549 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
550 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
551 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
552 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
553 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

698 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
699 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
700 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
701 dh_install, which ...
702 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
703 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
704 mess, as it uses debian/install.
705 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
706 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
707 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
708 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
709 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
710 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
711 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
712 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
713 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
714 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
715 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
717 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
718 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
719 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
720 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
721 course there's -X ..)
722 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
723 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
724 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
726 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
727 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
728 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
729 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
730 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

775 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
776 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
777 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
778 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

805 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
807 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
808 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
809 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
810 line, as well as in debian/rules.
811 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
812 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
813 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
814 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
815 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
816 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
817 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
818 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
819 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
820 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
821 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
822 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
824 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

841 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
842 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
843 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
844 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
845 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
846 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

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

1051 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1052 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1053 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1054 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1055 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1073 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
1075 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1076 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1077 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1078 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1079 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1080 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1081 program those options go to. So, for example,
1082 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1083 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1084 something complex. Closes: #89311

1222 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
1223 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
1224 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1225 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1226 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1227 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1228 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1229 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1230 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1231 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
1232 Closes: #88464, #77743
1233 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
1234 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
1235 us to deal with that gracefully.

1285 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1287 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1288 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1289 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1290 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1291 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1292 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1293 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1294 but is mildly deprecated.
1295 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1296 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1297 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1298 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1299 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1300 switching to statoverrides..
1301 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1302 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1303 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1304 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1305 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1306 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1308 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1309 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1310 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1311 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1312 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1313 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1314 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1315 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1316 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1318 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1319 variable names, pod man pages).
1320 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1321 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1322 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1323 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1324 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1325 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1326 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1398 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1399 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
1400 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
1401 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

1492 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1493 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1494 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1495 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1497 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1498 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1499 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1549 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
1550 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
1551 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

1564 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

1566 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
1567 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

1742 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1743 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1744 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1745 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1746 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1747 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1748 notice until v2 is complete.
1749 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1750 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1751 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1752 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1753 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1754 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1756 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1757 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1758 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

1971 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2055 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2056 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

2111 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2112 I made some changes, though:
2113 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2114 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2115 that is a clear violation of policy.
2116 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2117 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2118 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2119 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2120 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2121 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2122 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2123 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2124 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2126 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2294 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2295 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2296 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2297 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2298 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2299 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2300 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2301 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2576 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
2577 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
2578 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
2579 more than 1 init script.

2622 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
2623 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
2624 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

2639 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
2640 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

2686 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)

2688 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3250 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3251 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3252 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3253 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3254 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3255 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3620 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
3621 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3622 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3623 past week. Thanks, guys!
3625 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3626 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3627 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3628 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3629 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3630 would do in the same situation.
3631 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3632 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3634 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3636 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3637 permissions changed.
3638 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3639 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3640 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3641 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3642 files are treated identically.
3643 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
3644 * Minor man page fixes.
3645 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
3646 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
3647 --no-act is on. (#23054)

3656 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3657 use -X multiple times, too.
3658 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

4055 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4056 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4057 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4058 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4059 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4060 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4061 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4080 * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
4081 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
4082 the dh_* programs (#15497).
4083 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

4110 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

4135 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
4136 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4137 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4138 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4139 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4140 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4192 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4193 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4194 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4195 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4199 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4201 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4202 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4203 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4204 multiple binary packages.
4205 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4206 should rebuild them with this version.
4207 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4225 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4227 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4228 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4229 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4230 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4231 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4232 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4233 debian/README.debian.
4234 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4235 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4236 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4237 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4238 in a few situations.)

4269 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4271 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4272 is ready for general use.
4273 * Added man pages for all commands.
4274 * Multiple binary package support.
4275 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4276 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4277 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4279 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4280 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4281 auto-installed as parameters.
4282 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4284 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4287 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4288 the package build directory it is to act on.
4289 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4290 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4291 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
