27 * dh_installmenus: Now that a triggers capable menu and dpkg are in
28 stable, menu does not need to be explicitly run in maintainer
29 scripts, except for packages with menu-methods files. (See #473467)
30 * dh_installdocs: No longer add maintainer script code to call
31 doc-base, as it supports triggers in stable.

36 of specific upstream changelogs. re-Closes: #490937

70 fields in dpkg-gencontrol.
71 * dh_gencontrol: No longer need to generate the udeb filename
72 when calling dpkg-gencontrol.

74 include the Homepage field in udebs (fixed in dpkg-dev 1.14.17).

81 * Fix some docs that refered to --srcdir rather than --sourcedir.
83 * Add Vcs-Browser field. Closes: #507804
84 * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
85 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
86 to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
88 (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
89 warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)

96 with ".txt". Closes: #498460
97 * dh_gencontrol: Ensure misc:Depends is set in substvars to avoid dpkg
98 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
99 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
100 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
101 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
103 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
104 that uses them. Affected options are:
105 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
106 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
107 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
108 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
109 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
110 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
111 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
112 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
113 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
114 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
115 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
116 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

141 * dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
142 eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
144 * Remove rules.simple example, there's little need to use explicit targets
146 * dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
147 which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit

189 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
190 source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or
191 debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any

211 dh_shlibdeps, which both use it. (It could be changed not to, but

226 * rules.tiny: Typo fix. Closes: #479647
227 * dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a
228 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
229 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
230 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default
231 in a future (v8) compatibility level. Closes: #471060

283 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
284 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
285 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
286 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
287 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
288 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
289 logging by dh_listpackages.

322 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
323 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
324 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
325 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
326 planned but not yet implemented.)

330 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

332 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
333 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
334 but not yet implemented.)
335 * New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new
336 recommended default, especially when using dh.
337 * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
338 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

529 tarballs that contain debian directories, by allowing debhelper config
530 files in those directories to be ignored, since there's generally no

638 debhelper (5.0.45) unstable; urgency=low
640 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
641 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
643 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
644 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
645 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
646 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
647 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
648 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
649 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
650 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
651 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
652 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
653 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

659 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
660 package install. Closes: #415717
661 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
662 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
663 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
664 script and then remove the python files.
665 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
666 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
667 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
668 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
669 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
670 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
671 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
672 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
673 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
674 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
675 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
676 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
677 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

698 away inside a subdirectory. The code missed this before. See #200905
699 * dh_installudev: Support debian/udev files. Closes: #381854
700 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros
701 can be used (also so that a leading "z" that is not "z60" can be

733 * dh_installinfo: Put the section madness to bed by not passing any section
734 information to install-info. Current install-info parses INFO-DIR-SECTION

762 a difficult situation.
763 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
764 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
765 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
766 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
767 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
768 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
769 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
770 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
771 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
772 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

791 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
793 * Non-maintainer upload.
794 * Update of dh_python
795 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
796 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
797 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
798 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
799 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
800 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
801 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
802 specific python version. Closes: #373853
803 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
804 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
806 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
807 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
808 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
809 the not too-distant future).
810 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
811 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
812 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
813 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
814 thus made the build fail.

1028 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
1029 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
1030 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
1031 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
1032 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
1033 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
1034 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

1063 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only

1065 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1066 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
1067 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980

1069 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

1184 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
1185 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1186 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1187 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1188 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2513 dh_install, which ...
2514 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649

2518 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2519 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2520 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2521 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2522 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2523 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026

2525 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2526 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2527 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2528 other minor changes.
2529 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2530 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2531 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2532 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2533 course there's -X ..)
2534 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2535 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2536 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2538 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2539 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2540 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2541 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2542 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2587 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2589 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

2617 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2619 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2620 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2621 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2622 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2623 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2624 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2625 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2626 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2627 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2628 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2629 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2630 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2631 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2632 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2633 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2634 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2636 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2671 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2672 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2673 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2674 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2675 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2676 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2677 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2678 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2679 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2863 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2864 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2865 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2894 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3016 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

3036 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3037 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3038 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3039 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3040 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3041 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3042 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3043 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3099 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3100 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3101 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3102 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3103 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3104 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3105 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3106 but is mildly deprecated.
3107 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3108 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3109 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3110 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3111 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3112 switching to statoverrides..
3113 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3114 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3115 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3116 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3117 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3118 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3120 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3121 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3122 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3123 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3124 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3125 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3126 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3127 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3128 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3130 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3131 variable names, pod man pages).
3132 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3133 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3134 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3135 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3136 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3137 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3138 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3211 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3304 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3305 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3306 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3307 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3309 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3310 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3311 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3313 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

3316 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3317 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3554 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3555 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3556 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3557 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3558 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3559 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3560 notice until v2 is complete.
3561 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3562 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3563 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3564 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3565 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3566 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3568 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3569 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3570 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3782 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3783 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3784 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3785 bits until all files have been registered.

3924 I made some changes, though:
3925 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3926 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3927 that is a clear violation of policy.
3928 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3929 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3930 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3931 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3932 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3933 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3934 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3935 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3936 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3938 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4102 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4103 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4104 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4105 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4106 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4107 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4108 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4109 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4110 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4111 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4112 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4113 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4125 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4126 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4127 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4128 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5029 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
5031 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
5032 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
5033 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
5034 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
5035 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
5036 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

5040 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
5042 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
5043 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5044 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5045 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5046 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5057 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
5059 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
5060 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5061 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5062 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5063 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5064 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5065 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5066 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5067 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5079 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
5080 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
5081 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

5103 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5104 sections of shared libraries.
5105 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5106 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5107 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5108 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5109 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5110 things you don't want them to.
5111 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5112 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5139 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5140 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5141 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

5171 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5172 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5173 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5174 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5175 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5176 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5178 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5179 remove debian/files properly.
5180 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5181 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5182 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

5232 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5246 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5247 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5248 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5249 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5250 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5251 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5252 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5253 passed any switches.

5265 large chunks in the process.

5434 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5435 past week. Thanks, guys!
5437 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5438 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5439 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5440 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5441 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5442 would do in the same situation.
5443 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5444 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5446 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5448 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5449 permissions changed.
5450 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5451 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5452 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5453 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5454 files are treated identically.
5455 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5468 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5469 use -X multiple times, too.

5782 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5783 a given package, or -i or -a.
5784 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5785 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5786 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5787 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5788 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5789 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5791 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6007 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6011 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6013 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6014 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6015 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6016 multiple binary packages.
6017 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6018 should rebuild them with this version.
6019 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6037 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6039 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6040 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6041 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6042 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6043 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6044 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6045 debian/README.debian.
6046 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6047 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6048 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6049 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6050 in a few situations.)

6054 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

6081 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6083 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6084 is ready for general use.
6085 * Added man pages for all commands.
6086 * Multiple binary package support.
6087 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6088 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6089 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6091 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6092 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6093 auto-installed as parameters.
6094 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6096 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6099 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6100 the package build directory it is to act on.
6101 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6102 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6103 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
