206 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
207 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
208 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
209 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
210 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
211 bits until all files have been registered.

221 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
222 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
223 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
224 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
225 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
226 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
227 otherwise change the result at all.
229 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
230 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
231 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

250 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
252 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
253 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to

349 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
350 I made some changes, though:
351 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
352 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
353 that is a clear violation of policy.
354 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
355 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
356 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
357 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
358 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
359 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
360 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
361 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
362 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
364 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

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

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

1560 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/
1562 * Added code to debian/rules to update the web page when I release new
1564 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
1565 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
1566 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
1567 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
1568 the program to not fail. (#26214)

1581 * dh_installdocs: forgot to pass package name to isnative(). Any native
1582 debian package that had a debian/TODO would have it installed with the

1595 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
1597 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
1598 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
1599 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
1600 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
1601 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
1602 I apologize for the inconvenience.
1604 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
1605 remove debian/files properly.
1606 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
1607 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
1608 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
1609 * Removed bogus menu file.

1622 * Dh_Lib.pm: made U_PARAMS an array of parameters.
1623 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
1624 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
1625 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
1626 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
1627 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
1628 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

1651 * dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl.

1653 * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
1655 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
1656 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
1657 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
1658 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
1659 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
1660 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

1666 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
1667 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
1668 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
1669 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
1670 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
1671 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
1672 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
1673 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
1674 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
1675 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
1676 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
1677 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
1678 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
1679 passed any switches.
1680 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

1687 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
1688 at all for a long while.
1689 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
1690 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
1691 large chunks in the process.
1692 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
1693 install many oddly named files it died on before.

1712 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
1713 that don't always have the same files in them.

1727 updating 27 man pages.
1728 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
1729 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

1859 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
1860 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
1861 past week. Thanks, guys!
1863 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
1864 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
1865 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
1866 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
1867 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
1868 would do in the same situation.
1869 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
1870 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
1872 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
1874 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
1875 permissions changed.
1876 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
1877 some people enjoy changing root's name.
1878 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
1879 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
1880 files are treated identically.
1881 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
1882 * Minor man page fixes.
1883 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

1892 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
1893 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
1894 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
1895 use -X multiple times, too.
1896 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
1897 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

2157 argument processor in perl.

2168 type directories. (#16933)
2169 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
2170 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
2171 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
2172 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
2173 are supported. (#16935)
2174 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

2188 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
2190 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
2191 version requirements in the shlibs file.
2192 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
2193 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
2194 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
2195 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

2199 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
2201 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
2202 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
2203 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
2205 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
2206 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
2207 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
2208 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
2209 a given package, or -i or -a.
2210 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
2211 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
2212 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
2213 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
2214 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
2215 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
2216 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
2217 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
2218 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
2220 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
2221 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

2244 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
2245 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

2260 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.

2262 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863

2272 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

2293 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
2294 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
2295 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
2296 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
2297 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
2298 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
2299 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().
