3 * dh_auto_*: Add --parallel option that indicates the package supports
4 parallel building. Then if DH_BUILD_OPTIONS contains 'parallel=N',
5 and the build system supports it, parallel building is done.
6 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems) now supports
8 * dh: If --parallel is not explicitly specified, enable it anyway.
10 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for most of the work on parallel build support.

40 (It was only run once due to logging.)
41 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
42 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
43 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
44 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson

46 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
47 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293

68 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
69 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
70 flag with arch all/any packages.
71 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
72 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
73 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
74 situation. Closes: #540794

229 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
230 contributed by Modestas Vainius
231 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
232 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
233 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
234 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
235 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
236 that support it. Closes: #480577
237 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
238 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
239 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
241 - Adds support for cmake.
242 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
243 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
245 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
247 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
248 that use them. The options are:
249 --sourcedir, --destdir
250 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
251 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
252 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
253 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
254 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

321 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
322 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
323 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

526 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
528 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
529 that uses them. Affected options are:
530 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
531 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
532 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
533 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
534 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
535 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
536 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
537 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
538 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
539 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
540 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
541 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1065 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1066 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1068 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1069 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1070 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

1087 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses

1089 script and then remove the python files.
1090 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1091 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1092 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1093 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1094 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1097 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

1099 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1225 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1226 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1227 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1228 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1229 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1231 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1232 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1233 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1234 the not too-distant future).

1613 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2935 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2936 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2937 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2938 dh_install, which ...
2939 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2940 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2941 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2942 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2943 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2944 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2945 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2946 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2947 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2948 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2949 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2950 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2951 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2952 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2953 other minor changes.
2954 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2955 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2956 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2957 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2958 course there's -X ..)
2959 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2960 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2961 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2963 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2964 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2965 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2966 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2967 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

3011 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3012 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3014 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3015 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3042 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3044 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3045 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3046 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3047 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3048 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3049 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3050 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3051 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3052 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3053 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3054 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3055 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3056 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3057 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3058 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3059 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3061 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3094 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3096 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3097 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3098 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3099 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3100 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3101 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3102 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3103 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3104 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3288 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3289 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

3316 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3317 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3318 program those options go to. So, for example,
3319 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3522 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3524 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3525 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3526 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3527 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3528 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3529 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3530 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3531 but is mildly deprecated.
3532 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3533 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3534 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3535 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3536 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3537 switching to statoverrides..
3538 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3539 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3540 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3541 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3542 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3543 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3545 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3546 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3547 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3548 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3549 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3550 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3551 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3552 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3553 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3555 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3556 variable names, pod man pages).
3557 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3558 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3559 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3560 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3561 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3562 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3563 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3635 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3636 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3729 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3734 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3735 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3736 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3741 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3742 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3979 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3980 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3981 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3982 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.

3986 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3987 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3988 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3989 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;

3991 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

4207 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4208 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4209 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4210 bits until all files have been registered.

4220 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4221 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4222 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4224 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4225 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4226 otherwise change the result at all.
4228 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4229 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4348 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4349 I made some changes, though:
4350 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4351 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4352 that is a clear violation of policy.
4353 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4354 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4355 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4356 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4357 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4358 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4359 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4360 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4361 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4363 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4526 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
4527 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4528 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4529 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4530 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4531 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4532 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4533 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4534 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4535 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4536 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4537 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4538 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4544 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4545 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4546 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4548 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4549 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4550 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4551 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4552 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4553 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4555 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4556 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5246 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5247 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5489 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5490 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5491 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5492 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5528 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5529 sections of shared libraries.
5530 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5531 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5532 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5533 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5534 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5535 things you don't want them to.
5536 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5537 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5550 * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
5551 installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.
5552 * dh_installmanpages: the code to exclude searching for man pages in
5553 debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed.

5559 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/

5563 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
5564 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5565 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5566 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
5567 the program to not fail. (#26214)

5594 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
5596 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5597 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5598 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5599 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5600 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5601 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5603 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5604 remove debian/files properly.
5605 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5606 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5607 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5608 * Removed bogus menu file.

5621 * Dh_Lib.pm: made U_PARAMS an array of parameters.
5622 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
5623 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
5624 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5625 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5626 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
5627 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5635 * Dh_Lib.pm: escape_shell(): now escapes the full range of special
5636 characters recognized by bash (and ksh). Thanks to Branden Robinson
5637 <branden@purdue.edu> for looking that up.

5650 * dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl.
5651 * dh_installdirs: converted to perl, getting rid of nasty chdir en-route.
5652 * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
5654 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
5655 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
5656 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5657 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
5658 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
5659 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

5663 debhelper (1.1.4) unstable; urgency=low
5665 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
5666 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5667 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5668 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5669 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5670 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5671 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5672 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5673 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5674 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5675 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5676 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5677 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5678 passed any switches.
5679 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

5686 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
5687 at all for a long while.
5688 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
5689 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5690 large chunks in the process.
5691 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5692 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5710 * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if
5711 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
5712 that don't always have the same files in them.
5713 * dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
5714 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.

5723 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
5724 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
5725 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
5726 updating 27 man pages.
5727 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
5728 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
5729 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
5730 * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
5731 programs act on. (#25247)

5742 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan

5857 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5858 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5859 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5860 past week. Thanks, guys!
5862 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5863 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5864 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5865 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5866 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5867 would do in the same situation.
5868 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5869 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5871 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5873 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5874 permissions changed.
5875 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5876 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5877 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5878 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5879 files are treated identically.
5880 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5881 * Minor man page fixes.
5882 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5883 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5884 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5890 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
5891 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5892 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5893 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5894 use -X multiple times, too.
5895 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5896 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5920 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5921 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5922 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6022 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
6023 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
6024 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
6025 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
6026 no packages use the old behavior.

6032 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
6033 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was

6156 argument processor in perl.
6157 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
6158 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
6159 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")

6167 type directories. (#16933)
6168 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
6169 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6170 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6171 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6172 are supported. (#16935)
6173 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

6187 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
6189 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
6190 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6191 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6192 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6193 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
6194 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

6198 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6200 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6201 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6202 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6204 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6205 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6206 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6207 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6208 a given package, or -i or -a.
6209 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6210 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6211 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6212 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6213 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6214 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6215 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6216 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6217 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6219 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6220 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
6221 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

6241 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
6243 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6244 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6245 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
6246 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

6258 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6259 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6260 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6261 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6262 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6270 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
6271 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
6272 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
6273 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

6290 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
6292 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6293 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6294 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6295 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6296 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6297 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6298 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6373 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6374 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6375 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6376 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6377 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6473 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper

6513 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.

6519 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6521 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so

6525 the package build directory it is to act on.
6526 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6527 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
