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

46 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
48 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
49 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
50 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
51 line, as well as in debian/rules.
52 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
53 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
54 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
55 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
56 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
57 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
58 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
59 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
60 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
61 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
62 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
63 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
65 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

100 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
101 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
102 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
103 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
104 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
105 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
106 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
107 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
108 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

291 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
292 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
293 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
294 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

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

526 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
528 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
529 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
530 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
531 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
532 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
533 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
534 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
535 but is mildly deprecated.
536 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
537 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
538 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
539 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
540 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
541 switching to statoverrides..
542 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
543 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
544 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
545 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
546 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
547 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
549 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
550 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
551 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
552 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
553 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
554 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
555 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
556 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
557 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
559 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
560 variable names, pod man pages).
561 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
562 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
563 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
564 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
565 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
566 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
567 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

733 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

983 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
984 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
985 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
986 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
987 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
988 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
989 notice until v2 is complete.
990 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
991 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
992 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
993 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;

1126 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
1127 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
1128 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

1210 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
1211 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1212 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1213 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1214 bits until all files have been registered.

1225 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
1226 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

1229 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1230 otherwise change the result at all.
1232 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1233 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

1255 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to

1353 I made some changes, though:
1354 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1355 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1356 that is a clear violation of policy.
1357 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1358 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1359 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1360 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1361 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1362 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1363 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1364 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1365 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1367 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

1536 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
1537 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
1538 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make

1541 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
1542 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

1548 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
1549 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
1550 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
1552 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
1553 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
1554 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
1555 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
1556 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
1557 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
1559 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
1560 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2250 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
2251 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

2280 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

2284 suidregister actually supports it.

2493 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
2494 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
2495 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
2496 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

2600 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
2601 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
2602 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
2603 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
2604 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
2605 I apologize for the inconvenience.

2608 remove debian/files properly.

2676 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).

2678 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem

2863 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
2864 past week. Thanks, guys!
2866 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
2867 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
2868 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
2869 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
2870 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
2871 would do in the same situation.
2872 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
2873 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
2875 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
2877 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
2878 permissions changed.
2879 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
2880 some people enjoy changing root's name.
2881 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
2882 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
2883 files are treated identically.

2897 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
2898 use -X multiple times, too.

3173 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

3175 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
3176 are supported. (#16935)

3194 version requirements in the shlibs file.
3195 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

3204 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
3205 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

3209 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
3210 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
3211 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3212 a given package, or -i or -a.
3213 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3214 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3215 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3216 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
3217 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
3218 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
3219 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
3220 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
3221 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

3248 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

3298 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
3299 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
3300 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
