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4138 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4140 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4142 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4143 permissions changed.
4144 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4145 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4146 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4147 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4148 files are treated identically.
4149 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4163 use -X multiple times, too.

4530 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
4531 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

4539 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
4540 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

4561 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4562 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4563 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4564 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4565 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4566 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4567 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4646 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4736 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4737 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4738 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4739 debian/README.debian.
4740 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4741 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4742 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4743 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4744 in a few situations.)

4790 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4793 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4794 the package build directory it is to act on.
4795 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4796 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4797 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
