44 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that

161 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
162 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are

317 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
318 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1638 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1640 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1641 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1642 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1643 dh_install, which ...
1644 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1645 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1646 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1647 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1648 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1649 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1650 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1651 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1652 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1653 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1654 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1655 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1656 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1657 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1658 other minor changes.
1659 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1660 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1661 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1662 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1663 course there's -X ..)
1664 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1665 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1666 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1668 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1669 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1670 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1671 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1672 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1716 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1717 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1718 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1719 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1720 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1747 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1749 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1750 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1751 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1752 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1753 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1754 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1755 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1756 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1757 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1758 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1759 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1760 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1761 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1762 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1763 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1764 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1766 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1801 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1802 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1803 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1804 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1805 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1806 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1807 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1808 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1809 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2168 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2169 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2170 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2171 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2172 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2229 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2230 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2231 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2232 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2233 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2234 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2235 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2236 but is mildly deprecated.
2237 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2238 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2239 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2240 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2241 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2242 switching to statoverrides..
2243 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2244 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2245 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2246 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2247 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2248 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2250 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2251 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2252 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2253 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2254 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2255 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2256 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2257 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2258 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2260 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2261 variable names, pod man pages).
2262 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2263 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2264 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2265 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2266 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2267 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2268 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2340 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2341 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2343 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2434 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2436 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2437 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2439 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2440 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2441 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2540 debian/tmp, but it's a faq. Added some explanation. By the way, since
2541 there now exists a documented way to use dh_movefiles that does not
2542 have problems with empty directories that get left behind and so on, I

2682 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2684 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2685 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2686 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2687 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2688 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2689 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2690 notice until v2 is complete.
2691 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2692 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2693 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2694 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2695 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2696 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2698 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2699 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2700 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2701 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2822 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2823 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2825 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2826 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2827 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2828 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2829 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2912 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2913 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2914 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2915 bits until all files have been registered.

2927 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2928 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100

2930 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2931 otherwise change the result at all.
2933 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2934 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3053 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3054 I made some changes, though:
3055 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3056 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3057 that is a clear violation of policy.
3058 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3059 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3060 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3061 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3062 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3063 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3064 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3065 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3066 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3068 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3233 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3234 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3235 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3236 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3237 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3238 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3239 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3240 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3241 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3242 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3243 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4064 * examples/*: moved dh_makeshlibs call to before dh_installdeb call.
4065 (#29762). This is just so if you replace dh_makeshlibs with something
4066 that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly.

4173 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4174 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4175 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4176 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4189 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4190 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4191 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4192 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4193 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4194 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4195 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4196 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4197 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4233 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4234 sections of shared libraries.
4235 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4236 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4237 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4238 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4239 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4240 things you don't want them to.
4241 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4242 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4269 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4270 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4271 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

4301 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4302 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4303 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4304 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4305 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4306 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4308 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4309 remove debian/files properly.
4310 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4311 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4312 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4313 * Removed bogus menu file.

4330 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4361 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4362 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4373 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4374 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4375 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4376 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4377 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4378 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4379 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4380 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4381 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4382 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4383 passed any switches.

4395 large chunks in the process.

4562 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4563 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4564 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4565 past week. Thanks, guys!
4567 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4568 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4569 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4570 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4571 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4572 would do in the same situation.
4573 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4574 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4576 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4578 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4579 permissions changed.
4580 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4581 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4582 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4583 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4584 files are treated identically.
4585 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4586 * Minor man page fixes.
4587 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4588 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4589 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4597 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4598 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4599 use -X multiple times, too.
4600 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4601 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4626 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4627 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

4913 a given package, or -i or -a.

5079 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5080 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5081 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5082 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5134 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.

5143 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5144 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5145 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5146 multiple binary packages.
5147 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5148 should rebuild them with this version.
5149 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5167 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5169 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5170 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5171 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5172 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5173 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5174 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5175 debian/README.debian.
5176 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5177 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5178 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5179 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5180 in a few situations.)

5216 * Multiple binary package support.
5217 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5218 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5219 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5221 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5222 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5223 auto-installed as parameters.
5224 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5226 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5229 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5230 the package build directory it is to act on.
5231 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5232 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5233 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
