3 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
4 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
6 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
7 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
8 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
9 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
10 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
11 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
12 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
13 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
14 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

23 package install. Closes: #415717
24 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
25 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
26 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
27 script and then remove the python files.
28 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
29 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
30 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
31 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
32 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
33 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
34 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
35 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
36 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
37 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

157 * Update of dh_python
158 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
159 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
160 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
161 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
162 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
163 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
164 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
165 specific python version. Closes: #373853
166 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
167 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
169 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
170 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
171 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
172 the not too-distant future).
173 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
174 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

547 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
548 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5

551 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1876 dh_install, which ...
1877 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1878 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1879 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1880 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1881 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1882 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1883 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1884 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1885 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1886 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1887 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1888 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1889 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1890 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1891 other minor changes.
1892 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1893 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.

1980 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1982 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1983 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1984 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1985 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1986 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1987 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1988 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1989 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1990 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1991 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1992 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1993 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1994 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1995 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1996 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1997 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1999 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2034 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2035 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2036 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2037 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2038 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2039 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2040 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2041 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2042 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2218 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

2220 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2221 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2222 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2223 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2224 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2225 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2226 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2227 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2228 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2253 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2254 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2255 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2256 program those options go to. So, for example,
2257 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2258 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2402 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2403 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2404 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2405 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2460 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2462 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2463 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2464 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2465 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2466 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2467 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2468 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2469 but is mildly deprecated.
2470 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2471 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2472 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2473 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2474 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2475 switching to statoverrides..
2476 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2477 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2478 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2479 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2480 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2481 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2483 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2484 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2485 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2486 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2487 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2488 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2489 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2490 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2491 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2493 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2494 variable names, pod man pages).
2495 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2496 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2497 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2498 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2499 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2500 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2501 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2571 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in

2573 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2574 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2576 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2666 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2667 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2668 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2669 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2670 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2672 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2673 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2674 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2676 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2678 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2679 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2680 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2681 should now be raised to severity important..
2682 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2683 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2917 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2918 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2919 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2920 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2921 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2922 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2923 notice until v2 is complete.
2924 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2925 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2926 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2927 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2928 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2929 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2931 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3050 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
3051 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
3052 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
3053 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3054 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3055 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3056 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3058 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3059 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3060 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3061 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3062 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3063 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
3064 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

3145 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3146 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3147 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3148 bits until all files have been registered.

3159 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3160 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3163 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

3166 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects

3286 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3287 I made some changes, though:
3288 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3289 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3290 that is a clear violation of policy.
3291 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3292 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3293 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3294 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3295 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3296 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3297 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3298 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3299 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3301 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3345 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3346 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3347 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3469 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3470 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3471 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3472 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3473 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3474 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3475 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3542 debhelper (2.0.22) unstable; urgency=low
3544 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
3545 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
3546 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
3547 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3548 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3549 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3550 it's always available.

3554 debhelper (2.0.21) unstable; urgency=low
3556 * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
3557 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
3558 Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> to make it use those id's instead
3559 of coming up with it's own. (Closes: #42650)

3565 * dh_perl: Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to allow
3566 specification on the command line of alternate paths to search for perl
3567 modules. (Closes: #42171)

3592 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
3593 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
3594 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

3639 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3640 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3641 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3650 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3651 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3652 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3686 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3687 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
3688 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

3704 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3705 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3718 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3719 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3720 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3721 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3723 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3724 current compatability level is equal to that number.

3751 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3752 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3753 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3754 more than 1 init script.

3797 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3798 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3799 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3813 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3814 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3815 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3861 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3862 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3863 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3865 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4185 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4212 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4213 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4214 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4215 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4218 suidregister actually supports it.

4236 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4237 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4238 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

4268 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4269 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not

4424 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4425 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to

4427 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4428 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4429 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4430 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4545 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4546 * Removed bogus menu file.

4594 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4595 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4609 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4610 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4611 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4612 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4613 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4614 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4628 large chunks in the process.

4797 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4798 past week. Thanks, guys!
4800 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4801 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4802 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4803 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4804 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4805 would do in the same situation.
4806 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4807 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4809 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4811 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4812 permissions changed.
4813 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4814 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4815 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4816 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4817 files are treated identically.
4818 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4831 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4832 use -X multiple times, too.

5107 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

5109 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5110 are supported. (#16935)

5128 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5129 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

5138 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5139 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5143 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5144 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5145 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5146 a given package, or -i or -a.
5147 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5148 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5149 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5150 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5151 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5152 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5153 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5154 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5155 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

5182 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5231 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5232 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5233 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5234 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
