122 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
123 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
124 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
125 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
126 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
127 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
128 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
129 specific python version. Closes: #373853
130 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
131 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
133 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
134 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
135 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
136 the not too-distant future).
137 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
138 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
139 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
140 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

1837 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1838 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1839 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1840 dh_install, which ...
1841 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1842 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1843 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1844 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1845 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1846 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1847 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1848 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1849 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1850 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1851 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1852 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1853 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1854 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1855 other minor changes.
1856 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1857 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1858 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1859 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1860 course there's -X ..)
1861 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1862 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1863 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1865 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1866 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1867 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1868 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1869 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1914 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1916 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1917 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1944 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1946 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1947 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1948 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1949 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1950 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1951 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1952 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1953 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1954 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1955 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1956 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1957 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1958 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1959 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1960 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1961 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1963 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1981 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1982 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1983 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1984 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

1998 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1999 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2000 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2001 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2002 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2003 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2004 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2005 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2006 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2182 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2183 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2184 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2185 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2186 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2187 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2188 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2189 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2190 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2191 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2192 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2193 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2194 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2214 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2215 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2216 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2217 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2218 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2219 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2220 program those options go to. So, for example,
2221 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2222 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2223 something complex. Closes: #89311

2361 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2363 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2364 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2365 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2366 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2367 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2368 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2369 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2370 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2424 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2426 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2427 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2428 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2429 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2430 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2431 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2432 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2433 but is mildly deprecated.
2434 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2435 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2436 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2437 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2438 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2439 switching to statoverrides..
2440 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2441 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2442 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2443 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2444 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2445 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2447 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2448 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2449 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2450 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2451 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2452 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2453 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2454 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2455 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2457 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2458 variable names, pod man pages).
2459 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2460 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2461 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2462 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2463 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2464 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2465 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2534 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2535 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2536 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2537 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2538 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2539 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2540 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2541 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2542 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2543 it is an obsolete program.

2630 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2631 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2632 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2633 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2634 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2636 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2637 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2638 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2640 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2642 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2643 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2644 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2645 should now be raised to severity important..
2646 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2647 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2881 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2882 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2883 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2884 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2885 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2886 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2887 notice until v2 is complete.
2888 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2889 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2890 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2891 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2892 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2893 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2895 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3106 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3107 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3108 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3109 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3110 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3111 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3112 bits until all files have been registered.

3121 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3122 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3123 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3124 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3125 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3126 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3127 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3128 otherwise change the result at all.
3130 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3131 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3132 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3150 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3151 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3153 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3154 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3155 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3156 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3195 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

3250 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3251 I made some changes, though:
3252 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3253 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3254 that is a clear violation of policy.
3255 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3256 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3257 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3258 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3259 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3260 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3261 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3262 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3263 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3265 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3307 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3308 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3309 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3310 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3311 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3312 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

3429 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3430 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3431 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3432 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3433 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3434 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3435 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3436 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3437 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3438 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3439 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3440 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3450 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3452 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that

3455 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4176 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4177 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4178 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4179 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4182 suidregister actually supports it.
4183 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4184 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4197 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4198 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

4200 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4201 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4202 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

4232 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4233 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not

4391 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4392 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4393 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4552 * dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl.
4553 * dh_installdirs: converted to perl, getting rid of nasty chdir en-route.
4554 * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
4556 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
4557 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
4558 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4559 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
4560 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
4561 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

4567 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
4568 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
4569 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4570 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4571 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4572 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4573 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4574 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4575 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4576 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4577 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4578 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4579 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4580 passed any switches.
4581 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4588 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
4589 at all for a long while.
4590 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
4591 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4592 large chunks in the process.
4593 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4594 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4613 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
4614 that don't always have the same files in them.
4615 * dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
4616 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.

4627 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
4628 updating 27 man pages.
4629 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
4630 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
4631 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

4759 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4760 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4761 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4762 past week. Thanks, guys!
4764 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4765 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4766 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4767 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4768 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4769 would do in the same situation.
4770 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4771 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4773 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4775 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4776 permissions changed.
4777 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4778 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4779 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4780 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4781 files are treated identically.
4782 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4783 * Minor man page fixes.
4784 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4786 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4793 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4794 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4795 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4796 use -X multiple times, too.
4797 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4798 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4823 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4824 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5107 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command

5109 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5110 a given package, or -i or -a.
5111 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5112 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5113 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5114 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5116 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5118 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5197 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
