760 * Note that 4.1.11 changelog entry was incorrect, dh_perl worked fine
761 without that change, but the new behavior is less likely to break things

855 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
856 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
857 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
858 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
859 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
860 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

970 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
971 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
972 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
973 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to

1005 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1006 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1007 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1008 dh_install, which ...
1009 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1010 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1011 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1012 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1013 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1014 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1015 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1016 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1017 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1018 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1019 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1020 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1021 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1022 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1023 other minor changes.
1024 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1025 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1026 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1027 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1028 course there's -X ..)
1029 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1030 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1031 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1033 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1034 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1035 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1036 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1037 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1081 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1082 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1083 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1084 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1085 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1112 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1114 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1115 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1116 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1117 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1118 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1119 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1120 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1121 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1122 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1123 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1124 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1125 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1126 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1127 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1128 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1129 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1131 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1166 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1167 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1168 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1169 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1170 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1171 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1172 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1173 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1174 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1358 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1359 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

1386 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1387 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1388 program those options go to. So, for example,
1389 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1534 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1535 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1536 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1537 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1538 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1539 Closes: #88464, #77743
1540 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
1541 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
1542 us to deal with that gracefully.

1545 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197
1546 * dh_installdocs and dh_link have been able to make doc-dir symlinks for
1547 a while, Closes: #51225

1592 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1594 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1595 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1596 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1597 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1598 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1599 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1600 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1601 but is mildly deprecated.
1602 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1603 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1604 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1605 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1606 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1607 switching to statoverrides..
1608 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1609 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1610 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1611 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1612 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1613 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1615 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1616 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1617 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1618 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1619 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1620 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1621 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1622 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1623 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1625 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1626 variable names, pod man pages).
1627 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1628 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1629 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1630 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1631 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1632 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1633 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1705 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1706 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1708 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

1799 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1800 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1801 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1802 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1804 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1805 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1806 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1811 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1812 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

1857 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2049 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2050 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2051 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2052 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2053 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2054 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2055 notice until v2 is complete.
2056 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2057 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2058 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2059 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2060 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2061 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2063 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2064 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2065 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2066 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2190 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2192 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2193 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2276 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2277 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2278 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2279 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2280 bits until all files have been registered.

2290 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2291 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2292 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2293 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2294 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2295 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2296 otherwise change the result at all.
2298 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2299 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2300 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2419 I made some changes, though:
2420 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2421 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2422 that is a clear violation of policy.
2423 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2424 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2425 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2426 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2427 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2428 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2429 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2430 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2431 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2433 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2596 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2597 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2598 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2599 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2600 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2601 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2602 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2603 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2604 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2605 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2606 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2607 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2608 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2614 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2615 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2616 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2618 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2619 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2620 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2621 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2622 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2623 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3554 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3555 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3556 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3557 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3558 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3559 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3560 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3561 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3562 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3575 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

3598 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3599 sections of shared libraries.
3600 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3601 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3602 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3603 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3604 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3605 things you don't want them to.

3666 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3667 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3668 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3669 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3670 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3671 I apologize for the inconvenience.

3674 remove debian/files properly.
3675 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

3744 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3745 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3746 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3929 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the

3932 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3933 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3934 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3935 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3936 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3937 would do in the same situation.
3938 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3939 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3941 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3943 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3944 permissions changed.

3946 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3947 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3948 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3949 files are treated identically.

4271 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4275 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4276 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4277 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4278 a given package, or -i or -a.
4279 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4280 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4281 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4282 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4283 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4284 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4286 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4365 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',

4532 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4534 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4535 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4536 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4537 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4538 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4539 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4540 debian/README.debian.
4541 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4542 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4543 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4544 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4545 in a few situations.)

4549 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
4551 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

4555 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

4568 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
4570 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
4571 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
4572 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

4576 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4578 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4579 is ready for general use.
4580 * Added man pages for all commands.
4581 * Multiple binary package support.
4582 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4583 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4584 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4586 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4587 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4588 auto-installed as parameters.
4589 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4591 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4594 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4595 the package build directory it is to act on.
4596 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4597 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4598 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
